My 2nd night in Taitung was quite packed with many nice activities. First of all, to have my scooter well washed. So dirty through roads under constructions and bugs on wind shield.

Tatung Night Market, on Zhengqi Road (正氣路), 10-minute walking distance from my hotel. I hate to admit that there are too many same cuisines you can find in other night markets all over Taiwan, although they are still well made. Hardly find something that's one of a kind in a specific location.

So I took a very simple dinner at a diner that local residents visits, north side of night market. The dinner costs me ~NT$100, about USD3.3, really nice.

Still, a little treat to my self with a deep-fried stinky tofu. This
stinky tofu shop is nice, near Taitung Bus Terminal. Super crispy and unexpected tender inside. Tofu being stinky in a smooth initial with herbal post-flavor. Its house-made chili sauce brings up stimulation while not burning in my mouth.

Strolling along Tie-Hua Village. Its signature lanterns collection has been beautifully illuminating the park in former Taitung railroad station. Pubs and restaurants along where the platform was. Too bad nothing attractive to me with a fully loaded belly.

After 1.5-hour walking around numerous streets and alleys in the lovely small town at southeast Taiwan, I eventually got some spare space for a bowl of "Douhua", soft tofu in light syrup, served chill, in a 25-Celsius night time, before Christmas time.
A little bit thankful to global warming for a short moment, inappropriate but thankful.
