2025 Shenkeng Old Street Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

I wanted to stay home, but I suddenly felt hungry on Sunday afternoon, so I rushed to Shenkeng Old Street~ Although it was raining, it couldn't stop our foodie spirit! I didn't expect that Taipei people are all foodies. How could there be so many people in the rain? There was almost no space in the parking lot😆. There is no way. This old street really hides a lot of treasures. I will share the 4 delicious flavors of this time👇 ✨Pickled vegetables×charcoal grilled stinky tofu×Hakka rice cakes all at once #Shenkeng Must-eat Guide --- 1️⃣ **Shenkeng Xu Mama Pickled Vegetables**｜The taste of time pickled by ancient methods 🏮 A 70-year-old brand at the corner of the old street, pickled pickles in pottery jars are super retro! ✨ **Must-buy**: ✔️ Crispy **Soybean curd** (great for porridge) ✔️ Sweet **Fermented tofu** (with wine aroma but not too salty) 💡 I bought pickled mustard and pickled bamboo shoots this time, and will go back to make pickled mustard and shredded pork noodles --- 2️⃣ **Grilled stinky tofu under the tree**｜Smoky aroma! 🌳 Tin stall under the banyan tree, the charcoal aroma spreads throughout the street~ 🔥 **Must-order**: ✔️ **Signature grilled stinky tofu** (four ways to eat) At the entrance of the old street, on the right hand side from the parking lot. It can be eaten in four ways. We tried the coriander, which was spread out with plenty of coriander😁 --- 3️⃣ **Old Place Restaurant**｜Banquet-level local dishes 🍲 **Steamed or spicy stinky tofu** (with duck blood and large intestine, satisfying at once) 🐔 **Free-range chicken** (skin is chewy and meat is sweet and dipped in orange sauce, perfect match) 🌿 **Bamboo shoots** (have another bowl of lard rice, it's so delicious😋) --- 4️⃣ **Cousin Hakka Kueh**｜Q-elastic paradise 👵🏻 Hakka auntie makes it daily, and the white smoke from the steamer is the best signature~ 🍡 **Must try**: ✔️ **Cao Zai Kueh** (salted radish shreds or sweet red beans, the skin is super long and not sticky) ✔️ **Brown sugar Kueh** (different from brown sugar cake, it has a solid and chewy texture) ✔️ ** Taro cake (lots of taro shreds, fry until slightly burnt for a more fragrant taste) 💬 Auntie said: "It can be kept frozen for two weeks, and it will be just as soft and sticky when you steam it at home!" Next time I come, I want to try the Shenkeng Hall Cafe, which was transformed from a historical building. Cafes with stories are my favorite #Shenkeng#Taipei Suburbs#Taipei Weekend#Weekend Parent-Child#Old Street Eats#Hakka Food#Pickled Vegetables Lover#Shenkeng Food#Shenkeng Old Street

He moved to a new store a few years ago, but the taste has not changed and is still as delicious. When you come to Shenkeng, you must eat stinky tofu. The best in Shenkeng is Xiao Shifu. Both fried and steamed stinky tofu are delicious, and stir-fried dishes are also good. Highly recommended 👍 💰Average consumption: 300 #Shenkeng Food #Shenkeng Must Eat #Steamed Stinky Tofu

As a stinky tofu lover, Shenkeng Old Street is a must-visit attraction. In fact, the old street is not very long. It can be walked through in about 15 minutes when there are few people. The old street is mainly food, and a small number of shops have traditional flavors, so it is recommended not to stay too long. There is a public parking lot here, which is much cheaper than private parking, so give priority to finding a public parking lot when visiting. It is also the mechanical parking lot closest to the entrance of the old street. Because the sign is not obvious enough, you usually have to check first before you can find it. The streets are clean, and there are trash cans in the middle of the road. Since most of the food is snacks, remember to throw them into the trash can after eating! Recommended food list: 1. Shenkeng stinky tofu: I ate at two restaurants and the taste was similar. The stinky tofu here is smelly, but it doesn't make your mouth feel bad when you eat it. I think it is a good experience for stinky tofu beginners. If you are afraid of the smell and dare not try it, Shenkeng stinky tofu is recommended. They are grilled, brushed with a special sauce on the outside, and cut in half with kimchi or sauerkraut in the middle. They are a portable delicacy that can be eaten on the go. 2 Zongzi: It is amazing that on this old street, besides stinky tofu, zongzi is the second most popular item, and the items are very detailed, there are both southern zongzi and northern zongzi. I bought some of each to eat. As a southerner, I can say responsibly that their northern zongzi is delicious and magical. I have not eaten this kind of flavor in the south and personally cannot accept it, so I recommend the northern zongzi. 3 Sweet purple rice cake: There are a lot of cold cakes sold along the whole street. You have to look carefully for sweet rice cakes. Usually, cold cake shops sell them, but be sure to ask the price first. Personally, I don't recommend cold cakes because I think the skin has no taste, and the filling is semi-finished red bean paste, which is very sweet but not delicious. So to say it's sweet is not the same as to say it's not sweet, but it's also weird. I can only say that it doesn't suit my taste. I regretted buying two boxes and gave them away. However, the sweet purple rice cake I bought by the way was unexpectedly delicious, so I recommend this little supporting role. 4. Chicken butt (Seven-Li Xiang): The Seven-Li Xiang at the entrance of the temple always has a long queue and is a favorite of locals. I don’t dare to eat the butt, so my friend who was traveling with me gave it a good review after eating it, saying it was "juicy, super big, and fragrant." He said that he had never eaten such a big chicken butt, so friends who like Seven-Li Xiang can give it a try. The above are the delicacies I recommend. As for which ones, except for the chicken butt shop at the temple entrance, the others are almost the same. No matter which one you buy, be sure to ask the price first. There are also many restaurants here. You can come and try the traditional flavor dishes when you have time. Address: Shenkeng Street, Shenkeng District, New Taipei City Business hours: 9:00-21:00

#Let's go to Asia #Taiwan #Taipei #Taipei #Old Street #Shenbei City 📍Location: Shenkeng St, Shenkeng District A mysterious place with a streetscape that is somehow not Asian. There are not many Japanese tourists, and it is not well known, but it is enchanting with the atmosphere that feels like Asia. There are cute cafes, and colorful flowers and greenery growing in the windows of the buildings, so I feel that it is an aesthetically pleasing streetscape. There seem to be many restaurants that serve tofu dishes, but there are also various souvenir shops and stores, so be sure to check them out. However, there are quite a lot of tourists on the main street, so if you want to take photos, the best place to take a picture is a street or two away from the main street. 📷 If you don't buy anything, you can enjoy it empty-handed. We traveled from Taiwan city center by bus and train. It is especially recommended for those who are familiar with Taiwan and want to explore other spots, or those who have time for sightseeing.
