I've travelled to Taiwan a couple of times and honestly couldn't fault Taiwanese hospitality and how polite most of them are. Always helpful and smiles at most times even in some cases if the shops could be crowded or simply if the service staff might be having a bad day, but they will ensure to welcome everyone with a certain level of friendliness. Of course there are a handful here and there or those extremely popular shops which don't have such top service - but that is probably just a very small minority. Watching your videos and tiktok videos do make me miss Taiwan.
As a Taiwanese, I recommended you to go to Tainan to try different dishes there because northern and southern Taiwan has different styles of cooking,the flavor in southern Taiwan is sweeter than northern, furthermore, there are so many famous dishes in Tainan that can only be taste in Tainan , such as beef soup(different from beef noodles because it’s made of very fresh beef) coffin breads,rice noodle soup with squid and eel noodles. There are different food that represents each cities,for examples, Gongwan and rice noodles represented Hsinchu, soy-stewed pork with rice and Taiwanese meatball(ba wan) represented Changhua and turkey rice represented Chaiyi. If you plan to stay about few weeks, to take trains around Taiwan is a very clever way to try every dishes in Taiwan! Hope you enjoy your trip 😆
I really think 'stinky' tofu is a misnomer. Fermented might be a better description. All the ones I've ever had have been great. Thanks for another great video. :)
Tofu has benefits in all aspects, it's healthy, friendly for the environment, a no-kill, a good protein source, and last but not least, it can be very delicious with good execution. Don't say tofu is bland and boring, it shouldn't get that much hate🙌
A fantastic question and something I never considered! I guess each place will ferment it differently. I’m sure the first location avoids meat. Glad you like the videos!
@ it was just when you explained the fermentation process and mentioned meat i automatically thought tofu was eaten by mainly vegetarians then in the vegetarian restaurant eating the tofu. Makes sense why it stinks tho being bathed for so long. Followed you for ages on insta love the UA-cam videos too. Fellow Scot 🏴
Hi, welcome to Taiwan. I’m Taiwanese and have never heard of meat being added to the stinky tofu fermentation process, but I see the description you gave is what’s shown on the stinky tofu English Wikipedia. On the Chinese Wikipedia for stinky tofu, there’s no mention of either milk or meat. It mentions traditionally a particular kind of vegetable （莧菜, pigweed or Chinese spinach）is used for the fermentation. But I’m sure there are different methods out there and regional differences. However I think nowadays in Taiwan vegetables are usually what’s used, or factories simply just use some sort of bacteria for a quick ferment. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here. And hope that the weather clears up a bit. It’s been so gloomy and wet lately in Taipei. 😅
Both locations of where I ate are in the video description! Who else loves stinky tofu? 🤌🏻
Me!

I definitely agree with you on this! Glad you like the video 🙏🏻
When people say Tofu is disgusting they just haven't prepped it properly 😂 Absolutely love Tofu!
I can now agree with you! 😅
My favorite street food in Taiwan! Try it at a night market!
Tried it at Raohe in last week’s $20 challenge video! Loved it.

Tofu definitely isn’t boring in Taiwan! 👌🏻
When he said, smells phenomenal, I went 😯. I've had a lot of stinky tofu and that's never been something I've said about it.
Never thought I'd be convinced to try stinky tofu. Thanks for the vids! I came from instagram. Love the UA-cam videos
Glad you like them!
Definitely try the deep fried stinky tofu topped with Taiwanese kimchi (pickled cabbage). Stinkier the better.
I tried it in last week’s $20 challenge video! I gave it 10/10, loved it!
Welcome to Taiwan I saw your instagram
rating all kinds of unique food.Have fun!
Thanks for the welcome! I’m loving the food in Taiwan 🇹🇼
@@hughabroadGlad you like it
Go try boba 🧋 I’m sure you will love it!
Are they really vegetarian? Dubious if you said they'd been fermented in meat??
I guess each place will ferment it differently!
You're brave for trying something that says 'stinky' in the name. My pickiness could never
First ❤💯
👊🏻👊🏻
Hugh how can stinky tofu be vegetarian when it’s fermented in meat? Did you ever ask this question. Love your channel

They always say stinky tofu in Taiwan smells really bad. But it looks like it didn't bother you at all😅, love the vid
I was surprised at how good they both smelled to be honest 😅
