I like century old egg in Thai food. It is delicious.
14:07 Amy's mom is such a positive person even when she doesn't like a dish. She always has something nice to say about the dish. :)
Politically correct.
It's always nutty
Amy's parents are awesome
Taiwanese food is much much similar to Fujian Food since many people in taiwan come from Fujian since their ancestors. Both provinces are great in making food. Love it!
But many people in Taiwan were from other provinces of the mainland, so maybe there are more types of food than Fujian. Taiwan cuisine was also influenced a little bit by Japanese cuisine and that may also cause a little difference from Fujian cuisine. So Food in Taiwan and Fujian might be similar, but they are not exactly the same.
@@Bewolkt Which dish from Taiwan was influenced by Japanese cuisine?
@@se7enkoo Fan Tun & red bean & Sashimi................. egg cake & bubble tea it is come from TAIWAN original
Sashimi may not necessary be Japanese influence as Chinese has in the pass have eaten raw fish thinly sliced serve with soy sauce.
Today Chaozhou (Teochew) dish has several dishes serving raw fish.
@@abcabc2680 Yes. But sashimi won't be popular without Japan influence. I don't think it is popular in Fujian and it only restricted to some coastal area in Guangdong.
Amy's mom appreciation of food is so wise 😍
Big thanks to you for introducing Taiwan on ur channel. Welcome to Taiwan as soon as you can travel overseas and I am more than happy to be your guide to show u around. ❤️
东南沿海都有很多相似但各有特色的美食。台湾除了本地特色还有很多眷村美食，集合了很多其他省份美食的本地版
都是大陆带过去的。
love the openmindedness of your parents to trying new foods that may not fit their palate! everyone was so positive and the food looked amazing! gained a new sub!
Just love the atmosphere and nice relationship in this family. Some jokes, some chats, kinda hearty.
It's so amazing to see how much life seems back to normal in Australia. Here in the Philippines we've been on lockdown for a year already and cases are currently surging like crazy. So thanks so much for these videos! They've been a good way to relax and unwind amidst these trying times :)
I think the reason Chinese desserts aren't sweet is that they're meant to balance the main meal and ease digestion (yin balancing the yang of the often fatty meat and carbs). Red bean is a natural cleanser which is why it is good to eat post meal. Whereas I think the origins of western dessert were to fill people up when times were hard - all the sugar and butter supplemented quite thin main meals.
Great to see rice balls featured here :)
You are so blessed. Your parents are very nice people and so supportive of all your activities.
Amy you all are so lovely and positive about all the dishes. It s such a pleasure to watch you all enjoyin' all the food🌺
definitely agreed when Amy said "you have to be sophisticated before you can really enjoy the taste of the hundred years egg". Not a single ingredient can replace 皮蛋 for its unique sophistication.
Thank you for sharing your love for Asian culture. Living in Canada, I can see that the general sentiment towards Asians in America has been worse since last year. Your content really contributes to our community
In Malaysia, we usually dip youtiao into soy bean milk😍
Same in mainland China 😁
I miss youtiao and soy milk sooooo much.
Or into dou hua, but in the North, the dou hua is savoury instead of sweet.
The food in Taiwan is so cheap & so good. Even their ordinary food “Pian Tang” sold in the train station areas taste so good.
Love Taiwanese food! So simple but so good
Good stuff. I was born in Taipei, and certainly those are quite authentic Taiwanese Dishes. I would recommend a few more dishes and different places for breakfast. When I was a kid in Taiwan, Yo Fan or oily rice was my favorite. It’s stick rice made with pork fat dried shrimp, and peanuts. It’s stick rice that can be eating with your hand out of a plastic bad. Breakfast item by definition need to be finger food. It’s literally fast food Taiwanese style. Also another you must try is Taiwanese Style bakeries. Portuguese Egg Tart, Milk Custard bread, Potato Salad bread, deep fried pork chop sandwich or chicken. Wash them down with milk tea with boba.
Portuguese egg tarts are (obviously from
Portugal originally) from Macau and came to Taiwan via Hong Kong.
Your videos are amazing! You just put so much effort in it.
Plus I always have something to watch while eating lol
The rice balls with yiaotao in the middle - I tried recently and found it such a delicious comfort food. I had the sweet one but was told a salty or savoury one was available which I think I would like more. The combination of soft rice, crunchy dough. So good. This one had pickles too. The very thin omelette wrapped around yiaotao also looks fricken amazing! Need to get back to my local Chinatown. I used to live next door but hardly go anymore. Amy’s videos are making me want to build it back into my routine of deliciousness!
What a nice introduction to Taiwanese food.
Your Mum diplomatic as ever and your Dad behaving unusually impeccable (perhaps the heavy breakfast had something to do with it! :D)
Please make another Taiwanese food episode composed of none-breakfast, like popcorn chicken and Taiwanese beef noodle soup🙏
I have to say you have such a good energy. Keep going!
Happy Anniversary you both! 🫂
Taiwanese food, in particular Taipei, is very internationalized these days due to the large foreigners population living and working in the major cities.
Globalization has its wonderous side, but along with it, the smothering of old traditional recipes which become endangered and thus sometimes pricier to eat.
For example, there is a special Taiwanese rice cake dessert called "Chuang Yuan Gao". One of my favorites but also rarely found these days in Taiwan.
Taiwan, like some of the other more internationalized and recently historically complicated places from China such as Shanghai and Hong Kong, have a very vibrant and multiplural cuisine.
Strictly speaking, Modern Taiwanese cuisine is a mishmash of American, Japanese and Chinese cuisine combined - predominantly still led by strong Chinese roots and influences - in particular from Fujian but also a mixture of Shanghai and Szechuan.
Don’t stay in Taipei, go to smaller cities like Tainan or Pingdong. A lot of great local cuisine there.
That place is my favorite too! And what a coincidence that your dad mentioned pearls as they were invented in Taiwan!
OMG I love braised and minced pork with rice. My grandmother is from Taiwan and she would cook this all the time. I like the century egg with congee, it's delicious! :)
Amy. Love your show. Please come visit Taiwan after the pandemic is over. The Taiwanese people are very welcoming and the food is delicious. You'll definitely have a great time there.
Hope you get to go visit Taiwan soon some day. As someone that is from there I miss the food being over seas.
I already subscribed, so I always have thought your dad was a champion :)
Looks so good!
I subscribed a long time ago cause your dad is a champion
I've only ever found one Taiwanese restaurant here in the states that serves Soursop smoothies. Definitely recommend hunting one down if you've never had it before.
first time i tried lu rou fan when i was in taiwan walking around the night market and it was raining during winter. it was such a nice hearty meal having a hot bowl of lu rou fan when its cold outside.
Loving your food adventures, thank you❤️from uk
You need to try Singapore/Malaysia Oyster Omelette. I tried Taiwanese one so many times but it just cannot grow on me. I get Taiwanese to tried Singapore/Malaysia style one they immediately switch sides. Ours is not Q but it is much tastier and the chili it comes with makes a big difference.
Malysian Oyster Omelette and Fujian's are the best two for me. Acutally many places have similar cuisines. Taiwan is not the only place.
Alan would be the perfect final boss in an '80s John Woo action flick.
you should try the Kowloon Cafe in the background of this video. They are a Hong Kong Cafe. The food and drinks there are amazing! I can eat there every single day and won't get bored.
Alot of my team mates was from Taiwan and they introduced me to Taiwanese cuisine 😁
Hi Amy, for authentic Taiwanese food, I would recommend The Secret Alley in Sydney China Town and Sunflower Taiwanese Gourmet (One near USYD and one in Haymarket) :)
Used to go there pretty often when we lived in Sydney.
Singapore has our own version of oyster omelette too that is slightly different from that of Taiwan! Hope to see you try more sg food other than crabs!!!
By the way, I love the food from Taiwan so much that I can’t wait to go back Taiwan to feast after covid!!
Yummy delicious by d look.wit all yr intro menu must try next time.love yr video keep it coming
I lived in Taiwan for 2 years, and really enjoyed the flavours there! The night market food in Taiwan is so yummy!! I love Taiwan!
Taiwan food is combination of various dishes from Chinese mainland
@@user-ml8dl4rh1e but they do it better?
@@broccoli747 Not necessarily.
Nice video. I don't know if that restaurant have this but vermicelli noodle is a must try. That is the first thing I eat when I land in Taiwan.
蛋饼 and 饭团 are two of the most common breakfast choices in mainland China as well...eat them my whole life..
但是好像饭团的确是从台湾传来的… 很多摊子的店名前都加一个正宗台湾饭团… 还有奶茶 也是台湾传到大陆的 但是现在我们也不差 喜茶 茶颜悦色hhhhhhhh
这个饭团是台湾叫法，上海叫粢饭团，是非常传统的上海早餐。这里面我觉得真正台湾食物是珂仔煎和卤肉饭，皮蛋豆腐等都是大陆传过去的
Taiwan are also very famous for their 牛肉面 beef noodle, which I think your dad would enjoy. I would also recommend the 鸭油饭 duck grease rice, add a drop of soya sauce and it is heavenly..both very Taiwanese food. come to think of it, any Taiwanese 油饭 is good. also 麻油鸡 is also very popular.
very surprised the owner didn't get her beef noodles
Hi Amy, any chance you can do a video about Australian food? I’m interested in what Australians eat.
Smashed Avo? Let's do an Aussie brunch special.
We eat the long living vegemite all the time mate.
Yes, please!
hungry jacks
just fast food i guess
You need to visit Taiwan. Lets go!
You should try the hundred year egg with some sesame oil, soy, and Japanese pickled ginger. Makes for an interesting bite over some hot rice or congee.
Happy Anniversary to your mom & dad! 🙂
Just had my breakfast, now i feel like eating again 😁
Blondie's Dad is a champ! As with youtiao, you gotta dip the sticky rice roll into the sweeten, warm soy milk. Dunk it like a donut in coffee. Otherwise, it might be a bit dry.
Easy game changer for the fermented eggs (hundred years old egg.) Prepare a dipping sauce with soy sauce (or soy paste), black vinegar and a clove (or 2) of smashed garlic (if soy paste is used dice the garlic) (and ginger optional.) Mix and stir and let sauce sit for a minute or two. Use as dip. or Split egg through center and pour sauce mix on split egg (making sure the yoke gets a good amount.)
i love and miss Youtiao, we usually eat with soya milk, doujiang.
I missed this vlog. Cool parents.
You need to go to separate stalls/stores to try each and truly appreciate these items (in Taiwan).
really enjoy ur video
Wow so cool i never had Tiawanese food .. and im in Sydney .. will ahve to check it out
I like Taiwan street food, so goooooood
You should try the real street foods in Taiwan, unbelievable cheap and tasty!!
hundred year old egg.. in my place, we called it century egg, it's usually served with minced pork congee. The way you eat century egg is not to take it mouth full alone but just a quarter portion of the egg mixed with something else.
hi blondie. have you ever tried beer duck? that actually a very famous cuisine in Chinese dishes.
Taiwanese Food looks lush, you're so lucky to have access to all these restaurants. I love soya milk and dessert, try soya dessert it's really.
tasty. The chinese restaurant i visit they put a vanilla essence in the soya dessert, try putting it into the milk it really sweetens the drink and is tasty, i presume they gave you unsweetened soya milk, sweetened is loads better, i always buy sweetened, it is great to drink
I'm Chinese and I'm very much like your mom - I don't like that kind of red bean. But I like it when all the red bean is mushed into paste, and there's no trace of the beans. Maybe your mom will also like that more too! You can find this kind of fine paste in some Cantonese pastries, but even then it's sort of an individual taste and up to the baker in question. Kind of like egg tart crusts - a lot of places will make egg tarts with the flaky crusts, but very traditional egg tarts are made with a cookie/pie crust.
Love your Dad , he should have his own food channel , lol
waiting for you to come Taiwan!!!!!!!!!
The century egg is an acquired taste. Hated it when I was a child, and now I actually likes it a lot, normally eat it with some tofu and soy sauce. The egg does have that distinctive pungent taste to it. Have you tried 皮蛋瘦肉粥? It's a good way to start eating the egg. Instead of getting hit by that pungent taste directly from the egg, It gets dissolved into the 粥, it doesn’t hit you in the face, can taste it in a lighter note. 皮蛋瘦肉粥 and 油條 is my go to breakfast. Give that a try
What about the dumplings and the Taiwanese Beef Noodles???
I wonder if the restaurant called Mother Chu's Vegetarian on Pitt St has the same owner as this one in Chinatown?
They should have ordered "Hu Jiao Bin" AKA Pepper Beef Puff. Congee/Porridge usually my least favorite when I was a child, but those century eggs mixed with pork became my delicacy.
Breakfast beers, that's what I like to see
Hotel breakfast lol your dad is so cute 😂
Haha nice. I only know Taiwan for its bubble tea domination but you opened my eyes introducing its own cuisine. Interesting. Also good luck heading into 200,000 mark.
Welcome to taste the Taiwanese food. It is lighter than the mainland Chinese food.
It is similar to the Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang foods. Some snacks have the taste of Southeast Asia.
When you actually come to Taiwan, you will find that the meals will be softer or tenderer than these... such as tofu and tofu pudding.
I am surprised that beef noodle soup wasn’t served. It’s the quintessential Taiwanese dish.
Also, doufuhua 豆腐花 is eaten sweet in Southern China, but savoury in Northern. Generally, Southern Chinese cuisine is more sweet, while Northern is more savoury and spicy.
7:09 😂😂😂😂😂 truly overcome by the 饭团
I love cold douhua with brown sugar
Oyster omelette is my favorite Taiwanese food , especially in Tainan
4:04 so not true. most of the big beer factories would use rice as one key ingredient in brewing beer.and the main reason is to raise the alcohol degree and lower the cost.
Like Bud
Singapore's food next!!!
I am Taiwanese and I am your subscriber. Welcome to Taiwan, your Chinese is excellent!
I had that Lychee beer before and it's great. LOL.
Blondie & family can try Bak Kut Teh which is very popular dish in MY/SG Overseas Chinese community, this dish is not served in China perhaps you can get it in Australia 😉
I do eat Vegemite (well Marmite actually) on its own. I love licking it off the spoon little by little
Just had breakfast n watching yr video, now need to hunt for food..
Hello from Taiwan!! :))
End it with boba tea, it's definitely super sweet
I will say it’s too sweet. Drink it once in a while is okay because it’s not that healthy at all.
@@PaddyMan1988 sweet and overpriced, Taiwan's "negative contribution" to the world
First of all, it’s not real tea but chemical substitute. Secondly, sweetened taste is not come from real sugar but syrup. Finally, I believe boba is some kind of jello whatever chemical stuff. 🤮🤮🤮
😅 my husband always talks about going to China as a child and buying a ‘cherry’ popsicle which turned out to be red bean and the disappointment that traumatised him 😄
that century egg portion haha, its really an acquired taste.
I really love oyster omelette
Kent street carpark, still not the cheapest in the city area. Goulburn st is cheaper
ok with weekend rate
Imagine how much exercise Amy has to do after consuming a lot of food for her prolific food vlog.
imagine doing exercise
So enviable
U can have the century egg with pickles.
歡迎來台灣玩，但要有減肥的心理準備XD
First of all, I like all your videos and how much you appreciate different food from different nation.
Century Egg is a much delicate title, instead of Hundred-year-old egg. LOL
PS: it's called 皮蛋, english translation would be "Skin-Egg" LMAO
Here's your thousand year old egg. You idiot! I said 3 minute. Joke from Bob Hope when he was in China.
You have t visit the beautiful country of Taiwan and the food is amazing :P
Are you still producing contents for Canton TV?
Looks good but where's the Taiwanese beef noodle soup? Or bamboo sticky rice?
