I'm a 66 year old man and I want to go to Taiwan after watching this young man's videos. By the way, you have a good on screen presence and excellent facial expressions. Your diction is superb and your enunciation is perfect. Kudos to you and good luck with great success in the future!
mine william I used to love it as well, but now i feel its normal. The fakt that he then tells us "its normal and not so good, because its massproduktion" shows that he is doing that anytime he eats something that is "ok". So if its not really bad then you will see him do this face. I remember him eating giblets (if thats the right translation) that where from yesterday. So because it was expired he got sick the day after.. his reaktion while eating was "oh, its not so good, maybe i just leave it away". I think he is a great guide.. but sometimes i really wonder how bad it has to be for him to refuse it or what it takes for him to say "oh, its really good".
Mark Weins that temple was beautiful. I agree the art and drawings were amazing. And $8.25. For a buffet is a very good price especially for two people. i really enjoy your vlogs Mark. Much love from the U.S. Flowood, Mississippi
I'm just now making my way through the Taiwan series. When I was in Taiwan the last time I didn't make it out of the airport, so I'm definitely looking forward to going back one day. Thanks for always showing us such wonderful food and for being a great personality to watch. And ALWAYS....safe travels :)
I can relate to this:)!!! I was based in Taiwan (kaoshuing) on 1994 and i enjoyed the foods, shopping and countryside travels!!! People r nice and warm too!
I have been in Taipei in 2019. Plan to visit again but the mf pandemi stole our years. Hope I can visit Taiwan again in 2023. Love Taiwan so much! Friendly ppl, delicious food, great everything!
The grilled salmon, add 1 spoonful of boiled oil and some soy sauce, It will become more favorable. The plain boiled chicken, eat the skin, the skin is the highlight, esp they are boiled to the point just right and then were dumped into ice water to make the skin bouncy. The collagen is rich, and u can see there is no fat under the skin either, so it is healthy to eat it.
Can't wait for your next video! Never been to Taiwan but now I defiantly want to go! Please go to more well known and popular tourist spots so we can see what Taiwan is like and if we decide to go there this will definitely give us some ideas!
Goodness, I'm binging on your blogs and videos. They are nicely done with a great balance of narratives and images. Anyway, I love your descriptions of the food, I think they are right on.
Hi Mark, love the temple footage...the painting on the building is amazing!!! You are right, the fish did look alittle dry and the boiled chicken would not have been my choice..but overall the buffet looked good...thanks for the video!!
Mark Wiens, you are living the life I am dreaming of lol. You are such an inspiration! Making me want to travel for food too! But anyways, love love love ur videos and I've seen each and everyone of them! Can't wait for more! Keep up the great work! :) ❤️❤️❤️
Mark this reminds me so much of my recent trip to Taiwan! Make sure you check out the beef noodles in taoyuan street - it's in the Ximen area where you are staying. You will not regret it!
Mark ... The continuity and production values of your work just keeps getting better and better Don't feel bad about them. "Monday" thing ....q I can't tell you how many times I have made the same mistake. Here in the U.S. Many restaurants and museums are closed on Mondays.There is nothing more disappointing than making a trip to a special destination only to fInd that it is closed. Been there, done that and have that autograph! Bud.
Always good fun. Thank you Mark. The airport, I hope you get a chance to look around before you go home. If a theme park and a shopping mall had a love child, it would be the Taipei airport. My friend and I walked around for about 3 hours looking at the various culture displays, before boarding out flight back to Australia.
Mark, I am impressed with this vlog as I see you enjoying the flavours smiling without that exaggerated open mouth. Now, this is what I like to see more from you. Also, I couldn't see your wife but I request you to add her in your happiness in eating those local cuisines.
Hi Mark and Ying! Day 3..Taipei..That restaurant is full of people..the food looks descent..but I like the clam soup..looks fresh..and the egg with tomatoes..looks OK...to bad all the places you want to visit are close..but still a good blog..can't wait for the next one..Thanks Mark and Ying!--Elwyn--
i love this video, he always go around and travel in Asian countries, I always want to go the different places and try their food. But when I watch these videos, it feels like I'm also there and experiencing the same thing. Hope you continue to make these videos!
I watched both video and that that was stinky tofu. Most stinky tofu you would find in Taiwan night markets are fried, but there are also braised stinky tofu you can find in certain restaurants or towns like Shengkeng (深坑), which might be closer to the dark color ones you had in China. The one you had in Shilin Nightmarket was intended to distinguish itself from either. It was named "BBQ Stinky Tofu (on a stick)." It is harder to find those BBQ ones than regular night market stinky tofu (mostly appearing in tourist nightmarket instead of local ones), but I as a native Taiwanese also love them so much!!
I completely agree with you about chicken skin. Hainanese chicken rice is the only dish I know of where chicken skin is a good texture to me, unless it's crispy. Also Taiwanese do seem to be fond of a sort of plain taste to taste each meat for what it is.
I'm new here.. :) and it's all day that I'm watching your Blogs. .. And i have To tell you...they are the best on all youtube.. I love To travel the world and Next week i Will be in Thailand. . wish you all the best mark.. hrvoje from italy..milano
Hi Mark, I always enjoy your vlogs, especially as you give some helpful travel tips. Just wanted to point out that the "boiled" chicken is probably steamed chicken which is a favorite of mine. That fish did not look very good. Not every dish is good.
i think i must try to make the clam and ginger soup...it looked so clean but comforting. Love all your food adventures.....learning about so many foods that I really don't have access to here in LA.
that's what i though...lol......but those dishes he picked are very typical taiwanese home made dishes. less stir fry dishes, less saucy, less oily, less salt, more boiled and steam dishes, kind of plain taste.......got its influence from fujian province and Japan.
Definitely go! Once you get there it's very affordable. Public transit is cheap, food is high quality, plentiful, and ridiculously good. People are supremely friendly and gracious. Go during the winter though. The summer is way too hot haha. I have family there and I try to go every other year.

Don Hiers He's American.
Hurry come to Taiwan.
Welcom~~
I'm a Taiwanese.
There's a lot of delicious food and beautiful place, hope you'll like it.
He is the most courteous and polite critic. Disarming bad food with a wink and a smile ^^
Add Taiwan to my bucket list. This city is "awesome!"
NYCR Go to china so you can get baked crispy and crunchy by the weather.
So beautiful Mark, I would love to go to Taiwan. Watching this is the next best thing.
I FREAKING LOVE IT WHEN HE DOES THE THING WITH HIS EYES
mine william LOL Whenever he does it I do it too :D
Hehehehe
mine william Me too,hunger pangs kick in as well.
I wish i was his son ;-;

I like those kind of food Mark. I wish was there.
Excellent mark!
They are called "non stinky" stinky tofu. They are fermented with vegetables instead of beef and meat. Lovely vlog by the way. 😍😍😍
I didn't know that Taiwan is that beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with us :)
IT IS ALWAYS A TREAT SEEING YOUR FOOD TRIPS. VLOG AWAY MARK!!!!

I miss Taiwan. I love going there to visit my family. I always have to diet 2 months before to lose 5 pounds so I can gain 10 when I come back!
Definitely loving the vlogs. :) Good Job!
Mlee042 Thank you!
Great vid, you always make me hungry!
I completely agree with you about chicken skin. Hainanese chicken rice is the only dish I know of where chicken skin is a good texture to me, unless it's crispy. Also Taiwanese do seem to be fond of a sort of plain taste to taste each meat for what it is.
loving the vogs mark! keep up the good work :)
omg I can't believe you discarded the skin, that's the best part!
this vlog has me waiting for the next one

Hi Mark, I always enjoy your vlogs, especially as you give some helpful travel tips.
Just wanted to point out that the "boiled" chicken is probably steamed chicken which is a favorite of mine. That fish did not look very good. Not every dish is good.
Nice buffet restaurant! Hey! Lots of food! Delicious!~~
I want to go to Taiwan!
First time I see you Mark wearing sunglasses!
i think i must try to make the clam and ginger soup...it looked so clean but comforting. Love all your food adventures.....learning about so many foods that I really don't have access to here in LA.
Mark Wiens How many days are you gonna stay in Taiwan ? It's a amazing place to visit :) Love your Vlog !!
Love the videos!
Wonderful vlog Mark and Ying. That stinky tofu was so eye appealing. I would have tried just for the look. Then I think I would have......... :)
JANICE BALL Thanks Janice
Taiwan is the best country in the world.
so many good looking dishes and he chose the most basic ones lol
that's what i though...lol......but those dishes he picked are very typical taiwanese home made dishes. less stir fry dishes, less saucy, less oily, less salt, more boiled and steam dishes, kind of plain taste.......got its influence from fujian province and Japan.
Mark your videos are always so high quality! may I ask what camera and mic you use?
I Will love go there
Definitely go! Once you get there it's very affordable. Public transit is cheap, food is high quality, plentiful, and ridiculously good. People are supremely friendly and gracious.
Go during the winter though. The summer is way too hot haha.
I have family there and I try to go every other year.
The food looks delicious!
看了很多集,這男肯定是吃貨,沒有不好吃的 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
很像以前大口吃遍台灣的西洋版
