-
EDDIE HUANG: Yeah, definitely.
-
We both want to get high.
-
Betel nut, bing lang, is an amphetamine you get up.
-
It's tingly.
-
I remember the first time I ate chewing tobacco, I drank a
-
half bottle of Stoli and then puked all over this chick on
-
family day at the University of Pittsburgh.
-
So I hope this doesn't end the same way.
-
-Eddie Huang.
-
DAVID: They lost our tripod, so we might have to
-
rent one out here.
-
EDDIE HUANG: We haven't been here an hour and the dude
-
already got jacked.
-
It's not looking good.
-
This dude's doing calisthenics with a strap-on.
-
OK, George, I will tell you when we see a good one.
-
All right, pull up, George, I'm going to open my door.
-
Hello, hallelujah, holla back, women like a bing lang.
-
-Bing lang.
-
EDDIE HUANG: Good.
-
Uh-huh.
-
Yes.
-
The most famous Taiwan marketing retail shit is betel
-
nut beauties, all right?
-
Betel nut is a very popular amphetamine and it's like a
-
kind of chewing tobacco, but it gets you really up.
-
It's very popular all throughout Asia, but Taiwan is
-
famous for betel nut beauties.
-
And I mean, we don't really have a beauty here.
-
This one clearly has seen better days, b.
-
So they take rice wine and they put other things, like
-
amphetamines that'll get you up, get you excited, and
-
everybody has their own little mixture.
-
And the trick with the betel nut is, you've got to, just
-
like this, bite the top off.
-
You want to chew, and you want to spit out the first, right?
-
Just like you're cooking.
-
Throw out the first.
-
And then you just chew it.
-
It's like chewing tobacco.
-
It kinda just gets you zooming.
-
I try not to do it too much because, as you can see,
-
George, come here, smile George.
-
See?
-
Before, after.
-
[LAUGH]
-
I'm a kidnap her, feed her to my mattress.
-
Thank you.
-
[SPEAKING CHINESE].
-
-Bye-bye.
-
EDDIE HUANG: Bye-bye.
-
Wait, didn't we already cop from this shorty?
-
Oh watch out, be careful, be careful.
-
They will run you over, b.
-
This is one of many night markets in Taiwan, but Shilin
-
is definitely the most famous.
-
Yo, this is the always imitated, never duplicated Hot
-
Star large fried chicken, all right?
-
You'll see they put a little seasoning on here.
-
There's chili powder, there's a little five spice, salt and
-
sugar, here we go.
-
Listen.
-
Listen to this sound.
-
It's Like Rice Krispies.
-
Super crispy and they're real juicy, bursting, with juice,
-
and then that seasoning--
-
you just smell it, it's crazy.
-
Hot Star.
-
So this is a sausage stuffed with sticky rice.
-
Sometimes they'll put shiitake mushrooms, some shallots, and
-
he's wiping it with a sweet soy then he just came with
-
some pickled radish over there.
-
Then there's some more pickled [SPEAKING CHINESE]
-
that we had earlier today.
-
[BURP]
-
Excuse me.
-
Cucumbers shredded, and then a Taiwanese red sausage.
-
Sausage in a sausage.
-
It's like eating a sausage with a sticky rice condom on.
-
And you enjoy it a lot more than you would think.
-
EDDIE HUANG: Ice.
-
GEORGE: Ice.
-
EDDIE HUANG: Penis ice.
-
Penis ice.
-
You like to put it in your mouth.
-
[LAUGH]
-
I'd say top five most popular Taiwanese night market foods,
-
this called a [SPEAKING CHINESE].
-
They use the funkiness of the bamboo, the essence of the
-
pork, some shiitake mushrooms, some shallots, and they'll
-
make a ground meat mixture.
-
In that big mixing bowl is the starch mixture.
-
Then they'll put the filling in.
-
Once it's filled, it's shaped.
-
Once it's shaped, it goes here and steamed, then topped with
-
the sauce over there.
-
Sometimes people do a little sweet chili too.
-
The thing about Asian food that always bugs Westerners
-
out-- savory foods with a gelatinous texture.
-
This is probably like the boogieman food to an American
-
and Western palate.
-
But I love this.
-
And it's the quintessential Taiwanese flavor.
-
Yo, mega pause.
-
Giant waffle dills.
-
You can give to your friends.
-
And you can scare your friends.
-
And you can take it to the party.
-
And you will be the focus of the party because you brought
-
a box, a $10 box, of penis waffles.
-
What better present to, like, a baby shower?
-
Hey ma, what's really good?
-
We've got the Plaxico Burress here.
-
We've got the Dhani Jones.
-
We've got the Victor Cruz.
-
We've got the Lawrence Tynes.
-
We've got the Eli Manning.
-
Yo, look at shorty here.
-
How could you get yourself caught wide open like this?
-
Who volunteers themselves for these photos?
-
Oh my god, this is the Lexington Steele chocolate
-
crazy crispy dills.
-
Oh my god.
-
[LAUGH]
-
I'm not eating this because you would have to lick this.
-
You would have to suck this.
-
-Ice dicks?
-
EDDIE HUANG: No!
-
[LAUGH]
-
Oh.
-
DAVID: Eddie look, though, check it out.
-
Check it out.
-
There's nuts in the nuts.
-
EDDIE HUANG: I can't do it, dude.
-
DAVID: You can't do it.
-
EDDIE HUANG: I can't.
-
DAVID: You can't?
-
EDDIE HUANG: My grandpa would be so disappointed.
-
Who is this?
-
Who is this?
-
DAVID: [LAUGH]
-
EDDIE HUANG: Yo, wait, you put it in your mouth.
-
We've got the handcuffs on you, Alcatraz.
-
Here, hey, G's up, frozen dills down.
-
[LAUGH]
-
Only in Taiwan will you find a penis waffle
-
stand with the tagline--
-
a piece of [FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
-
I don't know what else to say about Taiwan.
-
I don't know what to say about the night market.
-
I think this dick in a box that says it all.
-
Fresh off the Boat, one chain, two dills.
-
I'm Eddie Huang, we out.
-
What just happened, b?
-
Why is everybody looking at me?
-
Is there some shit on my face?
-
So yo, it's like after midnight.
-
You wasted.
-
You just came out of the club.
-
You didn't catch any tang.
-
So where would you and your homies go?
-
Not the bar.
-
Not nobody's crib to do some blow.
-
We at the hottest spot in fucking Taiwan--
-
24-hour motherfucking shrimp city, b.
-
Let's go.
-
You've got a little Whack-a-Mole, Jigpa.
-
You've got some Hot Shot.
-
A peep game over here.
-
Grab a beer, go shrimping, all right?
-
This could be like the Soho House except, instead of
-
shorties in the pool, you've got shrimps.
-
Got 'em.
-
It was the one-armed man.
-
-[SPEAKING CHINESE]
-
EDDIE HUANG: Oh, man.
-
Dude, that shrimp squirted me.
-
In the world of sport fishing, this is like shrimp hookers.
-
You pay to play.
-
There's no game.
-
You put your fucking dick in the water.
-
You catch skrimps.
-
Chef, how many more minutes?
-
Chef says we can eat it.
-
I'm just curious if this is a good look, to be eating shrimp
-
out of that pool.
-
It's kind of like the baths that I used to catch in golf
-
course ponds.
-
Ooh, look at that.
-
So you look around at this fucking 24-hour shrimp club--
-
a lot of long faces, a couple of SARS masks, a
-
lot of single dudes.
-
There's one shorty.
-
This has got to be one of the most depressing places to
-
spend an evening.
-
When we're not here people probably put their
-
feet in this shit.
-
It smells like a hot spring.
-
I have no idea what's-- this water is mother fucking green,
-
and there's no vegetation.
-
You really, probably, should not be eating these skrimps.
-
I feel like this for show and for sport, but then there's
-
not much sport to it, either.
-
And on that note, we motherfucking out.
-
Fresh off the Boat with Eddie Huang, Taiwan.
-
Peace.

-On the next episode of Fresh off the Boat.
