    Mikes reactions are always seem genuine and honest. When he does get excited about a dish it doesn’t come across as exaggerated or contrived rather just pure hoy and contentment - a truly vicarious experience.

    Great narration Mike, keep up the great videos. You positively express your flavour likes and dislikes providing honest opinions on the food you taste. I have watched other videos but they do not come close to yours as you tell it like it is. Well done!

    @hoolerboris 7 років тому +15

    Props for giving your honest opinions about all the foods, instead of pretending that every dish is the best thing you ever ate. When travelling around the world, it's not uncommon to go to a restaurant you've been looking forward to, and finding that the food does not meet expectations. And nice entertaining video with nice food.

    Thank you sooooo much! I spent 3 months in Tainan during my studies and I loved it! Not only for the food, but mostly for the food! You made me crave the local delicacies that I've missed for - OMG!!! is it 20 years already????

    Omg. A food vlogger who actually tells what they think about the dish!
    It's so nice to see someone say 'oh it's ok' instead of 'omg this is just the most delicious thing I've ever eaten'.

    And it's glad to hear that you love my hometown and food. Simple but delicious is very appropriate to describe our food.
    Next time when you visit Tainan, you can try 土魠魚羹麵、碗糕、春捲, these are also delicious!!

    I have still never tried eel. One day. It used to be hugely popular, cheap food for poor people. But then it became rare, fished nearly out of existence and so now it is fashionable and, therefore, usually expensive! Thank you for the video!

    So glad you enjoyed the food in Tainan. As a local here in Tainan, the lamb place you tried is good but it isn’t the best place I would recommend to my friends. The best place to have lamb soup in Tainan is called 包成羊肉. This place will blow your mind. They open at around 5am and the food is often sold out at around 9am. That’s how good it is. And right next to 包成羊肉, there’s a place that sells milkfish soup called 阿堂鹹粥, which is also really popular here. Another place to have Tainan style beef hot pot is called 劉家莊. Best beef hot pot ever! Definitely try their beef meatballs. If you ever come back to Tainan, you could try these places. I promise you won’t regret it.

  • @LakePlacidBear
    @LakePlacidBear 6 років тому

    A local Taiwanese, and a little late to the party here, but Mike - I recommend you to try turkey on rice in Chiayi. They were originated from there and every single stand/restaurant that serves it in Chiayi is just mind-blowing. I dont wanna say that the turkey rice in Tainan is bad, there are plenty of good ones out there too, but trust me, the ones in Chiayi are way more delicious and they have absolutely different taste than the one you ate.
    Nice video as always! Thx for the vid and hope you come visit Taiwan again in the near future. There're so many different types of food you can enjoy here!

      Layzee Nguyen - Yep. Pple who like hot food really live for that sensation. My grandpa, a Tennesean, put hot sauce on everything he ate. He just shook it across his plate: the veggies, starches, meats and beans. Only his drink and dessert remained unscathed.
