Next, the vlog takes us to a bustling street food scene where TriFate Lifestyle samples a variety of bao buns, each with its own unique flavor profile. They highlight the friendly and helpful nature of the vendors, who patiently explain the ingredients of each dish. The pumpkin-flavored bao bun is a standout, described as surprisingly savory and delicious, defying expectations.
The vlog then shifts to a more unexpected adventure. TriFate Lifestyle's planned trip to the Taipei Zoo is thwarted by unexpected heavy rain. This unplanned detour leads them to the Taipei 101 tower, where they explore the massive food court and encounter a unique shopping experience.

Despite the zoo mishap, the vlog maintains a positive and engaging tone.
