The claw machines are rigged, but people always find ways to still get the prize. Most of them in Taiwan require the player to put the claw into a swinging motion before pushing the button, so when the claw inevitably lets go of the prize, it will be thrown into the hole. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHy7ZaSApLGbgMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ7anq2eZaaDja8

Hi S&T, we just returned from Taiwan, my Motherland. You're so lucky to wait for only 30mins at Din Tai Fung. Our first try at a different location was 2.5-3.0 hours wait on a Friday 5:30pm, so we went elsewhere. Our second try at the same location was better and waited for only 20mins @ 2pm on a Monday afternoon. Hope you enjoyed the food there as much as we did!!!!

[@nishaparker]

I always love seeing your food adventures! That night market looks so fun!

Next time you visit Din Tai Fung, tell them to serve the dishes a bit slower. I'm sure they will listen to your request. Have fun in Taiwan!

I have talked to the claw game owner before and you basically have to spend a certain amount of money before the claw will actually close. I think it was around 100 NT. The trick is to watch someone play for awhile and then jump in after they leave. :)

[@bertchen323]

Welcome to Taiwan 🎉🎉

[@leyu22]

the crane games are supposed to be played on "the drop". Meaning you are supposed to anticipate the drop and drop it in a way that makes it bounce into the collector. For example, deliberately picking a prize up by the end, that way when it falls, it will bounce (hopefully) into the collector. It takes some skill, but many foreigners think it's supposed to be a simple grab and go, and thus, they complain when the crane hands open up like it's supposed to. Yes, after a certain number of plays, the crane gives you a hard grab, which is supposed to be the pity round for people who brute force the game. Have fun in Taiwan, it's a lovely country. People usually eat the stinky tofu together with the pickled veggies, gives it a coleslaw kind of crunch. Cheers!

[@user-mk5rc8gj1o]

希望你們喜歡台灣，come to Taiwan, again

[@yehphoebe7679]

The secret of grabbing machine is, since it throw away the object, after the claw grabbed the object, you should shake the operating gear crazily so to win a chance that the claw throw the object to the exit.

[@MartyMaa]

How would you compare Taiwanese fried chicken with Chick-fil-A in the US? I bet Tommy would have a hard time making a choice. The IPA is definitely a must-have after the Stinky Tofu stall. The entire video is high quality, and the audio is perfect. Thanks again for sharing such an incredible night market experience with us. you guys couldn't have picked a better one to film.

[@SammyandTommy]

We are definitely going to choose Taiwanese fried chicken bc the seasoning are just too good!! Thanks so much for the sweet comment :)

[@robertjames-life4768]

When Amy and I lived in Seattle we had two Din Tai Fungs within 1/2 hour away. Ssooo good! Tip- eat in the bar, less wait time typically. We went to the Bellevue and U-district locations. Also, we used Airalo in S. Africa last year- it was excellent!

[@onibaku713]

Stinky tofu and Taiwan beer!!! Perfect match 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@clyou]

There are some techniques for the claw machines in Taiwan. Every machine is a little different, so you need to observe which direction the claw swings when it let go and then make a pile so when the target falls, the pile bumps it off… it’s really not for people who don’t play it often.

[@user-zj7iv6xv5o]

Welcome to Taiwan !!!!!

[@HardQoo]

As for the claw machine, its claws are actually loose and only clamp after a certain number of times to ensure you get the prize. However, it can also be obtained through falling pinch objects, rolling or hitting the prize next to the hole. This requires experience to determine how to use the least amount of money to win the prize. （Using Google Translate software, I don't know if the expression is correct.😂)

You are doing great with Google Translate. Keep it up!

Thank you 🙏🏼 I’ve really enjoyed this vlog one of the country I’d like to visit the most! I really wonder about stinky tofu as my daughter best friend is from China keeps saying that the one thing she misses most about her home city / country of Shanghai China Anyway Tommy I m the same my smell sensitivity is so overwhelming that I will know straight away if I’d like it even without trying! Bizarrely I’m not so bored with the stinky smell of cheeses but apparently the brain becomes addictive to cheese and it makes over pass the bad odour that should put you off. I’d want to try but unsure I would! Brave Tommy I just hope my reaction will be Sammy though as I love Tofu Anyway have fun Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@SammyandTommy]

So glad you enjoyed the video. We hope you can visit there soon! If you have the same sensitivity to smells as me you might have issues with the stinky tofu as I did because I also love tofu. Thanks for watching friend!
