Is this thing you call Mandarin, well, do you know that only the duck and the citrus fruit are Mandarin? There is a dialect, though. It is called Putonghua. Lowai mistakenly call Putonghua Mandarin. You ain't doing the same, are you?
🤣小土豆?! OMG, but that’s also remind me of the first time I ever gone to Haerbin. Yup definitely, I was in red buffing winter coat. While my friends who are local just went with grey and black coat.
Love your videos Amy but they always make me so hungry! It's so nice how you make friends with literally everyone you meet when you travel places. It makes such a difference to see you chatting away with locals and owners, really makes it feel like I'm truly getting an insight in to the authentic side of each place's cuisine
omg I would live at that 2nd place! So glad you went even though it only had 8 reviews. That lady was so adorable and the food looked amazing. It reminds me a lot of korean bbq. I eat perilla leaves every week they are so good 😋
Actually, because potatoes were imported into China back in the time, it’s called “YangYu洋芋”, “Yang洋” means foreign, literally means “foreign taro”. While potato also has a name “TuDou土豆”, literally means “beans from the earth”(potatoes used to be really small), but “土”also has a meaning of “local”. So, “TuDou土豆” stands for Chinese (local) and “YangYu洋芋” stands for foreigners😂😂
Cannot believe you visited my hometown Qiqihar and even brought Xingyue with you. I would say Qiqihar has nothing better compares to Harbin but we do have the BEST BBQ on grille in China for sure lol.
Damn, your video is too short! Both of you are so fun together, Xingyue always cracks me up LOL and your videos are always interesting and informative. Looking forward to more future collaborations together! :D
Many restaurants offering top-notch service and cuisine in China get drowned out by the crowd of establishments paying for traffic through fake reviews due to the algorithms of traditional rating apps. However, with the emergence of new apps like Xiaohongshu in recent years, there has been a counterbalance to the traditional rating software. Moreover, many locals frequent these restaurants but seldom use these rating apps. I'm glad that Amy and Xingyue stuck to your opinions and visited this exceptional restaurant! Looking forward to your next video.❤
Wow finally Qiqihar! My home town. Every time when I am back home I will have numerous Qiqihar bbq🎉. After trying many bbq in European countries, Middle Eastern countries and many provinces of China, I find that the Qiqihar style bbq (sliced beef bbq on plates) is the best!
I am in love with this channel... meat, meat, meat 😆😆 Fat is fat, but it is so delicious (to consume with moderation). To be honest, i love vegetables too. Ok, I am going to prepare a Beef Bourguignon (carrot, leek, olive, tomatoes, big chunks of beef with bone and fat and French wine) for dinner 🤪 My dream is to have a trip in China with my entire family and try all these foods. 🤩
Love that you gave a lesser known restaurant a chance. Also love that you ladies are not afraid of fat and have good appetites. I did not realize perilla leaves were eaten outside of Korea.
Having Sauce / Gravey with rice is such an Asian thing. When I was much younger, I could easily have 1 bowl of rice per dish simply having Sauce / Gravey mixed into the rice.
Except of 6 months of freezing winter, it's not a bad place to live. Also, if it's not Harbin, or Shenyang, it's super boring. Another thing, it's very polluted. Food is the best by far, people are friendly and hospitable, and the prices are not high
@@laurayu3076understand but I’m wondering if the concept of eating around a grill is an original Chinese concept that extended from hotpot or if it’s a recent concept maybe imported from korean bbq
@@dlk3904 I mean bbq with a grill is probably one of the oldest most common way of cooking meat. you probably have to trace back hundreds if not thousands of years. each region does it alittle differently. bbq in china has longgg history, def did not import from kbbq
@@laurayu3076Yes I'm aware grilling is a primitive and widespread method of cooking. Chuan is probably the first method of cooking meat. But for the love of God, for the third time, I was asking about the dining concept of bringing a grill indoors, in the middle of your own dining table, and cooking the meat yourself as you eat. This doesn't exist except in Asia. IN YOUR OPINION AS A NATIVE, DID THIS ORIGINATE IN DONGBEI OR NOT OR DO YOU NOT KNOW?
Wow,your friend is so cute and funny but damn,didn't realise she can speak such excellent Mandarin! Btw,this is so interesting and informative,had no idea this part of China produces such excellent beef until now. You can tell just by looking at the deep almost black colour of that beef with the fat that it's top notch,and that chef knows just like any top steak houses worldwide that with such excellent beef no seasoning is required, just a little salt and pepper. How come the foodie world hasn't heard of this? Forget your exorbitantly priced Wagyu and Kobe beef,just get this for a fraction of the price but just as tasty!😂
because dongbei is close to north korea, it's the culture in that region. Veggies don't grew well in the cold, so it's mainly pickled veg and meat. People enjoy huddling around a heated barbeque . It's climate influencing cuisine
I recommend you to travel to Yixing and Nanshan Bamboo Sea in Zhejiang. The bamboo forest scenery there is also very good. There are also high-altitude cable cars, panda bases, ancient towns, and ancient villages that you can experience.
I love seeing how geography and culture impact food. This food has bits of things I associate with Russia, Korea, and of course China and it makes sense from a geographic sense how all those influence each other to create this cuisine! So cool to see!
*I've got a cousin* by marriage who *looks just like* 星悦 PKU *Lila!* Although she's French Canadian and has darker hair and more of an olive-"orange" complexion ... But basically the exact same facial shape and body type!
The begining of the video is literally the downstairs of my mother-in-law's home😂 we really miss 齐齐哈尔芭比Q！！ It's not only about the seasoning, the quality of the beef is sooo good, it always comes with a butter flavor!
i subscribed bc you said it would mean the world to you :) what a great episode. Two beautiful white girls exploring china with class and courage. Man, you guys are living life.
thank u for supporting small local business
In DongBei restaurant, if they tell you "Small" it is big, "Big", it is super big.
The owner from the 2nd restaurant is so sweet! Glad you went there instead of the other one! ❤
What IS this collab??! Amy AND Xingyue?! Am I in heaven??!
omg thank you for taking me on the best beef adventure bb!!!!!!!! I'm still dreaming of beef slices, tom nook leaves, soul sauce and sweet aunties 😍
🥰
Xingyue's mandarin pronunciation is incredibly on point.
yeah her Chinese is always good
为什么我觉得她好像英文不太会说了哈哈哈
@@zzacc1850 哈哈哈 我也发现了 哈哈哈

Just got up and already greeted by Amy and Xingyue! Brightens up my whole day!
Wow, ! So cool! Haven’t see Xingyue on TH-cam for so long! Nice to see you two together travelling
Amy you're a "imported potato"?! LOL 😆. You're very funny 🤣.
That word "xiao yangyu" literally meas foreign potato
Actually, because potatoes were imported into China back in the time, it’s called “YangYu洋芋”, “Yang洋” means foreign, literally means “foreign taro”.

Please have Xingyue back soon! She's so entertaining.
Same here in Japan, beef from Hokkaido is more prized because it's from colder / northernmost area.
Xingyue sure knows her way around r.e the taxi “colab” with the restaurant. You two make a wonderful duo!
This channel, Xingyue' channel and 歪果仁研究协会, always put a smile on my face.
Cannot believe you visited my hometown Qiqihar and even brought Xingyue with you. I would say Qiqihar has nothing better compares to Harbin but we do have the BEST BBQ on grille in China for sure lol.
Two cutest blondes in China and their hair must be original.
ur videos are great, I hope you will update them more often Thanks :D
So cool you did one with Xingyue! Great video!
有星悦给你导航真不错，她已经成是的小油条了，很多出租司机的话外之音都明白，真牛
9:15 So don't go to the place recommended by the driver, it's unpalatable and very expensive, and it's not cost-effective
this was such a great video!! loved your friend she was so funny and the way you guys both talk about food to each other was great
Thank you Amy so much for the very nice video!
Damn, your video is too short! Both of you are so fun together, Xingyue always cracks me up LOL and your videos are always interesting and informative. Looking forward to more future collaborations together! :D
Omg please collab with Xingyue again!! This was such a sweet ep
I am really impressed by Xingyue’ Chinese🎉

I’m so happy to see you two in one video! Hoping for more in the future. ❤ from nyc!
One of the best combination of youtuber so far
Very interesting and informative videos! I always enjoy your content and learn a lot of new things. Thank you.
hahaha my chinese is getting pretty good! As soon as Lila said "Xiao Tu Dou" I bursted out laughing XD
Nice... Very informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
You can really see the Korean food influence (or vice verse) in Dongbei! Yum, looks soooo good!
Love both of you!
that evening shaokao place looked so delicious. I'm going to be dreaming about beef and pickled cabbage
I love the vibe of this episode! 😘
It's too short🤔are you going to make another video together?
thats so cute haha and i love the pink coat among the black ones 🌸🎀
Wow finally Qiqihar! My home town. Every time when I am back home I will have numerous Qiqihar bbq🎉. After trying many bbq in European countries, Middle Eastern countries and many provinces of China, I find that the Qiqihar style bbq (sliced beef bbq on plates) is the best!
People from southern China called little potatoes?! LOL 😆. That funny.
... by Dongbei people. We apparently don't call ourselves little potatoes!
@@maxyang7919 well some people dont really like the name... but most people find it cute
New guest is awesome 😎 we need to see more of her please! Double blonde bombers !!
Amy your skin is glowinggg YAAS SIS
Love the energies.. just discovered your channel today and I'll going explore more 😁
小洋芋is a nice pun 😁Great video as always Amy!
First time heard of this capital in China. Thanks for bringing us there 😊
Love your videos!
Thank you for coming to my hometown, thank you for introducing Qiqihaer BBQ to the world.
Welcome to GUANGDONG ，Chaoshan area。
there have best beef hotpot and lots of delicious food。
I am in love with this channel... meat, meat, meat 😆😆
Fat is fat, but it is so delicious (to consume with moderation).

Great of you to help out the “little guy”, hopefully they get a ton of customers now!!! Well done, help the small local establishments!!!!
As a guy from Qiqihar, really appreciate this video.❤❤
Nice to see Dongbei food. My father in law was born in Mudanjiang, heilongjiang province.
Having Sauce / Gravey with rice is such an Asian thing. When I was much younger, I could easily have 1 bowl of rice per dish simply having Sauce / Gravey mixed into the rice.
Agree, plain rice with some good sauce. No need anything else. Yum!
Reminiscent that we were once poor and little simple things in life was so precious, back then.
13:56 xingyue goes "i like the one from....eh....zhongwu" funny and cute.
Dongbei has fertile land and rich products. It is a good place to live.
Except of 6 months of freezing winter, it's not a bad place to live. Also, if it's not Harbin, or Shenyang, it's super boring. Another thing, it's very polluted. Food is the best by far, people are friendly and hospitable, and the prices are not high
It's too cold in winter. Elder people may get stroke easily when they go from indoor to outside due to the temperature difference.
Except winter😂Even in liaoning,the winter is so cold.
an immediate LIKE after the appearance of xingyue
You are so lucky to be in China and mixing with the best people such as the Ychina Crew
那一大碗的其实不是土豆泥，东北话叫茄子孬土豆(孬nao一声，东北话动词，把食物炖的软烂而难以分辨原来的样子），就是用东北大酱配以茄子土豆炖成一种融合的状态。像其他东北菜一样其貌不扬但是是绝对的米饭杀手。基本属于每家都会做的家常菜。
太好了，立馬去下廚房看看做法
Oh my god, I am so delighted to watch this series 😊
gotta love the collab between you two
Wow, perilla/ shiso leaf for wrapping grilled meats, something I didn't know I needed
OMG my hometown!! I was just there in December,, without a doubt the best BBQ and guobaorou you'll ever have!
did that influence korean bbq or the other way around?
@@dlk3904 two different types of bbq, different cuts, preparation, seasoning, sauce, etc.

That second spot with all the pickled veggies with beef bbq and the perilla leaf reminded me a lot of Korean spots

宜兴不在浙江，浙江竹林最美在安吉。
about you guys deal with the "taxi-scam" - SMOOTH😁👍👍👍
The guy came in to the restaurant. Right the way he said 小土豆. Can tell how hot that phrase is. Also, Xinyu is even more Chinese than Amy.😂
I love seeing how geography and culture impact food. This food has bits of things I associate with Russia, Korea, and of course China and it makes sense from a geographic sense how all those influence each other to create this cuisine! So cool to see!
I never regret randomly clicking onto an Amy video.
星悅的英文真好😂
I subbed. Great channel
*I've got a cousin* by marriage who *looks just like* 星悦 PKU *Lila!*
Although she's French Canadian and has darker hair and more of an olive-"orange" complexion ...
But basically the exact same facial shape and body type!
If I could give 100 thumbs up to genuine enjoyment of food I will! Keep traveling girls! This world is a vast place.
So many winter athletes in china came from here. Especially in ice skating related
XingYue always cracks me up. But man, I hope your video helps out that restaurant in Qiqiha'er . It looks absolutely amazing.
great video as always
Omg... Xingyue is so cute. And her mandarin is 👍 Already subscribed to her channel 🫰
Oh, the betrayal and hypocrisy, Xinyue! Carbs on Carbs is the breath of life!
LOL! Everything looks amazing. The comment about when they say big it means big and when they say small it means big is hilarious.
Thank you so much, have fun!
Do a video with Xingyue, like this it is an episode II 😊
The Beef dishes looks so delicious and yummy !❤❤❤
The begining of the video is literally the downstairs of my mother-in-law's home😂 we really miss 齐齐哈尔芭比Q！！ It's not only about the seasoning, the quality of the beef is sooo good, it always comes with a butter flavor!
Thanks for sharing.
Xingyue's command of Mandarin is excellent. Very sweet girl.
🎉最喜欢的两个网红🎉
wow clearly those people in the background at the start of the video aren't visiting southerners, the way they so gracefully glide across the ice
The way she talk was so adorable...she reminds me of Paris Hilton
the second restaurant feels like kbbq hahaaha chinese dongbei kimchi and tiebanshao
Much of Korean food and culture came from China.
Together they're so cute, as they are enjoying a lot of fun. Jiayou.
this collab is so cute!
When the meat is on a stick it just makes it better.
Dipping KFC fries into the mash and gravy is the only way to go. I love doing that too!
Xingyue is so Chinese, she's so local.
Xingyue is such a cutie. :)
I agree good meat is flavour enough. I often cook my meat plain and roasty like seared then slow cook. I let my boys add their own seasonings after.
i subscribed bc you said it would mean the world to you :) what a great episode. Two beautiful white girls exploring china with class and courage. Man, you guys are living life.
Where's our lovely Jasmine, Amy??
Blondie must be a big hit in N. China. The Children will say, 'look the snowwoman is alive'.
