I think this is the best spent 69NT you can possibly do.

What else can you get it for 69NT at 7-Eleven?

Milk tea and toothpaste.

For me, this looks really good.

It would be perfect if we had chopsticks, right?

Yeah.

I was thinking how to eat it.

Take two.

Three years ago, I recorded an interview with Kou that went something like this.

I have never had taro.

Like, I don't know what it is.

You insult Taiwanese culture.

Taro is the purple thing that is next to the diguachos, right?

No, no, that is purple sweet potato.

Oh.

Doesn't taste like taro.

Then I don't even know what taro is.

Yeah, you got a taro there in the background.

Is that a taro tree?

Yeah, like a taro, like a potato, so it grows in the earth.

But although that was three years ago, I still have not had a taro here in Taiwan, and it seems like Kou has not forgotten about that as well, since he did send me all his brand new products that will be available in 7-Eleven here in Taiwan starting today.

We have everything from taro pork rib noodles to some taro burritos, taro Danish pastry, and also some taro tarts as well.

There are a lot of different taro products and a lot of food in general, so I think that I will need some expertise assistance in order to introduce all these products to you.

So, here we have Yuen Yuen and Omi to help me trying to figure out what this taro frenzy is all about.

Hopefully, no introduction needed.

You have both seen Yuen Yuen's channel and me and Omi's video previously here on his channel, I hope.

Yuen Yuen, your relationship with taro.

My relationship with taro.

I actually have sometimes those Danish taro pastries in the morning for breakfast.

Usually, it's also in the hot pot.

In the hot pot, you have a couple of pieces of taro.

Oh, really?

Maybe that's why I've never had it, because if I see something in the hot pot that I don't recognize, I just automatically put it aside.

The first time I tried that was here in Taiwan.

So, since I tried it, I usually buy that one and then when I cook my food, I add it in the side with the vegetable.

Okay, but you had it before at least.

Yeah.

Okay, well, it seems like I'm the only one who has not tried this.

I think in order to ease us into this taro adventure, we're gonna start with some Danish bread with taro and custard.

Something that I know that the French is very familiar with and hopefully also the baker here in the middle as well.

Although it's called Danish pastries, Swedish people love Danish pastries.

As long as you don't call them Danish.

Cool.

Next time, let's call them Scandinavian pastries.

Like you don't even need to like open it in order to like see like all the taro.

So, I'm very excited.

It's gonna be like my first bite ever of taro.

Wow, very soft.

Super soft.

I just want to eat like the taro just to see like what the taro is.

It's so much.

Tastes like the sweetest sweet potato mashed potato I've ever had.

The sweetest sweet potato.

When you eat it like this, it feels like an equivalent of what you have a red bean dough that you spread on it.

It's a little bit sweet.

So, I think the taste is very pleasant and like for this for breakfast, to me, it's perfect.

But yeah, this is so much better than red beans.

It tastes like red beans but it's delicious.

Not a red bean fan over here.

No, I hate red beans.

Is this something that you could like start making in the night market and start selling?

Maybe I should think about it.

Yeah.

But for sure, if I'm tired of my own cinema roll, I know where to get this one.

Only 49 Taiwanese dollars for maybe what could be my new 7-Eleven breakfast choice actually.

Okay, next.

Pork rib taro noodle.

To me, this looks like pork ribs, which I love.

But here's actually like whole pieces of taro.

Is this how it grows?

I think it's pretty much the taro cut in a couple of pieces and put in here.

It's like huge pieces too.

For me, this looks really good.

It would be perfect if we had chopsticks, right?

Yeah.

I was thinking how to eat it.

Take two.

It tastes like the best red bean I've ever had.

This one is very soft, melts very fast.

It's actually quite different from the pastry we just had.

Yeah, because it's like a cream.

So I wasn't sure how much was like the cream custard and how much was like just pure taro.

Wow, this is really not bad.

I promise if I ever see taro ever again, I will not put it away in my hotpot.

In a rate of 1 to 10, how do you rate this?

I think this is a very nice dinner.

When you're busy, you have to stay home, you get something simple from 7-Eleven.

I think it's a good 7 or 8.

Same.

Maybe 9, 8 or 9.

Definitely, because compared to the price, what you get is a very good deal.

Only 99 NT.

It's very, very rare that I would buy lunch or dinner below 100 NT and be like satisfied, not feeling like I'm making a compromise.

Very nice.

Okay, now we're going to take a break in this recording.

Just to wait for Yunyun to finish eating up everything.

Little music of waiting time.

No, but it was like really good.

Yeah, it's like it's a lot of taro as well.

It's like massive pieces.

I'm not going to waste a drop of taro, guys.

Is this water you added yourself or it was in...

It was in there.

I was so surprised too.

I was like before, like to prepare for this video, I was like telling Minta, hey, I need your help because like I'm sure it's like you need to add water and stuff too.

Right.

But like the water wasn't in there before, you know?

It started, it jumped in as soon as you put it in the microwave.

It was so weird.

I was like really expecting that like, okay, now it's going to be like these like instant noodle packages, you know?

And then somehow, I was like, where's the water from a hot pot?

Yeah.

And then all of a sudden, I put it in the microwave and it just like appeared.

And again, like this is like you're supposed to eat it like at 7-Eleven basically.

So they will just like, boom, they will take care of everything for you.

But as if that was not enough, we actually have another taro rice noodle soup here as well.

Without pork ribs, but hopefully just as delicious taro.

This one actually came with water.

So I knew that this was going to be like more soup.

This has no pork ribs, but look at this, you know?

Like I feel like in this part, it's like the taro is the main dish.

And then you have like, you have the carrots, you have the glass noodles.

But this is more like a taro dish for me compared to like the pork ribs.

I can see more vegetable on this one.

Do you feel like the taro is very different?

These are hard and more firm.

Last one was a bit softer, right?

I think this one is closer to the real taro as you just chop it and put it.

The other one maybe was slightly processed to be a little bit more, not liquid, but like softer.

Both were delicious.

You're just very surprised that different kinds of taro filling.

You mean for the same ingredients, you can have so many ways to cook it and so many flavors.

That's amazing.

Me personally, I prefer the glass noodle.

To me, it's healthier than the other one.

I'm going to totally finish both.

Okay.

To me, if that one was 9 or 8 and this one is 6.

Okay.

But not bad at all.

Sometimes maybe I try this one, sometimes I try that one.

Because I like the meat, more meat on that one.

But nothing wrong with this one too.

I like this one as well.

The previous one, the soup was a little bit more flavorful.

There was more flavor.

This one has a little bit less.

And I like spicy food.

So for me, I would add a little bit of like spice, pepper.

And I think that would be perfect.

As soon as Yunyun has finished this bowl here, I think we're going to move over to some other kinds of taro burritos here as well.

Wow.

I start to wonder if I didn't make a mistake because I'm getting full now.

And now, not last, but also not least, we have the pork floss taro burrito, which just by looking at all these different dishes, I think would be my favorite.

Because I always go for the burritos when I go at 7-Eleven.

I have to say they look very nice.

Taro and pork floss burrito.

Wow.

I can say this one is my favorite.

First bite already.

Wow.

I love the flavor.

I can say that.

I love it.

It's incredible how many different types of dish they can make all using taro.

Might have some cheese in the middle too.

Yeah.

This one's really good.

Yeah.

Definitely I'm going to buy this one when they have it.

Something you order in a restaurant and you pay, I can say maybe 300 something or 200 something for this one.

I like it.

I never had something like that.

Taro, cheese is very, to me, it's very unique.

It tastes like melted taro as well, right?

Yes.

It's like we've had mashed taro.

We've had potato style taro.

And this tastes like melted taro with cheese.

It doesn't taste like pork floss though, but it tastes like...

Jesus Christ.

Where is your burrito?

Didn't you just...

Because it's delicious.

So I can take that.

Wow.

Oh my God.

I'm sorry to say you cannot have this one because I'll need it for b-roll later.

Otherwise, if you stay after we're finished recording, I can give you this one as well.

But I need to record some very nice looking b-roll first. 69NT.

I think this is the best spent 69NT you can possibly do.

What else can you get for 69NT at 7-Eleven?

Milk tea and...

Toothpaste.

What is this?

Is it...

So this is the taro, the yellow thing.

No, I think that was the cheese.

This is the taro?

Yeah, this is the taro.

Oh, that's the taro.

Yes.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, it makes sense.

I don't know how much this is because of KU and how much this is because of 7-Eleven, but someone has made a really damn good job with these burritos.

I give 10 out of 10 for this one.

I would even go as far as saying, normally, every time I go to 7-Eleven, I buy the blueberry bagels that I might go to for like breakfast and stuff.

This, especially if I want something warm, would be like my number one purchase.

Holy crap.

I like soft.

I don't like something dry.

This is exactly what I like.

It's very soft, easy to eat.

It's like even, yeah, for older people, even if you want something, just go down easily, you know?

You don't even need teeth.

Yeah, we got a winner for sure.

It's amazing.

Well, we don't know if we have a winner yet because we're not done yet.

There are even more things to check out.

More?

So I think it's time for the final product, which is the taro tart.

The taro rose tart with mochi as well somewhere inside here.

So well packed.

It's so nice.

It's like the perfect like gift as well.

If you're running late and you have like, you're going to meet some friends or something, just like go into 7-Eleven, buy some of these, and they will think that you've been to like an actual bakery getting some like very nice looking tarts.
