74. 去早市買菜 Shopping at a Traditional Market

In this episode, I talk about my experience and the benefits of shopping at a traditional market in Taiwan, and teach you some useful Taiwanese phrases for shopping. Also an update: After thinking about it for a while, I’ve decided to switch to an episode every two weeks. Producing an episode a week is really tiring, and I’m starting to burn out. I want to maintain quality and my sanity by making the adjustment. I talk about it in more detail at the end of the episode 🙂 聊聊我最近開始去早市買菜的經驗和想法、幾句買菜可以用的台語。還有以後節目的小調整。

Introduction Transcript 文字稿

Hello,歡迎收聽Talk Taiwanese Mandarin,我是Abby。

今天這集我想要跟大家分享一下,算是我最近改變的一個生活習慣。

其實以前我都不會做飯,大概是在幾年前才開始嘗試想要自己做飯。主要的原因是因為健康吧,覺得外食很方便、很便宜,但是就是要注意健康的問題。我覺得大部分的外食都沒有那麼健康,也是有健康的飲食。最近可能越來越流行這種健康飲食,但是大部分的外食還是沒有到非常的健康,反正這個是我有開始想要做菜的一個原因。

但是一直都是斷斷續續的吧,因為做菜我覺得不容易,蠻難的。我覺得我在這方面還蠻笨手笨腳的。然後我在這方面又比較隨性吧。例如這個食譜說:什麼材料要加多少,什麼醬要加多少。在這方面我都隨便加,結果做出來的樣子,就覺得:嗯,怎麼跟我想像或是食譜的圖片差那麼多。然後吃起來也覺得:我怎麼又做出這種黑暗料理?就是不好吃的東西。
