I'd love to know: what's your favourite of these foods? What else would you recommend trying in Taiwan?
I'd recommend stinky tofu lol. Don't worry, it tastes much better than it smells.
Best. name. ever. 😂
Speaking of food in Taiwan, you can not miss it in Tainan. Food in Tainan is the locals are proud of.
No it doesn't...it's exactly as the name implies;...stinky tofu!...of course I don't like tofu to begin with. Remember the rule..." acquired taste" means "taste like crap until you're so drunk you don't care or are unconscious." Just joking of course...some ppl actually like it.
Anything fried or deep fried...up north it's the dumplings and noodles, down south it's the seafood...in the middle...anything made out of meat!
But on a more serious note, I do love your videos. High quality, informative and fun to watch! Thanks for promoting Taiwan!
Thanks so much! This was our first time to Taiwan and we both just love it. It's a lot of fun putting this Taiwan series together. :)
小貝😍
LoganDBeck 小貝 i love u
謝謝小貝 翻譯好多他的影片讚
Taiwan’s #1 - 米漿
LoganDBeck 小貝 Yes you are right and that one is the drink you love it so much right?
I fell in love with Taiwan ❤️ I translated what you wrote and it says 'rice syrup' - is that right?
It's a Peanut Rice Milk. It's life for me!
Ah gotcha! That sounds absolutely delicious. 🥜
哈 我媽媽最喜歡米漿..
妳介紹的都是台灣經典的東西，真是好棒。
Taiwan always offers high quality products with reasonable prices to the world. People can enjoy them and are able to afford it. That's the value of Taiwan.
台湾真的是美食天堂，食物简单又好吃。 那里的美食都是用爱心做出来的，一点都不虚伪。好想念回到台湾这美丽的国家。Taiwan is really a food paradise. Everything is so simple and yet delicious. Nothing there is pretentious or overdone. There is no caviar, gold shavings, truffle. It's all just really honest food made with love passed down through the generations. Even their 7-11 and Family Mart has a plethora of choices that you cannot find elsewhere. Ah, I miss Taiwan so much.
I love the way you promote or introduce TAIWAN, especially as a foreigner, you make so many great videos.
I'm Taiwanese-American and I stumbled across your Taiwan vlog series today. Thank you so much for showing everyone the hidden treasure that is Taiwan and for keeping such an open and receptive mindset- it is so refreshing! Also looking at the food makes me miss Taiwanese food soo much haha
I miss the Apple Sidra too everytime I leave Taiwan. I recommend the Zongzi: rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leave.
謝謝你這麼愛❤️台灣🇹🇼的美食還有你真是內行！！😄
非常感謝您的可愛評論！Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 😘
要更常來台灣ㄛ！❤️我們隨時都歡迎你們
中国台湾。。。每次看到胎毒的我就很反感，祖宗都不要
i miss you Taiwan...
You did an incredible job on these videos!!
Thank you!! Taiwan is so fantastic. More videos coming before we wrap up this series.... :)
看完影片...突然肚子餓了起來! 哈哈 ;) 謝謝你這樣用心 把台灣好吃的食物推薦給大家 . 你好可愛. You're so cute! This video made my day. ;) Thanks, Eileen!
You are amazing! Not only you taste the good food but you hands on making the Taiwanese cuisine. Love you!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment and love back! ❤️ I loved learning how to make Taiwanese dishes (and clearly love eating them too haha)!
My family is from Taiwan, but I grew up in Canada. I really enjoyed watching your Taiwan series! I lived in Taiwan for about 6 months and it brings back a lot of good memories.
FYI, several major Canadian cities have a super market called "T&T Supermarket" that sells Apple Sidra. As well as other Taiwanese snacks
thanks for uploading such great vedioes related to my beautiful and gorgeous hometown Taiwan to the world.
非常喜歡妳講話那種笑笑的感覺，會讓人覺得妳是真心喜歡並且分享👍
thanks for sharing and welcome to TWN.
Great video Eileen, thanks for sharing with us your travels. I'm looking forward to many more and have of course put that dumpling place on my list of places to go to. 😀
Thanks, Andrew! I'm glad Din Tai Fung made it on your list and hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Let's just say dumplings will make another appearance in a future Taiwan video, too... :)
Your video is very lovely n realistic of life in Taiwan.
Especially that Apple Sidra also remind lots of Taiwanese people of happy childhoods.
I love the apple cider too!!! Dumplings are something you have to try in Taiwan for sure.
謝謝你這樣介紹我們臺灣!!❤❤
謝謝你的好評！💖
Gotta admire your taste list,it's really fascinating.
haha do you mean what I chose to include in this video or just that I have a 'taste bud wish list' at all? 😂
Cant wait to go to Taiwan next year!
rounded ones are buns（Xiao long bao），and strait cooked by water or steam are dumplings
This is really informative!good job
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
口渴時喝一口冰的蘋果西打，那種爽度真的破表😃
我無法正確翻譯，但我認為你在談論蘋果酒...？I couldn't translate this properly but I think you're talking about the apple cider...?
Yeah she is. Here is the translation, "When you are thirsty, it is awesome to have an iced Apple Sider."
Eileen Aldis Yeah I think the product name "蘋果西打 Apple Sidra" is inspired by apple cider. It's just 蘋果西打 is not alcoholic, just a soda drink.
少量 蘋果汁 香料 + co2 蘋果汽水
西打=蘇打
蘇打水=汽水
蘋果西打=蘋果汽水
酒！？
I'm most fascinated by Milk tea. I've never heard of it. Thanks for another great foodie vlog. Must get to Taiwan some day!!
Milk tea is delicious and you can find it everywhere in Taiwan. I love how many different varieties there are...always something new to try.
@Nancy Johnson , maybe you've already tried milk tea by now but if not, as long as you're not too remote you can Google Map or Yelp "milk tea" or "boba" and find it. Asian markets also have instant milk tea you can buy too.
Taiwan is a very safe and very friendly amazing country ,Also is a gourmet paradise.
Welcome to Taiwan to live !!
I agree - and thanks! 😘
The pictures what you take looks so good.
It was!
I love your videos! Apple sider is my favorite too and I feel exactly the same way as you whenever I have it. Your explanation is so GOOD and makes the food even more tempting ever!! thumbs X100 !!
Hi! Thank you so much! I'm glad you feel the same way! 😘
OMG, I miss you-Taiwan.
love to hear you laugh all the time
aww that's nice to hear! thanks! :)
Nice round up! Makes us wish we could transport back there right now. We went to Din Tai Fung too and liked the xiao long bao, but felt the pork chop over fried rice stole the show! Really want to try that aiyu jelly in conch shell next time. Funny thing is that we have noticed the black sugar bubble milk more often here in NYC after having it in Taipei.
Ooh yes also an excellent dish. Din Tai Fung is wonderful. The aiyu jelly was really different tasting and I loved it. Plus I learned that eating out of a shell enhances the experience haha. Cheers to your next bubble tea!
It's so nice to see happy people like you and your boyfriend enjoying your travels. I hope to follow in your footsteps in the next six to eight months. Thank you for your hard work. I know videos like this take a lot of time and effort.
Thanks so much, Robert! We really appreciate your comment and it's great to hear you may be setting out on some travels soon yourself. Whereabouts would you like to go?
Originally I was thinking about going to Saigon to start my journey. But after seeing your video and a few other expats vids, I'm considering renting in Taipei to make it my home base. Then, every 90 days, I'll head out and spend two weeks in another city. Saigon, Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur, and Seoul are the ones I'd like to see most. What has been your favorite place so far?
Thanks for introducing the food in Taiwan
Thanks for writing 😘
finally had apple sidra today and it's super refreshing! thanks for recommending this. 🙂
Awesome! So happy enjoyed it, Sophia :)
Thanks for introduce Taiwan`s foods.
Love your video.
Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it 😘
我很少看到youtuber旅者這麼認真，除了花時間找好吃的東西推薦大家，更厲害的是花時間學～～～你超強的，為你點讚
謝謝 ❤️
@@EileenAldis 唯一问题，台湾属于中国。
中国台湾地区。你也可以到大陆来称大陆为中国大陆地区，因为他们是一个国家的两个地区。
中文不错
love your videos.
Thanks, Jerome :)
You can try fried salted chicken and Taiwanese beer. . you will definitely fall in love with this.
I love your video...you did it very well 👍
I haven't had shaved ice fruit in 20 years I love that stuff my first time having it was in chaozhou in 1999. That was the best dessert ever. Red bean popsicles I remember buying them in a grocery store in pingpong. I love Taiwan always have and will.
Eileen Aldis wow, absolutely what a great video that you made again! I love Apple Sider and definitely, it can be my water, haha but it's not very healthy if you choose that to be your every single day. By the way, I reckon that you can buy Apple Sider in Cannada as well because there are lots of Asian supermarket in Canada and they sell it for sure and it might be expensive than Taiwan. I would like to share a tip for drinking Apple Sider if you would like to try it. You can buy a lemon and slice it and put it into a cup and put the Apple Sider into the cup. Trust me, you will like it.
Hi! Thank you! That's a great suggestion to put a lemon slice in with the apple drink - I've never had it that way. It's such a refreshing drink when you want to cool down. Absolutely love it AND the fact that you can find so many delicious drinks (and food) at a 7-11 or similar store almost everywhere. :)
Yes, you are right. As a Taiwanese foodie and I highly recommend that you go to try some street food in the night market. Probably, you have tried it already. I found out that night markets are another heaven for a foodie. Haha.
Yes, they are foodie heaven haha. More Taiwanese food videos are coming... 😁
Sounds COOL! And Apple Sider is a good drink when you have any kind of Taiwanese food.
Another amazing video! I’m hungry now haha! Think I’ll be getting a bubble tea tomorrow :)
haha I can relate! Hard to watch without that reaction ;)
taiwan street food, is heaven
Agreed!
That AII looks delicious!! Yummy!!
It was! Taiwan makes it easy to eat well :)
Love you as you love Taiwan
Sending love back, Alice 😘
Aw that's cute 😍😍
Apply Sidra is similar to Mexican soda called Manzana Lift. You can also find it in Hispanic supermarket in US.
love your video
Thanks, James!
The video is very good to introduce Taiwan food,thanks
Thanks, Dennis! We made a bunch of other food videos in Taiwan if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/foodsplaylist :)
Night markets are totally worth it. 100% recommend
awesome video! awesome food! welcome to Taiwan!
Thanks so much, Michael! :)
nice taiwan
Taiwan no.1
great video of taiwan.
Thank you!
Taiwan is nice place and rich Asian country.
I love various organic green vegetables from taiwan and dry mashroom which you cook it simply with chicken and water , best delicious homesick cured soup and it is very good for health.
Love watching your natural reaction after tasting these food, and also you are willing to learn how to make them on your own. I am Taiwanese, and I love eating braised pork on rice, especial a bit fat tiny bit pork on rice will be your another heaven!!
Thank you! It sounds like you've seen our other Taiwan videos, like the cooking class. That was really fun and I'm a big fan of Taiwanese food :)
這位對台灣了解的很深
謝謝
I'm going to Taiwan in April next year, so thanks a lot for your advice! Guess it's very useful 👌🏻😃
That's awesome, Anna! We made a series of 13 videos full of tips if you'd like to check them out: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist :) Have an amazing trip!
Awesome country❤
It is the first time I see how the pearls were made , thank you
Me too - you can see the whole process in the Taiwanese cooking class I did here, if you'd like: bit.ly/cookingtaiwanese. Super interesting (and delicious)!
雞排 鹹酥雞 滷味 米糕 炒米粉 炒飯 雞湯都很棒！
Thanks for sharing. You are very professional TH-camr.
Thanks so much!
Great video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
The apple cider made me lol, glad you enjoyed it so much.
You can actually find it served in some of the TW food restaurants in NY.
haha clearly I love it. 😋 Glad to know it's available elsewhere too.
@@EileenAldis you can buy them at T&T in Canada!
主持人的配音聽起來很舒適,介紹的東西也夠道地 讚 訂閱
Thank you for loving the destination. Try to visit between November to April, it is much cooler and pleasant.
Thanks, Simon - yeah, we learned how hot summer is but at least it made the shaved ice taste especially good ;)
yay glad i discovered your channel...working here in taiwan...din tai fung is in my bucket list
Hello! I'm glad you found us too! Whereabouts in Taiwan do you live/work? We loved visiting so much. Din Tai Fung is awesome! Hope you enjoy it when you go :)
@@EileenAldis im from Philippines and works here for awhile already...will watch all your Taiwan vids and hopefully go to the places you've been...it's so awesome
Awesome! Hopefully you're able to see the country while you work but I know it can be hard with a busy work schedule. Which part of the Philippines are you from? We've been there too and made videos! They're here if you want to see: bit.ly/filipinoplaylist :)
Great video once again, all looked really good, but the dumplings and hot and sour soup would be my first choices.
Good picks! I can't get enough dumplings and I was impressed that I liked the hot and sour soup because normally I hate mushrooms. 🍄
Taipei is my favorite city.
it warms my heart to see one of my fave youtubers enjoy my country so much! as much as i want to keep taiwan a hidden secret from being on the tourist radar, i also want the world to see how AMAZING taiwan really is! and i want my country to thrive from tourism as well! everything you had in this video is everything i grew up eating....i dont get to eat it much now even though its easily accessible here in SoCal but i save it for special occasions ;) ~sara
Aww thank you, Sara!! You have made my day. That's so cool that you ate these yummy foods growing up. Taiwan definitely feels like a hidden gem because it's amazing and yet, as you say, not high on the tourist radar. So, so glad you're enjoying this series - lots more coming, including more food. Maybe some more childhood favourites?!
I had no idea about the history of bubble tea! I learn so much from you! That conch shell shaved ice dessert looks beautiful! I'll be having dumplings for dinner tonight thanks to you! :0)
Aww I'm happy to hear that :) I also didn't realize bubble tea was Taiwanese until visiting Taiwan. YAY for dumpling dinner! Enjoy 😘
18 folds to those dumplings is incredibly intricate artwork. I really hope those workers who make dumplings of that level of intricacy daily are well enough paid for their skills, speed, and dedication to their trade of dumpling making. PS, I did catch your efforts at learning how to make the dumplings yourself in that video recently. Kudos to your own efforts at trying it out also.
I hope so too as they are indeed so skilled and FAST at making them. And thank you! I loved getting to try it out. As usual, made me appreciate how they do it even more :) The care that goes into each one enhances the flavour and experience.
Looks so interesting there
It's wonderful!
Enjoy ur day.....
Thanks! You too :)
Nice
Taiwanese food is the best in the world.
Welcome back to Taiwan!
Thank you! ❤️
Why didn't I heed your warning... I watched on an empty stomach..... so hungry, those dumplings look amazing. Great video as usual!!!
Thanks, David! Oh nooooo haha 🤤Hope you can satisfy that craving sooner than later!
Your reaction is really cute
Of course you would hit my most favorite thing in the whole world...FOOD! ...and Taiwan is known to be the foodie capital of the world!!!...Come on...night markets and day markets everywhere and seafood...and dumplings...OMG! (Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!). I may have to alter my course and cut straight across...how far is that from Central America by boat?... worth a few extra thousand miles or so and perhaps some rough nights at sea just to eat there!... Totally worth it! Assuming no hurricanes I should be there in a month or so! Hahahaha! Another great video! Thank! Great editing btw!
Thank you! I feel the exact same way of 'lions and tigers and bears...oh my!' with all the food choices in Taiwan. SO many delicious things to try. I'm sure people have sailed across the sea for lesser things than bubble tea and dumplings haha. It'll make your arrival there that much more satisfying :) More food videos to come...!
I love your reaction to the apple cider :D I would definitely love to try it and the rose tea next time I'm in Taiwan! I've been there with my family only once, and we loved everything we ate from street food to high end restraints including Din Tai Fung.
Isn't the food great?! Hope you like the drinks next time you're there! Have some for me please :)
@@EileenAldisYou can find that apple sider at Chinese supermarket in Toronto as well
Welcome to Taiwan
and thank you Like here
Formosa (Taiwan) 😊
Yesss! You can still get Apple Sidra in America but it's hard to find. If you want to find it, go to a small local Chinese or Taiwanese local store that imports directly from Taiwan and other countries. Also, be sure to try Stinky Tofu, Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, Oyster Omelette, Taiwanese Chicken Rice, Pork Feet Rice, "Wah Guay", Taiwanese Sausages, and the list could go on forever! These are more traditional Taiwanese street food so it's delicious and cheap! My family is around the Renwu area in Kaohsiung, and there is more street food around there.
bubble tea is just fantastic ^_^
Hi Eileen, in case you don’t know, Apple Cidra is available in almost all Chinese grocery stores in the U.S. I’m gonna say it should be easy for you to find it in Canada too. Yet instead of bottles, it usually comes in 350-ml can in the U.S.
Thanks, Amber! I especially loved the cute little chubby baby cans - maybe I can find those too :)
希望你們喜歡台灣 🙋♂️🙋♂️
要常常跟朋友一起來走走喔！
台灣還有很多隱藏版的美食
刈包 ，牛雜湯，棺材板……等 🤭🤭
Find your closest chinese supermarket or Asian supermarket. You probably can find it... especially if you stress close to Toronto or Vancouver. I can guarantee you can find apple sidra there.
Nice video
Oh my god this video deserves more views
Here in US, we can buy Aaiwanese Apple Cider in Asian supermarket. It's canned though.
I usually drink 7-11 apple soda...And I love bubble tea,too.........I love steamed pork bun小籠包。。。All of Taiwanese food I have eaten before. If you have any problem you can ask me. Because I live in Taiwan.
They sell that Apple Sidra (Cider?) stuff in T&T supermarket all over Canada
Great video Eileen and Mark! I've never traveled to Taiwan but here in Southern California, I've been exposed to the beef noodles and the bubble tea (we call it bobba here in Cali). We even have several locations of Din Tai Fung and it is a family favorite. You guys should stop by the Los Angeles metro and eat some of the Asian food here. I'd be interested to know if it compares to any of the authentic stuff you're eating in your travels. Happy travels!
Thanks, Mark! Both Marc and I love California and hope it's not too long before another visit. It would be interesting to see how it compares, yeah. I remember eating really well in LA last time. That's awesome you have Din Tai Fung nearby - I'd love to bring my family there.
Fun fact: Boba means the type of the "large bubbles" in Taiwan, and before that, it means the large breasts of woman or woman with large boobs.
its seems spicy and delicious
A new subscriber here and watching your old vlogs. I’m curious of Apple Sidra. Been to Taipei 4x but want to go. I’m a bubble tea addict.
Hello! Welcome to our channel :) As you can tell, I love Apple Sidra and recommend trying it on a hot day when the drink is super cold. I'm also obsessed with bubble tea. What's your favourite kind? It's hard to pick but I always love a classic brown sugar milk tea ❤️
Eileen Aldis I love the classic bubble tea,too. I will be going to Taipei and Taichung in December and will look for Apple Sidra. It’ll be cold then but I will still get it. Maybe I will bring home some to the Philippines and have it there so I can experience how good it is when the weather is hot.
Watching your other vlogs and I’m getting inspiration on places to go. BTW, your laugh is contagious.
Ahah I am Taiwanese the apple soda is awesome!!! We all love it
I LOVE everything about it! Makes me so happy! 🍎
Thanks GOD u like the eat things of Taiwan
We made a TON of videos about food in Taiwan so we definitely love the food ;)
