- This is a dish I've been wanting to try for a long long time. It's called Luosifen, or 'River Snail Rice Noodles', and it's made from actual snails. It's infamous for its pungent smell, but it's ENORMOUSLY popular in China. Let's find out why....

The official English translation for this dish is "Lots of Fun".
lmao
lol
Reminds me of "funny mud pee"😂
Samuel where? Can’t see it
Where can I buy your book!
actually, it is not the snail in the garden. They are grown in rivers so maybe you can see them as a kind of clam. Hope that will help your dad feel better. LOL
One of the two most popular snails eaten in France are those we can find in the garden. We call them "petits gris" and it's delicious !
@@alexandrechatty5439 Wow. Thanks for the information. I never knew that. The snails in that dish look very big and I thought the snails are raised in some kind of labs or farms(LOL). It's good to know that and I guess it will be easier for people to accept this dish and eating snails.
@@agathayin5285 In France, the snails you buy at the market come from farms but it's easy to capture some snails in the garden to breed : they are exactly the same as what you buy at a store with the name "petits gris".
Alexandre Chatty Mais je pense ils s’appellent escargots, quand j’étais en France
@@ancientreezhang6679 « snail » est le mot anglais pour dire escargot. Il en existe plusieurs sortes.
I love how every Chinese "auntie" wants you to find a Chinese boyfriend. Sooooooo funny. I saw that in the ear cleaning video too.
people in China often say things like this to gilrs from another province too, I think they believe it's a nice thing to say, because it kinda means they like you and want you to stay and be one of them.
I think the whole smell thing depends on the person. Personally, I can’t smell it, it just smells like regular noodles to me. However, I made this for my friends once and a few of them complained about the smell. So it varies from person to person.
I complained about it to my roommate after she was done cooking it.. 🙄
Yet, I still bought it to try it.. Wonder if I'll be able to stand it myself
yeh exactly！
Love how your parents give things a try instead of a plain out no, bless😊
OMG LUO SI FEN! I MISS IT SO MUCH! ENJOY, BLONDIE! I'm so jealous! Wish I could share with you!
Ahhh I'm sure theres a place to get it in NYC?? Maybe you can get your luosifen fix there!!!

Yaaas, QUEEN 🤩

If we did 1 of these things before, it makes us sinner. If we continue to do these things or sinning, we will die in our own sins.We need to repent through Jesus, to make our relationship with GOD good again, because There will be a judgement day 1 day,The people who believe in Jesus Christ and follow his commands will enter the kingdom of GOD, but the people who don't believe in Jesus and done evil/bad things/sinners will enter Hell.

lol
There are actually reasons to seperate the package, as they belong to different steps during the cooking. If you read instructions carefully, peanuts and pickles shouldn't be boiled together with the soup. They are actually toppings after having noodle in the bowl. For the fried tofu, someone like to boil them in the soup, someone like to eat them as topping. I am the topping one.
I am glad to see you can enjoy Luosifen. To be honestly, half of my friends can't accept the smell, but the other half are super fan.
Also there's a note to your dad. Luosi is not snail, like the ones running in the garden. Its name is called "Margarya" in English, and they are living in the river or in the water
farmland. They can be easily caught by a net. Their meat are tiny but very delicious.
In old days, Luosifen is very popular among the poor people. After the meat is taken out from Luosi, the shell is useless and can't be eaten. The poors collect the shells to make soup and add noodle to the soup, and later on they create Luosifen.
I recommend the instant Luosifen from Liziqi's brand. They are supper delicious, and all my family like it. Anyhow, the one you have chosen is also very good!
Wow, I fell in love with luo si fen seven years ago. I prefer having it on street not only because of the complex packaging of fast food version, but also because there are so many ingredients can be chosen to add, such as fried tofu, duck‘s feet and pig's feet. They are fabulous when they meet the soup.
A pro
lol so i guess your "it smells quite nice" is a family thing. so cute! I also tried Luosifen at home. My husband and my dog ran out of the house when I opened the bamboo pack.
HHahahhahahaha even the dog 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha
No jokes ! My cat actually ran away when I opened the 臭豆腐 jar the first time !
Never heard of luosifen before! And never know we even have it here in sydney! Thanks amy, we're keen to try 😆😎
I just remember Chinese drama called “Put Your Head On My Shoulder” about this noodle 😂
im here while watching it hahah was curious about the noodles
Literally googled it and found this video because I’m watching that show right now!!!
Googled it while watching it. And found this. 🤗
snail basically means 蜗牛 in Chinese, however 螺蛳 is definitely another completely different kind of creature. 螺蛳 is more like small conch that lives in freshwater.
螺蛳英文也是snail. 说的river snails...
英语里面，所有带壳的腹足纲gastropod螺类动物都叫snail，land snail是蜗牛，freshwater snail是淡水螺（river snail也是淡水螺），sea snail是海螺。
所有不带壳的这类动物都叫slug蛞蝓，也分land slug鼻涕虫，freshwater slug淡水蛞蝓，sea slug海蛞蝓。
每一种蛞蝓slug和本家族近亲的那一类螺snail的关系其实比跟其他家族蛞蝓的关系要更近一些。只不过都没有壳，所以都叫slug。
另外还有背上带着一点壳，但是不能缩进去的介于螺类和蛞蝓之间的过渡态transitional动物，叫做semi-slug半蛞蝓。
Clicked for the noodle review stayed for the dad joke. Was not disappointed. 10/10
😂😂😂😂😂😂 love it
Don’t normally like Smelly noodle meaning? I don’t get it
Blondie in China Don’t normally like Smelly noodle meaning? I don’t get it
@@tjjuntim3728 idk if i'm getting this right but when you say "a noodle" instead of "noodle", it usually means some certain part of a male's body that stays... well... soft as noodle. and ITS SMELLY.
Strong smelling cuisine (like stinky tofu and durian) are oftentimes make-or-break. You either like it or you don't.
True!
I truly like your dad’s reaction!!!! Especially when your dad’s reaction changed from pleasant to doubt 😂🤣👌 Cute family!!! Love it!
Love your video. This noodles is my hometown special (Guangxi), and I am very proud to see many people around the world enjoying it. One thing to note, the snail in the soup is not the normal garden snail you are talking about. It is actually a kind of water snail that attaches to rocks/ship surface for the most of their life. It's more like the Escargot in the French dish. One thing I didn't notice for the longest time eating the noodles is the amount of plastic they use. Now that you brought it up, I actually feel bad about eating it so often.
Lmao. Love blondie dad's sense of humor.
I’ve tried these noodles a few times, and they are literally one of the *most* delicious noodles I’ve ever had. 😂😂
Great work again! It's amazing to see you back to Australia and keep smiling! Pls keep it safe and well
Her dad asked her "where did you catch them?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think I'm in love with you already, specially with the way you treat your parents with utmost love & care. They seem to be enjoying what you are introducing them.
Your folks are so nice and respectful. I guess that shouldn’t be a surprise since you are so lovely and respectful person. Such a treat and fancy, getting acquainted with your folks!
Thank you for your video. Especially, the english subtitle. I can enjoy the content of your video and also study English at the same time. Thank you so much! YOu always smile and be energetic. Your passion really inspired me a lot.
lol Your dad's facial expression was gold on hearing snail soup base. Though river snail is not an incorrect name for 螺, I think it can be referred to as a river conch for better appetizing imagery. Otherwise, snail, which reminds us of 蜗牛, would be quite upsetting for anyone to stomach it. (Though we have had French escargots...)
As for the smell, I do always mistaken it for our dog peed in our kitchen every time my sister cooks it.
And agree with you 100% on the amount of plastic you would find in many Chinese products' packaging...people to need to raise awareness about these.
Lmao😂Your dad’s facial expression was so funny when you say the soup is snail base
this was a fun video...want to try this dish myself. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Well Amy, your channel really deserves more likes. Great work, I like your enthusiasm here
same here, i find a lot of Chinese snacks have way too many plastic packages, it looks more premium but those bags contains aluminum and it cannot be recycled. hope we can invent a better packaging method.
I agree, maybe some day we will change this not so far
Agree with you
Luosifen sold out so fast in Melbourne! "HaoHuanLuo" indeed has best taste. Everyone loves it !
Love your dad's expressions. Keep up the good work. Take care
Yeah! Finally the goodies from Guangxi where I came from! Well Done Amy! Hope you enjoyed that. Actually in Guangxi there are two versions of Luosifen, one with actual snails meat in it and second one they only use the snails to make the soup.
When the first time I had luosifen, I couldn't bear the smell, but strangely, I couldn't smell the strange smell any longer now.
it means you are hooked!
I don't know why. Every time my roommates are having Losifen, I can't stand the smell at all. but when I cook it for myself, the smell is really nice and taste good. lollol
Probably cos when you cook it, you're actually hungry. Haha
I have the same feeling :)
that's the smell of jealous hhahahahhaha
thanks for pointing out the amount of plastic within the packaging, spreading awareness! it's so important :)
I am a Liuzhou local! Glad that you love the noodle, blondie. Welcome to visit Liuzhou and try more variations of Luosifen there! ❤❤❤
I also love Luosifen! Interestingly, before this video I had no idea that it was known as a stinky noodle, and it never crossed my mind that it was stinky. I wonder if its (a) cultural (do we grow up with similar smells), or perhaps (b) genetic (ex: only some people notice a foul smell in their urine after eating Asparagus).
“Where did you get those snails!" lollololol
Not only u, but also you parents are very openminded about trying new things👍👍👍
I used to have LuoShiFen with my roommates outside my university almost every week. It is a cute choice for supper. Hope you will enjoy it. Have a nice day!
NOOOOO!! I tried this one before, but I feel it's not the real taste of Luosifen. Smelly and spicy is the soul of Luosifen, but they didn't do both
I cooked the instant one at home and I just loved it. But later on my husband asked me not to eat that dish again at home. Haha 😂
Haha.
What a great video!! I heard about this dish in a Chinese drama I watched and was intrigued. I'm also going to China soon and I'm excited to try it for myself. Maybe I'll give it a go at a restaurant to avoid all of that packaging though - truly excessive on the plastic!
I got addicted to this dish because of you!! Im usually a meat eater but this noodle wow! It's got all the flavours you are looking for.
After trying it first time, my young son, who was born in the US, cannot stop the temptation of LuoSiFen. Every time when my wife is not at home, my son will ask me to cook the LuoSiFen
Hahaha so cute
It’s actually river snails, quite different from snails on land
Nice video I just randomly bought it today and looked it up and saw your video - bout to try it soon
Ur video really encourage me to try this noodle, love it
Started eating it when I was young (around 20 years ago) in Shenzhen Huaqiangbei, and loved it. Although it was not popular at all during those days, but Luosifen is always the second best noodle I would think of (after Guilin rice noodle). Now Huaqiangbei changed a lot, and I can't find that canteen anymore, but still, that was my memory. Right outside my living district, there is a Luosifen canteen and a Guilin Rice Noodle canteen, just 2 shops apart, but having the same brand QiangJi... Love your videos~
“螺蛳”(luosi) is actually not snail. They are very different. Luosi is more like clam. It's aquatic and its shell is very very hard, while snails have very weak shell.
英文也是snail，海里的河里的和陆地上爬来爬去的都叫snail，只是英文分类和中文不一样。
@@TsunamiMT 这样吗？我以为snail只是指“蜗牛”。对我个人来说，吃蜗牛会觉得有点难以接受，但水生的田螺就不会。
“螺蛳”(luosi) is a kind of fresh water snails. Basically the difference between snail and clem is that all snails have single shell, while all clems have double shells.
不是luoshi吗……
Nonsense. They are small river snails. Nothing like clams.
I love all the strong smelling foods, lol. Last summer I was travelling in Guilin and ate luoshifen. The toufu skin and duck feet are the best of it.
Exactly. Loving your immediate realisation, Amy. The very thing that stops me from eating these instant luoshifeng is all the soft plastics in the packaging. Most of the soft plastics for the sources will be contaminated so most likely can't be recycled at all. Much much better to enjoy it in the restaurant and support the local business.
"It's snail soup" - cut to papa's face 😢😢 LOL! 🤣🤣
Every time my sis cooks luosifen at home, my mom will definitely yell at her:" That stinks! Stop it!"
My mum asked me to get out with luosifen
Your vids are hilarious! Stay safe Amy!
In my hometown, we actually also just eat stirfried river snails with sour bamboo shoots and spices. It’s quite nice to eat them. Some places actually sell you the river snail meat too, and they taste quite nice.
Ya, I have exactly the same feeling when I found there are so much plastic in that bag. They really need to reduce consumption XD
I watched Put Your Head on My Shoulder on Netflix and the main role Momo loved these River Snails. I'm intrigued to try now..
I know, I just squealed when I saw the title of this video🤣
this is the first vid i watched by blondie and ive been watching for smth like a year maybe now; got recommended it again today and was nostalgic
Awww thank you so much for watching my videos!!!
@@BlondieinChina thank you for your content! :)
Mouth watering watching this video... 😋😋😋 I’d have to check out the local Chinese supermarket to see if they carry that. Again, thank you for the wonderful video, and your positive energy!!
Thank you so much!! And I'm sure your local chinese supermarket would have it
I remember my first and only encounter with this thing in my friend's home in Beijing. He ordered a takeaway of luosifen and the moment he opened the package I genuinely thought the sewage pipe exploded or something, for I didn't know any food could smell like that.
I love that Australian Valley Girl sound.
I hope iChongqing can sponsor you to visit Chongqing as well in the future! You are so excited and enthusiastic describing food and sharing your feelings!
I found great content creators always conduct best social experiments.
The look of horror on your dad's face when he realizes what he's eating...then, minutes later, finishes the whole bowl!
In French cuisine, they eat garden snails as a delicacy, a dish called _Escargot_
I mean, it’s technically freshwater snails, which is not the samething as garden snails
@@Shenzhou. Then the French charge a ton of money for it; it's considered "gourmet" and you have to get it in "high end" restaurants. They make the same thing in Chinatown NY, and it's reasonably priced and there's no fanfare around it. I like it better that way.
I will never forget my white housemates disgusted face when i cooked luo si feng at home for the first time.
Nice try! I feel like I might want to cook my own instant Luoshifen after watching this video.
The energy here is immaculate ✨
when your father heard that 'snails', the time was paused
Whenever I cook luosifen at home my mom wants to throw me out
you should let her try at once I believe she will become a big fan of this dish!
Love your videos!
Merci pour la découverte, ça donne envie d'en manger !
Every time I smell it I just run away.
This food appears in a corner of my university. And it smells really bad when I went through it. But, After several times of Eating, I think it could be delicious
You should try! I think it’s delicious
I am a big fan of it.
喜欢你这种敢于挑战的精神，加油加油💪🏻
Mom is so cute. She loves all food that you introduced to her.
“Where did u get the snails?” Lol
I love Luosifen. It’s stinky but tastes really good 😋
Because of dad's endorsement, i am definitely going to try Luosifen when I am in China. I love dad's reaction when he heard snail in the noodle.
Thanks for being a bridge between china and australia !!!
When i opened the package of luosifen at home, my first impression was also the same as yours- too much plastic😢
Agree but the toppings have to pack separately 😢
My favorite noodles ever. I used to think at first it was smelly but after cooking them over and over I got to say I love the smell. Sorry, I do love the smell. Luosifen is in my grocery card weekly. I love it! Luosifen + Tsingtao beer + Netflix it is my fav combo
Yanjing and Harbin were my favs.
Thanks for sharing! Ive wanted to try luosifen after seeing it in a drama but wasnt too sure about it. Will get the instant one just to try and yes i agree with the too much plastic 😱😱
Wow I would love to try that! Snails are delish!
“Where did u get the snails “
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It has been a while since I've seen someone using Chopsticks to eat food.
Hi Amy, we are very lucky that even though plastic recycling isn't doing much, there are young innovative groups that are trying in the country. Give your soft plastic a quick rinse and return them to this soft plastic bin at any Woolworths or Coles. They are normally positioned right near the cashier
love that you are so environmentally conscious.... thanks.
Smelly
Noodles
Are
Incredibly
Lovely
You liked it so you’re officially your friend’s friend! :D
Hahahahahah 😂😂😂
Luosifen is from my hometown, Liuzhou! I'm so glad that you have tried it! 先赞后看!
Kinda happy to see the food from my hometown goes out to the world. Cuz I don't have to fly back to eat it every time.
Strange how your video pop up in my feed, I just finished watching a cdrama called "put your head on my shoulder " one of the main character (Xing Fei) loved smelly snail rice noodles (Luo Si Fen). Thank you for actually describing your experience with the dish. From my experience pickled bamboo shoots does have an odor.
Just want to add that this is the standard amount of packaging in China usually (if not more), especially when it comes to online shopping. It's really ghastly.
i'm boy,and my friends who love luosifen indeed that girls are like more than boys,lol
确实如此。agree
I totally agree with you on the packaging issue. Something about the instant food is that there are always too much plastic packaging inside that cannot be recycled and probably great amount of them will end up being poured to the oceans hurting animals and polluting the shores. Really wish we will get more biodegradable packaging in the future
Guilin rice noodle and luosifen are still two different things. Luosifen are now easily found in all Asian markets in US my area. We’ve tried multiple brands and flavors, eventually settled on Luo Ba Wang brand mala flavor is the best.
The French wants to know your location xD
3:19 It's so weird that you speak Chinese with little accent while Ashley speaks Chinese with super-strong accent LOL
true
I think Ashley was just trying to pronounce it the western way, just like when Chinese people say Chinese city names using the American/western pronunciation of it, with everything sounds very monotoned and flat.
Really want to try this. Will look out for it in the Chinese supermarket. Uk chinese supermarkets usually supply Cantonese food, Australian chinese supermarkets and chinese restaurant seem a lot more versatile. Thumbs up for another great video always look forward to watching them 🍲😋
HAHAHA this video is so much fun!!
But I personally don't like the instant packaged one you purchased from the supermarket lol, it is branded with an extra bag of crawfish sauce which has nothing to do with its OG recipe. I'd recommend the brand "柳全“, it seems like the most cheapest priced one on the market yet the most authentically tasting one!
