Taiwanese vs. Vietnamese food

I always find it funny when people who complain about Taiwan say nice things about Vietnam, when it is clear as day that Vietnam is practically everything bad about Taiwan dialed up to 110 (out of 10).

Show me where in Taiwan I can find Hoi An or Sapa?

Or a mango salad.

Or good banmi. (Ok we got the banmi I guess)

I’ve tried a few tailors in Taiwan, none was good enough for a second visit. Instead I’m waiting for a trip to… Vietnam

I believe, though, that the traffic and pollution there are worse. Have never been, myself, but seems totally believable

And really, food and traffic are my primary complaints about Taiwan. Much more to like here than dislike

Of course it’s popular all over the world. There are a ton of Vietnamese immigrants everywhere but few Taiwanese immigrants.

When I went to Hanoi I had my first proper banmi. It was sublime, and only 50NT. I also went to a French restaurant that in my opinion was two star Michelin. It was very cheap.

Loved the city, although the traffic is nucking futs. Walking across a pedestrian crossing drivers will push forward to the point where they’re nudging your legs. I didn’t particularly notice air pollution.

Egg coffee is interesting

It also helps that they have a world-class cuisine.

You guys should reflect on what you have in common besides hating Taiwanese food. There is probably a lot and it’s not cute.

I quite like some Taiwanese dishes, if that counts for anything.

I “quite” like some Taiwanese dishes, too, but if I had to choose between them and stuff from other countries, there’s just no competition. I’ve never eaten any FAMOUS Taiwanese food that blows me away.
