Taipei has countless night markets around and Tong Hua is one of the smallest – it's patronised largely by largely locals as tourists gravitate to the more famous hotspots, such as Raohe and Shihlin.

But if you find yourself here, make a beeline for Masa Spring Roll Ice Cream stall, which offers one of the best versions of this Taiwanese snack – and there are MANY stalls selling this.

Comprising three scoops of ice cream on a bed of finely shaved peanut brittle, garnished with fresh coriander and rolled in spring roll wrappers, this snack might sound awfully strange, but trust me, it's GOOD. But what makes Masa unique is that while most other stalls use only taro ice cream, theirs features pineapple and red bean as well; as you munch from one end of the roll to the other, you'll experience three different flavour combinations ranging from tangy to sweet, nuanced with a piquant sharpness from the coriander and the mellow nuttiness of the peanut brittle.

This is one of the most memorable things I ate in Taipei and I highly recommend this as a must-try!
