i mean it's probably an island of sicily. 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 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 traveled extensively through europe africa and of course united states but i've never been to taiwan and i hear the type a is a foodie's paradise so i'm in supermarkets so i feel we're thinking. you tell your friends ok i'll give you like. the food.

you. think you know let's give it a try 1st thank you toby. first but i don't think he told. those you. don't think really good really you like it. it's really good this is very girly. what i. found mild to not. know it's not you it's not hunting like the taste you can tell it's been tormented. right now we have a new trial and cooking that there is to put the tofu inside by the soup and it was then i must try all right spite of all right thanks not only spike about thank you . ok i thought you would like to. 2 get whipped by. all right now 1st of all how might this media buy one

move to have me. try it to know if you were going to be a bit. in my face ok. you know. my goodness that's really putting. really you in the party. then told me about the story i'm trying to tell me yeah. yeah. it's real. it's true. it's the steroid use doing it every. time. they want to. do on barbed wire i don't know if you're good for introducing you know my 1st

love my 1st. think you fight. oh my goodness. has survived but sort of friendship with you know 1st of all why taiwan 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 when he's very different to chinese 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 that there's a there's a definite influence on the crew 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. tofu steak 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 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 got a bit because we've got speaking a bit of mandarin here it is right now listen to this. young. b.b. . i think more people. and. you think. you actually done. news is very. it is difficult because the tonality raising

isn't it it's all about imitation i just imitated i didn't really know what i was saying they just told me sentences i memorize certain phrases and then just imitate you imitate the sound like. 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 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 this piece of 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 food there you can eat really well at the chinese or the time we need to market for about $3.00 or 3 to 5 euros so why cut oh yeah absolutely. i would too but now the series goes on with

friends on you tube channel there's going to be a documentary later this is you know try to feature parts of the series every week aeronaut sculptures 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 wasn't 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 my goodness so much for coming in to us today and we should remember that when. tony when he's saying medium spicy it's very spicy now
