Taiwanese Breakfast in Taipei, Taiwan

[@LukeMartin]

Yes!!! you're supposed to eat the you ciao in the soy milk I was waiting for you to do that the whole time hah

[@ex6823]

haha same here though I've never tried that because I am gluten sensitive.

[@samuelandaudrey]

LOL! Thanks for being patient. We totally winged this so I'm glad we figured it out on our own...hehehe

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hahaha!

[@LukeMartin]

hmm what about china?!

[@hwdc77]

due to their history within 1966~1976, they destoried many Chinese culture... you can get more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution

[@Cookie-sf6fs]

I love watxhing your vlog...both of you look great on camera and your so articulate and curious.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah! Thank you very much! :)

[@WillChi]

yes, one of classic way to eat 油條 is dipping in soy milk. and I prefer to dip in ice soy milk.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, that is good to know! We sure enjoyed it that way :)

[@YT--8787]

台灣人吃油條就是沾豆漿或者杏仁茶，有時會切塊放進鹹豆漿中，吃皮蛋瘦肉粥也會加個油條。

[@lmball]

香港人也是這樣！

[@minhan8070]

還有一種跟遊條一起吃的 把油條切成0.3~0.6CM 片狀型 加入 熱豆漿 裡面攪拌 撒一些 鹽巴 ... 些許胡椒鹽 打一顆蛋攪拌 看要放一些香菜或者蔥花 看個人(我知道有些外國[人 不喜歡..蔥..) .... 在台灣有些人會像我會把早餐當午餐吃.... 中午時間買鹹豆漿 有時會加一些飯..火腿或者培根(我有時是加切丁狀的瘦肉) 台灣中式早餐店 叫做 < 鹹豆漿 >

[@010joseph010]

其實沾熱米漿更合

[@鱈魚洋蔥]

吃洨配油條最正宗

[@鄧鄧鄧-f5j]

也可以搭配熱米漿跟熱花生湯

[@supershinhwa]

On the other hand, thank you for making the video and putting up all the details of the place in writing. Really appreciate that! Great videos!! 🙌🏼💖

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We try to do that whenever we remember.

[@lynnmoore2664]

Really enjoy watching your channel & watch the expressions on your faces when you taste theses foods! One can tell you both enjoy to eat different foods Take care & stay safe looking forward to your next video

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you Lynn! We both sure do love to eat ;)

[@lynnmoore2664]

Lol I can 100% relate to that myself & my weakness is sweet as well 😍

[@ryanr8121]

Awesome! I go there everytime I go to Taiwan! Next time, have the salty soy milk. It has soy sauce, sesame oil, pickled veggies. Shao bing you tiao is famous to eat in the morning. Also, the sweet rice roll called tian fan tuan.

[@misterb1az3d]

The youtiao is best eaten by dipping it in porridge or soup. They serve this in Vietnam with pho.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is really cool to hear!

[@jojof7584]

that fried dough stick or they called it youtiou ..they indeed usually eat it plain or dip it in soy milk or porridge ^^ ...you should try douhua ( tofu pudding ) and guabao ( chinesse sandwich) too

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh thanks for letting us know and we really appreciate the recommendations!

[@chien387]

刈包gua bao=Taiwanese hamburger zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%89%B2%E5%8C%85

[@windwalker2189]

Sarina Freeman I don't think douhua called tofu flower in English although its Chinese name looks like it does

[@p.3147]

depends where in China, some places in Southwestern China also dip their Youtiao in their noodles

[@SK-ps5pn]

Guabao FTW! It started to show up in some TWN restaurants (and also the summer night markets) here in Vancouver ! :-D

[@joeyoungdude]

OMG! Finally you dipped the youtiao into the warm soy milk! I'm like, when will they figure it out?!? LOL! That's how all Chinese eat it. Whether in Taiwan, HK, China or Canada. Also, youtiao hardens fast, so if you get some that's piping hot and soft, start dipping and eating it right away. Btw, unsweetened soy milk (warm or cold) tastes like wallpaper glue. Love your channel guys! From a fellow Canuck ;)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! LOL, we really were slow catching on with that ;) Where in Canada do you live? We'll be back this summer to visit family.

[@maximsupernov942]

Actually the best way to eat youtiao (the fried dough stick) is to dip into almond milk or peanut milk. It's a very vintage way of eating it in south.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for the tip!

[@AussieAngeS]

Oh wow that food looks wonderful! I don't like soy milk but I'm sure that probably tastes delicious and that omelette thing looks so good

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It really is tasty. Maybe almond or coconut milk would be a good alternative.

[@LoftsNHomes1]

Yes youtiao (long fried doughnut) is suppose to be dipped or crumbled into the hot soy milk which typically is not sweetened in the hot version. We do out sugar in the cold one. Also, we used to wrap the youtiao into the shao bing as a sandwich and dip both into the hot soy milk for a warm, comfort breakfast. We did not eat much of the sweet stuff, but that seems to be more trendy now! Dang Bing (egg omlet wrapped in like a tortilla like) is the best! Should def try it sometime ! Its more savory and with some chives, and now you can add ham and other things to the omlet.

[@jenjae7]

dunk that youtiao in the soy milk! or put it into the shaobing. That's how we eat it. Always love watching you two!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! It sure is good both ways :)

[@woolfel]

usually you can get it sweet or savory for most breakfast items. shaobin the sesame bread comes in a wide variety of interpretations. it can be stuffed with sweet or savory stuff. the plain isn't sweetened. the deep fried bread is normally dipped into the soy milk or stuffed in the sesame bread.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation :)

[@222222225574]

WOW , You guys went to Taiwan! I love you guys so much !

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We had a great time and would love to come back.

[@ex6823]

Found you guys through Dublin vlog earlier and now you are at Taiwan which is where I live! cool!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! Oh, that is cool. We really had a great time in Taiwan :)

[@littleblueorchid]

Welcome to Taiwan!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! :)

[@mysoulmate2875]

Taiwan food all are delicious 😋 ,, i love Taiwan

[@samuelandaudrey]

It sure is delicious!

[@李歐-r8s]

Hey, it's a nice video. I've watched it all. Glad that you enjoyed our traditional breakfast! You know what?! We do dip youtiao(the deep-fried stick) in hot soy milk, and then take a bite of it. Sometimes we chop it into pieces and add into rice porridge. I have to say if nobody told you to do so, you are really a genius! That's the very local way to taste youtiao!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! Ah, I think we just had a lucky guess ;)

[@portus]

You're absolutely right in dipping the yotiao into the soy milk to enjoy it.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It is sure good that way.

[@BillGreenAZ]

Sam looked a bit "hangry" there at the beginning of the video. LOL!

[@samuelandaudrey]

LOL, I was and I'm not one to enjoy waiting in line for food ;)

[@BillGreenAZ]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I'm the same way Sam!

[@timmyyang7963]

I am very glad you like that! Welcome to Taiwan! 歡迎光臨

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@quietasamouse]

Youtiao is best with rice porridge (the one made with pork and century eggs)!! Rice porridge is called Jook in Cantonese, same as what Korean call theirs!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, we'll have to try that! So cool they're the same name :)

[@Chimpangel]

The food looks so good!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It was a great meal.

[@wernstberger]

The porridge you saw is called "jook," the same as the rice porridge you ate in Korea. The youtiao is often dipped in the jook.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Very cool! We really enjoyed it. Such comforting food to start the day :)

[@effie-Toronto]

Love the video again

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank yoU!

[@jasonkuo41]

You should try Tainan's (Taiwan) breakfast, it's the most famous city for delicious snacks and food! There are different variety of breakfast, but I personally recommend "beef soup"+" Minced pork sauce rice"

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, that sounds yummy! Thanks for the recommendation :)

[@nockk_]

ive been waatching your taiwan videos (my mom is from there) love the videos! locals like to dip the you tiao in the soy milk, so you did it right! haha. hope you go back to Taiwan again, seems like you haven't been back.

[@inshowchen1292]

Really good pronunciation👍

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you!

[@boytheodore]

You are right, Some people do put Youtiao in the soybean mil. There are many other combination with Youtiao because eat it alone is too less taste and calories. For example, Youtiao in rice ball (Onigiri) is very common in Taiwan.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, thank you for letting us know about that. We sure enjoyed breakfasts in Taipei.

[@tingisolate]

i am from singapore and we do have soya milk & you tiao too! and to be honest it is really normal and ok to dip the youtiao into the soya milk. in singapore we do eat that way too! so dont worry that people would judge you eating that way.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh that is cool to hear! We have a series coming out from Singapore soon :)

[@tingisolate]

really! thats great! cant wait to see the video! keep on uploading videos!

[@qaanalyst]

Yup, you guys did it correctly. You're supposed to dip the you tiao in the sweet soy milk (dou jiang). The other way to do it, which you guys also did correctly, is to put it inside the sao bing (the sandwich, as you guys called it). The porridge is xi fan, and you guys definitely should try that next time.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you for explaining that! We'll have to try the xi fan next time :)

[@qaanalyst]

You guys are welcome! Xi fan is pretty much similar to the juk you guys have eaten from Korea. :) Give us your impressions and compare it to the juk you've eaten from Korea in your next video! :)

[@joeweng6189]

i like your program, very interesting!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@WuTengFamily]

Dipping in soybean milk is a super common way to eat it, haha! So delicious.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Cool to hear! So yummy that way :)

[@LouisChiaki]

油條 with chocolate sounds good! Maybe it will be very popular in Taiwan!

[@samuelandaudrey]

That sounds really tasty!

[@Julie-go6lw]

Inside the sweet pastry is brown sugar and the omelet has some green onion inside

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know! :)

[@yuliang22]

what U guys did to fried oil bread (soak it into the soybean milk) actually quite common in Taiwan. U guys are genius cause U tried to do so at ur very first Taiwan breakfast experience.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh thank for letting us know! LOL, I'm surprised we did it properly without knowing.

[@NYMikeTube]

You gotta dip it in soy milk! :) love the videos.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Ah, it was so good in the soy milk :)

[@amy28120549]

yeah we don't simply eat the youtia. we eat it with soy milk and we called this combination " salty soy milk"

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, thanks for explaining that!

[@jameswang117]

Your pronunciation is perfect!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, thank you! :)

[@heyitsrolan]

Love the video, the food in Taiwan is the Best!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! It is really tasty :)

[@j1988102]

Yes Dan Bing is one of the common Taiwanese breakfast options, and usually you can find different flavors for Dan Bing in Taiwanese breakfast restaurants. Btw if you guys got a chance next time you could try dipping YouTaio in hot pot, which you taste YouTaio in a salty way and is also a common way for Taiwanese to eat it :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Oh, dipped in a hot pot sounds really tasty :) Thanks for suggesting that.

[@b1ack0ops84]

Your pronunciations are perfect.

[@SimplyJean]

Great video! The food looks so good! :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! It was a great breakfast :)

[@fly0210]

嗨~ 台灣人吃油條 有時就是夾在燒餅中 或者沾著豆漿吃喔！ 非常感謝你來台灣玩^^

[@xpon2594]

You're so clever! Dipping youtiao into soy milk is how we do!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Great combo! It adds a bit of sweetness.

[@RegularGal86]

I also enjoy having omlette with toast and jam!😊 I think is so delicious! since I was little I loved the sweet and salty combination.

[@RegularGal86]

oh yes, and I've never had soy milk by now! I'm not that curious either! :))

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, that would also be tasty!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hehehe...I would suggest almond milk or coconut milk as an alternative.

[@agnesrambling]

there is a song about you tiao and dou jiang by JJ Lin. that is how it usually eaten. glad you did that

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, we'll have to look for that song :) Thanks!

[@florricklindenzel4859]

阜杭豆漿！我喜歡它的厚蛋夾油條、糙米漿和豆漿！

[@海寧靜]

Welcome to Taiwan.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! :)

[@barrelrolldog]

you can eat the you tiao with the soy milk or put it in that xiao bing thing.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@christophernewkirk9557]

Rice ball with Taiwan pickle, dried pork and Chinese doughnut is the one thing I ALWAYS crave when I come home. "Crave", as in, ravenously! Lunch: Chinese Sausage in rice bun with Taiwan Pickle. Dinner? Night Market! :D

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ooooh, that is a great day of eating! :)

[@SnowBoardlng]

Dan bing here is fire!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

:)

[@reneechen2264]

there are many breakfast place like that you dont have to wait in line.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Good to know. Anywhere you suggest in particular?

[@rachelandnick]

Sweet bread with salty omelette. Hmm sounds intriguing. I'm more into savoury so not sure if i'd love it but definitely looks yum!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! What is your favorite savory breakfast?

[@rachelandnick]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I would say poached eggs with smashed avocado on toast. Never get bored of it!

[@samuelandaudrey]

We ordered that the other day in Chiang Mai! That never gets old :)

[@anotherdavidc]

One of my favorite meals in Taiwan. We have a yummy place next to my grandfather's home in Taipei City.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is really cool to hear!

[@symphonlin]

他們家的比較偏甜,其實附近的青島也就不錯了何必排隊呢?

[@方薇婷-s8l]

Dip 油條 in hot soy milk is actually a common way we eat it.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@lindafukuyu5767]

The one that looks like the "churro" thing is Chinese fried dough .. usually they dip it into the porridge mixed with soy sauce for the taste ..

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, thanks for letting us know.

[@magicdrugstore]

actually yes, we do dip Youtiao into the soybean milk. and we do put Youtiao inside Shao Bing or Onigiri. you did exactly the same as how we eat in Taiwan. XDD

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, that is good to hear! It was a great breakfast :)

[@FlyingPigNJ]

OMG, I have been there. The line was ridiculously long. We ended up having horrible breakfast across the street before we went hiking. Is it actually worth the long line snaking down the stairwell? With only 3 days in the city, we just didn't feel like to waste time on a long queue.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, wow! The line you experienced sounds really long. Honestly, with just a few days in the city I can totally understand not wanting to stand for that long. It is a good breakfast but maybe not worth waiting such a long time for with limited time to explore the city.

[@369WhiteHeadHeavenlyKing]

Please try to dip with the boiled DauNi - soy milk from the start next time, that’s our way of it,...btw thanks for the SA sharing remind me of my 2nd home country ... braai.... and wine ... and stuff

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you for the tips!

[@AsiknyaBerbagi]

nice video, thanks

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you too

[@Freshie55]

The dishes you had aren't what local Taiwanese would typically order for breakfast, unfortunately. Taiwanese are not into sweets for breakfast. I know in my family, we would typically order 油條 (Youtiao) with 咸豆漿 (salty soy milk). Salty soy milk is soy milk with vinegar, pork floss, green onion and the youtiao (fried dough sticks) you guys had. Dan Bing 蛋餅, which is like an omelet, cooked with a tortilla like skin is also popular. Then there's the radish cakes 蘿蔔糕, which are usually accompanied with a tangy sauce. We also like to eat 麵包, which are buns. They come in different flavors and also come with stuffing such as 蔬菜包 (vegetable bun) or ground meat stuffing. Then there are the buns that are pan fried, so it's crunchy at the bottom. I can go on and on :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you for letting us know about that! We'll try our best to have a more savory local option next time :)

[@陳建成-z4o]

這間非常難排隊呢....真厲害....其實我覺得你們應該最喜歡的是蛋餅...哈哈....

[@joyjoyoo]

Ah. Can't wait for some hearty Chinese / Taiwanese style breakfast myself!! Going back to Shanghai in 10 days!! Have you been here?

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is really cool! I've been to Shanghai but Audrey hasn't. We're planning to go this year though. We'd like to shoot some food videos and make a city guide maybe in May or June.

[@a6092180]

Both of tofu and soy milk are made from soy beans, so it tastes the same. 😬😁

[@samuelandaudrey]

That makes sense. I'm glad Audrey enjoyed it more as she kept trying it.

[@windwalker2189]

Anna I don't feel they taste the same. Actually there are different kinds of tofu, and they don't taste the same, either

[@snakeman97]

Dude, tofu is made from curdled soy milk so it's like calling cheese tasting like milk..... duh

[@zzasdfwas]

@@snakeman97 cheese is usually fermented though. Tofu is usually just the soy milk solids that have been separated out using something like calcium sulfate

[@angieo2798]

Yeah. I was thinking that the ciao is supposed to go in the soy milk. I have been living in Taiwan a year and a half and have only had it a couple of times when my Taiwanese friends gave me some. I need to go check that place out before I leave Taiwan. They are friendly to foreigners?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know. Yes, they were nice to us and service was quick once the line moved to our turn.

[@dearxmarch]

yeah~duo chiang tastes like tofu..cuz they are made from the same ingredient (yellow bean)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, that is it.

[@jacintawong3639]

you 2 are from Canada. me too. did you try Vancouver Richmond night market ?

[@jacintawong3639]

you tiao dipping in dou jiang ( soy milk ) this is Asian way to eat or with rice porridge. hehe

[@koenigamd]

Spanish Churro was indeed related to Youtiao, happened during the Age of Discovery

[@m109094010]

you should try the salt soybean milk, that is the spacial dish.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@changchuanchen6906]

台灣真的很多食物都偏甜，連辣椒醬也帶點甜味

[@tonylee4317]

The youtiau goes well with roasted peanut or peanut butter. That's my daddy's favourite.

[@samuelandaudrey]

I like your Dad's style! Peanut butter would be amazing :)

[@jhc6608]

Glad you dipped it in the soy milk. That's how you roll in Taiwan.

[@tomchu9780]

If you dip youtiao in the cold soymilk, it will taste like cookie.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh yummy!

[@taipei7325]

It's better to go between 7 to 7:30 when less people are in queue

[@samuelandaudrey]

OH, thanks for sharing that tip!

[@leexster]

You guys were in Taiwan?! Damnnn I just came back 2 days ago. :'(

[@samuelandaudrey]

Cool! How long will you be back? We had a great time in Taiwan.

[@kakiz]

It is recommended that you take the soy milk without sweetening because the pastries are already sweet.

[@pttkahlo]

阜杭豆漿 is the most famous breakfast restaurant in Taipei.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@qv6486]

I think the taste is mediocre. I left Taiwan 2 years ago and I felt there are other breakfast places that are just as good in your local neighborhood.

[@supershinhwa]

Most of the things you ate are available in Australia here & lots of my Aussie friends had tried soy milk & tofu pudding before, it’s socking to see American never tried or heard of them!!! Wherein America are you two from?? 🤔

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, that is cool to hear. We're from Canada. I'm not sure how Audrey never tried them but I had them in Edmonton before.

[@SenSa110]

oh no i watched this video at midnight and now i am really starving.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Sorry for that!

[@陳杰伊]

are these 3 dishes come to only one meal or you need to order one by one??how will you order these??what will you say or pick if there a paper menu??Sorry i'm not that good in mandarin.Thanks for the answers.

[@saintwaychang4692]

Amazing 👍！

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks!

[@stig]

I cook at home!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Cool to hear!

[@yanglu9555]

Hey..... No no no, you all choose to eat a lot of sweet stuff. The majority of stuff are savory and awesome.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, what should we try next time?

[@belight_901]

Tofu is actually made by soybeans the same ingredients of soy milk. And in fact, we eat Youtiao in the way you did! Put it in the soy milk won't be wrong! :)

[@killerxyphon]

the you tiao is supposed to be dipped in the soy milk!

[@samuelandaudrey]

It tastes much better that way :) Thanks for letting us know.

[@davesatay5563]

Who is operating the camera, while these two are eating? Curious.

[@samuelandaudrey]

We film each other.

[@davesatay5563]

Ah I see. I'm new to your channel, love watching you guys eat all over the world!

[@huangbob54]

You use google translation to write the description right? That sounds weird in the logic of Chinese haha. That restaurant is so famous but I never had it since it takes too much time to wait, but after seeing this video, I'll go try it next time XD

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! That is cool you'll try going back. We don't love standing in lines but it did move fairly quickly.

[@Arctax]

You should try salty soy milk ~ It is amazing haha

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, that sounds really good.

[@kzmino4923]

try 蘿蔔糕 and (培根/玉米/鮪魚/...)蛋餅 and 米漿 next time. :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for the suggestions! :)

[@SoonKyu515]

hope you like Taiwan !

[@samuelandaudrey]

Most definitely. We miss it these days.

[@leon692211]

妳喜歡喝豆漿，小貝剛好喜歡米漿!哈哈

[@hokila678]

welcome to taiwan and enjoyed your life , by the way this is taiwanese food not chinese.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We loved visiting :)

[@adoaTW]

感性槍手 Bringing politics into a travel vlog is very stupid. And this particular type of breakfast originated from Northern China and was brought to Taiwan by Chiang kaishek's remnants in 1949.

[@Golden_Spoon]

we call the long one as "cakwe". its common things in indonesia

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@kikulikokuli8260]

Pro-Tip: Taiwanese people don't mind waiting in line for _hours_, to get into a place that's "famous" somehow, even if it's not actually any good.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for sharing that! Any place that comes to mind in terms of being overrated with regards to quality but popular for lineups?

[@WaZai1123]

Thank you for try to understand our food:D
