Taipei mayor markets Nanmen Market New Year dishes and commends Taipei's excellent markets

As the Lunar New Year approaches, Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je attended the press conference on the morning of the 17th for the launch of Nanmen Market's New Year dish shopping month, praising Nanmen Market's specialty New Year dishes and presenting awards to commend markets rated as having excellent operations in the 106th year. Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je said that if you have only 30 minutes to understand a city, the simplest way is to go to a market, because a market is a microcosm of people's lives. Precisely because of this, he cares greatly about the progress of markets.

Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je said that Nanmen Market has always been a benchmark market in Taipei. Not only is it neat and clean with well-planned traffic flow, but the food sold in the market is also of the best quality. He also revealed that because his wife works at the women's and children's hospital next to Nanmen Market, she often stops by Nanmen Market to buy things after work, so he frequently eats food from Nanmen Market and is very experienced with it.

Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je said that for a long time, Nanmen Market has become a city ambassador for Taipei. Today, many vendors will put out their best New Year dishes to compete, and he sincerely hopes that citizens and friends will take the time to stroll around, buy New Year dishes, and experience the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year.

Guided by Wang Chuankuo, chairman of the Nanmen Market Self-Governance Association, Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je visited stalls and tasted specialty New Year dishes along the way. Wang Chuankuo also introduced to the guests the featured online New Year dish products from famous Nanmen Market stalls that are being snapped up this year, including Wanyouquan's Fuguishuangfang, Xu Family's Eight-Treasure Taro Paste, Longji's Sugarcane Chicken, Yichang Yufang's Heart-Too-Soft... and other 6 combinations with more than 70 products, allowing consumers to choose freely without waiting in line. They can also buy products from famous stalls in the market all in one go, and direct fresh frozen home delivery is provided, so people can easily buy famous Nanmen dishes and experience the most classic New Year dish flavors at home. Afterwards, they moved to the second floor of Nanmen Market to attend the 106th year market evaluation award event held by the Market Affairs Office.
