I'm off to Taiwan now. First time abroad in several years. I am looking forward to it. I have arrived in Taiwan. First, I bought a SIM card at the airport, and then moved to the city center. I got a phone number for Taiwan. I'm going to leave my luggage at the hotel and start exploring Taipei. I'm hungry, so I want to eat something first. An amazing amount of bikes. We arrived at the famous Lurouhan Restaurant. It's a very popular restaurant, so there's a huge line. It's so easy to get there. Looks delicious. It smells good. I want to have one lo mein and another one. Is this one? What is pig brain soup? It looks disgusting. Qinggengcai (Chinese cabbage). The color is a little yellow.
It's true. What is it? Melon? It looks like a pickle. The meat is tender. The sauce is delicious. Lots of garlic. It's delicious. The garlic is very effective, so it makes me hungry. It was delicious. It's the real Taiwanese fried rice. I'm a little busy because I have to go to a lot of places because I picked up so many things. In Taiwan, people eat and eat and eat. Why don't you check how much you're gaining weight? It is very convenient. The place I'm going to now is one street back from the main street of Yongkang Street. There it is. A store that specializes in soy milk. Shiba Ma Soy Milk Sheng Tai & Na Teh Soy Milk I was really interested in this one when I saw it online. As a soy milk lover, I couldn't pass it up. It's so thick. The surface of the ice cream is crunchy and delicious. It tastes so good for you. Even though it is allowed to take off masks in Taiwan (except in limited places), a lot of people wear masks. It is almost the same as in Japan. Even though masks are not required, about 90% of the people in Tokyo wear masks. I found Din Tai Fung. I think I can get in without waiting in line. I hear the bread is delicious in Taiwan.
Bread?
Yes, bread. The walking symbol of the traffic light is cute. This, this, this. Lots of bread. I'll get a drink too. I don't know much, but there's a line of people, so I'll go here. I've never seen this before. I didn't know they had machines like this. I bought some food and drinks, so I'm going to enjoy them in the nearby park. Looks like there's a place to sit. It looks empty. They have shaved ice. That's Ice Monster! It was very famous in Japan. It was very popular for a while. Enjoy it. It's so heavy. Xue Pinch Cake Sticky. Not the cheese?
Dough dough. Eggs and corn topping. Corn is everywhere. There are so many people lined up. Is this a famous restaurant? There are many lunghi restaurants that specialize in lunghi rice. Many of them say "xiaolongbao" instead of "xiaolongbao". If there is soup in the package, is it called "xiaolongdoupao"? Or do you mean soup or sauce?
Or is it gravy? Or does it mean hot? Is there such a thing as cold dumplings?
I don't think so, so I think it's probably because it has sauce in it. Is it used differently, or is it the same in Taiwan?
Is there a difference? Here, right?
Here, here! There are so many people. Location of "Solitary Gourmet There is this Goro-san set. I'll have the chicken rice and vegetables. I'll have that and the tanzai mian. It's quite refreshing. The rice with the sauce is delicious. Isn't this amazing? Lots of vegetables and meat. It goes well with this rice. I thought the sauce would be a little strange, but it's not strange at all, and it's a taste that Japanese people like. The noodles are sticky. Maybe the garlic taste is a little strong. I'm happy to eat Goro's set The street here is amazing. It's so crowded. There were lines everywhere. It's not that close to the station. Maybe it's because there are so many good restaurants here. Is this the main street? This place looks so nice. Is it still Chinese New Year? A TV crew. Are they filming for a trip? I can't believe I'm meeting them here. This area has a great atmosphere. Wow, what is this place? Is it famous? Isn't this Daifuku? Wow, that's amazing. I'm going to use my first taxi app to call a taxi. Does it come with this? Probably looking for it now. Two minutes. He'll be here soon. The taxi drivers are very friendly. Yoshinoya. A bowl of rice is 125 Taiwan dollars. That's a little expensive. I didn't know there was such a thing as a chicken bowl. We don't have that in Japan. The Mapo Beef Bowl looks delicious, doesn't it? It's true. Extremely high cost performance I'm really intrigued. I think the "撞奶" is probably bubble milk. I think I'll try it. It's the most popular. No, he is asking if you want ice This tapioca tastes like brown sugar. It might be good for dessert. I'll drink it when I get back to the hotel. Here is today's hotel. It looks very luxurious, doesn't it? palais de chine hotel
A hotel in the area of Taipei Station that incorporates oriental flair into the huagua of the French court. The rooms are like this. Beautiful. This tea package, coffee and water (inside) seem to be free. There is a charge for the items in the refrigerator. There are bathrobes. The bath is like this. It's in a circle and the bottom is quite deep. Is this Taipei Station? What is this place?
Everyone is sitting down. This place is huge.
The ceiling is high. I'm taking the subway to Shilin Night Market. It's only 5 o'clock, and 5 o'clock music is playing. Suddenly there are many shops. There was a long line of people.
Is it Jipai? Oh, here it comes, stinky tofu. It's been a long time. The smell is amazing. There are so many smells.
From sweet to salty. I came to Shilin Night Market in the light of day. There are so many things to play too. What should we eat?
Let's walk around and decide what to eat. Squid looks delicious. Watermelon juice is too extravagant and hard to find in Japan. Cheese and egg shrimp. Looks delicious. What is this? There are so many targets.
It looks so nice. Let's go down to the food court. Teppanyaki.
It smells so good. Japanese celebrities are here. I wonder if this star means it's recommended. Here comes the sticky rice. This sticky rice is just meat. It's very tasty. It's good. The sauce is delicious.
The meat is tender. Lots of meat.
The skin is sticky and tasty. This is a little different from the picture. This is a good amount.
You can eat a lot of things. It was so hot.
If you're not careful, you'll end up in the restaurant. It was night. There were many shops lined up in a row, and I felt that this was the best night market in Taiwan. The squid pancakes look delicious. It smells so good. It looks delicious, doesn't it? Beautiful lanterns. What kind of juice is this?
Winter melon. It's quite expensive.
Yes, it is. Maybe because it's made from a whole fruit. It smells amazing. What is it? Is it an egg? I don't know which ones are good, so I'll just stand in line for a while. I'm really curious about this mushroom. There must be a long line of people. They are so delicious.
The mushrooms are juicy, aren't they? A little spicy. Delicious. Crunchy.
Freshly fried. Salt and pepper well done. Delicious. It was on TV recently, wasn't it? I wanted to eat it so badly after seeing it. It's huge, by the way. Today I want to go to Taipei to see the lantern festival. I wonder what it looks like. It looks a little strange, doesn't it?
That's right. It's terraced. It's projection mapping. You can look at it all the time. It looks like a candle when you look at it like that. If the sky had been clear, you would have seen the lights above more clearly. This is the future exhibition area of the Lantern Festival, right? It's quite a large area. There are many more here. If we keep looking, we'll never get to the main area. I think this is the main area. Isn't that a carrot? It's the Year of the Rabbit. Carrots are a rabbit's favorite food.That's very thoughtful. There are many rabbits. It's stuck, the carrot. It looks futuristic, doesn't it? I got a good shot. This is the sky tree.
It's very carefully reproduced It was about 10 times bigger than I imagined.
It was interesting. Today we went to this restaurant for breakfast. There are no pictures, so I can only judge from the words. I don't know what to do. I wonder if I can understand it. It's even the name of the restaurant, so I might as well eat it. Is it a drink? It looks like soy milk. Oiled rice cake
Duck cake with egg It is coated with sesame oil and smells like sesame oil. There are many ingredients in it. It is like soy milk porridge. It is good for the body. I wonder what that brown thing is. Could it be an oil garment?
I ordered the fried bean curd. I didn't think they were that big. I wonder if it would taste good with this. I want to try it in a different way. Oh, this is delicious. Since the taste is not too strong, it might be fun to eat it with different things. It might be fun to find different combinations that you like. All mixed together. The breakfast in Taiwan is delicious. I don't have the culture of going out for breakfast in Japan, so it was quite refreshing. I am still looking forward to enjoying Taiwan to the fullest, so please stay tuned for more Taiwan stories.
