Bobby: do you speak English? Person : very little. Bobby : I would be most fond of your help providing me with a recommendation to your most valued and high quality gourmet consumables so I may feast on these foreign delicacies as to experience your magnificent culture. Person: ...... Ok
Hi, I'm a Chinese person here~ Just some explanation on what you were eating :)) Breakfast: the onigiri was a meat floss onigiri (meat floss is usually made from pork, kind of like jerky but finely shredded). From the label on the carton, the drink is actually brown sugar fresh milk tea (kind of a trending boba tea flavour in Asia this year but that's the carton version with no boba haha) Snacks: the potato chip that she recommended is supposed to have the flavour of an oyster omelette, which is a popular street food in Taiwan. The swirly crackers are "pig ears" (directly translated) or "pig ear crackers", basically called that because of the shape, rest assured, no actual pig ears in that :D. Just found your channel and really love your videos!! I personally really LOVE food too and like trying new foods, and I feel happy to be able to explain about the foods that I know!
@@aaryangupte6831 I think I know what are talking about, is that a mobile game in China? Game for peace 和平精英 ? I think they just copied everything from PUBG🤣 (I am from Taiwan so I don’t really know China stuff and also my English is not so good but hope I answer your question and have a nice day 👍
@@ThisisJordan_ game for peace and PUBG are different I mean the same company made them but their mechanics ate different PUBG was banned in China so they made game for peace
No kidding. When I, recently, bought food at a convenience store, the clerk didn't even put my items in a bag. When I asked for the stuff to be put in a bag, he handed me a bag. OMG, they're so freakin' lazy.
@@jaehaspels9607 YUp.. we try to go back to Taiwan to visit relatives and friends every year if we can... The vending machines are great too but not that healthy LOL
Yes, the last few times I visited a specific 7 Eleven location, they were yelling at me, or staring at me not wanting to ring me up. Then made side eye to other customers because I'm expecting them to just ring up my order.
Why do I feel like the tea egg was a happy mistake, as if someone accidentally dropped an egg into the teapot instead of the boiling water and went *oh shit son*
Or it could have been a time saver. I don't have time to boil eggs and make tea too so I'll just boil the eggs and tea together. Maybe they only had 1 heating element.
The origin story of the tea egg, supposedly, is that poor people wanted to taste the taste of the good tea, but it was too expensive, so they cooked it in a tea
That Girl in the store that spoke English was so sweet haha. You could see how inside she was freaking out to show somebody about the things she love.. Even if it's just snacks..
Sorry about that. Actually, that mysterious drink is "Brown Sugar milk tea"(the words on the is"黑糖鮮奶茶" ) Although I am Taiwanese, I never try it before lol. I guess there is no soy bean in it.
OH HELL NO!! Leave Mikey alone, don't wish this stupidity on him!! You who agree, need this joke. You just scared unsuspecting folks like myself from traveling. At least not knowing anything like your dumb×××!!
I'm probably 20 years older than that employee who provided all the snacks recommendations, glad to know most of my childhood favorite snacks over 30 years ago are still available today and still being recommended.
Yes because when you’re in a country on the other side of the world everything is a new experience, even going to the supermarket is interesting or a convenience store to buy snacks 😅
Hey, Taiwanese person here and I’m a bit late to comment but oh my gosh this video made me hungry, haven’t been back in Taiwan since covid. The meat in the onigiri (we call it Sān jiǎo fàn túan - triangle rice ball), is called Pork Floss, which is processed shredded pork. It’s pretty common in Taiwan - I add it on my rice all the time. The dried fish is called Yóu yú sī, or Shredded Squid and it also comes in different levels of spiciness. The Apple Sidra is found in literally every single restaurant and shop in the country- by far the most iconic Taiwanese soda - it’s even sold here in Australia! But in terms of best snacks, in my opinion, I think you might have missed a few. Like Wáng zǐ miàn or Prince’s noodles - it seriously lives up to it’s name. It’s like one of those noodle snacks you eat straight out of the bag (dunno if you guys have them in America), but wayy better. I cant even describe the flavour. Anyway, love your vids, so happy that you filmed in Taiwan and have a nice day! And btw that rainbow man is actually 7-Eleven’s mascot haha
I'm Aussie and I feel homesick for Taiwan 🤣. I also haven't been since COVID and cannot imagine how hard it is for you, but it's the only country I am really missing. Taiwan is such an awesome place and I hope our new government stands with the people and not with the CCP.
@@AussieAF Definitely! Taiwan is pretty awesome. Hopefully quarantine restrictions will ease further so we can go back 😃. And of course, praying that Albo will do a better job than the last government.
I like how most employees (and tbh people in all) are at first like "uuugh what does he want, im working" but when you ask for example "Hey, can you show me your favourite snacks?" They smile right away. And for a fraction of a sec you can see this kid that never grew up deep in there coming out like "Ohhhh you have tyo try thiiis!"
7-Eleven all over Asia is awesome. Taiwan and Thailand are my two favourites. For people that are visiting you can ask the staff to warm the food (they have microwaves / air fryer type things and sandwich press) as they may not ask you (some people take it home to make hot). It's also amazing to see how advanced Taiwan has become and what a shithole China has remained. I love in Taiwan you can see anything and it's pretty modern, where as China will jail people for going in certain areas and see the dirty country it is. The Taiwanese people are also so nice, and I found even if they don't speak English (many younger people do), they will still go out of their way to find someone else of try to translate and support you. It's a pleasant change compared to China, which you never get this (Chinese in China hate people not from China). Overall, I recommend visiting this gem of a country and to learn about their history and how far they have come (and how they are an aggressive neighbour, but still try their hardest). God Save Taiwan and let democracy and freedom shine.
I used to open it at the top, but i realize if you open it from the sides it creates a bigger hole so your hand can be more clean when taking the chips lol.
Taiwan is an awesome country. I love how humble its people are. I have traveled to Taipei almost every Computex for the past 11 years and every year I have something new to explore. Taipei is the best city I have been to and I literally lived on 7-Eleven food for days! When in Taipei, always try MOS Burgers!!
Taiwan is famous for their pineapple cake. All the Taiwanese pineapple cakes I ever eat are delicious, be it cheap or expensive. Definitely a number one pick as souvenir! (or at least for me lol)
Bobby: do you speak english? Them: A little Bobby: so I was seeking the most cultural experience I could locate during my stay in this community, and was wanting a recommendation on the best Taiwanese cuisine that you are aware of if that would be of no struggle to you Them: yes i agree
Omggggggg ur here in Taiwan!!!!!’ve been watching ur video lately can’t believe ur soooo close, wish I were there in Taipei to meet u in person!the onigiri u had for breakfast was actually pork floss mixed with some mayo n tbh the two flavor u got are my favorite flavor of all time💕💕keep going!! Hope to see u one day in person
lolol, true that. When I eat a new food I normally have a huge appreciation for it. Anyway, I saw a few people the past videos commenting on this, thats why I put the scale for this video! If you have any other ideas lemme know!
The sweet and salty thing was pork floss, made from dried pork strips that are cut and fluffed. There are also instructions on how to open the packaging; you have to peel off a strip of plastic, pull of the right side of the packaging and put it back and do the same with the left side. (the seaweed and the rice are put apart so the seaweed doesn't go soggy) Taiwan is great.
Another phenomenal Taiwan 7 Eleven' s broadcast Bobby in which I immensely enjoyed watching. Very impressed with freshness, quality, packaging, and the eclectic foods and snack selections which looked succulent. America 7 Eleven need to step up their game. In comparison to Taiwan, Taiwan' s foods are much better!
ANNNNNND every time: -Bobby says absolutely -Every time he says 7-eleven -he doesn't know what the food is -someone looks into the back of the camera lol
Hi, i am from Taiwan , the food you ate for dinner are all famous Taiwanese foods, and the food in 13:34 is a famous snack from Japan ,its made from squid ,many people in Taiwan loves it
Loved the selection of 7-11 foods when visiting Taipei last year. You must try their egg salad sandwiches and instant noodles. The soft-boiled eggs at 1:19 are excellent as well and are a good addition to the instant noodles.
I will travel to Taiwan in summer and I'm really excited to try the Mega 7 11 in Taipei. This is exactly what I needed because without Bobby's intelligence, I would have never thought this was a thing.
The "tea egg" is so good, I personally don't really like eggs but they made me like eggs so much. If y'all never tried it, you really need to, it's really tasty.
Me when I watch other videos for other countries that don’t speak mandarin : *no judge* Me when I watch him in a country that speaks mandarin commonly : *Judging x1000000000000*
The way he opens the onigiri packaging is killing me here. There's a pull-tab on the packaging so you don't damage the seaweed wrapping Bobby!! Oh... my precious onigiri....
Literally, welcome to Taiwan! I love this video so much that I can't stop laughing. By the way, the drink with the color black is milk tea with black sugar. lol
Bobby: *Innocently just trying to figure food out* Cashier (like in every country Bobby visits): I must help this child appreciate our food and culture! *Proceeds to adopt this lost man and feed him and teach him words.* Bobby: Finally, some good food!!!!
He apparently didn't recommended you the most Taiwanese breakfast. Tea egg can be found all over China and maybe even in Vietnam. Plus, there's not much regional variation (what you got is somewhat unique as that style is not common outside Southeastern China) about tea egg. Pork/chicken/fish sung might be slightly more regional but can still be found in most part of China, however what you get inside rice might be unique to Taiwan, which I'm not sure (because Taiwan definitely have it and not a lot of places have it but I've not been to every single corner in this world). Bee-tai-bak might be something unique to Taiwan because although you can find it all over Southeast China, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. almost everyone make it savory - few make it sweet like Taiwanese do. Nevertheless I'm not sure if you can find it in 7-11.
