I xīwàng 希望 (hope) you guys xǐhuān 喜欢 (like) today's video! Let me know if you'd like to see gèng duō 更多 (more) videos with Ben in the future! Qǐng 请 (Feel free to) reply in your best Chinglish 😝
omg you crack me up of your chinglish to a different level. I am from HK so our so called chinglish is very different. We use few English words among the Cantonese when speaking. For example "我send咗比佢未呀?" meaning "have you sent it to him/her yet?"
This guy really needs a gig as a Chinese game show host, so much talent here. 13:09 Lol, reminds me of the gif where the guy just downs the Peking duck without any pauses and hardly any chewing.
oh my god, both of you have really nailed it.....especially Amy! ''不怕辣, 怕不辣'', playing with the grammar, you're really getting the essence of this language！
You two Aussie guys are so cute when communicating in Chinese....Reminding me of speaking English all the time at work with my other Chinese colleagues. haha! Happy Australia Day!
Hi guys. Loving the video. When I used to run restaurants, I would have to teach the Lao Wais how to eat Xiao Long Bao. I would teach them to place the Xiao Long Bao on their Chinese spoon, then pierce the top of the dumpling with a chopstick. This is done for two reasons...1) to vent the dumpling so you don't burn your mouth......and 2) to dribble the vinegar into the dumpling to infuse it with the soup. Then you can eat the whole dumpling in one mouthful to get the full juice explosion without burning your mouth. The legendary tradition is still being passed on by these experts now!
Loving the Melbourne content Amy! I grew up in this city back in the early 90s but have been living in Canada for the past 25 years. 2019 I visited the city for the first time since I left and was blown away by the diversity of Chinese food available. Never did I expect to be eating Chinese food everyday while I was in Melbourne for two weeks lol...
Ben definitely knows what hes talking about. Too much sauce is very American thing, and it covers the natural flavor of the duck. Instead, go humble with the sauce and it compliments the duck in such a way that literally means less is more. :)
Thanks so much for this video! It reminds me of the time I spent in Melbounre a couple of years ago, when I was a Melbourne Uni student. I miss everything on both sides of Swanston St, RMIT buildings, state library, Central/Flinders station, federation square.........I miss Melbourne so much!
Omg I miss Melbourne so so so so much . I studied in Melbourne and haven’t been back there for almost two years probably never again . Thank you for bringing the good memories back to me !!!!!
There's another great Peking duck restaurant in Melbourne's Chinatown called Dahu Peking Duck restaurant太湖烤鴨店。So many火鍋hotpot restaurants around now. Melbourne has so many restaurants in Chinatown though some of the ones serving點心dim sam as breakfast/lunch are getting scarce due to the pandemic
There is a well-known fifty-plus year-old Peking Duck restaurant in the Washington DC. The chef carves the duck at the table by just removing the thin skin. Then the fat is scrapped off. The meat are carved and used to make a stir fry or served beside the skin. I guess you can do whatever you like with the crepes, but you are supposed to wrap the only the crispy skin slice, along with condiments, in them. Then the bone is used to make the soup. (The soup they serve is not from the same duck. It's probably from the duck someone else's ordered the day before.)
Next time I travel to Melbourne I’ll definitely head to all of these restaurants and try them out! Very impressed by Ben’s eating technique of the xiao long bao, I eat it the same as you Amy😂
Another ‘safe’ way to eat XLB is to use your spoon after dipping the condiments, bite the tip of the XLB off, creating like a little volcano where the heat can escape, blow the top of the volcano to cool the inside and suck the soup up from the hole. Then drizzle more sauce into the XLB and eat it whole! Try it!
The way some of us eat xiaolongbao is to use your chopstick to break the hole on the top of the Bao, then pour some vinegar into the Bao. This will release some heat and add the required favour into the Bao at the same time. Then you can eat the Bao with one mouthful without losing the soup inside. The "skin" of good and well prepared xiaolongbao is thin enough for the delicacy but will not break easily until you eat. Also, it should be sized for a gentle mouthful. Btw, we usually use vinegar and a little bit of thinnly stripped ginger for xiaolongbao instead of soy sauce because this will balance and help the digestion of the pork inside the Bao. Not sure how genuine this is but it's what I learned in Hong Kong way back when I was young many many years ago.
Love the video. A tip for Blondie, next time if you travel to Beijing and want to try Peking Duck in a fancy place, try this restaurant "大董". As a Beijing local, I would always pick 大董 over 全聚德 for Peking duck. (大董's founder used to be a chef in 全聚德 actually) Except for the roast duck, their other duck dishes are amazing too. The only downside is the place is quite expensive (more than $100 for 2). But still worths it :P
辣妹只怕不辣。Glad that Chinese Cuisine has been evolving over the years overseas. It is no longer just 炒面，超米粉.. Good day Mates. Having chance to travel over China again, surely try out 陕菜川菜. I am sure you all love the spiciness over there. Speaking Chinglish is like to put all the simplest word from any language in one sentences...Chinglish evolves too...
also, spicy foods has been in China for a long time, it's that the new world native chili peppers hasn't. szechuan peppercorn, regular peppercorns, ginger, mustard seeds, horseradish imported from Persia, other native or imported herbs and spices, possibly wasabi from Japan (unknown when that import first started, but it's since grown in small quantities in Yunnan and Sichuan IIRC).
全聚德的德 actually means morality , is the same word as in the 德 from 道德 , what Ben was saying should be 得到的得 ， is a different word 😄 , there is also another Peking duck place in Melbourne called ( old kingdom ) at Richmond , they are very famous as well if you guys wanna check it out
Woahhh!! Shanghai Street is definitely one of my fav places! I'd usually go to the bigger branch in Chinatown. One thing I think Melbourne is doing better than Sydney is pho. I haven't had phos that taste as good as those in Melbourne. But having said that, I haven't sampled all phos in Sydney...
Amy! I found Wuxi style 小笼包 in Sydney the other week! The place is called Gangnam Spoon in Hurstville. They brand it as Shanghai Xiaolongbao but it's actually almost Wuxi style. Soy source based with lots of sweetness in it. The only difference is that actual Wuxi Xiaolongbao's are much bigger in size and much heavier in the sweet taste. But this is close'nough.
You guys are too cute! lol.....haha I usually eat my little dragon buns w a small bite and drink it as well and then eat the whole thing. I don't need condiments either as I like the taste alone. haahha...Ur friend BEN is surely brave to eat it in one bite.
Oh god I've been away from Melbourne for almost a year and miss every details among Melbourne CBD street! But currently I still cannot go back due to border restriction...so sad

i love it.. had been following you since you are in china.. are you going back to china (maybe not soon) in future?
You’re pronouncing 微(weī) 辣 incorrectly as 未(weì) 辣
More Chinglish collaborations for sure - 很有用 good to hear you getting a chance to speak Chinese again! Ben 很有趣.
I _xǐhuān_ 喜欢 (like) the video.
I also _huānxǐ_ 欢喜 (like) the video.
this guy literally sounds like people in the chinese advert
He even has that accent ( idk which region tho), like, crazyyy
@@mamahasgun3643 northern, a bit like Beijing, which even I as a Southern Chinese can't do it
His accent is f*cking awesome
Ben's mastery of the Chinese language is legit!
that’s my favorite way to eat xiaolongbao!! the best of both worlds! pierce, drain, sip, bite.
Yasss girl you know how it’s done
I really xǐhuān your video. I xīwàng my Chinese could be as 好 as your 中文 one day! ❤️
I 知道 one day 你的 Chinese 肯定 will be 比我好. let's together 加油
@@BlondieinChina I 觉得 this is a 非常 great 的主意, 我们 keep 加油ing together!
Add oil!

You two work so well together. It's hilarious how much fun you guys had on your Chinese food hopping.
This guy really needs a gig as a Chinese game show host, so much talent here.
13:09 Lol, reminds me of the gif where the guy just downs the Peking duck without any pauses and hardly any chewing.
Yes! Ben would make such a great Chinese game show host
Ben washing his hands in $30 duck soup had me rolling in laughter 👌😂😂😂 that’s hilarious

Ben’s Peking accent is better than mine, who grew up in Beijing and lived 18 years lol
Such a beautiful language! After I finish my receiving my French degree, I'll have more time to learn more languages. I really want to learn Chinese.
鸭皮要蘸白糖吃~
You guys are great fun together. Both such high speed intense communication 😅. Best buddies for sure. Super entertaining ❤
Amy is very creative. You ate in a creative way with the help of Ben
“天不怕，地不怕!“ I will teach this to my kids. I also eat my 小籠包 like Ben - its all about the broth explosion!
I remember Ben from the only episode of If You Are The One that I have ever watched!
You guys are so funny! 你们的中文很棒！I hope mine will be at that level in 2021! Food looks delicious!!
I learn Chinese from my husband and mother in law but I definitely have to study more and learn more vocabulary! 😊
加油！
Seeing you guys walk around Carlton brings back so many memories for me. I lived in Melbourne for 7 years and I miss it so much

Ben's Chinese is pretty amazing. I'm sure he must get this a lot lol. I can see he got some Beijing accent there. 😄😄

I think Ben is right with the amount of Jiang(酱) for the Peking Duck😀
But Amy has the smart way of eating Xiao Long Bao👍😀
Great Vlog! Very envious of you guys, so much nice food. We need some in the UK!
Amy and Ben, those are great choices for Chinese food. Perking duck is my favourite with the 3 course meal...the wrap, hoisin sauce, green onions. Yum
Ben definitely knows what hes talking about. Too much sauce is very American thing, and it covers the natural flavor of the duck. Instead, go humble with the sauce and it compliments the duck in such a way that literally means less is more. :)
2 amazing human being❤️
His Mandarin pronunciation is not just impeccable, but even has some light Chinese regional undertones. Absolute perfection lol
it is 10 PM in Toronto! i am STARVED! SOOO starved!
Ayyy . In Toronto, too.
太精彩了！我奉上 US$2.00的鼓掌 👏
He's like an Aussie version of Jim Carrey!!
Kudos to the two of you. Your Mandarin is OK la. Now that’s Chinglish. You need to visit Hong Kong to appreciate Chinglish.
Hahahah I love the use of ‘la’ in HK and Singapore!
Don't Malaysians use "la" too?

You both can speak Mandarin fluently and I enjoy watching your videos. 👍👍
You should dip the duck skin in sugar and then eat!!!!!!!
Ah yes! There was sugar on the plate, but didn't dip it in. Next time!
You don't have to. I don't like the sweet taste with the duck
your current video was seem and watch by 44k and 25k like how amazing you guys are doing this amazing video just 3days have post and shared
哈哈哈 So funny and I love your collaboration

最先吃的鸭皮，应该沾白糖/砂糖。是别有风味。与之后的鸭肉鸭皮沾甜面酱卷饼有口味上的对比。一个老北京的提醒！
These two adorable duos!!! Excellent mandarin 👍🤗
your video make me happy!!
Thanks for making me hungry. All my favorites.
Next time I travel to Melbourne I’ll definitely head to all of these restaurants and try them out! Very impressed by Ben’s eating technique of the xiao long bao, I eat it the same as you Amy😂
I literally live next to these restaurants. Great video from two of my favourite non native Mandarin speakers. Cheers!

I am a Chinese based in Melbourne, and I have tried all three restaurants in your video. They are very nice!
at 10:34, that part peking duck are normally suggested by dipping sugar.
I like the duck soup story from Ben, hilarious... laugh die me lah hahahahahaha!
You two speak perfect Chinese - Amazing! 👏 👏 👏
Love this video guys😄
Nice to see you here Ben!
Great video! We miss your dad and his mala tongue.
Great video, I love it. Thank you !!!

You both speak amazing Chinese. Amy, I can definitely see you in a show in China! 😃♥️
哇！老外真吃貨，讚！
你们太棒了！👍👍👍
Two aussies speaking amazingly fluent Chinese -- impressive!
小笼包的吃法：咬开一个口朝里吹气，然后直接通过小口把汤汁吸进嘴里，不要让汤汁接触到任何勺子碗等其他东西。然后一定要（重点）把小笼包蘸醋，通过小口让醋（家里做记得把醋稀释）灌进小笼包（灌多少看你有多喜欢吃醋），因为醋会释放肉里的鲜味，和吃蟹要蘸醋一个道理
Wa, the shanghai Street dumpling is the our favourite too, we go there pretty much every weekend
also, spicy foods has been in China for a long time, it's that the new world native chili peppers hasn't. szechuan peppercorn, regular peppercorns, ginger, mustard seeds, horseradish imported from Persia, other native or imported herbs and spices, possibly wasabi from Japan (unknown when that import first started, but it's since grown in small quantities in Yunnan and Sichuan IIRC).

我估计Ben是在一个很传统的意义上说的，因为他说like divine，传统的中国哲学里确实会说“德者，得也”，大体的意思是说德性是上天赋予的（尽管我不知道“全聚德”里的德的本义是不是这样）
Yay!! I literally can see panda hotpot from my window ❤️ love that place so much.
