Enjoy your coffee while taking in the beautiful view from 101. We'll also introduce two popular Instagram-worthy food spots. Get your cameras ready, and let's go together. Today, we introduce a way to visit 101 for free and two popular Instagrammable food spots. Without further ado, let's get started. Let's go. To get to Taipei 101, City Hall Station is the way to go. Nearby is a popular Instagrammable snack. It's just a few steps from Exit 1. Here it is, fresh and handmade daily, the Fresh Milk Mochi from Sha Bai Tian. This shop really knows how to win hearts, by showing their mochi-making process. They intentionally make it visible to everyone. Their mochi selection is extensive. This time, we try their filled fresh milk mochi series. It's a must-try for tourists. Many foreign tourists come here to find it. You can choose the mochi flavors and pay at the vending machine. Even through the glass, you can see the mochi dough is very soft. The mochi at night markets is usually coated with peanut powder. Their filled series is quite unique. Of course, we have to try the special ones. When you order the assorted pack, you'll find the mochi distributed in different trays. Waiting for the last chocolate flavor to be ready. It looks so delicious even through the glass. A big reason this place is Instagram-famous is because of its Japanese-style packaging. Even the bamboo forks provided by the staff have a Japanese touch. Thank you. When you open the lid, the first thing you smell is the aroma of peanuts and sesame. The texture is so soft and chewy. It tastes like fresh milk. They call it fresh milk mochi, but you can't really taste the milk. Trying the sesame flavor. Wow~ It's so thick it almost overflows, such a large piece. The sesame mochi also has sesame filling. They are very generous with the filling. Yes, it's great. Each piece has a double layer of filling. Each piece has a double layer of filling. What flavor is this? I don't know, it has coconut flakes on the surface. Hmm? Cheese flavor? I ordered it but don't know the flavor. This one has some pink on the surface. I don't know what flavor it is. Let's try. It's taro. Not taro paste, but taro chunks. Chunky pieces. Not overly sweet taro. More like natural taro flavor. Alright, next is red bean. I guess it has red bean chunks too. Yes, that's right. Not red bean paste. Turns out the ones with nothing on the surface have the best texture. So smooth like a baby with talcum powder. Is there chocolate in the middle of the chocolate flavor? Eating one piece isn't enough. Definitely worth queuing up to buy. And not that expensive. Look. Wow, this is amazing! Hmm. It looks like a Ferrero Rocher. There's a hazelnut inside. Yes, a Ferrero Rocher. They put a Ferrero Rocher inside. K will finish the leftovers behind the camera. Haha. Haha. I think you can order the assorted pack. Tasting all the flavors is so much fun. What’s going on? The chocolate is too good. I want more chocolate. Since the other fillings are not very strong, the overall taste is quite mild. So I think the strong chocolate flavor is definitely super delicious. It’s the best match, I think. So he decided to order more. He hasn't even finished eating and he’s already ordering 3 more chocolate ones. Mr. K says the chocolate sauce tastes a lot like Nutella. And I think with the hazelnut bits, it tastes just like Ferrero Rocher. They even sprinkle chocolate powder on the outside. So much filling. No wonder Mr. K wants 3 more. He decided to eat them on the spot. He didn’t even want the packaging to save the environment. Here you go. You eat it all. I'll eat this one. You rascal. No second-hand mochi for me. You're treating me like a beggar. You said it's delicious. You didn’t say the chocolate one was second-hand. So, you eat the second-hand one yourself. I’ll take a bite out of each and give them to you. Finally, got it back. Hmm... You need to talk. It’s so good. So good. It's a must-try, everyone. I recommend everyone to try it. In Hong Kong, we have Maltesers mochi too, but it doesn’t compare to this. This one is much softer. It's way, way, way, way softer... and the skin is thinner. The filling is abundant. I saw them adding a lot of chocolate sauce and hazelnut bits. Okay, let’s head to Taipei 101 now. There's a festive atmosphere with street performances and acrobatics. It's so lively in Xinyi District on weekends. Really bustling. The cheapest observatory ticket for the 89th floor of Taipei 101 costs 600 NTD.
