what's wrong with these camera guys, they never shoot close ups of all the girls who are cute or pretty, they only do that to the old ladies and the ugly ones. I notice Anthony Bourdain's camera man doing the same thing too. This guy doesn't shoot a close up of this cute girl at all, but he shot so many close up shots of the next lady coming up. Lame azzz.
It's wonderful to see some tea tasting for once in this show. I love tea myself, so it is great to see the tea being brewed and tasted in it's original environment. :)
@devilhunterred What an arrogant thing to say. Tired of such Sinocentric brainfarts to suggest everything originates from one place. Civilization influences each other but it also develops in its own way. Food culture originates and evolves very specific to the climate, culture and people. Japanese and Korean food are distinctly different from Chinese and vice verse.
According to someone that I ahve spoken to it is served in certain parts of the world and it is called "long pig" The meat is VERY sweet and a delicasy... I hate knowing some of the stuff I do...
I love tea, I barely have any food in my fridge, some chickpeas and lentils in my pantry and half a shelf in the pantry dedicated to tea. I want to go there
I'm Taiwanese and I don't drink tea! LOL every time I go to a restaurant be it in Taiwan or America, they always have tea. Most of the time I'd just go for some water or even a glass of soda.
@ChowZeb You are right that Tea isn't bizarre, but it is what they did here with them that makes it bizarre. I have never tried or seen tea eating dishes before myself and I came from HK.
I confirm it is not illegal otherwise, it won't be sold all around market in South East Asia. The thing is that it stinks like, well, hell and so it is banned in many public places like hotel rooms, movie theater etc...
Yanno, it's really irritating to hear that "No wonder with all the weird food he eats he isn't dead." People wouldn't eat it if it would kill them. Let's all be mature and smart for once okay? Thanks.
There was the episode where he tried to eat Durian (which is, in some places, an illegal fruit that is grown in Asia) where he said, in his opinion, it tasted awful. But I've seen people say that, despite the horrific smell (because it's said to smell like "Rotted carrion or dung"), it tastes like banana-nut custard. I guess it really all comes down to opinion, and Andrew Zimmern's views are merely that - his opinion.
First of all, the place where he ate the durain is Malaysia. The durain fruit that he ate is not illegal. You can get a durain at from $1 USD to $5 USD anywhere and everywhere at southeast asia. Just for your information. =)
Oh really? I thought it was banned in most countries in southeast Asia? I'm sorry, my mistake. I'm actually quite curious as to try Durian. Smell aside, its intriguing that there is such a wide difference in opinion about it. From tasting like "dung" to "raspberry walnut custard", its odd that a fruit would ever taste anything like what's been said about it. At least, it looks alot safer to eat than alot of the stuff Andrew Zimmern has tried. (I could never eat beating snake heart, for example)
well, it doesn't taste like dung but it definitly doesn't taste very good to me, it's somethin that you like the first you eat it, but it's mostly something that you have to keep eating to like
The pasta cooked in the tea oil looks so delicious. I'm not normally fond of Asian cuisine, but these tea based dishes look divine! I'd love to go to this place for my honeymoon
Unseenshadow81 you are a nasty, perverted,side-show freak! How dare you insult women like that. You have absolutely no class, and you deserve to be classified as a freakin' sexual predator you asshole!
No wonder with all the weird foods that he downs. It's not wonder he hasn't had a heart attack yet. However, he's shows makes one very hungry when you watch it.
love this shoe too lol i have ate some of that but to me durian friut taste like beef liver and pineapple combined with a horrible smell taste like heaven smells like hell they all say lol, but the people are wonderful something u can never find here america

She may be from Pinglin Tea Museum. Because Pinglin is famous for tea to travelers(foreigners), a tea guide with English speaking skill is quite important.
it's important for viewers to know that this area grows low-altitude tea only. none of this low altitute tea is consumed locally but rather all low altitude tea is exported. in Taiwan we only drink high mountain tea. that distinction was not made in the video. the tea that Andrew enjoyed was not from Pinglin.
