Kaohsiung Ruifeng Night Market (Local Food & Travel Guide)

Ruifeng Night Market has recently become a very popular tourist night market in Kaohsiung. Foreigners are often seen visiting. As for what food is delicious and not disappointing? I'd like to ask locals for recommendations. This is purely based on personal preference. After all, different regions have different tastes. People in the south prefer sweeter food, and many friends in the north cannot accept food with a little sweetness (except desserts). This is just a recommendation based on personal preference! First of all, here are the must-try stalls every time I go: 1. Crispy chicken at the entrance (next to International Steak). The crispy chicken here is from an old shop, very, very old. What’s different from ordinary crispy chicken is that their oil is very clean, there is no greasy smell, and then there is the meat, there is no bone and it is not dry at all. Personally, I like to add pepper + plum powder, it tastes very good! Price: 50 yuan 2 Peng’s Stinky Tofu: This is also a time-honored brand, passed down from mother to son. The stinky tofu they cook is flavorful and filling, and it is one of the few foods you’ll find filling at night markets. The duck blood is tasty, but it seems that it is not open every day. Sometimes there will be another stinky tofu stall opened on his stall. Please recognize the sign, the taste is very different! A small bowl costs 90 yuan, a large bowl costs 110 yuan, and adding vermicelli costs 20 yuan. It is generally recommended to eat when you are very hungry. 1. Wanguo Steak: I think this is the best steak restaurant in Ruifeng Night Market. At least I like its thick soup. If you want to eat cheaply and full at the night market, steak is the best choice. Among the many steak stalls in Ruifeng, Wanguo is the most recommended. The quality is stable and the portion is large. 2 Mongolian BBQ: There's only one, so you can't go wrong. You can serve your own dishes here and eat a lot. You can also discuss with the boss whether you want the taste to be lighter or heavier. For those who love vegetables, this is the best choice at the night market. 3. Wujia Black Tea Ice: If you want to drink cheap and stable quality at the night market, Wujia must be the first choice. It has a high CP value and is one of the few beverage shops where I will not have diarrhea after drinking at the night market. 😂 4. The corn and peanut stall next to Wu's Black Tea. Actually, this stall mainly sells sugarcane juice, but I have tasted it and I think it is ordinary and has no special features. On the contrary, their boiled corn and steamed peanuts are delicious. If you have elderly people at home, you can take them back. I usually buy some peanuts to go with the TV. The price is calculated by weight, which is not cheap but not expensive either. It is good to satisfy your cravings. Finally, I would like to recommend that delicious food will taste almost the same no matter which store you buy from. 1. Fruit candied haws. Basically, the taste is almost the same after trying five or six shops. Just pick the one with the shortest queue. 2QQ eggs (sweet potato balls) This depends on personal preference. If you like the crispy texture, you can look for those that are freshly fried and look darker in color. There are also others with fillings and special shapes, it all depends on personal preference. All the ones here are delicious. 3. Fried milk, delicious but expensive, so I rarely buy it. If you don’t feel full, just eat it as a snack to satisfy your cravings. 4. Occasionally there are dessert shops for foreigners. Sometimes there will be strong male foreigners selling biscuits and cakes from their hometown. The price is a little bit higher, but the taste is very interesting and the boss is also very cute. However, he does not appear often, so it depends on luck. 5. The German pork knuckle that my friend loves to eat. I personally think it’s just so-so, but he loves it very much. The skin is very crispy, and one portion is about 200-250, which is a snack with a slightly higher price. 6 The braised food in the window is delicious to go with wine or rice. There are various choices and it is relatively nutritious. Sometimes I go there when I want to eat at the night market and want to eat something light. Remember to add sauerkraut, it is the soul. --The above is personal recommendation-- Of course, there are other delicacies, such as fried squid, brown sugar milk tea, etc., which are very popular. Just eat what you like. In fact, there are not many chances of disappointment in this night market, because if it is not delicious, it will usually be rejected immediately 😂 In addition, there are many things to do in Ruifeng, such as ring tossing, ball shooting, darts, and the special game of divination, which is a game that relies entirely on luck, as well as the old-fashioned sausage-fighting game. They are all worth playing, especially the last two rows, which are full of games. There are also bean puzzles, sand paintings, grilled paintings, etc. that can keep children entertained for a long time. You can actually cultivate your temperament at the night market. oh! By the way, it’s rare to see such a large area of ​​ring tossing. If you want to win the grand prize, you can try it. You may have a chance to win high-end prizes such as red wine. It’s really a very large area and it’s really fun to put it on! Another recommendation is that there is a stall in the middle row that makes name tags (it’s a stall in a tin house, quite big, and it’s the only stall in the whole night market that has a house that makes name tags). They can make seals and name tags, and they can be made very quickly and at a cheap price. You can place an order first and pick up the finished product after dinner. It’s very fast! I've worked there five or six times. There are many choices and the boss can basically meet all kinds of requirements. In fact, other stalls also make name stickers, and some are cheaper than his, but the selection and technology here are better, and there is a wider range of customization, so I recommend this one. There are also various claw machines, but I personally don’t like the ones in the night market. They are not easy to grab and the holes are small. If you like to grab dolls, you can consider going to the several claw machine stores next to the 8th Street Mall opposite, which are much friendlier. In addition, Eighth Street is also recommended for a visit. If you are a foreigner traveling here and suddenly forget to bring any small items (umbrellas, makeup supplies, socks, etc.), you can go to Eighth Street to buy them (just opposite the night market) at very cheap prices! And there are many kinds of items, there will be surprises. Recommended purchase: 1. Belts and wallets: The stall is basically run by an auntie or uncle (there are no young bosses). The whole stall sells wallets and belts. The leather products purchased here are usually cheap and durable. I bought a belt as a gift for a family member. It has been used for six years and it has not broken. It only cost 250 yuan. The owner also helped with punching holes and cutting. Good service. 2 Socks. Basically, it’s also sold by aunties and uncles. A pair of socks costs 10 yuan or more, which has a very high CP value. The better quality ones are a little more expensive, but the price-performance ratio is really high. 3. For the candied fruit stall, please also look for the stall of the uncle and auntie, and order the ancient utensils, the more Zhengzhong 😂 As for clothes and jewelry, it depends on personal preference, but I usually don’t buy them because they look very similar to the products on the Internet, but they are 2-3 times more expensive than the online prices, so unless I really love them, I usually won’t buy them. Recommended services: For massage, if you want to experience traditional strength, I would recommend Ruifeng Massage. There are actually two massage parlors here, one in the aisle and one at a big corner. The one at the big corner has better business. The smaller stalls in the aisle are also cheaper. I personally like the one in the middle of the aisle. The auntie has a comfortable massage and uses essential oils. You can get a very comfortable massage for NT$100. However, you have to be prepared to be stared at by others for a massage. All in all, food, drinks, and entertainment are all included here. You can walk around all night long, and even the surrounding areas are very close to the Dome. If you have enough leg strength, visit the Dome in the morning and come to Ruifeng in the evening. I guarantee that you will be able to walk for ten hours. Once again, it is very difficult to find a parking space. The MRT bus is the best option. If you really can’t find a space when you come by motorcycle, you can ride to the vicinity of the Dome and look for one.
