Welcome to our new TAIWAN FOOD series! We will be highlighting the best street food in Taiwan, traditional Taiwanese food and more! We are starting this series in Taipei - and today we are showing you some of the most famous restaurants serving local Taiwanese food. We explain the current situation while visiting Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall.
First meal a classic Taiwanese breakfast at Yonghe Soy Milk King. The open restaurant gives it a street food vibe. We ordered: salty soy milk (with vinegar, dried shrimp, pork floss and green onion), steamed meat bun (pork), soup dumplings (xiao long bao), peanut rice milk (mi Jiang) and a youtiao shaobing (fried cruller within a baked pastry). All of these breakfast items can be found in traditional breakfast shops across Taiwan. This place cooks everything fresh before your eyes. (150 NTD / USD $5.02)
To digest, we explore the nearby Da’an Park. There are plenty of animals that roam the park and we try spotting as much as possible, including: Squirrels, birds, dogs and more. We also take part in various park activities, like the painful foot massager pathway.
Next, we walked to a famous street food stall serving radish pancakes. These are made by stuffing dough full of shredded radish and green onions and deep frying them. Served piping hot with optional sauces, there is no seating, so you need to eat it street food style. (30 NTD / USD $1.00 each)
We’ve always wanted to try traditional Taiwanese desserts and pastries and we knew one of the best bakeries to get it was at Chai Te. The pastries are made fresh on site and almost everyday they sell out of items. We bought: Taiwan Pineapple Cake, Strawberry Cake, Egg Tarts, Green Onion Nougat Cracker, Mooncake and Trinity Q Cakes (Total 318 NTD / USD $10.63). We washed all of those delicious pastries down with Taiwanese Oolong tea.

Still be careful nevertheless 🙏

[@genocidegrand2057]

luke u are missing one of the best mantou or steamed dumpling in taipei. its like 5minutes walk from that radish cake place.

[@dbfi01]

4:47 electronic moonwalk....!

[@Abduls-view]

Nice 1 bro...Taipei looks like Bangkok but the weather here seems awesome

[@frankyu4967]

Luke Martin, given u & Sabrina are back in Taiwan now, maybe you can make a joint video with one of your early fan, another fellow Canadian Wes Davies from Ontario based in Kaohsiung. Stay safe & healthy to all.

[@FoodandFootprints]

Massive props to Taiwan for handling the situation as well as it has. One of the best countries to be in right now. Amazing you guys are able to be outside and make videos

[@itsallgood5595]

I admire their culture of excellence, i mean the street food shows that vendors are responsible and conscious of food quality. Went to china and have to watch where i step with all the spitting hapoening everywhere. The streetfood is also something you cant trust, i think its because their plenty over there they think a few illnesses and deaths wont hurt. They just seem to not care about people with the way they handle food. Respect in food handling says a lot about peoples values in general

[@jackprat17]

I think Taiwan is the place I want to revisit the most.

[@clairewu2060]

Welcome to Taiwan.

[@user-iy9qx5mk1o]

Welcome travel to Taiwan

[@chanpunleuthorn5815]

Me too, I've been there March last year. Unfortunately its raining everyday.

[@Nainara32]

The MTR gate swipe *dodododo-bing!* sound really takes me back

[@ilnas]

So jealous of the life in Taiwan right now. I was born in Taiwan and grew up in Toronto. We are in lockdown mode

[@FoodandFootprints]

Brought back great memories to when we went to Taiwan two years ago!

[@Hannah4469]

It's great that you're both safe and able to film! 😀 I went to Taiwan last year and loved it so I can't wait for this series ☺️

[@LukeMartin]

Thanks Hannah! Hope you’ll enjoy this series!

[@rahadiantoputra862]

I am really hoping that this pandemic will be done soon, so my trip to Taiwan on November won't be cancelled 😍😍😍

[@cafezo87934]

don't come if you're sick, mentally, physically and emotionally

[@manniefaces]

it will not be done soon

[@RockstarEater]

I hope it's over so that my trip to Taiwan can be planned! =) Would make for great videos for my channel.

[@dwayneevans683]

Dont think so leave those people country disease free! Stay where you are!

[@yugogomia1]

As a Taiwanese, I am always touched by watching your video when you guys are introducing about Taiwanese culture or delicious food, especially now, the impact of Covid-19 situation, I saw the shops having some preventions, I do hope I can stay in Taiwan but not...for some reason. Thank you for taking those videos about Taiwan. I am not changing my mind love my country, the only one. Hope the virus is getting over soon and hope everyone stays safe and healthy.

[@jerry9761]

I wish all is well with you. from Taiwan

[@bentleyhorne2952]

Greetings from locked down Canada.....My wife and I have been enjoying your videos for a few months now. We're really enjoying the way you treat the locals and the respect that you show the elders in the communities that you visit. We hope you and Sabrina stay safe and stay healthy. Keep up the good work! The world needs positive people like yourselves.

[@LukeMartin]

Thanks so much guys! Hope you’re holding on and we will be bringing more videos soon!

[@ArleenRoja]

I love Taiwan and thank you for showing how they are doing right now. I'm super happy that they're stable now and I hope the same thing for other countries as well like the Philippines. I hope everything will get back to normal before the year ends so Taiwan will re-open for tourists. I wanted my parents to see their beauty and kind people.

[@itsallgood5595]

What a sad country , the Philipines I think is the richest in terms pf resources and skills but poorest in terms of values. Loving the family to much makes everybody think only of themselves and their families. That is why it is so corrupt

[@dxxn9782]

Less then 400 cases in Taiwan That phenomenal Stay safe guys 😘😘😘

[@askstevem]

Glad to see more of Taiwan series. Thanks for all you do! Your videos brought me to Taiwan last October and I had a blast eating my way around. The Chia Te Pineapple cakes were perfect with oolong tea

[@LukeMartin]

Thanks Steve! Glad to hear you had a good trip

[@leonhatlyofficial5744]

[@navusx]

Wow!! brings back so many fond memories, attended Da'an high school as an overseas student for couple of years when I was about 13, this is so cool. Great to see you guys can still go out and about doing some filming, great place to be with fantastic food.

[@LukeMartin]

Thanks for sharing so cool!

[@workerbeast]

You guys are absolutely the best. Great camera work, endearing personalities, and interesting content.

[@LukeMartin]

[@nickandhelmi]

[@LukeMartin]

Hahaha it’s a great route!

[@leyu22]

taiwan is terrific. they are very cohesive and handle national issues very well. great country for sure!!

[@evan937]

Taiwan is a vegetarian paradise. I would love to go there!

[@LukeMartin]

Yes lots of great veg options here!

[@galdankh]

ITS A FOOD PARADISE

[@StompinJago]

OMG i went to the same exact place for breakfast last November!! Loving the place. The only place in Asia where uber still works!!

[@AussieAngeS]

I have been waiting for this series 🙌🏼💯 this is so cool, I think Taiwan is gorgeous. I’m glad you’re both ok and having a great time, but please stay safe! The bakery looks fantastic, omg I want to go there just to try the bakery items 😍. It’s my birthday tomorrow, send me some to Australia please lol.

[@LukeMartin]

Happy early birthday Angie! Hope you’ll enjoy the Taiwan series!

[@LukeMartin]

Thanks! More videos coming soon

[@nisadesti7401]

Taiwan is the best country 😍

[@mistypanchal2716]

No.nisha..not only Taiwan...but India Aldo

[@destryearling844]

Glad you are safe and back in Taiwan! We spent three weeks there in January and had a blast. We watched a lot of your videos before going and loved them. The food and night markets were an absolute must. The memorial was quite crowded when we went, so you are lucky to see it without the crowds. Not sure if you have been to Penghu or not, but I highly recommend it, and you can see it all in a few days. Amazing beaches, towns, and scenery. The locals thought we were a bit crazy for swimming on a chilly 65 degree day....but that was balmy coming from Idaho in January...lol

[@aquarintriputranti2931]

I went to Taipei December 2015, and this video made me want to go back to Taipei

[@user-iy9qx5mk1o]

Welcome to Taiwan 😊

[@ginanguyen3716]

I will go to Taiwan when we have a flight to there,love your videos and thank you!

[@i2hellfire]

Damn I wish I were in Taiwan right about now. With few restrictions in Taiwan at the moment, it's a great time to show the sites around the country. I haven't even traveled beyond my street for almost a month now.

[@RockstarEater]

Hope you get there, bro. I believe in you!

[@soultraveler1111]

Love Taiwan

[@FoodandFootprints]

The sizzle on that radish pancake! Looks so nice and fresh - filling is really packed in there

[@Jquin76]

The place has changed so much since the last time I was there in 1990. Gotta plan a trip there when everything around the world has cleared up.

[@Ijsje1979]

Taiwan , home is where the heart is . I miss it sooo much !!! Great food , great people , amazing nature, ...and being surrounded by everything a tech nerd heart desires hahaha People say paradise doesn't exist ...but for me : Taiwan is damn close to being just that !!! Hoping to go back , eventually , and never leaving it again !! hahaha

[@sean2410]

I love Luke Martin's food channel. Wow, 30 minutes of great Taiwanese food and video clips!

[@CosmoTrav]

Great to see you guys traveling again! The food looks amazing. Maybe Taiwan would be an interesting travel destination.. change of plans maybe 😉

[@RockstarEater]

I'd recommend it (as per words from my Taiwanese dad).

You talk about this and ironically I was in 一中 the other day in Taichung grabbing some food (less than six feet away in a crowd from others) and found your KZbin channel from the video they were playing at I think TigerSugar. I agree. I am so happy to be in a safe place but... with the thing about the sailors they just announced... hope we can still stay safe. Anyways! I'm glad I found your channel. Keep safe!

We need to continue to be optimistic but cautious. Take care and stay healthy!

Its not the country but the people that i respect! GOOD JOB!...NB: Dont know exactly how these people filming this video got there, But keep foreigners out, keep your borders close , it's those tourist /outsider's, who's going to infect your country! BE SMART you cant have your cake and eat it too! If you going to open up your economy with tourism, you wiill get infected there just no way around it!
