    Simon, as someone else who is experiencing male pattern baldness when you shaved your head you inspired me to do the same.
    Who cares if we're missing hair? We're rocking bald!

    • @sydney7793

      I think Simon looks great bald and I bet you do too! Rock that scalp! 🤗

      I have to say: agree with the "just order anything if you don't speak the language" tipp so much, when I was in Hong Kong I always did just that and was never disappointed.

    • @TheReeShow
      @TheReeShow 6 лет назад +1

      I agree she is always so adorable but there is something about her in this video. I thought at first that she seemed in pain. Maybe it's just because her hair is pulled back.

    Sparkling _red_ wine? That is intriguing! I'll be checking my local area if they sell it, for research purposes...
    I'm like Simon when I eat out with friends: not much of a talker. I enjoy the food and company. I'm beginning to interact more, baby steps!

    • @aznlovenecstasy
      @aznlovenecstasy 6 лет назад +11

      Callia I'm 99% sure it's called lambrusco. It's a sweet red sparkling wine that is served cold. It's amazing

    • @KCallia

    • @secretdiaryofafoodie
      @secretdiaryofafoodie 6 лет назад +2

      The brand of wine they had in particular was Sirromet, an Australian wine producer that sells a sparkling red. It doesn't taste at all like lambrusco, but that is also nice 😊

    @hegsC 6 лет назад +63

    What you tasted in the beginning is actually something call 生煎包 (sheng jian bao),which originated from shanghai china. 小籠包(xiao long bao), is traditionally steamed. but both are delicious!

    • @eatyourkimchi
      @eatyourkimchi  6 лет назад +8

      Ohhhh thanks for the info! :)

    • @LittleAmyHe
      @LittleAmyHe 6 лет назад +4

      Simon and Martina And don't worry about the "technique" of eating them. Everyone has their favorite way, so it's ridiculous to say there's a "wrong" way. :)
      I'm Chinese and I split my xiao long bao in half in a spoon, so don't worry about your poking! XD

    • @tslin8851
      @tslin8851 6 лет назад +4

      Yes, and No. In most parts of China, it is indeed 生煎包. The joint is called 上海焼き小籠包, Shanghai yaki Shōronpō (or Xiao long bao in Mandarin). Shōronpō is a much widely recognized general term in Japan for this soupy dumplings small, big, or even pan-dried. So Simon was right. That was exactly what they called that in the place. :)

    When I went to Japan with Uni for a scholarship program we also went to a standup bar, and only because there were Australian beer, haha my teacher was like yes! yes! ~If I go to Japan again I'm going to try Japanese food (try to have a bigger budget), because it was so sad being there, all they wanted to do was eat steak, italian, indian... (like where am I? japan? no? oh okay). i literally went to fancy western restaraunts haha. spending so much just because people didn't like fish, tempura, soup... hmmmm why are you in Japan then? sorry ranting. BUT YUM , memories TT

    Out of curiosity, when is it okay to share one dish among a party aside from izakayas/cafes/chains? I assume it's frowned upon to order one or two dishes to share in joints/restaurants with a high volume of customers considering the population density, how busy everyone is and the value placed on time. Is sharing generally accepted any where as long as more than one dish is ordered in proportion to the party size?
    'Cause I'm going to Fukuoka for three days and there's just so much to eat! There's bound to be a moment where I and 2-3 others want to try eating somewhere but will have to share 1-2 things out of fullness from a previous meal. I'm also worried I can't be the quick-in-and-out ramen eater who literally finish eating in 5 minutes. I love to relish while eating and am such a slow eater that I'm worried I may be disrespectful D:

    also question about the chip pay system, could someone hide some of the chips?

    • @madisoned
      @madisoned 6 лет назад +8

      I was thinking the same thing, but it's Japan, maybe people are just too honest to hide their chips

    • @azugirl111
      @azugirl111 6 лет назад +8

      Yes but Japanese people are pretty honest about stuff and the crime rate is really low over there

      Remember after the tsunami? Absolutely no looting whatsoever. Respect and concern for others is one of Japan's highest values, which is why its society functions so well.

    • @johannah.3930
      @johannah.3930 6 лет назад +4

      PQSusan SD it has to do with social/income equality. Japan has one of the highest income equality in the world and there are studies involving multiple countries showing how that lowers crime rates :)

    • @susangarland6869
      @susangarland6869 6 лет назад +10

      Please don't try to equate this with socialism. Japanese social norms have been in place for centuries, even in feudal times when there was more than just a bit of income inequality. If anything, it's the Buddhist influence in Japan that has helped to shape the Japanese moral character, which is all about putting others ahead of self. And this is a question of morality, not economy. Japan has its fair share of people living in poverty, but most of them never become criminals because of their strict adherence to the social/moral code. Both my husband and I are first generation Japanese Americans with deep ties to Japan -- believe me, income has nothing to do with it.

    One thing about Japan I love so much is that even when restaurants/cafes/izakayas have huge menus of various food, even the small dish in the very corner in the menu that not much people order tastes amazing.

      Have you found your Japanese friends not liking lamb? A bunch of Japanese people I know hate the taste. I don't know why. IT'S SO DELICIOUS!

    • @MetalOfHeaven777
      @MetalOfHeaven777 6 лет назад

      It is! It might be my favorite meat. I'm begging my mom to make it for Christmas this year when I go home.
      I've found that people, both from the US and Japan, either love it or hate it.
      No one is ever "meh" about it.

    • @VioletIceFire
      @VioletIceFire 6 лет назад +4

      From what I understand, they have been on the hunt for good vegetarian and vegan food in Japan and so far have been unsuccessful in that they haven't been very good. So far Korea seems to have more options in that respect, I'm sure when they find a good place they'll share it with us!
