I can't believe I'm actually in Taipei, Taiwan. The feeling is almost surreal. It's my first time here and I'm absolutely loving it! The multitude of delicious street foods, friendly people & quirky Taipei city vibes is almost too much to handle.

In this video, I of course head out on a street food hunt, I have 4 on my mind...

1. Beef Noodles (Niu Rou Mian 牛肉麵)
2. Dumplings (蒸饺)
3. Pork Blood Rice Cake (豬血糕)
4. Bubble Tea (珍珠奶茶)

...And I found all of them pretty easily!!!

The pork blood cake was seriously good. With a hint of spicy chilli, chewy glutinous rice, it's a street food snack I'll be having again for sure. Next was flash steamed then fried pork dumplings with spicy sauce, WOW is all I can say...so crispy and lip-smackingly yum!

After this we pop on a bus to Ximen district for more food!

The third food today wasn't planned, but I couldn't resist, fried quails eggs. My word, no joke, the best eggs I've ever eaten. The street vendor somehow managed to time the cooking so the yolks were runny- soft boiled quail eggs, yes please!!!

The last main food of today is Taiwanese beef noodle...crazy tender & thickly sliced beef of gelatinous tendon & meat, in a hearty brown broth alongside the most al dente handmade rustic noodles I've ever had, this is a dish to savor, but at the same time humanly impossible to NOT want to demolish the entire bowl as soon as possible.

I also ordered a side dish of kimchi, a braised boiled egg, 2 types of sliced beef, braised sweetened tofu, and quite an odd seaweed-like starchy roll. How could I not?

To end, what else other than Taiwanese bubble milk tea with handmade tapioca starch balls (boba), topped with caramelised brown sugar....The perfect end to a perfect Taiwanese dinner FEAST!!
