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
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’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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!!!
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
Oh dear! 😭 Swiss lady in Singapore (Swizzyinsg) often posts YT shorts on cost comparisons between Spore and Switzerland. I guess she's very happy there in one of the most expensive cities in the world!
Chinese food is terrifying. You should look at what they reuse and add in. If you thought McDonald’s was bad it’s nothing compared to some cheap places in China
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.
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)
I got so confused for a second when I saw the Japanese Yen symbol but now, let's just say I was today years old when I found out that not only do the Chinese use almost the exact same symbol for Yen (It's "¥" but remove one horizontal line from the "Y"), but both "Yuan" and "Yen" sound almost the same. I'm Chinese and even I didn't realize that lol. Tbf I'm American, not a native Chinese. Man, I love how similarly related both Japan and China are. ❤🇨🇳🇯🇵💕 (Except one is loved while the other is hated 😞)
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
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. 😢
As a person from china, Shanghai, I just want to say I don’t think I have ever seen someone order 生煎包for breakfast 😂😂, that’s a dish for when it’s late af and you just want something to fill you up that also tastes like perfection or have it for dinner😂😂😂

He said "about" 😅 didn't miss the .25 😂
Not just cheap it's a real food with fresh ingredients no preservatives and not frozen and not microwaved ! Made on the spot by real people !

@@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.
@@ben8718 who tf makes diarrhea jokes about chineese food thats only mexican food lol people make dog and cat jokes about it
You are very wrong you joking right? 😂😂
I’m from Shanghai and I’m really happy that you’re enjoying our food! And seeing this really makes me missing my home now haha. Can’t wait for more!❤
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
meanwhile for 4 Dollars in Germany: 2 Slices of Bread
In the US it only gets you a dirty look.
dang at this rate y'all are gonna have to invade poland again

Thats not true
You get a whole loaf of break for that in germany and still have like 1,5€ left
Ok, the bao looked nice but those fried bread egg and chive pancakes looked absolutely incredible and satisfying.

Go to Canton 8 if you're still there! The Runan Street location is a 2 michellin star restaurant but only costs around

Every time I go to Shanghai the fried buns are always my first meal.
Clement what awesome deals you found and so fresh! Wow😮
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 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
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.
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 :)
I love your videos man keep up the amazing work❤❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏

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😂
Wow this looks amazing!

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 love this guy’s face when he tasting the food 😂😂😂
Bro made the impossibru face. Epic....
I love how excited you are about food.
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 😂
you went over budget though you said $4 and spent $4.25.
The pork buns are literally mouth watering! (!Must Try!)
Shanghai is so beautiful! Went before and would go again
It's a price way more affordable than in the USA right now
Those look delicious 🤤😋
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!!!
It's the humidity that gets you.
I'm getting hooked on your videos ye do them very well
My first thoughts were "$4 ain't getting me ANYTHING, yet alone GAS!!!"
Your awesome and awesome video be safe out there
This guys happy face brightens my day! Damn I wanna go eat these foods now
Wow this looks awesome
Those pork buns sound awesome!!❤
Your awesome be safe out there
I love that bread OMG 🤯 loved living in China for a few months
Father's side of the family is from Shanghai. Absolutely love their breakfast foods
Bro counted in the extra .25 cent for future inflation 🤣
Those pancakes are always amazing and very comforting food.
Whenever I buy frozen pork buns I always steam them and then crisp up the bottom in a pan, makes them so much better
Meanwhile 4$ dollars in America will only get you a candy bar 😂
Shenjian are soo good. My grandfather makes such amazing ones.
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
They will have to roll me out of there ❤
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
You eat such great food. I want to go to Shanghai!
Mexico, Italy, china, Korea, Germany, Ethiopia are peak food to me
Omgggggggg looks so good
You should make this a series for every country across the world
$4 won’t cover my gas to pull out of my driveway in USA. 😂
Are you driving a diesel locomotive? 😂
Nice it looks so good
Honestly Chinese cuisine is super comforting in general
Chinese food is my absolute favorite food I would be in Food bliss here
WOAH I need to visit CHINA!!!!
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.
Oh dear! 😭
Swiss lady in Singapore (Swizzyinsg) often posts YT shorts on cost comparisons between Spore and Switzerland.
I guess she's very happy there in one of the most expensive cities in the world!
Wow, really cool!

$4 in US cant even get you a drink 😂
Singapore is like Shanghai, it is an expensive city but there is cheap food if you know where to find them like hawker centres.
That looks so freaking good I need to go there someday
i am drooling it looks so good
Man had my mouth drooling and my my mum🤤🤤
Delicious 😊
I love how we can see how you really enjoy the food
Yummy, just like the scallion pancake in Tiawan
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) 😂
Me watching this while fasting 😖😖
My mouth is watering so badly right now🤤🤤🤤🤤

These are insanely overpriced in Toronto. Get your full while you are in Shanghai
Right! And Shanghai is also an expensive city 🔥
The most expensive city of China is Hong Kong, most expensive city of MAINLAND China is Shanghai lol
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
oh my goodness yummy ❤
All ya need is local.😊😊😊
That is why im never going to Shanghai but instead Vietnam/Thailand. There you can get a whole buffet for less than a buck lol.
Love the food at all places you go to❤
Blessing ❤
Delicious 😋
That looks so delicious ❤❤❤
Wow I'm moving to Shanghai in Auckland $4 doesn't even buy you a McDonald's Happy Meal....actually I think they're like 7-8 now 😂❤
He’s so good

I wished more peopel would appreciate Chinese tradition😢
That's a shame. Younger generation prefer white-collar jobs and don't want to take over parents' trade...
So, that culinary skill is lost forever! 😭

wow 😳 yummy 😋😊🎉
Das that soul food that’s makes people love places like Shanghai
idc if its expensive im just tryna eat it
Lol American tourist be like
Shanghai is a very good city
Egg and chives pancakes are sooooo tasty dude (extremely underrated too. Coming from a Chinese herself: check it out!!!)
Omg i almost thought you were jim kwik 😂 his video have been recently popping up in my shorts so...
