Big kudos to you for the eyeball. Not an easy thing to get past, but you did it like a champ. And how awesome was the support from the people around you! Thanks for continuing to bring adventure, culture, and incredible experiences to us every week. ❤❤❤
My guess would be that the dissolved sugar stayed at the bottom on the cup while you drank from the top. Once you poured in water for the second brew, that mixed the sugar throughout so more sweet-tasting.
I've been watching your videos since 2019, in that time I was dreaming about going to China... and now I am here since last year, every time I'm too stressed by uni life I just watch your videos and remember why I came here, thank you for everything Amy!
You take us to the best places. Every time it's a new world. I find you have the "trying food courage" I envy. With each of your videos, my thirst to visit China increases. Thank you.
GREAT JOB Blondie! It's important for people like you to normalize food that has kept humans alive for centuries. So many countries have intentionally become disconnected from where our food comes from so people become reliant. In the US, young people are afraid to touch a clean piece of muscle packaged in plastic and freak out when there are bones. It's very dismaying. As humans, we need to respect the life of the animals that gave their lives for us and understand all parts of the animal have value. First as food both fresh and preserved, then as clothes, fiber, weapons from bones, tools to sew, leather for shelter, clothes and cordage. Emmymade is Chinese-American living in the US and while most of her food exploration is all American, she is one of the best at normalizing food that is not normal, particularly her insect series which I admit, I would have a hard time with. It's so refreshing to see a Caucasian woman navigating and enjoying China which has been cooking food longer than most countries have existed. They've had time to perfect not only flavor, but textures, combinations, and balance. The geography of China is perhaps the most diverse of any country and the cuisine is exponentially diverse. No human could experience it all in a lifetime. I hope you can learn the cooking side and more about the plants and how they are grown, how the animals are raised, etc. It would be wonderful additional insight into the cuisines of China. TIP: researching the scientific name of the plant means the rest of us in the world will know exactly what it is.
@@Moco_Cork1 Because the more disconnected we are from where and what our food comes form that gave their lives for us, the less of a relationship and respect we have with nature, the Earth and it's resources that enable us to survive-so we respect and do not exploit our resources which destroys ecosystems and the ecosystem services that stewarding the Earth provides.
@violetviolet888 Are you actually being serious right now? The only way to respect nature and our environment is to stop eating the flesh of animals. To stop eating their organs and to stop drinking their blood. It is quite literally the only way, so please don't lie to me and try to stop lying to yourself.
No fuzz is a nectarine (水蜜桃). The small ones you had afterwards looks more like a pluot (apricot crossed with a plum). I forgot what they were called at the markets in Chinatown back home in San Francisco. 😅
@ellenkuang8853: 10:20 This is an *"aprium"* . Pluots would be bigger. An aprium is the result of a cross between a plumcot and an apricot, making it 75% apricot and 25% plum, while a pluot is a cross between a plumcot and a plum, making it 75% plum and 25% apricot. There is typically much more that goes into making these crosses, but that’s the general idea. If you’re lucky, you can find all three of these intraspecific crosses in a produce section near you, but it may not be clear what cultivar you’re purchasing. Myriad cultivars have been released of each of these hybrids - each one varying in color, size, flavor, disease resistance, etc. - and unfortunately most grocery stores don’t include cultivar names on their products, so it’s difficult to know what you’re getting.-David Karp
17:30 The northwest region is the primary area in China for consuming mutton and has a long history of breeding meat sheep. In the areas around Ningxia and Gansu, several unique Chinese sheep breeds are raised. Their most notable characteristic is the very mild or even non-existent mutton smell, making them very palatable. The locals have the best mutton in China, which, as a southerner, I envy very much. I'm also not very brave when it comes to eating eyeballs; the physiological aversion really hinders my attempts. The only time I don't feel that way is when eating fish eyes. Amy, I really admire you.
To be frank, out of all the China Travel videos I have seen recently, this one is THE BEST!!!!!!!! I laughed all the way through your sheep head experience! As a Chinese myself, I wouldn't have the courage to do that! 😂 Thank you for your amazing video! and Great personality of yours!!!
I'm a Lanzhou native living in Canada! I can't believe you've come to Lanzhou, welcome!

this channel is a gem! i'm malaysian chinese and i'm learning so much about the country that my grandparents were born in through your channel, love your enthusiasm and openmindedness to learn and try out new things
I was impressed you could even pick the eyeball up. When you ate the thing you triggered a phobia I never knew I had. Because of that I subscribed. That was great!
They sell whole raw sheep’s heads in Spain, complete with eyeballs, at the markets where people also sit and eat tapas. These things are not as far flung as people think. (Haven’t watched yet but enjoying the eyeball conversation)
Love,love, love this adventure. Amy, I think you are living my dream life. I used to travel a lot in my 20’s and managed to go to my dream destination as part of my education, and that was Australia (as I’m from Norway that’s half the world away). I wish I was more adventurous then, like you are now and tried more food and visited more places. Hmmm…this makes me sound old (I’m 46 years young 😂) New dreams of travelling keeps developing and your channel is one of my favourites as food adventures and the fact that you are so effortlessly communicate with the locals (which I know it’s probably taken a lot of effort to get to this point) motivates me. So, my travel dream (other than 🇨🇳) is Korea so duo lingo and I will be best friends for the next few years. If I ever get a chance to go to China to, I might have to book you as my guide 🙏🏻 So, quite a few of your posts end up in my dream travel folder and here’s a little fun fact - I have also eaten a sheep’s head and eyeball, as I am from the western part of Norway and sheep’s head is part of the very,very old (from the vikings I believe) traditional food for some before Christmas. Stay safe on your journey and looking forward to your next post. Cheers, Camilla from 🇳🇴
You are so cool, Amy! From your "hidden past" to eyeballs - you're such an inspiration! I started watching you because I'm getting glimpses of China that I haven't/won't ever experience(d) and it's so fun! I love what you're doing and I hope you continue to have fun yourself!
as a Lanzhou-born, New Zealand-raised, I only tried the eyeball once when I was in my 20s, you are so brave to have the eyeball, not all locals would dare to try it. I would recommend giving a go on "甜胚子奶茶“ in Lanzhon, it's Lanzhou speciality milk tea.
Thank you for your videos! Very interesting, informative and enjoyable, not just for different kinds of food, places and culture! You have been successfully making me understand more about China!
Welcome to my hometown! Haven't been back for years and really appreciate your video to see everything familiar and changed! Hope you have a wonderful trip in Gansu while enjoying all delicious food and fruits!
桃李满天下的李子就是这个，one of the oldest fruit in China. Another one is 香瓜 cucumis melo, Jilin province has the best one, you can find it near Changchun area during summer time.
Love the earrings that you wore going thru the night market in Lanzhou. So interesting to see the Yellow River merging with sea water - the contrast of colors! Wow! Congratulations on your eating an eyeball successfully! So brave! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Firstly, I really appreciate the way Amy expresses everything. If I were an English teacher, I would use Amy's videos as examples to teach. I have learned a lot of excellent expressions from Amy; I just love her English. Additionally, the content is really interesting! I always watch her videos while eating. They either make me enjoy the taste of food I've had before, enhancing my appetite, or they introduce me to foods I've never tried, like the sheep head, making me feel the same nervous excitement she does. It's like I know her so well, even though I've never met her in person. Great job!
Love your videos! Beijing native and just went home in May. And I've never been able to eat any eyeballs even though I'm pretty adventurous with food. Lol good for you! Glad you are having a good time! I've been catching up on all your videos. ❤
Amy you really are such a trooper! I'm a southern Chinese myself, yet I can't bring myself to eat half the things you have tried. I could do fish eye ball, but that mutton eyeball...phew😅
My wife and I love and watch your Chinese food adventure every morning with coffee in Sydney....Love, love, love your channel. We are spending Christmas in HK, Beijing and Harbin. Thank you soooo much for promoting China and the amazing culture, society and food.
I find the whole timezone thing in China really interesting. The fact that the entire vast country has Beijing time, a 10am sunrise in the west would be cool to see!
omg, I'm so glad to see the price hasn't risen. I first learned about these noodles when I was 11, my first visit to Lanzhou. I think it was a little cheaper then? But it honestly haven't been too much of a difference.
You are SUCH an adventurous eater--I would never try MOST of the things you showcase on here. If I were with you, though, I would try everything at least once; you make me want to do better! I really look forward to every new video Amy ❤
You played it well! From time to time, it is genuinely refreshing to watch your video and, as it were, play along with you and it is lots of fun. After all, as Plato notes, life must be lived as play. Pura vida, as Costa Ricans put it. Thanks to you for the grit and hard work you have devoted to each of your amazing videos.
Lanzhou is an amazingly beautiful province with amazing food. Volunteered there one summer. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. Had the spiciest da pan ji ever.
Hey Amy, try the two restaurants in HURSTVILLE whenever youre back in Sydney. One store on Forest Road, called "handmade Ramen" has really good biang biang noodles. And not far away like a 10-15 minutes walk towards the Westfield from Forest Road, you will see a store called 1915. They are usually Lanzhou style noodles and you can choose noodles on whichever size. (Honestly i go for thr thickest). And i order spicy lamb which is pretty much the dish right in thr middle of the menu fosplayed outside the entrance of that restaurant. And lamb skewers too, also are good. Quite delicious and you can sekf serve to add some extra chilli oil in your dish if you wanted more spice
That Handmade Ramen place is so underrated and tasty! Although I think 1915 is too inconsistent, both stores in Burwood and Hurstville have given me clumpy noodles 😅
Well done on the sheep head! I am definetly a tiny but more excited than usual for your next few vid! This is the region that fascinates me a lot. Like growing up with Chinese novels you hear a lot about the city that boarders the Gobi desert so yeah I'm intrigued. The plus side of having a large Muslim population and a lot of halal dishes also excites me as well!
My dad was Maori, and a couple of times a year he would treat himself to half a pig's head. He would roast it in the oven and be so happy to eat it when it was cooked! Afterward. he would give the jawbone to one of our dogs and they thought it was Christmas time! I was never brave enough to try it, and I wouldn't even stick around when he ate it (or when the dogs had the leftovers). Maybe one day I'll try it myself? Anyway, thanks for the great video! Now I really want Lanzhou beef noodles and a cucumber melon!
My goodness! I just realized that you mentioned you made your own "Journey to the West" in your opening spiel in the video. "Journey to the West" happens to be the title of a very famous Chinese mythological tale of a quest by a Chinese Buddhist monk in search of the fabled original Buddha texts - only that his journey took him down to north-east India in the west of China.

As humans, we need to respect the life of the animals that gave their lives for us and understand all parts of the animal have value.

Why is it important to normalise something we no longer need to eat to survive?
because it puts us in touch with our humanity.
and it is essential for us to stop normalizing cheese caves in the USA

Lanzhou is an amazingly beautiful province with amazing food. Volunteered there one summer. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. Had the spiciest da pan ji ever.
Because of all your videos, China is the next destination. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences across the country ❤
There are like 15 lanzhou noodle shops in Sydney alone! So many Muslim patrons as well
Hey Amy, try the two restaurants in HURSTVILLE whenever youre back in Sydney.
One store on Forest Road, called "handmade Ramen" has really good biang biang noodles.
And not far away like a 10-15 minutes walk towards the Westfield from Forest Road, you will see a store called 1915. They are usually Lanzhou style noodles and you can choose noodles on whichever size. (Honestly i go for thr thickest). And i order spicy lamb which is pretty much the dish right in thr middle of the menu fosplayed outside the entrance of that restaurant. And lamb skewers too, also are good. Quite delicious and you can sekf serve to add some extra chilli oil in your dish if you wanted more spice
Hurstville’best food can somehow be found at it’s train station
@@韩天宇-w9v that's true but I'm relating to Lanzhou noodles restaurant category...... 🙄
That Handmade Ramen place is so underrated and tasty! Although I think 1915 is too inconsistent, both stores in Burwood and Hurstville have given me clumpy noodles 😅
@@Zebeeze lol, guess you we t on the wrong day at the wrong time 😜
@@freddylee3013 I definitely got unlucky lol
That was awesome!
Much respect for the sheep head at the end, you took it like a champ.
Live, laugh, love, bread ❤
Well done on the sheep head! I am definetly a tiny but more excited than usual for your next few vid! This is the region that fascinates me a lot. Like growing up with Chinese novels you hear a lot about the city that boarders the Gobi desert so yeah I'm intrigued. The plus side of having a large Muslim population and a lot of halal dishes also excites me as well!
My dad was Maori, and a couple of times a year he would treat himself to half a pig's head. He would roast it in the oven and be so happy to eat it when it was cooked! Afterward. he would give the jawbone to one of our dogs and they thought it was Christmas time! I was never brave enough to try it, and I wouldn't even stick around when he ate it (or when the dogs had the leftovers). Maybe one day I'll try it myself?
Anyway, thanks for the great video! Now I really want Lanzhou beef noodles and a cucumber melon!
OMG... I wouldn't even try that as a Chinese hahaha. Great video!
Finally, my hometown, my lovely hometown! Thanks for sharing!
Lanzhou beef noodles 🤤 Wow had no idea you studied martial arts and did stunt training! Love your videos!
Great for you to visit a new place!
I love your channel so much. If I were a teenager I'd want to study abroad in China! So much good food!
Great video as always! For late sunsets you need to come to the Canadian prairies in the summer-the sun doesn't set here until almost 10 some nights
Oh wow!!! That’s so late!
The eyeball thing reminds me of the second Indiana Jones movie and Matrix 2
Great experience! Love your video!
I'm from Lanzhou, but I never dare to eat sheep's eyes!! You are so brave!!!Thank you very much for liking my hometown.❤🎉😊
You're so brave!! I miss the taste of Lanzhou beef noodles!
That's pretty badass when doing martial arts and it kept leading on to another chapter of your life 🤩
As a Lanzhou born and bred, thank you for promoting my hometown.
Wow, you are so brave to gobble up the eye. Way to go !
The smooth "peach" is called a nectarine in the U.S.
We also call them nectarines, but I think she'd temporarily forgotten they exist 😂
I think it’s a different variety of apricot because I definitely remember eating that type when I was a kid!
My goodness! I just realized that you mentioned you made your own "Journey to the West" in your opening spiel in the video.
"Journey to the West" happens to be the title of a very famous Chinese mythological tale of a quest by a Chinese Buddhist monk in search of the fabled original Buddha texts - only that his journey took him down to north-east India in the west of China.
