hey what's up guys day one and high 1
it's 7:00 in the morning first thing I'm
going to do today is get something to
eat cuz starving look at all the stuff I
have to bring with me today got my big
heavy bag with my laptop bunch of
equipment in there I got my cannon that
doesn't really fit into any bag and I
got a suitcase full of equipment and
props for videos we're about to shoot
[Applause]
here oh the humidity just hit me it's
supposed to be thunderstorming here in
Taiwan all week but at least it's sunny
today couple of observations first of
all I love Taiwan it just puts me in a
good mood secondly as humid and as hot
as it is it's nowhere compared to what
Hong was like when I was over
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
there I was walking to the subway stop
and I sawell this little food stall
right beside it since I'm starving and
what caught my attention was that they
were serving Taiwan hamburgers this is
my hamburger right here nice fried egg
some lettuce and a slab of beef with
some what looks like sauteed onions and
uh cucumbers on the bottom this is
called a shra bean or hand grab pancakes
uh it's different from the scam pancake
it's much flakier there's many more
layers to
this sweet almost a very tiaki is flavor
pancake look so
awesome crispy fluffy eggy love this
that whole meal was about1 tai1 and that
really hit the spot in then
[Music]
some high one sub has got these little
plastic Monopoly es uh little coins and
what you do is when you go in you skan
it and when you come back out you put it
in unlike Hong Kong one thing I noticed
about Taiwan this is around uh 10:00
a.m. it's a work day so there literally
no one in the Subways same thing in Hong
Kong still
[Music]
packed
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
it's lunchtime I don't know what's
around here I I just ate like 2 hours
ago but let's eat again
hello uh this is really cute it's bunch
of kids I think they're on summer camp
or something I'll dress the same of
dumplings in
Taiwan this is what's called Pearl wons
oh man it's falling apart little bitty
size wons this is their version of hot
oil wons I got three types of dumplings
one is their house special um the other
is kimchi and another is Curry I'm
thinking this is curry and I'm thinking
this is kimchi cuz I'm seeing the uh the
spice seeking out of
this that's surprisingly spicy actually
nice andm it because the skin is so thin
on this won I'm interested about this
Curry dumpling this is exactly what they
said it was a lot of Cy in The
[Music]
Dumpling it's kind of freaking me out
because it's so much curry flavor but
it's a dumpling I never actually had
anything with that combo before I love
how these convenience stores look at all
the teas they have here that and then
wow at all
that and then of course the ramen noodle
section look at all that good morning
day two from Tai 1 sorry I didn't update
what happened last night maybe because I
just passed out so sleepy completely jet
lagging and today breakfast is from 7:11
because apparently that's the only thing
open at 5:00 in the morning when you
have jaet leg and can't sleep anymore so
um first of all got a spicy meat
bun interesting I got to say 7vs here I
like so much better than one is in the
states I mean if I want to go get a
slushie in the states I go to 7-Eleven
but here I can get a meat
buun um another breakfast uh item of
choice is big bowl of ramen look at that
see that I think it's like it covers my
whole face spicy so this is
Thea um so this is a spicy hot pot beef
noodle also from 711 a tea
egg there you go of course 7eleven is
not sponsoring this video but thank you
all so much for being open this early in
the morning or actually I don't think
they ever close this sauce pack is
literally a
pound and then you got I guess the dry
pack
and whatever this
is oh my God I think there's like
there's congealed meat in
here
e dud I don't know this is actually meat
yep there's pieces of beef in here it's
like giving birth to Ramen
beef
despite that package of liquid beef this
looks pretty good let's try the 71 bun
this is the spicy bun it's a lot of BUN
and definitely not enough filling that's
like false advertising because if you
read it it says it's mostly filling and
the picture look
beautiful definitely tastes like I got
it from a convenience
store just
ramen is
superb
W nice chewy noodles dare I try a piece
of the packaged
beef all
right tastes a little dehydrated but um
it's not
bad good ramen
noodles that's some pretty excellent tea
egg H wow nice tea flavor soak all the
way through I will go back for more tea
eggs the reason I got this tea egg was
that I was at the checkout counter and I
saw this old uh Taiwanese auntie and she
was getting a bunch of tea eggs so I'm
thinking that lady should definitely
know her tea eggs and she does end of my
second full day here in Taipei if I look
sleepy and tired I am um basically if
you guys if I I probably didn't explain
this much in the beginning I'm here in
Tye to work with a lot of um having
these YouTubers on uh Chinese language
channel so I'm with them all day and uh
and I'm extremely extremely extremely
jet lagged so now it's like 8:00 at
night I'm trying to get something to eat
starving and I like it's sweltering heat
outside you can tell I'm like just
sweating through my shirt I'm walking
through an Alleyway back to my hotel and
I feel completely safe like I would
never do this if this is like any random
Metropolitan city in the US cuz we all
know right dark alley stay out of them
but here this is really awesome morning
I only have two more days here in Taiwan
and the reason I haven't been vlogging a
lot um is because I've just been working
all the time I work eat come home and I
just pass out because I'm extremely
jeted this morning I'm going to go film
my first food video in high1 right now
it's about 7:00 in the morning and I'm
going to go get a nice hearty bowl of
braced pork belly over rice the bra pork
over rice place is right near the shanai
shik Memorial
[Music]
Hall I know I'm here to film bra pork
over rise but that bun place looks
really good everyone basically has a
moped here in taipe I mean I would feel
kind of on yey running one of these
things this traffic look looks
[Music]

really not not looking forward to but
