    I’m in Taipei right now and I’ve really learned a lot of useful information from your videos. It’s a great destination and organized so that tourists who don’t speak Chinese can get around. Also I point a lot.

    Mike, you and the team should come and visit Scotland, learn where Angus beef comes from, and give haggis a try, and search for good old Nessie while your here,. Come during the summer and you can see the sun set between egg and rum ( Scottish islands) .

    One of the few item we disagree on i think sometimes broccoli is my favourite veg, so good stir-fryed oh and broccoli and parmesan/stilton soup, now I want that soup and spicy stir-fry for dinner such a warmer on a cold day. Love getting ideas from you even if it does come from a rabbit hole of ideas (see one thing and gives me ideas) keep up good work, your vids make me so hungry.

    hahaha, definitely know the "air" about taipei you are talking about, i think its the city smell brought out by the humidity of taipei. Also the jiggly cake you ate seems to be 古早味蛋糕(old style cake), they have become pretty popular the last couple years

  • @sleepingkirby
    @sleepingkirby 7 років тому +5

    Hey Mike. Awesome video as always. Some answers and some questions.
    "There's something in the air that lets you know it's Taipei" Yes, that's is very true. I personally think it's the mood/speed of the people in Taipei plus it's style. I've always told my wife (American) that I like places where there's life. She didn't understand what I meant until she visited Taipei with me.
    "九層塔" (nine layer pagoda?) is what's commonly labeled in english as "Thai Basil". If it's called something different by other parts of chinese culture, I would love to know. It's a veggie/herb that I can't live without >.<
    Where was the place that you got 刈包 at? It's it's going to be on a strictly dumpling video, you don't have to tell me. I'll wait until the video comes out.
    Did you grow up with simplified or traditional chinese? If simplified, did you have any problems reading the traditional in Taiwan? Or was it not a big deal because you can always just ask verbally?

    蛋餅忘了加你最愛的辣椒了~~~
    茶的部分評價可能要像咖啡或是紅酒這樣的評價方法會比較好,因為冠軍茶的話不見得像你說的那樣有人工香料,而是當年當地的天氣茶種製茶的功夫都配合得很好,尤其是春茶更是如此,香味迷人,口感清雅,回韻無窮,齒頰留香還有會讓人生津的效果~喝了會非常舒服的~只是非常難得,台灣的製茶工藝,是有百年以上的歷史,以前還有所謂的"鬥茶"就猶如紅酒評鑑還有咖啡評鑑一般,是非常嚴厲可怕的比賽~

    Hey Mike, been watching your videos for years, first time leave a comment though. Love your videos. Just so you know, 九层塔 is just the Chinese name for basil.

    • @MsCherade9
      @MsCherade9 7 років тому

      YIBING LI We call it Thai Basil or Holy Basil here in the UK. It's difficult to get here in Edinburgh, hoping that I can find it in Glasgow when we move next summer!

    • @yibingli6772
      @yibingli6772 7 років тому +1

      I think in the video they were using regular Italian Basil, which is actually a little bit different from Thai Basil or Holy Basil. Italian Basil has smoother leaves compared to the other kind. If you have had Phó at a Vietnamese restaurant, the green leavy thing they serve you along with the bean sprouts and lime wedges is Thai Basil. I live in the states, and I don't ususally see Thai Basil at regular grocery stores often either. Maybe you can try your local Asain grocery store when you get a chance?
