I'm back in Beijing! A place I used to study and live, so many amazing memories here! But there are so many local snacks I never tried. Today is the day to try some Beijing snacks!

If you said no to the boyfriend question, if feels like the lady is going to introduce you to her son or something lol
Hahaha.. Yes, sometime lying is the best choice.
Chinese people always like asking if others have a boyfriend or girlfriend，if you don‘t ，they are wiling to introduce someone to you，only in China that you can see，cause Chinese people believe that getting married means happy life
@Hafizzz they do. That’s how I got my free apartment
@@a1vin lol
That can't be more true
Nice, finally a sponsor that is relevant to the creator and seems like a good product.
It does make a refreshing change!
no skillshare is the best commercial
Blondie, as a Chinese from Southern China, I also dislike the taste of 豌豆黃 though it looks beautiful. And please do not feel offended when Chinese people ask you if you have a boyfriend, 對象 coz when Chinese people do this , it means they like you and hope you can become one of our family group. Hope you and your German boyfriend both become our family group.
人家在中国这么多年，用得着你说？
@@joshzhou7776 Haha. Never assume. After all, it's just a friendly reminder, not just for Amy but other non-Chinese viewers watching.
How can they become your family group though just wondering? 😅
Family group is not confined to blood line or ethnicity alone. Blondie is about a window for the world to understand China and hopefully for China to look at the world. In a world so divided, Blondie serves as a bridge for a wider family group we call humanity. I am glad to belong to this family too.
放心，北方人也不喜欢，好多北京小吃只有北京人喜欢
Only you could have us craving a massive plate of tripe and sesame sauce 😂 Thanks for taking GO 2 around the Hutongs, great video Amy ❤️
just buy one go2 because Amy‘s video，hope it fits with biking
How many battery you need to bring when you take the video all day?
It's awesome of you guys to support good vloggers on the ground. JaYoe!
Cool stuff
Just ordered one after watching this! Can’t wait to try it out
The last lady is the show boss! She added so much charisma to the ending. I live in Beijing for years but never tried these four combos...
I cried watching this video. Beijing, my hometown. Haven't been back for almost 2 years. The noodles the guy you shared table with while trying the Guotie is called da lu mian 打卤面. It is one of the Beijing's traditional noodles. I remember growing up eating it and zha jiang mian. Thanks for bringing me some lovely memories of Beijing. Love your videos as always!
Ah I’ll have to try 打卤面 myself soon! Hope you’re able to come home soon ❤️❤️
@@BlondieinChina I was going to say that too lol sometimes Beijingness is quite hard to understand
but the subtitles said 炒冷面。
@@BlondieinChina You will love it. It's more of 家常菜，one of the most popular dishes in Beijing and Tianjin. my aunty in-law used to cook it for me all the time. Fun fact, 卤儿is when you cook a dish and put in lots of starch to thickening the sauce, it becomes 卤. Hence, you can make 西红柿炒鸡蛋 as 卤儿. hahaha
@@BlondieinChina I never like the 豌豆黄 as a Beijing born local. It is kind of fermentedly stickiness, foul smell with the texture like mut.
You're so kind, respectful, intelligent...you're lovely to watch! I used to travel all the time and now that I've been sober for a few years and just got my dream job I'm getting inspiration from you!!! Your channel is giving me life! God Bless You:)
Those two Chinese ladies are the highlight of this video. They are so friendly, yet so funny. Hilarious.
Thanks for being an honest TH-camr and doesn't just love everything for the sake of it! And this is the first time I'm actually interested in a sponsored product 😂
SAME. I’ve seen other sponsored products that I also was curious about but this camera is definitely high on the list
There is another salty version of wandou huang that has no grainy taste due to the removal of pea fiber remains, which was only found in a small town in Jiangsu. That is one of my favourite as it still taste pea but as smoothy as any starch jelly. During the Covid-19 lock down I cracked the cooking procedure the salty smoothy type of wandou huang which taste amazing.
Omg need to try that!
Dear Blondie, Hui minority are mostly muslims, (from watching many videos on Hui culture) n back in the old days, even in SEASIAN countries, the locals made peas for desserts by adding sugar, or as a savoury dish. This pea dish is Traditional n l love anything made from peas n beans n nothing too sugary sweet(no white sugar, but brown palm sugar or gula melaka added, would be a healthier substitute). Oh how l missed all the kueh-kuehs in my Singapore, Msia n Indonesia. There are savoury n sweet dessert varieties in SE Asian countries. This brings back memories of local kueh-kuehs in Singapore, Msia n Indonesia. These peas cakes/kueh kueh are loaded with proteins for those who are vegetarian or on religious grounds! Love that millet gruel with sesame sauce, Blondie, with all due respect, you should have stir n mixed the sauce into the millet gruel n eat it The whole idea of eating that millet gruel(hope its 100% millet n no cornstarch added to it), is to mix the sauce(salty sesame sauce, great combination to the millet gruel) in it n eat it, otherwise you dont get the proper taste! I know l would love it. Millet is such a nutrient-rich food, n a warm hearty-filled-dish for hot n humid Beijing(but in summer, serve cool or chilled would be delicious n refreshing/dessert like)n sesame contains Vit E. I hope you didnt waste all that nutritious food! I guessed each has her/his own preference n taste. I think your mom would love the millet gruel too!
Anyway, l have always enjoy your lovely, fun, educational n interesting video. Looking forward to more! Thank you.
@@cupcakechronicles4551 Thank you for this easy to prepare recipe, will do that for this coming Autumn n winter!
To me, a good wan dou Huang has the mouth feel of lotus paste you get in mooncakes. If it is too grainy, it's not a great quality. I love it though, I think the subtle sweetness and a slight almost nutty flavour gives it a unique experience. Sadly can't get it atm as outside China :(
@@wangpaochen8569 I believe you are referring to ASEAN i.e. Association of South East Asian countries instead of SEASIAN countries.
The camera is non-intrusive. Love the content you've been putting off!
Amy hi, thanks for a well-edited and interesting story. You've instantly and single-handedly tamed your new camera. I used to follow The Food Ranger video whilst he lived in Chengdu. I am quite happy that I've stumbled upon your channel.
Wow you have made very good use of that insta 360! The footage you took looks clear and the gadget seems convenient.
Another lovely video from Miss Amy :D Honestly i love the vibe of your videos always brings a smile to my face :)
Thank you for trying Wan Dou Huang for the second time and gave it a chance. I appreciate your effort and honesty. I've never tried this dish, it looks good though. When I'm in Beijing again I might also try it. Greetings from Holland
This was thoroughly enjoyable, love all of the shots and time lapses, looks so fun!
I’m from Beijing and live in New Zealand now,your videos make me serious homesick. Thanks for sharing this amazing video.BTW,wan dou huang is one of my favorite snacks 😂
😄 Funny. Enjoyed watching, especially the locals’ reaction, really friendly! 🙌🏻👍😛😋😊
Awesome video Amy! All the food looks delicious 😋 hope I could try them someday! Take care and stay safe 👋🏻👋🏻😄
just found your channel and wow i love your positivity and you seem very well educated, respectful and well spoken
Great product and loved the intro and POV perspective! Great hack using the lamppost for the time-lapse footage ;)
That lady sounds like a typical Asian mom 😂 she means well! Hope you enjoy your travels Amy, looks amazing! Also when are you going to reunite with your boyfriend? Can’t wait for an episode of you two together! 😍
My boyfriends relocation to China was delayed 😢😢 so it looks like I’ll be seeing him in another 8 months 😂 eek!
Mom anxious looking gf for her son kind of look....LOL
@@BlondieinChina Tons of traveling away from family and friends and do tons of video taping and editing and having to always project positivity could take a super heavy duty toll on your psychy. Make sure you rest well and connect with your loved ones frequently through video chats. Don't let this job takes away your beautiful spirit just because your audience loves you very much, Amy. Sometimes just drop those gears and simply enjoy your times and meals without that sense of obligation to film should be healing.....I sure hope you already found that balance and peace within you. Cheers.
@@justinliu5061 Are you not asian? Do you have no pride? Do you like watching your girlfriend be with other men?
Edit: Liu I see you've deleted even your replies. I'll repeat what Malcom X once asked: who taught you to hate the color of your own skin to the point of not wanting to associate with your own people? It's important not to confuse circumstance with "nature". If you get robbed for all your money, you're poor because of circumstance and not because you're naturally inferior. A man who lifts weights and diets correctly is stronger than the person who doesn't even try, because of circumstance and not because of nature. If a person teaches their own kids that they will never as good by nature, then that sets them up for failure already and causes a cycle.
The west has had centuries of wealth from looting the world including Asian countries, and they used that wealth to improve themselves and sell their story with all their media and movies.
Don't think about current circumstances, think about the potential of Asians. Don't buy into the racist idea that Asians are inferior. You don't need the respect from others who look down on you. Improve yourself and get better than them, and respect yourself.
@@BlondieinChina I am sorry to hear that Amy🥺 I am also having a long distance relationship. It’s super tough during the pandemic
Hey Amy, have you ever considered about visiting Yunnan someday ? It’s my hometown and the food is well known with its highly various kinds and flavors. I’m currently living in Sydney but I really miss the foods in Yunnan 😭
Amazing! keep up the great videos and amazing food tours, china has some of the best food. I am so jealous you are trying all this in china, would love to go to china again, but travel isn't exactly possible from Australia at the moment.
I really like yr China vlogs & your refreshing style which is better than a lot of others. Subscribed & keep up the good job!
Hahaha. Seems like the auntie was really gunning to play matchmaker. I think she was hoping Amy would potentially become her future daughter-in-law. XD
that's correct!
Exactly.
Aww love that you gave the wan dou huang a second chance!! Such positive energy
i love the way u edit your videos, very professional n nice to watch. keep it up
I love the Vietnamese sweet mung bean paste cake - it looks very similar, but I take it that 豌豆黄 is made from yellow peas rather than mung beans. I think mung beans have a very agreeable, mild flavour which is suitable for sweets.
For Wan Dou Huang, you need to try the one from Fang Shan （仿膳）inside Bei Hai Gong Yuan. Give it one last chance. It's not supposed to be very grainy. Traditionally, this needs to be sifted through many times to achieve the silky smooth texture. It's labour intensive, so it's only served to the royal family. Now days most places don't follow the traditional steps in order to cut down the cost. Even Fang Shan doesn't follow the traditional recipe to the dot, but that's one place should still make it better than most other places since this types of snacks are what this restaurant is known for. That's very unfortunate...
I've always enjoyed Wan Dou Huang when I've tried it; I like the subtlety of the flavour
Awesome video as usual Blondie. I haven’t been to Beijing for about 9 years now but I’m keen to try Guotie next time! I must say you are very adventurous trying so many different types of food! You should get your parents to come over and try food with you. They’re a hoot! 😂 Thanks for sharing!
loved the video! was so much fun to watch and learn from! :)
yay! So happy to hear that!
Lovely Autumn, crystal blue sky and one of the best seasons in Beijing is coming.
It would be remarkable indeed if one loved every dish in a country. China's cuisine is so diverse that inevitably there must be a few dishes one will find unpalatable. I know some people who can't stand curries, black pudding, baked beans, etc.
What? Who are these people?
MAN! I want to go back to China so badly. I haven't been back since I moved 8, 9 years ago?! I lived in Shanghai and Beijing, too, and now feeling so nostalgic for both those cities while I watch your videos. Love your content, Amy! Miss your parents, though! hahah
omg I looooove this video. Havent been to beijing for a couple of years but really missing the food there. My favourite dish is Miancha, love the sesame taste, and second one is 豌豆黄， coz i love jelly and i think 豌豆黄 is the healthier version of jelly. Btw highly recommend 门钉肉饼 it's soooooooooo good
Great video Amy, the editing was awesome. Always done so well and to view a whole different culture is interesting so thanks
Thanks so much!!!
How do you find the camera with regards to transferring files...? Lee Barrett and I were frustrated with the lack of removable storage and battery life. but the rest was awesome.
Hey Matt! I found using the desktop software a lot easier for transferring information. Downloading and editing everything via phone was a bit harder with a larger amount of content. Battery could be better but the portable charging carry case definitely was a nice to have 👍
我靠，豌豆黄儿多好吃啊！我们北京人都喜欢
@@BlondieinChina 我靠，豌豆黄儿多好吃啊！我们北京人打小儿就吃
@@BlondieinChina 另外，爆肚，没有儿话音
@@BlondieinChina 字幕炒冷面错了，应该是:打卤面，锅贴应该加儿化音说成:锅天儿
Love your openness to trying new food 😻
豌豆黄 is the first traditional Chinese dessert I tried to make when I study in Australia, very simple and very easy.
Amy, will you in the future be doing those Chinese city tours like before? Just asking because I really loved them.
Yes definitely! About to leave Beijing on a 21 day filming adventure! Lots of more city/travel/culture content to come ❤️❤️
@@BlondieinChina Cheers! Have fun too!
@@BlondieinChina you should find a geologists team and join a filed trip with them.
We all love you Amy for your love and your honesty.
Blondie in China 可以去一些小县城市，
It's kinda funny to see some of these places I visited years back. I definatly remember the tripe, it was so delicious. Maybe I should fly back to china again for a couple of months this year. It's been a long while.
I like wandouhuang so much! It's pretty fresh and soft and beany lol, probably my favo Beijing snacks. Thank you for showing us Hutong in Beijing, I feel like I go back there with your camera!
hahaha hilarious video! Oof I don't think I had any of those foods before when I become a bit older and travel by myself I definitely have to try out all of your suggestions 🤩

Im planning to go back to my hometown Beijing by the National Day Golden Week and now you make me even more homesick darn it!!
OMG, Baodu is absolutely my favourite..!!! Haven’t been back to Beijing for almost 2 years, your video makes me feel homesick now...:(
Beijing always be called “desert of food“ in China😅
Lol so true 😂 Peking duck is their best original dish though.
Yay Amy is back to Beijing!
highly recommend 门钉肉饼, kind like bum but super juicy and delicious!
ahhyee!!! this is the one comes to my mind as well!!!
Aww, you are so fun! I’m American from Seattle and I lived in Melbourne for 8 years for uni and work. I absolutely love Aussies and their kind, adventurous spirits. You make me want to go back!
I like your show ！I miss Beijing and the food. It’s my home town! I have been Sydney for 31 years! Thanks Amy
推荐Amy去“四季民福”餐馆试试豌豆黄，好吃很多。他家的烤鸭不错，虽然是连锁店，有好几家，但仍然强烈推荐一下！
@chang Eric 认同！还有驴打滚我也超级不爱，还是爆肚、门钉肉饼好吃。
Love your videos!! The guy at 7:39 ordered "Da Lu Mian" 打卤面， not "Chao Leng Mian" so it's not fried cold noodles. Haha
苏格兰打卤面？
@@cyberpunk2978 哈哈哈我也想问的
Huguosi is a street full of memory for me. It literally where I grew up and spent most of my childhood at. There was a place for baodur right across the street from huguosi snack but closed down a couple years ago when I left China to US for schools. Before it went out of business, my family usually go together a couple times a year. I never appreciated the cooking there before knowing it was gone. In my opinion It is one of the best restaurant for Baodur in Beijing based on my sentimental judgement.
Very creative, fun video about one of many favorite Chinese cities. Only thing missing is riding through the hutoung on a 40 year old flying pigeon bike : )
哈哈哈哈遭遇大妈。
But I think you should try 豌豆黄 with some plum juice or plum syrup. The sour taste of plum can neutralize the sticky feeling on your tongue and the over-sweet taste.
Great idea!
但是史铁生的《我的地坛》里，讲他小时候在“仿膳”吃豌豆黄，这给我留下了很深的记忆。所以我一直从心里觉得豌豆黄很好吃，但是每次吃了就又觉得不好吃，这样循环。
史铁生小时候也没什么别的吃的...再一个估计对于他来说豌豆黄不光是一种食物了，还承载着回忆。
我也是实在享受不来豌豆黄
Amy I love your channel, your videos are so down to earth and informative. Hope you will explore the Xi An city someday.
Love from a fan in Malaysia
Xi An is a city in the province of ShanXi.
@@tingwang9465 thanks for the kind info.
Another great video. Insta360 looks very user friendly gadget. The quoti looks so yummy. I will rate that my no. 1 though I haven't tried it haha
Finally I am starting to believe you would say yes to every single chinese food.
大妈is so funny! "Only in China" love your comment, spot on.
Another great episode. Keep it up, Amy.
Thanks Jack!
We warmly welcome you to come
to China! Enjoy the delicious food and beautiful places you meet! It is the gift my country and my city Beijing give!
整个视频中，那个介绍对象的大妈才是经典！😂😂😂
You are a very brave person to try out all this "strange" stuff. I find your videos to be always interesting and informative. Enjoy them very much. Also - done in a professional manner. Keep up the good work. I could never eat the Chinese "delicacies" 😉😂.
You need to jump a well out to see the various things of the world as Amy!
loving the new filming angles!
Thanks Susan!
Hi Amy, Not sure if it can change your mind on Wan Dou Huang, but you can give 仿膳 a try. 仿膳 is a Restaurant located within 北海 Park. Try their Wan Dou Huang.
Always a peaceful and historical walk through the Hutong neighborhood.
We went on a food tour in the hutong in that area and the guide introduced us to a donkey meat restaurant . It was very good, tender meat. Reminded me of a mild pastrami the way they served it to us.
thank you Amy for sharing the food in China to us
That mei you nan peng you opening was hilarious. Occasionally some Chinese are extraordinarily open like that. Spent 6 years there.
Amy if you wants to keep us laughing , go try the “豆汁” 😜
I think that auntie is trying to invite you to the famous TV program in China called “ 门当戶对” 😂
haha
that's a good suggestion , hahahahahaha
Do you have any experience with watching Chinese dramas? (Historical or modern)
Love your channel so much ~ from Canada 🇨🇦❤️
Well, can't wait for your adventure of the world famous Beijing Duck. Hope to see that in your next content. It may sound cliche to have Beijing Duck but I am sure when you are Beijing, it's by default to have that. Maybe you can do it in a way to find a few different restaurants with different style to present it, cook it and eat it. Oh, one more thing.......your laughter is very adorable!
豌豆黄is my best childhood memory, maybe Amy just can not stand the taste.
"They are very excellent" someone's Nana is trying to advertise them lol
Wow终于到北京来了啊。你试的那些小吃很多都是地道老北京才吃的了，很有勇气！我在北京住了快二十年，能接受的只有卤煮和炸灌肠。
Hello Amy, love your videos and the effort you have put into them. Anyway, if you are interested in trying out famous Beijing food that is really really challenging, you can try 豆汁.
man the technology just keeps getting better and better. But also there goes our privacy 💀 cameras gonna be the size of a marble and still be HD quality one day
I think we will keep the mask
Privacy this privacy that, like what are you trying to hide if you intend to expose yourself publicly on the streets. Everyone has the right to see whatever is shown in public. Why are these privacy Andys so concerned about that, as if they were filmed by a hidden camera up skirt when they went to a public toilet.
@@窃·格瓦拉 I agree. If you are in a public place, don't complain if others are filming. If you don't want to be in their film, politely ask them to edit you out. Not hard.
Isn't 豌豆黄 just an pea variation of Hummus? Have been in Beijing for 10 years, only tried it once, not a big fan of 豌豆黄 either.
Does taste like Hummus...
It's kind of like if you took the mushy peas from an English fish and chips shop, strained it through a fine mesh, shaped it into cube and let it congeal over night in fridge. Yeah, not a fan either lol.
I love hummus with garlic n olive oil. Eat it with pita bread or naan, yummy!
exactly
That camera is amazing! Perfect for recording TH-cam walking tours
The pea thing we have in the UK specifically in the North East. It's called pease pudding and you usually have it with ham.
The green tripe is only fed to dogs. You can't even process it in the same facility as meat used for human consumption.
Tripe is the stomach, not the intestines... those are further down. As a white American woman, I'd tell other Westerners to not knock it before they try it. Both tripe AND intestines are tasty. I really like the softer varieties of tripe in either a ginger garlic sauce, spicy sauce, or black bean sauce. You really can't go wrong. The texture can be a little odd if you aren't used to it, but the flavor is amazing.
艾米真的可爱哈哈，谷歌里面茶的吃法完全是整蛊😏，艾米竟然照做了哈哈😄。而我当初告诉一个外国朋友，吃炸酱面必须把碗舔干净后再来一碗面汤😄
i miss china so much, cant wait to go back after the pandemic, thanks for the positive vibe video
打卤面 isn't always cold fried noodles, they’re boiled noodles like regular noodles. And the sauce is what makes them 打卤-its a glutinous sauce with 木耳 and bamboo shoot and other stuff. Really delicious. The same noodles can be served w a black-brown sauce and pork chunks and it’s 杂酱面 which is where korean jajangmian comes from, basically the same product. Or at my house we do it with sliced cucumber and boiled cabbage & soybeans w balsamic vinegar for that beautiful color (i guess that’s the american in me haha but rice vinegar would work for a similar flavor) and you can have garlic smashed and pour vinegar into it, and then dip your noodles in that as well. Or some mix of all three. Very delicious. I think the translation you have is a bit misleading though!
Don't worry Amy, for not liking 豆黃，the Empress Dowager was not a good person! (My great grandfather was the mayor of a town in China but joined the revolution that ended the monarchy system in China)
非得汇报一下政治
Scott Morrison needs your help to solve the trade issue with China as you appears to be the only Australian having positive view on China.
No worries, Scott and his team have found the way to trade with US and India...But, wait and see...
i have never tried Wandouhuang before, but my roommate said it was spectacular. so definitely will give it a go when i come back to Beijing!
only in China…LOL😂
That camera would greatly simplify life for many food TH-camrs. You cut off a few heads with it, but that will improve with familiarity. It seems so honest to admit to not liking some foods.
Hi Amy. I strongly recommend you try 海碗居老北京炸酱面。I think 炸酱面 is one of the representative food in Beijing. 海碗居Its service is more typical of Beijing, but it’s really depends on how many customers are setting inside ~ The more guests, more lively also the more noise. lol
It always makes me envious and mouth-watering to watch Amy eating. In this video I can even imagine she was eating like Empress Dowager Cixi. Ha-ha....
this must be the least enjoyable food adventure so far lol
不好意思大家，我是amy的男友
Planning to visit Beijing during the Chinese National Holiday!
Will definitely try "Guotie" and the "Baodur" ❤️❤️
(Wan Dou Huang ... emm.. might just skip it 😂)
Hi there, the first place you went, 隆福寺，is the exact location for morning market. Quite crowded and local.
I am not sure if it's like before as for the virus.
You have a very strong stomach 😂... I remember you taking the intestine, miancha and earlier on some bean cake or something... yet I don't ever seeing you running to the WC.
Haha they’re all safe to eat! So no problem :) Only dairy makes me run to the WC 😂😂
