Street Food in TAIPEI TAIWAN 2019
The ULTIMATE Chinese FOOD & CRAFT BEER Tour in French Concession | Shanghai, China
Subscribe to my channel ►
Check out my blog ►
In April of 2019, I had the amazing fortune of getting hired by a fantastic company in China for a one-day job. I extended my trip to twelve days so I could properly explore Shanghai, a city I first visited in 2015 with my father. I also added days in the cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou so I could experience places that were completely new to me. I can’t wait to share this epic series with you!
Follow UnTour Food Tours on Instagram:
My second full day in China continued with a mind-blowing Chinese food and craft beer tour in the French Concession, an area I had explored earlier that morning. I linked up with my boy Topher from UnTour Food Tours, who would be taking me around to his favorite spots in the area. I’d never had Chinese craft beer, so I was super excited!
UnTour Food Tours do amazing tours in Shanghai and Beijing, and also work with other companies in Chengdu and Hong Kong, so check them out if you’re ever in China!
We headed out to explore the middle part of Shanghai. This area contains lots of glitzy boutiques. Everything there looked brand new and luxurious and there were lots of skyscrapers.
We started at Liquid Laundry, a super nice and modern gastropub and nanobrewery that offers 15 beers. I started with a Cezanne farmhouse ale, which was smooth and silky with a hint of coconut. The head had a nice, creamy flavor!
Then we tried some from the barrels. They have a 3-barrel system and 8 fermenting tanks. We tried a Haze IPA, which was light, cloudy, and creamy with a nice head. The next one was tangy. Then we tried a flight of beers with an imperial stout, porter, cocoa porter, honey wine, an IPA, and a Cezanne.
The Cezanne was very light. The wheat pale ale had a hint of wheat, and the mango IPA had a nice mango flavor. The next one was like a sparkling water with a honey finish. The porter had notes of coconut and chocolate, and the imperial stout was perfect for the cold weather outside. There were notes of vanilla. It was my favorite one!
Then it was time to eat! We headed down a dark back alley, but Shanghai is a really safe city. We went for some dumplings. There were lots of different varieties to choose from, so I had Topher surprise me with our order.
We got some Suntory beer and boiled cabbage and pork dumplings. We made a dipping sauce out of rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili sauce, dried chili, and minced garlic. It was so good. The sauce was amazing! I loved the spice, but it sneaks up on you!
We headed back down the street with our beers—open containers are allowed in China. Next, we headed to The Camel, which was voted Shanghai’s best sports bar. Most of the beers here aren’t local craft beers; they’re imported. We only got 4 Chinese beers: a nice and hoppy American Wild Ale, a juicy hazy IPA, a malty pale ale, and a Maybach that tasted like a German beer. I loved the IPA!
Then we walked about 5 minutes to get some knife-cut beef noodles. They’re made with a dense, high-gluten dough. They only take 30 seconds to boil. We tried the most-consumed beer in the world, which was very watery. Then, we dug into the noodles!
The noodles were thick and had a great sauce. They were also al dente and super tasty. We added some spice to them. I loved the mix of the heat, sauce, cilantro, and noodles. I didn’t want them to end!
Our last stop was Daga Brew Pub, which focuses on Chinese craft beer. I liked it a lot. It was packed with people. We got five beers. I started with a jasmine tea lager, which was so different. I liked it! Then was a German wheat beer, a Sichuan IPA, a hoppy hazy IPA, and a brown ale.
What an amazing Chinese food and craft beer tour! If you enjoyed coming along with me on it, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food content!

Taiwan Street Food and Attractions - BLOWTORCH Steak at Shilin Night Market! (Day 2)
We first visited Longshan Temple and then had amazing Taiwan street food at Shilin Night Market!
►Check out my Taipei Travel Guide for Food Lovers:
►Subscribe to my videos:
Day 2 of traveling in Taiwan was a big sightseeing day. We went to Longshan Temple, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial, at dumplings, and finished with the famous Shilin Night Market.
The first place we went was Longshan Temple, one of the most famous and most popular temples in the heart of Taipei, and it’s typically included as one of the main things to do in Taipei. Since we were staying in Ximending, an area not too far from Longshan Temple, we decided to walk there, but it’s also easily accessible by Taipei Metro. The temple was extremely busy and packed full of people. The busyness created a real buzz and interesting feeling at the temple. After spending about 30 minutes at Longshan Temple we moved on our next Taipei attraction.
Our next stop on this sightseeing day in Taipei was Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, one of the most famous landmarks in the entire city. Again, we easily got there by metro, and then we could just walk around on foot once we got there. On the same compound you’ll also find the National Theater and a number of beautiful buildings, but the main building, colored white and blue and that looks like a castle is Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. We happened to arrive right on the hour so we caught a bit of the changing of the guards ceremony, but it also takes places every hour if you go.
For lunch we walked over to a restaurant called Jin Ji Yuan (好公道金雞園), which is a local restaurant serving a variety of Taiwanese food, but especially known for their version of xiao long bao, which are Taiwanese soup dumplings. It only took about 10 minutes to walk to the restaurant from Chiang Kai-shek, and it was well worth the walk as we were all hungry. They were cooking all the food downstairs, and they led us upstairs to eat - where there was a full dining room. The menu was in both Chinese and English, but the menu checksheet to choose the dishes we wanted to order was all in Chinese, so we just did our best to choose the same ones. We order a couple steamed baskets of xiao long bao and a few side dishes including some of their famous fried chicken. Everything was delicious, and this was one of our first full meals of Taiwanese food.
After lunch we took a short rest back at our hotel for a few hours, and then made our way over to Shlin Night Market, often considered the biggest and the most legendary night market in Taiwan’s long list of amazing night markets. We arrived in the late afternoon, and already, there was a massive crowd there ready to go shopping and to eat snacks out of control. I was amazing at the amount of people and the amount of food available at the Shilin Night Market - and even though some people say it’s touristy, and that locals have given up on Shilin Night Market, I think it’s still quite popular with locals. While at Shilin Night Market I was able to eat some delicious Taiwanese street food, and I had a piece of stinky tofu (which I didn’t know was stinky tofu at the time of eating it). Shilin Night Market is a thrill to visit, one of the amazing things to do when you’re in Taipei.
That was it for Day 2 of this Taiwan travel and food guide vlog series. Thank you for watching!

Taipei's Most Famous Braised Pork Rice Bowl (Jin Feng 金峰魯肉飯) - Taiwanese Food Lou Rou Fan!
►See more photos & details about Jin Feng (金峰魯肉飯) on my blog:
Lu rou fan (滷肉飯), a braised pork rice bowl, is one of the most popular and perhaps the national dish of Taiwan. You can find it at nearly all Taiwanese restaurants, and it’s available to eat as an entire meal, including rice and protein, or it’s sometimes just used as the base of a meal, accompanied by other side dishes. Although you’ll find it nearly everywhere, still one of the most famous restaurants in Taipei to get a taste of braised pork rice is Jin Feng (金峰魯肉飯) restaurant (also sometimes spelled Kinfen Restaurant).
Just like other famous restaurants in Taipei, Jin Feng (金峰魯肉飯) get super packed out and crowded and a bit chaotic during meal peak times, so we arrived a little before the main lunch rush one day. I was excited to try their version of lu rou fan (滷肉飯), and along with getting a large bowl of it, we also ordered a few side dishes like a plate of stir fried water morning glory, some braised eggs, a piece of braised tofu, and a winter melon soup. Though the restaurant was busy, the service was pretty speedy and the waitresses were pretty nice, and ours could speak a little English as well - however, if you don’t speak Chinese, it’s best if you can take some photos of what you want to order to make it easier.
I started with the lu rou fan (滷肉飯), the famous Taiwanese braised pork rice bowl. The pork wasn’t as oily or as fatty as some other versions of the same dish that I had during my travels in Taiwan - but don’t get me wrong, it was still extremely greasy, but not overly so. The rice was nice and sticky, and the braised minced pork on top was extremely soft and tender, with a mix of both meat and fat on top. The fragrant oil of the braised pork coated the rice, making the entire mixture extremely taste. It was surely the best bowl of lu rou fan that I had when I was in Taipei.
Along with the braised pork rice, we also had a couple of braised eggs, which were also good. They had huge yolks, and the egg whites were a little rubber with the yolks being extremely creamy and rich on the inside. We also had a plate of stir fried water morning glory, which was cooked in lots of oyster sauce and sprinkled with crispy fried garlic on top. Additionally we also had a winter melon soup, which was very plain, and went well with the full meal.
Jin Feng Braised Pork Rice (金峰魯肉飯) is one of the most famous restaurants in Taipei for their lu rou fan, and it really is extremely good and worth coming here just to eat.
Jin Feng Braised Pork Rice (金峰魯肉飯)
Address: No. 10, Section 1, Roosevelt Rd, 中正區台北市 Taiwan 100
Open hours: 8 am - 1 am daily
Prices: Prices are very reasonable, you can get a good meal for $3 - $5 per person. Our total bill came to just 220 TWD ($6.75) for two of us.
How to get there: To get to Jin Feng Braised Pork Rice (金峰魯肉飯) take the MRT to Chiang Kai Shek station, Exit #2, and walk straight for about 50 meters. You’ll see the restaurant right ahead of you with its bright sign with the mountains in the background.

10 Best Things to do in Kyoto
There are a million things to do in Kyoto, but these were my personal favorites from my time in the most historical city in Japan.
Here are my 10 best things to do in Kyoto:
** The most important advice I can give is to wake up as early as possible, I mean super early.
1. Rent a bike - this is the best way to beat the tourist traffic in Kyoto.
---
2. Bamboo Forest - Small forest in the neighboring area of Arashiyama.
---
3. Fushimi Inari Shrine - It is literally a mountain of hidden shrines, symbolic figurines and a seemingly never-ending pathway to spiritual enlightenment.
---
4. Ninja Dojo Class - Kyoto is the cultural mecca of Japan, and while you’re here its good to get a taste of that - be it fact or folklore.
---
5. Kyoto Samurai Experience - As you’ve seen in last week’s video, begin to understand the way of the warrior through samurai training.
---
6. Imperial Palace - Within Kyoto’s Central Park, is the Imperial Palace. Its a massive campus with pristine gardens and lots of room to do royal things.
---
7. Kinkaku-ji - “the Golden Pavilion” another expansive grounds centered around this lavish zen buddhist temple.
---
8. Heian Shrine - a beautiful Shinto shrine.
---
9. Gion District - Perhaps the most popular thing to do in Kyoto. This is where you can spot the famous geishas heading to and from appointments. Watch the sunset next to the Yasaka Pagoda.
---
Bonus: Find a great Shabu Shabu restaurant.
---
10. Karaoke - Finish the day at a Japanese Karaoke spot where you pay by the hour to sing and party!
---
In my personal opinion, these are the best things to do in Kyoto.
