and see words like 'paradise' and 'heaven'

repeatedly used to articulate why Taiwan is the world's hottest destination for food lovers.

Before visiting Taiwan myself, I have to admit I didn't really realize that it's known

在我自己訪問台灣之前，我不得不承認 我並沒有真正意識到這是眾所周知的

as THE place to come and eat but I understood why very quickly.

作為吃飯的地方 但我很快就理解了為什麼。

In this video, I'm showing you some delicious foods to try that you cannot miss,

在這個視頻中，我向你展示了一些 嘗試的美味食物，你不能錯過，

but check out my other Taiwan food videos for more.

As always with yummy food videos, sorry in advance if you're watching on an empty stomach.

和美味的食物視頻一樣，提前抱歉 如果你空腹看著。

Let's start with something classic you find on nearly every street corner: bubble tea.

讓我們從你找到的經典開始吧 在幾乎每個街角：泡茶。

There's some mystery around the exact origins of this magical elixir

周圍有一些謎 這種神奇靈藥的確切起源

but the gist of it is that the founder of a tea house in Taichung started serving tea cold in the 1980s

但它的主旨是茶館的創始人 在台中，在20世紀80年代開始供應​​冷茶

after he saw coffee being served that way.

他看到咖啡就這樣送達了。

Then, during a staff meeting in 1988, his product development manager

然後，在1988年的員工​​會議期間， 他的產品開發經理

dumped her tapioca pudding into her tea and everybody loved it.

甩了她的木薯布丁 進入她的茶，每個人都喜歡它。

Within a few months, this new concoction outsold all the other teas

幾個月內，這個新的混合物 超過所有其他茶

and now it's one of Taiwan's best-known exports.

現在它是台灣最知名的出口產品之一。

Hear that sound?

聽到那聲音？

This is my absolute favourite kind of bubble tea.

這是我最喜歡的那種泡茶。

It's the brown sugar milk pearl tea.

這是紅糖牛奶珍珠茶。

It's definitely sweet but it's not too sweet

它絕對甜美，但它不太甜

and you can choose if you want sugar or not and how much sugar you want

如果你想要糖，你可以選擇 你需要多少糖

and whether you want the little balls or not.

以及你是否想要小球。

You can also have it just without the… the balls but why would you?

你也可以沒有...... 球，但你為什麼要這樣？

Thank you, Taiwan, for creating bubble tea.

謝謝台灣製作泡茶。

I also learned how to make the little balls that go in bubble tea at a Taiwanese cooking class

我還學會瞭如何製作小球 在台灣烹飪課上泡泡茶

so I'll link that video if you want to see how they're made.

如果你願意，我會鏈接那個視頻 看他們是如何製作的。

So if I have bubble tea in one hand

所以，如果我一手泡茶

there is no question what you'll find in my other hand: dumplings.

毫無疑問你會發現什麼 在我的另一隻手：餃子。

Possibly the most famous dumplings – or xiaolongbao - in the world come from Taiwan,

可能是最有名的餃子 - 或小籠包 - 世界上來自台灣，

specifically from a restaurant called Din Tai Fung.

特別是來自一家叫鼎泰豐的餐館。

It's now a major international brand.

它現在是一個主要的國際品牌。

You may have even heard of it.

你甚至可能聽說過它。

But it all started in a small shop in Taipei in 1958.

但這一切始於1958年在台北的一家小商店。

We went to the location at the bottom of Taipei 101, which is a major landmark in Taiwan.

我們去了台北101的底部， 這是台灣的一個重要里程碑。

And obviously other than actually eating the food,

顯然，除了實際吃的食物，

the best part is that you can watch where a very talented crew of people actually make the dumplings.

最好的部分是你可以看到一群非常有才華的人真正製作餃子。

Even though they're incredibly fast – their skill level means that each dumpling is top notch quality.

即使他們的速度非常快 - 他們的技能水平也是如此 意味著每個餃子都是一流的品質。

And this might not mean as much unless you've actually tried to make dumplings yourself,

除非你這樣做，否則這可能並不意味著什麼 實際上是想自己做餃子，

but after I gave it a try at a cooking class, I have a whole new appreciation for the craftsmanship

但是在我在烹飪課上嘗試之後，我有 對工藝的全新欣賞

that goes into each and every little dumpling.

進入每一個小餃子。

The ones I made, for example, had four folds, the Din Tai Fung dumplings have 18 folds.

例如，我製作的那些有四個折疊， 鼎泰豐餃子有18折。

18!

18！

They're impossibly thin and delicate with a juicy filling inside

它們不可能薄而精緻 裡面多汁的填充物

and I feel like if there's a gold standard for dumplings, Din Tai Fung is it.

我覺得如果有餃子的黃金標準， 鼎泰豐就是這樣。

You take the dumpling in one hand with your chopsticks and hold a spoon with the other

你一手拿著餃子 用你的筷子和另一個拿勺子

because it's so juicy that, when you bite into it, the spoon helps to catch the liquid.

因為它太多了，當你咬它時， 勺子有助於捕獲液體。

We loved adding the signature sauce as well, which is a blend of soy sauce, vinegar, and loads of ginger.

我們也喜歡添加招牌醬，這是 醬油，醋和生薑的混合物。

We tried different kinds of dumplings and I liked them all

我們嘗試了不同種類的餃子 我喜歡他們

but the traditional pork were my favourite.

但傳統的豬肉是我最喜歡的。

It was a true feast and the table was just laden with food.

這是一場真正的盛宴和餐桌 只是裝滿了食物。

We also had the Din Tai Fung house special of bean sprouts, glass noodles,

我們還有鼎泰豐特別的房子 豆芽，玻璃面，

strips of seaweed, and bean curd,

as well as cucumbers in chili oil,

以及辣椒油中的黃瓜，

一些炒飯，

and wontons in a spicy sauce.

The hot and sour soup was full of flavour

酸辣湯充滿了味道

with ingredients like tofu and wood ear mushrooms (which I don't normally like)

用豆腐和木耳蘑菇等食材 （我通常不喜歡）

and I appreciate that they don't make it too hot on purpose

而且我很欣賞他們沒有 因故意太熱

so that you can add your own spice to taste.

這樣你就可以添加自己的味道了。

Din Tai Fung is very, very popular so try to book a reservation in advance

or be prepared to wait.

As you can tell, though, it is worth it.

This lovely woman that I was chatting with literally chased after me when I left the restaurant

to gift me with a bag of pineapple cake.

Speaking of desserts: we need to talk about shaved ice.

說到甜點： 我們需要談談刨冰。

It's a specialty in Taiwan and, if you've seen my other Taiwan videos,

這是台灣的特產， 如果你看過我的其他台灣視頻，

you know that it gets very hot in the summertime, like really hot,

and try serving other foods in shells.

Anyway we tried three kinds on a scorcher of a day.

無論如何，我們在一天的scorcher上嘗試了三種。

The first are caramelized mulberry and fresh aiyu jelly.

首先是焦糖桑椹和新鮮的aiyu果凍。

Now aiyu isn't very common to find outside Taiwan and it's a new taste for me.

現在aiyu並不常見 在台灣以外，對我來說這是一種新的味道。

It's made from the gel of a seed of a type of fig that's indigenous to Taiwan so it's really special.

它是由一種無花果種子的凝膠製成的 這是台灣本土的，所以它真的很特別。

And we also had straight shaved ice topped with bitter mango

我們也有直的刨冰 配上苦澀的芒果

and the coldness of the ice and the tartness of the fruit really just took the edge off the hot day.

我學會了牛肉麵 是在不同的視頻中製作的

so I'll link that if you want to see how you can try making them at home too.
