You are sooooo positive and optimistic. Even those old toilets without doors, you can find the positive aspect. Your life is full of sunshine, and i am so envy of your friends. It would be so fun to have a friend like you.
I can't believe she said no doors are even better! 😂 She is so positive about everything ❤️!
Agreed, no-door toilets haunted me during my elementray and middle school years.
What a contrast in cultures: Japan has self-flushing digital bidet toilets and China has holes in the floor.
@@Moksha-Raver Actually, I wouldn’t say it’s a culture difference, Japan used to have a lot of squatting toilets, and you can still fine them in rural areas in Japan. Japan began replacing them to sitting ones only this century, and I believe it’s a result of western influence.
@@Moksha-Raver And you can find them in other Asian countries like Malaysia and Korea. Though they are replacing them.
I like how your boyfriend doesn’t speak a word of chinese, but says 叔叔（uncle）almost perfect.... 🤩 awesome!!!!
If you two are together, that would be a perfect couple.
吴雨翔原来你也在看啊哈哈哈
I think he was learning, just not fluent enough to talk to natives.
the reason of not to mix the tofu brain is that mixing will cause stach sauces to become watery. Imagine a Carbonara with too much pasta water, the dish will lose its signature texture.
Pro!
Personal preference but breaking tofu into small bits doesn’t seem appetising. At Yum Cha they try very hard not to break it.
same reason why you don’t mix congee, it becomes watery and loses it’s smoothness!
In south of china， people eat tofu brain with sugar ，they will never add salt to it . evil food :) you can mix it as you want ~
@@nickjwowrific 而且会减少豆腐脑豆子的香气
Even a local Chinese has no nuts to try douzhi. You guys are real food warriors!
I know local people living in Beijing for decedes and never tried douzhi, many people in Beijing talking about douzhi seems like a bravery test, funny. I had never tried myself, maybe one day.
Douzhi is so smelly than others like Smelly-toufu or Luoshifen
I was born and raised in Beijing, lived there til I was 15. I gave douzhi multiple tries in my life and hated it every time. It's utterly disgusting and one of the most extreme "acquired taste" foods. I think about 99% of Beijingers absolutely hate it, so don't feel so bad lol.
Here, born and raised in Beijing, only tried it once, and once is good enough for the rest of my life 😂😂
I love the little interaction with the woman sitting beside you! It really is one of those moments which can make your day and can be so cute and meaningful!
Those are my favorite moments of her videos!
That nice lady that told her to not mix the tofu brain, she kinda looked like she was itching to talk to amy the whole time but didn't want to interrupt. 😆
I'm currently learning chinese and I'm pleased to say that I scored the highest on the food vocabulary. I think you're a good influence Amy haha
LOL
哈哈 中文很难的哦 加油
Congratulations.
民以食为天，加油。
u r in for a good life. 😆
Amy, your energy always draws in the friendliest people. Everyone you've interacted with has been so happy, helpful and sweet! Thank you for showcasing this wonderful culture in China 🥰
Humans should be like you guys. Hurting each other costs not only time and resources but also lives. Why not use the time and resources to make each other happy, or at least leave each other alone?
It's because she's blond and white. If she were black, the Chinese would be like, Oh, get away from us.
@@beaublack5719 YES!!! Black Lives Matter!!! Please stay away from China!!! Please don't waste your time with China!!! Whites love blacks. Blacks love whites. Black Lives Matter!!! White is the only hope, friend, and love for blacks.
@@beaublack5719 Oh, get your black ass away from China.
You Beau Black is so smart. You know Chinese so well!!!!!!!!
Please tell your blacks don't do business with Chinese or buy Made in China.
Please tell your blacks only do business with Whites and buy Made in USA and Europe.
胡說八道，你以為我們會像盎格魯 撒克遜人那個鳥樣嗎？
Just for reference, the first food 'Jian Bing' is traditional local food of Tianjin city. Although it can be found nationwide, most cooking is not authentic. To save cost, most people cook it with only wheat flour, while it should be a mix of mung bean flour, corn flour and wheat flour.
You guys are the cutest couple!! So clearly in love, it brings a smile to my face to see the chemistry.
As a typical northern Chinese person, I mix the tofu brain every single time. So, Amy, just do what you want to do. Maybe, You will find a new flavor.
yeah, I think that's just the personal choice to fix or not. I dont mix though.
You made me laugh when you asked Derk to squat! You are a Chinese at heart Amy as you can squat like a local! 😂

well said. Less Hate. Patience, Kindness, Appreciate all peoples!
@@CaptSoapy The reality is that the world judge and police, including their mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters, are dripping human blood from the corners of their mouths.
Derk很棒！他为了你们的爱情选择来中国工作，希望他在中国的工作和生活一切都顺利，祝福你们两位的爱情天长地久，幸福美满！
Both of you are so lovely. Derk was being such a trooper!!!
Such amazing people sharing some Chinese food that I’ve never even heard ( enough , lol) of! I would probably love the tofu brain and the oily pastry one. Love every minute of your video and most importantly the love you share with Derk. He’s such a sweet personality. Wishing you guy happiness together in China ( a heaven on earth ). 👍👍👍

Derk likes what you like and dislikes what you dislike. Great minds think alike, fun duo make a great couple.
as a fan from Germany, i thank you both for your bravery :' ) loving the new videos with you both since the contrast between China expert Amy and China newbie Derk is super fun
Thanks for putting ur taste buds on the line trying ”Dough chi “, I can literally smell it through the screen. I used to give that a go yrs ago, that smell’s still impressive to me. And that Chinese donut must go well with brown sugar on top.
i observed, the way how Derk looks at you when you sit with him explaining what dozhi is... very interesting. he has a pair of very powerful eyes!
also, when you eat jiaoquan and speak to him at the same time, you remind me of ur dad. you look like ur dad!
Bored at work so perfect timing! Can’t wait to watch! ❤️
Derk is such a great sport! So are you !!! ... Even I am not able to imagine myself trying fermented mung bean soup. Mung beans had been the staple for cattle and equines. I doubt they would consume this either... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad I discovered your channel few weeks ago! So fun and interesting
Cheers from San Diego California
His reaction on Douzhi is so real.😀
Amy brings joy in every one of her videos. She is so positive and adventurous when it comes to trying different food (even though I wouldn't try half the stuff she has eaten).
The northern bean curd is salty, the southern one is sweet, the Sichuan bean curd is salty, with shallots, chili oil, sprouts, fried soybeans, it is absolutely delicious in the world, amy should try the bean curd in Sichuan
对不起，我还是要推荐我们南方甜豆腐脑，可不能让你误导外国朋友。豆腐脑甜的最好吃。
@@oomboo7648 我們南方人叫它豆花吧，是豆腐腦凝固後的結果
@@oomboo7648 肯定是咸的好吃，卤里有香菇的鲜味黄花菜的香味木耳和鸡蛋的口感还有淀粉自然的甜味，咸的YYDS
@@oomboo7648 It's not misleading, it's personal preference
@@sonichui 马来西亚华人熟悉的只有甜的口味（毕竟我们祖辈都是中国南方人），可是我感觉我一定会很喜欢咸香味和川渝地区辣味的，我上辈子肯定是北方人嘻嘻嘻 （而且我从小就超喜欢面条！！）
This video had me smiling from ear to ear. You two are so cute. Your neighbors look cool too. Danke, Derk dass du noch einen Löffel von der fermentierten Suppe probiert hast. :-)
Your boyfriend's gaze is full of love ~~
Love your enthusiasm!! Keep it coming
Your have my favourite energy ✨️ 💕 , I look forward to your videos the most, they always brighten my day
thoroughly enjoyed this video! I always look forward to your vlogs!
You guys are just so cool. I love you both. Sincere people. Thanks for the content.
For sure I heard the crunch the first time! Sounds delicious!
1:26 哈哈哈，看来Derk有喝高度酒的天份，下次可以试试50几度的。
1:52 叔叔、阿姨非常的亲切，有这样的好邻居很幸运很幸福！
3:51 Amy的动作和中国人一样娴熟，而Derk有待锻练哈哈哈
4:58 德国的皮塔饼更像陕西的夹馍，Derk有机会可以试试比较一下。
5:21 有礼貌的Derk，可爱的大姐！
8:22 8:31 Amy在坑Derk哈哈哈，可爱的一对
11:28 在绿豆汁面前你们俩是一致的，我也没喝过，我非常希望有机会能尝试一下
12:38 太吸引了，我可以一下吃下3碗，等下次Derk来北京带他来吃。
14:08 阿姨人真好！
14:55 喜欢这个饼
So, when I lived in Morocco, we had the squatty potties as well. I'm not going to go into any detail here, but, tell Derk if he is nervous about them: You can use them standing up. You just need to have confidence and a certain degree of concentration
🤣
I actually think the concept of squatty potty is nice since I don’t have to touch a million people’s butt indirectly, but whenever I see it my weird brain will picture a scene where I fell in it and not able to come out.
@@owmehgudohohoh5886 I am 6'4" and 250 lbs and as much as I like the hygiene of the squatty potty, it's rough on the knees.
That woman is right, your Mandarin has gotten really good since returning to Beijing.
Great video with such positive vibes from you guys!
You and Derk are adorable together, I’ve been enjoying your videos together!
我吃豆腐脑就是不喜欢搅拌开，一勺一勺的吃比较好，但我媳妇就喜欢搅拌完再吃😆虽然我们都是东北人，但是在这件事上还是有不同的选择，我们也都对方的选择予以鄙视，哈哈~~~~
Aww, after a few episodes, I observe the boyfriend is a very good guy.
Gosh he's such a gentle sweetie!!!!
So lovely to watch both of you n Derk. I didn't realise I was wearing a big smile all the way thru your video 😂
You guys are sooo cute!! How he just ate the rest of her jiangbin without hesitation 😂😂 I love watching you two explore and experience China together. Even the small things like eating with your elder neighbours. Keep the videos coming!! ❤
Everything looks so good!
I love that derk got to meet your neighbors! Can please get an official video of your neighbors and derk?!
Also I love how derk said "single...even I'm not single" . How's sweet
Love and Love your food travel video, you and Derk are so lovable, the local loves you! May you hit a Million in this year!
Hi Amy and Derk!🙋🏻♀️
I also enjoy eating jianbing and tofu brain here in Toronto, though I’ve never tried fermented mung bean juice before.😏🫢🥛 By looking at your reactions, not sure if I will try it!😜😂🤣 Too bad Derk missed out on the tofu brain, I think he’d enjoy it!😁👋🏻👋🏻
Where do you go ??? I go to this place on midland and Sheppard. It's pretty tianjin authentic
@@joyjoyoo So nice to know you are also from Toronto! I went to the one at midland and finch (at corner) for tofu brain but since the pandemic, I find it too salty! For jianbing from the 金鐘midland plaza… which one you usually go?😃
真好！通过你们的拍摄角度看到了我的故乡, 听到了我的乡音！That's amazing and thanks a lot!
Your disposition is like a spell 🙄🙄🙄 making people happy watching ur video. Tnx u so much. U're so blest. And of course u're making me hungry. I've bn wanting to go back to Beijing to visit our 87yr old aunt but this covid thing deters our plan for such a long time. I hope nxt yr it'll be more laxed in China so we cn push thru our trip. Tnx u again young lady...love u ! Overseas Chinese frm d tropical Philippines 👍✌👌
You two are so cute together! 💕
Derk is definitely a keeper!
I love your videos! Your boyfriend must be having the time of his life! Your neighbors are such sweet people!
I love almost everything in this video! Haven’t tried the douzhi yet. I bet your neighbors love when you get douzhi for your videos though, they get free breakfast for tomorrow lol
Nobody likes leftovers!
Oh, saw your lovely neighbor again🤣. I love seeing you & Derk 💝加油加油👏👊💪
tang youbing is actually amazing. one of my fav
love you guys! I LOVE love
Yum, thanks for sharing! That bread & tofu brain looks good! Continue to enjoy life & hope time passes quickly for you so you get to see your beau soon!
I have such a great time watching you two trying different food items! It's really a pity that Derk didn't get to try the tofu brain and the sweet bun!!!
What I love more is your interaction with the locals -- sometimes I am afraid of the Aunties (as a Chinese myself) but all the ones you met are incredibly nice !!! I think it's because Amy gives out this super positive, kind and warm vibe so people automatically treat you super friendly. I, on the other hand, suffer resting bitch face syndrome so not much luck for me LOL
Hope Derk is doing well at the new work place! and sending both of you love!!! Thank you for sharing with us your amazing journey!
Blondie in China is the ideal channel for anyone looking to learn about the many different foods of China, it almost always leaves me feeling hungry😋❤️😋
Congee with fried sticks are signature meals for Chinese breakfast, as well as curing illnesses.
是中国北方，不代表全中国，谢谢
So happy to see both of you :)
I think I missed this video! You two are so sweet here!
You guys sooo cute and sweet. Derk saying just #1 not #2 yet. I want to try the first breakfast you had and last one the donut looking one too.
Please consider publishing your own Chinese travel book, hard to go through all the videos when we visit!
Loved it! Cheers from Canada
I like the closing thought part 😀
love your content mate!
Fantastic breakfast food recommendation in China .you are keep it up very likable person so many people seem to connect to you so easily and just love to watch your youtube keep it up. From Singapore.
I'm currently in quarantine in Xian and (hopefully) moving to Beijing at the end of this week! I've been binge watching your videos when the wifi allows lol can't wait to try all the chinese food again 🤤 and maybe look up some of your fave spots!
What a lovely couple :)
The squatting scene was so funny 😂
I love your videos and energy Amy!
So happy to see your handsome boyfriend join your wonderful journey
Love you two very much
You two are sooooo cute together!
I love how you mastered the Asian squat girl!
I am living in Tokyo now, I love “糖油饼” very much, it’s one of my favorite breakfast when I was young, of cause, I can’t find it in Tokyo, so , one day, I decided to make it by myself , result: success! My kids loved it too, but second time was not as good as last time,because the most difficult part is sugar dough, anyway, I am happy to know that you like it too! 😎
Omg! I am so happy I stumbled at your videos! I LOVE jianbing! My first experienced was in Munich Germany 🇩🇪! I moved back to Vancouver Canada but I haven’t find jianbing here. I really enjoyed your videos!
Great you both like Chinese foods!! Good on you Oz!!!
Love you both
LOL - Derk’s expression was priceless!
It is a such lovely video, lot of smile and interesting experience. I hope I can visit Beijing next year and explore around the lanes.
Yall give me very parents vibes (like comforting? Safe?) me gusta
Love this transition, already prepared (something that I will never do).
I love seeing you and Derk trying new things.
Your bf such a gentleman. Happy for you two enjoy china trip.
第一次留言，艾米 吃煎饼果子 喝豆腐脑 锅巴菜 那必须是咱天津呀。。。有机会来天津尝尝早点。。。
As a born and raised Beijingese, I never liked it as a kid, but when I grow older, I find it's actually not as bad as I remembered. So it would taste much worse if you drink 豆汁 Douzhi cold, or only take a small sip of it. Because in that way you will taste its full flavour in details, which is not pleasant at all. The right way to drink it is to do it while it's still hot, and take a big sip of it then swallow. That way the only thing you will get is its aftertaste, which is not that bad, especially with the help of Jiaoquan or Xiancai.
肚子笑疼了。。男朋友喝下豆汁然后生无可恋的表情
说实话我稍微有点失望他为什么还让Amy多喝一口豆汁😭🫢
Hi Amy, there is a Jilin restaurant in Chatswood 吉林人家. You could ask your parents to give it a try ☺️. Very authentic flavour, large portion size, avoid lunch rush.
I LOVE JIANBING this is literally such a foodie's heaven omg
How fun it makes me smile 😊
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Both of you are so cute ♥
Is the restaurant you went to for "douzi" is 护国寺小吃? If so, there are a lot of "must try" food options in the restaurant you went to for "douzi". It is one of the most or the most famous traditional food restaurant in Beijing. You can get suggestions from your neighbors.
I think you should be Australias ambassador to China. You can help repair diplomatic ties between both nations. So proud an Aussie can speak fluent Chinese & you immerse yourself into their culture.
Me too 😭😭😭 she is awesome 🤩 a true role model to look up to! I love you Blondie!!!! 🫢🤍🤍🤍
You two make me very very hungry all the times every videos I watched them.
You guys are so cute! More Derk in your videos please! 🤗
You guys are soo cute .., 🦋
The "tofu brain" is a good literal translation. There might be some history why it's called "brain", the closest translation I can think of is "soft tofu". I think in part that we believe brain is supposed to be ultra soft.
脑好像是北京话的一个儿化音吧，没有实际意义。
in fact, Chinese are very sensitive about the leftover food, since giving others leftover food isn't a very respective behavior(very rude, unless you give it to your parent when you are young.). If you want to share some food in real life, we usually pack the food before we eat and then eat the unpacked food, and don't forget to tell the person you give your food to what you did.
That’s totally true I bet Blondie just said it to seem like she had a plan already, I like to that too “everything was already planned from the beginning” lolz but i yeah in the other hand I was kinda disappointed her bf didn’t drink the whole thing hhh but I guess is just not his way of doing things :)
Yeah, I noticed this too. I know Amy definitely doesn't mean harm and she just doesn't want to waste food, but I hope she's careful about giving her neighbors too much leftover food from her food attempts. I don't want them to take it the wrong way if it happens too often. 😭 Amy be careful of this subtle thing!
The problem with the squat toilets is if you are working in coveralls at a plant it gets really tricky 🤪🤪🤪 I’ve seen a few guys come out of the can freaking out 😁😁😁
