- Hey guys, it's Inga.
This is my brother Skyler.
And we're here at Raohe
(speaking in foreign language)
which is only a 10 minute walk
away from our grandma's place
so we're here all the time.
Today we're gonna take you
on our usual food crawl
and show you all the street
food that we normally get.
Are you excited?
- Yes.
- OK, let's go.
(upbeat instrumental music)
This is like a Taiwanese classic.
(speaking in foreign language)
Literal translation is big sausage
wrapped around small sausage.
Wow.
(speaking in foreign language)
The big sausage is made of glutenous rice.
The sausage on the inside
is your normal meat sausage.
So it's essentially a
double sausage sandwich.
(speaking in foreign language)
He just said to peel it like a banana.
Big sausage wrapped around little sausage.
- [Skyler] Look at that garlic, ooh yeah.
- It smells so good!
Mm!
The sausage is crispy on the outside
and tender on the inside.
The garlic, there's like super flavorful.
Also the rice is really good, too.
It's very filling.
This is an Asian hot dog.
It's so crowded.
- [Skyler] Yup, people
mountain people sea.
- So we're lining up for the squid.
- It's my favorite.
- [Inga] They broil the squid
then they shake it in the bag like crazy.
(speaking in foreign language)
Look at that, it looks so good!
- [Skyler] It smells so good.
It is spicy.
- It's a look of pain.
It's so good.
- [Skyler] Have a taste
of your own medicine.
- It's not spicy.
Weak!
Weak!
(groovy music)
It's chicken and cheese.
Look at that.
Oh my cactus juice!
I didn't even know
cactus could make juice.
- Oh yes.
- [Inga] They have this thin crepe
and then they have freshly shaved peanut
which they sprinkle on,
followed by two scoops of icy ice cream.
You can choose to put
on cilantro if you want.
How excited are you?
- [Skyler] Very much excited.
- [Inga] So happy.
(upbeat music)
- Mm.
I wanna finish it.
- [Inga] Wait wait wait wait.
- It better taste good.
- Good.
Oh my god.
We found a classic.
Taiwanese fried chicken.
- [Skyler] It's called a
baked (beep) piece of chicken.
- Gigantic piece of chicken.
You used to love eating this.
There's different spices.
And we're going with the original.
Look at how big it is!
It's so big!
(upbeat music)
This is a chicken feast!
You can choose to have it cut,
but we're doing it the OG way.
(speaking in foreign language)
This is ours, the chicken baby.
Oh!
This is your childhood favorite.
It's so big.
It's huge!
That is how big it is.
- Mm.
The batter is just right.
It's like not a lot, not a little.
(mumbling)
- [Inga] Don't talk with your mouth full.
(laughing)
Fries with plum powder.
- [Skyler] Big ass pancake.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Pork jerky.
They roast this in house.
I'm trying to find a trash can.
Can't find one.
This is the dragon beards candy I made.
Masters at work.
(speaking in foreign language)
Oh, he gave us one!
Just for funzies.
So nice!
Yo.
This is the real deal!
- [Skyler] It's so pretty.
- Look at how fluffy it is!
Definitely tastes better than what I made.
- [Skyler] KO.
- Practice makes perfect.
This is so hard to find nowadays!
(speaking in foreign language)
It's a bit on the expensive side,
but it's gonna be worth it.
Right?
(speaking in foreign language)
It's been braised for four hours.
(speaking in foreign language)
(speaking in foreign language)
And lots of chili.
Oh the tendons.
- You have to eat it
with the chili and uh--
- [Inga] The word is--
- What I need now is noodles.
That's the perfect combination.
- What is it, the beef dance?
This is my absolute favorite,
and that's Taiwanese stinky tofu.
It's deep fried so it's
crunchy on the outside
and there's this beautiful sauce.
I eat this every time I come here.
It's super soft on the inside.
- [Skyler] Oo, the smell.
- I love it.
Want one?
- [Skyler] No thank you.
- [Inga] There, I finished it.
Are you getting full?
This is the most famous stall here.
They sell (speaking in foreign language)
which is pepper beef filling
in this really good sal-by.
Look at this line!
(laughing)
This is gonna be a long wait.
What I love about this place
is that they make everything
here at the night market.
It's so fresh.
So exciting.
- [Skyler] How many are we getting?
- One.
We already had so much food!
I wish I could eat more.
I wish I had five stomachs.
I feel like I'm gonna burn my tongue.
- [Skyler] You are gonna burn your tongue.
Oo look at that smoke.
- We get this every time we come here.
So good.
The beef is super juicy.
- It's always worth the wait.
- It's always worth the burn, that's what.
It's a family favorite.
Our mom loves this too.
And the thing is, it's freshly made!
Right on the spot.
Alright, we made it.
I don't know how, that was a lot of food.
- Nah, it wasn't enough.
For me.
This is probably why I gain like 10 pounds
every single time I come here.
I'm here in a few days again.
Sh.
- Alright, let's go home.
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
