Joel ... did you ever get to try Dòu Miáo 豆苗 when in Taiwan? It was our favorite veg dish, especially sauteed with garlic. We would call it Dong Meow ... LOL!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

This is great Ron, a secondary message, I know this dish from China actually. I don’t remember if I found it in Taiwan!!

@@JoelsTastyRide I hear yah Joel.. I was there for one day and the locals said to experience the aura of a misty morning sunrise on the lake which was phenomenal

[@MalReaver]

Wow! You can bike at that altitude? I went to Steamboat Springs once (It's at 2000m elevation) I couldn't climb a flight of stairs! But then I've lived all my life at sea level.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Mal! I love that message because I love steamboat Springs :-) we were there last summer, it was Li’s first trip to the USA… well I can also smile and mention that you did not see the video from a few days ago because, actually the title is 3420m altitude heavenly lunch :) haha So, 3420 is much higher than 2000… and yes we biked (very hard!), I rode there 4 days, 4 spectacular days!!

[@MalReaver]

@@JoelsTastyRide I did see that video! and yes, I saw Li struggling a bit, but there is no way I could even walk far at that altitude!🤥 Steamboat Springs is a beautiful place! and so are all the places you take us to!

Good Morning Li & Joel ... so now you are at a place I've actually been before. We visited there before crossing the island via the Taroko Gorge. Did you film this before the earthquake hit Hualien City? Anyway, thanks for this great content and as always, have a Blessed Day & Peace be with you !

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Hi Ron! No way, super cool to hear that you know this place! Well I did answer your question about the earthquake in a previous video (the recent Hualien earthquake happened our first day in Taiwan, April 3), so there were aftershocks happening almost every day of the trip.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Peace and Love Ron, thank you!! Thanks for the blessings

[@maxf3253]

Ron, Joel, happy Monday. Have a wonderful day

[@iangardiner]

Excellent video, Joel. I'm happy to see Li and her enduring charm grace the video for a bit. As I've said before, moving about in Taiwan is to always go uphill.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Yaaha! Good morning good morning!!! Ian, always great to see you man. Hello from both of us!! You definitely understand Taiwan just with this simple nod to the topography, always up :-) and you’re right it really does feel like it I t’s always “up to the next place,” never “down to…”

Good morning dear Joel & Li - The Sun Moon Lake is beautiful 👌👌 Joel directly attacking the chilli 😀 The Lu Rou Fan looks simple but good 👍 I love the fact that you folks invariably order some healthy veggies as side dishes . Would like to see this culture in India . The wild vegetable dish with fiddle heads , carrots and some olive 🫒. The lettuce and cabbage fried with ginger, garlic & Soy sauce 👌 Good insight into the food culture of restaurants in Taiwan 🇹🇼👌👌 I knew you would go in for the chillis to amp up the flavour of the “Sweet & Fatty” sausage 👍 Yes the Cordia Dichotoma is also called a “Indian Cherry” Li confirms that the restaurant is very popular and she is thoroughly enjoying her lunch 👌 Brilliant articulation on the taste & texture profile of the Lu Rou Fan 💯💯 Now it’s rice time and great way to incorporate all the main dishes with the rice 👌 Yes I thoroughly enjoyed watching this vlog . Quite informative as well 👍👍 There comes the super classic vow from the drone . Phew what a lovely & beautiful place 💯💯💯 Thanks dear Joel & Li for dishing out this wonderful vlog . Take , stay healthy & God bless 😇 Loads of love & hugs 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️ A special hello to the simply awesome Bru-Cru family 👋👋❤️❤️❤️

Hello Joel and everyone! We are back from our Thailand vacation but the last few days of it we got some devastating news and when we got home we had to head to our other place a couple days later for the funeral on the 24th of a real good friend of ours (he was like a 2nd dad to Tanya). We are doing fine, heartbroken but we will get through it.

Those green seeds are preserved cordia dichotoma (破布子). They have a salty taste with a bit of acidity to it. We use them to enhance the flavor of certain dishes. The funky, wild greens are fiddleheads （過貓菜）, which are part of the fern family. Taiwanese harvest them as vegetables. I hope you enjoy your visit in Taiwan, and please try out more Taiwanese cuisine! 🇹🇼

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Hey Victor!! I do love Taiwan, and I’m already thinking about the 3rd visit 😂 so good! So beautiful, so friendly, so fun.

@@JoelsTastyRide Hi Joel. I’m from Puli, a small town in Nantou County. A short drive from Sun Moon Lake will take you there. If you love braised port rice. You must to try out 李仔哥爌肉飯 in Puli. Their braised pork is served in large cut pieces. Amazing texture and taste. You also need to try Taiwanese meatballs （Ba Wan). 阿甲肉圓 is another must try eatery over there. Operated since 1949, and still going strong. Love your videos. Please keep up the brilliant work!

Saibaidee Joel! Food looks amazing. Awesome drone shots as well. It’s crazy that there aren’t many spicy dishes. I would imagine Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup would have some spice.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

My dude!!! Hey hey good morning! Yeah kinda unfortunate? If I should use that word, kinda sad that there aren’t many spicy foods and I only say it that way because IF there were just a few curry recipes and/or a spicy noodle dish, the entire cuisine would be high in the World Food lists (I think probably more than just my opinion but, definitely my opinion!!)

I love your vids, have watched them from your earliest days. I can see why you & Mark are such good buddies and how you must have enjoyed travelling together😊 It's interesting to me that you incorporate your faith, always showing us your pre-supper prayer, whereas Mark makes no reference to his. I think he probably didn't want to put people off watching his video's so chose to leave faith out of his craft. But I actually don't mind you praying etc in your video's, I don't find it off-putting because it's part of who you are and you are a very kind human being😊

Just wanted to say to everyone reading this that Jesus loves you and He wants to give you eternal life today. If you want to accept Jesus in your life please say the repeat the following: ‭‭Romans 10:9 NIV‬ [9] I declare with my mouth, “Jesus Christ is Lord,” and I believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead. Lord I repent of my sins and past ways and from this day forward I choose you, come and be my guide and lead me into a life that leads to eternal life. In Jesus name, Amen." Congratulations and welcome to the Kingdom of God. Heaven is rejoicing over you. You are now saved. Please take the next step and get to know God through bible reading, prayer and, worship. Additionally find a church home and grow in the faith. Thank you brethren.

Wow, what a blessing ❤️⭐️♥️ I was reading some verses in Ecclesiastes, and stories from 1-2 Samuel today, even 700 years before Jesus came into the world as a man, He was already being introduced by name!
