Giving this video a LIKE and a COMMENT really helps me (給這個影片按讚和留言對我很有幫助)

Loving the content and the way you describe what you’re eating rather than say “it’s delicious”. I just came back from Taiwan last week and went to that pepper cake shop twice. 😂

[@hungrytoexplore]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's always nice to get positive feedback. I know my descriptions are quite niche and not for everyone. That pepper cake shop is so good, right? Addictively good.

[@yehphoebe7679]

"not too sweet" - that is the feature of taiwanese dessert 😋

[@hungrytoexplore]

haha so I am finding out! it is still so delicious though

[@yehphoebe7679]

@@hungrytoexplore that’s the point ! We think too much sugar will kill our taste and the flavor other ingredients 😆

Love your Taiwan series!! Great job showing different types of Taiwanese food! ❤

thank you! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying it. I wish I was there longer and got to film more

It looks so fantastic that you can find these local dishes you want to eat. They are not only excellent comfort foods for a traveler, but also wonderful hints to discover hidden gems for a explorer.

[@hungrytoexplore]

Yes, you are right! I just try and show food that I like to eat. I am glad that you enjoyed it

[@EricYeh-o7j]

Joe wish you a great trip in Taiwan. Taiwan Beef Noodle Soup is a now world recognized. Usually we eat with Chinese sour cabbage( the fermented green you mentioned like the Sauerkraut when eating with pork knuckles ) and depends on individual, some prefer lighter broth ( soup simmer with beef bones for 12 hours ), and some like heavier broth. The heavier broth have soup that are stirred fried all the ingredients like ginger, garlic, scallion with spicy bean paste,and rice wine and simmer in boiling water with Chinese herbs packet like the 5 spice herbal you mentioned, and then marinated with beef shanks to get the more beefy flavor out in simmering broth for 12 hours so all the nutritious ingredients are in the broth. And some people like eat more spicy so they will add chili sauce in the soup to eat as well. 😋😋😋

[@hungrytoexplore]

oh wow - I might need to cook it with your information in your comment. It was such a good bowl of beef noodles.

[@vepakko]

Been enjoying your Taiwan series so much, great content! Taiwan was high on my travel bucket list and now its even higher 😃 Cheers Joe 👍🏻

[@hungrytoexplore]

My pleasure :) you should definitely plan a visit. it really surprised me. I was only there a brief time and really want to go back.

[@cciao355]

Enjoying your Taiwan content series. Excellent succinct food descriptions.

[@chiehlilee9224]

Shortbread maybe? It’s inspired by fig newton.

[@hungrytoexplore]

oh yes! it is a cross between both. In the UK we call it fig roll. It reminded me of that for sure

[@wang2842386]

Very good episode . Thanks for sharing.

[@hungrytoexplore]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching

[@hushy9695]

If you wish to try the best beef noodle that does not need to wait on long queue, I would recommend you to try 天东86牛肉面, there are 2 branches one near Shilin night market and one near Taipei city hall station. The tip is to go for the second branch to avoid the long queue!

[@hungrytoexplore]

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I really appreciate it. I will try it out

[@Star.Soul.]

Taiwan does not use simplified Chinese.

I was wondering how you communicate with the waiters or shop assistants out there ?

[@hungrytoexplore]

Umm pointing, laughing, sign with my hands. Any way possible. But many people do speak some English to be honest, worst comes to worst you can use Google translate but I try not to

Have you noticed a distinct lack of public garbage bin in Taipei? Last time we visited, we learned to carry plastic bags so we can take our trash back to the hotel 🙂

[@hungrytoexplore]

haha yes!! it is the same in S. Korea and Japan. Yet everywhere is so clean.

Fig Newtons?

that is it! in the UK I know them as fig rolls. It is exactly what it reminded me of

[@jim.pearsall]

Fig Newtons … a type of cookie… what’s a biscuit? 😂 Wooden chopsticks are the best … metal, plastic, lacquered, ceramic are too slippery. 🥢😊

One thing I must say. Though Taiwanese are friendly and hospitality, our average English ability is a tragedy. Make sure you have good assistance if you go to little counties.

[@hungrytoexplore]

I don't mind the little English, I try and make as much effort as I can. But yeah, people are so friendly

[@潘奐鴒-n8n]

Seem like you really enjoy the journey in Taiwan so that here are more than 1 video about this country. But I gonna tell you that most Taiwanese think there are no good food in Taipei. You should try more cuisine in other cities. Trust me, I'm a chef🤣 Taiwan always welcomes you.

[@yunlu4304]

那是你們南部人的想法，台北當然有很多好吃的東西啦！

[@hungrytoexplore]

oh really? You wouldn't know that from eating around Taipei, it is delicious. I need to revisit Taiwan and eat more

[@潘奐鴒-n8n]

@@yunlu4304 我在台北讀了4年大學，是知道台北也不是那麼爛。但那座城市的造詣幾乎集中在紙醉金迷的高階餐飲，並不具有培育出普遍優秀的小吃文化的土壤啊哀。 精緻高階的料理確實是很偉大的藝術，但以比較大眾的自助旅行或對世界充滿熱情的背包窮遊來說，台北確實是過於初階
