12 Must Try Taiwanese Dishes When You Visit Taipei City in 2024

[@ghjlyy]

好狂！第一次看外國youtubr用自己的語言介紹台灣美食，拍的好棒❤❤❤這樣外國人才能真的了解台灣的美食🎉🎉🎉

[@6969xxoo-og4do]

厲害很少外國人這麼懂吃台灣的食物😅

[@hungrytoexplore]

That would make sense wouldn’t it

[@莊詠詒-u2f]

出國就是要多嘗試當地食物，不然就錯過許多不曾嘗試過得味道❤

[@Freda0725]

Watching your video makes me homesick🥲🥲🥲(And hungry as well)

[@Andytizer]

Very impressed you sampled all this variety in Taiwan!

[@hungrytoexplore]

The food was too good to miss :)

[@donmaarko]

Enjoyed this video, didn't realize there is such a banging Gua Bao down in Wanhua near the snake alley, that will be getting scranned this weekend. I've subscribed, glad you liked Taiwan, and good to eventually see other Brits realize Taiwan exists and is a mega destination, gets overlooked (rightly for some people I guess) by it's more famous neigbours, Japan, South Korea, China and Hong Kong, plus nearly all of South East Asia. You really did a good job of giving an overview of the cuisine here.

[@hungrytoexplore]

thank you so much! I am glad I visited, I will definitely be back, that is for sure

[@beleen8507]

謝謝您的介紹台灣美食。希望您在台灣旅遊愉快。

[@hungrytoexplore]

thank you!! I absolutely love it, I cannot wait to come back

[@EricYeh-o7j]

Hey Joe wish you a great time in Taiwan. Next time you should travel with a companion and it would be more fun to enjoy the Taiwan food together 😉You have taken a lot of time to introduce all the Taiwanese food in details ! Yes all the food you eat like pepper buns, guo bao, scallion pancake, beef noodle soup, shen jian bao and soup dumplings are all very common food that Taiwan people eat pretty often. If you still in Taiwan, I would recommend you to try different styles of hot pot in Taiwan since it is almost winter time now and its actually a hot pot season in Taiwan now. There are many different styles of soup base of hot pot with your own choice of adding different meat and vegetable ingredients to the soup base. Commons one there is the Mala style ( spicy) hot pot , Pickled Cabbage Pork meat slice hot Pot ( soup is sour flavour like hot and sour soup), Shabu Shabu or Sukiyai ( Japanese style hot pot), Chinese herbs soup base hot pot, White Pepper Sour cabbage soup based hot pot, Mutton ( lamb meat) hot pot with Chinese herb soup base, and Ginger Duck hot pot ( Traditional Taiwan style). In terms of sauce you gotta try the Shacha Sauce ( it is the very common hot pot sauce in Taiwan) and mix with soy sauce and you can add garlic or Chinese onions into the sauce. Enjoy !

[@hungrytoexplore]

oh, I am hungry just reading your comment, I definitely need to come back to Taiwan and explore more, that is for sure

[@superraygun8006]

You should mind your own business

Wow, you are an expert on the ingredients.

真的好懂吃，介紹到真正在地美食跟小吃，而且拍攝煮過程講解口感也很棒，也很懂得吃法，小籠包還有使用所以食物的調味料也很專業，超厲害👍

[@hungrytoexplore]

ah I am glad I did it right! It was my first time in Taiwan, so I was learning as I go!

[@Stoids5]

Awesome video Joe. Every time I see one of your videos pop up my urge to quit my job and travel again starts to get stronger. Taiwan is high up there on the list for me!

[@hungrytoexplore]

thank you! I don't want to influence you... but... do it!! You will not regret it, you can always earn more money haha

[@AlexNomadHuang]

i like the style in your video. clear information and chilling.

[@hungrytoexplore]

thank you :)

Taiwan has the best street food in the world

Love Taiwanese food😊

[@hungrytoexplore]

Me too!!

[@廖嘉豐-f9m]

Welcome your team visiting Taiwan

[@agustinabasso7983]

Impressed by Taiwan's food options! Great vlog, Joe! 😊

[@hungrytoexplore]

Thank you Agustina! It surprised me by how good the food was there actually

[@janie7242]

If you try that pepper bun for the first time, well, quite spicy. All the foods were Taiwanese street foods. Different than the Western-style snacks. Glad you like them, but U should try more formal eateries for another kind of yummy food. 🤭😋

[@tonylee7463]

懂吃，謝謝你喜歡台灣的食物，祝福你天天吃美食幸福平安喜樂

[@GGRAGON]

THANKS YOU LOVE TAIWAN

The way he savors these iconic street foods shows he's been around for a while and knows exactly what he's doing 😁

[@hungrytoexplore]

It was my first ever trip to Taiwan and first time eating Taiwanese food 😂😅

[@Tina-gs9ph]

⁠@@hungrytoexploreyou’re description towards the ingredients of the food is so accurate!!

[@hungrytoexplore]

@@Tina-gs9ph thank you :) that is a big compliment - I need to come back and eat more

[@Feifei38]

you went to the most famous places in taipei. The dumpling place is the BEST in Taipei. Cheap too

[@susanw179]

You are so much more articulate, knowledgeable about food, and have much better eating etiquette than Mark W! I will be exploring your other videos tonight. I appreciate you, and wish you much sucesss with your food blogging!

[@Fabuloushu]

Not a lot of foreigners like the 藥燉排骨 . I am glad you like it. I think the sweetness is from Crystal Sugar.

[@TeddyWang-bf7um]

我覺得台灣最好吃的是 米糕排骨筍湯湯 牛肉麵 天婦羅 羊肉爐 薑母鴨 烤鴨 台式牛排 火鍋 (豬血糕 不算主食) 炒米粉 快炒．．．．．．．．

[@Neilschlighter]

Hi Joe! I enjoyed your video very much, it is fun to see tourist experiencing food that are very familiar to us taiwanese people. I would like to point out that the number 10 is not wheelcake or 車輪餅 as you think. Wheelcake is a smaller round snack originated from Japan. However, the snack you're eating at huayin street is called 麥仔煎(Mai Zai Jian), 麵粉煎(Mian Fen Jian) or 免煎嗲(Mian Jian Die), etc. Based on which part of Taiwan they're from, taiwanese people have tons of name for this snack, lol. According to my research, I guess, the closest translation I can find will be "Turnover Pancake", which is also a kind of snack that can be found in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia. Hope that helps😊

[@meiliangwu]

I am really admire your appreciation for such authentic Taiwanese food. Now I know how to cook Pork Liver to make it tender and tasty.

[@kwonglie214]

GOOD JOBS VERY PERFECT INFORMATION THANKS YOU FROM BOISE IDAHO USA

[@dunnbrandon]

I can easily expand your list to at least 100 must try Taiwanese food. Boba, breakfast rice ball (Taiwan breakfast another category all to itself), cold noodle, stinky tofu, pork blood rice cake, hot pot, Taiwanese sasusage, oil rice,…etc

[@hungrytoexplore]

you are right haha but I was only there a week, I must come back!

[@flytoinfinityvivi]

我這住在紐西蘭的台灣人半夜看都想馬上飛回去吃了 拍太讚了!!!

[@enie1001]

Very nice introduction of the food hmmmm yummy 👍🤤🤤🤤

[@frontiere1246]

That skin of green dumpling is made by spinach😊,not seaweed.

[@theroamingcook]

Best compilations in the business

[@hungrytoexplore]

Thanks my man!

[@DiegoL105]

My goodness, Joe really knows how to describe Taiwanese food.

[@jim.pearsall]

Scallions, spring onions, green onions, shallots: the American version is good; the British too; I’d avoid calling those “shallots” as they sometimes do in Australia.

[@hungrytoexplore]

Yeah for me they are definitely not shallots. Spring onions is what I know them as

[@jamiel6405]

Where’s Taiwanese omelet?! And mango slushy?? And big sausage wrap little sausage 😋

[@zillsburyy1]

29:00 reminds me of that place down the street from my hotel FU HONG BEEF NOODLES its open 24 hours a day

[@724F-u1v]

you'd be surprised that the beef soup is the one with 5 spice, while the herbal soup doesnt. herbal soup likely has 十全 ("ten complete" literally) spices though.

[@zillsburyy1]

lol they always grant you exclusive access behind the kitchen.

[@Nonofyourbus]

The reason why I can't live in Europe....

[@Fabuloushu]

[@motsbane]

Like your video! I will be there in Oct. thanks for the introduction and price.

[@Abbey4294]

The kidney ginger soup is much better than the liver soup.

[@venternicky9599]

I love dumplings and stinky tofu❤

[@miayle9545]

24:30 Glad to see you try this, not many foreign tourists/youtubers try this. the sweetness may come from the meat :)

[@hungrytoexplore]

oh it is really delicious! Love things like that

[@shammuk02]

The best foods in Taiwan r actually seafoods near the coast ... those r where real chefs like to eat

[@Lifeinapp]

I had the cracked pepper bun last night. There was a small line of people at 5pm. By the time i left an hour later the line had tripled lol very popular

[@hungrytoexplore]

it is good, right? Yeah, the smart move is to get there early and beat the crowds

[@張書維-s7z]

You are a very fair and objective reviewer, but you need a tour guide

[@anmin2600]

​@@hungrytoexplore台灣的飲食方式是固體食物+液體湯或飲料或酒類組合才是開打方式。例如：雞排+珍奶或刈包+四神湯。你可隨意搭配這樣才能享受到食物組合絕佳口感。😊

It‘s awesome when you were eating the cranberry-pineapple cake, you said it doesnt matter what it is but “when it’s so good, just eat it”. 😂。Yup, that‘s Taiwanese food for you. It’s so good, just eat it and enjoy it! Hope you had a good trip in Taiwan

Thank7 in Taiwan Amen 🙏

[@eva80076]

Although they are all things I have eaten before, when I saw your video, I felt like buying them. Especially the flavor of Custard Sauce, which I have never tried before. I want to try it, although the taste is still imaginable❤ And the food you picked is all representative of Taiwanese food, which is great!

24:03 那不是中國香料 是一種對身體很好的藥材去熬煮的排骨湯 湯才是這道食物的精華 不全在於肉 希望對你有幫助 ^_^

是的這些藥材亞洲多個國家有使用，只是每個地方使用在什麼東西上有所不同。

You are really a food master!👍 only one thing I can suggest the Soup Dumpling need Explore in your mouth not in the 🥄 spoon. The taste is totally different.
