Everything , Its all too good

[@DrooliusFilms]

Chewy balls and tea ceremony 🔥

[@AileenJ-o3s]

I don’t know if you’re gonna see this comment please don’t judge me because of my age but I am in the fourth grade and flying alone with flight attendants. I have a big stomach, so can you recommend me some food to pack for the trip? It’s gonna be a 10 hour flight alone.

[@CB-zd2dn]

​@@AileenJ-o3sI just saw your question and my thoughts would be if you bring the noodle soup bowls that you add hot water to you could ask for hot water they give for tea and have noodle soup and then just pack a bunch of snacks granola bars etc. Hope this helps ❤

[@DrooliusFilms]

All the food looks so good! Really enjoyed the chill vibe of this travel and food video. More please!

[@Jeanelleats]

Awww thanks Julius! Have you been to Taiwan before?

[@DrooliusFilms]

@@Jeanelleats I haven’t been yet. I have a friend who just moved there with her family and she’s raising kids there. So much good food from the restaurants and night markets I want to experience!

[@minh0828]

Just went to Taipei! Trip was a bit too short for me to travel to jiufen. Last time I went was in 2018. Thanks for the wonderful video though! Miss travelling already.

[@kauigirl808]

I love Taiwanese food ❤ I live in So Cal, Taiwanese community, so I get to eat all this food everyday. I hope to go to Taiwan soon!!

[@yuzi1759]

I once again recommend the black pepper buns from a night market if y’all haven’t tried it yet! Happy to see yall enjoying all this food

[@GodsLoveBeWithYou]

So much stuff with a QQ texture they call it (bouncy, chewy). Looks amazing 😭😭

[@Jeanelleats]

idk why but "QQ" is the perfect description!

[@MoonstoneSummer]

That peanut ice cream roll looks amazing! I would love to try it ❤

[@Jeanelleats]

it was seriously so gooood!

[@SunnyIlha]

I love Taiwan food.

[@Jeanelleats]

me tooo!

[@joshdewoody]

I’m Filipino but never really got into learning how to make these desserts etc but I’m so into it now and I love your channel/website! I wanna make all the ube thingsss

[@deborahdenton6851]

Fun video. Thanks Jeanelle 😊

[@yodatea8073]

Went to jiufen last year! Highhhhly recommend to go if y’all haven’t been (though the steps do get really tiring on a hot day lol) the vibe is unreal 3:00 personally this was a bit overhyped. I ordered the one with ice and there was barely any taro balls :( 8:05 omg I REALLY wanted to try thissss I didn’t have the opportunity tho 😭😭 The food in this vid looked so good. I wonder if you would go to China for a food adventure? :D

[@Jeanelleats]

i would LOVE to visit China for food! But I need to go with a guide. Preferably a friend who can speak the language

[@stevie12marie]

Was just talking about this!!

[@Melza01]

Yum

[@alexengweiler5550]

Second!! ( i just subbed )

[@Jeanelleats]

Thanks for the sub! It helps a lot!!!

[@Reader486]

Good video. However, Jiufen is not the inspirational location for Spirted Away. Director Miyazaki has already debunked this false info years ago. There is no connection between Jiufen and Spirited Away. If anyone wants to see the bathhouse that was the inspiration for the movies bathhouse setting visit Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama, Japan.

[@Jeanelleats]

I mention this in the video! Its crazy how it was almost a mining ghost town until tourism changed its fate.

[@GodsLoveBeWithYou]

The resemblance is insane though - there's even a gold mining tunnel in Jiufen with a red circular entrance like the one in the film

[@Cindy-s2k]

1989年一部電影「悲情城市」復活了這個小鎮成為當地人熱門旅遊景點，後來「千尋的故事」讓更多外國人來了

[@ganky6]
