Yea i know chinese food gets a lot of bad reps and diarrhea jokes but i honestly think they are the best at making fresh food, nothing highly processed ever goes into my mouth ever again, ive even gotten better after chronic fatty liver, ive lost a ton of weight and i feel great, the vegetable cooked in garlic and oysters sauce are to die for, ive never eaten so much veggies before arriving in China
I’ve been to where you’re talking eaten everything you’ve shown in this short. One thing I love about Shanghai is that you can wander down almost any street and find really cheap food made fresh. There’s open markets in a lot of places that open early in the morning for breakfast. Only thing is the $4 dish you showed is actually kind of expensive compared to other things you can buy off the street. But it’s a restaurant so hey, gotta do it for the experience.
by the way, Shanghai's food is considered ridiculous expensive for ordinary Chinese, go to any tier 2 city, you most likely get the same meal for less than half the price, perhaps even a third of what you would pay in Shanghai.
I just gotta say your smile is so contagious 😊 you just look so genuinly happy when you eat good food and i cant help but smile back i just love your videos!
Nah chinese food can't be trusted. Their cleanest city is worse than the most destitute Western city. Their food safety standards are non existent and they use sewer oil to cook with.
I used to not like Chinese food because I’m from America and live in a small town so it’s really hard to find a good place where the food tastes authentic. I wasn’t going to give up though, but then one day, one of my good friends invited me over for lunch and she’s Chinese. her mom made the most delicious Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. It was very fresh because she has her own garden in her backyard. I’m just happy that I didn’t give up because those restaurants were not giving the food the justice. The food is absolutely delicious. 😊
One of my Amercian mate has the same issue. He used to believe Panda express is chinese food. I have to spend a lot of time to explain to him that there is no such thing as orange chicken. And later he took a trip to China, and when he was back, he told me all those American Chinese Food are so fake...I was like, told ya bro....
Problem is American Chinese Food are ultra processed. Very far away from fresh cooking using natural ingredients. I found the Chinese Food in the US inedible. Gave me really bad bloating as well.
Those buns remind me of a regional German bun that is made with such a salt crust bottom, but they're unfilled. They're super delicious! Some people eat them sweet with a vanilla sauce, but I like them best just as is. Interestingly enough, when I lived in China I didn't really enjoy most baozi, they where too sweet and doughy and there was never enough filling?
Yesterday the forecast AT NIGHT said it was 38C but felt like 41C!! Took the dog out for her night walk and it did indeed feel damn hot. If you live here (as opposed to visit) you kind of get used to it. And also don't go out much!!!
You’re kidding ! Shanghai is stil so cheap. I had a full crab meal (Michelin star ) with 7 other friends . I think it was 10 courses and it came out to like 32 bucks a person.
When I went to Shanghai, I just felt at home with their food and cuisine. My father was born in Nanjing, and for some reason a lot food I used to eat that have disappeared in Taipei I can find them in Shanghai. There was a lot of snack that were my grandpa’s favorite, I found them in Shanghai. Taipei used to have them, but not anymore. Youngsters nowadays only like Japanese, Korean, or western food now. Once I met the original owner of 老天录 who used to operate a shop in Los Angeles who was originally from Shanghai, moved to Taipei; then to LA Chinatown. He said that making these snack are very labor intensive; his kids were getting good jobs. With no one taking over their craft, the know how acquired over his life disappeared. What a shame.
Anyone from Shanghai or Suchow tell me if these foods my dad and grandpa had in Taipei still exist? 桂花糕（osmanthus mochi roll with red bean paste in the middle)? 一口酥 （bite sized salt and pepper pastry)? Bowl shaped rose colored rice cake with red bean paste？ steam layered cake with pork fat and sugar flavored? I dreamed about these childhood snack, but I don’t see them anymore. 😢
Bruh when I was in Shanghai we went to a couple of these “fancy” restos and I absolutely hated them all. Best time I had was these little “villages” where you legit just walk and eat. Some had table but you’d be sharing with randos and they give zero fooks abt service but still have line ups down the block. That’s how you know foods. Bomb.
Yeah I hope that Macau and HK keep their freedoms as SARs while being under Chinese control as they should be. They shouldn’t be controlled by colonial empires or the mainland even more for sure
Those egg and chive pancakes look absolutely delicious! I wish we had a thriving street food culture where I live, but it’s just not a thing. We are seeing a rise in popularity of food trucks, which is promising at least, but they sell a limited variety of food.
Tell me, why is DaIit-Land lndia still so poor, underdeveloped and third worId-like? everywhere I see there looks comparable to a typical poor African country almost. India is well-behind many countries in many different worthy fields and aspects especially revolving: quality of life, hygiene & cleanliness, HDI, income per capita, infrastructure, development and so on. lndia is also behind their northern neighbour China by at least 30+ years. The development & progress is not even comparable. lndia is only comparable to Pakistan and other third worId-like nations - especially in Africa. It’s laughably pitiful to even the *developing* worId.
Small tipp for the next time ur visiting shanghai: Rather than staying at those places frequented more often by tourists (like the peoples square) go for those midsized malls a little bit outside of the center in the living districts, those have actually a lot of great food that are well liked by the locals
@@polyglycerol3968 China is an authoritarianist government which means everytime there is a scandal of some sort the governement cracks down heavy sends people to jail and executes people this happened when the gutter oil stuff was happening 10- 15 years ago
comments like these from random trolls make my blood boil. you don't understand the food inspection systen in China at all, especially in cities like Shanghai. Especially in recent years the inspection are strict af, and these people work so hard to sell food. If u want gutter oil, go to ur local mecces but don't badmouth restaurants and food stalls you have never been to, just because they're Chinese.
Ngl the chives pancake was my everyday go to breakfast back then in wuhan cause its tastes sooooo goooood cheap and healthy (i always added the sausage and the stir fried veg for extra) 😂
You should try the 小笼包 Shanghainese Dumplings is one of the best foods you’ll have in China also it’s my favourite Chinese food (I’m definitely not bias)
Looks amazing, would love to try it. Coming from outside is probably really cheap. Although, I wonder how the locals manage? I mean, the PRC deprives citizens of their rights. The CCP has absolute rule and it is a totalitarian government. Moreover, the wealth gap in china is substantial. It’s estimated that 50% of the population struggles to make ends meet. The food looks incredibly delicious though and I hope want day I’ll make the time to visit and try all this great cheap Chinese foods 😊
ccp doesn't exist at all. most channels that say stuff against China is just for clout chasing and the videos have the complete wrong narrative from the original. BUT ANYWAYS THE FOOD IS GASS😩😩😩🔥🔥💯💯💯
When I lived in Shanghai (granted it was 8 years ago) I ate for 2€ a day because I mostly got noodles and fried rice from street vendors - tasted amazing and the price was unbeatable ❤
u know my granparents live in shanghai and my family is from shanghai so when we went to shanghai our hometown we orderd this stuff every single morning

@@ben8718 but what about the rumor of gutter oil and fake meat using carton boxes?
@@ben8718that's assuming you don't get diesel in your cooking oil and heavy metal seasoning... Not to mention fake meat etc etc.

You are very wrong you joking right? 😂😂

Any recommendations what else I should get? ❤
Giant bowl of ramen
@@LamarSpear-sz2cpthought Ramen was japnese ???
aa i really want to visit your homeland mate
Not actually, the origiin of Ramen was brought to Japan by a Chinese dude and reinvented in Yokohama Chinatown@@Racistt_Hotdog
Ok, the bao looked nice but those fried bread egg and chive pancakes looked absolutely incredible and satisfying.

Thats not true
You get a whole loaf of break for that in germany and still have like 1,5€ left
The happy look on the host's face is so priceless 😊😊😊

They all look so good!!! 🐢🔥🔥
I’m an American living in Suzhou. I have a very happy, convenient life here
Do you have a way to know if they use gutter oil or not?
@@tizio3409 gutter oil is scarce and expensive in China now. all collected and make into avaition fuel and guess who buying it all? USA and Japan.
Happy for you man!! I'm from the UK, in Shanghai (for almost 20 years now). Also VERY happy here. Suzhou is beautiful, you've done well :)
You make me want to go there!! It's never been on my bucket list but now it is
used to live in shanghai. the food was amazing. a high end cantonese restaurant you could try is Yi Long court at the peninsula hotel.
I love your videos man keep up the amazing work❤❤❤❤

Im from Guangdong, and the prices in shanghai are actually insane if you compare to our province
yeah I got a whole bowl of noodles for 8 rmb that I couldn't finish it's crazy
I went to china during december
The food is super delicious
Their xiao long bao is very juicy
shanghai xiao long bao not that good, if you go to jiangsu province, which besides shanghai, thats xiao long bao's heaven
Every time I go to Shanghai the fried buns are always my first meal.
Those buns remind me of a regional German bun that is made with such a salt crust bottom, but they're unfilled. They're super delicious!
Some people eat them sweet with a vanilla sauce, but I like them best just as is.
Interestingly enough, when I lived in China I didn't really enjoy most baozi, they where too sweet and doughy and there was never enough filling?
Not gonna lie , but Korean Kimchi , Chinese Zha Cai & Japanese Tsukemono are wayyyyyyyyy better German sauerkraut
i always buy it Dampfnudel i intentionally use it with some chinese fillings or grilled pulled pork😂
I’ve eaten in 100’s of great restaurants and eateries in Shanghai but all are very expensive!
Try going to restaurants in western countries. That’s what real expensive looks like
I love how excited you are about food.
It's a price way more affordable than in the USA right now
You should make this a series for every country across the world
This guys happy face brightens my day! Damn I wanna go eat these foods now
Why does food always looks so yummy on utube reviews? I can get such food here in another country but doesn’t seem so tasty 😂
Hot tip, don’t go to Shanghai in summer,
The heats gonna kill you like it did to me 😅
Yeah its so fcking hot there, even in Japan
Yesterday the forecast AT NIGHT said it was 38C but felt like 41C!! Took the dog out for her night walk and it did indeed feel damn hot.
If you live here (as opposed to visit) you kind of get used to it. And also don't go out much!!!

Whenever I buy frozen pork buns I always steam them and then crisp up the bottom in a pan, makes them so much better
Father's side of the family is from Shanghai. Absolutely love their breakfast foods
Used to live in Shanghai. Those dumplings have got to be the think I miss most. They are perfect
you went over budget though you said $4 and spent $4.25.
Shanghai is so beautiful! Went before and would go again
They will have to roll me out of there ❤
Shenjian are soo good. My grandfather makes such amazing ones.
These are insanely overpriced in Toronto. Get your full while you are in Shanghai
Right! And Shanghai is also an expensive city 🔥
Wow this looks amazing!
$4 won’t cover my gas to pull out of my driveway in USA. 😂
Are you driving a diesel locomotive? 😂
Singapore is like Shanghai, it is an expensive city but there is cheap food if you know where to find them like hawker centres.
$4 in US cant even get you a drink 😂
Those look delicious 🤤😋
Here in Switzerland., $4 gives you a couple thumb size pieces of chocolate!
Here in finland 4€ you get one way ticket to mental hospital.
Bro 4 chf sind nicht mehrere Stücke, max eins
How much do you earn in Switzerland? Average annual income in Shanghai is $28000
The average net worth of a person in Switzerland is a little bit more than 685,000 euros. I'm sure you can afford it.
WOW! Beautiful and delicious 😊

Yeah I hope that Macau and HK keep their freedoms as SARs while being under Chinese control as they should be. They shouldn’t be controlled by colonial empires or the mainland even more for sure
Your awesome and awesome video be safe out there
Ahhh..you are making me regret going vegetarian 😭😭😭
I should get some veggie dishes! ❤
Yes sir@@InstaNoodls
Don't lol there are some mean veggie options too you're gonna love it
You can find a lot of delicious vegan or vegetarian dishes in China because a lot of Chinese people go vegan due to religious beliefs
Those egg and chive pancakes look absolutely delicious! I wish we had a thriving street food culture where I live, but it’s just not a thing. We are seeing a rise in popularity of food trucks, which is promising at least, but they sell a limited variety of food.
