i don’t comment at all, but this video made me so emotional i wanted to share. i’m a taiwanese-american living in taipei. i’ve been in LA since the beginning of the year for psychiatric treatment, but because of COVID 19, i can’t go home. this video made me tear up because of how much i miss my country and its incredible food. i used to go to the original DTF at least a few times every month, and one of my all time favorites is the truffle and pork xiao long bao. thank u for visiting my underrated home country and sharing its wonderful culture with everyone!!
"We strive to pay our employees fairly. That way our employees can focus on doing their job and provide the best service to our customers." The US could only imagine
different culture, US restaurant pay minimum for their servers and pass the responsibility to customer for tipping. I feel so sad when I see high end restaurants in the NY setting up crowdfunding accounts for their employee during pandemic instead of paying from their own packet.
Taiwan has plenty of labor issues. Just like in the US, many industries underpay and overwork their employees. Small street food stalls/carts are often open for 10 hours a day. Their minimum wage is also crap compared to living expenses.

I think a lot of people are turned off by the smell and then never try it. I think once youre able to get over the smell its fine. Pairing it with seasoning or sauces definitely helps.
Stinky tofu is really something... Even the smell of it in the streets was hard for me to handle... IT REALLY STINKS. But the century egg is just about the look, it taste really good :)

Solidify your soup with gelatine and let it set then chop your soup jello into small pcs and mix it into your meat filling, the soup will melt once steamed. However your meat in the dumpling will release some meat juice too even if you don't add in soup jello

She's pronouncing her R's too prominently to be fully Aussie, I'd probably put it up to alot of time spent learning the language in America and also interacting with American tourists topped with a healthy smack Aussie to replace the majority of the accent. That being said, I can absolutely see her saying "so we went down to the bottle-o to get some goon in our thongs".
2:50 My parents and I immigrated from Hong Kong a few years ago and one thing my parents complained about in the States is the lack of soy taste in any soy-related products. Most Americans thought the soy milk in the States is what soy milk supposedly tastes like, wait till they go to Asian countries (like Taiwan) to taste what soy milk REALLY tastes like.
@@braydencox5914 It's a type of onion with the technical name being Allium tuberosum . It's typically eaten when it's younger, the stalk so to speak is chopped up about a 1cm long. When it grows older, the flowers bloom and I think it's a little spicy but at that point the stalk is too old and hard, less ideal than younger stalks.
Taiwanese food and culture is so underrated... I absolutely love that COUNTRY! I think Andrew summed it up correctly when he said "Damn it! I don't live in Taiwan!"
@@reist4rz not quite, dumplings typically have thin skin and are either pan fried or steamed, baozi have thick yet puffy skin but are exclusively steamed
moccy true! Fried one can be much more stinky. But there are definitely more than two types. Steamed stinky tofu is one of them that can be also smelly.

@@rainlol.9556 we dont need prooft cuz we already know that, EVERYONE DO, the reason why most foods are expensive is just because of how they made it, the ingredients and the quality.
And he didn't even realize that they published the equation wrong: at 11:21 they write: [(filling + soup/thickness of skin)x100], correct would have been [(filling + soup)x100/thickness of skin] or [(filling + soup)/thickness of skin]x100, as suggested in the paper from Chef Cavish. To only divide only the soup by the thickness of the skin as their equation suggests would be other madness. Me a chemist and economist myself.
I LOVE DIN TAI FUNG! I tried it when I was on vacation, my uncle suggested it, my family hesitated to try it a little because it's kinda overly expensive ( when the price got transfer to my country's currency ) however my uncle insisted that we should try it, saying it's extremely delicious. We got convinced and went there. Best dumplings I've ever had, the wrapper was super QQ, it was full of really nice soup, the fillings were amazing and very flavorful, totally reccommend
No one comments about how the last restaurant, they way the ensure quality is to pay their workers really well so that they can just enjoy their job. That's amazing

First time i saw him smile or even show emotion hahaha
"Doesnt andrew do language better"
Why she do him like that😂
How about "I'm not bougee". Steven can't get a break😂
It’s true tho, when Andrew and Steven attempt a non English word, the listener has always chosen Andrew to be closer in pronunciation so far
@@bearpetunia yea man but damm she mean as hell😂
Annie brings a different energy. Like just constant judging of all the nonsense Steven, Andrew, and Adam get into.
That's why i find her attractive 🤷♂️
I agree. Wish we could see her more on screen.

Facts
For some reason the waitresses voice was like...very shocking to me. It really caught me off guard with her accent
@@emilycoxe1584 I would guess she learned Australian English, hence the accent
Question: What was your favorite thing in this episode that was not a dumpling?
Answer: The waitress
She was sooo adorable
The new friend, Inga, and the waitress.
The pineapple cake
Everyone on TH-cam eating thousand-year-old-eggs: *puking* *choking* *spitting*
Andrew and Steven: mhhh
People overreacting for views mostly.
EpicGamer69 wait what, ive never seen any bad reactions to thousand year eggs
It’s good it taste like egg, but better
@@yowshiii3 but I have lol
They're not bad, they have a mild pungent nutty taste but they're creamier and I guess healthy?
Inga is most definitely bae. She's too cute.
Anne is way cuter. Inga is trying way too hard to be cute, and it's off putting ("SHAVED IIIIIIIICE"). Be authentic, it comes across on camera.
Yes, yes and yes.
Yes
I don't know my dudes. That waitress at the last place has stolen my heart.
@@mrdanthesnowman you must have never been in Asia.
Burns by Inga
“Im not boujee” 11:50
"Doesn't Andrew do language better?" 10:46
It's "bourgeois," comrade
Hahaha boujee the millennial way of saying it 😄
Being bourgeois is not a burn
@@abhimanyukarnawat7441 I mean, it is, though. It means you're wasteful, and live a lifestyle that isn't commensurate with what you've earned, which is harmful to yourself and others.
That waitress’s accent.... DID NOT see that coming haha
Joshua Price Australian do you think?
Yeah, that’s Aussie
I mean Taiwan is closer to Australia than it is USA or any European country so it kinda makes sense.
She's pronouncing her R's too prominently to be fully Aussie, I'd probably put it up to alot of time spent learning the language in America and also interacting with American tourists topped with a healthy smack Aussie to replace the majority of the accent. That being said, I can absolutely see her saying "so we went down to the bottle-o to get some goon in our thongs".
lol I get what you're saying
2:50 My parents and I immigrated from Hong Kong a few years ago and one thing my parents complained about in the States is the lack of soy taste in any soy-related products. Most Americans thought the soy milk in the States is what soy milk supposedly tastes like, wait till they go to Asian countries (like Taiwan) to taste what soy milk REALLY tastes like.
Inga: I’m not bougie.
Steven: :(
What did that mean?
9:58 is no one else shocked how that’s free? America would never.
Its just like a tester on supermarket maybe
Rebecca there’s quite a few places that give out free samples, Costco is probably the most common that do it on a regular basis.
Except for bread, but if you go to fancy restaurants, I think some are free if they're compliments of the chef or whatever they say.
Somewhat surprised by the quality and amount that's for free. Much better than ice cream places that give little tasters.
@@endylim4946 tester?
3:38 you know it’s good when Adam says something different than “it’s good”
Ms Liu, is the sweetest thing i’ve ever seen.
The perfect blend of loving grandmother and asian aunty.
She is perfect
Sorry Steven, but the waitress at the last joint was way more into Andrew.
Cos Steven is an asian
@@sidmenon8470 wouldnt that give steven an upperhand
@@air6665 not really if she's into whites
Marrying a white guy is the ultimate goal in asia. You’ll also be viewed as cooler.
Joke's on her. Both guys have girlfriends.
I felt that “this is .50 cents I don’t even have to be hungry” 😂🤣
Important to note the “chive” isn’t the American chive vegetable.
Alex Lee really? What is it instead? and is it also different when Chives are in something as Asian American restaurant?
Alex Lee thank you! Its more like a spice, mmh actually idk lol
@@braydencox5914 It's a type of onion with the technical name being Allium tuberosum
. It's typically eaten when it's younger, the stalk so to speak is chopped up about a 1cm long. When it grows older, the flowers bloom and I think it's a little spicy but at that point the stalk is too old and hard, less ideal than younger stalks.
@@bluemushroom415 thank you for this information
Wait what? What is the American chive vegetable ? Not the green onion type thing ?
Taiwanese food and culture is so underrated... I absolutely love that COUNTRY! I think Andrew summed it up correctly when he said "Damn it! I don't live in Taiwan!"
Taiwan ain't a country bro.
lol cope@@Bcooo
The waitress at the last restaurant is so adorable
I'm super impressed with her english, too!
Pretty sure that's a Kiwi accent too! 👍
Her accent blew me away.. but definitely grew up/around kiwis or Australians
Kai Jackson definitely has lived in australia before - the accent is australian
Yeah she's aussi
I love that Andrew never complains or judges any type of food no matter how weird it is
How weird it is *to him*
such a cool aussie waitress at the last dumpling place
The video: dumplings
First stop: baozi
Everyone who knows the difference: BRUH
EXACTLY
Well to people who never seen pan fried stuff buns it looks like a large size dumpling.
isn’t it basically a type of dumpling? sorry if i’m wrong
@@reist4rz not quite, dumplings typically have thin skin and are either pan fried or steamed, baozi have thick yet puffy skin but are exclusively steamed
@@superp2222 ohh ok thank you!
andrew is literally the only white person i’ve seen that ate stinky tofu and liked it, so proud :’)
He took it like a champ! Stinky tofu is delicious but most reactions had been quite dramatic.
This one was not that “stinky tofu” they freak out. Way better to be tried for their first bite tho.
@@zr7974 I know there are 2 stinky tofu: the braised one and the fried one. The fried one is delicious, even so most reactions had been quite strong.
moccy true! Fried one can be much more stinky. But there are definitely more than two types. Steamed stinky tofu is one of them that can be also smelly.
His parents are Ukrainian immigrants so I have a feeling he's been exposed to a lot more culture than most white guys
"This is so QQ!!"
-Andrew 2019
B.B. SAHA that’s kinda our version of “Kawaii” in Taiwan
QQ means chewy, bouncy for food :) Specially the noodles, dumplings and bubbles (bubble tea)
Abby from Wii Sports how’s baseball?
@@icyhugs ya i know...i just love how he says it
@Zihao Luo Yea I remember that brand I think they had grape flavored gummies, I wasn't really into soft gummies though.
Inga needs to be with them in all of their videos. She's stunning.
Agree.
Simp spotted
Dude you could have something like she’s funny but no you had to say she’s stunning
@@PetSymmetry you clearly don’t understand my comment. The person wrote that she needs to be in every video a sentiment I agree with. However their reasoning isn’t something like she’s smart or good at this it’s literally just saying she looks good.
@@PetSymmetry no but the fact that the only reason they gave was looks rubbed me the wrong way
Andrew's little comment of "Hi, I'm crispy!" has me rolling 😂
Me: Binges Worth it videos
TH-cam: Recommends other videos from BuzzFeed
Me: Dammit
The only good buzzfeed playlist
The only series of buzzfeed videos that are... worth it
Sorry not sorry.
Unfortunate side effect
Adam eats 1000 dollar dish its ok
Adams drinks soya milk 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Proof that money doesn't buy flavour 🤷🏻♀️
I ALWAYS LOVE HIS WIDE EYED EXPRESSION
@@rainlol.9556 we dont need prooft cuz we already know that, EVERYONE DO, the reason why most foods are expensive is just because of how they made it, the ingredients and the quality.
@@richmond2921 oof its just a comment chill-
@@rainlol.9556 no i know, i was just telling u, i just kinda sounded mad for some reason but trust me i wasnt.
Steven, a literal chemical engineer who worked on tide pods: “the quadratic formula was hard enough”
Wait really?
@@nmyhv1 Yes
@@nmyhv1yep, he was a chemical engineer for p&g
And he didn't even realize that they published the equation wrong:
at 11:21 they write: [(filling + soup/thickness of skin)x100], correct would have been [(filling + soup)x100/thickness of skin] or [(filling + soup)/thickness of skin]x100, as suggested in the paper from Chef Cavish.
To only divide only the soup by the thickness of the skin as their equation suggests would be other madness.
Me a chemist and economist myself.
Arno 😂😂😂😂true
It feels like Andrew was saving all his energy and emotion while in the State and just to release it altogether in this Taiwan trip.
When Adam reacts like that, you know it’s REALLY GOOD.
Who's been here since season 1 like if you are btw it's nice to see from season 1 theres only a 10 minute video and now its about 20 minutes
“Doesn’t Andrew do language better?” 😂
Racism detected
Jxshua Yuzn no racial discriminating comment was made
@@a.ffirmative When...? It's a running joke within the series, where's the racism?
Jxshua Yuzn speaking language is a linguistic ability. It’s a skill. How is it racist?
I LOVE DIN TAI FUNG! I tried it when I was on vacation, my uncle suggested it, my family hesitated to try it a little because it's kinda overly expensive ( when the price got transfer to my country's currency ) however my uncle insisted that we should try it, saying it's extremely delicious. We got convinced and went there. Best dumplings I've ever had, the wrapper was super QQ, it was full of really nice soup, the fillings were amazing and very flavorful, totally reccommend
