Eating Taiwan's Century Egg in Chiayi 🇹🇼

[@LayersOfJenn]

*Don't forget to like this video* Have you ever eaten a "Century Egg" !? They are made by storing raw eggs for a few months in a mixture of weed, ash, salt, and lime with either tea, or clay (via google).

[@lpm827]

I wanna try one! I love trying new different things. I'm glad I get to live vicariously through you, thanks! 💚💚💚

[@LayersOfJenn]

Usually it’s eaten in a rice porridge here !! I want to try that way~

[@jethrolai]

@@LayersOfJenn in Taiwan it's also common to eat it with cold tofu, bonito flakes and soy sauce. very common appetizer. I didn't like it at all when I was little but now I love it. It does not have a strong taste but you still need to acquire it to appreciate it. Also, I've almost never eaten it alone. You eat it always with something.

[@je1982]

My mum will sliced century egg into cubes and mixed it into beaten egg and salted egg. Fried it and served it as omelette (I can't stand it's smell but when it is mixed into omelette, it's very yummy 😋 )

[@LayersOfJenn]

@@jethrolai The one i had came with tofu as well~

Your videos make me miss Taiwan sooo much!! I loved shopping at Hola, Carrefour and the Net! I still have so many clothes so got from Net. Turkey rice was one of our favorite quick meals too. glad to see you’re having fun exploring!

[@LayersOfJenn]

The net location I went to in Chiayi was nice and I liked that one! The location I went to in Zhubei though was a bit smaller. I can’t wait to go ham in carrefour next time I’m in need of groceries

[@yfllll]

I miss wax apples so much. You can’t find it in the US at all. My aunt once managed to grow one in California but only got two tiny fruits the size of a strawberry and she sent it to us on the east coast. It was so good but we each only got an extremely tiny bite. I can’t wait for quarantine to lift fully so I can visit Taiwan again

[@zenithian15]

I love learning about Taiwan (from both the video and the comments)! And I'd definitely try the "Century Egg", since I tend to enjoy "acquired" tastes (e.g. natto). haha

[@LayersOfJenn]

Haha I forgot that you like natto! An acquired taste I never really developed lol

[@A33998]

Those coffee shops were so cute! And rose apples? I had no idea such a fruit existed, it looks delicious!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yes!! They are called by many different names like: rose apple, wax apple, jambu, watery guava, lian wu, etc!! It’s my favourite fruit here in Taiwan!

[@moozillamoo2109]

They are great but very delicate. That's why it's hard to find them in places far away.

Interesting video! Carrefour is French, I didn't know they had them over in Taiwan! They're normally just grocery stores but the bigger ones do have some house stuff too. I live in rural France and the one in my village is basically a corner store! I've never had a century egg but I brought back some black eggs from Hakone that were cooked in the hot springs. They were goooood!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Ohhh the Hakone eggs are delicious and the only thing really different from them is the outside it black !! And I had no idea carrefour was french 😂 it’s *amazing* inside!

Haha I’ve had a few Taiwanese people ask me if I could eat it and, now I can gladly say I can!! I feel like it’s like natto in japan. It’s one of the most common questions Japanese people asked me: “Can you eat natto??” (The answer is no 😅)

[@amariafrost]

@@LayersOfJenn Same for me. I've tried natto a few different times and the answer is always nope.

[@Kanxieryi]

10:12 Taiwanese table manner is very important to a Taiwanese in a formal dinner. It always shows your attitude, or education, or how this guy been raised up. It is similar to Japan's education. For Taiwan's traditional table manner, you always lift up your bowl to your mouth. Even you use a spoon for the rice or soup, you lift up your bowl to your mouth. You never bend down your neck and back to the food on the table. This is very different to Western table manner. Today, Taiwanese people may not be so serious to other people's table manner when they are having street food. Taiwanese are easy going, so they will not ask Foreigner to follow all the table manner in Taiwanese way. But it is always good to know some of them. Another big offend that you never want to do is " Never put your chopsticks or spoon, or fork into rice bowl and make it upright. It means it is for dead people's food."

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yes in japan we also never ever stabbed our rice etc with the chopsticks like that!! And thank you for the Taiwanese table manners advice :)

No, it doesn't matter you lift up your bowl or put it on table. Table manners are casual in Taiwan.

@@weihanho9917 It is indeed pretty casual most of time. I did not say when you don't do it, you will be considered as having bad manner; instead, if you do do it, you will seem having a good manner.

Kelsi May凱西莓 is another KZbinr in Taiwan who's from Canada. Just FYI 😉

[@LayersOfJenn]

I’ve been having others also suggest her to me!! I would love for people to suggest me to her also 👌🏻. I would *love* to be able to speak Chinese like her one day 🥺♥️

[@chrissyh7706]

​@@LayersOfJenn I just left her a comment about you 😉 Hopefully you guys can get in touch. I'm enjoying your videos while sitting in the freezing cold in Canada 😂

[@LayersOfJenn]

@@LayersOfJenn Luke Martin (Chopstick Travel) was in TW for quite sometime. He went all over the places in Taiwan for eating. :-)

I'm so amazed/impressed by how non-plussed you were about the century egg. I really wanted to like it I swear but damn the smell is INTENSE 😂

[@LayersOfJenn]

Maybe I didn’t take a big enough whiff !? Natto is like that for me though.. I really *really* don’t like the smell.

[@taipaige8492]

Come to Taichung next!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Soon!! :)

I was expecting more of Thailand/ China vibes, but it is totally closer to Japan! 😲 Maybe next time ve go for holidays will be Taiwan 😏

[@ej9806]

Southern Taiwan beaches are more like Thailand, but the cities look like China/Japan fusion

[@LayersOfJenn]

I think it probably depends on where you go :)

[@LayersOfJenn]

I cannot wait to get to southern Taiwan!!

[@KM-gp2yz]

I mean it's a developed country on the level of Korea/japan etc. and they are very influenced by Japanese culture.

[@MrAlvinSinfulSong]

The Hinoki Village is really beautiful (when I was there) :D

[@MrAlvinSinfulSong]

The Turkey Rice is delicious (ate there and was late for the bus) ;D

[@LayersOfJenn]

I haven’t had turkey in so long so, it was super delicious!! And I want to go back and go to Alishan~ I see they get cherry blossoms in the spring 👀👀

[@MrAlvinSinfulSong]
