EP09 Keelung City | Tang Monk's Origin Story

Before Tang Monk takes his first step west, we need to understand where he came from. In this episode the Bao Island bus heads north to Keelung — a port city carved between steep green hills and the sea. Over Keelung tempura eaten standing at the famous Miaokou Night Market, a generously stacked nutritious sandwich, and a scoop of colourful bubble ice, we discover the remarkable origin of Tang Monk: a scholar father, a treacherous boatman, a mother who floated her baby to safety on a wooden board, and a son who waited twenty years to set things right.Location: Keelung CityFood: Keelung Tempura | Nutritious Sandwich | Bubble Ice
