New Year Special: Love Taiwan! Part 2

January 20,2024 OA

In this special New Year's episode, we continue our adventure in Taiwan.
Sightseeing in Taipei begins early in the morning! It's common for locals to have breakfast at eateries or street stalls, so Li Qiang and Yurie set out to explore a popular local morning market. Intrigued by the enticing aromas, Li Qiang approaches a shop known for serving traditional Taiwanese breakfast dishes. As they negotiate for an interview, an unexpected and heartwarming encounter unfolds: the shop owner turns out to be a long-time fan of “Love
Hokkaido" who has been watching the show in Taiwan for years!
Afterwards, they head to a popular area to purchase souvenirs for the viewers. However, along the way, they can't resist making detours to visit tempting dessert shops. The "Taiwanese-style cheesecake" is a delightful, voluminous treat with a fluffy and crispy texture. Its perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of salt makes it a rare find, with a short shelf life of just three days. They also savor a refined sweetness in "almond tea." They get into full-on tasting mode, but the question remains: what will become of their souvenir shopping adventure? Stay tuned until the end of the episode when they reveal the presents they've chosen!
