We start with breakfast at a local eatery which serves freshly baked flatbread. You can watch the dough being rolled out which is filled with spring onions and topped with sesame seeds before it’s slapped on the inside of an oil drum oven. We order a flatbread with an omelette sandwiched inside and wash it down with a cold doujiang or soy milk. Fresh, doughy and completely more-ish.
We head to the suburb of Daqiatou next and slurp down a plate of cold sesame noodles. Wheat noodles are topped with a thick sesame sauce, shredded cucumber, pickled cabbage and chilli. It’s the perfect thing to be eating on a hot day. It’s full of varying textures and flavours.
Onwards to our next stop for a bowl of rice topped with pork knuckle which has been slowly braised in soy. Served with egg, pickled mustard greens and some blanched choy sum- this is one amazing bowl of food. The pork is tender as anything and the richness of the meat is balanced by the pickled and fresh vegetables.
We then head to a famous stall which sells cong you bing- spring onion pancakes. A wheat flour dough, dotted with chopped spring onions is flattened and then cooked on a hot plate. Hot, flaky and fragrant- this is one savoury pancake worth eating. It’s very much like a roti or a paratha which you’d find in Malaysia and Singapore (sans spring onion).
Our final stop is to a local eatery which specialises in bawan- Taiwanese meatballs. A loose mixture of pork mince is covered in a sweet potato and rice flour mixture before being steamed. The meatball skin is gloopy and soft whilst the meatball is full of flavour. A couple of squirts of chilli sauce are the perfect accompaniment.

Oh wow over the braised pork. My stomach also cheered loudly for it, as well. Those meatballs looked amazing and very unique.
Another great video guys..i most likely would like to try that Bawan…seems delicious.By the way…its going to Hit 50K subs real soon. Congrats guys. Keep producing more video. Cheers
Are they couple or mum and step son?
Nice video!!!
11:50, $25TWD should be $0.80USD…..
delicius food. ..I like
That looks like the best breakfast, fresh bread rolls straight from the oven. But since we love to make our own pancakes in the morning, we are carving for those scallion pancakes. BTW, it looks so quiet on the streets, is it always like that in Taipei? Take care friends!
Do you think Indian food is unique? Do you miss it?
I've loved the Taiwan video series, and this one delivers as well. Everything looked great, but I think the cold noodles really made my mouth water. I also like the different textures from each of the stops. 👍
We're going to have to add Taipei to our travel list! Thanks for the recommendations guys!
hello the food look so attractive in the channel you support me thank you
Those pork knuckles looked amazing thanks again for a high-quality food tour
That's it, Taipei here I come. 😀
I love that you guys take massive bites! I hate seeing food videos and they take the tiniest nibble 😅 another enjoyable video guys 👍🏽 makes me so hungry and i just ate 🤤
There is no doubt that most of the times you find some unique food from the street and sometimes very deep from the street. Well done, guys.
Ahh it all looks so good. But that noodle dish though.. that's just over the top! 🙌- Trevor
We went to that same scallion pancake stall just a week and change ago! Got it with an omelette and fresh basil inside and it was so good! That Taipei heat is no joke
Great job guys! Love how the Taipei food scene is sooo massive! I don’t think we hit the same places at all! I almost went to the pork knuckle place and y’all made me regret not getting there😂
hiii… selamat petang thomas and sheena…!!! apa khabar guys di TAIWAN..??? wow… what a good food from taiwan… i love it.. thanks for this video… what are you doing now ???
Perhaps some day I'll get to visit Taiwan.

Fantastic video…thanks for sharing…!
The braised pork knuckles rice looks so delicious and feel like flying there now . Thomas let us have the address and which day closed.
A good video well presented.
How i miss the food in Taiwan. Soo yummy.
Your videos are so underrated! Really nice vibe from you both !
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋👍👍
Lordy, lordy, lordy. This food vlog was sublime. I want them all. Fantastic job on the choices and the vlog.
You couple are good at hunting Taiwanese foods
I’ll have one of everything please….
Bawan is so interesting, its a cross between a sort of steamed dumpling and a sticky Chee Cheong Fun the entire point of it is lost on me other than perhaps the texture of the whole thing. Incredibly unusual but obviously oh so scrumptious given you went back for seconds!! Reminds me of the baby octopus you ate in Sth Korea sticking to the plate and chopsticks. Spring onion pancakes are delicious, l never knew they are Taiwanese. Crispy, flacky carbs mmmm
No protein for the cold noodles. The braised pork knuckles is my top favorite here. Xiao Ban & Scallion Pancakes are pretty similar. Bawan can be use as Dim Sum Dishes.
Oh that looked so yummy, so interesting using potato starch instead of rice. Never seen that before. Thank you for sharing 😁🙏
很好吃！My favourite thing about Taiwan is finding these small, unassuming restaurants that serve amazing food. Do you have the address for the 蔥油餅 stall? I'm heading into Taipei tomorrow and I wanna find it!
Binge watching your videos during Auckland lockdown 4.0, after lockdown next week we are going to try your DaDi Spring pancake from your recent video, soooo 🤤
The ba wan is not the traditional version. Should try the fried version. Much better than the steamed version IMO.
