  • For 24 Hours I lived just on $1 Meals in Taiwan. This 24 hour challenge was an interesting way to find affordable and cheap $1 foods like, Taiwanese street food handmade pizza, fried foods, and traditional Taiwanese street foods like a jumbo omelette . Other then $1 street food I saw different vending machine businesses, fast food and overall the Taiwanese street food culture. Enjoy this crazy challenge in Taiwan!

    When you went to buy a bun, the vendor said that most of buns are sold out. They could only provide the rest of buns(like the pork bun in video) to you.

    The oyster vermicelli is one of my favorite dishes. You probably shouldn't have gone with the spicy version on your first try. It also comes with pig intestines for the most authentic version. The pork bun is an Asian classic. Sad you didn't get to try the xiao long bao (little dragon buns) or beef noodle soup. These are other famous Taiwanese food everyone needs to try at least once.

    When I was in Taiwan I couldn't even get close to the fried stinky tofu! The smell was way too pungent and I gagged if I got a wiff. I had to hold my breath and run into a shop if I smelt it. The smell lingers in your hair and on your clothes and you can even smell it in the sewers! But grilled stinky tofu was bearable! I didn't eat it but my friend got it, and I held it and took a picture lol

      I'd love to do that! However, I don't have that kind of luxury to travel the entire world right now :(
