Our far flung adventure of this first season is Eddie's homeland Taiwan. It is a country with a complex cultural blend embedded in its history that has afforded it a character unique to any other place in the world.
In the first of three Fresh Off the Boat: Taiwan episodes, Eddie gets hopped up on betel nut, gives a survey of his favorite delicacies at Shilin night market, and goes late night fishing at a shrimping dive.
We found ourselves in some interesting scenarios, to say the least, but they all serve to highlight an endearing sense of humor that pulsates through Taiwanese culture. If there's one thing we came away with, it was that Taiwan knows how to have fun.

In the second episode of our Taiwanese adventure, Eddie trips down to the Southern tip of the country to vibe with its burgeoning surf culture. He parties on the beach, almost gets eaten by the ocean, and then kicks back with some kiwi before heading back to Taipei.
The family edition of Fresh off the Boat brings you father-son hang time with Eddie and his dad in Taipei. The Huang men catch up over the most meticulously crafted dumplings in the world, and pay visit to Eddie's grandpa's resting place in Yang Ming Shan.
