Why are you shilling for a country that has openly called out for nuclear war?
I'm sure you're not a bad person. But your actions indicate otherwise.
Why was your Chinese driving Licence application failed?

I just don’t understand why someone always tries to make everything political

hahaha, Jason is adorable and a little shy. when Amy was talking over the noodle soup, I can honestly see Jason was fighting hard to resist the temptation and can't wait any longer for his bowl to come and dig into that sensation noodle, lmao!!!
absolutely！HA HA HA
呵呵，他是桂林本地人，吃米粉当早餐成为那里的人一种生活方式！
The taro and lotus seeds desert - I can only dream of in the UK!
❤ B!
Awww we want more ...lots more videos of you and Jason videos. Awww we'd be delighted if you guys would stay in touch.
Huge thanks to Jason for being my food guide! If you wanna learn more about Guilin or get in touch with Jason you can check out his 小红书RED page @9474843654
噢买尬 我就是桂林的 好想偶遇A米
Only locals know the best place. Thanks Jason. Hope I can visit Guilin someday.
You are so lucky to meet Jason who can take you around! Big thanks to Jason, and as always, thank you for the food adventure, my eyes are drunk with the food scenery each time watching your posts😍😍
Yangshuo is such a cute town.
The foods look delicious, I'm hungry now, so it's off to the kitchen 😋❤️
Welcome to my hometown Amy! Jason is indeed a perfect guide! The food selection is just perfect and we local people would recommend almost exact same set of places he brought you to and agree with every word he said! Can't wait for the next episode!
Guilin is my hometown too👍This is the first time that I have seen a full set of introducing 桂林米粉 on TH-cam.
Also my hometown,lol
I am foreigner in guilin lol
@@ghggghhvghh-ds9on Which district u at?
Amy I’m British Chinese but only been to China once for work . Thank you fir filling in the huge “gap “ I have. Love your videos. They really are valuable fir people like me. Thank you sooooooo much.
I’m Australian Chinese…so I know what you mean when you say “gap”…I moved to Hong Kong to fill it. Chinese culture, history, food and its people are so interesting and diverse. I’ve fallen in love with it even more since I’ve been here and by extension I’ve gotten to know myself a bit more.
Feel free to back again. It will be your homeland as always.
Yes I know what you’re saying. Im New Zealand Chinese since the pandemic I haven’t been to China in 4 years…ah, I miss it so so much!
So thank you Amy for making these videos fro ppl like us!
Literally same!! Amy is my bridge to restoring cultural identity 🤌
Are your parents from Hong Kong or at least your dad? You and I have the same last name, and I'm from Hong Kong.
Another amazing food adventure! Jason was a great host. Thank you to Jason for showing our favorite blondie around! :)
Jason seems like a cool dude. More videos with him plz
Jason For the Win. I am Cantonese (literally the East of Guang whille Guilin is West of Guang), and I feel like a tourist. I have tried rice noodles all my life and yet none of these. Awesome
Me too! All of these rice noodles were new to me, and all so delicious
I’m American Cantonese and the only rice noodles I’ve had and absolutely love is Gnao Yook Chow Fun (wide billowy rice noodles stir fried with tender beef, onions, soy sauce, etc). Never had these types of noodles and would love to try them- they looked delicious!
I can see the sticky rice burger being a big hit. A dollar for a meal that you can easily eat on the go without any utensils. Great for busy people looking to fuel up on a budget.
She said 4 RMB, not a dollar.
@@taotao98103 today's exchange rate, less than an Australian dollar.
thing is when they bring this to Australia or another western country, it will cost $10 AUD/USD
Thanks to Jason, we learnt a lot!
Looked amazing! I hope China will reopen in the near future I’m dying to experience this amazing country!
Thank you for taking us along!
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
欢迎欢迎
welcome！
chinese also hope that 😢 we’re welcome everyone
Thanks Sabrina!! I hope you're able to pay a visit in the not too distant future!
This looks wonderful! The horse meat noodle I’m a little wary of-in Western culture, horse isn’t one of the normally eaten proteins. When it’s eaten in Western literature (as in Christopher Moore’s “Fool”) it’s a “protein of last resort” in that the characters’ rations are too low to continue, so it’s eat what can be eaten or die from starvation.
anyone got the same feeling like me? That Jason is a so sweet and kind and natural person to be a local guidance, make this china food hunting so interesting
面相很舒服
Jason is such a nice fella taking Amy around Guilin.
Ok Amy, you have to make it a rule that you can’t post videos shorter than 20 mins! I love your videos, I wish they were 30 mins long😂😂😂, watching you from London ❤️
I love ur channel so much! My entire family is Chinese but we've never been to China and when I showed my grandparents this video, they got a HUGE shock. They're pretty old so seeing someone like you speak Chinese with such a good accent really shocked them
I like the first stop, no food wasted to the last drop. And when you see a small kid eating the food on his own, you know the food will be great.
Jason such a sweet guy! Lucky you Amy to have a local take you round.
Amy and Jason sitting on a tree pucking
@@CupContender 😂😂 i'm not the only one who saw the chemistry between these too, she should date a Chinese man as she loves the food and speaks the language well too lol
@@HUYI1 they def pucked that day
Hope there will be more episodes from Guilin. Everything looks so perfect.
Many many episodes to come! 6 in fact hahah
Its 2 a.m in Europe and iam still watching your videos, i must really like chinese food
hahaha yay!1 Thanks for tuning in Kalle!
As a Cantonese I’ve never been to GuangXi , I can’t believe foods are actually so cheap there for locals .
在廣東，別說大城市，就是一些偏遠地區的城鎮，桂林米粉都是最低10塊錢，而且一點都不正宗，不好吃。
@@justinlet4974 我老家五线城市都要15块钱吃一碗扣肉粉
桂林本地米粉一般5塊二兩，5.5三兩，19年的價格，不過聽說這兩年沒變化
@@justinlet4974 正常，就像肉夹馍，一样的量，西安卖5块，武汉这边居然可以卖到8-12，简直太过分了，而且还没有那么好吃。
然后武汉热干面这边4块一份，西安那边普遍8-10块😓而且芝麻酱也不正宗
Ah~ what a wonderful experience and so great to make a new friend in this new city as well!!
Thank you Jason for showing Amy/us around Guilin!!
Really enjoyed this video a lot. Really thanks to Jason, bumping into your subscriber, he really did introduced you to so many true local and delicious food. My mouth watering seeing all the delicious food and espcially the sticky rice burger looked out of this world. And like Amy said, each rice noodle were different from the others and they looked delicious, but the first and second rice noodles look so amazing. Then the dessert at the end. I really think you should stay in Guilin longer and maybe get Jason's or more locals recommendation to what more to eat there.
I ended up staying in Guilin for an entire 2 weeks and making like 6 videos haha, most of them based on Jason's recommendations!
@@BlondieinChina Oooo plenty for us to look forward to then, i'll impatiently wait for the next few videos then haha
Amy has friends in (almost) every Chinese city 😂
😂
面基🤣
Love your videos! Being born and raised in Canada, I never had any desire to return to the motherland, but you've changed my mind! I'm definitely adding Guilin to my list!
You can start by experiencing China through Chinese food and Chinese culture from your local community.
I'm happy to hear! Guilin is definitely definitely worth the hype
@@taotao98103 hahaha even though I’m born in Canada I’m still very much Chinese and grew up in a Chinese household lol. I simply meant I never had the desire to visit China until Amy’s videos
@@b1uedestiny But most Chinese households would always talk about going back to their hometown, experience hometown Chinese NewYear，gather with old relatives, how to distribute gifts.
@@taotao98103 a little different for me. My grandparents fled Guangdong during World War 2. All my family is located in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam.
Thanks Jason for helping us discover this fabulous world of flavour!
Been anticipating this episode for years as a Guilinese, but somehow it’s so emotional to watch you wandering around in the hoods I grew up in. A lot of memories are flushing back and make me even more homesick. Anyhoo hope you are enjoying my beautiful hometown!
Literally same emotion when I watched this! 桂林人+1
Yay! I've been excited to visit Guilin for many many years and so happy I can finally share videos from this beautiful city. One of my favourite cities in China I have to say and I indeed did choose to extend my stay there - for an extra 2 weeks! I think that speaks for itself hahaha
Thanks for sharing this. The rice noodle looks so delicious. Jason is a wonderful guide!!🥰🥰
everything is so yummy 😋! BTW, Jason is such a good local guide!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
好勁。👍
首先好欣賞Amy 是很勇於嘗試和接受新事物，很開放迎接事物型。同時間總是吸引差不多的人同行似的。👍
Jason 是真的新認識吧！這是拍攝的方法之一，物識當地的人，幫忙帶領介紹當地特色的、出名的或是地道的什麼、什麼。
奇妙是Amy 的特質總是跟差不多的，而差不多共有的特質又能互動著、傳遞著、和散發著，即是令其特質深厚著似的。
很欣賞Jason, 很認真的，事先了解好食物的歷史來由和經過（已知也是想好要分享吧！不是帶個人來，說聲這個囉！那個啦！），再告訴和分享出來。👍✨ 相信Jason 的含蓄感是對Amy 因新相識的一份禮貌，但很願意付出的，只是幫忙（雖然不知道大家的協議是怎樣）。但能送贈附加價值在其中吧！
桂林米粉的質地、特性，所以只有這裡才有的，物種上的知識，來由。（好好準備了的逞現來的。好有心。）👍
所以與誰同行多重要！👍 （事實係好明顯的，真的。）
全部都是我喜歡的。🤤
桂林山水甲天下。😍 想去。。。食米粉，甜點，糯米。。。😁✨
作为一个东北人，现在是跟着你视频游中国了~~很多中国的城市，就像桂林，你爸妈都去过了，我都没去过呢😆 另外马肉的刺身也非常不错，比袋鼠肉好吃🤣最后还是感叹一下我们国家美食的物价真是太合理了~~~
特别是东北，物价真的良心，基本去过全国各省，东北真的 价钱菜量惊人
@@sanzhang3187 尤其是吉林省，物价非常感人～
What a lucky you are Amy! with so many of your networking TH-cam's friends. Your video is something nice to remember about Guilin and Yang Shuo, we have been there for 3 times. 👍🏻🙏🏻😍
Thank you for show us the food, Jason is really a nice guy. Hope to see more scenery in Quilin.
Wow - what a blessing to have found Jason! He is a total gem! Another great vlog Amy 🥰
Agreed - total gem!! And thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Talk about being at the right place at the right time, Jason had a day he will never forget.
My daughter was born in Guilin. We have visited many times. Our favorite city in China, so beautiful. Also lots of great food.
Been watching you for almost 3 years now. I think I wrote you once to tell you how much I loved your videos. I just want to say it again cause each time I watch your videos throughout the years I keep telling myself how much you are so loveable and knowledgeable with chinese culture. Seriously every time i watch your freaking videos that goes in my head! Thank you and hope your videos reach more ppl so that you can grow more subscribers. Cause you are awesome and do excellent work I wish ppl could see. Hugs.
P.s.
I also like your boyfriend. I hope you two get married! That long wait for him paid off :)
How serendipitous that you met Jason! Yet another amazing video from you, Amy 👏👏👏 that taro lotus dessert has my name written all over it!!! NEED. NOW! 🤤
The taro dessert was honestly a game changer and in the 2 weeks I stayed in Guilin I went there almost every day hahahah
You are so energetic in every one of your video love it 😂❤❤❤
Every Tuesday this is my viewing treat, love your content. Thank you 🙏🏻
This comment makes me SO happy!!! Knowing you enjoy my videos is my greatest reward
Amazing episode! The views and food looked spectacular!
What a nice guy, Jason 😇
Hey Amy!🙋🏻♀️
Wow I love watching your vlogs so much. It’s amazing that Jacky could take you to so many authentic places! It must be an adventure to try all these scrumptious food! They look absolutely mouthwatering… looking forward to seeing more vlogs soon!😋😋😋
Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
Jason is so amazing
You are so brave to follow a stranger. Stay safe! We can't wait to visit there to try all those noodles.
I was in Guilin at the same time as you! The rice noodles 😍😍 So delicious! Thanks for sharing!❤
Thanks Natt, I will start watching your videos.😄
@@icebaby6714 Thank you!❤️
@@ExpatNatt no worries, subscribed to your channel.
I am binge watching your videos. Keep them coming. Great work.
Jason is super nice! Wow a lot of delicious foods 😋
Taro/yam paste is actually a very traditional Teochew / Chaoshan dessert as well; sometimes we add coconut milk (not so much as in the video but just a bit), and instead of lotus seeds we use gingko nuts. Pumpkin paste is sometimes added into the mix as well, and traditionally the taro/yam paste is fried in pork lard before it is served warm or hot (lard sounds strange in a dessert but it is actually very good and a common practice in some traditional Chinese desserts/pastries).
Amazing video as always Amy! Would you please do your next video about Guilin's amazing scenery and a little bit about the city's history? I visited Guilin 32 years ago, and I'm sure a lot has changed.
Blondie's Guilin video TORMENTS me with hunger, the dishes are superb, I want to Star Trek energize & transport myself to Guilin right now, great video!
Lovely trip to this lovely place!
Thank Amy for showing me around my home town. All the food look so tempting for someone like me has been away from home for so long. You definitely have missed a lot of other good local food. A good excuse for coming back again 😁 Also big thank you to Jason for being such a good guide.
This brings me sooo many memories of when I studied abroad in china and travelled to Guilin and had Guilin mifen for breakfast/dinner for 3 days straight!
Finally Amy’s in Guangxi! Enjoy your noodle trip there😂
It was the best!!
Just chanced upon your channel recently and have been binge watching your videos. Love your content! ❤️
if i were a girl, and if jason were single, i would date him!! hes a charmer, and he seems to know how to take care of ppl like you :)
I love Jason too...
It’s been almost 10 years and I’ve never miss my hometown more 🥹
Cheers on finally getting to visit Guilin! Such a famous and pretty place with those karst mountains. Didn't know there was such a large variety mifen though 😄
I had no idea either! And apparently what I tried was only the very very tip of the iceberg
Guilin rice noodles has got to be one of my favorite Chinese dishes. The 卤菜粉 you had looks incredible! Better than anything I had in Guilin, now I’ve got to try that store.😍😍
@Blondie in China - Whilst you're in Guilin please consider visiting Liuzhou City, it's about an hour by road or even quicker by train from Guilin. It has one of the best night-views in China, it's a spectacular place, some of the best riverside green park areas that you'll find, - and has even more variety of noodles than Guilin does believe it or not , it's also one of the key motor-manufacturing cities in China, is about as green and clean as a Chinese city gets (scores in the top for water quality) , it's unique in so many aspects and deserves showcasing i.m.o. it's simply a super interesting place to go visit!!
so true
Hi Amy, I currently living Sydney and finally you come to my hometown, miss my home so much.
OMGG yes!! been waiting for this to happen!
About 20 years ago I travelled to Guilin with my parents when I was a teenager，Amy's video reminds me of a lot of beautiful memories of Guilin❤ An amazing place to visit and spend some time there again😊 Thanks Amy for filming this video so useful if I had a chance to go Guilin again！I am a huge fun of 米粉 and 香菜 哈哈哈😂😂
What a refreshing cameo by Jason! And the two little girls are captivated by Amy 4:26 and 4:36. The lucaifen definitely looks mouth-watering! Slurp slurp 😋😋
HI， Amy， I am so glad you enjoyed your trip to my hometown - Guilin. I spent my childhood in Guilin city and moved to Guangdong 30 years ago. The moment when you were enjoying Jiu Gang rice noodles, I was visiting my mother nearby, every time I came back home, the very first thing I must do is have a big bowl of rice noodles in the same place. What a small world!
Omg I’m from Guang Xi but live in Sydney. Huge huge excitement to see you eating all the amazing mifen!!! So jealous 😊 there’s different mifen in every city in guang xi too!!!! Enjoy! 🥰
The second noodle dish and the rice layered with meat(that resemble a burger) looks soo bomb!
your Chinese is so good. it's really inspiring. I'm ethnically Chinese but I lived overseas most of my life and your mandarin is way better than mine
Guilan is like no other city in China. Breathtaking beautiful!
I have a lot of funny stories about getting the tone wrong!! Thanks for sharing this app. The sticky rice ban sounds so yummy!!
Everything looks so delicious. I need some of that right now.
Been to Guilin and Yangshuo twice, took lots of great photos. Especially up the nearby rice patties on the mountain tops for that sunrise shots. Climbed those Karst mountains. You have chosen one of my favorite places in China. 😊
Jason is such a great tourguide!
Jason is an amazing guide! 👏🏼
Thanks, everything looks so good!
作为一个广西人，隔着屏幕已经开始流口水了，五年没回国，想家，想家乡的米粉
就像我想念陕西的肉夹馍擀面皮一样，哈哈哈
I lived in guilin eight years, guilin is a beautiful palce, I love it. It is my second hometown.
I wish we had the same needle shops here. Just looking at those bowls makes my mouth water.
Our favourite place in China. Stayed a week in The Lakeside Inn close to the twin pagodas in 2018.
One Jason fan here🤗 I hope good life and happiness for Jason🌠
Jason很可爱，感觉是个很好的人，很好的脾气和性格。
应该是GAY。
他看上去是一个非常爱老婆的人。
嗯。他看上去也是非常爱他老公的人。
@@cruisel7584 嘿嘿 你对上面的回复充满了调皮并展现了不一样的世界😄
@@cruisel7584 从哪个细节看出来他是gay? 我很好奇。
Jason is a very nice guy.
I'm living in China for 12 years, went to Guilin one time stay one day for working, want to go again for visiting. Cool place. Thumbs up!
I can definitely see myself returning many more times in the future! Beautiful city, yummy food and chill vibes all round
@@BlondieinChina actually want to go during this month; but very complicate traveling around china these days, vírus, quarentene everywhere, testing, seems will never end the control.
I visited Guilin with a friend N years ago. I stayed there for 3 days and had Guilin mifen for breakfast, lunch and dinner and never got sick of it. Your vlog really brought the memory back😋😋😋. I miss Guilin mifen so much! I wish I can have it in Melbourne someday.🙏🙏🙏
I read in the comments that a new Guilin mifen place has opened in sydney called 'Taste of Memory', maybe you can check it out if you're visiting Sydney sometime!
@@BlondieinChina I do have a plan to visit Sydney early next year. Thank you very much for your information👍👍. I definitely will try it (found the place from Google). Thank you so much. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you .
loving your videos!!! so good
I met my German husband there. So many good memories. You should definitely go to Yangshuo and do a scooter trip round the yulong River. And btw if you really gonna go there, definitely check out the rooftop bar at percent hotel at the river side. Awesome view!
I only tried Guilin/rice noodles in a Chinese restaurant once, it is one of the choices as a main dish besides rice.
Your videos has now became my guide for traveling :D
So happy to hear!! Hope they are helpful
My goodness I miss Guilin rice noodles. I grew up in Guangzhou eating it almost everyday. I’ve been to Yangshuo and Guilin. Beautiful and very scenic. ❤
Wow what a nice coincidence to bump into Jason! He really knows the best dishes in town 😍🤤
Well done and so flavorful. Rice noodles are one of the tastiest and well-known foods in China. Guilin and Yangshuo are remarkable places to visit. The natural limestone scenery is famous. There is a night show of local performers with ethnic groups who use the River Li as a backdrop, and it is breathtaking to see. The songs, lights and blurring between a ‘stage’ and water itself are remarkable. Only thing to keep in mind is that local, Chinese audiences are not as quiet or considerate as those in the West. There will be smoking, chatter and loud noises in this show that can distract you, but if you concentrate on the show it is well worth the effort.❤
Now I find a amazing video to introduce my hometown!😂 Thx already sent it to few friends
I'm dying to go back to China! Hopefully in the not so distant future ♥
Hope your enjoyed the trip and views of Li River. beautiful. I wish I have some Gulin mifeng but instead I have pizza hahaha.
Just tried a newish Guilin noodle shop in Chippendale last week. Love the fermented and brine flavours in the toppings... looked just like yours!! So when you are back in Sydney, you know where to go: Taste of Memory!
there are a lot of dried, ready to cook Guilin rice noodles at your local Asian groceries store or online stores.
Ooooh I'll have to get my parents to go there and check it out! I didn't know Sydney had a Guilin noodle place! Excited to try it for myself when I go back home sometime in the future
Love the way you like authentic Chinese noodles Amy... pretty cool.
Cmon mate, the time is never just right for travel, but the time is also always right for travel!
The dessert 莲香思芋 looks delicious, the name is also a pun on the 成语 “怜香惜玉” 。Love your videos Amy，再接再厉😊💪
Thank you so much!!!
Nice. On my list of places to go.
if you're in Guangxi, you have to go to Liuzhou for the authentic river snail rice noodle!!!
