Based on the famous Dadaocheng Wharf, the concept brings authentic flavours and Taiwan’s iconic night-market charm to Singapore.

The team behind Taiwan Night Markets has also built close affiliations with well-known names such as Shilin Night Market to better understand how to deliver the best experience here in Singapore.

You can expect bona fide night market snacks such as the addictive salty crispy chicken, Taiwanese QQ sweet potato balls and scallion pancakes.
