Ay-Chung Flour-Rice Noodles - LEGENDARY Taiwanese Street Food in Ximending, Taipei, Taiwan (Day 6)

[@jumpingjoy23]

Hands down my favourite Taiwanese food! I can eat this every day!

[@ncnorthbound]

During the Vietnam War, my husband was in Taipei with the Air Force for a year and I was able to go with him.WE so enjoyed the food both eating out and fresh market food. I would love to go back!!!!

[@IcyShard1001]

I can feel the rainbow coming out of my mouth

[@zillsburyy1]

XIMENDING is my favorite vacaton spot. its not too big and yet offers everything!!!

[@TrinaMCay]

Tea egg is one of my favorite foods in Taiwan!!! I love Taiwan and enjoyed my stay there some years ago!! People are very nice and warm too!

[@livesimple8441]

It’s been 7 yrs since the last time I was there and man how I missed the food and the city of Taipei😀 I wish I can come back

[@franniebabe]

You should make a Q&A for you and ying together. I think the more we know you guys the more we would love u.. Cheers

[@maramusa7560]

[@luisanadiaz88]

Mark can't seem to catch a break in this video but he remains ever cheerful.

[@maytalo9158]

me and my husband love watching you and your wife eat. You guys make us hungry lol

[@gilbrand9240]

lol.. the bathroom, i like how you always gives very natural descriptions of things

[@AgustinSantinoFLeido]

Im a Filipino citizen working here in Taiwan. this rice noodle with oyster is one of my favorite food here

[@CarlitoQuion]

Ms. Ying is so cute... please include her in your videos... she is so gentle and so modest...

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

You should film Yuing in more of your videos. She is delightful and pretty!

[@jessiechia3530]

She is and cute

[@niveditakundu2555]

I just watch your videos for your head tilts and your awesome expressions.... and of course the food.

[@James1230]

We stayed in Ximending area in Taipei. It's one of thr cheapest hotel in the area. And it went beyond my expectation. The hotel room has complete facilities, from slippers, to hair dryers up to washing machines. Better than the 4-star hotel where I stayed before. Though there was an inconvenience happened, it was all paid out when we started exploring! People are nice. When you ask something they will really approach you and if they sense you really need helped, they will really give an effort, which we appreciate a lot. I miss Taiwan already. Four days is not enough. I want to go back.

[@terranoir3522]

Mark, you are awesome keep up the good work man!! It's always amazing to watch your videos, so amazing that i can't wait for the next one! Don't ever stop doing this please

[@MarkWiens]

Young Lion Thank you very much, really appreciate it.

[@Phil132]

Your vlogs are the best! Easy to multi-watch. :)

[@patrickkim6357]

Going to Taipei tomorrow, lovely video always Mark&Ying.

[@TheRealHero1]

Taiwanese food is one of my favorites, they are very high quality and delicate with a mix of Chinese, Japanese, local and other influences mixed in. but I can understand why Mark doesn't seem as crazy about them as he is with Thai food. He's used to the spicy and sour and herby flavors of south east asia cusine, he likes lots of flavors and doesn't like if the food is too bland or sweet.

[@MarkWiens]

TheRealHero1 Thank you very much for watching and for the comment. Yah, I think the Thai and other Southeast Asian flavors are my favorite, but I still love the braised flavors and the Chinese foods in Taiwan as well.

[@blackhorse7553]

Mark Wiens. I like Thai and southeast asia taste as well.👍

[@metalalive2006]

Majority of local Taiwanese people are not really into spicy food, when they claim that it's spicy, it's actually like a bit of heat like putting tiny bit of bird eye chilli

[@lisacastano1064]

@@metalalive2006 unless you're like my mom lol she loved spicy food. 😉

[@perdomot]

That bathroom looked interesting. I can imagine Ying and her sister whispering and giggling as you toweled yourself dry. LOL Noodles looked OK so I'm assuming you have to taste them to appreciate. So funny to see you eating at a place like 7-11. Your reactions to the new bathroom are priceless.

[@MarkWiens]

Perdomot Thanks, yah probably true. I had no idea our bathroom was going to come with a Japanese seat, amazing!

[@judylam9592]

You have the best expression when you are eating something super delicious! It is a joy just to watch you enjoy your food. Gives me a smile to watch your videos after a long work day. My friends and I will be going in 2 months to Taipei and all your tips will really help us plan our trip! Thank you!!!

[@MarkWiens]

Judy Lam Really appreciate it Judy, thank you for watching, and good to hear you'll be going to Taipei soon.

[@leon692211]

我是台灣人，但看你吃東西的表情好陶醉，我半夜都肚子餓了!哈哈

[@eltjguy8496]

Even a simple egg looks delicious! Thanks for the good vibes

[@cabanatuan95]

For some reason, I found it a bit humorous when you said And I've got a banana.

[@gabtng]

Thanks for your uploads mark! I really enjoy your videos

[@suekehr6091]

Really interesting to watch these videos from you two.

[@gunthiratrakoolchai6931]

[@drishasinha]

I just love chillies. :D They enhance the taste of the dish beautifully.

[@duongsharp]

[@saoher8558]

I totally miss those noodles and that shop! I can't wait to go back and eat my next bowl! Thanks for sharing!

[@donnacopas9621]

Mark and Ying, A beautiful video. I am so jealous that I did not get to see all of Tiawan that you have shown. I did not get past the train station. So wonderful. I just got to view it via your eyes. Thanks so much!

[@CrunchyTofu]

I love that type of noodles. The place I would go to get that has been gone for a while now and I miss it so much.

[@MarkWiens]

CrunchyTofu Good to hear that, too bad that old place is gone.

[@eric7421]

I love to watching travel vlogs that shows the local food, places, and cultures. I recently found your videos on KZbin and I couldn't stop watching it, so I subscribed to your channel. Thank you for making the videos, showing us many places and food. I enjoy it very much. I especially love to watch it while I eat :)

[@BAdventures]

Nice coverage of the public transport and hotels. At least you had the Ay-Chung noodles =)

[@YoniMaiMatkovsky]

Lovely 👍mark your wife she is so cool we need to see her more in your amazing videos 👋

[@raphaelchen7906]

Thanks for sharing!! The oyster flour noodle soup is really good. I like to eat it with lots of chili sauce and add some parsley and Taiwanese style preserved vegetable to make it more favorable.

[@satarupadebnath5565]

your each and every video is incredibly good.Just keep it up Mark.

[@ramthatikonda8020]

[@learndrivesurvive8544]

Love watching your vlogs Mark. You and Ying seem to make a great couple. Whenever I sit to watch your vlogs DAILY, my 2 boys always run in as soon as they hear the your intro music haha. Keep up the great work you do.

[@MarkWiens]

Dee S Hey Dee, thank you very much, really appreciate it. Say hello to your boys as well.

[@neilsimon544]

I like seeing you and Ying in the scenes together....ya'll were made for each other it's obvious. Great vlog again.

[@MarkWiens]

Neil Simon Thank you very much Neil, I'm really happy to be with her and travel with her!

[@neilsimon544]

Mark Wiens I don't know if you do it now or you might be thinking about it but you should have your own TV show. I would be happy if you just do what youre doing now but just for the financial side of it. You don't seem like a person who cares about money over happiness. But youre definitely charismatic and you have great pronunciation and presence. Just sayin'....You could be epic on TV. Good luck with whatever you do in the future.

[@pujapooja9042]

your all videos are awesome 👌 👏 👏

[@bullwingsc6216]

Your videos are great! I am so looking forward to visiting Taiwan and trying all the awesome night markets.

[@lolingirl2005]

Taiwan looks very nice and clean....The food looks delicious 😉

[@Newnomads]

I really appreciate the 'logistical' parts you add in...

[@MarkWiens]

New-Nomads Thank you!

[@autumn007]

Can't wait for the video of the food after traveling all day! Looks so good!

[@MarkWiens]

Alexis Yaj Thanks Alexis

[@terrypalmore7314]

I sort of like it when things go wrong. you teach me,oh wise traveler, what to do. 7-11 tea egg and banana, ah-so! The up and coming vlog meal looks good. One of the buttons on the toilet heats the seat! LOL

[@adoaTW]

7-11 in Taiwan has been known as one-stop junk food station. They are everywhere in Taiwan.

[@nikkioxo]

That looks amazing!

[@Robbyjubbly]

Looking forward to the video for that dinner, it looks fantastic!

[@MarkWiens]

Matthew Lo Thank you Matthew

[@soerajdramnath3907]

great video mark

[@yuletyar9101]

This looks so satisfying Mark i'll definately go there when i go to Taiwan. I first tried this in KLIA2 air port in Malaysia while i was in my long transit. And i buy this meal everytime i transit there. But there isn't any pork pieces like yours. So travellers out there if you want this dish in KLIA2 it's in Level 2 Shop No.34! I had it as a set meal with smoke plum juice and sweet potatoes fries in total 17.50RM which is 4.10$. The shop name is Shihlin Taiwan Sweet Snacks. Oh you can only go to this shop and it's building if you only go through the the immigration and luggage claim.

[@justjacqueline2004]

Fod and more delicious fascinating food from wonderful Taipei .

[@brettscott8288]

Mark Wiens LOL thanks for that Mark, would've been funny though. My wife and I can't get enough of your videos...we like to put on a playlist and just go through them. Also, hate to admit it, but the McD's sign in the lower right hand corner looked appetizing!;)

[@flashcraft]

Ying is cute. I think Mark is a very smart guy. :D

[@michielfm]

Hey Mark, awesome videos you got there on Taiwan really great! I'm leaving in a couple of day from Belgium to go study for 6 months at the National Taiwan University. I'm a real foodie and I was wondering if you have maybe got a list or something with must visit foodie places such as restaurants or farms or... That would be very convenient :D

[@patrickcarroll7185]

[@Yogirliej4dee]

[@chieh887]

9:54 忠泰 Chong-Tai is a very classical restaurant in Taipei city, these dishes not only delicious also inexpensive. 👍 by the way the rice is free, I went to there so many times even now live abroad still miss those dishes🤤

[@davidshen8509]

Mark u need to come visit my hometown Tainan, that's where all the delicious street foods are.

[@MarkWiens]

David Shen Hey David, yah I really wanted to come, but ran out of time. I hope to visit on next trip.

[@davidshen8509]

Mark Wiens Hey Mark thanks for the reply. I watched all 12 days of your Taiwan videos and they were really great, they also reminded me of my visits to Taipei. I enjoyed ur last video the most since u ordered the milkfish, which is the fish exclusively grown in Tainan, thus, u will love ur food vlogging in Tainan if you decide to come one day. Another famous ingredient in Tainan is the locally grown beef, I guarantee you would fall in love with it. Keep more of those great videos coming, xie-xie!

[@deketk5227]

I'm so glad I tried it but I didn't see the condiments because it was so crowded. Would try with condiments next time I go Taipei

[@flamewingman1231]

Nice video!
