South Korean YouTuber lixian (小賢), who has been residing in Taiwan for nearly eight years, chose to study in Taiwan because of the following two main reasons. His cousin was furthering her studies in Taiwan, and he also believed that learning the Chinese language would increase one’s competitive edge in the future. Besides, lixian also created a YouTube Channel “小賢 리시엔 lixian”, sharing information about travel, food, and cultural differences between Taiwan and Korea.

Lixian then bought a traditional Chinese pastry at Hoshing (合興糕糰店), a well-established store that has been set up for 70 years and passed down for three generations. She had a taste of the osmanthus rolls (桂花捲), which is a pastry made by rice milk and sweet-scented osmanthus, and the mung bean cake (綠豆糕), which is a pastry made with mung beans. Moreover, there are also red bean filling and cheese flavor rolls that are mouthwatering to her.
