Hello Taiwan!
Two Wheel Cruise here
at the Tonghua Night Market
you might be saying wait a second cruise it's not night
we're actually here during the lunchtime right now and this is still a popular
market here during the lunch time they kind of changed things up and sort of
sell different things like local vegetables and stuff I've heard but we
haven't really entered yet so we don't really know we're gonna check it out
right now we're also going to check it out later check it out at night and see
how it's different see if there's anything different that they're selling
we're really hungry today because we haven't really eaten breakfast we just
actually changed our place that we're staying so we were staying at the space
in hostel and now we're staying at one of our subscribers sort of guest house
an apartment place so anyway it let's go ahead and go check out the market and
get some food
right away we got our local vegetables
some fruits as well and we've also got a bunch of different
restaurants so I'm guessing this is mostly restaurants later at night but
right now we've got all the different fruit and vegetable markets going on
it's pretty crowded and pretty popular right now lots of people out on
different vehicles we got wheel chairs we got bikes we got scooters going
through we're also selling some typical shopping items though some travel bags
opening up a little bit now that we got out of the main vegetable and fruit area
some cheap clothes some different juices bags dresses Chung's got our eyes on the
fruit
terminology sorry or a mushy saga so
some good smells coming from here looks like they got the stinky tofu we're
gonna hopefully try that out one day while we're here some hot pot some
grilled iron plates
Oh might need to stock up on some apples those look really good eight for a
hundred so eight for three bucks bet Chung's favorite fruit I'm not even sure
what this is called but she really loves his son
pretty cheap watermelons in Japan these cost about 30 bucks here about three
hundred three dollars not bad it's actually really annoying that all these
people are using umbrellas even though it's not raining right now I really
really dislike when people use umbrellas when it's not raining especially if it's
not that hot it's actually not that bad right now
and tooling actually also uses umbrellas in the sunlight which I always give a
crap about what do you think is it okay to use umbrellas in the Sun when it's
not raining
a bunch of different foods no idea really what anything is
bunch of meats
so he found a sandwich shop I think we're gonna get something here nice and
simple so I've got some different toast egg
sandwiches ooh barbecue Costa Mesa
yeah this one definitely looks the best so Korean style BBQ it with egg sandwich
looks really good let's try it up
our table is upstairs we're gonna go up this small little stairway
Oh
so this is pretty cool they told us our number so our number is I was like how
do we know when ours is called when we go if we go upstairs and see right
behind me we got the numbers on display so when they call our number 70 will go
down I have to go downstairs again we can
work off more calories and to eat more food slower here tell them our food has
arrived these are about 80 Taiwanese dollars each so about two dollars fifty
cents two hours forty cents per sandwich not really not super cheap but not super
expensive looks really good the lighting here is not doing it justice but we'll
see how good the meat is how good egg is the bread just looks like standard white
bread pardon me don't you I like green so I'm gonna take the green plate let's
dig in
they're holding this it is a little bit small but we'll see if it makes up for
him the taste factor
it's really good really good perfectly cooked eggs with the yolk running a
little bit that's pretty good meal satisfied for now but pretty sure we'll
be hungry again in a little bit since the portions were a little bit small
we're gonna continue exploring around the rest of the market see if we can
find anything else Chung's trying to get me to buy some
fruit so we'll probably get some fruit for her as well and hopefully get out of
here pretty soon so we can go for a nice ride around the city different little
shops along the side speeches all so we're gonna explore down one of the side
streets right now
we got some bananas for our ride later today we're gonna do some cycling around
the city you got to stock up on that potassium on
the hot days like today the
going down another side street now
these are really popular desserts in Japan as well really strong smell
whoo it looks like they have the sweet tart Oh potato really popular flavor
here in Taiwan the taro purple sweet potato and black sesame we've got some
more bubble tea here looks really good
some more drink shops drink shops everywhere here lots of great drink
varieties we've been drinking a little bit too much bubble tea lately but I
guess there's no such thing as too much cup of tea these arcade shops are also
everywhere - pretty interesting all kind of like the same design here we go
looks like they got some good bread options here this looks really good
sesame bread
or she's sold on it we're going to start making our way back
to the entrance loop back around so there's the one Main Street what's wrong
right now and you can kind of loop off on the side streets which we just did
for a little bit lots of random things here lingerie kitchen equipment hats
this is pretty interesting looks like we've got some random life sushi
arrangements
the code looks like they're filling lots of different ingredients here the
regular red bean pasta some black sesame
you can see the different flavors here so we got red bean the black sesame
there's lots of people carrying these kind of like metal basket things behind
them and I like little mini strollers that you carry behind you everyone has
one not kidding it actually makes like walking through
you're pretty difficult because everyone has those or a bike or a scooter or a
wheelchair or an umbrella lots and lots and lots and lots of umbrellas and all
like the old ladies who are using those though seriously what's up with all the
umbrellas that's gonna be it for our tour of the Tonkawa night market or day
market as you can see most of the things that they're selling there are just
fruits and vegetables during the day but they do have a bunch of other things
like meat and fish and all those kinds of things so we're gonna go and check
that place back out again later tonight so we'll make another video about what
it's like at night so if you're interested we'll add it here once it's
done anyway that's gonna be it for this video we're gonna continue on with our
day today and we're gonna go for a nice bike ride around the cities we'll leave
that to the next videos if you're interested normally on this channel we
make videos about cycling and life in Japan but we're here on vacation in
Taiwan right now so we're making a lot of Taiwan videos as well as always
