Extremely Popular Taiwanese Food - 40 POTS AT A TIME!! | Best Restaurants in Taipei!

[@楊展-b8d]

Hi Mark, Welcome to Taiwan. I am from Taipei and I can assure you that the restaurants you've visited so far are very authentic. Your team really dug into Taiwanese culture and brought you the true Taiwanese everyday experience. Fantastic job!!

Tip for those like me who are not Mark or do not have 7 friends with them, or cant get a reservation at Ji Yuan, they have a second restaurant G-Woo where you can buy the same chicken dish in multiple portion sizes from 1 person up 400twd. I cant say it's exactly the same as I missed Ji Yuan but hard to fathom the mothership could be much better, oh wow!

[@chengj6085]

thank you so much for your tip! i’m having solo trip in taipei, gonna try G-woo cause I absolutely cannot finish the large portion haha

[@leecort4705]

Mark is such a friendly and positive guy

[@Birdaily]

Mark is really a foodie. He knows what the locals would actually eat, instead of going to shops that are only known for tourists.

[@FlavorofMind]

Agree! I would say that's even his specialty - finding the wonderful foods that locals really eat 🙂

[@Michael-D-or-MD]

[@lonesomealaskan2599]

The fact that we get free food & travel videos on KZbin by Mark is truly a gift. 👏👏👏

[@angeluscorpius]

Between 1:35 when Mark mentions there must be at least 50 pots going, and 2:03 when he mentions that there are 38 to 40 pots, Mark had consumed over 10 pots of chicken soup! And he's still so slim!

[@KingOrr06]

Yeah I was confused on what the actual count was

[@Niamhbuck8]

That chicken soup looks like it would warm up the coldest of hearts! I bet it smells amazing 😍

[@tamagomaniac]

The ginger duck soup makes your body warm up immediately, a perfect comfort food in the winter.

[@FlavorofMind]

I really would love to try this in winter time 🙂 but also anytime! 😅

[@liebfraumilch3518]

but the soup bowl is too terrible!! looks not clean at all!!

Thanks for the awesome video! We’re heading to Taiwan in a few days to bring home the two children we’re adopting, and this definitely gave us some good food options to check out while we’re there! Thanks, again!

[@elifdesimone854]

You’ve gained a subscriber here, looking forward to your videos!

[@maryborn7806]

I love the customers in the background of this series paying zero attention to Marc because they are so into their incredible Taiwanese meals. Taiwanese chicken soup looks next level good.

[@sothedramallama]

I’m a huge foodie but I’m also a picky eater and don’t eat meat. Discovering Mark Wiens has been amazing because I get to experience all these delicious dishes without having to eat them. And not only do we get to learn about just these delicious foods, but we get a history/culture lesson as well! I’ve also been inspired to try my hand at making some of the things he eats veg/vegan friendly. Never stop making videos. Your passion is infectious!

[@miayle9545]

Taiwan has a lot of vegetarian and vegan restaurants. I think someone even made an APP for that. Search out on KZbin, many vegans recommend it.

[@janvdb9258]

I have a question and it is not a jab at veganism but pure curiosity if you don't mind? Why do vegans try to mimic meat dishes instead of just cooking and eating veggies as they are? If meat is a no no, why try to recreate it?

[@Kungpowbeats]

@@janvdb9258 that would depend on person to person. My mum hates the taste and texture of meat and always has and so doesn't enjoy fake meat. Other people might be a vegan for conscientious reasons, like concerns for the environment or animal welfare, but still enjoy the texture and flavour but have decided to give it up . Meat substitutions might satisfy cravings for those who still enjoy meat but have decided to give it up.

[@janvdb9258]

@@Kungpowbeats thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@sothedramallama]

@@janvdb9258just now seeing this! It’s varies from person to person. I used to eat meat and sometimes find myself craving a hot dog and the plant based ones, on occasion, really do hit the spot. I, for the most part, tend to steer clear of them though. Other people, like my mom, hate all the fake meat like products.

[@jessieyang6079]

Hi Mark, I'm from Taipei. I have been following your channel for quite some time. I can tell your team does a tremendous job. All the restaurants and street foods you visited in Taipei so far are very iconica and authentic. My dad took my family to these places to eat all the time. What a fantastic job!!!!!

[@FlavorofMind]

They really do quite an amazing job! I think the editing on these recent episodes has just been awesome. And the food... makes me want to go to Taiwan again! 😅

[@PatricioTv-]

👏🏻

[@papipapi2301]

that's enough

[@Angelique218]

Jessie, given the choice to select just one, which would you go for, the whole chicken hot pot or the duck hot pot?

[@jessieyang6079]

@@Angelique218 definitely the whole chicken soup place. Note that this is not a hot pot restaurant.

This is my favorite chicken soup restaurant, and you found the pan-fried bao, which I went a couple of times. Good job, Mark, you really eat like a local. The ginger duck hot pot is only for Winter; glad you like it.

Ginger Duck Hot Pot is super famous food for cold winter, help us to warm our body. This is a very local taiwanese food.

[@giovannalbradley]

WOW now that's what I call chicken soup! Mark Weins you are definitely one fortunate man🤗

Great to see this video with the chicken soup and claypot. I certainly want to visit Taiwan. Please continue with more food visits in Taiwan!

Dear Mark, this is the best series you've done so far. The food you've eaten looks so healthy and delicious. Total food paradise. Thanks again for your efforts in showing us the world. Kind regards,

[@jannyhuang4397]

Thank you Mark! The food looks fantastic! Now I really want to visit Taiwan!

[@alice44354435]

love so much your introduction of Taipei. Looking forward to more video of Taiwan from Mark is so fantastic.

[@tamagomaniac]

The Ji Yuan restaurant really is the restaurant I bring my foreign friends to. The soup, I don’t call it soup anymore it’s more like essence. The rich collagen makes your upper and lower lips stick together, normal chicken soup can never.

[@liantoy]

Ginger duck hot pot can only be found in Taiwan. It is a very local Taiwanese dish, especially during wintertime. Normally these restaurants do not run the business in the summer. It is very delicious, completely different from any other type of hot pot. Cook it with vegetables, duck heart, pork blood cake, meat balls, and many kinds of hot pot ingredients. And vermicelli is also a thing of must-eat. Strongly suggest foreigners try it when there is a chance to visit Taiwan. One of my favorites!

[@TT-di4qz]

Every dish looks so good. And the chicken soup seems absolutely phenomenal!

I am from Taipei and for sure not a foodie. But the chicken soup at Ji Yuan is incredible and unique. Just like Mark said, you can feel the stickiness in your lips, literally. Strongly recommend if you have time and budget to try.

[@kcenzer4128]

Why, Mark, did you make the "street food" so wonderfully expectant for diners? I LOVED the pots of chicken and parts and broth! Hearts and livers are my FAVORITE chicken and duck parts so I am sure these are WONDERFUL to others beside me! Thank You! You know, not many people like the innards of foul meats. But I am NOT one! When I am treated to chicken or duck or beef...I am delighted with organs as meats that I enjoy! So THANK YOU when you share these aspects of dining!
