This episode is a special one because I finally met one of my old lab friend, Rong Hao, after long time no meet. This is our first meeting since we graduated 2 years ago. We explored some of the food in Taipei while catching up with some of our life update. Enjoy the video.
Let me introduce my friend, Ronghao.
This is our first time meeting after we graduated two years ago.
Yeah, finally we meet.
Okay, now we are going to eat lunch.
So where will we eat?
Okay, let's go around.
Hi, choosing the menu.
Okay, I will choose this, that one.
We finally decided to have a lunch in this restaurant.
We didn't on purpose, on planning to eat here.
But the menu looks good.
So we decided to give it a try.
The food that I chose today is noodle with clams.
It looks tempting, right?
This is my first time trying this and I already can feel this is delicious.
Oh, you forgot how to call this?
Yeah, I forgot.
Oh, clam.
Clam, yeah.
Because all my colleagues have a lot of foreigners impression on me.
So I need to practice English more.
So every night, I will take English class.
Why don't you take English class?
Yeah, every night.
Because I want to become like that.
Because until now, I still cannot understand the Indian accent.
So hard, right?
So we have Singapore, Malaysia, and India.
Maybe it's not easy, it's okay for me.
Their accent is okay for me.
But India, it's hard to realize.
You can understand their accent.
I can, I can.
I think it's pretty easy for me.
Easy for you?
My work is very, very busy.
Sometimes I work very late.
Still very late.
Not sometimes, many times.
So you like your work?
I like my work because it's research.
I like it.
I don't like it.
I don't like to read my work.
Really?
I think it's...
I think the taste is so strong, right?
Surprisingly, it's good.
So how long you've been there already?
Four months.
But I still not quit.
You should not quit in the next six years, six months.
Otherwise...
But you like your job, right?
So far, it's good.
I'm enjoying this.
But the pandemic is still serious in Taiwan.
So I think I still need to work.
This video might be a little bit different.
I just casually record our talks while we're eating.
Do you know the feeling when it's been a long time you don't meet your friend?
Yeah, there must be so many stories you want to share, right?
We talked so many things from life update to current working situation.
Okay, anyway.
Suddenly, we came up with an idea.
Why don't we eat Douhua before dinner?
Oh, I think I'm gonna be full.
Because we've been eating since lunch.
And we will keep eating after dinner.
Now we're eating...
Oh yeah, now we're eating Douhua.
So the food is like this.
It's like this.
I choose this is Dongdong.
This is...
How do we call this?
This one is the Douhua.
We can add the soup if we want.
Let's try.
What to eat next?
I thought...
Chicken rice, right?
Chicken rice.
But after this, you're full now.
I thought this is your dinner.
I'm thinking...
Oh, maybe you don't want to eat heavy food.
So you just want to eat small food.
Yeah, I'm thinking wrong how I want to eat small food.
He doesn't want to eat heavy food.
Maybe I can take a small chicken rice.
Yeah.
Small chicken rice is 45, right?
Right? 45?
Yeah, 45.
Finish.
We finished eating the Douhua.
What do you think?
Yeah, it's good.
Okay, near Beiketan.
This is not enough, right?
We need to eat something else.
Yeah, sure.
We will eat...
Chicken rice.
Yeah, chicken rice.
Chicken rice, yes.
Okay.
Today's agenda is eating and eating and eating.
Next restaurant that we want to try is near the place I work.
I think their chicken rice tastes good and I want to bring Ronghao to try it.
We arrived.
This is the shop that we're going to eat today.
First of all, we want to choose the food that we want to order from the menu.
What is that? This one?
Yeah, this one.
Yes.
You know, in the medium time, this is very crowded.
Until sometimes queuing.
Here is the...
This is yours.
This is mine.
So small.
Yeah, this is chicken rice.
The look might only look like this but trust me,
this tastes really delicious.
What is it?
Usually, I don't like it but I think it's good.
Eat something?
Shall we eat?
Sometimes, I also eat chicken rice.
Okay.
This is my home.
Yeah, I know.
Hello.
I have fever until 40 degrees.
And I have a cold and runny nose and diarrhea.
It's a bit difficult to breathe but not severe.
So during that time, are you still a doctor?
I'm not.
What about you?
Yeah, so I'm still a doctor online.
And I have someone to help me to take the medicine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Spicy.
This shop is pretty often to eat.
It's because here is good.
I think this one is only in Taipei, right?
Don't see this from Main Street, right?
Not Main Street.
From the review, it's good.
What do you think?
It's good.
Only this?
Yeah.
It's good.
It's good, right?
Yeah, it's good.
From our food.
So tonight, you are going to join him?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's go.
Bye-bye.
See you next time.
Bye-bye.
