Hi Mark, Welcome to Taiwan. I am from Taipei and I can assure you that the restaurants you've visited so far are very authentic. Your team really dug into Taiwanese culture and brought you the true Taiwanese everyday experience. Fantastic job!!
@@jordanp7961 Around 2o27. It's sad for Taiwanese people. They work hard, they doing great, and are not a treat for anybody 🧐😔 Therefore War is always sad 😢
Tip for those like me who are not Mark or do not have 7 friends with them, or cant get a reservation at Ji Yuan, they have a second restaurant G-Woo where you can buy the same chicken dish in multiple portion sizes from 1 person up 400twd. I cant say it's exactly the same as I missed Ji Yuan but hard to fathom the mothership could be much better, oh wow!
Between 1:35 when Mark mentions there must be at least 50 pots going, and 2:03 when he mentions that there are 38 to 40 pots, Mark had consumed over 10 pots of chicken soup! And he's still so slim!
Hi Mark, I'm from Taipei. I have been following your channel for quite some time. I can tell your team does a tremendous job. All the restaurants and street foods you visited in Taipei so far are very iconica and authentic. My dad took my family to these places to eat all the time. What a fantastic job!!!!!
They really do quite an amazing job! I think the editing on these recent episodes has just been awesome. And the food... makes me want to go to Taiwan again! 😅
Thanks for the awesome video! We’re heading to Taiwan in a few days to bring home the two children we’re adopting, and this definitely gave us some good food options to check out while we’re there! Thanks, again!
Ginger duck hot pot can only be found in Taiwan. It is a very local Taiwanese dish, especially during wintertime. Normally these restaurants do not run the business in the summer. It is very delicious, completely different from any other type of hot pot. Cook it with vegetables, duck heart, pork blood cake, meat balls, and many kinds of hot pot ingredients. And vermicelli is also a thing of must-eat. Strongly suggest foreigners try it when there is a chance to visit Taiwan. One of my favorites!
Loving this whole series in Taipei. I have been once and its a fantastic place with delicious food. Really great videos Mark and I love how consistent and pure your food videos are. Best TH-camr going in my humble opinion!
This is my favorite chicken soup restaurant, and you found the pan-fried bao, which I went a couple of times. Good job, Mark, you really eat like a local. The ginger duck hot pot is only for Winter; glad you like it.
I love the customers in the background of this series paying zero attention to Marc because they are so into their incredible Taiwanese meals. Taiwanese chicken soup looks next level good.
I loved the shot of Marc being enveloped in dumpling steam.. looking like some kind of culinary God shrouded in a beautiful mist! 😂 This episode is full of wonderful sensations, and that's not even counting what the food must taste like!
The Ji Yuan restaurant really is the restaurant I bring my foreign friends to. The soup, I don’t call it soup anymore it’s more like essence. The rich collagen makes your upper and lower lips stick together, normal chicken soup can never.
Dear Mark, this is the best series you've done so far. The food you've eaten looks so healthy and delicious. Total food paradise. Thanks again for your efforts in showing us the world. Kind regards,
This is definitely one of those "I'm very jealous of Marc" episodes, because it's clear how amazing that food is 😅 Once again, it's important to just appreciate that he shares it all with us! I gotta go and eat this for real though, someday...
That soup looks amazing! I am getting a craving now to make some rich chicken soup. It won't be like this one, but I can pretend at least. Great looking Taiwanese dishes. Thank you!
I’m a huge foodie but I’m also a picky eater and don’t eat meat. Discovering Mark Wiens has been amazing because I get to experience all these delicious dishes without having to eat them. And not only do we get to learn about just these delicious foods, but we get a history/culture lesson as well! I’ve also been inspired to try my hand at making some of the things he eats veg/vegan friendly. Never stop making videos. Your passion is infectious!
I have a question and it is not a jab at veganism but pure curiosity if you don't mind? Why do vegans try to mimic meat dishes instead of just cooking and eating veggies as they are? If meat is a no no, why try to recreate it?
@@janvdb9258 that would depend on person to person. My mum hates the taste and texture of meat and always has and so doesn't enjoy fake meat. Other people might be a vegan for conscientious reasons, like concerns for the environment or animal welfare, but still enjoy the texture and flavour but have decided to give it up . Meat substitutions might satisfy cravings for those who still enjoy meat but have decided to give it up.
@@janvdb9258just now seeing this! It’s varies from person to person. I used to eat meat and sometimes find myself craving a hot dog and the plant based ones, on occasion, really do hit the spot. I, for the most part, tend to steer clear of them though. Other people, like my mom, hate all the fake meat like products.
You have a style on the way foods are cooked from place to place you go,you give the people a inside look on what it takes to make the dish so great you have taste from country to country.
After all these years, you are still the cutest and make me laugh and smile the most! When you held up the right is fine and said maybe this is why it's so warm and fell off my chair thank you for a great and fun.
I love Formosan foods very much😍. Their cuisine is a fusion cuisine of various Chinese food cultures of especially middle, midwest and southern regions in mainland, which is very unique and creative. The large chicken soup must be very creamy and of course so yummy🍲🥢👍.
Ginger duck hot pot is a traditional Taiwanese food ,it’s good for health to eat in winter,and the boss usually rest from May to August.Mark is really good at exploring food.
I am from Taipei and for sure not a foodie. But the chicken soup at Ji Yuan is incredible and unique. Just like Mark said, you can feel the stickiness in your lips, literally. Strongly recommend if you have time and budget to try.
Thanks Mark for sharing the new episode Spectacular Street Food in Taiwan. I love meatballs/dumplings. The chicken soup was wonderful, although I did see pork in it. Amazing food tour. 👍👏
Awesome video Mark! I love the great new foods you show on your channel that I've never even heard of before. Taiwan's food looks very delicious. I'll probably never get there, but I thank you for showing us what they are famous for. Safe travels to you & your family.
Why, Mark, did you make the "street food" so wonderfully expectant for diners? I LOVED the pots of chicken and parts and broth! Hearts and livers are my FAVORITE chicken and duck parts so I am sure these are WONDERFUL to others beside me! Thank You! You know, not many people like the innards of foul meats. But I am NOT one! When I am treated to chicken or duck or beef...I am delighted with organs as meats that I enjoy! So THANK YOU when you share these aspects of dining!
I’m so hyped seeing you visiting my city and also I’m surprised for that the places you visited- they’re all super authentic!! Typically what Taiwaneses would choose to eat if we’re in that area, some restaurants you showed in the vids are the ones I go super often, great job! Welcome to Taiwan and Taipei, hope you enjoy your stay here!
WHOA! Mark...a Small WHOLE Chicken in any of the pots??!! A LITTLE bit Sweet AND a LITTLE bit Sour? You know, Mark, I enjoy what you share with us.... 'cuz sometimes it ISN'T your favorite flavors. But you are ALWAYS Kind... and Find Everything Enjoyable! I understand.... and ALWAYS ...you show us Taiwanese Steamed and Boiled... & Fried Buns?? Can't Wait! Chili's AND Soy Sauce....one of my favorite combinations. Compliments EVERYTHING! Vermicelli is one of my Favorite pastas because it is so splendorous and thin....The "Duck Parts" look Fantastic! Tapai, Taiwan... WONDEROUS Food! Thank You, Mark!
Just arrived in Paris for the first time with the intention of eating croissants and lots of rich French food. But I'm watching this video and all I'm craving now is Taiwanese food!
So incredible.. I would trust Taiwanese chefs to produce some of the world's best duck and duck soup, and this video only cements that notion. How tasty can you get?? This has to be the peak!
Hi Mark! Love all your food adventures and love the fact that you are not shy about sharing your Christian faith! May the Lord bless you and your family!
I love watching you eat you make everything look good what a blessing for you and your family get to go around the world. To eat everything you do I really really loved Anthony Bourdain. I use to watch him and every we’re he went I do miss him. Thank you for taking me with you and your beautiful family 🌹
Yeah I know right Taiwan is such an amazing country it adopts some of those Chinese dishes and transforms them to a much better version, and yet still keeps their own food at another level. Such a great nation as everyone agrees
Love this episode! This was common when I was in TW and completely destroys the common Western Mentality that Chinese/Taiwanese food is low end, low price, low quality. It is NOT!
Hi Mark! I am from Malaysia. I just went last week to try the chicken soup and all of us just love it. It taste amazing, so full of chicken flavour with the stickiness on the lips. Thank you for recommending.
Wow,you know this restaurant. This is taiwanese who know eat will go here ! Many guys know taiwanese street foods good, But taiwan also have many amazing restaurant .
Hi Mark, Welcome to Taiwan. I am from Taipei and I can assure you that the restaurants you've visited so far are very authentic. Your team really dug into Taiwanese culture and brought you the true Taiwanese everyday experience. Fantastic job!!
Hi there, need to try before the Chinese attack 😢
@@MarcMcCormic.26x4Fatbike when is it
@@jordanp7961 Around 2o27. It's sad for Taiwanese people. They work hard, they doing great, and are not a treat for anybody 🧐😔 Therefore War is always sad 😢
@@MarcMcCormic.26x4Fatbikethey have the same food in mainland, in fact taiwanese is mainland food with minor variations
me to and Iam from Taiwan
Tip for those like me who are not Mark or do not have 7 friends with them, or cant get a reservation at Ji Yuan, they have a second restaurant G-Woo where you can buy the same chicken dish in multiple portion sizes from 1 person up 400twd. I cant say it's exactly the same as I missed Ji Yuan but hard to fathom the mothership could be much better, oh wow!
thank you so much for your tip! i’m having solo trip in taipei, gonna try G-woo cause I absolutely cannot finish the large portion haha
Looked amazing, I’m from Ottawa Canada and I’m at the time of my life to travel with my wife and explore amazing places and food. Thank you Mark.
Hey, Ottawa here too! 🇨🇦
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ amen.
The ginger duck soup makes your body warm up immediately, a perfect comfort food in the winter.
I really would love to try this in winter time 🙂 but also anytime! 😅
but the soup bowl is too terrible!! looks not clean at all!!
@@liebfraumilch3518 是喔 影片的哪幾分鐘是髒的可以指出來看看麼？ I know you r Taiwanese as well so point it out ,enlighten me please
Mark is such a friendly and positive guy
🥹🥹I really like your videos! It is because of your videos that I started documenting Taiwanese food! Welcome to Taiwan, and wish you a happy time!
You’ve gained a subscriber here, looking forward to your videos!
Between 1:35 when Mark mentions there must be at least 50 pots going, and 2:03 when he mentions that there are 38 to 40 pots, Mark had consumed over 10 pots of chicken soup! And he's still so slim!
Yeah I was confused on what the actual count was
That chicken soup looks like it would warm up the coldest of hearts! I bet it smells amazing 😍

👏🏻
that's enough
Jessie, given the choice to select just one, which would you go for, the whole chicken hot pot or the duck hot pot?
@@Angelique218 definitely the whole chicken soup place. Note that this is not a hot pot restaurant.
Mark I like your videos, I can’t travel anymore, but it reminds me of places and foods I’ve eaten.
Have you had a rooster head😛
Literally bookmarking all your eats whilst I'm in Taipei!!!
That's a pro move right there 😂 excellent idea!
👍👍👍
Ginger Duck Hot Pot is super famous food for cold winter, help us to warm our body. This is a very local taiwanese food.

WOW now that's what I call chicken soup! Mark Weins you are definitely one fortunate man🤗
Thank you Mark! The food looks fantastic! Now I really want to visit Taiwan!
That chicken soup looks DIVINE. Midnight is not a good time to be watching Mark 😭
Can't wait for more of your Taiwan series 😋
Mark, I love this food tour series of Taiwan!
Loving this whole series in Taipei. I have been once and its a fantastic place with delicious food. Really great videos Mark and I love how consistent and pure your food videos are. Best TH-camr going in my humble opinion!
Great to see this video with the chicken soup and claypot. I certainly want to visit Taiwan. Please continue with more food visits in Taiwan!
So happy you enjoyed Taiwanese food! I’m sure you’ve already left but next time hit me up and I’ll take you to some secret spots!
Whats going on with China surrounding there?
This is my favorite chicken soup restaurant, and you found the pan-fried bao, which I went a couple of times. Good job, Mark, you really eat like a local. The ginger duck hot pot is only for Winter; glad you like it.
love so much your introduction of Taipei. Looking forward to more video of Taiwan from Mark is so fantastic.
NOTHING like Taiwanese Street Food! Thank YOU Mark! Fantastic! LOVED IT!
I love the customers in the background of this series paying zero attention to Marc because they are so into their incredible Taiwanese meals. Taiwanese chicken soup looks next level good.
驥園雞湯真的超好喝，很難訂位！
冬天很冷吃完薑母鴨身體都溫暖了。
I loved the shot of Marc being enveloped in dumpling steam.. looking like some kind of culinary God shrouded in a beautiful mist! 😂 This episode is full of wonderful sensations, and that's not even counting what the food must taste like!
The Ji Yuan restaurant really is the restaurant I bring my foreign friends to. The soup, I don’t call it soup anymore it’s more like essence. The rich collagen makes your upper and lower lips stick together, normal chicken soup can never.
Dear Mark, this is the best series you've done so far. The food you've eaten looks so healthy and delicious. Total food paradise. Thanks again for your efforts in showing us the world.
Kind regards,
Every dish looks so good. And the chicken soup seems absolutely phenomenal!
WOW! Amazing! You have the best job ever! You have brought us the foods of the world, we drool and you get to eat! LOL! Keep up the good work!
The fact that we get free food & travel videos on TH-cam by Mark is truly a gift. 👏👏👏
Mark the man.
As usual, your presentation of Taiwanese food is fantastic!
Enjoy your chicken broth!!!
This is definitely one of those "I'm very jealous of Marc" episodes, because it's clear how amazing that food is 😅 Once again, it's important to just appreciate that he shares it all with us! I gotta go and eat this for real though, someday...
That broth looks phenomenal! My stomach is growling in agreement.
@@chucktz469 it really does!
So nice
Incredible...this must be one of the most amazingly different, elaborate and yummy soup ...wow....
Soup with Ginger is so delicious, ideal during winter season.
True chicken soup for the soul.
Great food from a great country
👍👍👍
Yes indeed, on both counts!!
@@FlavorofMind Thank you!!!
Respect to Taiwan from Germany, death to communism!
@@8kw7mx9 thank you for loving republic of China😂
Loving the Taiwanese series Mark!
Mark is really a foodie. He knows what the locals would actually eat, instead of going to shops that are only known for tourists.
Agree! I would say that's even his specialty - finding the wonderful foods that locals really eat 🙂
🙄
That soup looks amazing! I am getting a craving now to make some rich chicken soup. It won't be like this one, but I can pretend at least. Great looking Taiwanese dishes. Thank you!
That chicken soup needs a reservation far in advance. Very impressed that you visited that restaurant.

Taiwan has a lot of vegetarian and vegan restaurants. I think someone even made an APP for that. Search out on TH-cam, many vegans recommend it.

Both soup dishes looked delicious! If I tried the boiling broth and chicken as Mark did from the main pot, my mouth would blister. 🥲
I’ve always felt incredibly blessed to be a Taiwanese.🙏🌹🇹🇼thank you Mark🌹

The best place to enjoy food from all over China is Taiwan. Sichuan food, Ningbo food, Fujian food... All in one place.
Yeah I know right Taiwan is such an amazing country it adopts some of those Chinese dishes and transforms them to a much better version, and yet still keeps their own food at another level. Such a great nation as everyone agrees
Taiwanese food is the best in the world. There is a reason y people call Taiwan 🇹🇼 food paradise like Mark and everyone else.
True. My brother used to rave about the food when he lived there several years.
Love this episode! This was common when I was in TW and completely destroys the common Western Mentality that Chinese/Taiwanese food is low end, low price, low quality. It is NOT!
I will eventually go to Taiwan Thank You, Mark.
Hope you can make it - I've only been once, and it was so great that I know I'll be back!
Better get these b4 china take it back
Yummy food. Love your vlogs mate. Can't get enough.
Cheers 👍
I love how food vloggers NEVER wait for stuff to cool a bit - as if WE would know otherwise!.

This chicken soup is pure gold!
The whole chicken soup bowl is massive!!
If you want to choose a night market in Taipei , I would recommend 南機場 night market which local people like to go～ not just for tourists like 士林 &饒河
Mark enjoying it too much when that bone slipped out 😂
