5:36 love it when u and the uncle behind u bit into the rice wrap just around the same time. And then his reaction 5:44.... Ha!!! This is a breakfast I can eat every single day! Super jelly!
Whenever I go back to Taiwan, I love visiting this place! My favorite is the cold rice milk and the fried dough with egg and bun. Ugh, love it. And man, got to give props to those employees. Working at a 24 hour restaurant is hard!
Actually the most traditional breakfast varies with locations. This video covered a general kind of breakfast everywhere in Taiwan. but if you want to try different breakfast, go south. Like Middle of Taiwan eat fried noodle as breakfast South taiwan eat Beef Broth Soup and lots of awesome seafood stuff.
You are right by my hometown! I grew up in 永和市! I love Taiwanese breakfast!! I so miss it since I left. I haven't found an authentic Taiwanese breakfast place in the U.S. I loved drinking sweet soy milk cold especially during a hot humid day. The Chinese Fried Dough (doughnut) is soooo good!! I remember bringing a Savory Rice Role to school for breakfast/lunch. It was the best! You have to have Chinese Fried Dough in the Rice Roll!! 😄 Flakey Egg Pancake is awesome! Dough & Egg my favs!! I am so hungry now! I miss my hometown!!!
I went to this place every morning the last time I visited my family in Taiwan. My parents rented an AirBnB down the street from here. Every morning I would get a bowl of beef noodle soup, potstickers, and soup dumplings and cold soy milk. It costed me $5.00 USD.
You are making me homesick...That was my favorite breakfast place! I have one very special memory of spending the night on YangMing Shan with a friend to watch a meteor shower, then coming back and stopping there at dawn for an amazing breakfast... But you left out my particular favorite, the turnip cake! That is a uniquely Taiwanese dish, with its origins in the Portuguese colonization period.
I love your expressions! The way you explain the flavor profiles of each food you eat is incredible. Keep doing what you're doing, cuz I'll never unsubscribe😊😊
The “soup dumpling” that you ordered is actually not soup dumplings. In Taiwan there’s xiaolongbao and tangbao (literally translates to “soup” dumplings), two different things. The xiaolongbao is meant to be more doughy with less soup that you can eat on the go in baggies. I’ve had amazing xiaolongbao in Taiwan before. If you want to get a taste of actual soup dumplings in Taiwan, Ding Tai Feng is the place to be.
oh gosh yes, thank you for reminding me! I thought it looked familiar but couldn't quite place a finger on it. Yes, it's like khao lam, one of my favorite desserts I grew up eating. Didn't know they have it in other parts of SE Asia too!
Ichiran Raman noodle they have it in New York City, New York, USA if you still want to eat it yourself or with someone else. You should go try that place to see if the that place is as great as when you went to japan to try it there.
How have television agencies not caught on to your incredible work yet. I love learning about new foods through your channel. You even teach recipes! I made your char siu for a potluck with some friends. Anyway, another great vid. Keep it up!
I lived in Taiwan for nearly 6 years and I hardly ever cooked. Its so cheap to live there. You and your friends should have gotten a house there instead of San Francisco.
Not as much as South Korea and China. But if you live in the city you will experience pollution. I lived in a smaller city Taoyuan City in Taoyuan county. I never saw the smog clouds I experienced in Seoul Korea.
I don't think you mentioned the name of the "rice roll". It's 團飯. There's sweet version too. It has sweet peanut powder with other sweet things in it. A simple sweet roll but I like savory over sweet.😊
You explained everything so perfectly deliciously well! And you went to what I agree is the best Taiwanese breakfast place to go to in Taiwan and anywhere for that matter :). The only thing that I wish you tried was 蛋餅 which can only be found cooked like that there and a place I went to in LA. It's so crazy that they're busy at 6am already!
I liked the soup dumplings I had in Taiwan. One time was at Din tai fung. I know it's everywhere and probably overhyped but I liked it...and the spicy beef noodles they had there.
Jing Ren to me it looks sort of curdled like if saw milk like that over here it would instantly get thrown in the bin, so how is this different? just curious lol
I think it's the type of bacteria in it. Savory soy milk is fresh but it sort of separates and stuff because of its chemical reaction with the vinegar. They put vinegar in, along with pickled veggies also made with vinegar. That's what causes the texture. Soy milk that curdles results, don't quote me, but probably from some sort of bacteria colony and stuff, as with most food that start to go bad.
Just discovered your channel and cant stop watching! so interesting what you're testing out and also i like how happy good food makes you! great! all the best from berlin, germany :-)
Maybe it's cuz I'm Taiwanese, but I love soup dumplings doughy. Also, the fried dough. It's called 油条 right? I'm not an expert on food, but shouldn't a food with the word "oil" in it be oily? I like them light anyways, but I was always curious.
??? It is deep fried and the inside of the stick is almost airy that there isn't much surface area to absorb the oil. The outer layer is oiliest but they usually let it sit to drip oil off before serving and becomes hard and impenetrable. If u look inside one, maybe it makes more sense.
Yes it’s called 油條.... but I’m questioning the 條 part cuz that’s simplified Chinese and most people in Taiwan write in traditional.... just saying ...not trying to offend you or anything
@@jesswu6821 maybe they learned at a uni or high school? They only taught simplified and beijing-standard dialect when i learned chinese in uni. 繁體字 isn't really taught (my prof said "no one uses it anymore! 🙄 LIES) just learned 注音 🥲
Mike I gotta tell you if I didn't watch your videos about dimsum I don't know if i would have ever tried it! I live on Guam and I tried it at a restaurant here and it was life changing! Thank you! 🙌🏽 I'm going to HK in October and I'm definitely going to go to your recommended restaurants
Yes, egg pancake, rice ball, soy milk, and fried dough are in the Taiwanese breakfast cuisine, but it's not "traditional taiwanese". The way you're eating or being served is basically a "modern" northern taiwan breakfast brought from china after WWII. Thus a traditional chinese breakfast. A traditional taiwanese breakfast would be bawan, oyster vermicelli, wagui, gua bao, oyster omlette, fish/meat ball soup, mugwort dumpling etc., served not just with soymilk, but an option for rice milk, peanut milk, milk tea. Or, if it's fried dough, you would eat it with a crusty bread, and not put it in the soymilk. And you need to go eat in places where there are big hokkien and hakka communities in Taiwan, not just in a community influenced by the mainlanders. I know because I'm half minnan and hakka. My ancestors were from Taiwan since the 1600's.
Agreed. I personally like all kinds of Taiwanese breakfast, commercialized Taipei and otherwise, but there are definitely differences. My dad's side of the family is from Chiayi, and while not ethnically indigenous, they've definitely been in Taiwan since a long time, like before the 1900s. The breakfast there is definitely very different. But all good. It's all good to me.
This is my favorite video on TH-cam of your food tasting. I feel like u edited it or sped it up somehow from the last time I saw it. I miss the pacing oh well. Still so terrific you and the awesome yum factor Thanks Mikey
In the savory version of the soy milk, they normally add some vinegar and pickled vegetables so the acidity of those two things causes the soy milk to coagulate and thats why it's chunky unlike the sweet kind, which is more smooth.
Mike... you might need to consider censoring or blurring the people in the background out of the shoot, the girl in the back at 5:54 was abused by her father and the man behind you doesn't look like he wants to be filmed.
I love your enthusiasm for food. I would enjoy a food tour with you as the guide. I have learned to look at meal time, no matter the time of day, as a chance for a new experience. Like your savory tofu milk. One thing I have not seen you try is seaweed salad. As much as you like pickled vegetables, that might be something to show the viewers.
Wait dude, have you never been to Ding Tai Feng in Taipei? Go to the original near Yong Kang Street! They're the most famous soup dumpling place and they have the thinnest dumpling skin but it doesn't break. It's the only place I go to eat soup dumplings and is the first place I think about when people say Taiwanese soup dumpling! Also where do you go in New York to eat soup dumpling with thin skin? I've been scared to try any place because Ding Tai Feng is so good, my expectations are too high. Someone took me to Joe's Shanghai and the skin on THOSE are thick! I haven't wanted to try any places here for fear I'll get let down, but if you know a place with thin skin soup dumplings I wanna go.
Love your other channel so I came over and started watching yours. And omg, I get hungry all the time I see yo your videos and it makes me crave Asian food(absolutely love barbecued squid). Love you and your videos so keep on keeping on :)
I use soy milk because I'm allergic to animal milks, but the texture of the savoury hot soy milk nope, couldn't do it . It looked like curdled cow milk, don't think I could be convinced lol but the Chinese bread stick things look yum. .
Sweet Peas If you live in the West, the soy milk you are drinking is absolutely different from the East soy milk. So...it is understandable for a savory soy milk cause it is just like having more liquidity tofu dish
Haha that place is near my grandparents place, i used to visit when I go back. Man those rice balls (Or rice wraps as you called them) are definitely the thing i miss the most
I don't care for American Chinese food so I kinda stayed away from Asian food, but always watching you and Dan talk about Asian foods makes me want to try it all! I love that I found this channel along with your other one!
Chinese American communities are trying to bring that stuff over here, so don't fret, it'll come eventually. When you're in China long enough, sometimes you miss not having the many things that America has (Latino food, other European cuisines, even chili dogs). The grass is always greener on the other side.
You gotta know where to look. A lot of these types of places are small, and unadvertised so you gotta have friends that will take you there. I live here in the States (Colorado), and there's two places that are extremely good but my friends have never heard of them and we've all lived here all our lives. I promised to take them one day. So go find an Asian friend, lol.
Pythia Sibyls as an Asian, I love eating other food but TBH Asian food is always my favorite from every Asian country. When I eat American food or Latin .. even European is heavy feeling and it's always high in calorie and I always feel fatigued after or I feel like I'm gonna get more obese or have diabetes Bc everything is either too salty or sweet. Be when I eat Asian food I'm full for a cheap price and I go about my day without feeling sluggish! One of my close friends is Haitian and he literally eats only Asian food lol and it's not Bc of me
I don’t think she’s Taiwanese...she looks like somebody works in Taiwan but came from one of other south east countries...which is not cool to abuse her like that way, not cool
You just brought back some wonderful memories for me! Ate breakfast at that very same restaurant many times. The best memory was when a friend and I that both lived in YungHo went up Yang Ming Shan to watch a meteor shower, and got back to town right around dawn, absolutely starving. Everything looked (and smelled) so good, we were tempted to order the whole menu! Did you try the chive buns? One of my favorites. Gah, now I'm getting homesick for Taiwan again...
I went to this place because of the video. I had the sweet soymilk, dough stick, and soup dumplings. The soup dumplings actually had quite a bit of soup. Everything was good!
typical mike reaction to tasty food:
1) close eyes;
2) open eyes widely;
3) look to the right while shaking his head
His facial expressions are funny and CUTE!
sometimes it looks like he is briefly in pain or negatively shocked, it's kinda funny
4) finish with a grunt. "Uggghhhh!" Or "mmmm!"
5) put some hot oil in and repeat steps 1-4
xD
XXDDDDDDXDDXXddxxddxdxxdxxdDDDDDDDDD
5:36 love it when u and the uncle behind u bit into the rice wrap just around the same time. And then his reaction 5:44.... Ha!!! This is a breakfast I can eat every single day! Super jelly!
mmmmm....jelly.....
i noticed that also....haha lol
I'm listening to Mike but I'm also watching the guy at the back Eating 😀😂
yeah he looks nervous
He looks like such a great old man it's great haha!
He looked hungry!
exactly!😂
he was watching and judging Mike and camera crew for sure lol
strictly dumpling? more like strictly hot oil
James Wentworth true but he bleeds hot chilli oil
😂
Strictly no broccoli lol !
😂😂😂
Omg, I've been to that place. Sat at the same table lol. My hotel was across the street from it. Ordered the same stuff too lol.
lol coincidence?
+Strictly Dumpling its fate 😉
Now kiss
seeeecret looovers
youre basically famous
Whenever I go back to Taiwan, I love visiting this place! My favorite is the cold rice milk and the fried dough with egg and bun. Ugh, love it. And man, got to give props to those employees. Working at a 24 hour restaurant is hard!
5:54 Did he just bop his daughter's head lol
it looked like it haha
lol fucking hawk eye :)
I laughed at that part
he never touched her head..
ahahah mfao
Actually the most traditional breakfast varies with locations.
This video covered a general kind of breakfast everywhere in Taiwan.
but if you want to try different breakfast, go south.
Like Middle of Taiwan eat fried noodle as breakfast
South taiwan eat Beef Broth Soup and lots of awesome seafood stuff.
the guy behind him is like "aiyah what is that crazy lao wai talking about???"
Lmao I imagined this in a super Asian accent and it was the perfect joke
philerupper not they do sometimes it’s different in different places
Uggh. Mike makes me want to go to Taiwan just for the food. Everything looked sooo good!
Trust me.... it’s 100% worth it. Everything I go back to Taiwan I look forward to the food
You are right by my hometown! I grew up in 永和市! I love Taiwanese breakfast!! I so miss it since I left.

I looove the moment when he realizes that something is yummy, it's so satisfying to see how he enjoys every bite ^^
I went to this place every morning the last time I visited my family in Taiwan. My parents rented an AirBnB down the street from here.
Every morning I would get a bowl of beef noodle soup, potstickers, and soup dumplings and cold soy milk. It costed me $5.00 USD.
I was a student there in 1975. This brings back fond memories.
Very instructive video, he takes us right to the breakfast stand a world away...
I totally love your excitement and the way you enjoy your meal... the air is cleaner, the sky is brighter....you made ME want some!
5:54 did that girl get whacked on the head?! What did she say to anger her dad like that?
"but FATHER, i want Oreo for breakfast"
bottom of a closed fist, she had to have done something pretty bad
My grandfather used to do that to me with his knuckle 😂
Veronica Rodriguez mind if i do that to you? ;P
Eh nothing that weird, it's different when someone gets slapped tho
As a Taiwanese I can confirm this place is amazing haha
Audrey Tseng Lucky you🤗
"I’m not going to try everything on the menu."
Proceeds to try almost everything 😂
I want it all.
or nothing at all...♪ ♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪ ♫
to be fair, i'd take even just some of it
I guess nobody got the backstreet boys drift.
I love watching you eat, it's a joyful thing! Thank you for sharing your trip with us. :)
You are making me homesick...That was my favorite breakfast place! I have one very special memory of spending the night on YangMing Shan with a friend to watch a meteor shower, then coming back and stopping there at dawn for an amazing breakfast...

Yass!!! We've eaten there!! SO GOOD :) We're gonna be back in a few weeks. Can't wait!
Just how some people carry Tabasco sauce. He needs to start carrying his own emergency hot oil 😭😂😂
i lived in taiwan for 2 yrs and i miss taiwanese fan tuan SO much!!!!
Every time I watch these videos I get so hungry. Why do I do this to myself?
Subscribed! Love this channel. It also helps that Taipei is #2 on my dream vacations list. You should really have your own network show.
The rice roll remind me of bamboo rice from Southeast Asia.
same rice
oh gosh yes, thank you for reminding me! I thought it looked familiar but couldn't quite place a finger on it. Yes, it's like khao lam, one of my favorite desserts I grew up eating. Didn't know they have it in other parts of SE Asia too!
I saw those things in Kunming! 😊
Ichiran Raman noodle they have it in New York City, New York, USA if you still want to eat it yourself or with someone else. You should go try that place to see if the that place is as great as when you went to japan to try it there.
He can eat all day but I can watch him all day.

I lived in Taiwan for nearly 6 years and I hardly ever cooked. Its so cheap to live there. You and your friends should have gotten a house there instead of San Francisco.
haha way too hot and steamy
+Strictly Dumpling that's what she said
A 3 bedroom 1400 sq foot (36 ping) furnished apartment for $400 USD...I could deal with it.
Is there a lot of pollution there?
Not as much as South Korea and China. But if you live in the city you will experience pollution. I lived in a smaller city Taoyuan City in Taoyuan county. I never saw the smog clouds I experienced in Seoul Korea.

I liked the soup dumplings I had in Taiwan. One time was at Din tai fung. I know it's everywhere and probably overhyped but I liked it...and the spicy beef noodles they had there.
Wait what, you had din tai fung in Taiwan? Or you were reminded of the dumplings you had in taiwan when you went to din tai fung?
5:54 that head bop though, dying laughing
The first time I encountered savoury soy milk was in 苏州. I wasn't a big fan but you made it look delicious
Jing Ren to me it looks sort of curdled like if saw milk like that over here it would instantly get thrown in the bin, so how is this different? just curious lol

loool that man behind you XDXD

03x02 that's good to learn, thank you for the information :)
Traditional Taiwanese breakfast (if you insist) should be porridge and pickled veggies prepared by mom. Will be too luxurious if there is an egg.
This is my favorite video on TH-cam of your food tasting. I feel like u edited it or sped it up somehow from the last time I saw it. I miss the pacing oh well. Still so terrific you and the awesome yum factor Thanks Mikey
observing the uncle on the background…
I love fan tuan so much, it's probably my favorite Taiwanese breakfast.
5:35 Bromance!! lmao you and the dude behind you took a bite at about the same time
I've been Taiwan; the water is so ultra pure and clean.
The broth that is made for bowl noodle is totally crystal-clear and pure unreal delicious.
mike so what do you do with the leftovers?? no way you can eat all that for breakfast just by yourself o O
I did! It was food coma city after
+Strictly Dumpling aha wat a beast! Bet it was all worth it love taiwanese breakfast!
ouch!
In the savory version of the soy milk, they normally add some vinegar and pickled vegetables so the acidity of those two things causes the soy milk to coagulate and thats why it's chunky unlike the sweet kind, which is more smooth.
It does look tasty...
And it's 22:50 where i live and now i want breakfast >.
The rice thing with the fried dough inside looked really good! Kinda like a burrito shape.
any type of hot breakfast is a good breakfast.
Lol I love how at first you were hesitant about the savory sweet soymilk soup and then when you started trying it you fell in love with it.
Everything looks insanely good *____*
Once the guy appeared on the right, you lost me 😂😂😂
my yelp bookmarks is being taken over by your recommendations lol
So good to watch you eat Mike !! I feel so full already !! You describe it so good I can savor the taste !! Thanks !!
Mike... you might need to consider censoring or blurring the people in the background out of the shoot, the girl in the back at 5:54 was abused by her father and the man behind you doesn't look like he wants to be filmed.
This is where I eat breakfast when I'm in Taipei! Going back in December to see family and I can't wait for the food
That old guy in the back is so cute
LastOrangeman Sooooooo cute
I've never tried any of these foods but u best believe that this video is going in my favorites for when I travel to Taiwan.
豆浆起花是因为醋。很怀念这样的早餐，因为这跟我们上海的早餐一样。
之前在台灣都吃很隨便，反而去上海的時候這樣吃，好吃得記憶猶新啊！
Never thought I like watching someone eat until I watch your vids!
Dude, you put hot oil on...almost everything haha.
kinda makes me want some hot oil too.
I always put an hot oil on everything
The American Asian equivalent of putting tomato ketchup on everything.
I love your enthusiasm for food. I would enjoy a food tour with you as the guide. I have learned to look at meal time, no matter the time of day, as a chance for a new experience. Like your savory tofu milk. One thing I have not seen you try is seaweed salad. As much as you like pickled vegetables, that might be something to show the viewers.

That place was close to my elementary school!!! So much nostalgia!
I'm just watching the guy in the background eat. lol
it looks so different and so wonderful, i love seeing the chefs cooking!
The old man behind him 😂😂😂

I'm Taiwanese!!! I miss it now. 😄😄
is this guy jacky chan?
no
His son
it wouldn't be a surprise since jackie chan had been sleeping with many women during his long movie career!
+Gun_Damn_IT 🙄
There is only a passing resemblance to Jackie Chan.
Haha that place is near my grandparents place, i used to visit when I go back. Man those rice balls (Or rice wraps as you called them) are definitely the thing i miss the most
guy in the back couldn't stop looking at the camera. until some women arrived haha.
I don't care for American Chinese food so I kinda stayed away from Asian food, but always watching you and Dan talk about Asian foods makes me want to try it all! I love that I found this channel along with your other one!
I was so born into the wrong culture... everything you're showing is something I love and everything about American food is so less appealing.
Chinese American communities are trying to bring that stuff over here, so don't fret, it'll come eventually. When you're in China long enough, sometimes you miss not having the many things that America has (Latino food, other European cuisines, even chili dogs). The grass is always greener on the other side.

I live here in the States (Colorado), and there's two places that are extremely good but my friends have never heard of them and we've all lived here all our lives. I promised to take them one day. So go find an Asian friend, lol.
Pythia Sibyls born into the wrong culture.... Lmao
Pythia Sibyls as an Asian, I love eating other food but TBH Asian food is always my favorite from every Asian country. When I eat American food or Latin .. even European is heavy feeling and it's always high in calorie and I always feel fatigued after or I feel like I'm gonna get more obese or have diabetes Bc everything is either too salty or sweet. Be when I eat Asian food I'm full for a cheap price and I go about my day without feeling sluggish! One of my close friends is Haitian and he literally eats only Asian food lol and it's not Bc of me
you have tasted bad chinese food before :') my mom gave me bittergourd before :')
Didn't realized until today that this place is near my parents, I had such good meal with siblings in that restaurant when I went back to TW.
lmaooo at 5:54 a girl got hit by her dad 😂
this is so true... breakfast shops are what I missed most from Taipei...
At 5:53 the guy in the background hits the girl on the head!
I don’t think she’s Taiwanese...she looks like somebody works in Taiwan but came from one of other south east countries...which is not cool to abuse her like that way, not cool
You just brought back some wonderful memories for me! Ate breakfast at that very same restaurant many times.

I feel bad for my friend who is allergic to egg now
Hi Mike, All fried dough are not the same. They are one of the best. To understand first look at the color, then smell then taste the crunchy.yummy.
I'm hungry now
Watching Mike eat and listening to the background music 😌😌
my girlfriend is Taiwanese and I might leave her for her mom's cooking
legittherunner the heck xD
I married into a Taiwanese family for 20 years. When we divorced, I kept his mom... 😎
BTW, one family supplies all of the dough for the fried dough in Taiwan. ONE family! So the fried dough should taste the same no matter where you go.
That's pretty crazy! :O
that's not true, while I was there, the place I had the best breakfast, they made their own dough and fried it themselves
I really like fried chinese dough 😆
I went to this place because of the video. I had the sweet soymilk, dough stick, and soup dumplings. The soup dumplings actually had quite a bit of soup. Everything was good!
WHAT A JERK!! GUY IN BACKGROUND HITS THE GIRL! 5:54
