hello that mean hey what's up babe team
ham about its you like to seem
tender-hearted obviously you can English
corn building you can see that at Cedar
ICC to put your song with the fan feet I
think you know obviously forget wha ya
sabe welcome to my house welcome to our
feast it's a beautiful place with
beautiful food wonder-percent great so
first things first
can you talk a little bit about yourself
in your channel I'm self a or an English
Logan Beck and I'm from America Utah and
then I moved to Taiwan one year ago and
since moving here I decided Taiwan's
actually a great place the food the
people the culture everything about it I
love it I don't know make a lots of
travel videos on some eating videos and
I'll just do lots of fun stuff with that
where I take my family my my wife and my
son with me you know the first time that
I watched a video ok what's the one
where you were eating I think spicy
noodle with your wife and then after
that I kind of been to watch a couple of
days of you traveling I think you're
kind of like the travel guru yeah go to
all sorts of places yeah I kind of
changed needs to say this I think you've
been to more places in Taiwan than I
have
you know I've noticed that the most how
many people saw Peltier Mike a lot two
places so I thought why not invite you
over and they can try the hot hot we can
go over all the common ingredients in
English and we can be okay
I'm holding down with that I love a hot
hot let's first start by going through
all the different ingredients so first
off we have some veggies here the
cabbage some recall that bell peppers
some bell peppers and then red peppers
yep and then over here we have the meat
so with a very good corner and work and
then here we've got seafood there's the
crab scallops okay and squid okay and
these are prawns what was the difference
between a promise trip you know I'm
gonna be honest here I'm not a thief
got now if I remember though prawns are
gonna be abnormally a bit larger and
then where they're kind of living over
here we've got some rice cakes with tofu
pockets no I don't mean tofu skin type
of skin I got it so I guess you take
dried beancurd skin right and over here
more vegetables this is the Taiwanese
lettuce this is the Tommies lettuce here
are some varieties of mushrooms and then
finally we have this hobo Papa
ingredients we've got some fish cake
we've got some pyro and all sorts of
dumplings did you eat this oh this this
the black one yeah all the black one
this is the piglets oh yes pig blood
cake
it's our other more common ingredient
selfie in the regulars have a nice hot
pot okay one major thing that we do
without hot box is that the team sucks
oh yes so here we have different things
for the sauce so barley green onions
chili and we sauce this is what we call
a full head barbecue sauce this is a
must-have for Tony so it definitely
embodies which one do you want to try
Chris okay I am a meat fan okay I'm a
hardcore carnivore okay we can just like
throw some ahead on there and then these
of a big fan of these two you know key
much from enoki mushrooms yep these they
kind of they're hard to digest yes
no the I wear them in Chinese I mean
hinge in these guys they're gonna be
there tomorrow
oh yeah this is a great like little
memory of this great meal so today we
have a pot with a separator in between
so that you can contain two drops with
in one pot this is the citron pepper
broth
and then this one usually we have a
chicken broth but this time we have a
pork broth okay let's throw it in yeah
whatever we mount one
[Music]
okay for now on ghosts with it so well
this is cooking I thought we could chat
it a little bit about the cultural
differences between America and okay the
first question that I really wanted to
get off my chest
have you ever had hot dog before you
came to Taiwan yes I did yes there was a
time when I went to China for a while
and I had it there but have you ever had
it in America yes in Utah no but I lived
in DC for a while on there a mitt with
lots of Chinese people over the time I
had a hotpot quite a few times
oh you have hot pot in America was it in
a Chinese hot pot restaurant no they
actually did not have any restaurants I
don't know one restaurant is there but
most every single time it was out of a
house just like this really think in my
hometown at one place there and for all
you can eat which is not even many
options it's let's see gonna be 25
dollars that would be equivalent to
that's not too bad but but then the
quality was really bad so like the
options were like many of the meat
wasn't the most fresh face of the soup
wasn't that good either so we're eating
with your dollars well that's not it
okay so you don't have a lot of hot pot
restaurants in America it depends where
you go where I'm from there's not a
large Asian community uh-huh but if you
probably go to San Francisco LA it'll
probably be quite a few odd places but
nothing like Taiwan now cuz in Taiwan I
think every other shop so it's something
that Americans we don't really know
about and it's not in our culture so
actually what I like to do within my
videos are like the engine is crock-pot
just so I can show my friends back at
home how wonderful this thing it will
have some places where it's called
fondue fun too okay yeah it's basically
a lot hot but we don't use as extreme
foods as this and most people use a
chocolate fondue damn whatever where
it's basically just chocolate and use 50
another big reason why we don't have hot
pots is because Americans we like to get
it all cooked all at once and then heat
it up hot hot I mean if you look at it
in a time one sense it's less of a meal
more of a conversation and Americans we
like to pound down food and leave the
table for us to go ahead hot hot it
takes a long time so I'll have big soups
where you put lots of stuff in the soup
but they've already cooked all done so
you can just grab your big spoon boom
womany so it's not like just only a
slowly add agree completely it is as
much a meal as a social gathering yep
number one rule is that you don't eat
with people you don't like yes yes thank
you feel honored I think this is about
ready let's check it out and it looks
like the prawns have changed colors yes
okay wow this is looking good gorgeous
so that's eat I am so excited for this
what I think is really special about my
lap it's one that's not initial but
it'll carry on the morning eat yeah and
it almost numbs your mouth well ma I
think that's my favorite part about
hotpot cuz it's something so different
than American food because you've got
this Maya in there
the spicy meat mm-hmm this is actually a
solid pot pot
mmm great broth and the meats very fresh
and the vegetables definitely if they're
the best ones I've had okay so we've had
our fill we ate very good most of the
food here but we didn't finish
everything and there's so much my mom
prepared so much yes well I mean we
still have a few hours maybe at night
and course supper and for tomorrow's
breakfast yeah what did you think of the
meal you know I'm actually very
impressed really good the spicy flavor
was unreal and I love the use pork right
the pork was it like actually one of
those more of a sweet kind of port who
was a nice soft taste it actually went
very well with all the vegetables what's
your favorite ingredient besides to me
okay well besides they meet I've got a
few the enoki mushrooms
these are really good I think so because
they hold lots of the spice because they
soak up all the water that's true and it
just gets a really good taste in there
as well as all the lettuce everything
the key point is cust abroad is good
yeah that complements things we did to
make them better so it's kind of like
that play together but really the broth
is one of the most important partners
it's the foundation yeah the hot pot so
what is your favorite thing oh well
since I can't eat meat
my favourite thing would be I think the
seafood I'm relocating good guy the
prawns did really good for me okay
especially what are you cooking in this
spicy broth cuz it doesn't take up a lot
of the spiciness yeah it just fresh
scallops and squid they're just precious
even I think as long as the secret is
fresh and it's couldn't have a good bra
it just clicks immediately my least
favorite it would be all these
ingredients
I don't like processed food example it's
something that I don't like in every
single hotpot and they put these the
fish case where yeah it's covered and it
just artificials yeah it seems
artificial to me I just like my food to
be natural like yeah like that like that
it's like natural food instead of
something that came out of the machine
yeah exactly and I have to say the
hotpot I think went ok with the meat gel
not just ok actually I figured out when
things get spicy do Antony Joe I'm going
to combat that it actually kind of
chills that spice I don't want you to
eat right okay I'll talk to to have
Anita a la that makes me happen here
