Forgive my vulgarness, but, there times when extremely good food can be enjoyed better than orgasm! 🤫😀
Hello Amy of Blondie In China, I like your videos!
我记得好像在抖音看过你的视频，还关注了你，但是我忘记了你叫啥了😅，可以说一下吗😂
Mmm…Mandarin isn’t the hardest language at all for English speakers - similar flexible sentence structure like English, no gendering of objects like English, and it’s even more logical in transliterations of certain things e.g. train = ‘fire vehicle’, or computer = ‘electric brain/mind’. The tones would be hardest part for English speakers.
That BBQ chef just chilling with a cigarette and getting her customers to do the cooking for her is so cool. I love her.
She's hilarious!
Yeah actually when she speaks she has that "I've experienced it all kid" attitude, makes you wanna worship her immediately hahaha
BBQ Auntie is a whole vibe, I'm here for it
Thank you for highlighting food adventures in China.... I visited for 3 weeks from Canada and most people in my life questioned why I would visit China at all....China definitely has a bad reputation, but it is mainly based on western propoganda. Everyone was so kind to me, and I felt very safe as a solo female. I had the best 3 weeks travelling there, and the food was amazing! Wish more people would give China a chance!
The people are not the politics and nothing beats meeting people face to face ❤
Holiday is different from moving.
I spent time in China a few years ago and found the same as you. Everyone was so helpful and friendly, and the food was out of this world! Given China's size & diversity, I could easily see it developing the world's largest tourism industry!
@@bryantint1339 must be worst then if one cant even make others’ holiday enjoyable
@@bryantint1339that goes for anywhere I suppose
The cigarette hanging out of the shaokoa chefs mouth while cooking was such a vibe ❤❤
it gave me kung fu hustle landlady vibes
@@huntdonger ☠️
also remind me Jimmy O'yang standup comedy, one chef that is in a kitchen with a ciggy who cooks hundreds of item from the menu, and the chef is not a real chef, just someones uncle from china.
Having a customer and not even a regular help you grill is pure Auntie behaviour
@@colinyang764 Dude, I think about this bit every time I see one of those cooks now.
The amount of people just leaning in an saying “helllooooooo” in your video in the busy market was hilarious. They definitely seem like a more extroverted community there!
When people feel happy in their lives, they are genuinely happy and greet tourists with a smile.
If people in a country feel that there is no future, they will become angry, they will feel that foreigners are taking their jobs, and they will attack those around them who are of a different color or a different race
You are right, China is completely different than Japan in that regard, I'd say they are more similar to Americans, the people are loud and boisterous and more extroverted.
Actually, Amy is quite well-known in China, and many people know and like her
That uncle's English is so good!
That last "chef" gives off the vibes of landlady from the Hong Kong movie "Kung Fu"
The chef cooking the shaokao was such a vibe! Honestly that whole table looked like good vibes
The best vibes!
she is such a badass haha
The locals are so friendly in Kunming. Your personality probably helps bring it out of them
🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely loving the energy in this video.
Getting the random customer to cook had me in stiches. It looks like so much fun. 😀
I have such a complicated relationship with your content. Don't get me wrong, your personality, video quality, and the entertainment i get from watching you is unmatched, but... you're too good at your job of showing how good all of the food is!😂
Uugghhhh how much I yearn to go on a food tour throughout all of China😭
That last restaurant is an introvert's nightmare 😂 The chef seemed cool though!
The lake, the trees in full bloom, the bees, the fresh veggies, the little kids with flower crowns so cute and most importantly, the potatoes. such a pretty place!!!!
Your ads are excellent. One of two youtubers where I actually watch them instead of skipping forward.
The head nod of acknowledgement with the driver across the way was hilarious.
Thanks so much!!!
I traveled to Kunmin 3 years ago and stayed there for 2 weeks. The weather always feels nice even when it’s raining.The foods there were amazing,ending up having 4 meals a day and gained 5kg when I got back 😂
That barbeque lady certainly created quite the atmosphere.
meant to comment for a few videos now. But whoever your subtitler is, they deserve a raise because the subtitles are fire. They are PERFECT!
Agreed!!! I LOVE my subtitle team!!!
I love potatoes and never joke about them.Potatoes in Yunnan have a unique flavor because of the local red soil rich in minerals.Among all kinds of Yunnan specialties, my favorite is all kinds of potatoes.
I can't get over the variety of food in China. It seems like it's practically infinite. What we anglo-aussies customarily call Chinese food doesn't nick the surface.
That’s true. China is literally 10,000 foods country. Back in imperial days, an emperor never tasted the same food in their whole life.
@@k.vn.k well, fun fact of the emperor, the emperor cannot have a single dish over 3 bites, because they couldn't let the emperor's preferences be known, otherwise they would risk being poisoned.
I think there are two reasons: first, foreigners may not like some special foods in China. Second, some animals and plants can only grow in China's specific geographical environment, so they are not available in other countries.
@@Chuyu-wx4rh Another reason is it depends which region of Chinese ppl immigrated/emigrated to other countries first. For example, large number of Cantonese ppl went to America first and Cantonese food was very popularized there. In recent years, Sichun style food has been more vibrant in America now.
What people experience as Chinese food in western countries is predominantly Cantonese (as in food from just 1 province). So it’s extremely limiting tbh
The roses are called bare root bushes here in the States. It is common to buy them that way (so you can inspect the health of the roots, and not just see dirt) but they will generally be packed in damp hay to keep the hairy like roots moist and reduce strain on the plant. Hint on the lavender, if you notice the scent fading, put it in a plastic bag and in the freezer for a couple weeks. Don’t know why this has worked for me and it may not work for anyone else but lavender is worth a try.
I think I need to move to Kunming...I can't eat wheat, so rice noodles, potatoes and all those toppings would be heaven for me. Then, all those flowers, that was another love of mine. If you could get seafood there, and live where you could keep a horse, I'd be in Heaven, no doubt!
Yuan nan (Kunming is the capital of Yuan nan province) is also famous for different kinds of mushrooms.
Please keep it quiet I don’t want everyone to want to move there then I won’t be able to afford the housing 😂

BBQ lady was giving out Kung fu hustle landlady vibes lol
Yeah, I second that. Specially when she had a cigarette in her mouth while still hustling the BBQ.
LOL I wish she made bread, could whip out the dough roller
Yes, in a way.
LOL so accurate
Exactly what I just commented
This is rising straight to the top of places I must visit thanks to your video 😊
Edit to add that rose roots are common in Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands and Italy.
It's a good day when BlondieinChina posts a new video!!!
Amy this city is my cup of tea between all those flowers and potatoes, it just looks such a pretty city. Sign me up! 🌷🌸🌷
The BBQ chef at the end was wonderful. Such a vibe haha.
Lmao first time I’ve ever seen someone use a hair dryer to fan a fire 😂 Everyone looked so friendly
i died when the hairdryer came out 🤣
This channel makes me feel hungry and that's not a bad thing.
Hahahah!
I watch while I eat my dinner. If I didn't, I would destroy my keyboard with drool! I definitely want to go to this city now, too!
I miss Kunming too, such an amazing experience, this video brings back beautiful memories
Hi Amy, those roses look like they might have been started from cuttings. It’s quite a common practice (sometimes you can even grow them from stems in a bouquet). They appear to have been started off and grown until their roots come in before being sold to give them a good chance of surviving. Love your videos! 🩵
All you can eat potato is how I wanna go out 😂❤
Potato buffet is a new concept! Never heard it from anywhere in China. I miss potato chips in OZ and NZ!!! I gonna go back for that.
Wow, I knew I wanted to go to Yunnan but now I'm even more excited to fantasize about the idea. The flower market would absolutely kill me!! That looks incredible. And I love the shaokao lady's vibe, what an awesome woman!
That intro was hilarious, especially about the wedding 😂
The crochet headscarf needs some bangs in front to look more youthful. If you leave more hair to the front, it could work.
I love how you love food. It’s so refreshing and fun
Yunnan is one of the places I really miss in China.
If you have the chef with a ciger on the mouth while handling the food, it's authentic Asian food and almost guarantee good food.
That’s a badass chef at the bbq stand 👏👍🏻👏👍🏻👏👍🏻
I can't wait to spend the 2nd part of life in my parents' birthplace.
I've been to many baked potato buffets in my life but I'm from the american Midwest so toppings are usually broccoli, sour cream, and different kinds of cheese. I love it but I want to try the toppings you had too!! 😂
Omg thank you sooo much for making these videos, there so interesting and as somone who wants to study and move to China. I absolutely love seeing you travel around the country and showing everything it has to offer. ❤️
Kunming with the mildest weather, not hot in summer, not cold in winter, but the with very strong ultraviolet, protect yourself
I love your good adventures! I always learn something & am left smiling!
my dream is to visit a chinese food market! we don’t have markets like that where i live and they look really cool. and of course the food looks delicious!
Visiting local market is a must when visiting other places. It is so much fun! Better than those tourist attraction places.
Loved it! I cannot wait to visit China 🇨🇳
❤🥔🍠❤
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Been to Kunming 30 years ago with a tour group. Mostly tourist stuff and nothing cool like these. Did have the rice noodles (or rice threads) and the boiled chicken soup. I still remember the stories behind these 2 dishes.
I just am so happy after watching your vids. Thank you again for making my day!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
你的國語和閱讀中文都比我好得多。我出生在廣州，在移民到加州學習中文之前在那裡學習了基礎知識。最好的旅行
Your Mandarin and reading Chinese is way better than me. I was born in Guangzhou, leanred my ABCs there before I immigrated to California to learn my Chinese. Best of travels!
Your vids make my day! I get anxious when trying new foods so I live vicariously through your videos. Keep up the cool videos
Omg Amy I can't believe that you're in Kunming again. FYI yes we do BBQ like that in Yunnan. At least for my experience. Each time we have a family reunion in Dali or kill a pig to prepare for the LNY, we'll sit around the grill station in the yard, bbqing and chat. And you can actually ask the vendor in the flower market to send the flower to Changchun by 顺丰, they'll help you to pick flowers that will bloom right at the moment you receive them. I can't wait to see more contents of you traveling in Yunnan!
The moment when you asked the customer cooking the quail of she was a customer and when she said it's her first time, is almost like a spell on her broke and she was like "wadafuggg am i doing"
the intro caught me off guard lmao 😭😭😭 also i feel like ur videos just get more entertaining every time !!
Showing us great food and some nostalgia of your previous trips is a fun combo! :D
That flower market looks insane! I really need to get down to the South West next time I visit China.
Thanks for shining a light on Kunming
Your friend was right, it is definitely a vibe at that shao kao place hahaha
Blondie in China, great video dude
Amazing variety of foods. I feel like Amy needed to get one of those flower crowns that people were wearing !
Love this vid, but also can't wait for the Yunnan ham vid. Huge fan of cured, waxed, smoked meats, which Yunnan is never short of all three.
Hong Kong people has a word called "seek sun" (god of eatery). This lady earned this title as she travelled all over China to taste the delicious food.
Amy, your ‘salty bun’ is more or less the Chinese version of “hamburger” 🍔😁😁😂😂😆
You can buy the fresh flowers and had it ship within 24 hours. When i was traveling to Kunming last spring i bought a bunch of flowers, outside the market there's a bunch of delivery& packing guys. I had it shipped to Guangzhou. The next morning the flowers arrived safely and still fresh. But maybe because i was in GZ. Idk if you can ship it all the way to Changchun
I think I'd rather opt for the "full, massive, girthy corn" over one that looks like it's masquerading as an adult toy, but maybe that's just me... 🌽
11:36 The cactus on the left is looking a little limp compared to his excited sibling on the right. 🌵
15:50 I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be in Kazakhstan to use that phrase.
18:03 Gypsy cosplay complete. 🔮
Hair drying quail was not a culinary technique I was expecting to see, but I'm here for it. 🐤
Your vlogs are so fun ! Love the energy in each new adventure!
One thing in Yunnan is really amazing, there are a huge variety of tropical fruits that is even more than tropical countries. I live in Manila and Beijing, every time I go back to Beijing, I can enjoy tropical fruits thanks to Yunnan farmers. In Beijing there are usually 5 types of mangoes, in Manila only 1, and the quality in Beijing is much much better and the price is 1/3.
I love your videos! I’m getting back into language learning and watching really helps me learn and I’m an absolute foodie too so it makes me so envious cuz I’m stuck in the states 😅😅 keep up the good work with the vids!
Seriously you are soo vibrant and inspired me
Now I want to move to Kunming, too!
I miss Kunming. the weather, food, coffee, flowers.
And Yunnan coffee too, plssssss 😎
LOVE YOU AMY!!!! ALWAYS ENJOYED YOUR VIDEOS
You might keel over if you visit the Andes Mountains community where the potato was domesticated then. Hundreds & thousands of potato varieties that they can straight up subsist on only potatoes. 😂
Yummy! Really awesome videos as usual. 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
ayo those are bongs 🤣 Kunming know how to party.
not me reading this while having a smoke lmao, ill keep an eye out for those bongs lmao
@heidi4639 they were quite nice actually
Not all heroes wear capes
Sorry to say but the star of this episode was not the "all you can eat potato buffet" but definitely that BBQ chef with her cigarette asking customers do work for her, she is AMAZING, hope you'll put her in some stories on RUclips !!!
Wow.. a potato buffet? Interesting.. Amy 👍👍.
My Thai wife uses a leaf blower to get the bbq started.
A potato buffet??? I’m booking my ticket 😂
Glad you enjoyed so much.
You said something about Vegas, are you off there soon? I have never been to USA but I worry that the food will disappoint you.
That last lady was so fun and random, I wonder how on earth they manage to keep charge of payments.
Glad you’re having fun, love from Ireland as always ❤
The lady does not need to take the cash to collect the payments. The customer scans the QR code to pay.
Hey Vegas doesn’t have much to offer but it does have good food
Vegas buffets are good though
Yes indeed, heaven does look real 🥔🍠
I'm so hungry now, off to stuff my face with garlic bread 😂
that shaokao chef was so cool, what an icon
Great episode. That potato dish looked yummy. Perhaps the cigarette ashes were a secret ingredient of the Shaokao.
Speaking of yunnan’s famous ham, there’s also a big population of hui people (Chinese Muslim), and they make a cured beef that’s really good. You’ll have to try it!! It’s made in various dishes: sautéed, in soups, fried on its own. Great with rice!
The flower bracelet looks so nice 😊
The customer chef is hilarious 😆
It is very common to get bareroot roses. Most roses are grafted, where the 'prettier' flower variety is Frankenstein monster style attached to the root and base of a more robust variety so they can't be cultivated as seeds.
Watching your videos is like a big hit of dopamine 😄 love your videos exploring China and the delicious food China has to offer
A potato buffet sounds like heaven to me!🤤 Imagine getting married in that city with that amazing selection of flowers! I don't think I would ever be able to eat in most of the places you show (I eat vegan, gluten free) but it's still fun to watch you enjoy it. 🌻
Wow! These foods look so delicious 😋, many thanks to you 🙏
Omg that sauce is awesome
Nice. Very lovely video.
I like your video so much. I spent half a day to watch two-thirds of your video.
The "peppercorny sauce" is 韭菜花 (pickled garlic chive buds)。
You're so cool AMY! love your content- no joke it brings me so much joy every time yu pose
Thank you for always posting amazing quality content
A Kunming local who has to work in Beijing sending the regards! So lovely to see the vibe and videos for my hometown! ten out of a ten! I even don't know the lady BBQ! If you moved to Kunming, I will definitely invite you for some food!
U go gal😂
If you haven’t visited Nanjing yet you totally should! My grandparents live there and whenever I visit the food is always so good
I was shocked when you said you've got your wedding and my ears were buzzing. I couldn't hear what you said after tthat. I'm going to prepare the gift. Please remember to annouce the address😊
