Cooking up a storm in Taiwan

Hot on the heels of the successful Night Market Competition, in which Shilin, in Taipei, and Liuhe, in Kaohsiung, Night Markets were dubbed the best in Taiwan, the tourist board is now on the trail to find the best Night Market Snack on the island.

Taking place on 21st November 2010 in Miaokou Market Market, Keelung, the competition will be fierce with the North, centre, South, East and Off-islands all participating. There will be three teams representing each area, one preparing soup, one preparing a snack and one preparing a dessert.
 
There will be a number of judges for the competition; French chef Alain Cirelli, international and local gourmands, media and tourists will all form the panel. Winners of the competition will win up to NT$100,000 (over £2,000).
