EP97 New Taipei Shenkeng / Shiding | Framed for a Crime

from Bao Island Storyteller: Journey to the West

Episode 97 takes us to the mountains just southeast of Taipei — Shenkeng and Shiding, two neighbouring old towns in New Taipei City connected by winding mountain roads. Shenkeng Old Street is Taiwan's undisputed capital of stinky tofu, where an entire lane of shops each offers their own take on this pungent, crispy, irresistible delicacy. Nearby, Shiding's Crooked Lane (不見天街) is a covered alley built over a stream, and the viewpoint at Thousand Island Lake reveals a reservoir studded with green islets that looks like it belongs in a fantasy film. Over fiery, crispy Shenkeng stinky tofu and a refined Shiding tofu meal, we follow Sun Wukong as he goes from hero to prisoner to underworld investigator — all to prove they didn't do something they didn't do.Location: Shenkeng DistrictFood: Shenkeng Stinky Tofu | Shiding Tofu Meal
