now d.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 her on a colony journey from street food markets to high class restaurants meghan will join me in a minute but 1st let's have a taste of featuring stinky spicy tofu. i'm travelled extensively through europe africa and of course united states but i've never been to taiwan and that you're the type a is a foodies paradise so i'm super excited to get a taste of city. so we're thinking. you're. ok i'll give you like.

to hear the food. get it. i'm thinking. let's give it a try. thank you. first but i don't think you. know you. don't know. you like i did i really did this very guarded. about 5 miles of not. knowing not you it's not hunting like the page you can tell it it's been tormented. right now we have a new trial it's cooking that there is to put the tofu inside by the soup and it is the must try all right spite of all right not only slightly but thank you.

well you like yeah i. get whipped by these all right now 1st of all how might be is this media bias. me how do you try to know if you're going to be a bit. in my face ok. you know. i couldn't. really cut it. really you know the party might come. in and told me well that's right i haven't tried it yet. but. it's true. it's true. it's true is how we're doing every. time.

they want to balance things through a long hard wire i don't know if. you for introducing myself or. my 1st. think you go. oh my goodness. the hot spot for sure 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 body 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 and he from there he said let's do something on time when he's cuisine and that's how it happened because tong when he's very different to chinese it's which i found out he's 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 yes. 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 and you walk into a farm where there's stinky pigs and things you're not going to eat and it really smelled it was you really notice 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 begun to bit because we've got speaking a bit of mandarin here it is right now listen to this. young. man to. me . i think more people. because the more you take. the.

you actually does present. news is very different is difficult because the tonality raising 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 even 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 where 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 in time and use words 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 cost to be the cost of living isn't cheap but through there you can eat really well at the chinese or the time when it's market for about $3.00 or 3 to 5

euros so why cut oh yeah absolutely. i would do that now the series goes on with. the hope there's going to be a documentary delights of this you know you try to feature parts of the series every week aeronaut 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 the empress one we turn it around a little bit where i make sure i test. those those right spice people have a lot to look. mega leaf fight so what's become of it into us today and we should

remember that when the time when he's saying 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 area near the syrian capital palermo preparations for the wedding a 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
