Stay tuned! 🇹🇼

Been to 4 continents, Taiwan has some of the best food, and the cutest, kindest, most polite people :)

[wudemaya]

Was just in Taipei a week ago. I miss it already! Thanks for the food tour!

[ingridnh]

So good to see you guys are abroad again, and visiting the country of Claire’s heritage…wonderful!
Taipei looks like a beautiful mix of modern city and traditional Taiwanese architecture. Such lovely green spaces!
I love scallion pancakes and all of the other food looked delicious!
Loved hearing Claire use her Mandarin. Thanks so much for this amazing glimpse into Taiwan and its culture. ❤

[EricandSarah]

Wooo Taiwan! So cool to see you speaking Mandarin, Claire. You both have such a great way of explaining things and bringing us into the experience. Love this video so much haha Can't wait to see more! 👀👀

[carolmartin]

What a heartwarming video of your homeland, Claire. Beautiful city. I heard their food is exquisite...now I'm seeing it. Prayers to Taiwan as a country...cheers to you two on your continued journey!

[beaumac]

Really great video. I’m going next month and will probably try everything you showed. Thanks 😊

[eightballjamal]

Looks absolutely amazing. My Chinese friend says you’re just being humble and your mandarin is more than just kindergarten level. Good on you for keeping in touch with your roots and spreading culture to others!

[IsabelSanchez-sw]

Love your adventures and the way you enjoy food!

[secondyaya]

Yeah, you're back! Missed y'all!

[theknittingpt]

I was so excited to see this video pop up! My mom is Taiwanese and I spent 3 years there as an elementary school student. I always love going back and eating all the wonderful food, and now you've got me impatiently waiting for my next trip back. Love how open Chad is to trying all the Taiwanese food - I know our QQ textures can be so foreign to people who aren't used to it, but loved seeing how adventurous he was and that he kept giving the oh-ah-jian a try!

[atsaichu]

Many cities in Taiwan have now banned single use plastic containers for serving food and drink. That's why most boba tea shops have switched to opaque paper cups.

Hey Chad and Claire glad to see you guys back on the road.

Who’s taking care of Gretel while you’re away?

I’m glad to see that Clara got to go back to Taiwan. Great to see Chad experiencing Taiwanese food looking forward to more great adventures for you both. Happy lunar new year!
