Apologies guys! there was an issue on the back end with the audio on this video causing the audio to de-sync. It should be fixed now but please let me know if you have issues! Happy New Year!
Amy and Aleese, not only are you entertaining together, but your friendship is a joy to watch. Cross paths often, ladies, and may the Year of the Rabbit be prosperous and happy for you. 💖
I love your videos. I teach Mandarin in the US. I showed a few of your videos in my class to show the students what China is really alike. Wish and hope there will be more middle school language appropriate videos that I can use in the class. Thank you for all your work.
I love this episode two of CNY special food items. I'm always skeptical of these menus when I see them so far only the mac donalds one is a good to me haha 😂 The fries these year were soo good !
Almost 10 years ago, I ate lunch in Pizza Hut in Hong Kong. It’s set lunch and included soup & bread, main course, dessert and drink that cost me around $10 at that time. 😋😋😋
Happy new year to both of you!!! ❤ So wonderful to see Aleese on here again~ (I just LMAO at the golden tip joke so much) LOL It's always so much fun to see Aleese cracking jokes hahahaha
You two crack me up... you are the dynamic duo of food vloggers... Aleese, it's great to see you here with Amy. It's because of you two introducing your world wide audience to Shake Shack in one of your videos together last year, that I was happy to try it on two occasions in Hong Kong. Aleese, I am with you with black sesame: I love black sesame paste and every thing with it... In Guangdong there is a dessert made with soft tofu and if you add black sesame paste to it, you will be in heaven. In Cantonese: tau fu fa with black sesame. I had the chance to try it in Hong Kong.
The disappointment on your face after the third drink was kind of funny but I’m sorry for that. Lovely video, you two should make more videos together ❤
omg, this was the fastest episode I've gone through cause it was that entertaining... I think Chinese are king at fusing cooking...lol... love the video wish it was more places you guys could have try... lol... speaking for all the Fan's we need a part to of this....
Just watched it again and can't stop giggling wherever Aleese has that "hmm?" moment (like when Amy said "[Pizzahut] is a place where you could come on a date") LOL -- I do think that is a date-able restaurant in China. LOL For the Starbucks drinks, I'd give it 5/5 rabbits for their marketing--just look at the menu and the naming for the products, very creative and playful at the same time--so much so that it tricked Amy into buying 3 drinks (and spent a good 200 rmb there). But in terms of flavour... I have to rely on Amy and Aleese' verdicts on it...1/5 also becoz I don't think fruit flavour mixes well with coffee (unless done right). It's such a fun video and I can't wait to see more collabs between you two!👍
New England is a great place to find seafood pizzas, but I think you would be hard-pressed to find anything like this sausage crust masterpiece. It looks so good!
I could feel the dismay and disappointment in Aleese's voice when she said "This is it for us..." !! Would love to see more collaborations between the two of you! Don't wait another year! :D
Your video has helped me improve my spoken English and I do learned a lot of expression ways from your vlog. Anyway,I wish your channel become more popular in the future!Love u🥰
Nice to see you both together again! How fun love Aleese i subs last year 👍🏼 after that famous episode! I have to say everytime it looks pretty gross! Starbucks is pretty ok in USA and uk (where I live)but in France where I’m from it’s also rank 🤢 It would be nice to see you collab once in a while Have fun Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Aleese's food/drinks review is always much more precise and reliable 👍👍 Yes the famous chains like Pizza hut, kfc, etc.. always suit themselves in each Country local taste. Here in Indonesia we also have that hot dog crust, cheese crust, more pizza variants , side disehes and yea the pizza huts here are fancy as well. There are red sauce and chili sauce bottles on each table too
I also love black sesame and would've ordered it too. Have never tried any coffee with oat milk though! So disappointing that you can't taste any sesame in the coffee itself. Thanks for doing the taste test! It was fun anyway! Happy new year, good wealth and good health to both of you!
Aleese is in place of Derk this time for being abused/challenged by Amy's fearless food adventure. The whole time she was just playing along with it but her eyes said it all: "are you serious?", "ew, I am not sure about this....", "Nope, I've got to put my foot down - I am not eating the seafood side!", "Thank god! This is it for us!" 🤣 You are a comical pair!
Life is reversed trend I immigrated to us back in the eighty back then china was flat broke after two decades china is reshaping and developing in a rapidly pace you videos are very interesting and informative I feel the emotional how my country china had come a long way I'm glad you guys have chill time in china 🇨🇳 😀
as an Italian, thank you for correcting yourself when pronouncing bruschetta hahah really nice pronunciation ! really cool video amy! i love this new year tradition
starbucks, pizza hut are like fancy places in China as the price is similar to those in western world (but the currency of rmb is not as strong as dollars). hence for most ordinary chinese with hard earned money, going to places like these can be quite costly (perhaps on special occasion). having said that, there are always ppl who easily afford these in china, hence on top of that, they may even charge more if they make it a "special theme". To me, I'd rather spend 200 rmb on local street food. but i know ur doing a fun topic for an experiment, its all good :)
Loved this video so much as always!! I was wondering if you'd be able to do a vegetarian food tour at some point? I love watching these videos and would be so happy to see the vegetarian side to local cuisines !!
Wow 😮 I ended up in Taiwan to live through the pandemic and I go to Starbucks all the time. Good wifi and comfortable seating and air conditioning. I always get a latte and cheese cake. The price is about 50 RMB
A one size coffee cost $5.50 plus 11.50% taxes at Flagships Starbucks’ in Chicago @ Michigan avenue . Just coffee, special drink or special coffee cost $12/$15 plus taxes, so is to say Starbucks is expensive in US too, unless you go for Dunkin’s donuts coffee still cost you average $3 plus taxes.
A "golden tips" Starbucks beverage? Legend has it, the baristas concoct this latte using organic golden showers. "It smells like nuts?" "Gonna go in with a big mouthful..." The puns write themselves.
Forget the pizza, I love those little potato stars they do 😂😂 Also the amount of times I’ve accidentally ordered durian pizza thinking it was cheese is embarrassing 😅
"Yeah, it's not bad. You can eat the rest." Ringing endorsement right there? That bamboo shoot chicken sandwich actually reminded me of one of my most frequent pandemic lockdown breakfasts (or late night snacks), which started out as an after-midnight improvisation and worked well enough that I kept making it. Namely, an over-easy egg on a slice of toast, topped with chili oil pickled bamboo shoots and a bit of oyster sauce. I think the chili oil bamboo shoots are more of a Taiwanese thing, different from suansun, but there are probably some similarities in flavor.
There's no way that last fast food video with you and Aleese was a year ago, only felt like last week... Also, loved seeing how you guys unintentionally roasted Starbucks out of existence lol.
follow-up with a burgers kings. there must be more.... Wants part 2 with you and Aleese. (Does chinese have special food, for their take out resturante for the new year?)
I've been to corporate chains in Asia. Some are slightly better that their usa counterparts (even like McDo in france is better than the states) but we are talking small incremental (epsilon small) gains. Say changing a 0 to a 0.5 (on a 5 point scale). Admittedly I would pay like 10 to 20 rmb for a taste @14:01
*@**11:05**:* Wow... a dapanji burger! I have yet to try the real deal! But I've got a reasonably dependable recipe from a cookbook by Phaidon publishing!
All the desserts were sold out at mcdonalds and KFC!!! We were really keen to try the Mcdonalds niangao red bean sundae, and KFC had these pork floss egg tarts! Argh.. got to get in early if you want those new year specials I guess!
Apologies guys! there was an issue on the back end with the audio on this video causing the audio to de-sync. It should be fixed now but please let me know if you have issues! Happy New Year!
I didn’t notice an issue, so it must be fixed!
@@quokkakola1722 ahhhh thank goodness! thanks for letting me know!
@@BlondieinChina when Aussies build it's first nuclear submarines... I already dead.
You got scammed with the burger at mcd - I had that one 1,5 year ago - not seasonal at all
Yep，200RMB is quite a big issue your video let me know，and thanks, so i can avoid that in the future 😹
Amy and Aleese, not only are you entertaining together, but your friendship is a joy to watch. Cross paths often, ladies, and may the Year of the Rabbit be prosperous and happy for you. 💖
I love Aleese’s no holds barred food reviews. We don’t have to wait a full year to see her again!
I love your videos. I teach Mandarin in the US. I showed a few of your videos in my class to show the students what China is really alike. Wish and hope there will be more middle school language appropriate videos that I can use in the class. Thank you for all your work.
Thank you for all your good work too! Sharing love and making peace is the best work there is.
Watching Amy is always funny. Watching Amy and Alesee together is even funnier. Happy New Year of the Rabbit!
pizza hut is so fancy in china that I was shock to see the outdated pizza hut stores and simple menus in the us.
Yam Inc. pretty much gave up the US market.....
Fast foods just way better at Asia than US. Unless Subway, it is just crap everywhere.
Chinese Pizza Hut serves grilled steak on an iron platter (tiny portion though)
Interesting fusion of food concepts and ingredients.
So collaborating with Aleese is the same as Chinese New Year…an annual event! :D
Laughing my lungs out through your Starbucks experience!! Aleese's reactions are hilarious!🤣 You two should do this duo show more often!😍
This was awesome. I love the two of you together. You've got good energy. I hope you do more videos together.

Aleese is so cute! Been watching & smiling (& laughing) thru out my entire watching... love this episode!!
OMG, you guys are hopping from Starbucks to McDonald's to KFC to Pizza Hut on Chinese New Year - Very creative!!
Love the new holiday tradition with Aleese ! This episode funny and lighthearted.
Beef Wellington at Pizza Hut !! I'm confused. LOL

you girls were clearly having fun, lmao. and YES, starbucks reserve shops are ravingly expensive in china, ridiculously expensive!
這集好可愛 滿滿的吃吃吃❤😊
天氣還是很冷戴帽子有辮子真可愛
I could feel the dismay and disappointment in Aleese's voice when she said "This is it for us..." !! Would love to see more collaborations between the two of you! Don't wait another year! :D
hahahah YOU'RE SO RIGHT! I was ready for more!! 🤣
I love these collab videos!!!! Happy Spring Festival! 🐰
I really enjoyed this. You two are great together! I enjoy watching both of your films!
(thanks for the 中文字幕 as always）so I can enjoy and learn!
Aleese!!!! My girl!!! This video was so fun and having her with you made this so much fun to watch.
Your video has helped me improve my spoken English and I do learned a lot of expression ways from your vlog. Anyway,I wish your channel become more popular in the future!Love u🥰
Aleese, you make me miss all my friends back in the US with your personality. It’s always a fresh and funny episode with Amy and Aleese
Nice to see you both together again! How fun love Aleese i subs last year 👍🏼 after that famous episode! I have to say everytime it looks pretty gross! Starbucks is pretty ok in USA and uk (where I live)but in France where I’m from it’s also rank 🤢

I could watch you every day Amy!! You on adventures is 10\10
"I feel like I can eat the whole thing"
"NO, GIVE ME!" 🤣🤣🤣
You guys are so fun.
Great concept and you two are so refreshing to watch, well done girls 👍❤️👏💘
Thank you for sharing!! Love Aleese!! You two are so funny.
Best foodie couple!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
full of fun and love! Happy 2023
that partner belongs to Peter.....
All 3 should be the best trio
I also love black sesame and would've ordered it too. Have never tried any coffee with oat milk though! So disappointing that you can't taste any sesame in the coffee itself. Thanks for doing the taste test! It was fun anyway!
Happy new year, good wealth and good health to both of you!
Oat milk is pretty great milk alternative
There are other festivals/holidays, you don't have to wait another year. This was a really fun video.
I absolutely loved this episode! Aleese was so entertaining with you. Loved it. Loved the honesty! 新年快乐!
You guys are adorable together!
Aleese is lovely and full of life!
Thinking of the 200 rmb spent on Amy's portrait taken in guilin then immediately the 200 rmb spent in Starbucks doesn't seem so bad...😂😂
This is really funky, They serve pork congee with deep-fried dough stick at KFC

Loving these two food critics!❤ Amy and Aleesa you rock...five rabbits!!!🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰
I love when you two do a food tasting video 😍 two awesome ladies
This is really eye opening!
always loved your videos, your positive vibes. keep it up! happy new year to you and your friend. 新年快乐！

What a duo, well done to both, and like Aleese underlines it seems fast food chains in China are something else..... brave.
🤣I need to see you two more often. Can you do this quarterly? 😄
Love the duo dynamic
Ok, so this is great, but when are we getting an Amy, Aleese and Peter video?😅
you with Aleese are so funny, the way you are telling her she can bring her date to PizzaHut and her expression are precious
fav comedy mukbanger duo
This was soooo entertaining to watch lol. AMAZING video!
Such a fun episode to watch. Those Starbucks drinks should be refunded. LOL
Girls , you are amazing 🤩 I spent good time while watching your video ❤
I love Pizza Hut in China. You guys are great, fun food vloggers.
Thank you ladies wonderful podcast and kung hei fat Choi 🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕
love your joint videos, please do more together! (even outside of the traditional chinese new year fast food ones XD)
Spontaneous and enjoyable video , great.
"The taste of danger" Happy New Year!
as an Italian, thank you for correcting yourself when pronouncing bruschetta hahah really nice pronunciation ! really cool video amy! i love this new year tradition
Next episode: Pineapple Pizza
@@CNMtootwgo im okay with that lol i like pineapple pizza

黄飞红花生单独吃其实还不错，就是裹在辣椒里的花生，有点脆有点辣。但跟咖啡搭…也不知道谁想出来的黑暗菜单…
A "golden tips" Starbucks beverage? Legend has it, the baristas concoct this latte using organic golden showers.
"It smells like nuts?"
"Gonna go in with a big mouthful..."
The puns write themselves.
well seems they ain't happy @ the end.... "the worst 200RMB i've ever spent in my life".... maybe the nuts ain't as 'spicy' as they'd hoped
Forget the pizza, I love those little potato stars they do 😂😂 Also the amount of times I’ve accidentally ordered durian pizza thinking it was cheese is embarrassing 😅
do you like the durian pizza? we in south east asian love durian very much!
@@sonofyoutube6248 unfortunately I cannot stand durian, much to the dismay of my boyfriend who is obsessed with it 😂
update ur vlog plz lol
@@sheng9129 hahah we will have a new video out on Sunday! Currently traveling and making new exciting content! 🥰🥰
Loved this video!! We need more collaborations with you two together :)

Great sharing and fun.
Those drinks actually looked like the menu photos.
yous are finally reunited！💚
Pizza hut in Korea is also really fancy! It's also soooo expensive...
US$13 for the Pizza is great deal. In U.S. a small pie like that just with pepperoni is like $18.
There's no way that last fast food video with you and Aleese was a year ago, only felt like last week... Also, loved seeing how you guys unintentionally roasted Starbucks out of existence lol.
Aleese is so cute and adorable, love her
All the fast foods I had are different in China. US UK and Canada.... They are like indepedent to each other.
My favorite is green tea latte or matcha latte = 30 RMB (in Starbucks Taiwan)
Your look went you took a hit of that spicy peanut coffee, totally worth it. haha
新年快乐~Aleese好有趣，可以一起多做视频
follow-up with a burgers kings. there must be more.... Wants part 2 with you and Aleese. (Does chinese have special food, for their take out resturante for the new year?)
The limited menu options for Starbucks, McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut in North America is anemic compared to China's offerings !
Hahahaha Starbucks China: Thank you two very much🙂.
I like the way Amy eat
damn I wanna try that fotiaoqiang pizza, looks so good. outta curiosity, were you the only ones eating pizza with your hands?
I've been to corporate chains in Asia. Some are slightly better that their usa counterparts (even like McDo in france is better than the states) but we are talking small incremental (epsilon small) gains. Say changing a 0 to a 0.5 (on a 5 point scale).
Admittedly I would pay like 10 to 20 rmb for a taste @14:01
Ooh!! I want those Starbucks drinks now!! But lower the prices, please!!
*@**11:05**:* Wow... a dapanji burger! I have yet to try the real deal! But I've got a reasonably dependable recipe from a cookbook by Phaidon publishing!
No strange desert this year?😂 Did they taste the weird expensive coffee before they start selling them lol!
All the desserts were sold out at mcdonalds and KFC!!! We were really keen to try the Mcdonalds niangao red bean sundae, and KFC had these pork floss egg tarts! Argh.. got to get in early if you want those new year specials I guess!
I feel you on wanting to try two things so much that you had to get both
Thanks!
Cool because Abalone is considered a classy delicacy in large prts of China.
While Sea Cucumber is considered a healthy food.
