1:57 Ay-Chung Flour Rice Noodles
On Day 6 in Taipei, the time came for Ying’s sister to head back to Bangkok and so Ying and I also checked out of our hotel and though we didn’t fly anywhere we brought Ying’s sister to the airport and moved to a new hotel. After checking out of our hotel I first wanted to make a quick stop at a famous Taiwanese street food restaurant called Ay-Chung, that specializes in serving flour noodles in a gravy sauce. The restaurant was located just a little walk from out hotel, and right next to Ximen station. We arrived to Ay-Chung at about 11 am, just after they opened, and already there was quite a crowd there eating around the shop. To order we had to go up to the front, place our order, and then they gave us a bowl of their famous oyster flour noodles. I first went over and added some chili, vinegar, and hot sauce to my bowl of noodles to enhance the flavor. The flour noodles at Ay-Chung are not legendary for no reason, they were actually quite tasty, with such a smokey flavor that it almost tasted like bacon. I can see why this Taiwanese street food is so popular and why many people in Ximending can’t resist a bowl.
5:58 Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
After having the rice flour noodles we headed over to our new hotel, which was called Homey House, and because we were too early to check in, we just dropped off our big bag and then continued on for the day. Everything took a little longer than expected, so we didn’t have time for lunch, but instead we had to go straight to the airport to take Ying’s Sister. We ended up going to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport in the same way as we had come - we took the high speed rail to Taoyuan station then took a shuttle bus to the airport. The journey took about 1 hour.
7:46 Banqiao Station
After dropping Ying’s sister at the airport, Ying and I decided to take the bus back to Taipei from the airport instead of the train, and also I wanted to get off at Banqiao station instead of going all the way to Taipei Main Station in order to go to the Lin Family Garden and Mansion. The bus ride took a bit longer than expected though, and when we got to Banqiao station, the mansion was about ready to close, so we had to cancel that plan. We were quite hungry by this time, and after walking around for a bit and not finding any food, we decided to go to the nearest 7-Eleven and I had a Taiwanese tea egg and a banana to hold me over. We arrived back to our hotel, check in, and then Ying and I went out to eat for dinner. But we made a separate video about dinner which I’ll publish later.
That was Day 6 of this Taiwan travel guide video series. Thank you for watching!

Hands down my favourite Taiwanese food! I can eat this every day!
XIMENDING is my favorite vacaton spot. its not too big and yet offers everything!!!
lol.. the bathroom, i like how you always gives very natural descriptions of things
I can feel the rainbow coming out of my mouth
Ms. Ying is so cute... please include her in your videos... she is so gentle and so modest...
Mark can't seem to catch a break in this video but he remains ever cheerful.
During the Vietnam War, my husband was in Taipei with the Air Force for a year and I was able to go with him.WE so enjoyed the food both eating out and fresh market food. I would love to go back!!!!
me and my husband love watching you and your wife eat. You guys make us hungry lol
I just watch your videos for your head tilts and your awesome expressions.... and of course the food.
You should make a Q&A for you and ying together. I think the more we know you guys the more we would love u.. Cheers
Yesss
I agree!!! I love when he includes her.. it all seems a little more real!! :D
franniebabe Thank you very much, ok I will talk to her, maybe we can.
franniebabe i
It’s been 7 yrs since the last time I was there and man how I missed the food and the city of Taipei😀 I wish I can come back
Tea egg is one of my favorite foods in Taiwan!!! I love Taiwan and enjoyed my stay there some years ago!! People are very nice and warm too!
Mark, you are awesome keep up the good work man!! It's always amazing to watch your videos, so amazing that i can't wait for the next one! Don't ever stop doing this please
Mark Wiens
Young Lion Thank you very much, really appreciate it.
Even a simple egg looks delicious! Thanks for the good vibes
我是台灣人，但看你吃東西的表情好陶醉，我半夜都肚子餓了!哈哈
Your vlogs are the best! Easy to multi-watch. :)
Going to Taipei tomorrow, lovely video always Mark&Ying.
Im a Filipino citizen working here in Taiwan.
this rice noodle with oyster is one of my favorite food here
You have the best expression when you are eating something super delicious! It is a joy just to watch you enjoy your food. Gives me a smile to watch your videos after a long work day. My friends and I will be going in 2 months to Taipei and all your tips will really help us plan our trip! Thank you!!!
Judy Lam Really appreciate it Judy, thank you for watching, and good to hear you'll be going to Taipei soon.
I like seeing you and Ying in the scenes together....ya'll were made for each other it's obvious. Great vlog again.
Neil Simon Thank you very much Neil, I'm really happy to be with her and travel with her!
Mark Wiens I don't know if you do it now or you might be thinking about it but you should have your own TV show. I would be happy if you just do what youre doing now but just for the financial side of it. You don't seem like a person who cares about money over happiness. But youre definitely charismatic and you have great pronunciation and presence. Just sayin'....You could be epic on TV. Good luck with whatever you do in the future.
I.... looooooooove these vlogs, Mark you should do more. :D
jimmy hallstrom Thanks Jimmy
That bathroom looked interesting. I can imagine Ying and her sister whispering and giggling as you toweled yourself dry. LOL Noodles looked OK so I'm assuming you have to taste them to appreciate. So funny to see you eating at a place like 7-11. Your reactions to the new bathroom are priceless.
Perdomot Thanks, yah probably true. I had no idea our bathroom was going to come with a Japanese seat, amazing!
Mark and Ying, A beautiful video. I am so jealous that I did not get to see all of Tiawan that you have shown. I did not get past the train station. So wonderful. I just got to view it via your eyes. Thanks so much!
thanks for the videos. excellent as usual. keep up the good work.
meeee Thank you for watching
I totally miss those noodles and that shop! I can't wait to go back and eat my next bowl! Thanks for sharing!
always a thumbs up for you Mark and I love the vlog series in Taiwan, can't wait to see the restaurant vlogs. your vlogging is getting quite masterful
jayisoldem56 Thank you very much!
wish I was there, as the food look so good. Mark discribe all his eating experience amazingly.
We stayed in Ximending area in Taipei. It's one of thr cheapest hotel in the area. And it went beyond my expectation. The hotel room has complete facilities, from slippers, to hair dryers up to washing machines. Better than the 4-star hotel where I stayed before. Though there was an inconvenience happened, it was all paid out when we started exploring! People are nice. When you ask something they will really approach you and if they sense you really need helped, they will really give an effort, which we appreciate a lot. I miss Taiwan already. Four days is not enough. I want to go back.
I just love chillies. :D They enhance the taste of the dish beautifully.
Really interesting to watch these videos from you two.
Love watching your vlogs Mark. You and Ying seem to make a great couple. Whenever I sit to watch your vlogs DAILY, my 2 boys always run in as soon as they hear the your intro music haha. Keep up the great work you do.
Dee S Hey Dee, thank you very much, really appreciate it. Say hello to your boys as well.
Thanks for your uploads mark! I really enjoy your videos
Can't wait for the video of the food after traveling all day! Looks so good!
Alexis Yaj Thanks Alexis
You should film Yuing in more of your videos. She is delightful and pretty!
She is and cute
Nice coverage of the public transport and hotels. At least you had the Ay-Chung noodles =)
Thanks for sharing!! The oyster flour noodle soup is really good. I like to eat it with lots of chili sauce and add some parsley and Taiwanese style preserved vegetable to make it more favorable.
I love that type of noodles. The place I would go to get that has been gone for a while now and I miss it so much.
CrunchyTofu Good to hear that, too bad that old place is gone.
I love to watching travel vlogs that shows the local food, places, and cultures. I recently found your videos on RUclips and I couldn't stop watching it, so I subscribed to your channel. Thank you for making the videos, showing us many places and food. I enjoy it very much. I especially love to watch it while I eat :)
I really appreciate the 'logistical' parts you add in...
New-Nomads Thank you!
your each and every video is incredibly good.Just keep it up Mark.
Went to this place, and it was a long way from legendary.
Looking forward to the video for that dinner, it looks fantastic!
***** Thanks Robert

Your videos are great! I am so looking forward to visiting Taiwan and trying all the awesome night markets.
Love your Videos!!!!!
Really beautiful video! enjoyed it! waiting for the others. :)
Chrysanths Thanks
Taiwanese food is one of my favorites, they are very high quality and delicate with a mix of Chinese, Japanese, local and other influences mixed in. but I can understand why Mark doesn't seem as crazy about them as he is with Thai food. He's used to the spicy and sour and herby flavors of south east asia cusine, he likes lots of flavors and doesn't like if the food is too bland or sweet.
TheRealHero1 Thank you very much for watching and for the comment. Yah, I think the Thai and other Southeast Asian flavors are my favorite, but I still love the braised flavors and the Chinese foods in Taiwan as well.
Mark Wiens. I like Thai and southeast asia taste as well.👍
Majority of local Taiwanese people are not really into spicy food, when they claim that it's spicy, it's actually like a bit of heat like putting tiny bit of bird eye chilli
@@metalalive2006 unless you're like my mom lol she loved spicy food. 😉
2yrs behind but loving these vlogs
your all videos are awesome 👌 👏 👏
That looks amazing!
great series and at a great time !! will be in taipei for a good few days- a week at the end of the year :D

Hello, yes good video. They have MRT from Taipei to Taoyuan international Airport now 2023. Cool.
So exited for the next vlog
yyemenia yyemenia Thanks!
I sort of like it when things go wrong. you teach me,oh wise traveler, what to do. 7-11 tea egg and banana, ah-so! The up and coming vlog meal looks good. One of the buttons on the toilet heats the seat! LOL
7-11 in Taiwan has been known as one-stop junk food station. They are everywhere in Taiwan.
I like that you always have a good statement for something thing that is bad
Great video Mark
defjamblade Thanks
omg ,the food looks delicious 😍
That was a very nice video and music
I like this misua so yummy and spicy thank u😍😍😍
This looks so satisfying Mark i'll definately go there when i go to Taiwan. I first tried this in KLIA2 air port in Malaysia while i was in my long transit. And i buy this meal everytime i transit there. But there isn't any pork pieces like yours. So travellers out there if you want this dish in KLIA2 it's in Level 2 Shop No.34! I had it as a set meal with smoke plum juice and sweet potatoes fries in total 17.50RM which is 4.10$. The shop name is Shihlin Taiwan Sweet Snacks. Oh you can only go to this shop and it's building if you only go through the the immigration and luggage claim.
Hello Mark & Ying!
Thank You for sharing! Would like to know about Ying? Would like to hear her thoughts & likes of food? I really enjoy your kindness for other people. You are very humble in your manner. I appreciate your hard & all you do.🍜

Mark u need to come visit my hometown Tainan, that's where all the delicious street foods are.
David Shen Hey David, yah I really wanted to come, but ran out of time. I hope to visit on next trip.
Mark Wiens Hey Mark thanks for the reply. I watched all 12 days of your Taiwan videos and they were really great, they also reminded me of my visits to Taipei. I enjoyed ur last video the most since u ordered the milkfish, which is the fish exclusively grown in Tainan, thus, u will love ur food vlogging in Tainan if you decide to come one day. Another famous ingredient in Tainan is the locally grown beef, I guarantee you would fall in love with it. Keep more of those great videos coming, xie-xie!
No big bite hot dogs or hot wings at that 7-11 over there😀😀😀. But Mark makes any food inspiring to eat. Thanks for sharing
Keep the good mark
