I think is a huge reason why she is attracting followers, is because she is so genuine and warm to people.
She isn’t a typical privileged foreigner who is judgmental when things are different from what they are used to. I could easily see how foreigners would fringe at sleeper train steps (complain it’s too hard to use) or dismiss the baked sweet potato selling car as unsanitary or weird.
Amy just embraces these different things and gets excited about discovering them. You can tell that she truly loves China, the food, and the people.
她很聪明。她不说的。但是当她选老公的时候，她选了最好的。
100%. she isn't one of those content creators that are looking for arguments or controversial things to "give an opinion about". she's respectful, and that alone gets her so much brownie points. and to make it better, she's genuinely excited and curious, and it shows through the screen and in person. heck if she's just faking it, im sure that taxi driver wouldn't have stopped in the middle of the road and literally took her to the street vendor. that's just so freaking wholesome. he treated her like a friend.
Indeed, Amy is a true-blue ambassador that embodies the best qualities of Aussies: sincerity, friendliness and a fair-dinkum (fair minded, a fair go) attitude.
@@EuroTravChannel 你这句话很难评。倒像是吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸。
You can tell by her is that she is deeply in love with the culture. Her mandarin is incredibly fluent at almost native or even native. She takes her time to learn the language and live like a local.
Many foreigners in China are just there to make a quick buck, exploit the cheaper cost of living or worst get a wife because it's much easier to get one than in their home countries. Though to think about it, it does happen to all 3rd world countries.
Queen of Australia, queen of trying every food in China, queen of food vlogging, queen of being engaged, queen of being entertaining and cool and nice

哈哈哈哈
That boss mixing his noodle batter with a DRILL is everything
I just love how you instantly connect with strangers, it makes my soul happy! (My social anxiety could never! 😅) Great and interesting content as always! 😊
Right?? She always seem to make friends everywhere she goes! I think its her bright and bubbly energy
I was same like you, or still having this social anxiety, but there was once I tried to have a break and take a look at if anybody around really cared about what I might look like or what I was doing, and guess what, nobody cares! nobody was looking at me in the way I might have imagined!
Yes, we should know that we are not that important as we ourselves might see it. People are all minding their own business, and they don't give a shit about other total strangers at all. In fact, if you ask them to take more look at us, they are gonna be like who the fuck are you😂
THIS!!! I was trying to come up with the words so I thank you for voicing it perfectly. I wish I could be so outgoing and I love how she gave the driver her continued business and how absolutely open she is to trying absolutely whatever the locals say is the best. I feel like, at least where I'm from, we don't really do that we're so disconnected a lot of the time but I see so much of this in other cultures and it makes me a little envious that this kind of comfort exists.
I would say it is way easier in china than in other countries, and especially when you are a foreigner ! People are just way more open to talk, and talkative too, especially when it is about food lol
A unique fusion of psychological mentalism, hypnotism, misdirection * and showmanship ; )
More seriously, reaction is an echo or reflection and will tend to mirror what one gives out.
That, and lots of great, healthy food.
* : change the subject to food : )
Amy is definitely confident in her noodle eating abilities to seemingly always wear white clothes when eating noodles especially ones with a ton of chilli oil.
Definitely very local experience. The accent of the driver and the restaurant owner so strong even as a chinese I can’t understand
I don’t even speak mandarin and I noticed that strong accent 😅
Well, I grew up in Xian, I sometimes have hard times to understand bc of their strong accent
OK this is official: I declare that from this moment, Amy is more Chinese than me - a Chinese born and raised in China. 🤣
Thanks for visiting lesser known places in China and giving us a window to this world.
So interesting. Sale of the ancient instant noodles should go up
Surprises in trip are the best.
I love living here in China and tasting all the great food every day 😋❤️
Just how fast China grows. Omg ,even in small district their public transportation are insane!
the driver really warms my heart!
Interestingly enough, the modern instant noodles are also cooked twice. I'm surprised no one has commercialized it as the ancient instant noodles. Amy, business oppportunity. Derik, that's what you're getting for the rest of your adult life.
capitalism was a chinese thing!
totally agree, i've lived in Xi'an for 4 year. i've never heard of it
@@herbertliu4022没事，重庆人很多也不知道云阳绿豆粉……不过有一说一，重庆主城开车到云阳的时间比到成都还久😂
Please don’t encourage another foreigner from profiting off our Chinese culture
Derk deserves the promotion to Noodle Approver! He has passed the noodle test!
👍👍👍 Amy, you never disapoint us audience.
OMG, as a Chinese from Shandong I dont even know such thing exists in China 🤯🤯🤯! thank you Amy for sharing this， im definitely going to try this in the near future
在中国油炸面条成为方便面。
油炸头发丝面条叫油炸线面。
油炸筷子粗的面条叫撒子。
油炸拇指粗的面条叫麻花。
油炸手臂粗的面条叫油条。
这些都是家常食品。
从未想过的总结思路
The Chinese and Italians have so many types and shapes of noodles. My favorite recently is the wide Chinese kind sliced with a knife.
Thank you very much for your journey of food adventure， most Chinese people have never heard of Xuemian or even the small town Heyang. You are a qualified promoter of Chinese food culture.😀
Another delightful upload from Amy. I hope I can try these noodles myself one day. Actually, I'd eat just about anything if I were in China.
I'll be sure to never get a bunk in a sleeper car like that though; nobody would be sleeping because of my snoring and I even surprise myself at times when I listen to my snoring the sleep app I use records. 😂
Derk for official noodle approver, he's got my nomination!
@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst Have you considered getting a sleep study done? I never thought I needed one but I found out I stopped breathing something like 48 times in an hour! Explains why I was always so tired. Please consider it, poor sleep has a huge impact on our health.
Your taxi driver was very sweet and wholesome
He went far and beyond he needed to go.
He was like "someone has finally found my hometown" and he was so proud to share his experience.
Not only never heard of the noodle, never heard of the place either! Another fascinating video!
I love that your cabdriver stopped so you could have a potato!
That driver is so cute
Just like those noodles our love for this awesome channel was instant! :D
I feel big happiness when a new video is up ☺️💗
我是青海的，我来列一下青海小吃吧，酿皮，梗皮，老酸奶（表面有一层黄色奶皮），狗浇尿（一种薄饼），甜醅，湟源酸辣里脊（不一定非去湟源吃，西宁也有很多不错的），羊肠面（我最爱的搭配是，一碗素面＋一碗面肠肉肠混合），干拌面，炮仗面，烤羊肉串，烤羊排，炕羊排，手抓羊肉，青稞饼，牦牛肉干（超市里可以买的零食，我喜欢蓝色袋子那个牌子），青稞酒，青稞酸奶，八宝茶，蕨麻（可以用来煮粥的一种农产品），先列这么多吧，我想到再补充
如果你时间紧，不知道去哪里吃。那我简单推荐一下吧，莫家街里的马忠食府可以吃到上面我列出的大部分美食。但马忠食府这些年争议比较大。因为宣传的比较好吧可能，游客越来越多，所以东西价格一路飞涨，这是真的。也有许多本地人觉得马忠食府味道不如以前了。我作为本地人，客观地说，马忠食府价格现在真的相对偏高一些，比它味道做的好的店也确实越来越多。但我觉得它的味道还是可以秒杀绝大部分同类型店的。对于游客来讲，一次性品尝到多种地道青海美食，这里依旧是个不错的选择。
Dog urine? That must be cultural revolution stuff. Yuck. Good to learn the origin Nissin Cup of Noodles.
@@Moksha-Raver It's not 'dog urine,' but rather 'dog peeing,' a term that has been around for at least a few hundred years. When making it, oil is poured from a kettle in a swirling motion over the dough, resembling how a dog pees. This resemblance gave rise to the local folk term. There are many profound and extensive aspects of Chinese culture that may be unfamiliar to some. It's advisable to research more to gain a better understanding.
@@Lulu_from_ChinaThe locals don't find the term unappetizing?
@@BJGvideos Fortunately, this pancake is delicious, so nobody faults the name. Plus, there's always two sides to everything, perhaps it's the uniqueness of the name that has drawn more attention to this dish and helped it to be passed down through generations.
Always love to see Derk in your videos!!
Watching this one with my fractured left knee from first casual game going back to playing soccer. 🤣
Man. Youth is GOOD!
(Not too serious. Fracture in place. No plaster needed. Obesity and lack of personal training before going back to playing after 4 years.)
That is so interesting. You are a very dedicated traveler. Thanks for sharing the video!
Wow, being close to the border with Shanxi 山西 Province the accent of Heyang sounds closer to Shanxi accent than it is to Shaanxi 陕西 accent. Reminds of the video you made in the city in Jiangxi which was closer to Hunan in cuisine style than to typical Jiangxi cuisine.
Looks like Derk's hair implants have been successful!
That noodle looks hearty
Your Chinese friend is so cuuuuuuuute. Sweet potatoes taste best when it’s placed on burning charcoal until its skin turns black. ❤❤❤❤❤from Malaysia
Awesome ! I could watch this all day.
Who could still think that chilli is bad for one's skin ?!
Paint a mural each place you stay - good idea !
Interesting that the ancient instant noodles restaurant owner mentioned that many do not like it bc the lack of vegetables and meat to go with it. WHY WON’T he add vegetables and meat as sides to the noodles? No one is preventing him from doing so. This is a classical example of some Chinese don’t want to change bc it is tradition! Imagine one can order brisket, pork, or other meat with that noodles!
So cool! I love that story - the family who made the noodles you tried seemed so sweet. Its so interesting that instant noodles have existed for so long. But also that so many people said you may not like them. I wonder why? Maybe the trend away from carbs.
I absolutely love this video. I loved watching how these ancient noodles are made and loved the fact you loved them. And Derk's cameo at the end was pure joy and the icing on the cake.
Thank you for another amazing content!! You simply the best!!! Much love!!!!
I wish they sold these online! They look delicious! Lovely video as always! ❤
The founder of Nissin, Momofuku Ando was actually born in Taiwan.
Make at home, with scissors 🧑🍳 Make a batter with strong / bread flour and water. Make pancakes in a frying pan. Cut into strips. Prepare chilli oil, chopped spring onions and coriander leaf - again with scissors. Drop noodles in boiling water for 10 seconds. Enjoy : )
One can experiment with adding salt, black pepper, egg, herbs etc to the batter. Also,, one can try rice flour - leave the batter quite a while / warm for the rice to fully dissolve.
Taking it further, try thin crust pizza (add tomato paste / ketchup then cheese, onions, peppers, etc. onto the pancake then oven or grill), cannelloni, lasagne (cut pancakes to size), and dumplings : )
If you are for adventure, try a paper shredder to cut the noodles. Might work if the pancake is thin enough and not too soft. Untested idea - maybe great idea, or maybe ridiculous.
it's so impressive how quickly you connect with people, you can just click with people you meet and radiate a sense of welcome and appreciation for their advice and help, awesome to see and very inspiring to new travellers!
Another classic food adventure! If you go to Xining, I hope you visit Miriam.
Loved, loved this vid about the instant noodle! It is ubiquitous in pantries, it is an almost instant food, but a 2000 year old innovation. Love learning the history behind foods.
I would giver a LIKE to every single video you release. It's so fun watching your food adventure in China! Thanks Amy!
We (probably mostly me 😂) need a hair tutorial! Pls! Whenever I try those hair stick it always falls out so easily, yours looks very sturdy haha
Your videos are sooo well done & enjoyable! Its amazing the variety of foods and regional cuisines they have in China. You showcase them so well, watching your videos always makes me hungry! Those noodles looked fantastic!
China, the land of invention of noodles, instant noodles, hamburger roujiamou, dumpling, rice noodles, chopsticks, soy sauce, bean curd doufu, miso, tea, matcha, tea ceremony, hotpot, etc. The more I learn about Chinese history and culture, the more I appreciate at the wisdom of my ancient ancestors. Greeting from Los Angeles. ❤❤❤
Please make him official noodle approver!
I like your videos before even watching for over a year. Amazing content
I always love learning more about my culture from you ! Your friendliness, openness, professionalism is really felt wherever you go!
Very interesting! Looks so good!
Love the attitude and energy! They really serve as a pick me up from a long day
We love the noodle approver! You are both so genuine and kind. I love your videos. It’s made me want to go to China and to open my mouth feel horizons! 😂❤
Wow! I knew it! This is great. It really shows your local insight. This is a great noodle and also very healthy. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
the modern day instant noodles was invented nearly 65 yrs ago in japan by a chinese immigrant to japan . He was the founder of japan famous Nissin Food Product
Everyone is so nice and friendly!!!! Your videos really make me want to go to China.
The ancient one is probably healthier as it is not deep fried and has no preservatives 😅
I am amazed by your fluency in Mandarin- I am of Chinese descent but I can't speak or understand Mandarin like you do
That's so cool, thanks for sharing with us!
Nice you took the green skinned train😂, mostly available only in northwest china because the long distance of traveling
It's awesome how he uses a powertool as the motor for his mixer.
Thumbs up for the interesting ancient noodles making
I have never heard of this type of instant noodles! Thanks for sharing this video! Now I want to try some!
Very intersting!! I think Dirk deserves all the noodles to try!
多謝艾美讓我認識古代的方便麵❤
Iconiccccc i love watching ur vids after a stressful day of med school
I want to see a Jay+Ari and Blondie in China collaboration, lol
valuable and educational video content! love
Very interesting indeed. Thank you Amy and Derk!
在东北有一种烩面，就是春饼切成细条。调制好汤底后把饼丝放进去。也非常好吃
This is by far the best video u posted on food, did you know that instant noodles rescued world hunger, instant noodle is a Chinese invention but the Japanese pushed it out to the world, may this be why the Chinese population grew with solving the ancient hunger issue?
I love that you've been going to lesser-known places. As a Southern person I've never heard of Heyang and its ancient fangbianmian. 😂
those old noodles are so yummy looking!
Amy, as a professional food blogger, your clothing choices are SO daring! I continue to be amazed at how you are able to repel stains while wearing white. You keep testing the Gods of Cookery and keep winning. We are not worthy.
This is MUCH healthier🤔and seems easy to make.
I'll try it this weekend😏cause I conveniently have some youpolazi in my fridge right now.
Wow, you wore white & no splatter, nice job!
Interesting food science that it's like bread, but not! Glad it was tasty & worth the trip!
Sweet potato looked yum as well!
Continued happy traveling & eating!
Oh like that .
I used to think the most ancient instant noodle is yeemian 伊麵, i.e. pre-fried noodle from Song dynasty, that you can eat by boiling it for just minutes.
“Noodle approver” is a great phrase.
There's also a type of ancient Chinese instant noodle that's frozen too (the first in the world). I didn't know they did a "fresh" version. Very cool.
Your channel is so great. I love watching. Thank you and greetings from the United States. ❤❤
I've never seen a sweet potato that color! How cool!! Food is awesome
OMG Derk is a United fan? He must really enjoyed the FA cup game! What a fricking game!!
Japan invented instant noodles in 1958, but in Qing Dynasty, the Chinese had already invented a more efficient shrimp noodle that was steamed and baked instead of fried. Even no need to put MSG, that’s "real instant". They use broth and Shrimp roe to make the dough, , so boiled directly, it is already salty and umami enough.
日本1958年發明方便麵，而早在清代，中國人已經發明更有效率的蝦子麵，不經油炸，而是蒸烘，連包裝紙和味精也省掉的「真‧方便麵」 用高湯和蝦籽活面，所以直接水煮，已經足夠咸鮮
It reminds me of a thing in germany called fladle-suppe (apologies for spelling) that has pieces of what look like pancake in it.
In Austria we have Fritattensuppe. The striped pancakes are made with milk, eggs and flour served in a beef broth.
Love your videos
Derk is always a good sport . And, his hair is coming out nicely - looks like it was a success !
@1:26 Hard Sleeper - oh amy , can't believe you got the "nose bleed" bunk ( lol ) . Maybe in a future episode you and Derk can show what it's like to ride in a 1st class cabin , advise how to book one , and some of the gotcha's .
Why is it called nose bleed ?
Another nice video, Amy! You should get someone to help you compile and edit your videos to make a "Foodie's Grand Tour of 中国”🍜🍚
When you head back east you should make a stop along the way in Taiyuan and try their special aged vinegar. There’s a vinegar museum that’s kind of like a winery tour where you can see the aging process and sample. They even have vinegar ice cream.
The area is also known for their maaaany different types of hand pulled and razor sliced noodles, and a spicy fish head soup. There’s also this pasta dish that looks like a giant honeycomb that I can’t remember the name of.
Oh this was actually pretty cool episode
That taxi situation would absolutely happen in a random small city or town in Turkey too 😅
We need a dirk update. Super curious how that turkish scalp thing went? Love your content 👍
Made-by-Amy is always a fine documentary.
Derk’s hair is looking great. He can act as noodle approves any time.
Very nice video!
Me : driving 45 minutes to an other city to eat dim-sum.
Amy catching train to eat ancient instant-noodles.
😂😂😂😂😂
Good video mate
is it just me? i found that Amy is prettier than before .lol 🤣
looks easy, I’ll make it when I get home
