How to describe this?
-
Great.
-
For those of you who don't know, Taiwan does not play when it comes to food.
-
So, I thought it would be fun to invite some of my friends who've never had it before and see what they think of it.
-
I don't think I've ever had Taiwanese food.
-
I've had Chinese food.
-
Probably had it once without knowing it.
-
Heysong Sarsaparilla.
-
Oh.
-
Oh.
-
This is root beer.
-
I want to put ice cream in it.
-
It's like bubble gum.
-
Bubble gum, some apple juice.
-
Bubble gum?
-
Bubble gum soda?
-
Yeah, a little bit like a cream soda?
-
Yeah.
-
A little, like it's very, very sweet.
-
Oooooh.
-
This looks like Korean pancakes.
-
It's very buttery.
-
There's oil in between every layer of this.
-
Yeah.
-
I would dip it in sauce.
-
Yeah, there's like flaky layers.
-
I feel uncomfortable watching you peel it open.
-
Why?
-
I'm diggin' it.
-
It reminds me a lot of latkes.
-
Every culture has something like a tortilla.
-
This definitely tastes Asian as f*ck, so...
-
Is that garlic?
-
Is it just straight up cloves of garlic?
-
It doesn't have, like, the spice taste that a lot of sausages have.
-
Huh?
-
You don't like it?
-
No, no, it's not that I don't like it, I just haven't tasted this before.
-
It's kind of sweet.
-
But it's like a good sweet.
-
I don't get it, because sausage is ground up.
-
But this doesn't look ground up; it looks like it was ham.
-
I love the garlic with it.
-
I'm not mad at this.
-
The garlic is strong.
-
I love garlic, but it's a decision to eat straight garlic.
-
Yeah, I'll eat that.
-
Oh, my God, noodles.
-
It smells so good.
-
This is bok choy?
-
Funny because when I eat that kind of food, I never eat the cabbage.
-
Why don't you eat the cabbage, YB? It's great!
-
I really like this.
-
Refreshing and naturey.
-
This is definitely, like, a lighter dish you would have.
-
It's not too salty and it's not too sweet.
-
It's good, you know, it's beef noodle soup.
-
The thing with pho is that the beef gets overcooked.
-
Yeah, I gotta take you to better places, then.
-
Oh... egg.
-
Oh my gosh.
-
This is like Bulgogi.
-
Yeah, I was about to say, this looks kinda like Bulgogi.
-
Taiwanese food is really similar to Korean food.
-
Oh, my gosh.
-
I love dishes that have multiple animals in them.
-
It almost melts in your mouth 'cause it's so... it's just so soft.
-
As a kid, I always ate rice and I always hated eating rice 'cause then I'd always have to like, mix it with the meat and stuff like this, but this is like, drenched in like it's own sauce.
-
Yaaaas, all the way.
-
There weren't like a million ingredients in each thing, there were like three to five ingredients in every dish, but they work very well together.
-
Just like a few ingredients, all happily chillin' together in your mouth.
-
A++!
-
Get you some Taiwanese food or get you someone who knows how to make authentic Taiwanese food.
-
You can't have bland pork, you crazy?
-
Is it just going to be an ad for pork?
-
Yeah!
-
Eat pork!
-
Yeah, yeah, I think that's...
-
Brought to you by pork.
-
Brought to you by pork.
