Kaohsiung's Liuhe/Ruifeng Night Market: these six stalls deliver on flavor
The six stalls with the longest lines at Liuhe/Ruifeng. Lao Jiang (老江) pairs Gao Mu (高牧) fresh milk with old-style charcoal-roasted black tea; some say the charcoal's bitterness makes the milk tea taste like Taiwanese-style coffee. Zhuang Ji's (莊記) seafood congee has five ingredients in one bowl: fresh oysters, fish, sweet Arctic shrimp, squid, and clams.

鄭老牌木瓜牛奶(Zheng Lao Pai Papaya Milk (long-running papaya milk stand))
A papaya milk stand on the Zhongshan Road side of Liuhe Night Market, recommended by locals. Each cup is blended to order, and the papaya is not left until it turns bitter. It tastes rich and heavy, generously filled and not watered down, with a more substantial texture than typical stalls. You can ask for no ice when you order, and they will not refuse.
Good for✓Walking the Liuhe Night Market and wanting a rich drink✓People who like the thick, hearty texture of papaya milk✓People who want it without ice

The owner and staff are described as warm, the owner's wife is said to remember customers well, and some say they will make the drink without ice on request. A few mention a poor attitude when questioned and being unable to adjust the sweetness.
