      Bro, if you've recently gotten a growth spurt and you're only 82lbs, don't worry about gaining weight. If you try dieting at your age you're going to hurt yourself mentally and physically

    It's so weird, this video looks more "real" to me than your more recent ones. I've been in Taiwan the past few months and it's so nice to see you visit and to hear your thoughts! I've had that brand of noodles before! You're supposed to warm the sauce packet - it's deliciously spicy. I also love that the 7-11s always have tea eggs for only 10 kuai

    板橋區文化路一段188巷36號春野新派川菜,台北市敦化北路145巷9號郭主義麻辣火鍋I hope you would try out one of the restaurant listed above. You said you were disappointed with Szechuan food in Taiwan. I think you just weren't at the right restaurant. The owner/cook dedicated to Szechuan food cooking for decades and visits Szechuan province once a year to bring back authentic spices. I'm sure you won't be disappointed at his restaurant

    @yumilkmilk Před 8 lety +1

    Just would like to say for that brand of Taiwanese Ramen , The packaged beef cause pack is supposed to be be added last on top of the noodles after the noodles is soaked for three mins and cooked. That's make the flavour better as the sauce for the beef isn't as diluted.

    Back in the late 80/ early 90s when McDonalds were starting to pop up, they served hamburgers similar to what you had. Instead of beef, it was pork with a mixture of carrots, scallions. The french fries were made from sweet potato. I really miss those .

    Holy, pig brain soup is delicious! In mainland we only put pig brain into hotpot so the original tasty flavor was often tarnished by spicy hotpot soup. It's so nice taiwan serves the somewhat original flavor. I need to come to taiwan!!! BTW curry dumpling is bit too much...
