AI Spot Summary
The soup of the药燉排骨 (braised pork ribs in medicinal herbs) feels warm, but this time the meat was a bit tough and the soup was slightly too sweet, possibly because it wasn't consumed immediately after takeout.
The crowds at Shilin Night Market have returned to the lively atmosphere before the pandemic, but the environment of the night market is somewhat hard to maintain.
The popularity is very high, so you need to wait in line, but the serving and dining speed are both quick, so you don't have to wait too long.

The Shilin Night Market, which I haven't visited in a while, feels like it’s back to the pre-pandemic crowds, with many people and a lively atmosphere. As the weather gets colder, I feel like having some medicinal braised pork ribs. The popularity is still high, and there are queues for both takeout and dine-in, but the food comes out quickly, so you don’t have to wait too long. Besides the several medicinal pots serving food at the entrance, the neighboring stall is responsible for making oyster omelets and other dishes. The environment is what you’d expect from a night market, so you shouldn’t have too high expectations. The dishes still warm you up, but I felt like the meat was a bit tough and the soup was somewhat sweet, which might be due to getting takeout and not eating it right away.
