We purposely avoided stinky tofu when we visited taiwan few years ago. Now this video makes me really want to go back to Taiwan and try stinky tofu and see how it goes. That reaction btw was really genuine and hilarious 😅. You’re my fave youtubers now.
Hahaha it definitely doesn’t smell appealing, does it?! 😂 We only did because a couple of our friends said if you can get past the smell, it’s pretty good! Can’t say I agree, but to each their own. Lol You should definitely try it!! you never know.. and worst case you can have some hilarious photos later! 😂 Aww wow, thank you so much!! 🥺❤️ That means so much to us!
Just came back after my 8 Days holiday in Taiwan. Visited quite a number of night markets, including Shilin. You need to try the grilled jumbo size big fat Taiwanese sausage there. They sell it by the weight and cut it into bite-size pieces for you. You can even buy the vacuumed-packed uncooked sausages or semi-cooked ones home. Another good eat at Shilin is the XXL crispy fried chicken, definitely much much better than the over-rated J&G fried chicken续光香香鸡 at XiMengDing. And that’s it about Shilin Street Food that I’m impressed about. 😅 After visiting a few nights markets in Taiwan trying the popular food there, I quit eating Street food. The restaurants and proper shop eateries in Taiwan actually serve much more proper, yummy, nutritious and well-prepared meals and my gastronomic journey was better stretched. 😂
Oh I hope you had a great holiday! We got to visit a few spots as well, what was your favorite night market?? And yes, the restaurants definitely offered a different experience!
I was a bit like had enough stinky tofu reaction videos honestly, but this one is probably the most interesting and dedicated stinky tofu reaction I've ever seen so far lol. Stinky tofu probably just like blue cheese or Vegemite (in Australia) which needs to be eaten with companions (food companions? for example sauce, pickle etc), otherwise the tofu itself would be stinky and boring. (But I already saw many people mentioned this below so...) By the way about durian, I can only tolerate frozen durian lol Thank you for making all the well edited high quality videos, hope you had some fun time in Taiwan. Nothing better than getting home, take care and good luck on your trip.
Hahaha I am glad you enjoyed it! We definitely do try to give everything a try! I think it is definitely acquired or regional thing. Not huge fans of blue cheese either, but we both actually enjoy vegemite!! I hate Durian! But Alan loves it! I would be interested to try the frozen version though., Thanks so much for watching, it means a lot that you have enjoyed the video! :D
One ingredient that makes braised pork rice and soup dumplings so delicious yet few people mentioned is the pork. We have very high quality and locally raised, fresh pork here in Taiwan. 😊
Another great video! For stinky tofu I would recommend you to dip it in the garlic soy sauce then dip in the mild hot sauce and eat it with some Taiwanese pickled lettuce (kimchi) for first timers. Would definitely recommend trying a smaller bite as well.
hello from sd 😊 i started watching your channel when i was doing my research for my japan 🇯🇵 trip this fall. your nara video was one of the first ones i watch. that city was not in plans but thanks to you guys it turned into a day trip from kyoto. it was really helpful and entertaining along with the rest of the japan vlogs. are you guys planning to travel more this year?
Hello!! That’s awesome, we are currently in SD!! 😃 so happy to hear you enjoyed the Japan videos! It is so beautiful that time of year. I hope you had an amazing trip! We’re hoping to get back on the road as soon as we can! We unfortunately have a sick family member right now, so it’s important to be back for them. But we do fully intend to get back out there when we can! Lots of world left to see! :)
Hahahah I was dying when he said that too!! Thanks so much for watching - and hello for the first time! :D Thanks for commenting! It's always cool to see who follows along!!
@@IfWeGoTo yes, and if I said so, you might want to try again. Most people will tell you to eat it the right way. Eat it with the cabbage together. The issue is the name and your mind. The more you eat you will like it more . Dare to try again? If it is not good, there won't have the line .
My husband is Australian. He has lived in Taiwan for five years. In the last year, after he ate stinky tofu, he fell in love with stinky tofu. Many people have the wrong method when they eat stinky tofu for the first time. Dip enough sauce and eat it with kimchi. Only in this way will it be delicious. What's more important is to choose the right delicious stinky tofu shop.
@@IfWeGoTo my friend Sergio (also fromPDC) sent your videos long ago. I have been watching your videos for months… long before the 20k followers. But guess I was always shy to say hi. My favorite video is the one in Merida Yucatán, even tho I dislike that city. Watching your reactions to our Mexican food 👏 LOL I’m ok, not having that much fun as you guys. Keep doing videos!! 👏 you guys are doing this videos as PROS 11000% and if you ever want a tour of Mexico City, you’ll have me and Hector as your guides.
Very true!! You never know until you try something!! 😂 Our friends seemed to like it, so we gave it a shot! But you are right, Taiwan has a LOT of not stinky, delicious food to offer!! 😂
So sorry you had to put yourself through with this too... 🤮 We can't wait to visit Taiwan but I don't think that we will be able to try Stinky tofu ever again... 🤮 haha great video guys!
We weren’t going to after smelling it the first time… but our friends were like “noooo you’ve got to! It tastes so good!! Smells terrible, but tastes great!” No no no no no!! It’s funny that we had stinky tofu videos planned right at the same time!! 😆 I don’t know if I can recommend it for anything other than the experience.. and you guys already experienced it so!!! 😂
@@IfWeGoTo was 2020 , got off the train early , wanted to look at the bowling ally, just walked from there . Not a fan of walking . Took a pic of the market sign . While quiet, was cool . Main trade was on the main street . Alleys , quiet . Am a sucker for street food .
Lol you guys legit look like about to throw up and you keep going back at it. Respect 😂 At least you went with the fried ones first. The steamed ones are even more pungent!
Hahaha, I don't know if it is true, but they say it gets better with time... definitely not true for us! I am glad we did not go for the steamed kind then!! lol
LOL, the ST face :-D Hey it's a rite of passage when in Taiwan, so get used to it (it gets better). Thank God I grew up on these in Taiwan so I don't even think about it. Have fun, you two are great. Love your channel.
I don’t think it tastes as bad as it smells but I also don’t get the point of it haha. Like the tofu taste isn’t bad but the aftertaste lingers and tastes like how it smells. So why not just have regular tofu with the toppings and sauce I like how in depth your videos are! You two put a lot of work into them and I appreciate it. Your pronunciation isn’t always the greatest but it’s ok. Tones are hard! I would suggest if you can look up the Chinese name and copy and paste it into google translate, you can use the audio feature to hear the pronunciation. Or ask shopkeepers for the name I’m slowly working my way through your taiwan videos!
Hahaha yeah, we agree with that! Tofu is good.. stinky tofu... is stinky!! lol Thank you very much for watching and enjoying. It means a lot to hear that you are! And yes, we really struggle with a lot of the Asian languages! They are just very different!! It's a good idea to ask locals! Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment!!
Next time you have fresh tomatoes, cut one up and sprinkle some sugar over it! It's actually really delicious, like "drink all the leftover juice" delicious!
When thinking of stinky tofu, think "a dog's bark is worse than it's bite". The "stinky" aspect is more mental than fact. Fried and with the right sauce, it's actually pretty good, a slight sweetness, and only with an almost imperceptible smell. Steamed stinky tofu has a sour taste with only a slight smell. Go with the fried version. The facial expressions were hilarious.
I remember my night market experience in Taiwan like it was yesterday. Full of smells and surprises. Stinky tofu was probably 50% of them 🤣 我對台灣夜市的經歷記憶猶新。 充滿氣味和驚喜。 臭豆腐大概佔了50%🤣
Candied tomato is worth a try. It often comes with a piece of pickled plum. a pickled plum pairs with a tomato. So it is candy tomato with the sour flavor from pickled plum. 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 Shop matters, there are good stinky tofu shops and mehhh stinky tofu shops. So find one with good review would be a good choice to make. 😄 They are all stinky though. Just there are more delicious shops and not so delicious shops to the locals. Like any other foods. A thin crispy layer of crust, just the right amount of scent, and delicious sauce injected into every piece of tofu, and crunchy pickles on the side. That is a good stinky tofu set.
You guys are definitely brave to try the stinky tofu!! I just wanted to point out that, based on the video, I think you guys got the plain stinky tofu? I would suggest eating the fried stinky tofu with Taiwanese kimchi and hot sauce on it. That will definitely help take the edge off. I would also recommend the steamed stinky tofu from Acheng Goose in Taipei or 江豪記 in Kaohsiung with minced pork on it. Please let me know if you get to try those! Would love to hear your thoughts.
Yes, I do think we had it pretty much plain! It had some sauce, but not a lot. Next time we visit we will have to take your advice on where to try it!! Thank you!! :D
The reaction of foreign youtubers eating stinky tofu is hilarious. It's nowhere near as bad as it is ever made out to be and tastes great. Yeah it stinks, but so do things like blue cheese and that is mega too.
@@IfWeGoTo been here 13 years and ate it the whole time here. Tastes nothing like it smells for me, but I understand everyone has a different taste. I love it. If you really want to try something truly minging eat bitter melon here then you will know something truly rank.
Whoever told you stinky tofu is the best thing ever was messing with you or trying to convince you. I grew up on it and I'm a fan, but it's just FINE. I don't know anyone whose life would be devoid of all meaning and joy if they could never have stinky tofu again. It's just crunchy and savory - you don't even taste the funk if you're used to it.
A tomato is added at the bottom because it’s firmer than strawberry so it acts as the anchor to prevent strawberries from sliding down the skewer, so they said. Well, fermented tofu is not for everybody, but I guess it’s ingrained in most Taiwanese people’s DNA so it’s not stinky to me at all. But to be fair, I don”t understand the popularity of Japanese nattos, southeast Asian durians, and the blue cheese in the West either😂.
Ahh thank you! And it must be a genetic or acquired thing!! Haven't tried Natto yet, hated Durian (Alan loved it though!!), and blue cheese... meh, it can be OK in some dishes, but generally don't like it!
Most people don't know that stinky tofu is actually a relatively recent invention from 1987 by a Taiwanese street food vendor named Kai Wan-Xiao, he and a bunch of other vendors got really drunk one night and thought it would be hilarious to prank foreign travelers so they created the foulest, most offensive tofu dish they could come up with and launched a nationwide grassroots campaign to get the whole country in on the joke so everyone would pretend to actually like it and silly foreigners would take the bait. (Ok I made that all up, put Kai Wan-Xiao into Google Translate 😂) Seriously though, as a Taiwanese-American I have tried so hard to like stinky tofu so I can do right by my Taiwanese heritage, but I just can't do it. I'm usually so receptive to weird foods and I've eaten a lot of unusual stuff (snake, shark, gator, chicken feet, live shrimp, and I LOVE century eggs) but I just cannot get past the overpowering awfulness of stinky tofu. Maybe one day...
Hahahaha - if you told me that, I would have believed it!! I see what you did there.. Kai Wan-Xiao 😂 Learning a little more Chinese every day! Hahaha hey I give you props for trying it! I (Brandi) have Filipino heritage.. so the Philippines was the first place I ever went... and told my self, "Oh yes, I am *definitely* going to try balut!!". After seeing it I could NOT! lol. Maybe now that I have traveled quite a bit more I could.. but it was too intimidating. I have heard century eggs are pretty gnarly!! What was that like?? Idk.. maybe stinky tofu just is not meant to be enjoyed by everyone. lol
@@IfWeGoTo Oh boy balut...thats on my list of things to try but that's another one that scares me! Century eggs are actually delicious, a little sulfuric but very savory and umami. If you can get past the appearance and texture you might like them! But I totally get why most people don't...they look terrifying lol.
Hahaha there are quite a few interesting foods out in the world!! In Thailand we ate scorpion and live shrimp.. so I just wonder if I could stomach it now! What is the texture of the egg like??
Ahahaha your reactions to the stinky tofu were so funny. Seems like hit or miss. I was born without a sense of smell so I have no idea and will probably never know what you guys are sensing. I wonder if you guys ate the right ones or if it would be any different eaten in instead of take out
Awesome video! What you wouldn't sacrifice for your art. Stinky tofu strikes again. Perhaps next time try the tofu with some soy garlic sauce and chili sauce. Depending on its potency(pungency), eating the tofu bare can be daunting, especially for 1st time try. Next stop, century old egg 皮蛋. Please don't eat that by itself. Try century old egg with tofu, pork floss and soy sauce glaze 皮蛋豆腐.
Thank you!! If we give stinky tofu another go - we will definitely try it with toppings as you recommended!! Century egg... I don't know if we're brave enough yet!! hahaha
I think you guys picked a particularly subpar stinky tofu stand. Usually they come in larger pieces with a hole in the middle which you stuff kimchi, soy sauce and garlic inside. Although I can totally imagine for most visitors no stinky tofu would be palatable.
Ohh that is too bad we did not pick a good one... well if we are every brave enough to try it again we will definitely look for a better one or seek local advice! hahaha.
Stinky tofu is not for beginners😂. Either you hate it or love it. There is no in between. Some hate it so much at first but as they grow order they can handle that fermented smell
it's actually juz fermented vegetable & d ones u had is notin coz it's still white. if u go search a bit into d farming of it u will see that d water is grey in color ^~^ They also have it fried with durian filling & serve with a side(century egg) #SmellyBeancurd4Life
Ha ha, It's so interesting you said " I'll still kiss you later." BTW, I don't have had stinky tofu until I am 30, I believe it's not the tranditional Taiwanese food, my 84-years-old dad never has it, and refuses to try it.😂😂😂
You must eat together with the sour lettuce that included. It's will reduce the stinky smell and it's taste better. At least you must try several times, After several tried, you will love it
@@IfWeGoTo Impressed! 👋😁👍 You guys actually ate it instead of spitting it out like most if not all TH-camrs that try it & your Husband actually ate 3 or 4 🤔😳🤣🤭
Great video! I really couldn't get myself to eat the stinky tofu. The smell was just so awful, and after watching this video, I'm glad I did not try it, haha.
Hahaha, it was an experience to say the least - and perhaps one we could have done without! Hope you enjoyed your trip even though stinky tofu was a no go! lol
Who do you think had the best stinky tofu face? 😂
嘗試臭豆腐的同時，你覺得誰的臉更好看呢？ 😂
封面看起來~兩位都面有難色😛😝
你們兩個都太可愛了XDD
so funny to watch your stinky tofu faces... 🤣
咀嚼炸臭豆腐,當它碎裂閉上嘴巴. 讓肺部的空氣從嘴巴反流出鼻腔.
Alan is the winner :P He seems almost throw up.. Stinky tofu is my must eat when I back to Taiwan. Go stinky tofu!
年少時覺得好臭好臭不敢吃
但成年之後臭豆腐變成了最愛❤
每當路過聞到那股臭味，忍不住就想吃一盤 😂😂😂
大蒜醬汁+泡菜+辣椒=美味
而發酵後的豆腐中的酵母菌有益腸胃功能喔！

味道非常濃烈！我很高興你喜歡它--還有更多的東西供你吃！哈哈哈

😂😂😂 stinky tofu definitely is one of your unforgettable memories
Certainly! It will not be forgotten!! hahaha
再試一次 要沾醬跟泡菜一起吃
下次我們需要添加配料！
Next time you have fresh tomatoes, cut one up and sprinkle some sugar over it! It's actually really delicious, like "drink all the leftover juice" delicious!
Woah I would not have thought of that combination! Maybe one day we’ll be brave enough to try it! 😂
It's actually pretty popular in South Korea!
Ohh would love to go there and try to foods too!!
When thinking of stinky tofu, think "a dog's bark is worse than it's bite". The "stinky" aspect is more mental than fact. Fried and with the right sauce, it's actually pretty good, a slight sweetness, and only with an almost imperceptible smell. Steamed stinky tofu has a sour taste with only a slight smell. Go with the fried version. The facial expressions were hilarious.
I think we may need to give it another chance, but head to a proper spot for it!!
台灣熱炒才是最棒的。
太好了！
臭豆腐要配台式泡菜吃啦~~~!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂
下次我們肯定需要這樣嘗試！謝謝你的提示！
I love it with pickled vegetables.
Hahaha more for you!!
臭豆腐是用Amaranth經過9個月的發酵液浸泡一天而成的,最主要是嗅覺得臭味,口感沒那不好聞的味道,吃的時候不要呼吸就沒臭味
哦，謝謝你分享這個！我們不知道這種液體的名稱。
I remember my night market experience in Taiwan like it was yesterday. Full of smells and surprises. Stinky tofu was probably 50% of them 🤣
我對台灣夜市的經歷記憶猶新。 充滿氣味和驚喜。 臭豆腐大概佔了50%🤣
Oh yes… it had nooo shortage of those! Stinky tofu definitely caught us by surprise, our friends had us CONVINCED it was delicious!
Did you enjoy it!?
Hahaha😂. U guys are so funny
Thank you!! 😂
Candied tomato is worth a try. It often comes with a piece of pickled plum. a pickled plum pairs with a tomato. So it is candy tomato with the sour flavor from pickled plum. 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Shop matters, there are good stinky tofu shops and mehhh stinky tofu shops. So find one with good review would be a good choice to make. 😄 They are all stinky though. Just there are more delicious shops and not so delicious shops to the locals. Like any other foods.
A thin crispy layer of crust, just the right amount of scent, and delicious sauce injected into every piece of tofu, and crunchy pickles on the side. That is a good stinky tofu set.
Ohh I guess next time we will need to try that!
Next time we will have to do some research before we take on stinky tofu! lol
炸的臭豆腐要現場吃，外帶皮就不會酥脆了，而且要跟泡菜、醬料一起吃，不敢吃的人不要單獨吃豆腐。再來最好找臭豆腐是中間挖洞那種，可以塞泡菜跟醬汁，切成小塊小塊的那種臭豆腐比較不好吃。
感謝您的建議！下次我們肯定需要嘗試一下配料！
真正的臭豆腐吃法 是一整塊正方型的炸好後中間戳一個洞在洞裡放入特調醬跟蒜泥再加泡菜一起吃 臭豆腐切成四塊的吃法吃不到臭豆腐的美味
感谢您的小费！也许下次我们可以好好准备一下……如果我们能再次鼓起力量的话！！哈哈哈
看了這麼多的外國人試吃臭豆腐 通常愈害怕的人 都只單吃臭豆腐(有的只吃一小口) 得到的結果是如他們設想的恐怖與噁心 不怕的人 大部分會很聰明的搭配醬汁和泡菜一起吃(不然店家附上醬汁和泡菜是附辛酸的喔 當然就是要一起吃 尤其對於害怕的人 更要一起吃才對) 加上醬汁和泡菜這種方式試吃的 有很多會覺得好吃(至少會少些原先以為的感受) 對於第一次嘗試新食物(尤其是害怕的食物) 正確的吃法很重要 第一次的感受 會決定他的喜惡及是否再次品嘗 另外 覺得很好笑的是 已經很害怕了 怎麼還先去聞它 讓自己更害怕品嘗這食物!? 還是要更確立這食物如自己所設想的那樣恐怖? 拿掉預設立場 或許得到的經驗會不同~
謝謝您的推薦！！當我們再次嘗試臭豆腐時，我們需要添加配料！
碳烤臭豆腐比較好吃可以嘗試看看還有台灣牛排。石頭火鍋和鴛鴦鍋
哦，聽起來很有趣！謝謝你！
You guys are definitely brave to try the stinky tofu!! I just wanted to point out that, based on the video, I think you guys got the plain stinky tofu? I would suggest eating the fried stinky tofu with Taiwanese kimchi and hot sauce on it. That will definitely help take the edge off.
I would also recommend the steamed stinky tofu from Acheng Goose in Taipei or 江豪記 in Kaohsiung with minced pork on it. Please let me know if you get to try those! Would love to hear your thoughts.
Yes, I do think we had it pretty much plain! It had some sauce, but not a lot. Next time we visit we will have to take your advice on where to try it!! Thank you!! :D
臭豆腐的靈魂在醬汁,建議咬一個缺口(為了吸取醬汁)再壓到調料中吸取醬汁這樣才好吃.
下次我們需要嘗試用更好的醬汁！
you are braver than you believe.
Support you. 🎉🎉
Hahaha, Thank you!! And thank you for the support!! :D
The reaction of foreign youtubers eating stinky tofu is hilarious. It's nowhere near as bad as it is ever made out to be and tastes great. Yeah it stinks, but so do things like blue cheese and that is mega too.
Idk man.. we’ve tried a LOT of food… and stinky tofu was not it for us!! 😂 it must be acquired or genetic or something!
It tastes as bad as it smells, I've tried it on and off for over ten years and I completely disagree with you
Hahaha it does taste much like the smell!! I would give it one more chance with toppings, but I just don't know if it will grow on us!
@@IfWeGoTo been here 13 years and ate it the whole time here. Tastes nothing like it smells for me, but I understand everyone has a different taste. I love it. If you really want to try something truly minging eat bitter melon here then you will know something truly rank.
We are going to taipei in Dec,Which district do you recommend to stay? Thanks
Hi!! I think I would try to pick a central district for your visit - one that has easy access to multiple train lines, like Xinyi or Zhongzheng :)
@@IfWeGoTo Thanks we chose Zhongshan which is central 🙂
Whoever told you stinky tofu is the best thing ever was messing with you or trying to convince you. I grew up on it and I'm a fan, but it's just FINE. I don't know anyone whose life would be devoid of all meaning and joy if they could never have stinky tofu again. It's just crunchy and savory - you don't even taste the funk if you're used to it.
Hahaha we definitely think it may be some elaborate joke!! More for the people who like it I guess!
🤣 when I first read the title I thought it said “stinky toe”
Note to self: 3rd time is not a charm!!!
Hahaha it might as well have been!!
I don't know if our opinions will change!! hahaha. How have you been???
A tomato is added at the bottom because it’s firmer than strawberry so it acts as the anchor to prevent strawberries from sliding down the skewer, so they said.
Well, fermented tofu is not for everybody, but I guess it’s ingrained in most Taiwanese people’s DNA so it’s not stinky to me at all. But to be fair, I don”t understand the popularity of Japanese nattos, southeast Asian durians, and the blue cheese in the West either😂.
Ahh thank you! And it must be a genetic or acquired thing!! Haven't tried Natto yet, hated Durian (Alan loved it though!!), and blue cheese... meh, it can be OK in some dishes, but generally don't like it!
15:07 omg should've puta pic of old Mitch up 😂😂
Missed opportunity for sure lol
Most people don't know that stinky tofu is actually a relatively recent invention from 1987 by a Taiwanese street food vendor named Kai Wan-Xiao, he and a bunch of other vendors got really drunk one night and thought it would be hilarious to prank foreign travelers so they created the foulest, most offensive tofu dish they could come up with and launched a nationwide grassroots campaign to get the whole country in on the joke so everyone would pretend to actually like it and silly foreigners would take the bait.
(Ok I made that all up, put Kai Wan-Xiao into Google Translate 😂)
Seriously though, as a Taiwanese-American I have tried so hard to like stinky tofu so I can do right by my Taiwanese heritage, but I just can't do it. I'm usually so receptive to weird foods and I've eaten a lot of unusual stuff (snake, shark, gator, chicken feet, live shrimp, and I LOVE century eggs) but I just cannot get past the overpowering awfulness of stinky tofu. Maybe one day...
Hahahaha - if you told me that, I would have believed it!!
I see what you did there.. Kai Wan-Xiao 😂
Learning a little more Chinese every day!
Hahaha hey I give you props for trying it! I (Brandi) have Filipino heritage.. so the Philippines was the first place I ever went... and told my self, "Oh yes, I am *definitely* going to try balut!!". After seeing it I could NOT! lol. Maybe now that I have traveled quite a bit more I could.. but it was too intimidating.
I have heard century eggs are pretty gnarly!! What was that like??
Idk.. maybe stinky tofu just is not meant to be enjoyed by everyone. lol
@@IfWeGoTo Oh boy balut...thats on my list of things to try but that's another one that scares me!
Century eggs are actually delicious, a little sulfuric but very savory and umami. If you can get past the appearance and texture you might like them! But I totally get why most people don't...they look terrifying lol.
Hahaha there are quite a few interesting foods out in the world!! In Thailand we ate scorpion and live shrimp.. so I just wonder if I could stomach it now!
What is the texture of the egg like??
Got to eat with the sweet and sour cabbage . Or spicy sauces.
If we can muster up the strength to take on stinky tofu again, we will be sure to take your advice!! 😅
Ahahaha your reactions to the stinky tofu were so funny. Seems like hit or miss. I was born without a sense of smell so I have no idea and will probably never know what you guys are sensing.
I wonder if you guys ate the right ones or if it would be any different eaten in instead of take out
I mea the texture was good! Maybe you would still enjoy that??
We'll have to try it again one day.. will need a local to show us a good spot!
Awesome video! What you wouldn't sacrifice for your art. Stinky tofu strikes again. Perhaps next time try the tofu with some soy garlic sauce and chili sauce. Depending on its potency(pungency), eating the tofu bare can be daunting, especially for 1st time try. Next stop, century old egg 皮蛋. Please don't eat that by itself. Try century old egg with tofu, pork floss and soy sauce glaze 皮蛋豆腐.
Thank you!! If we give stinky tofu another go - we will definitely try it with toppings as you recommended!!
Century egg... I don't know if we're brave enough yet!! hahaha
Pls visit 基隆keelung . We have the most famous local street food
We did not make it there this time, but would love to visit on our next trip to Taiwan! :D
吃臭豆腐要趁熱酥酥的就是馬上吃才好吃！
如果我們再嘗試一次，我們將需要在攤位上嘗試一下！謝謝你的提示！！
臭豆腐要吸醬汁配泡菜吃歐，比較少人只吃乾的炸臭豆腐😂 吃起來味道差很多歐
下次我們需要添加正確的配料！謝謝你！
I think you guys picked a particularly subpar stinky tofu stand. Usually they come in larger pieces with a hole in the middle which you stuff kimchi, soy sauce and garlic inside. Although I can totally imagine for most visitors no stinky tofu would be palatable.
Ohh that is too bad we did not pick a good one... well if we are every brave enough to try it again we will definitely look for a better one or seek local advice! hahaha.
歡迎來士林夜市🎉🎊小籠包比臭豆腐容易接受和好吃👍😋！
谢谢你！是的，我们绝对更喜欢小笼包！😆
@@IfWeGoTo 是的！小籠包是大眾口味，幾乎任何人都會喜歡（除了不吃豬肉的人）
是的，我想任何喜歡豬肉或肉製品的人都會喜歡它！這是一個偉大的簡單的味道！
Stinky tofu is not for beginners😂. Either you hate it or love it. There is no in between. Some hate it so much at first but as they grow order they can handle that fermented smell
it's actually juz fermented vegetable & d ones u had is notin coz it's still white.
if u go search a bit into d farming of it u will see that d water is grey in color ^~^
They also have it fried with durian filling & serve with a side(century egg)
#SmellyBeancurd4Life
Oh that is good to know, next time we will have to go to a better spot… maybe 🤣
Durian filling and century egg would be interesting to try!!!
臭豆腐是很奇妙的食物，就算生活在台灣三十多年，無法接受臭豆腐的台灣人依然有，但台灣各地的臭豆腐的味道還不大相同，台北市內的還沒那麼強，但台北以外的臭豆腐，真的很強烈的味道。 呃.....還有用樹豆子煮的臭豆腐也有麻辣版本....，下次你們有勇氣的時候可以再試試看吧！
哦，是的，這絕對是後天的品味！哈哈哈。也許我們會勇敢地再嘗試一次！
Ha ha, It's so interesting you said " I'll still kiss you later."
BTW, I don't have had stinky tofu until I am 30, I believe it's not the tranditional Taiwanese food, my 84-years-old dad never has it, and refuses to try it.😂😂😂
Hahaha, true love right...
It is a very intense experience, I do not blame your dad!
在台北市你可以Google 小籠包，你會發現有更多美味的小籠包店家。
什麼是你最喜歡的？？
湯包洪 TANG BAO HUNG, 很好吃😋，你們可以去試看看，在台北市
16:46 ahaha another subway joke ;)
Oh Alan and his subway jokes..
You must eat together with the sour lettuce that included. It's will reduce the stinky smell and it's taste better. At least you must try several times, After several tried, you will love it
Thank you for the tips!!
Stinky tofu, it's so bad, it's so GOOD!
Hahaha more for you!
表情好好笑喔．．．．
不過大部分外國人都很不習慣臭豆腐．．．
我覺得油炸臭豆腐算是很好吃的了
哈哈哈，謝謝你，很高興這很有趣！
我也很高興你喜歡臭豆腐--更適合你！！ :D
Anxiously waiting to see you guys try STINKY TOFU 🤭 🤣 😆 🤮
Not bad, you guys actually ate it & didn't spit it out like all TH-camrs I've seen try it 🤣 😆 👏 😁 🤟
Hahaha, we had to give it a genuine try! Our friends love it!
@@IfWeGoTo Impressed! 👋😁👍
You guys actually ate it instead of spitting it out like most if not all TH-camrs that try it & your Husband actually ate 3 or 4 🤔😳🤣🤭
I think he is secretly in love with the Stinky Tofu! Why else would he try them so many times?
Hahahahah that IS a good point!! 😂
You’re supposed to eat it with the kimchi 😂
Hahaha next time we will need to try that… if we can muster up the strength! 😂
Five times is a full treatment!
I guess that means we'll have to give it another try!
有嘗試過總是好的~~
同意！
You guys should try KFC or McDonald's in Asia. I think they're way better than the States
Ohh that's an idea! I think it would be interesting to try some of the regional specials!
Did you guys bing chilling? Lol
Bing chilling???
我很愛吃臭豆腐，可能是因為從小吃到大的關係吧！
哈哈，還有臭豆腐給你吃！
😂😂😂😂 鄭成功用臭豆腐應該可以嚇跑荷蘭人😂😂😂
我覺得臭豆腐的威力足以嚇跑很多人了！哈哈哈
So beautiful stay safe
Thank you friend! You do the same!!
@@IfWeGoTo your welcome friend thank you
Usually they serve the stinky tofu with Taiwanese kimchi, try eating it together, should help with the overall taste.
Maybe we’ll have to give it a go another time 😂
@IfWeGoTo you guys should, if it still doesnt taste better, go with the saying what doesnt kill you, makes you stronger 😁
They say to try everything twice right? hahaha
It is made by fermented vegetable,not the shrimp something.
Oh got it!! Thank you!!
They should outlaw stinky tofu at open market.
Hahaha I may be in agreement of this 😂
Wow yummy yummy
More for you! 😆
Genuine question, Does anyone know if it's safe to visit Taiwan right now due the conflict with China?
Hi, we felt safe while visiting. As visitors you could feel some of the tensions are present, but it felt very normal.
Great video! I really couldn't get myself to eat the stinky tofu. The smell was just so awful, and after watching this video, I'm glad I did not try it, haha.
Hahaha, it was an experience to say the least - and perhaps one we could have done without! Hope you enjoyed your trip even though stinky tofu was a no go! lol
臭豆腐聞起來很臭
我吃起來很香😂
哈哈哈，還給你更多！！
