- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- We are in Chengdu, and its time for some street food!
We go into this without a clue what we are going for.
We tried chicken feet, which we were not a fan of...along with some other amazing snacks and finished off with a revisit to durian!
The golden retriever and the owner in the background at 27:32 just totally cracked me up. I canny help laughing
me too！
Omg, that was hilarious. I can’t stop laughing and watching it over and over again.
lmao
Yup! Especially when Alan at that moment was just saying "yeah there's not a lot going on..." in the foreground, lol
The Golden Retriever in 27:30 was hilarious🤣
27:34 Look at the golden retriever in the background that refuses to walk, so cute🤩
Like a spoiled kid!
22:11 They were telling you the price, one yuen for one, not that you need to get a big quantity. The noodle is called DandanMian, literally means "shoulder pole noodles", because in the old days the vendor would carry the cooking utensils on the shoulder with a pole and walk all over town to sell the noodle. It's basically stir fried minced pork with garlic and chili with spices and then pour over the noodle.
up
22:06 The man was just asking you to pick whatever sticks you want and put them all in the plate, and the price was 1 yuan per stick. It's perfectly fine if you only want one of them. Probably a translation app would be helpful next time.
Also, the crispy pork is unhealthy, basically anything that are extremely delicious is not very healthy🤣
27:50 a cute lazy big dog...😂
that golden retriever needs a good shower back home...
In China and many other Asian countries, chicken feet are considered a famous and popular delicacy. They are appreciated for their unique texture and flavor, and they're actually a pretty healthy snack too, as they contain a lot of collagen.
吃起来不方便 去骨的还可以
要不弄个视频教外国朋友怎么吃
I didn’t like it the first time, but really enjoy it after second try. Now I have a craving for chicken feet. They are quite expensive nowadays in Chinese Dim Sum. These two people can only eat potato
I loveeee chicken feet! Used to be afraid to eat it, but since I tried it, I can't get enough!
这俩哥们真是穷游啊，和在油管刷的其他旅游视频风格都不一样。
@@user-kh5gp4tb3t 可以直接买无骨鸡爪的，唯一缺点就是贵了点。不过现在鸡爪除非自己买了卤，好像都不算太便宜。
I love how you guys approach new foods and cultures with an open mind and without judgement! Keep it up loving your China series ❤
You guys are so hilarious and cute! Bravo award for your courage in trying such exotic foods!
1. at3:00 , the food you have ever eaten this in Shanghai (cost 40 yuan), it's just prepared in a different cooking style. |
the flavour you can call "麻辣",spicy and numbing.
2. Chicken feet are quite common in China, but you might want to try the local spicy and numbing rabbit head, which is quite distinctive. However, just like when you tried chicken feet, you should be mentally prepared. Don't think too much about it when eating these things; just eat boldly and you'll be fine.
3. at 20:40 ,that noodle dish is called Dan Dan Noodles, which are quite famous. They are different from Wuhan's Hot Dry Noodles, as they have a richer flavor. Personally, I prefer Dan Dan Noodles, but both types are delicious.The most important part of Dan Dan Noodles is making the 'Saozi', which involves finely chopping the best quality pork hind leg meat, then stir-frying it in hot oil. This is mixed with soy sauce, sesame paste, chili oil, Sichuan pepper powder, minced meat, Sichuan preserved vegetables, bean sprouts, pea shoots, chopped green onions, and mashed garlic to create the final dish. it since 1841 ? i am not sure.
4. at 22:47 The owner said it's one yuan per skewer. They charge based on the sticks inserted in the food. You can buy a tofu skin; you misunderstood him. It's possible to buy just one.
5. at 27:44 the boy was pulling a dog ..LOL...
Greetings from the US! What a wonderful journey you two have taken us on! My husband and I have been following you guys. Btw, the gentleman was trying to tell you that the bean curd was 1 yuan per stick. 😊
Gosh! Hearing thay Sco-ish accent really sends me back home. I'm born and bred in scotland but have moved to Hong Kong to work.
So glad more of my countrymen have taken up the courage to see the real China. Enjoy yourselves guys!
In Chengdu, you should go to Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li. This is the center of Chengdu, equivalent to Shibuya in Tokyo and Times Square in New York. There are many young people. You should try Chengdu’s Mapo Tofu and twice-cooked pork, which are representatives of Sichuan cuisine. Especially the hotpot should be tasted.
Hi guys, the secret to enjoy chicken feet is to taste the flavor, not to stare at it. It's soft and delicious, just put in your mouth, don't look 😂
yea the more u think about it the moreu feel weird, as a Chinese, i never thought chicken feet are disgusting until my foreign friends told me their thoughts🤣i usually just put the whole thing altogether, like all the toes, in my mouth.
At 23 minutes, the male clerk tells you that each skewer costs one yuan, and you can eat it in the store or take it away. He is not asking you to buy a lot. He says that you can also sell one skewer.
Seems that your guys can handle medium spiciness level. That's a nice thing that you chosen Chengdu as your destination. If you are zero-tolerance for spicy, maybe you can choose GuangZhou as your next city. That's a food paradise for zero-tolerance-spiciness foodie. Guangzhou Dim Sum and desserts will amaze you. Certainly, their roast duck or goose are also great. Char Siu (BBQ Pork) and Cantonese poached chicken, you can't miss.
27:40 Guy in the background dragging his dog who refuses to walk is so funny 🤣 Great food review and video as always!
The "dan dan noodle" you've had is a famous sichuan style noodle. In chengdu, you could also try 钟水饺(seasoned dumpling) , 甜水面(sweet cold noodle)，麻婆豆腐. In china, each region has their unique way to cook noodles. The noodles in Chengdu is more in spicy, sweet and numbing. However Xi'an is also a heaven for the noodles lovers but in more spicy and sour type.
纠正一下，南方的面条讲究浇头，也就是配料。北方的面条讲究筋道，更注重面条的口感，当然现在浇头也很丰富，但最大的区别就是北方的面条更筋道。。
27:51 the golden retriever🤣🤣🤣
Such a lovely couple!!! Both of you are very kind people and are very well matched! Even though you looked very tired, you were all smiling and energetic the whole time. 👍As a Chinese ,it’s really hard to see someone who can see China objectively. Thank you for your video ! Hope you can enjoy your travel in china. Can’t wait to see more!
I love the way that you explore local food and life in different places. Wonderful and fascinating video! Enjoy your trip.
You guys are so fun to watch!
At the noodle place the owner said one stick one yuan, pretty sure you can have as many as you want.😅 Sichian food is famous of the flavor from the numbing pepper, a small round pepper having a special flavor. Once you get used to it, you won’t feel much about its numbing effect aftermaths.
I'm a new fan and have been thoroughly enjoying all your videos. You guys are very brave...and hilarious! Keep the vids coming! 💪😎👍
As an overseas-born Chinese, I have a lot of sympathy with Shannon’s feeling about chicken feet. Big ups to Alan though for having a go. I also tried chicken feet before but was turned off by the hand-like appearance. My elder relatives however had no such problem, as you’d expect. To each his own,but very well done to you guys for trying everything out. 👍
OMG I love the dedication with the panda hats 😂 you guys look really cute in them
Great food haul, loved your Simon Cowell like comments and all the street scenes around you. It’s a big yes for me 👍👍
It's so interesting to see you guys almost have no barrier to communicate with the local people, even though you don't understand what each other said verbally.
I love your discussions about the experiences of these foods, the details and all. Makes me mouth watering.
I had gone to dim sum with my Chinese friends every since young. Nowadays, chicken feet are nothing.
You guys are so funny together. It’s also cute your Scottish accent is so strong that you put subtitles 😊
Crispy pork, the crunchy part is actually the pork skin after roasting for 3-4 hrs. The noddle is called DanDan Mian (or DanDan noddle), very typical in Sichuan. Good choice.
27:30 sorry guys but while you explained in detail the flavors, I just can’t take my eyes off the guy in the background pleeding his stubborn dog to move along 😂😂
Thanks again for update ！
Firstly, the names of authentic Chinese dishes and Western cuisine are typically presented differently. Western dishes, especially formal ones, often list the main ingredients explicitly.
The first dish is "锅巴虾滑," which includes prawn paste. I remember you've already tried prawn paste twice. Prawn paste is mainly made from shrimp meat, starch, and egg whites. This snack also includes "Guoba," which is essentially "slightly scorched rice."
The second one is chicken feet. Chicken feet are usually served as a "snack with alcohol" in China because they can be consumed slowly. Chicken feet are rich in collagen, somewhat similar to one layer of pork elbow (not fat). However, besides appearance, another reason why Westerners may not like them is that they contain small bones, which some find inconvenient.
The third dish is 脆皮五花肉(crispy pork belly.) A whole piece of pork belly is boiled with various seasonings, then cooled and coated with a full-egg batter before deep-frying (it can also be baked in an oven). The reason for using a microwave is for simple reheating. The cucumber on the side is mainly there to cut through the richness. Strictly speaking, it's not considered "healthy" since it involves deep-frying (or baking). For many Westerners, the notion of "healthy" often equates to salads haha.
The fourth one is 担担面(Dandan noodles.) The recipe is quite simple: noodles, minced meat sauce, peas, scallions, garlic, and seasonings. It might be too spicy for your taste.
The fifth one, 芝士烤榴莲(cheese-baked durian,) isn't considered a traditional Chinese dish.
About Xi'an, I won't mention tourist attractions here. Let me tell you about traditional Xi'an snacks. 肉夹馍 (Chinese hamburger), 凉皮/酿皮 (cold noodles), 胡辣汤 (spicy and sour soup with assorted ingredients), and 羊杂 (sheep offal). If you don't understand Chinese, you can match the characters with their translations. Xi'an is known for its noodle-based dishes.
Regarding Beijing, besides Peking Duck, there isn't much else for you to try. 四季民福's Peking Duck is excellent. There are also two traditional Beijing snacks that you might find "challenging": 豆汁 (fermented mung bean juice) and 炒肝 (stir-fried liver).
课代表😀
解释的很地道。。补充一下，陕西的油泼面，哨子面等各种面食，口感和南方的面条完全不一样。
哈哈哈！来中国吃中餐只要说你的宗教禁忌和不吃什么就行了！享受未知的美味才是最重要的😂
他们两个真的厉害 到现在都不用翻译和店家沟通哈哈哈
LOVE your honest reviews!
I'm following your every video now, the more I watch, the more I'm addicted to your accent. and your experiences are so authentic and interesting, totally from another perspective. plus, your panda cap is so cute
The China series has been very interesting so far! looking forward for more
the chicken feet and crispy pork look so yummy 😍
The fact that no one commented about the dog owner having to literally drag his cute dog home (27:40) blows my mind 😂😂😂 The funniest thing about the entire video passed by without a single remark !!
omg love to see tourist trying different cuisine in China. Glad you are having a good time here.
I love your panda hat! So cute! For the Tofu skin, the shop owner told you that it's one yuan a piece and they could put it in a small box as well. @22:09
It's very interesting and intriguing to see someone eating things one grow up with for the first time. Very excited to see your reactions trying noodles in Xi'an for the first time, and how it compares to the noodles you had in Wuhan and Chengdu so far. Xi'an is known for it's noodles and carbs.
That's a nice looking Panda hoodie. Luv it! 😊
Hey Alan, that tofu skin skewer you like is sold for 1 Yuan per stick. That was what the seller was saying in Mandarin. You can pick as few as 1 stick or more, to be put on a plate.
27:41 that guy dragging his dog away absolutely steals the show 😆😆😆
Hi Alan and Shannon, really enjoyed your videos and love your genuine thoughts and feelings all the way. Enjoy your visit to Xi'an and Beijing where you'd be able to see and experience the history of China. If you guys plan to visit the Forbidden City or perhaps Tian An Men square in Beijing, you may need to book tickets/entry a few days earlier. Not sure if you need to book tickets for visiting the terracotta warriors site, but it worths asking about that at the information desk at Xi'an railway station if you guys go there by train. Wish you guys a joyful and safe trip!
OMG!!! Shannon and the chicken foot. Too hilarious. Soooo adorable. Had to replay it many times. Crack me up so much. LOL. You guys are so cute in the panda hats. Absolutely one of your funniest videos.
What the noodle you eat is called Dandan noodle. Dandan noodles, a specialty snack from Zigong, Sichuan, China, is named after the traditional method of carrying a pole and calling out to sell goods. The noodles are delicate and smooth, with the main ingredients including red chili oil, sesame paste, minced meat, Sichuan preserved vegetables, crushed peanuts or peanut powder, ground Sichuan peppercorns, red soy sauce, minced garlic, and chopped scallions.
Legend has it that the dish was created by a Zigong peddler nicknamed Chen Baobao in 1841. As it was initially carried and sold using a carrying pole along the streets, it was named Dandan noodles.
Alan you missed ur tofo skin. The man actually said 1 yuan each. Funny to see you guys using different languages and guessing what each other means😂 mostly correct but sometimes wrong
The first dish you tried, is the same shrimp paste chunks you tried in Shanghai, but cooked differently. It is Guoba Xiahua, guoba is the burned rice at the bottom of the rice pot, and xiahua is the shrimp paste chunks. This one is stirred fried instead of the mala soup you had in Shanghai.
As for the chicken feet, contrary to western believe, it is not dirty at all, as chicken feet have a layer of web covering them and it is removed before cooking.
Cute panda outfits btw.
不好意思，从来不吃鸡爪😅
@@ingathrise 爱吃不吃🤣，你不吃并不会让别人觉得你有多特殊
@@user-co6yc3xx2w 年轻人真的很少会吃鸡爪
As a chinese, I and my wife never eat chicken feet or heads. What's more, there are chicken feet without bones which is more convinient to eat in one mouth.
@@ingathrise 中国这么大食物种类繁多，作为中国人也不可能适应每一种美食，哪怕是当地的也可能吃不惯
Love your panda hats so much, it's so cute!! Wish could have one too❤😊
The bamboo delicacies there are also a must-experience. They are very delicious and nostalgic.
lol 27:45 there was a golden retriever refused to move so the owner has to drag his dog to go. It is so rediculous that dog just enter in goblin mode.
Love your videos. Suggest you guys to take a trip to either Guangzhou or Shenzhen, to experience the Southern part of China where almost everything in the world is made and distributed. Also, the guy selling the Toufu skin was telling you it's $1 each, not you have to buy a whole plate.
I normally don't enjoy food shows/ content but Alan is actually quite an interesting play-by-play flavour analyst. Nice work guys.
In China and many countries in Asia, chicken feet and pig feet are considered very delicious foods because they contain too much collagen. Although there is not much meat, you can clearly feel the texture of the meat inside. In addition, these foods are basically It is mainly braised and requires dozens of spices and medicinal materials to cook, so it is generally not cheap. I would like to say again that so-called animal protection organizations and individuals should protect wild animals, not poultry raised by humans. Humans do not If poultry is extinct, it will never be extinct. I like eating meat because it gives me strength. Your videos are great.
Omg your panda hoods are so cute!!
The pork looks so delicious, and my mouth is watering from Australia!
The food all looked amazing. Especially those dan dan noodles!
I remember when we first moved to Vietnam, we ordered "chicken legs" on one of our first food delivery orders. It was chicken feet. 😂
We're not squeamish with food and will pretty much try anything, so it was just funny.
Not gonna lie, your reactions were hilarious though. 😂
Really love your two’s video! I would recommend （肉夹馍）roujiamo from xi’an and （爆肚）baodu from Beijing those are signature food there! And I love those foods!
Damn these uploads are getting faster and faster!
Before clicking on the video, I thought Geoff Keighley had gone to China. I really like your accent.You are very brave. If you dare to try, you may find surprises..nice video.
Try frozen durian next time, you might fall madly in love with it. Durian is called the king of fruits for a reason, the smell of it is not really bad, it is caused by being too nutritious and too strong in fragrance. Great videos guys, welcome to China
Hilarious.
Great video.
Impatiently waiting for your new videos.
And where is the video of the trip to Panda Land?
Cute couple and great videos!🥰🥰🥰
That's great Shannon... trying something new... just like with anything, don't think too much about it.. just eat it and savor the flavors... :)
Really nice copule, hope you two have a good time in China
It's so funny to see people to eat chicken feet! especially their emotion! really funny!🤣
🤣🤣
Of course one dish you must try when you get to Beijing is Peking roast duck. There are many roast duck restaurants in Beijing, an all-around good one that locals also frequent is “Peking Chamber”, or “Si Ji Min Fu”. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed! Hope you have a good time in Beijing, my hometown.
Love your videos
22:10 The guy was telling you guys it's 1RMB for 1 skew 😆 A quick tip, if you see this again, just take however number of skewers you like and they will calculate the total price for you guys.
yes，that dish is served with plates to avoid your clothes or hands being stained by spicy oil
So lovely and cute two of you!! ❤For the durian, I hated it as much as you before I tried "musang king durian" bought by my Malaysian chinese relatives in Kuala Lumpur. So you can just try different kinds of durain like musang king. Its not stinky at all and completely changed my view on durian☺
🤣 Panda approved!! 💯💯💯❤❤❤. The 1st chippy + shirmp paste should be favoured by five spices powder + chilli powder + garlic powdor + msg! Keep the videos coming you brave young Scots!! 😁
Guys, Chili and Salt is the literal translation of 椒盐 (prounouced as Jiao Yan in pinyin which sounds like Gel Yen). Ask food vendors if they have 椒盐排条 (C/S spare ribs), 椒盐虾 (C/S shrimp) or whatever protein/seafood you fancy
I have followed all your videos along your journey in China so far and I found the food you had everyday in every city are actually snack or quick food for our Chinese people, not the main dishes in China. We typically won't have these as everyday lunch or dinner. So far you've only tried/discovered 30% type of Chinese food. You'd better go into a mall or some good-looking restaurant to order some plates of stir food and a cup of rice, that's what we daily have for dinner and lunch at home. And that will taste even better.
30% just in a month? No way… not even 1% I say.
you are so fun and cute! I hope you keep having amazing adventures, including the food ones ;)
We munch on chicken feet, it's not a filling snack, it's a fun snack and we like the squishy texture. Chinese like texture - it's an extra dimension barely explored in western cuisines. Some snack stands do sell deboned chicken feet - Gen Zs, whayagonnado?
Chicken feet are delicious in Cantonese/ hongkong dimsum. They are soft and just fall off bones.
You guys are brave! I like that.😆
I’m glad you gave durian another try! It’s an acquired taste but definitely worth acquiring! It’s one of my favorite fruits but the first time I had it as a kid I cried but it smelled so bad to me lol
The key to making very crispy pork is to make sure it is absolutely dry before roasting. You can actually make that using an air fryer and common ingredients that you can find in your local Asian supermarket or probably Tesco's at the Asian section. The different shades is the marinade that's made its way into the meat.
I'm laughing so hard watching you eat those chicken feet. I love chicken feet personally. It's really good.
I've found my happy place in the form of you guys channel. Alan's humour is both funny and endearing, and your positive energy is contagious. It's evident that you guys love what you do, and that passion translates into a series of videos that are a joy to watch. I appreciate the effort you put into creating content that not only entertains but also uplifts!!!!
Thank you for adding the subtitles... I like your accent
You're welcome 😊
你们太勇敢了
❤
It's refreshing to see you two can handle spicy food with ease. Finally someone can enjoy those authentic cuisine as is. =)
3:43 Alan asking for food again and again made me chuckle 🤣
22:12 In some parts of China, especially in Sichuan Province, hawkers sell all kinds food on bamboo sticks (usually cut in small bits) and you can take a tray to pick whatever stick you want.
They will count the number of bamboo sticks afterwards and charge you the respective amount. Usually vegetables are ¥1 per stick and meat might cost a l•bit more. So when you were there asking for one tofu skin, the man told you that those are all ¥1 per stick and he was trying to pass you the tray so you could pick whatever you want. 😊
The panda hat is cool
You two are really cute and really enjoy your video! Actually as a Chinese I don’t enjoy chicken feet either, but plenty of my friends really love that. Just don’t know why LOL
I laughed almost the whole time and watched the video part of you trying chicken feet. I also know that foreigners are resistant to chicken feet. In fact, after tasting it, you know that its taste is not as terrible as it seems. You just need to overcome some psychological barriers. I'm glad you all have the courage to try. This part is quite interesting.
I recommend a Beijing Duck restaurant called Si Ji Min Fu (四季民福), it is a very famous Beijing Duck restaurant in the local and they have lots of restaurants in Beijing, you can go either one.
You gotta visit HARBIN after visiting Beijing! It's so unique in China. There's an amusement park opening on Dec. 18th with lots of buildings and attractions made of ice and snow. You can't miss that!!!!
When you guys in Xian, one of the local favourd food is that the flat bread is soaked in a big bowl of hot lamb soup. Thy it to see if you like it or not. All the best.
27:35 look at the dog and the boy🤣🤣
I think the first dish was shrimp scorched rice. Westerners just don't see the animal parts in food. Chicken feet are just skin and tendon, rich in collagen. There is nothing strange about them.
The tan tan noodle is pork, seasoned with chili oil, sesame paste and peanut butter. Most of the street food look pretty good. Good durian are like eating ice cream. Either you like it or you don't.
@TAL142: The first dish included shrimp paste.
1. the "salt and chili" stuff is a teppanyaki style snack, one of the main ingredients is shrimp paste-minced shrimp meat blended with corn starch and other spices. that's why you can taste shrimp there.
2. the noodle dish is called Dan Dan noodle, basically it's plain noodle without topping. what make it different is the spices, chili pepper, sichuan pepper, pickles, and other stuff.
3. the tofu skin dunked in chili oil is called Bo Bo Ji or cold sichuan skewers, they are served in batch, 1 yuan for 1 skewer, that's what the vendor pointed out to you and made you confused, lol. usually people eat a lot of those skewers and barely eat just one. if you just want to try it, you can use your translation app to say stuff like "can I have one skewer? I just would like to try it", and usually the vendor will give you one for free.
your panda hat is so cute！
I almost laughed off my chair when I saw Shannon trying her first chicken feet.😆
我也是。😂😂😂
Seem like a great adventure for you two in these Asian cities, awesome videos. I studied in the UK (Hastings and London), and visited Glasgow and Edinburgh. That's a while though😅.
晚上在中国街道闲逛才是真的冒险，因为你会后悔吃太多😂
😂😂
Durian is an acquired taste, Alan tried 2nd time & he enjoyed it!
Try few more times, sure Alan will love it 😋
Love the dog scene in the background. It's all about timing.
