Joel ... did you ever get to try Dòu Miáo 豆苗 when in Taiwan? It was our favorite veg dish, especially sauteed with garlic. We would call it Dong Meow ... LOL!
Joel andLee always finding the Gem locations. Thank you for sharing and making your content. From New York. Nice to experience all of Great locations you go too
@@JoelsTastyRide I hear yah Joel.. I was there for one day and the locals said to experience the aura of a misty morning sunrise on the lake which was phenomenal
Wow! You can bike at that altitude? I went to Steamboat Springs once (It's at 2000m elevation) I couldn't climb a flight of stairs! But then I've lived all my life at sea level.
Mal! I love that message because I love steamboat Springs :-) we were there last summer, it was Li’s first trip to the USA… well I can also smile and mention that you did not see the video from a few days ago because, actually the title is 3420m altitude heavenly lunch :) haha So, 3420 is much higher than 2000… and yes we biked (very hard!), I rode there 4 days, 4 spectacular days!!
@@JoelsTastyRide I did see that video! and yes, I saw Li struggling a bit, but there is no way I could even walk far at that altitude!🤥 Steamboat Springs is a beautiful place! and so are all the places you take us to!
Excellent video, Joel. I'm happy to see Li and her enduring charm grace the video for a bit. As I've said before, moving about in Taiwan is to always go uphill.
Yaaha! Good morning good morning!!! Ian, always great to see you man. Hello from both of us!! You definitely understand Taiwan just with this simple nod to the topography, always up :-) and you’re right it really does feel like it I t’s always “up to the next place,” never “down to…”
hello beautiful friends.. I must admit I've been licking my lips because everything looks so fresh and yummy.. thank you for always sharing your Tasty Travels with us.. it is an honor to be part of the "domino" blessings> y'all are blessed to be where you are doing what you do.. & in turn you bless us with a timestamp of such a loving memory... Life is good, God is great 🤗💚☮️
Thank you so much 🤗 Cindy, awesome to see you today!! I love that idea of dominoes, that’s how I think of life as well (both physically and spiritually - a hug goes a long way (physically, short term), but also our life example (spiritual, longer term…)) ♥️🔥💯
Good Morning Li & Joel ... so now you are at a place I've actually been before. We visited there before crossing the island via the Taroko Gorge. Did you film this before the earthquake hit Hualien City? Anyway, thanks for this great content and as always, have a Blessed Day & Peace be with you !
Hi Ron! No way, super cool to hear that you know this place! Well I did answer your question about the earthquake in a previous video (the recent Hualien earthquake happened our first day in Taiwan, April 3), so there were aftershocks happening almost every day of the trip.
Glad you enjoyed it Abigail, I have REALLY enjoyed seeing all your comments (especially which videos you are choosing!!) you are definitely the top commenter for the whole channel right now!!!
Good morning dear Joel & Li - The Sun Moon Lake is beautiful 👌👌 Joel directly attacking the chilli 😀 The Lu Rou Fan looks simple but good 👍 I love the fact that you folks invariably order some healthy veggies as side dishes . Would like to see this culture in India . The wild vegetable dish with fiddle heads , carrots and some olive 🫒. The lettuce and cabbage fried with ginger, garlic & Soy sauce 👌 Good insight into the food culture of restaurants in Taiwan 🇹🇼👌👌 I knew you would go in for the chillis to amp up the flavour of the “Sweet & Fatty” sausage 👍 Yes the Cordia Dichotoma is also called a “Indian Cherry” Li confirms that the restaurant is very popular and she is thoroughly enjoying her lunch 👌 Brilliant articulation on the taste & texture profile of the Lu Rou Fan 💯💯 Now it’s rice time and great way to incorporate all the main dishes with the rice 👌 Yes I thoroughly enjoyed watching this vlog . Quite informative as well 👍👍 There comes the super classic vow from the drone . Phew what a lovely & beautiful place 💯💯💯 Thanks dear Joel & Li for dishing out this wonderful vlog . Take , stay healthy & God bless 😇 Loads of love & hugs 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️ A special hello to the simply awesome Bru-Cru family 👋👋❤️❤️❤️
Hi Joel and Li the food looks very interesting i think its fair to say you are a chilli freak in the nicest possible way 😊 thanks for sharing ❤️🏴x
Tara!!!! so good to hear from you. Yes, all of Southeast Asia finally, humid, wet, and glowing green, we wait for this all year!!! Just like spring feelings for you, or I guess this year it was quick and summer is already there ha ha :-) that’s awesome to hear
Hello Joel and everyone! We are back from our Thailand vacation but the last few days of it we got some devastating news and when we got home we had to head to our other place a couple days later for the funeral on the 24th of a real good friend of ours (he was like a 2nd dad to Tanya). We are doing fine, heartbroken but we will get through it.
Good morning and, i’m glad to see your names. Thank you for taking the time to write and update. I am sitting on a bus right now so I am praying for you both.
Duuuuuuuuude Martin what’s up!!!??? Man, let me know if you plan a trip, I’m (now) always looking for more chances to visit Taiwan. AirAsia direct flights one-way from Bangkok OR ChiangMai 4000 baht.
Saibaidee Joel! Food looks amazing. Awesome drone shots as well. It’s crazy that there aren’t many spicy dishes. I would imagine Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup would have some spice.
My dude!!! Hey hey good morning! Yeah kinda unfortunate? If I should use that word, kinda sad that there aren’t many spicy foods and I only say it that way because IF there were just a few curry recipes and/or a spicy noodle dish, the entire cuisine would be high in the World Food lists (I think probably more than just my opinion but, definitely my opinion!!)
Those green seeds are preserved cordia dichotoma (破布子). They have a salty taste with a bit of acidity to it. We use them to enhance the flavor of certain dishes. The funky, wild greens are fiddleheads （過貓菜）, which are part of the fern family. Taiwanese harvest them as vegetables. I hope you enjoy your visit in Taiwan, and please try out more Taiwanese cuisine! 🇹🇼
@@JoelsTastyRide Hi Joel. I’m from Puli, a small town in Nantou County. A short drive from Sun Moon Lake will take you there. If you love braised port rice. You must to try out 李仔哥爌肉飯 in Puli. Their braised pork is served in large cut pieces. Amazing texture and taste. You also need to try Taiwanese meatballs （Ba Wan). 阿甲肉圓 is another must try eatery over there. Operated since 1949, and still going strong. Love your videos. Please keep up the brilliant work!
Hey hey David, good morning, yes raining every day here but… It just happened, I am still thankful even though I’m washing the bike every single day. The smoke season was very long this year!!
Wow Joel, it’s been quite some time since I checked in on your channel. It’s great to see you guys have been extremely successful and hit 100k. I’ll try harder to keep up this tile around haha
Phyokyaw, I appreciate the constant support more than anything, I really feel lucky to have made real relationships through this channel and not just have it be another social media platform. Thank you for doing your part, thanks for the well wishes, I hope you’re having a great Monday today.
Definitely adding this to my places to try out when I visit Taiwan. Great work as always, Joel and Li!. How are your parents doing these days, Joel? Hope they are well!
I love your vids, have watched them from your earliest days. I can see why you & Mark are such good buddies and how you must have enjoyed travelling together😊 It's interesting to me that you incorporate your faith, always showing us your pre-supper prayer, whereas Mark makes no reference to his. I think he probably didn't want to put people off watching his video's so chose to leave faith out of his craft. But I actually don't mind you praying etc in your video's, I don't find it off-putting because it's part of who you are and you are a very kind human being😊
NICE VIDEO JOEL ...IT SEEMS THAT THE SUN MOON LAKE RESTAURANT IN TAIWAN ,CUSTOMERS ARE MADE TO PAY BEFORE EATING ...DONT THEY TRUST THEIR CUSTOMERS ? JUST CURIOUS
Just wanted to say to everyone reading this that Jesus loves you and He wants to give you eternal life today. If you want to accept Jesus in your life please say the repeat the following: Romans 10:9 NIV [9] I declare with my mouth, “Jesus Christ is Lord,” and I believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead. Lord I repent of my sins and past ways and from this day forward I choose you, come and be my guide and lead me into a life that leads to eternal life. In Jesus name, Amen." Congratulations and welcome to the Kingdom of God. Heaven is rejoicing over you. You are now saved. Please take the next step and get to know God through bible reading, prayer and, worship. Additionally find a church home and grow in the faith. Thank you brethren.
Wow, what a blessing ❤️⭐️♥️ I was reading some verses in Ecclesiastes, and stories from 1-2 Samuel today, even 700 years before Jesus came into the world as a man, He was already being introduced by name!
Im sure you won't see this comment but ive been wondering and its a random thought but..why do you not wear wedding rings? I thought they are important in Christianity?
Hey Brooke, welcome back :-) I guess you don’t remember that I answer every single comment! I also am curious about this question because if you watch the videos, I mean it’s pretty obvious that we both wear rings ❤️ OK thank you for the message, hope you’re having a great month of May
Hey Cush!! It is a great day to welcome you, thanks for going out of your way in defending my friends name (even though you might not be familiar with the correct spelling, I assume you mean Mark Wiens… and I thank you for your dedication!)
