Why are so many people complaning about why is she a chinese and that she has her username with made in japan in it. She grewup in america, spoke japanese and lived in japan for quite an amount of time and she never said that she lived in china or was born in china. Not all chinese are born or raised in china -_-" and when she say "Emmy eats china" it means that she is eating sweets and snacks ALL THE WAY FROM CHINA. Understood? Ok
Should you listen carefully, Emmy admits to being born and raised in the USA of parents from Burma but who are Chinese. She does not speak Chinese. She and her husband went to Japan and lived there for two years if my memory serves me correctly. During that time she had a son and that encouraged her and her husband to move back to the country of her birth. Listen and you will hear her admit she only started to speak Japanese when in Japan. The concept she adopted "emmymadeinjapan" originated while she was in Japan and her first videos were made there. 'nuf sed.
I've been watching your videos for about 2 hours now. You're absolutely delightful to watch! your voice is so soothing and calm, and your reactions are so genuine! You are incredibly knowledgeable and you have a way with words and I think that's why I find your videos addictive! Keep being yourself! Love from a new subscriber!
I'm glad you made this video. My little sister is Chinese American herself. My family adopted her, and while this country is her home now, we encourage her to experience parts of her roots and to maintain some connection to her heritage. I think she'd really love to try some of these treats, I'll have to try looking them up.
It's not my first time watching your videos, but I've just noticed how sweet, delicate and soothing your voice is. I think I could listen to you talk about sweets to my sleep. I hope that doesn't sound creepy. ^_^
Have you watched the one's she's done with her brother? They're clearly both very sweet people. She says here she comes from a non-traditional household. I would like to know more about that.
Hi, Emmy, the cookie you had its called Ji Zai Bing(baby chicken cookie) in Chinese, but it actually has no chicken inside but a bit of pork and different spices, it's originally from Canton :)
hi emmy, the cookie you mentioned earlier it is called ''kai zai pieng" in chinese dialect known as cantonese, while in english it shall be called as chicken cookie perhaps? okay, the cookie is made from mixing dough of pork lard and also some kind of bean curd paste "南乳" or "nam yu", there the savoury flavour comes from. hopefully i may help a little bit here... p/s: if i am not wrong the fans is an ex-hongkie who migrated to canada, because what i heard from your pronounciation isnt chinese while is another dialect of chinese which is cantonese as i mentioned earlier... fans from Malaysia with love, chiawen
i am chinese, but born and raised in the west part of china. so those snacks you've showed in the clip i haven't never tried before. i googled some of those snacks, such as 鸡仔饼, which is your loved most, and all kinds of 酥..., and i found that each snack had a beautiful stories about how they had been created and how to cook.. these stories are so fascinating and remarkable...
The mystery cookies are called Kai Chai Paeng in Cantonese. This means little chicken biscuits. They are usually made with pork oil or small pork fat globs ( hence Emmy saying they had a taste of cha siu bao to them ). I have been told that the modern Kai Chai Paeng lack the tastiness of the one of people's Hong Kong youthful experiences and some bakers even substitute the pork fat out. All versions of these cookies I have had are "duck beat may hoh" (exceptionally delicious) as the say in Cantonese and hard to resist only eating one or two.
tomdoh345 you can say duck beat mei hou as well. The two words mei hou / hou mei can be interchangable.. chinese is weird that way hahaha - an american born in HK.
I live in Taiwan now for the next year and if you can find it then I suggest (it's kinda like a rice cake/pineapple cake style) and they're really sweet. Also my random fact is that "tomato ketchup" actually comes from a different sauce in Hong Kong which was called cai-sup and it was changed in the USA to make "Ketchup" which comes from Cantonese! ^~^
People don't realize it, proper English is a dying here, but the word In English is actually catsup! Ketchup is a coined term from when it began being commercialized. It's exact origin is unknown to me, but that's something most Americans don't even know & it's a pity! Anyways, the word catsup is very close to it's Cantonese origin! Which explains a lot, where as ketchup makes no sense haha
For all you guys saying her name says she's Japanese that's not true. She probably meant that she was showing stuff made in japan because at the time she made this channel she might have been doing stuff in japan only. ( and it's catchy ) XD
what difference does it make--enjoy the show and stop nit picking---maybe its just a whimsical title for her show--though she did study there for 2 yrs and maybe started it there.
I wonder if she serves snacks at her household, and there's bite marks out of a few of the snacks XD That would be funny. Though I doubt that wold happen. In any case, I wonder if emmy would do Alaskan snacks? I know that it's apart of the USA, but we have quite a bit of odd snacks when concerned with the sweet side. Such as Aqutaq, or what a lot of people out of state would call "baked Alaska". Though the Aqutaq tastes a bit different.
That packet that you've asked, its read as Ji Zai Bing. It contains alot of spice like Five Spice. Sometimes it may contain soy sauce and molasses too. The sugar caramelises in the cookie and really complements the spices and savoury side of the cookie.
I think you are very inspiration you make me want to get these items because of your amazing voice and knowledge. I have watched all of your videos and I think you have came a long way over the years and I wish and hope for the best for you. Bye love you Emmy
Hi Emmy! I'm Chinese & I really like moon cakes & I'm very happy that you are also Chinese. I hope those were good cause I have never tried the others before & I wish I could try them. Anyways Have a good day!
You help up that yellow preserved fruit and I instantly knew what it was! No idea what it's called but I've had it before and the whole time I was screaming "just put the whole thing in your mouth and spit out the pit!"
The 'butterfly' cookie you ate in this video is called (in french) a 'palmier'. While in culinary school I made them. Its puff pastry that is shaped and cut in a specific manner. When placed in the oven the pastry puffs up and it looks like a butterfly or elephant ear. The same pastry for palmiers is also used for the french desert millefeuille..
+Annie Yu I'm late on this but in a video (I cont remember which) she explains it. It was originally supposed to be a channel for crafts and things of that sort that she made while in Japan. Not that she herself was made there. Though I do agree it is rather misleading.
You are right about the layering process. It's called laminating. A slab of dough is topped with either a whole block of butter that's been pounded flat (but still quite thick), or butter that's been mixed (with a little bit of flour to absorb excess water), and spread on the dough. The dough is folded to envelop the butter, then chilled, folded, chilled, folded, usually about three to six times depending on the folding method. It is important to keep the dough and the butter the same consistency so that the butter doesn't crack inside the dough and disrupt the layers. The butter shouldn't melt. After the final fold, the dough is rolled out thin, then shaped for whatever is being made (croissants are a famous example). They go into a hot oven, and as the butter melts it releases stem, which is what lifts the dough layers to create the flaky layers. If the oven is too low, the butter melts out onto the pan, and the pastry will be bread-like. They can also be baked from frozen. Sorry that was so in depth, I went through pastry school =).
Mmm moon cakes! I am British Chinese and I grew up eating a lot of moon cakes as my birthday is not long before the moon festival, they now do a more modern version of a moon cake, where the outside pastry is ice cream, if you can find it, you need to try it!
I have to say, that the first thing i do when i go somewhere is to eat traditional food, and specially deserts, I love it that you brought it all into your home! :D
Soja So She is not a "wannabe Japanese" her channel name would like to imply that she "made *things* in Japan" and not imply that she was conceived in Japan.
I work with a Chinese family and they are like my second family so I really loved this video! Because of their broken english, I almost never know what ingredients are in the random snacks and foods they share with me. I have always wondered what the center of the moon cake was! Also that dried fruit reminded me of the time I was given a dried, salted olive without warning. I'll never forget the surprise that washed over me as I thought I was eating a sweet fruit and it turned out to be an olive....
Hey Emmy, yeah the butterfly cookie is a french one (or more generally a european one cause we find it in Germany and in Spain too), called "biscuit Palmier", it's an old fashioned treat, very easy to make and sooo delicious ! I ate a lot of those cookies when I was a child :3
Scrolling over your avatar you have this quote as your channel description: "Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well. : Voltaire." Good words to remember. :)
Not really. Sugars are carbohydrates which we need. Too much can be deadly and too little can also be deadly. It's just how much you take in. Carbs can be find everywhere even in simple vegetables and fruits like potatoes and bread! Lol isn't that ironic ?
wow great personal info Emmy (Chinese cool). love how when you like something you take that second bite and have that great response. and always love your endings, so cool.
Butterfly (wu deep) cookies = (French) Palmiers. 'Fried bits cookie' is 'ma tsai' made from flour, egg, oil, sugar, deep fried & combined with syrup to hold it together. Chan pei is good for when you have lots of phlegm or a cough. Supposed to be soothing for the throat. Mystery cookie is a 'kai tsai ('little chick') beng. The chewy bits are pork fat & that taste is fermented bean curd, the red type. Next one is indeed almond cookie, traditional recipes use pork fat to make it more fragrant.
***** It is somewhat limited, but it's actually not very serious. You unfortunately can not watch TH-cam in China. There's still a wide variety of websites you can go on, and they have their own version of TH-cam called Youku.
Olivia Angela Not Instagram or Twitter XD You can use FB, Google and TH-cam with an installation of this one program (don't know what its called, but I know it works).
The chinese bakery that I usually frequent, sells those little pig pastries as well, but the inside has a lotus root filling, or red bean paste sometimes. They're so yummy!
I love Chinese pastries. When I lived on the west coast, both San Francisco and Seattle, (not at the same time) I found Chinese bakeries and splurged on these things when I could. I also love Mexican pastries. I like that they're not overly sweet. I enjoy the unfamiliar flavors, too, some more than others. Now and then I'd find something I recognized, like orange, pineapple, or coconut. I developed a taste for lotus bean paste and whatever some of the other pastes are, I still don't know. I love tahini so much I learned to make my own.
I love the subtle eye twitch at 6:30. To me, that makes your reactions that much more personable and relate-able... going along well with "I don't know what I'm eating" :D
Your butterfly cookies look to be very similar to the French palmier cookies, and you were right, they're made very much like croissants or puff-pastry: layers of dough between layers of butter/shortening, with sugar and spices interspersed. You can find them sometimes at Costco.
My 13 year old Chinese born daughter got a bunch of diy Japanese candy making kits, started watching several youtube channels(yours included) to learn how to make them. She is now into all things Japanese-she is going to be a harajuku girl for Halloween and wanted bento supplies for Hanukkah! Oh, and we have made a couple of trips to the Korean store for Japanese snacks...fun!
Emmy confuses me she says that she's not Japanese yet her TH-cam name has madeinjapan in it.she can read Japanese but not Chinese yet she says she's Chinese
She lived in Japan for a while and started out making TH-cam videos whilst there, hence 'made in Japan'. I don't know if she studied Japanese but I assume she had to learn some for daily life whilst there.
My husband and I always say it because we're thankful for our food. You say words them because you mean them. It's like saying 'please' or 'thank you' and not being English; it's ok. :)
It is so funny that they are called butterflys in China. In Germany you get them like this or like a bigger pastry with chocolate on top, and they are called "Piggy Ears" (Schweineöhrchen).
you are AWESOME!!! i enjoy that you are like, one of the only reviewers that chew with their mouths closed because it bothers me if people dont. idk why though
Hi Emmy, I am German by heritage and cannot speak many words from my mother country. When my dad got upset he would let out a few German words. We, the kinder dare not repeat for fear it might be bad. I totally understand you not being able to speak Chinese. Hope you get some treats from Germany. Have had some chocolate from a great, great, great uncle many yrs ago.
The cookie at 11:02, it's called "雞仔餅", literally translated as "little chicken biscuit". It doesn't contain any chicken though. I think it's named that because it looks like a little chick in shape. It's made of flour, lard, sugar, salt, spices and nut.
Emmymadeinchina has a nice ring to it. XD Plus, I always see products say "made in China" on them (literally everywhere) so I think people would recognize it. And also, I eat those exact same lotus seed mooncakes!! My mom would cut them into quarters because one was too much to eat at a time. Oh, and I also eat those butterfly, almond, and fried bits cookies often, I love them.
Hi Emmy I guess you forgot the most renowned and traditional Orion Pie from Beijing. The big box has a perfect presentation with holographic box with 30 units with something like chilean "guaguitas" covered in chocolate and filled with soft cream.
I did not expect the similarities to Mexican foods. Everyone has chahyotes(?) where my parents are from. Puerquitos(the pig-shaped bread) are also common, and taste just like Emmy described.
Do you know mahua ? I think it's spelled like that, it's a fried bread which looks like a braid, the dough is salty but it's sprinkled with sugar. I've been told it is typically cooked in spring in China (I might be wrong). It is delicious, my friends and I love it
I'm so glad I found your channel. I subscribed the other day and I've been watching and liking vids. You are so pleasant and make this a fun experience. I love trying things from around the world. I never knew watching someone else enjoy different things could be so fun. I want to try so many of these things now.
I created my channel when I was living in Japan. My husband & I had moved to Japan to work & I just wanted to share the things I made while I was there. My first video was a tutorial on how to make a moss ball. The rest is history. :)
my employer's from china and they brought me back a beef flavored tofu that was vacuum sealed - it was really good ^_^ hopefully someone brings you some but yea moon cake is something i really love
My favorite Chinese dessert is nian gao. I like the mooncakes with the dry shredded pork and nuts in them better than the lotus/duck egg yolk kind, but I never see them in the states and I have only had them once when someone brought them back from Harbin.
10:35 That's 鸡仔饼, direct translated as "Chick Cookie". It's a very traditional cookie made with the usual sugar, flour, peanuts, walnut, egg yolk and the most importantly, fats. Traditionally, it's made with fats, I'm guessing nowadays some use oil instead which is a healthier choice. But of coz, those taste nothing like the traditionally made ones. It's more of a savory cookies. My fav when I was a kid.
Mm I love those pineapple shortbreads i have a few in my pantry right now actually! I actually tried the savoury biscuits too when I went back to china to visit relatives, and I personally didn't like them that much, I found them a bit lardy. I was surprised how many things in china I couldn't tell beteeen sweet and savoury pastries! Most were good, I had this super sweet pork pastry, which has like mincemeat in it almost, it was really nice.
i've been watching your videos like about an hour ago... and you got a new follower...!!! I'm from Honduras, and its gonna be so much fun sent you a package full of sweets and snacks from here!
i have eaten that fruits when we was in saudi arabia we used to go to a park named salam park there we seen its tree on hil like thing when its flowers are blooming they are just soo beautiful !! but I THINK THIS IS HALF RIPEN GOLDEN DATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6 min mark, that is what we call a Loquat. I love them but I've never had one dried. They grow quite well and w/out care in south Texas, probably not at all in new england. They are a semi tropical thing.
Hi, Emmy! These are the things that you are unfamiliar with: -"mystery dried fruit"=Chinese preserved/dried olive -"fried bits cookie"=sachima;basically chinese rice crispy but made with puffed rice pieces. -"mystery cookie"= 雞仔餅, direct translation would be 'chick cookie'. its a very traditional cookie where it is originated from servants who worked in the palace and used the leftover ingredients in the kitchen to make a sweet-salty cookie. most cookies contain wintermelon and chinese sausage

Why are so many people complaning about why is she a chinese and that she has her username with made in japan in it. She grewup in america, spoke japanese and lived in japan for quite an amount of time and she never said that she lived in china or was born in china. Not all chinese are born or raised in china -_-" and when she say "Emmy eats china" it means that she is eating sweets and snacks ALL THE WAY FROM CHINA. Understood? Ok
Thank you.....well said....I LOVE watching Emmymade.......

'nuf sed.
I don’t think people understand her videos. She tries food all over the world. And America.
I never said I was. :) My created my channel when I lived in Japan, so naturally everything I made was "made in Japan" hence the name.
I'm sure some of you are shocked at the revelation of her heritage but somehow we will pick up the pieces and continue on with our lives.
I've been watching your videos for about 2 hours now. You're absolutely delightful to watch! your voice is so soothing and calm, and your reactions are so genuine! You are incredibly knowledgeable and you have a way with words and I think that's why I find your videos addictive!
Keep being yourself! Love from a new subscriber!
Thank you :) and welcome to Emmymade in Japan.
I totally agree with you!!
Guys she is Chinese But she named herself emmymadeinjapan because she lived in Japan for some years.
I'm glad you made this video. My little sister is Chinese American herself. My family adopted her, and while this country is her home now, we encourage her to experience parts of her roots and to maintain some connection to her heritage. I think she'd really love to try some of these treats, I'll have to try looking them up.
It's not my first time watching your videos, but I've just noticed how sweet, delicate and soothing your voice is. I think I could listen to you talk about sweets to my sleep. I hope that doesn't sound creepy. ^_^
She has to be my favorite TH-camr on here, she always describes something to where you can understand a little bit more about.
Have you watched the one's she's done with her brother? They're clearly both very sweet people. She says here she comes from a non-traditional household. I would like to know more about that.
I love that you always eat animal-shaped things head first-- to put them out of their misery. :D
Strangely enough, I never assumed you were Japanese. I never really even thought about it.
i thought you were Japanese all along Emmy!! haha anyway it's a wonderful surprise that you're Chinese as well. ^_^
I love how beautifully she describes the flavours.. ( which makes me hungry while watching her 😝 )
Me and my uncle use to eat the butterfly cookies together before he passed. Love memories like that.
Hi, Emmy, the cookie you had its called Ji Zai Bing(baby chicken cookie) in Chinese, but it actually has no chicken inside but a bit of pork and different spices, it's originally from Canton :)
The mystery fruit is a dried olive known as ga lang
hi emmy, the cookie you mentioned earlier it is called ''kai zai pieng" in chinese dialect known as cantonese, while in english it shall be called as chicken cookie perhaps? okay, the cookie is made from mixing dough of pork lard and also some kind of bean curd paste "南乳" or "nam yu", there the savoury flavour comes from.
hopefully i may help a little bit here...
p/s: if i am not wrong the fans is an ex-hongkie who migrated to canada, because what i heard from your pronounciation isnt chinese while is another dialect of chinese which is cantonese as i mentioned earlier...
fans from Malaysia with love,
chiawen
i am chinese, but born and raised in the west part of china. so those snacks you've showed in the clip i haven't never tried before. i googled some of those snacks, such as 鸡仔饼, which is your loved most, and all kinds of 酥..., and i found that each snack had a beautiful stories about how they had been created and how to cook.. these stories are so fascinating and remarkable...
Finally another Chinese person who can only speak English, I'm not the only one yay!!
Heres one
The mystery cookies are called Kai Chai Paeng in Cantonese. This means little chicken biscuits.

I mean "duck beat hoh may" or "duck beat hoh sik". May Hoh could be a person but "hoh may" always means delicious.
tomdoh345 you can say duck beat mei hou as well. The two words mei hou / hou mei can be interchangable.. chinese is weird that way hahaha
- an american born in HK.
As a Chinese myself I think Emmy made in Japan sounds way better than "Emmy made in China."
she calls her show that as the show was made in japan--or started there.
I know, right? People are so thoughtful & generous. :) The cheese version sounds to die for.
I live in Taiwan now for the next year and if you can find it then I suggest (it's kinda like a rice cake/pineapple cake style) and they're really sweet. Also my random fact is that "tomato ketchup" actually comes from a different sauce in Hong Kong which was called cai-sup and it was changed in the USA to make "Ketchup" which comes from Cantonese! ^~^
Thanks for the info! that's neat!

Nah, I bet her parents were in Japan about 9 months before she was born. :D
Her name says emmymadeinjapan because she used to live in Japan when she started her channel
>;3 yes i know. i found out like a few videos ago but thank you for informing me (:
*****
silly goose ^_^
what difference does it make--enjoy the show and stop nit picking---maybe its just a whimsical title for her show--though she did study there for 2 yrs and maybe started it there.
You're doing it so professional... probably the most professionally on youtube. LIKE IT
I wonder if she serves snacks at her household, and there's bite marks out of a few of the snacks XD That would be funny. Though I doubt that wold happen.
In any case, I wonder if emmy would do Alaskan snacks? I know that it's apart of the USA, but we have quite a bit of odd snacks when concerned with the sweet side. Such as Aqutaq, or what a lot of people out of state would call "baked Alaska". Though the Aqutaq tastes a bit different.

Wow this whole time I thought you were Japanese!
I know, I did too!!
I think you are very inspiration you make me want to get these items because of your amazing voice and knowledge. I have watched all of your videos and I think you have came a long way over the years and I wish and hope for the best for you. Bye love you Emmy
Hi, Emmy, the yellow little fruit you were eating it's Chinese dried flavored olive :)
Emmy , you are a treasure and one of the best things of TH-cam.
HUSBAND??? DAMMIT!!
Ikr :(
Hi Emmy! I'm Chinese & I really like moon cakes & I'm very happy that you are also Chinese. I hope those were good cause I have never tried the others before & I wish I could try them. Anyways Have a good day!
The biscuit at 11:00 , packaging literally translate into little chicken biscuit
You help up that yellow preserved fruit and I instantly knew what it was! No idea what it's called but I've had it before and the whole time I was screaming "just put the whole thing in your mouth and spit out the pit!"
its preserved olive ;)
The yellow fruit is olive
yes, it is. and most time a little bit hard to bite for kids. XD. I love it when I was kid.
It's an olive? I thought it was a Chinese date or jujube.
I was so anxious XP thank you

uh, wut? haha.
when she started this channel she lived in Japan. I think she hasnt gotten around to change it.
But her channel is called "emmyMADEinjapan" so it kinda is misleading? She even has a Japanese manner

She may be Chinese, but maybe she was conceived in Japan...
Andria Fisher she lived there a while when she started the channel. She has never lived in China though. And I think her parents lived in Burma.

Here in Brazil the palmier it's popular too
Scrolling over your avatar you have this quote as your channel description: "Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well. : Voltaire." Good words to remember. :)
It's a good thing there aren't as much sugar in traditional Chinese sweets. Sugar is the worst thing to have happened to our health.
It's natural to seek sweetness. The Apple of Wisdom was sought out because there was a seeked profit after eating it.
that's right
Zyphera
That's not how you spell caffeine. Confound the caffeine!
Not really. Sugars are carbohydrates which we need. Too much can be deadly and too little can also be deadly. It's just how much you take in. Carbs can be find everywhere even in simple vegetables and fruits like potatoes and bread! Lol isn't that ironic ?
Zyphera Besides crack and ebola
wow great personal info Emmy (Chinese cool). love how when you like something you take that second bite and have that great response. and always love your endings, so cool.
Not Japanese?!?! Mind blown :-)
Your subscriber really put some heart into it! Man I wish I got all those snack! Those are all traditional pastry coming from some good brands!!!
Can I hire you to read comic books to me at night
+FloridaSkarers LOL 😂😂😂😂
"And I'm back to eat another country." This is adorable and hilarious.
"I never claimed to be Japanese" [gives side eye to username "emmy made in japan"]
Maybe Emmy was... you know, made in Japan! :D
it's Emmymade in Japan" because in her old videos she was in Japan.
It was just a joke, guys

***** It is somewhat limited, but it's actually not very serious. You unfortunately can not watch TH-cam in China. There's still a wide variety of websites you can go on, and they have their own version of TH-cam called Youku.
GOD BLESS EAST TURKISTAN
FREEDOM TO EAST TURKISTAN
+Macdom The internet in china is limited, you cant go on TH-cam, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Google
Olivia Angela Not Instagram or Twitter XD You can use FB, Google and TH-cam with an installation of this one program (don't know what its called, but I know it works).
From singapore here, the dried orange peel is my favourite dried peel! omg its so good, my grandma always offer them to me since I was younger! Yummy.
isn't chayote a spanish squash..?
Yeah it like light green
The chinese bakery that I usually frequent, sells those little pig pastries as well, but the inside has a lotus root filling, or red bean paste sometimes. They're so yummy!
what? i thought you speak Japanese too? so you are actually chinese who grew up in usa but lived in japan before for a long period of time? 0.0
I love Chinese pastries. When I lived on the west coast, both San Francisco and Seattle, (not at the same time) I found Chinese bakeries and splurged on these things when I could. I also love Mexican pastries. I like that they're not overly sweet. I enjoy the unfamiliar flavors, too, some more than others. Now and then I'd find something I recognized, like orange, pineapple, or coconut. I developed a taste for lotus bean paste and whatever some of the other pastes are, I still don't know. I love tahini so much I learned to make my own.
if you're Chinese how come you called yourself emmymadeinjapan????
Keila Rodas Reyes I think it's because she was living in Japan when she created her channel, or something along those lines. Don't quote me on it.
Kylee Wallace Oh i see lol
I wish I never saw this video! I feel so USED!!
Budcalledkind you just want to be used
Kylee is right, Emmy confirmed in a video that she named this channel while she was living in Japan, and it's before she began tasting countries.
I love the subtle eye twitch at 6:30. To me, that makes your reactions that much more personable and relate-able... going along well with "I don't know what I'm eating" :D
I thought you are Japanese Emmy
She grew up in Japan but isn't Japanese.
She's said in past videos that she grew up in the States then years later moved to Japan to live for a while, so she didn't grow up in Japan. :)
Your butterfly cookies look to be very similar to the French palmier cookies, and you were right, they're made very much like croissants or puff-pastry: layers of dough between layers of butter/shortening, with sugar and spices interspersed. You can find them sometimes at Costco.
If you're Chinese, why is your user name EmmyMadeInJAPAN?
My 13 year old Chinese born daughter got a bunch of diy Japanese candy making kits, started watching several youtube channels(yours included) to learn how to make them. She is now into all things Japanese-she is going to be a harajuku girl for Halloween and wanted bento supplies for Hanukkah! Oh, and we have made a couple of trips to the Korean store for Japanese snacks...fun!
Emmy confuses me she says that she's not Japanese yet her TH-cam name has madeinjapan in it.she can read Japanese but not Chinese yet she says she's Chinese
She lived in Japan for a while and started out making TH-cam videos whilst there, hence 'made in Japan'. I don't know if she studied Japanese but I assume she had to learn some for daily life whilst there.
Bee oh thank you for your reply that really does make sense now
The butterfly cookies look like mini elephant ears! :3 they look yummy :P
My husband and I always say it because we're thankful for our food. You say words them because you mean them. It's like saying 'please' or 'thank you' and not being English; it's ok. :)
I'm an American. Thanks for watching. :)
It is so funny that they are called butterflys in China. In Germany you get them like this or like a bigger pastry with chocolate on top, and they are called "Piggy Ears" (Schweineöhrchen).
you are so lucky to try all of these treats from all over the world!!!!!:D
You know you are really open with anything you will taste anything even if it's a tiny bite it's so cool that you will try anything
you are AWESOME!!! i enjoy that you are like, one of the only reviewers that chew with their mouths closed because it bothers me if people dont. idk why though
Dried mandrin peels! We have those here in malaysia too. We love to blend-dry them n sprinkle on sliced guavas. It tastes wonderful!
Hi Emmy,
I am German by heritage and cannot speak many words from my mother country. When my dad got upset he would let out a few German words. We, the kinder dare not repeat for fear it might be bad.
I totally understand you not being able to speak Chinese.
Hope you get some treats from Germany. Have had some chocolate from a great, great, great uncle many yrs ago.
The cookie at 11:02, it's called "雞仔餅", literally translated as "little chicken biscuit". It doesn't contain any chicken though. I think it's named that because it looks like a little chick in shape. It's made of flour, lard, sugar, salt, spices and nut.
Emmymadeinchina has a nice ring to it. XD Plus, I always see products say "made in China" on them (literally everywhere) so I think people would recognize it.
And also, I eat those exact same lotus seed mooncakes!! My mom would cut them into quarters because one was too much to eat at a time. Oh, and I also eat those butterfly, almond, and fried bits cookies often, I love them.
Hi Emmy
I guess you forgot the most renowned and traditional Orion Pie from Beijing. The big box has a perfect presentation with holographic box with 30 units with something like chilean "guaguitas" covered in chocolate and filled with soft cream.
I did not expect the similarities to Mexican foods. Everyone has chahyotes(?) where my parents are from. Puerquitos(the pig-shaped bread) are also common, and taste just like Emmy described.
Do you know mahua ? I think it's spelled like that, it's a fried bread which looks like a braid, the dough is salty but it's sprinkled with sugar. I've been told it is typically cooked in spring in China (I might be wrong). It is delicious, my friends and I love it
I'm so glad I found your channel. I subscribed the other day and I've been watching and liking vids. You are so pleasant and make this a fun experience. I love trying things from around the world. I never knew watching someone else enjoy different things could be so fun. I want to try so many of these things now.
My aunt used to make me those piggies every year. I always looked forward to them.
I created my channel when I was living in Japan. My husband & I had moved to Japan to work & I just wanted to share the things I made while I was there. My first video was a tutorial on how to make a moss ball. The rest is history. :)
my employer's from china and they brought me back a beef flavored tofu that was vacuum sealed - it was really good ^_^ hopefully someone brings you some but yea moon cake is something i really love
Exactly. Thanks you. :)
I'm Viet american and I've came to realize that I have had so many Chinese snacks as a kid; instead of Viet snacks. Also thank you for sharing :)
lol Love your reaction to the yellow fruit "Ahh! WOAH. Interesting.."
My favorite Chinese dessert is nian gao. I like the mooncakes with the dry shredded pork and nuts in them better than the lotus/duck egg yolk kind, but I never see them in the states and I have only had them once when someone brought them back from Harbin.
10:35 That's 鸡仔饼, direct translated as "Chick Cookie". It's a very traditional cookie made with the usual sugar, flour, peanuts, walnut, egg yolk and the most importantly, fats. Traditionally, it's made with fats, I'm guessing nowadays some use oil instead which is a healthier choice. But of coz, those taste nothing like the traditionally made ones. It's more of a savory cookies. My fav when I was a kid.
Mm I love those pineapple shortbreads i have a few in my pantry right now actually! I actually tried the savoury biscuits too when I went back to china to visit relatives, and I personally didn't like them that much, I found them a bit lardy. I was surprised how many things in china I couldn't tell beteeen sweet and savoury pastries! Most were good, I had this super sweet pork pastry, which has like mincemeat in it almost, it was really nice.
i've been watching your videos like about an hour ago... and you got a new follower...!!! I'm from Honduras, and its gonna be so much fun sent you a package full of sweets and snacks from here!
the savory cookie taste like Char siu is chicken biscuit, made with some BBQ minced chicken, china also have pork biscuit, they taste quite similar.
i have eaten that fruits when we was in saudi arabia we used to go to a park named salam park there we seen its tree on hil like thing when its flowers are blooming they are just soo beautiful !!
but I THINK THIS IS HALF RIPEN GOLDEN DATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I haven't received it. :( When did you send it?
6 min mark, that is what we call a Loquat. I love them but I've never had one dried. They grow quite well and w/out care in south Texas, probably not at all in new england. They are a semi tropical thing.
Hi, Emmy! These are the things that you are unfamiliar with:
-"mystery dried fruit"=Chinese preserved/dried olive
-"fried bits cookie"=sachima;basically chinese rice crispy but made with puffed rice pieces.
-"mystery cookie"= 雞仔餅, direct translation would be 'chick cookie'. its a very traditional cookie where it is originated from servants who worked in the palace and used the leftover ingredients in the kitchen to make a sweet-salty cookie. most cookies contain wintermelon and chinese sausage
10:36 is 鸡仔饼 (Gai Zai Beng) aka chicken biscuit, although it contains no chicken whatsoever, and it's a very popular Cantonese/Chinese snack! (:
