Hi guys,
Thank you for watching. My name is Rizal, from Indonesia. I am an engineer and currently living in Taiwan.
Any discussions and/or suggestions are very welcome in the comment section. Thank you for reading this note and watching this video. I can’t wait to see you on the next video.
hallo, good morning
my name is Rizal, welcome back to my channel
so today I am going to try Kaohsiung local breakfast
based on what I search
here in Kaohsiung, one of the very famous breakfast dish is milkfish congee
so I'm gonna try how it tastes
behind me is the shop, let's go
OK so I have the milkfish congee in front of me right now
they cut the milkfish into pieces
wow, we know that milkfish has a lot of bones, right
but I don't see any bones
there is oyster and fried dough sticks and celery
let's try to mix them all together
hmm, I'm very curious about how it tastes
whoa
do you know the taste of congee, right
it's more savory, because it has a fish taste
and
do you know in Indonesia
when we talk about congee, the rice will be melted
but right now, we still can see the rice structure
it's like rice and soup in Taiwan
I mean Taiwan style of congee is like that
we still can see the shape of rice
that's a different between in Indonesia and in Taiwan
this fried dough sticks is pretty common in Taiwan breakfast
mmm
I think eating together with this fried dough stick is so good
I think with a taste like this, with this very good taste, the price is very cheap
the price is only 50 NT dollars
and you can get a pack of small bowl of milkfish congee
when the first time I came to Taiwan
I thought maybe the culture in here is not the same with in Indonesia
because people in here will not eat rice in the morning
but turns out
I found another style of eating breakfast in Taiwan, in Kaohsiung
people eat congee for breakfast
very special
oh they give more than one oysters, wow
if you come to Kaohsiung, make sure that you try this food
because this is a must-try food in Kaohsiung
very special
really really different with the common style of Taiwan breakfast shop that we usually eat in north of Taiwan
to me small portion is enough
because I used to eat breakfast not that much
then this small portion is a perfect size for me
OK so I am in Dān dān hànbǎo (Dandan hamburger)
this is a BBQ chicken burger
and this one is fried chicken
and cola
and they gave us black pepper powder
actually in here the very famous menu that most people order is Miàn xiàn (noodle)
but I think it has pork inside however
so unfortunately I cannot eat that
since the name is Dandan hamburger, so I'm gonna try their burger
wow
so this is a burger
inside, they have a BBQ chicken and some vegetables
I think they put mustard
let's try
it's a little bit sweet
but the taste of the BBQ is pretty strong
for the drinks you can choose cola or sprite or lemon brown tea
the taste come out after you bite the chicken
so you really have to go deep down to the chicken until you find the taste
otherwise you get only the outer part, which is only powder
it's very difficult to get a seat in here
because the shop is very crowded
I had to queue before getting the seat
so it's normal if you come to Dandan hamburger, and they're queuing, you don't directly get your seat
if you guys can eat pork, it is recommended to eat their Miàn xiàn (noodle)
because when I came here, I saw so many people in here on the table, they eat Miàn xiàn
if you can eat pork, then you can try it
the chicken is so tender inside
but it's covered with a very crispy outer skin
I think you could come here and try it by yourself
now we're going to enter the MRT
and heading to the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas
yeah we have arrived in Dragon and Tiger Pagodas
but it's under construction now, oh no
I did not expect it
I'm not sure we can go inside or not
anyway before going to the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas
we will cross the bridge like zigzag (in a zigzag way)
and first of all
we have to enter from the dragon's throat
and then go out from tiger's mouth
that means we are turning the bad luck into the good luck
that's the meaning
let's go inside
did you see some people go out from (dragon's throat)...
what does that mean...
we have to enter from the dragon's throat
and then go out from tiger's mouth
that means we are turning the bad luck into the good luck
that means turning the good luck into the bad luck ???
OK so we are inside the dragon's throat right now
so beautiful, we have so many details on the wall
the dragon and the tiger are connected
oh
okay we just went out from the dragon side
and I think
this side is the one that connects the dragon and tiger
oh right now this door is closed
it seems like this is a way up to the Pagoda
this is the Pagoda side of the dragon
and that one is the Pagoda side of the Tiger
here we can see the tail of the dragon
yeah this side is the tail of the dragon
oh we also can see the tiger
unfortunately everything is under construction now
that we can not really explore and go up
let's go further
after going out from the dragon and to go to the tiger, we need to go back
I mean the backside and then there is a bridge in here
in here at the backside of it, we can see the Lotus Pond actually
nearby, it seems like we have some spots that we actually can explore
not only the Dragon and Tiger pagodas, but I saw some temples as well nearby
this side is already the tiger side actually
the same with the dragon side, here also has this room
this room is actually (for) going up to the pagoda
but it's right now closed because it's under construction
oh, normally they open from 08:00 am to 05:30 pm
OK we are going to enter the tiger side from the back
ah
so the decoration is similar to the one in the dragon side
once we enter the back side of the tiger
then go straight, then we will go out from tiger's mouth
wow, this is the tiger's mouth
OK, the journey is completed here
I hope I can go back and try to see the experiences if this is not under construction
OK, time to go back to Zuoying Station
Hi, to High Speed Rail Station, please
There is car crash at the back
car crash?
that's why I went out from the opposite way
oh
oh
there's a car crash just now
we have arrived
we are now in Zuoying Station
so today
I failed to get the reserved seat of the High Speed Rail Train Ticket
because it's fully booked
actually since Thursday, Friday at that time (today is Sunday)
all of the seat is already fully booked from Kaohsiung to north
it seems like everyone is going back from Kaohsiung to each of the cities
so fortunately, I got a non-reserved seat ticket
and I found that the whole train is for non-reserved seat (actually I was mentally prepared for standing, lol)
this is my first time seeing THSR that the whole train is non-reserved
so you can sit anywhere as far as it's available
so my ticket is non-reserved
lucky to have this train
we have one magazine
it's gonna be 2 hours travel to Banqiao
there is no difference between reserved and non-reserved seat facility
actually this train, there is one car is business class, in car number six
the rest of it is non-reserved
it will depart 6 minutes after this
pretty lucky
hahaha
Bye-bye Kaohsiung
Until next time Zuoying
so I am back to Banqiao right now
later on I will take local train or Tze-Chiang going back to Taoyuan
OK, thank you very much today for watching this video
I will see you on the next video
bye-bye
