My wife has never tried Chinese food in America before. I took her to the most average restaurant I could find to try the most popular dishes that the average American orders.
She bases her rating on authenticity and taste. We even got some local opinions.
Watch Winston's video where his wife, Sasha, tries Panda Express.

Why?
Maybe _"Conquering Northern China"_ isn't the most appealing name for all parties...
When I saw that comment I was thinking about my game as Manchu, conquering Beijing, bit of a weird name.
laowhy86 I love her voice 😘😝❤️
I'd say American Chinese restaurants are usually better than places that pretend to be Italian restaurants.
^ Just one more reason why Chicago Deep Dish is the only REAL pizza in America.
I was gonna disagree until I say your name and pic you win boss win Lmao
Well I like american pizza though most of the noodles I ate in america were "aweful", while american chinese food was usually great (just not authentic ... same with the pizza)
Clearly you've never eaten pizza in Italy. In Italy, pizza commonly has a short, fluffty crust, thin base and much less cheese than you're used to. The country which beat Italy for the best Italian Pizza for three years running? Australia. Feel free to look that up.
I don't think that's fair: Italian-American cuisine is a distinct style from Italian cuisine. It's not better or worse, any more than Thai is better or worse than Vietnamese.
But the red-checked-tablecloth cuisine is a thing, perfected in Little Italy of New York and the North End of Boston -- meatballs, eggplant parmigiana, veal scallopini, chicken piccata, and so forth. These aren't tastes I associate with Italy, but they are ones I associate with Boston and New York. And they're authentic -- authentically American.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN CHOW MEIN LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE
Shahreen Sultana i wonder if the cook is mexican
fuck your culture
for my understanding, lots of restaurants, no matter american, Italian or Japanese, they have mexican chefs, im just saying everything we eat we thought it's authentic, it's not. panda express has mostly mexican chefs.
Alice Romefeller u wouldn't want me insulting ur culture Ik ur a trump supporter but Ima not gonna offend u
Amanda Mei o Thankx for explaining that sorry
Hi only 3 years late to this vid, but as a Chinese American that has grown up living and working for my parents' Americanized Chinese food restaurant, I was often confused why "chow mien" was not actually noodles and why it was called "lo mien." I was later taught that this version of "chow mien" is something called "chop suey" and is very common in Cantonese dishes. With the Cantonese Chinese generally immigrating before other mainland Mandarin Chinese, "chow mien" became the Cantonese version while "lo mien" became the actual noodles. With that being said, if a someone walks in asking for 炒面，I usually clarify what exactly they want because it can get very confusing. Hope this was a little interesting to learn haha
Wait, How dafuq hokkien got 滷麵 Loo Mi got there lmao.
btw 面 means face XD
Ya things get pushed sorta liek Cnaadian Bacon is just ham. I guess every culture kinda messes up other culture dishes on the whole be it ignorance limited supplies or even being able to obtain the food like do you think you will get fresh seafood in Kanas... not happening even with jets and that is super costly. Then again Look what she said about the beef. I know there is a whole industry that sells pre made dishes for Chinese restaurants or at least ingredients to mass sell hence how in the end the guy mentioned simular dishes you find all over.
TYVM, that is helpful. I had a theory but my theory leaned upon a chow mein made inn the Philippines sans noodles. With many thousands of Americans in that nation annually & the confusion caused by "Chinese" restaurants including dishes similar to Japanese tempura, Mongolian BBQ, Filipino lumpia, Japanese sushi & other non-Chinese East Asian foods there may be another reason also for the differences noticed by Beijing region Chinese origined people.
Chow mein in Britain is noodles. We have beef chowmein, chicken or plain. Or Singapore chowmein. All with noodles
I don't like chow mien or chop suey...they are basically the same thing except chow mien is topped with crunchy fried noodles. I do like lo mien though..that's the soft noodles.
I’m just here to hear her say “Fry, fry, fry, fry, fry”
Matt Horkan dead😂🤣🤣
Fry Fry Fry Fry Fry...

That dish they call Chow Mein is actually Chopsuey.
Chow mein is noodles with soy sauce
@@searchingforfoodonyoutube2500 I think she's talking about the "chow mien" in this particular video and how it's actually chopsuey....I'm Filipino so I would think the same cause a dish exactly like that is called chopsuey(def chinese influenced...i think?) in our country (bonus if theres quail eggs...yum!) but I don't know if original commenter is also filipino or if theres another country that calls it chopsuey as well
@@yapibunnyyanny9291 I'm vegetarian 😑
@@searchingforfoodonyoutube2500 Good on you! I don't know why you're slightly annoyed(or at least I think so) but if its because I mentioned quail eggs I'm very sorry but hey as a vegetarian chopsuey is a very good dish for you to try and it's very delicious (for me atleast) and easy to make....its stir-fried vegetables (we put cabbage, cauliflower, string beans, grean peas, carrots, mushrooms, baby corn any other veggies you like) with oyster sauce a little bit of salt, soy sauce and sesame oil... as a non-vegetarian this dish made me love vegetables specially as a I used to hate them as a child... for other non vegetarian folks, you can put any kind of protein/meat in there like chicken, beef, in my family we love putting shrimp and of course quail eggs! God bless, man! ♡♡
@@yapibunnyyanny9291 leave out the oyster sauce and mushrooms and it's great
I like her "it's just vegetables like some slop my mom cooked." 🤣🤣
roasted her mom in HD
She cracked me up like a Fortune cookie! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
so, it's authentic chinese food then...
my mom is irish and has her own version of slop, so it's fine depending on where you are
ROTFLOL!!! I cracked up laughing so loud, I'm sure my neighbors heard me.
I love the two random dudes that gets involved in this😂 they are so chill..
I died laughing when they popped up 😂😂😂
that introduction tho.. i died :D they are so cute
I've never seen chow mein without the fried noodles, and lo mein usually is a different type noodle
I had chow mien and fry noddle for dinner it was great
Chow mein and lo mein is basically the same thing -_- just some school for your summer
@@didilover123 ummmmmmmm...................no?
Idk wat ghetto Chinese place they went to chow mein is noodles jus like lo mein is noodles n I've been to alot of Chinese restaurant
I asked for chow mein once at some American "Chinese" restaurant and all they gave me was picked cabbage...
I love how they interviewed the contractors. I noticed the guy in the gap hoodie leaning back in his chair and listening and was like "awww he's paying attention and listening to you both." And then you did a little interview with them. Subscribed
That was really sweet. I like that those guys know what they like, and are enjoying themselves.
Imagine how panicked they are seeing her push aside the dishes and walking by and hearing her ratings lol
not really ... you sell what customers expect not what one single female with no nationwide chef experience thinks. If she is used to 1 or 2 small parts of China, then how can she accurately judge dishes designed to replicate dishes in OTHER parts of China?
@@davidfisher5140 reviewer...
Noodles and fry fry fry fry fry
Jazmin Martinez I LOVED THAT PART
I love her outraged cry of "I"m not a vegetarian!"
This is a thoroughly charming young lady. As a teacher of EFL, I have to say her command of the English language, (or at least the US dialect thereof), is quite impressive.
He he yeah was about to write that. Was so fun.
They actually talk like that in china.
She has HELLA grip, eating the ribs with chop sticks 😂
Jaionnie Roberts really tho😂😂
Ikr like damn
wow

When I lived in Korea, I fell in love with the Korean "American" wings - their take on American-style hot wings.
When I returned to Canada, I managed to find a Korean "American" wing restaurant!
Imagine finding an "American Chinese food" restaurant in China. It's great.
Probably could find it in a bigger cosmopolitan city like Shanghai or Shenzhen
In China,there is New Orleans style chicken wings in KFC,though New Orleans don’t have this lol
Well there’s a reason why there are no panda expresses in China
I'm dying watching the guy in the background watch you eating
jessy black and then they make a cameo in the video 😂
Boy in the Gap get up was looking Hard, like "damn China lady better not be bad mouthin mah China food dag nabbit, garsh darnit!"
We need more of that guy!
He's going to town on some lo mein, livin life.
Now lets go to china and see their take on western foods.
I would honestly love to see that :)
This is fake. She is Chinese American. Long enough to pick up all the American idioms. She has been to places call Bufffet Palace/King/China.
I don't know about China, but I hear Japan actually does a lot of it really well.
When it comes to fast food, it's mostly the same. However more upscale ones it's very different. That is if you can even find it.
I'm Danish and every bakery in China I was in has the character for Denmark in some of their pastries/sandwiches etc....
But I have yet to see something that was authentic(1 place came close). Same goes for other countries though, US for example.
The point is stuff like this doesn't matter and anybody who thinks it does is autistic.
Food is based on geography more so than culture and outside of dishes that are made specifically for cultural tradition nobody should care or be offended if one culture alters the recipe of a dish to suit their citizens tastes more as ALL HUMANS DO IT.
This video just reminds me of buzzfeed videos where they try to shame westerners by saying we are dumb for thinking panda express and tacobell are authentic.
Newsflash: we don't, and nobody with a brain cares.
The Mexican cooks out back were deeply offended by this video.
DeathShouldTakeMeNow
You don't have to be Chinese to cook the food.
DeathShouldTakeMeNow XD said true I always see them in the kitchen
You can be any culture of people from that region but will call it chinese food if you cook it in america
I actually do pest control for a couple of places, some hole in the wall and some actual restaurants and if I can be honest about it. It's mainly people of Mexican descent that are cooking the food. They just get one that has similar looking eyes to that of an Asian. Could just be Florida, but that's what I've seen a lot of
why not?! what to you do?! use your hands to eat your white people mcdonalds huh?!
This is gosh darned adorable.
My favorite bits are when she repeatedly goes "WHAT?!" and looks at the dish with confusion.

Chinese food, even American Chinese…..is so good it’s addictive. 🤤
"The Search for General Tso" is a good documentary and goes into how American Chinese food became what it is today. Basically due to early Chinese immigrants needing a way to find success as well as integrate across the US.
Can you please tell me what Chinese dish she mentioned? The one she said was just like general tso?
@@TWHowl Around the 5:22 mark, I think she says "goo lou yok". Which is sweet and sour pork.
@@TWHowl the general or the dish cause ironically he help stomped out a ughyer rebellion in 1750s
She's right. Where the fuck is the noodles? YOU NEED NOODLES! PAN FRIED NOODLE!!!!!
Exactly, 炒麵!!!

Kelly Stout EXACTLY
Kelly Stout That's chop suey
Maybe her husband feeds her noodle dlck lol jk
west coast chow mein has noodles and looks nothing like the one you got
Real Chinese owners in the west coast don't play
I’m on the east coast and I’ve NEVER seen chow mein like that. Its always noodles and it usually tastes fantastic. That restaurant they went to is garbage imo
@Matt Horkan we do it with the noodles in upstate NY no cap
Every place in the east coast I've been to as well.

Lol that "chow mein" is an abomination even by Panda Express standards...
Actually well-made chow mein can be fantastic is you do it properly...
well... it is suppose to be fried noddles
Chop Suey is better.. lol.
For real. I don't think I've ever seen chow mein in the US that did not involve noodles and meat. He's right about lo mein noodle dishes, which are popular here. I've actually read that the name of chow mein (which in its usual incarnation was actually invented by Chinese in the west as I understand) actually is related to lo mein.
i've also been in China long enough to say that that dish did not even look like the real chao mian
“And fry fry fry fry fry!” 🤣

I love the honesty, and the local guys at the end were neat. Its nice to see everyone enjoy life and share opinions.
the best chinese food i've had was at a party in my apartment (usa). one of my chinese teachers brought everything and made gyoza (jhau dzu). but we has a lot of asian food stores that you could buy almost anything at. the main difference is the vegetables. i lived in japan for more than a decade, and basic vegetables like carrots, potatoes, etc. were TOTALLY different. you can't make food from another country when the basic ingredients aren't available...
"I wanted the noodle and fry fry fry!" I'm dead! 😂😂😂

What kind of fucked up restaurant doesn't sell chow mein witb noodles in it
UUmmm to my knowledge and Ozzie one.. no one sells that old recipe anymore but from what I remember I'm sure it NEVER came with noodles.. and I'd say Australia being exposed to asian food longer than Americans we have it closer.
Luckero i will say this in NY CHOW mein is this LO mein is with noodles.... she is sorta right the explanations did get mixed up
Luckero exactly
I live in NY we have noodles..
Luckero it's opposite I'm america
Spicy, gorgeous wife! Lucky man. The “slop“ comment made me laugh!
Her English improved so much.
At least panda express's "chowmein" has noodles. lol

Evelyn Nicole thats what i was thinking
Panda Express also has a discusting food crab Rangoons or “cheeserangoon”
Panda is nasty
Baagoat chomien = 炒麵 the word "cho mien "is just an easier way to pronounce chāu-mèing, it literally means "fried noodles" so by definition, you're wrong.
Evelyn Nicole8
That's not chow mein, even in America. Every Chinese restaurant in CA will give you noodles (with veggies and meat) if you order chow mein. I don't know where you live.
his wife not even from canton when in the US more then 50% severs canton food not shanghai food where his wife comes from
Nope, I've run across this type of chow mien in CA before.
When I went to New York they served me rice too. I was so confused.
I think it's a Fujianese thing to serve that Vegetable rice thing instead of Chow mein. If you order Chow Mein in Chinatown, NY (the Cantonese part atleast) you get the fried noodles. I've called for Chow Mein when I was dorming in college and I get the Vegetable rice in gravy. They were run by Fujianese people.
Every American Chineses restaurant where I live serves that goopy slop chow mein like in the video. It's one of the most discusting things ive ever eaten. I grew up eating the La Choy chow mein with crispy noodles out of the can that's actually petty good, and oh man was I in for a surprise when I was served that sloppy crap. I almost threwup.
Oh yeah there are authentic Chinese restaurants in my city that I frequent and Chinese hot pot yummy!!!! I haven't seen chow mein on there menu though.
This is the first video I have seen your wife in. She is really adorable. I love her reaction to the food. Great idea!
I can't stop binging you and your friends channels... your wife is a hoot! She is awesome!
Has she lived in America for a while or been exposed to a lot of Americans in China? Her accent is as American as someone born in the US but raised in a Chinese speaking home. Just seems unusual, and I'm a bit stunned. How exactly did she obtain such a strong American accent?
We have been together for 7 years, but no, she never lived in America.
Well I mean, the majority of Asia when they learn English they learn US English not UK English, whereas people who live in Europe they will learn UK English so that's probably why.
It really amazes me how language acquisition is so natural for some but for many others it is pure torture. Your wife is a natural, I think.
That's not unusual, practice/mimicking plus little bit language talent I guess. Maybe since the 2nd semester here in US, everyone met me thought I was an ABC at first and I've never left China before. I did learn local Chinese dialects and accents fairly quick and authentic while I moved to a new place.
cause that all was dog meat!!
chow mein in canada is noodles...
The Graceful Savage I'm in Michigan and it is here to
It's noodles everywhere. Besides this one restaurant they went to, apparently, lol.
It is in America too.... That restaurant is just taking advantage of semi-rural New York and Pennsylvania's obliviousness it seems. I've been to hundreds of Asian food restaurants all over the Western United States and all of them provided fried noodles mixed with some veggies as chow mein.
The Graceful Savage I'm from NY and it's just tons of celery in this weird milky sauce. So gross.
I thought he said it wasn't chow mein, but chow mei. I mean, they're not the same? Or I heard it wrong.
She's adorable, I love the reviews.
I know this is 5 years late but...
I really enjoyed this video amongst your China coverage, really humanizing for me at least. I especially loved the end with the 2 locals, it was a good way to balance out the opinions
Where in the USA where "chow mein" doesn't have noodles. I live in SF. Chow mein is noodles here.
visualpun650 in parts of more western states like California they call chow mein lo mein like a bunch of idiots
depends on the restaurant ive been to ones where chow mein is vegies and rice and some where its fried noodles
welp i love panda express and ik they got noodles in their chow mein
On the East coast.

Ya, it's supposed to have noodles, even in the US.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Chow mein is mostly noodles. That looks more like chop suey.
This guy is an idiot.
Where I'm from its chow mein too
In some place it is simply stir fry sliced onions+celery serving with rice and crunchy noodle. Dunno know it is called Chow Mein when it literally translate to stir fry noodle.
she has an awesome sense of humor ,,love it.
I really like your wife's personality, she is so cute and funny
Your wife's adorable and you guys made me laugh soo much. Great video!
+Direct X thank you!
I would like to concur with Direct X. It was great, and I have always wondered if this is anything close to real Chines food. Thanks for the video.

??????wtf
Gotta love homeboy in the background just staring at you guys while you eat, lol...
Even better the way he holds his plate in one hand and the fork in the other, that's real class.

Then they decided to include em' in the video!
They are dissing his local Chinese, homeboy ain't having no disrespect! They could have been talking about his usual for all we know!
Holy crap, they interviewed him!
OMG Love this couple. I'm super in love with her humor
You guys had us laughing are ass's off great vid you really need to do more. And thanks
How did they get chow mien wrong?? It litterly translates to fried noodles
That is the saddest plate of rice and vegetables I've ever seen in my entire life
O wow thx for the 216 likes
yeah, atleast throw some like carrots and those baby corn things in there.
🤣😂
I worked at a Chinese restaurant for 3 years as a dishwasher and the food they gave us employees was nothing like the food we sold. Way better to begin with. And way less sugary. That is when i fell in love with rice. I had never had it taste or look so good before that. I still cook it the way they taught me.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
You should also know that fortune cookies were created by a Japanese person living and working in San Francisco's in the early 1900s.

Chow mein? More like chop suey.
You should have her try Panda Express
Nathali Blanco he already did that a while ago lol
Nathali Blanco I love Panda Express, but if I compare it to the actual Chinese , I would say Chinese has more…you know. Panda Express is the American Chinese,but it is pretty good.🤔😙
I'd say Panda Express isn't authentic and is more like Chinese fast food. Really unhealthy and uses more MSG for flavour rather than actual Chinese herbs/ seasoning
Theres a link to that below
Chloe you do know MSG is a seasoning.
Please thank your wife for supporting your channel, I enjoyed her view on Western style Chinese. I live in Australia so if you ever get down under please ask your wife to judge our cuisine. Bless.
I was half-hoping you'd interview those two guys. Lo and behold, you did. *_Big Fan, man!_*
Omg I am so glad that some one is finally acknowledging that there is American Chinese food and Chinese food
Ellie Ho
中国菜第九大菜系: 美国菜。。。
exactly. just like there is a difference between American Italian food and Italian food. Case in point: pizza. In Italy, the pizza is actually thin with a light sauce.
Ellie Ho we got the same last name lmao
Ellie Ho Actually I lived with a Chinese Chef that used lots of Shrimp.
Ellie Ho u have to be reaaally dumb to not no tht sorry
Why do people get so offended how it's not authentic?? Do you think the Italian restaurant you go to offers authentic Italian food??? nope. I mean when was the last time you hear people complaining that pizza hut pizza is not authentic Italian pizza???
Jeez calm the fuck down.
It's insulting as it's giving terrible food and saying it was made there. Thus, making it look like they have bad taste.
Name
Just because it's not authentic doesn't necessarily means its terrible, just a different take.
Baghuul What she most likely meant was what i said, it's terrible and they are selling it as chinese food.
Most of these places are advertising like its fucking authentic chinese food when its fucking not. Would you like it if wanted to buy an authentic Apple iPhone at a place saying its an official Apple store but its a "different take on the iPhone" which is not a real authentic iPhone but some shitty imitation of one?
because that's not a good representation of people in general. i doubt the average native Chinese people would react this way to Americanized Chinese food. The combination of camera and picking specific personality leads to these type of dramatic reaction videos.
he hit the jackpot with his wife, 9.9/10 looks and personality

(UK)
ninefivesixteen same I thought chow mein came with noodles
Chow Mein is pretty much noodles with vegetables and beef majority of the time. Mein pretty much means noodles. Honestly, the Chinese restaurant they went too probably just caters to the western audience. A lot of "Americanized" or "Canadian" Chinese restaurants will change dishes to cater to westerns. A lot of Chinese don't eat at mom and pop Chinese restaurants unless it is 100% authentic. I see 95% non-Chinese people at Chinese restaurants all the time.
That restaurant is probably just average walk-in takeout/diner. The owners of the restaurant have been there for years and probably do things how they feel like or have always been doing.
Ezekiel Elliott hold the fuck up. you can't just go round saying we eat Indian food and burgers . ive never had Indian food and I dont like burgers so not all Brits eat just Indian food. think about what you say before you fucking say it. oh one more thing get a life rather than picking on someone who is making a small comment on how a dish is different where they live
tiger_stacey 1222 i was joking calm the fuck down
I hate Indian food... Looks like crap, tastes like crap, it has the texture of crap. I think they're serving crap.
Your wife is so cute. I get the same reaction from my Filipino wife when we go to eat in restaurants in America and Canada.
Love the way she's taken to the fork. On the spare ribs she reached over the chop sticks to get the fork before grabbing the sticks.
haha our Japanese house guests in USA loved two things, American rice & FORKS. They preferred both over sticky rice & chopsticks.
More funnies? The spiciest fish served in a sushi platter is always the "ginger fish" bwahahahahah!
@@davidfisher5140 Always think it's funny when I'm out with my Asian friends(from Asia) for Chinese or Japanese food and we're the only people in the place eating with forks.

Lmao! Stoop 😂
yeah it was weird seeing a white employee too.
I Want to Buy a Kitten What about American dragon Jake long?
Uhh the whole "Chow mein" deal must be something for that specific restaurant. Both Chow and Lo contain noodles in every Chinese restaurant in every state I've been to. Dafuq you talkin about lol.
actually it's real, I been FOOLED My self once here I Va, I grew up surrounded by Chinese specifically "Cantonese" people in my home country and then, I am super confident to order this chow mein thing, they came up with rice and veggies which is chap chai in my country! crazy huh!
No not just that one. Many use chow mein noodles but others make the dish to OTHER standards. China is a BIG country.
Picture this. NY vs Chicago pizza, hotdog fixings in 6 regions (chili or not, sauerkraut or not, pickles & ketchup ...) Socal fish tacos vs Texmex tacos, Memphis vs AL vs SC vs KC BBQ
or maybe this .... from India to Vietnam there are OVER 200 different curries try some different ones & ask yourself if they are REMOTELY similar!
Vivi is awesome. And General Tso's chicken really surprised me! I thought that would be strictly American food
My Chinese grandma used to make so much food when we had celebrations (I.e. birthdays, family visits, etc.). I remember cutting the vegetables as a kid and watching my mom and aunts prepare the food. Good times.
Wow. So General Tso's chicken is sort of authentic? Mind = blown.
Between the thickly sweet and the simple on the nose heat, I was sure that was made here too. Makes me wonder if our sticky sweet and sour's as inauthentic as I figured.
"General Tso's" was actually invented in Taiwan and ten adapted to the American taste pallet. However it was then "reimported" into China, I've seen it in some restaurants in China when I lived there. So I guess she knows the reimported stuff. 😄
Ive never seen chow mein like that. Are you sure thats the correct dish?
Yeah, even in my school cafeteria, chow mein is noodles.
Yeah, Ive run into that problem here in L.A at a couple of Chinese restaurants...ordered chowmein and they brought me a vegetable plate with some crispy noodles on the side... I asked them WTF? and they said the Lomein is the one with noodles... but the majority of Chinese places do it right...hell, even Panda Express calls it chowmein.
Looks more like a chop suey in my opinion
I'm British and chow mien is always fried with noodles even at a takeaway.
I'm an American who has lived in several different states on both coasts. I've never seen chow mein without fried noodles. The fried noodles are the best part!
I liked the two guys in the end, really made me happy
Awesome video guys. Vivi is so lovely, she makes me smile. I see the big Americans in the back ground . This is their snack shop before lunch at McDonald’s. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺👍

DanielleTakesPics indeed :D
DanielleTakesPics I really feel like punching those guys with all due respect

I've only eaten Americanized Chinese food, but seriously the chow mein looked completely different from other places. As far as comparing noodles, thats beyond my experience.
Chinese-American food is not technically Chinese food. It was developed in San Francisco using the "left over" vegetables and traditional Chinese spices for feeding workers in the poor working class areas of the city. It eventually caught on in other areas because it tastes so stinking good. My only experience eating in (mainland red) China was very different. Even Hong Kong food was different for the most part. I consider Chinese-American cuisine to be more American than Chinese. Developed in America by Chinese immigrants
i agree that is not chow mein i have ever seen
Yeah, it's normally noodles and something. That was weird!
People don't realize American Chinese food are often very regional. There are often unique Chinese food menu items that you can't find anywhere else. For example, St. Paul Sandwich(Egg Foo Young sandwich) in St. Louis, and Peking Ravioli(dumpling) in Boston. Let's face it, overwhelming majority of customers of American Chinese food are Americans, it make financial sense to modify the taste to satisfy those customers.
I'm from the Midwest and my family operate Chinese restaurants all over the US. The chow mein in the video is exactly how we will cook for our customers with pack of fried noodle. I've had customers from California very surprised by how different Midwest chow mein is from California.
The main reason some dim sum look like ravioli is to simplify production. An inside-joke that is always good for a laugh.

Heather Chandler you're nasty
When I didn't finish my dinner my parents told me that a starving Chinese person would love to have my plate full of food. I told them to please give to one of them and then I got smacked.
Lol! :D
1. You didn't finish your food
2. You talked back
3. You dared value a stranger over yourself/your family.
4. You probably cringed. Which would get you another smack.
:D
Tinweasel .....................stfu mom
My parents would say the same thing. Sometimes it was chinese kids, ethiopian kids, guatemalan kids, and african kids.
@@kwonj126 Sounds like some insecure parents to me
When you have been living in China for 7 years:
You know, I'm something of a Chinese myself
but Chinese 7yo kids are still full Chinese 🤔 what's different
But he knows more about China than some ABCs.
I like that guy in the background listening to your review.

It's appropriate to use it when you're talking to someone who doesn't know your wife personally.
“Im half Chinese because I’ve been living in China for seven years.”
That’s not how it works...
