Hey, i can tell u guys are very polite but a little bit introversive? But don't be nervous when you order food in restaurants, just relax and ask people for help, like recommendations. Chinese people generally are very tolerant and friendly. They will love to help u guys.
hI Naomi and Luke Thank you for your super videos. However, it would be nice if you could make some video in Xinjiang so that the Westerner ''haters'' that never been in China, will be dubanked by reality when watching the truth in your Xinjiang videos ----- Hope you will start videos in Xinjiang ...... Take care and best wishes to both
nah, Guangzhou cuisine is listed the bottom of all Chinese style cuisine. It's tasteless. Just like water cooked chicken with nothing and taste nothing
About 15 years ago, "whether to allow customers to bring their own drinks into restaurants" caused great controversy in China. The final result is that the customers won and continues to today. Nowadays, if a restaurant refuses the drinks brought by customers, it will quickly become the headlines and be boycotted.
As a native of Chengdu, Sichuan, I have watched all the videos of your visit to Chengdu. You have said a lot of compliments about Chengdu. Your videos are very well done and down to earth. Thank you very much. I really want to take you to taste authentic Sichuan food and visit surrounding attractions (Chengdu is actually more of a tourist transit point, and the scenery is all in the west)
Hi Luke and Neomi, glad you're enjoying your time in China. The sauce you put in the soup is actually vinegar. A lot of chinese people like dip their dumplings or wontons in vinegar. Next time you may just ask for a condiment dish or a small bowl. Put the vinegar or soy sauce or mix both together and dip your wontons or dumplings in it. Both styles of wonton you've ordered, in soup and in chili sauce, are popular in China. Fun fact, even though they are both actually wontons. In soup style, we would call it wonton(雲吞). But in sauce style, we would call it "Chao Shou" (抄手). That's actually stated at the name of the store you went to. I guess Chao Shou/wonton is their specialty.
"Chao Shou" is only used in Sichuan, even with soup. "Yun Tun" is used in more Southern Provinces like Guangdong, even though they look almost the same.
23:15 that was not soy sauce but dark vinegar. lol A lot of Chinese people like mixing in vinegar with dumpling or noodles. It adds a bit of a sour kick and it can somehow make the spices less spicy. Have some cold milk or yogurt. They can help alleviate the spicy and numbing sensation.
that dish you had was indeed tofu, they are called silken tofu. there are thousands of ways to make tofu, that one was just one of them, it was very tender and smooth, unlike the firm tofu you usually get in western countries.
Fake, there aren't so many developed places in China, and why is the restaurant logo in English? Isn't China using Chinese? This should be the United States or Australia😂
You would usually order white rice with the dishes you ordered. And that white jelly is tofu. Usually the round chewey jelly in milk Tea is made from tapioca flour.
There are thousands of kinds of delicious noodles in China, and everywhere you go, there are local noodles that are super delicious, and I look forward to your continued travel to other cities in China. Have a nice trip.
21:40 chop stick should be holding towards the upper end at 60 to 70% spot. The lower one rest on your middle finger and the upper one should be held by your thumb and index finger(by pinching). The thumb and index finger control the upper chop stick to move up and down to pick stuffs up. Chop stick operates like a tong while your hand holds the both pieces together. They always operate in a parallel manner, at no time forming an X. When picking stuffs up, your palm face upward usually gives a more stable result and very rare case your palm should face down unless you reach to grab stuffs far away. Moderate or light force should be use. If you're fighting it, it's wrong.
China's territory is the third largest in the world. There are many famous scenic spots, There are 56 ethnic groups in China. If you have the opportunity, you can travel to Xinjiang and Tibet. There are no restrictions on foreigners. Only those who have been there will know how sacred the snow-capped mountains and lakes are.Tibet is a holy land of Buddhism, with snow-capped mountains, lakes, and many rare animals. Sichuan Province is adjacent to Tibet Province. You can travel to Tibet, but be aware that the plateau is hypoxic, so it is best to take the high-speed train there.
Naomi & Luke, really glad you enjoyed the food, thanks for giving me such a detailed insight into how people try a completely new type of food. Life is a series of experiences, and you've enriched yours and mine by sharing what you feel, thank you!
The sauce you put into wanton soup is not soy sauce, it is vinegar. Usually we dip vinegar when we eat dumplings. Some people like to pour a little bit in noodles, it would build the flavor. You could also try “钟水饺”, it is a traditional brand of dumpling in Sichuan. Enjoy!😊
Wow, that's really cool! Chengdu is famous for its delicious food, and the coolest metro stations in China. It's definitely a really exciting experience! 🧡🤩👍👍
Dumplings and fried rice are always the best if you make them yourself! ! No rebuttal accepted!！By the way, what you are eating are Chaoshou, not dumplings
Welcome to beautiful Sichuan. I wonder how long you will stay in Sichuan? As a Sichuanese, I strongly recommend you to go to Leshan-Emeishan in Sichuan. There are the world-famous Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei, as well as more delicious food than Chengdu. Chengdu can be reached in an hour by express train; in addition, you can Go to Jiuzhaigou, the water and scenery there are so beautiful, it’s like a paradise on earth, and then you can go to Dujiangyan to see giant pandas.
The 'tofu' thing that you referred to was called '凉粉（Cold Jelly)' I suppose. It is made of green beans or rice soup and it is solidified via lime(a kind of edible chemical). If you did not taste any flavor of beans then it was probably made of rice, which is Chengdu special. Though I have lived in Chengdu for more than 20 years, I hardly see this dish sold in a whole chunk. Usually it is chopped into small cuboid like very thick noodles and mixed with the sauce.
Cue a little lesson, on the dinner table in most of western China, if there are two sauce-like condiment bottles. The taller one is usually vinegar and the shorter one is soy sauce. This is commonly known as "tall vinegar and short soy sauce".
Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine also has many non spicy dishes. There are 16 classic non spicy dishes, without any chili peppers, and the taste is equally outstanding. They just arrived in Chengdu and don't know how to order them.
Really enjoy your video and your open minded approach toward the local culture, authentic option, funny sweet cute expressions really makes the videos enjoyable ❤❤
gotta mix up those noodles. all the favoring is at the bottom. my guess is you probably got a slice of raw chili or the seeds. gotta pick those out when you see them as top garnishes. chili oil in itself is really not that spicy.
They have different textured levels of Tofu, I seen that wobbly version before in Australia. Most of the Tofu dishes I've had use the more solid version for stir fry and deep frying.
One reason why Chengdu is popular is that it is a core tourist transit city in southwestern China. Many tourists from coastal cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen choose to come to Chengdu first. In addition to the famous hot pot and pandas in Chengdu, there are also many first-class popular scenic spots, such as Wenshu Temple, Kuanzhai Alley, Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Panda Base, etc. These scenic spots are relatively dense in the urban area, and there are also many relatively small but distinctive places worth visiting (such as Dongjiao Memory). The total number of these scenic spots is actually quite large. After visiting these places, you can leave Chengdu and go to the surrounding areas. The famous tourist attractions are Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, Qingcheng Mountain, Mount Emei, Huanglong, Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area and so on. The second scenic spots will be more, and you can go further to Yunnan, Xizang, Xinjiang and other places. So Chengdu has become one of these tourism destinations
In China, cold food is most commonly consumed in the summer, but not in the winter. As you know, protein from tofu i.e. soybeans is healthier than that from meat. To be an attractive tourist destination in China, it has to be made of the following three beauties: Beautiful sceneries, beautiful/yummy food and beautiful people admixed over and over again, a case in point is the so-called 8D punk city of Chongqing.
it is Toufu, basically served raw with pickles and spices on top, of course there is no such thing as "raw" Toufu, because it has to be cooked to make it :)
In fact, I really recommend that you visit Hangzhou after your trip to Chengdu. It is the city that best represents the "Jiangnan" with a blend of the bustling and open atmosphere of Shanghai and a strong cultural atmosphere rooted in Chinese tradition. It was also the center of ancient Chinese culture, and many famous literary figures from Chinese history have left behind poems there (similar to Athens in Greece? I don't know).the scenery of Hangzhou is printed on the currency. But I suggest you come in spring or autumn (Mar. to May, Oct. to Dec.)
The most common mistake when using chopsticks, is holding it too low. Hold it higher towards the end for more leverage, especially for bigger/heavier objects. It will be much easier!
There are many types of tofu in China and the one you tried is one of them, the tender one, which is mostly just slightly cured soy milk. It’s commonly used in cold dishes seasoned with vinegar, chili and maybe soy sauce.
Glad to see you guys getting more in China in depth. Try to scan the QR at corner of the table, normally the menu will show in your phone, and you can order and pay directly without talking to anyone.
If you pay but want to add food halfway, just talk to the waiter directly. It doesn't matter. You only need to pay one extra time. Most restaurants are allowed.
That dumpling place is a chain store now but used to be a tiny shop in a residential alley, they are really great wontons. We used to have a same store in Sydney but closed down last year :(
I live near Tianfu Square and stumbled upon your video today. It was really interesting and relaxing. Tianfu Square is a major transfer station, and many of the food options in the underground plaza are quick meals for workers (similar to fast food). The red oil dumplings there are also my favorite lunch on weekdays XD. Have a great trip!
Your video has been viewed and liked by many people on the Chinese video platform (Bilibili). It was uploaded by a Chinese friend. I hope you continue to make beautiful videos!

9th video into the China series, the haters and trolls finally decided this is not CGI or AI generated clips as they start enquiring the steps involved in applying for a China tourist visa 😂
By the way, if you are worried about the HOT and SPICY dishes. you can tell the waitor to Reduce Chilly... “Can you make the dishes with only a little spicy flavor?”They are friendly and glad to adjust the taste😃Even we Chinese people from other provices often do this in Sichuan...
In China, we normally buy a drink from the special drinking ( like bubble teas) shop, and bring to the restaurant we gonna eat at. You can try some bubble/fruit teas ❤
I'm from Chengdu, Sichuan. The jelly-like tofu is called lactofu, and the one with bean sprouts is called cold noodles. I guess you can't eat Sichuan peppercorns. It's very numbing. In China, only Sichuan people like it in their diet. Add Sichuan peppercorns. Remember to ask the restaurant owner not to add Sichuan peppercorns next time you order. If he doesn’t understand English, you can use a translation software to tell him.
Rule of thumb, if the restaurant only sells a limited menu then it is specialized and usually good at making the limited items. Also, restaurants are a very competitive business in Asia so the prices are too competitive relative to the USA/Europe. Limited barriers to entry as it keeps prices down.
When you guys get to Shanghai, there's a place called "Jia Jia Tang Bao" on Huang He Road, near people's square. It's a little down to earth eatery, but is literally the best Shanghainese style dumpling in the world. It's a delicate style of dumpling which has soup inside, some people like to suck out the soup, then eat with some ginger and vinegar. Must try.
Dumplings are always a safe choice when you don't know what to order. In western China, especially in Sichuan province, the food is usually spicy. In eastern China, particularly in Shanghai, people tend to eat less spicy food.
It is heard that international friends call every food with flour outside and filling inside DUMPLINGS... Actually they have different names according to their shapes... What you eat in this video is Huntun(馄饨)... In Sichuan it is also called Chaoshou(抄手)... We also have Jiaozi(饺子) and Baozi(包子), etc... 😊😊If you want know more, ask a Chinese who can speak fluent English...
In a perfect world we don't have to love each other food, trandition, culture etc, but we can co-exsiting, cooperate, making the earth a better place for all of us.

And my butt clenched when you poured the vinegar in haha you should’ve translated first or at least smelled haha it’s for spicy wontons
I live near Tianfu Square and stumbled upon your video today. It was really interesting and relaxing. Tianfu Square is a major transfer station, and many of the food options in the underground plaza are quick meals for workers (similar to fast food). The red oil dumplings there are also my favorite lunch on weekdays XD. Have a great trip!
I am going to Chengdu in September and will definitely check out the food stalls under Tianfu Square, thanks for the video!😅👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Naomi's open-minded and kind personality reminds me of my mom ( i miss her so dearly😞)
That’s not soy sauce, it’s Sichuan vinegar 😂
Thank you ❤️
Your video has been viewed and liked by many people on the Chinese video platform (Bilibili). It was uploaded by a Chinese friend. I hope you continue to make beautiful videos!
can the benefits of those videoes be gain by them？It's seems they need more money to conduct more expensive subjects.

Cold noodles for the summer, without the hot soup base
I could eat dumplings and noodles forever 😄😄
Thanks!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
9th video into the China series, the haters and trolls finally decided this is not CGI or AI generated clips as they start enquiring the steps involved in applying for a China tourist visa 😂
You should seek help.
@@davidgmaloof You are beyond help
@@davidgmaloof Hi cia bot.
最开心的事，是看你俩尝东西！🥰🥰🥰
By the way, if you are worried about the HOT and SPICY dishes. you can tell the waitor to Reduce Chilly... “Can you make the dishes with only a little spicy flavor?”They are friendly and glad to adjust the taste😃Even we Chinese people from other provices often do this in Sichuan...
Nyam nyuam nyuaaamm bikin ngiler aja nih melihat brother and sister menyantap hidangang khas Chinese 👌👍👍
The ‘soy sauce’ is actually vinegar, and this ‘dumpling’ is called Chaoshou in Sichuan (but Huntun in most other provinces)😁
that is tofu, the special kind of fine-texture tofu.
In China, we normally buy a drink from the special drinking ( like bubble teas) shop, and bring to the restaurant we gonna eat at. You can try some bubble/fruit teas ❤
You can taste the local peaches in Chengdu, which are fresh on the market. It is recommended to buy them at Hema Fresh Supermarket or Fruit Shop.
I really admire the courage to try
I'm from Chengdu, Sichuan. The jelly-like tofu is called lactofu, and the one with bean sprouts is called cold noodles. I guess you can't eat Sichuan peppercorns. It's very numbing. In China, only Sichuan people like it in their diet. Add Sichuan peppercorns. Remember to ask the restaurant owner not to add Sichuan peppercorns next time you order. If he doesn’t understand English, you can use a translation software to tell him.
Rule of thumb, if the restaurant only sells a limited menu then it is specialized and usually good at making the limited items. Also, restaurants are a very competitive business in Asia so the prices are too competitive relative to the USA/Europe. Limited barriers to entry as it keeps prices down.
When you guys get to Shanghai, there's a place called "Jia Jia Tang Bao" on Huang He Road, near people's square. It's a little down to earth eatery, but is literally the best Shanghainese style dumpling in the world. It's a delicate style of dumpling which has soup inside, some people like to suck out the soup, then eat with some ginger and vinegar. Must try.
Thank you 🙏
Salivating the whole video🤤😍
that tofu looks so delicious
Yes, that milk tea has nata de coco in it
🙏🙏🙏
Nice.
I like relax travel.
Dumplings are always a safe choice when you don't know what to order. In western China, especially in Sichuan province, the food is usually spicy. In eastern China, particularly in Shanghai, people tend to eat less spicy food.
It is heard that international friends call every food with flour outside and filling inside DUMPLINGS... Actually they have different names according to their shapes... What you eat in this video is Huntun(馄饨)... In Sichuan it is also called Chaoshou(抄手)... We also have Jiaozi(饺子) and Baozi(包子), etc... 😊😊If you want know more, ask a Chinese who can speak fluent English...
You went on a trip to China and learned Chinese, which is great!
你们去了一次中国旅游,学会了中文,真棒!!!😁
Welcome to Guangzhou if you can. The food here is also delicious and not spicy. Morning tea is also a good experience.😊
This is cool stuff ❤
The tofu is called Silken tofu. Smooth texture compared to the other kind of tofus.
In a perfect world we don't have to love each other food, trandition, culture etc, but we can co-exsiting, cooperate, making the earth a better place for all of us.
