早安,你今天 Q 了嗎?
一起來認識台灣美食的獨特口感
🇹🇼 In Italy, ‘Al Dente’ Is Prized. In Taiwan, It’s All About Food That’s ‘Q.’
台灣美食為什麼那麼「Q」?
🍭 NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — As dusk falls at Lehua Night Market, the fluorescent lights flicker on and the hungry customers start trickling in, anxious for a taste of the local delicacies that give this island its reputation as one of Asia’s finest culinary capitals. Neatly arranged pyramids of plump fish balls. Bowls brimming with tapioca balls bathed in lightly sweetened syrup. Sizzling oyster omelets, hot off the griddle. Deep-fried sweet potato puffs, still dripping with oil.
台灣新北市——隨著夜幕降臨樂華夜市,燈光亮起,飢腸轆轆的客人們三三兩兩來到這裡,急於品嚐讓這個島嶼享有亞洲最佳美食之城的當地美食。整齊排成小山的飽滿魚丸。一碗碗涼圓,淋著略帶甜味的糖漿。剛從鐵板上下來,滋滋作響的蚵仔煎。還滴著熱油的炸地瓜球。
-fluorescent: 發出螢光的
-trickle in: 三三兩兩地抵達
-reputation: 名聲
-culinary: 烹飪的
-griddle: 鐵板、煎鍋
-deep-fried: 油炸的
🍡 Take a bite of any of these dishes and you’ll discover a unique texture. But how exactly do you describe that perfectly calibrated “mouth feel” so sought after by local cooks and eaters alike?
Slippery? Chewy? Globby? Not exactly the most flattering adjectives in the culinary world.
Luckily, the Taiwanese have a word for this texture. Well, actually, it’s not a word, it’s a letter — one that even non-Chinese speakers can pronounce.
It’s “Q.”
隨便嘗一口這些小吃,你都會發現它們別具風味。但你該如何形容那種經過精心調配,令當地廚師和食客們趨之若鶩的「口感」呢?
滑溜?有嚼勁?黏稠?這些可算不上是美食界最好聽的形容。
幸運的是,台灣人有一個詞來形容這種口感。其實,這稱不上是個詞語,而是一個字母——就連不講中文的人也能說出它。
那就是「Q」。
-texture: 口感、質地、韻味
-calibrate: 校準、調整、調配
-be sought after: 趨之若鶩
-chewy: 有嚼勁的
🥤 “It’s difficult to explain what Q means exactly,” said Liu Yen-ling, a manager at Chun Shui Tang, a popular teahouse chain that claims to have invented tapioca milk tea in Taiwan. “Basically it means springy, soft, elastic.”
Q texture is to Taiwanese what umami is to Japanese and al dente is to Italians — that is, cherished and essential. Around Taiwan, the letter Q can often be glimpsed amid a jumble of Chinese characters on shop signs and food packages and in convenience stores and advertisements.
「很難解釋Q到底是什麼意思,」人氣連鎖茶飲品牌、號稱台灣珍珠奶茶發明者的春水堂的經理劉葉玲說。「基本上,它是彈牙、軟糯的意思。」
「Q」的口感之於台灣人,就等於「umami」(鮮)之於日本人,「al dente」(有嚼勁)之於義大利人——備受珍視,也必不可少。在台灣各地,可以在店鋪招牌和便利店、廣告的食物包裝中的一堆中文字裡瞥見「Q」這個字母。
-tapioca milk tea: 珍珠奶茶
-springy: 有彈性的、彈牙的
-umami: 鮮味
-al dente: 彈牙、有嚼勁
-glimpse: 瞥見
你知道用「Q」形容食物是台灣獨創嗎?

Wondering what these violet-colored cupcakes are? 🍮🧁🍠💜💜💜They are actually known as the Ube Leche Flan Cupcakes, all made with love by the talented baker behind @sweetbakes_bytrixie. Trixie has successfully recreated her version of @cafe_86’s ( a Filipino Cafe in Pasadena, California) famous Ube Flan cupcakes and they taste as good as it looks! If you have a sweet tooth, this may be the perfect treat for you. Personally think that this could be a little too sweet for my liking but the winning combination of the flan & cupcake kept me wanting more, so I guess it’s still a YAY for me? 💜🤣The texture of flan was smooth & creamy, not forgetting the cupcakes that were moist & soft too :) You’ve nailed this for sure!
To further elaborate, it’s like eating two desserts at once because you get to taste both the flan & ube cupcakes at the same time. Also if you are wondering, the Leche Flan is actually a well-known Filipino dessert made with only egg yolks, milk, sugar and vanilla extract - and it’s basically the Filipino version of creme caramel. They are very similar & look exactly the same. When you put together both ube and leche flan, you will be able to witness the formation of a mouthwatering marriage lol 🤩
It’s my first time seeing and tasting this cupcake because ube desserts are certainly not common in Malaysia. In fact we rarely see the feature of this bright purple bestie across the grids of our feed, so kudos to Trixie for introducing us to this wonderful creation. Thanks for making it happen!
Ohhh, for those that are still reading and if you’ve lost me in the beginning, just so you know the gorgeous hue you see from the cupcake actually comes from this magical tuberous vegetable called ‘Ube’ (it’s pronounced as Ooh-Beh/Bae). And what they usually do with Ube is to make Ube Halaya/ Halayang Ube (Boiled & Mashed purple yam which serves as the main base for ube-flavoured pastries or even ice cream).
Ube sounds similar to how we pronounce Potato in Bahasa (“Ubi) actually but do take note they don’t taste the same, haha!

Hosted #HeloDoktor live episode with @hawarizwana at @tv3malaysia last Sunday! (Check out my Instagram for tiny sneak peeks! XD)
Not gonna lie, I was actually quite nervous on set as I only had such limited time to prepare since I was working the whole week. It’s a challenge trying to balance the life as a full-time dentist BUT I’ve always believe that life IS about doing things out of your comfort zone.
Hosting in a language I’m not fluent in?
(The team have to teach me to pronounce a word as simple as “Keluarga” so that I sound more natural😂)
Trying my best to stay calm in front of the cameras as the live session can’t afford retakes or edit?
It’s not something that I’m used to....I was trained to talk & treat one-to-one in my clinic!😂
•
But isn’t that exciting?
Doing things that you’re not used to, and slowly transforming it into a norm. Pushing yourself to grow and grow. This way, you can ONLY get better.
By constantly doing things you’re not comfortable with, that’s how you know you’re REALLY challenging yourself and expanding your potential.
So do something that you’re “not comfortable with” today. I assure you, the future you will look back and glad that you had the courage to do something different in life!🤗

What an absolute dream! I'm beyond words. Thank you all for this! I couldn't have gotten this without your support, encouragement and friendship. Apart from showing you the Silver Play Button, the rest of this video talks about the future of my channel, how to actually pronounce Botes, and answering your questions of "how can I join the polyglot community?".
Here's my last vlog from #PolyglotConference 2019 in Fukuoka, Japan. I gave my speech that day, but the full speech will be uploaded on the Polyglot Conference channel on YouTube later. Enjoy some snippets from the event! Btw, it seems lots of people are asking if they can join this event if they're not a polyglot - of course you can! The conference is open to anyone interested in languages. We're all still learning and it's a great way for us to get together and share our love of languages.

This video is about some tips that I find really helpful for you about how to not care about what people think of you. The fear and obsession about what people think of you sometimes can become serious and hold you back from doing what you really want. So as long as you know how to not care about what people think of you, you would be able to have a carefree life and reclaim your freedom to do what you want. Hey, it;s ok to not give a fuck. We only have one life, and giving a damn or caring too much about what people think would be the least meaningful way to spend it. So enjoy this video, to start remind yourself about how to not care about what people think of you. How to stop caring what people think of you turns out to be not that hard. I have tips but actually all of them are about self loving. Yes, you when you know how to love yourself, then you'll automatically know how to not care about what people think of you and how to not give a damn about what they say.
