A Taiwanese Candy Master prepares sticky puffed rice candy the traditional way. I never knew it was made like this and had quite a shock the first time round.
I’m a Taiwanese. Puffed rice candy is one of my favorite food!! Thank you for filming this. This street vendor is at Lane 131, Yanji Street, Taipei City, but it’s not open everyday. Almost every puffed rice candy street vendor is at irregular time and place. So, if you saw one during “Yao Bao Lo”, it’s your lucky day!!! 😂😂😂
@Bubba Frost that is a myth, they are not a significant hazard to human health. Dogs and cats can carry and transfer 3-4 times more diseases to human. That is just exterminator propaganda. In addition they are very intelligent and one of few animals that is self aware - passed the mirror test. Pigeons are greatly missunderstod creature due to a lot of money being made by extermination companies to kill them, and they only reproduce as long as there is food so cities have a trash problem not a pigeon problem. A great musjustice has been done to them. I know this first hand and I have been rescuing feral pigeons for a long time. Had a dog and now I have a pet pigeon and must say, there is no difference. Great animals.
This episode really brings back my childhood memory of being fascinated by the equipment & the loud sound of popping the rice. And of course, the sweet-tasting treat of munching on the rice candy makes my inside happy, even at the ripe old age of 57. Bless this man's soul for keeping this dying art alive. And I thank you for recording the entire procedure for future generations to witness & enjoy.
RU-vid: wanna see some puffed rice candy being made? we see you've been watching street food lately. Me (sleepy): yeah, that sounds nice... [video starts] Me: •dazing out...• *Y A O B A O L O*
When I was a kid in Taiwan, the street vendors actually strolled their cannon workshop to different neighborhood, and yelled "Bao Bee Pong", which translates to "Explosive Rice Aroma". House wife and kids will bring their own small can of rice. We lined up those can of rice. The vendor than make Bao Bee Pong per household. Peanut was the only optional flavor. But who doesn't want peanuts? The small neighborhood would gather around and chit chatting. It was a feast.
Street vendors used to be very vocal in Taiwan. It is very sad that this has almost vanished, especially in Taiwanese. Rice cake vendors used to yell the kinds of rice cake they were selling: "lâi bé: o͘-kúe, uaⁿ-kúe, tiⁿ-kúe, tshài-thâu-kué, iû-tshang-kué, kiâm-tinn-ké, înn-á-kué... ōo-kué-khiau, bí-ko, âng-tāu-á-tinn-kué!", but this tradition is almost dead.
Hard working, careful and dedicated man. I like how he announces before the boom, at least I think that is what he says. Very interesting, and it looks good.
Usually they will yell VERY loud before the boom, and this man is just saying it, it's kind of new XD (the call is a convention, to prevent scaring others, and it usually goes lauder and lauder, they will pop the rice right on the last call, you can search with this title if you're interested:不忍台語將滅亡，阿華師：「我這一輩子，再也不說華語了。」 | 有情人, it's in the first few seconds)
@@greenlawnfarm5827 Clean hands that have been washed with soap and water is better as germs and bacteria often survive on all types of gloves. Hopefully he has clean hands!
I too had to stop everything even medical scare and watch the video for 1000 times to find the thin couple turn back finally. You are epic. You have to be the next US president. I beg you.
This is absolutely delicious. We also have this kind of candy in Vietnam. But in Vietnam, we add some gingers in too. Adding gingers will enhance candy's flavor to a whole new level.
This is Taiwanese traditional pop rice. When I was a kid, it was very common to see that it's made and sold on the street. I loved to watch the making process and hear the loud pop sound and I ate it very often, but now it's rare to see someone making it. The machine that pops rice isn't produced anymore, so it has become an antique.
Great skill, organisation, workmanship, product, tools, technique and very professional. Well done my friend. I would definitely buy any of your product.
jason wu idk if your complaining but the bags are pretty large and he makes it by himself so your not only paying for the product but also for the service.
Remind me with my childhood snack, it's a little bit sticky and sweet. miss that moment. Btw am I the only one, who always smilling when watched her cute smile? Love from Indonesia
A cart that looked the same as this one would set up occasionally in front of my house!! Smells SO good. Yes the bang scared me once lol. I love this snack
Something about watching a guy work his craft is so soothing and satisfying. I could watch him make puffed rice all day. And all those different flavors looked delicious
It reminds me those days of childhood. I would bring a bag to wait in the line and enjoy watching the booming and mixing rice puffs. My favorite snacks.
I bet it smells so good passing through there. I can only imagine like walking on the Santa Monica pier as vendors sell their hot peanuts & food. I'd just like to point out how cute the lady is sampling the candy. She has such an adorable smile.
@steven100100 I love that movie 😁 Yup, The Santa Monica pier is so beautiful at night. It really is like that, the noise, the music etc. Fun place to visit.
Im from Indonesia, in my city the name of this snacks was "Gipang/Jipang" and it's hard to find someone who can cook it, the snacks is available during Islam big days here :" Good job for those seller. I miss the snacks already and should wait until Eid Mubarrak
WOW!! I've been eating this all my life and I had no idea how it was made! (usually our parents or friends buy it and bring it home) That's amazing and thank you for uploading this video!
This food is also available in Korea It's delicious to eat right away, and more delicious when combined with sweet sauce I watched a good video 😊 Have a nice weekend
Sweet Escape what’s the fucking difference, my mum also eat this when she was young. She now still buy it from street. What makes Taiwan so fucking “special”
This young man is so neat and organized. See his board and way to cut evenly. All his containers are square and shining. The way he stores ingredients with limited space. I also noticed the cross he is wearing. Wish him all the best. 😊
We call it "kh-a-ee" in Odisha ,a state from india. We love our snacks. New generation may be do not opt for it. But it's a darling for oldies,middle age people. It's a sweet,chewy snack with sugar or jaggery coated coconut and dryfruit slices. It's beautiful how we share same food with different name,back stories and from different region.
This process of puffing cereals and grains was invented in my home town of Red Wing, MN by a Mr. Anderson. Very interesting to see this process which is very close to the original prototypes. Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
I love puffed rice candy when i was a kid, and i still love them now. This man makes perfect puffed rice candy and makes them with clean equipment. Thanks for this video!
Wow! The work and passion he puts in to making this treat is just amazing and rewarding! If only Canada could taste this rice cake. I have watched one other video, but there were at least 3 workers, this young man is a “one man show” he should be proud of his hard work. The price I think is way too low, but then I’m Canadian and everything is expensive in Canada. If I were given a chance to try this treat, I’d have no problem paying double of his asking price (7.00). Blessings from southern Ontario, stay safe and keep healthy!
This is my childhood, when I was little, all neighbor kids will stay around the puffy rice car, wait he says “ careful!ready to puffy!” After explode whole kids just scream and laugh. 😏
As a child, I loved to soak one or two pieces into the milk and blended like a cereal, they taste good and will always be in part of my childhood memories.
The making of this. Is an odd process. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him. You gotta wonder. How did someone, come up with this?? I appreciate your hard work sir. And I hope your business is doing well, during these hard times.
This is one of my most favorite Yummy to watch. I really like how this fellow works his craft of making delicious treats. If someone set something like this in my city, I am certain it would be highly successful. The treats are similar to the Rice Krispy Squares, minus the marshmallows, an old time favorite.
Still, no matter how humble the enterprise, this man is his own boss. NO ONE tells him what to do, when to clock on, what to wear, how many hours to work, or how to run his business.
@@aureliusmarcus1817 depends on where you work and what you do. I've audited many businesses and most of the time... people are more free and have more time for their hobbies and loved ones having the 9-5. Businesses take a lot of work. However for people with control complexes with undesirable personalities... may not be the best path
Amazing to see the childlike joy people take from a simple pleasure like a comfort food. Great video. I loved watching and buying food from street venders when I was stationed at Camp Mobile near Dongduchan.
Na I'm pretty sure she is the secret to his almost million subs. He had a wonderful idea and she made it even better. Lots of people prefer the no talking. But her joy honestly is contagious af. She's the magic.
@@aftersexhighfives dude, i had this theory that the reason he travels a lot and eats a whole lot of good food is because of her, she probably has the money to fund all this, not that theirs anything wrong with it,shit my ex would always buy me and herself junk food lol its a good thing
@@matchc0635 nobody asked you what you would call it. We were being educated by the poster, by being shown what it is in their NATIVE LANGUAGE. I'd rather know the literal meaning of it in Taiwanese than to read your dumbed down ideas for names. If you find the translation "boom! That rice is smelling good" too hard to understand because of it's length, your idiocy would be considered a personal problem. Education over opinion. Learn it, live it.
@@telesamherring I am just providing another more formal and localized kind of translation to a word in other language,I knew the language,it's my native as well,so I optimized the translation by my knowledge and considered that as "education" as well,nobody asked doesn't mean that I can't say it,the internet is a place everyone can express their opinion. If you want to learn these Asian language by only literal meaning and random person on the web,then I except a random gibberish of Chinese that means nothing on your chest as tattoo.
