e.w. has a new multimedia series called tasty taipei which has just started on the euro max you tube channel and on social media presenter meghan li went to taiwan a mess out with chinese editor. who took on a colony journey from street food markets to high class restaurants will join me in a minute but 1st let's have a taste of featuring stinky spicy tofu. i'm traveled extensively through europe africa and of course united states but i've never been to taiwan and i hear the taipei is a foodies paradise so i'm super excited to get a taste of it. so we're thinking. you're. ok i'll give you

a way. to target the for. you i think you tell but give it a try the 1st think utopia. first but i don't think he told. you . a really good. deal like i did i really did very girly. what i. found i think mild to not. know and not you it's not a function like the taste you can tell it's been tormented. right now we have a new program cooking that there is to put the tofu inside by the soup and it is the must try all right fight all right not only slice about thank you at but then. i thought. you like to. get whipped by these girls all right now 1st of

all how might this media buy movies have me. try it to know it we're going to be a bit. too much that's ok. you know. my goodness that's really putting. at risk you know the party might. get in and told me. i haven't tried to cover yet. but. it's true. it's true a part. into florida. is doing every. time. they want to buy those things to bombard liar i don't know.

thank you for introducing myself or. my 1st. think you fight. oh my goodness. how i. survived that sort of friendship with you know 1st of all why. taiwan is a very special project from our director general peter lim borg went there for the opening of taipei office the by the year ago and and those over you saw there took him out to one of the best taiwanese restaurants tintype phone and apparently there he fell in love with taiwanese cuisine and the idea was born that he from there he said let's do something on time when he's cuisine and that's how it happened because it's time when he's very different to chinese than it is which i found out nice cuisine well 1st of all it's chinese. cuisine as we know it is nothing like

the cuisine that they would serve in china which is also nothing really like the cuisine to serve in taiwan but. because taiwan. and china have a special relationship there's a definite influence on the on the cuisine taiwanese cuisine but i will say taiwanese cuisine is about fusion it's very very healthy very fresh it's not greasy i associate chinese food with being very greasy. no no no no not at all it's very clean and that's what i liked about it because i didn't gain any weight. does stick guests. this is no joke it was it's tough that's a challenge because obviously if you smell something like a like i said it was like a farm you know i mean it's like going to walk into a farm where there's stinky pigs and things you're not going to eat and it really smelt it was you really noticed this for it was fermented something it just reeked

and i thought there's no way i can eat here and they brought it out and i thought there's no i'm eating that and to taste it though it was really really mild it wasn't it was different from the way that it smelled so but still it was a challenge to have that smell all around you and then eat and enjoy it but but my reaction in the crew really like that too because the taiwanese are very proud they were so excited when i said i'd like to now we've got the bit because we've got speaking a bit of mandarin here it is right now i have this this. young. lady to. me . i think more people. because you need to. be.

you actually does. is very did it is difficult because the. phrasing isn't it isn't all about imitation i just imitated i didn't really know what i was saying they just told me sentences i memorized certain phrases and then just imitate you imitate the found like me. it's not me it's you have to imitate the way they say it and and i didn't mean i would just start making up sounds to try to get understood let's go to the street markets because there's lots of them what they like very busy it was raining the night we went but still most people don't have kitchens i mean well that's what i'm told they don't have. they have very small living spaces so they don't have the space or time even a time when he's worked like crazy to cook at home so they spend a lot of time in these night markets plus the food there is extremely cheap food but the car the cost of living isn't cheap but food there you can eat really well at the chinese or the time when it's market for about $3.00 or $3.00 to $5.00 euros

so why cut oh yeah absolutely. i would do that now the series goes on with. there's going to be a documentary later this is you know you try to reach a part of the series every week cultures soto's a few highlights coming up ok well i dress the chinese i'm person one of them and i order those oh he's my unic and so he has to do what i say and now and i mean i don't really eat that much because it's again spicy food this food there is incredibly hot they love it the temperature hot and they spicy hot and they don't drink with their meals so i was used to that i always have water or something as a drink as a backup and so so for that one for them 1st one we turn it around a little bit where i make sure i test. those those right spice people have a lot to look forward to. mega leaf so much for coming in to us today and we should

remember that when the time when the same medium spicy it's very spicy now we have another series already underway called european weddings celebrating the contrasting wedding traditions in different european countries today we're off to italy sicily to be precise and it's perhaps no surprise that sicilian weddings a big in this case one with over 200 guests what is unusual about this wedding is the bearer of the rings not a normal tradition by the way and one thing of course that you come predict to the wedding is the weather. dark clouds cast a shadow over what should be the happiest day in a person's life. heavy rain puts paid to the dream of an open air wedding the couple live in the town of back every year and if a sicilian capital palermo preparations for the wedding are well underway the couple's dog selma has a big role to play at the wedding she is to be the official ring bearer and needs
