Omg it's so interesting how the sign above the sample potato chips actually says "don't eat too many potato chips, they make your body too hot"..(Chinese people are always advised not to eat too much fried food as it makes one's body too hot or too inflamed.) Never seen that before...these are honest people.
@@JohnnysCafe_ This is referring to "heating" and "cooling" foods. Think of it as a sort of typology not too dissimilar to foods relating to certain humors of Hippocratic medicine. In this typology, you don't want to overload on either of them, so if you are going to eat a bunch of fried foods (heating by nature), you should have some foods that are cooling to balance it out. In practice, this just ends up being a sort of pairing system.

The preserved eggs are made from duck's egg. There are 2 main types of way that we do the preserved eggs. The black one, or what you usually call "century egg" is made from preserving it with quicklime, salt, clay, ash, which gradually increases the PH towards the alkaline side. This is eaten "raw", and has a pungent smell which some people like it and some done. In Southern China, we normally eat it with porridge, or mix it with tofu and soya sauce, sesame oilr. It is supposed to reduce heat inside your body, so when you have a soar throat with eating too much fried, spicy stuff, you take this to balance off. The white one is preserved with salt and ash only, without the quicklime. This tastes salty and it has to be cooked. In Southern China, we put the egg yolk in moon cakes, and rice dumplings with bamboo leaves. Egg yolk are used in a lot of dishes like stir frying it with crab roe, and so on so forth. Just be creative!
I am from the Netherlands and my husband is Chinese. We really enjoy watching your videos! Please do try the 1000 year old egg / century egg (the black eggs) they are absolutely delicious especially when served in rice porridge! Don’t let how it looks scare you! 😊 I learned when travelling to China to just try everything because often time it actually tastes amazing and you’ll get over the way it looks. I would also recommend trying a donkey burger with donkey soup (best to eat together / dip!) it is so so so delicious!! 😋
Absolutely right. I am Chinese, and at first, I didn't like century eggs either. However, after trying century egg and lean meat congee, I grew to like century eggs.
@@FrankZhang-pj9nn Because there are no middlemen in farmers' markets, many businesses produce and sell their own products, and the store rent is relatively cheap. Grocery stores generally order goods from these markets, and the store rent is more expensive than farmers' markets. This is the case in China.
Love these kind of farmers markets in Asia, with so so so many small venders, so the price won't be monopolized by a handful super big supermarket owners.
This is the way of understanding the world, seeing with our own eyes instead of listening to what others say❤ When I was a child, China was completely different from now, China was in your impression of being poor and backward. In just 30 years, it has built such convenient infrastructure, and has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. After I moved abroad, I realized what others saw us as. Indeed, there are many imperfections in my country. But a country committed to improving people's lives and lifting more impoverished people out of poverty should not be stigmatized in this way Thank you for coming, breaking down some cultural barriers and allowing more people to see the real China

Not only westerners, some Singaporens also insist that Chinese people are short of food and suffering from starvation. Around 2010, I was working in Singapore and had the chance to chat with Singaporen face to face. An impressive experience was that some Singaporen insisted that I made a wise decision by leaving poor China to escape starvation there and congratulated me for the ability to get enough food in Singapore. Despite I firmly expressed to them I did not the experience of famine and starvation, none of them trusted me and were angry saying I was lying for 'face'. Similar story happened in other countries than Singapore where the Singaporen immigrants think those from China moved overseas because of China being poor not able to supply enough food to the people. Some westerners who ever worked in Singapore told me they feel Singaporen discriminated Chinese from China and asked me why. I believe Singaporen would give the answer 'because Chinamen are not well behaved', but this reply is definitely not true since some Singaporen are not well behaved as well and well behaved Chinamen would be discriminated too. The true reason from my perspective is that Singapore as a tiny country is much more wealthy than China and Singaporen thus attribute this better wealth status to their superiority over Chinamen in terms of gene, IQ, EQ, etc. Not only Singaporen, but some Hongkongers and Taiwanese believe they are superior to Chinamen, in spite of the fact that majority of people from these three regions are descendants of refugees from China mainland. It is disappointing to notice that wealth growth does not make people of these three regions more humane and open-minded, but more arrogant. However, Singaporen are much better than Taiwanese, who have been made and spread massive lies on China under the organization and support of their government, not only in Chinese media but also in media of other languages including English.

True experiences, bro, no lie at all. A typical funny scenario regarding Singaporen is like this: In front of westerners, they speak English and also let them know they are good at Chinese/Mandarin as well; in front of Chinamen, they only speak a little Mandarin at the beginning, and then transfer to English with the reason that they knew only a little Mandarin/Chinese, even though you noticed them communicating in Mandarin/Chineses without any difficulty before talking with you. In front of westerners, Singaporen normally clarify and purposely emphasize they are Singaporen, not Chinese, particularly with the presence of Chinamen; however, in front of non westerners, most likely they do not mind to be taken as a Chinese.

I like the orange juice, especially after heavy street food. But it is the first time I see the number of orange used for a small cup (5-6) or a big cup 8-9). Honest guy. Consumer friendly.
I watch your video every day when I am in the shower. Today I ate a Roujia More because of U. I never find it’s so delicious like that!Thank you for inspire me. Sorry for my bad English, I am working on it ❤
I work in Kunming, and I have watched many of your videos about traveling in China, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Chongqing. You have finally come to Kunming. I wish you a pleasant trip in Kunming.
Luke is right to say he’s from Germany. If he say he’s from Ireland not many will know. People in rural areas know Germany more. The powder she sprinkled on the potato chips is seaweed. Yes the vegetables and meat inside the market is cheaper than the supermarket. It’s also fresh. They are delivery to the market every early morning. Yunnan is very famous for different kind of mushrooms as well as asparagus as the climate is best to grow them there in the mountain. By the look at the Chinese hamburger, it’s looks way better than the Chongqing one. The lady put lots of ingredients inside and it’s cheap. Anyway guys if you are still there have an amazing time . Can’t wait to watch your next one. Take care! Cheers! ❤
Your videos are so soothing! I'm a Chinese student & binge-watched your videos until 2 a.m. 😂(I randomly ran into the 1st Sichuan video and I just kept watching...) Yunnan is one of my hometowns and it's just so nice to (mentally) revisit the places I went to as a kid. Also, love your relaxed traveling pace.
You have convinced EVERYONE how good the 'Roger Moores' were because you dedicated FOUR minutes (around 1/8) of your video doing nothing else -- just eating them!!! 😂
I from Kunming! I showed this video to my mom, and when she saw you guys at the authentic food market in Kunming, buying a Shaanxi specialty (meat buns), she was so angry that she questioned me: didn't anyone tell them what the Yunnan specialty was? So here I am. If you guys are still in Kunming, you can try rice noodles, there may be hundreds of them in Yunnan, just pick your favorite. I also highly recommend trying the chicken in the steamer (Qi Guo Ji), you can taste the chicken broth without adding a drop of water!
Hi there! I'm really glad to see you traveling in my home country, China. Welcome! I noticed you might be using the hotel’s electric kettle to make instant coffee or for other things. Just a tip from a local: we usually don’t use the kettles in hotels when we travel. Sometimes they might not be as clean as they seem. If possible, I’d recommend getting a thermos and filling it with hot water from small local eateries. Of course, this is just a personal suggestion. Once again, welcome to China! If you get the chance, I hope you can visit my hometown, Nanjing, the “Six Dynasties Ancient Capital.” It has many beautiful sights and rich culture, and I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it.
16:45这种绿色蔬菜是莴苣。让我想起了在德国格林童话中，有一个故事就叫《莴苣姑娘》。 16:45 This green vegetable is lettuce. It reminds me of a Grimm fairy tale in Germany, where there is a story called "Lettuce Girl". 16:45 Dieses grüne Gemüse ist Salat. Es erinnert mich an ein Grimm-Märchen in Deutschland, wo es eine Geschichte gibt, die "Salatmädchen" heißt.
@bamboobamboo1157: The English name is *Celtuce* (莴笋, Wo Sun), aka stem lettuce (Scientific Name: Lactuca sativa var. angustana or asparagina) Scientific Names refer to the exact same plant around the world.
The green vegetable you didn't recognize called celtuce, stem lettuce " 萵苣 " or " 萵筍 " . It's a kind of popular vegetable in China. It's not only in hotpot and fried celtuce slices with chili is also delicious.
The scenery in Kunming is very beautiful. There are many flowers, plants and trees. The temperature is very suitable for traveling. Thank you for introducing so many sceneries and the real appearance of China to us. Wish you a pleasant journey.
The fruit next to the cherries you bought are fresh dates, one of my favourites. It should be sweet and crunchy. if you are interested, it's pretty nice
Recommend you to visit LUGU Lake. Most beautiful lake in Yunnan Province. The Mosuo people, who are living around the Lugu Lake , have their own unique marriage custom - living in the matriarchal way. You can visit Lijiang and then Lugu lake. The old town of Lijiang is the most popular town in China.
Roger Moore! What a great name you've given to this Chinese burger. Ro in Roger sounds similar to the Chinese character Rou (肉) which means meat. Ger in Roger sounds similar to the Chinese word Jia (夾) which in this context means sandwich as a verb. Moore sounds similar to the mandarin pronunciation of Mo (饃) which means steamed bun. So Rou-Jia-Mo (肉夾饃) is meat sandwiched in a bun. Enjoy your Roger Moore!
China has a very large scale of vegetable production, with not only large greenhouses but also many small farmers growing their own vegetables and selling them at markets. When I travel around the country, I am most interested in visiting local markets to learn about the unique species and goods available there. Two years ago, I visited the Zhuanxin Farmers Market in Yunnan, and it was indeed very lively. My personal favorite was the tofu pudding with rice noodles, a combination I had never thought of but found to be incredibly delicious.
Loving you guys more and more. Love to see Luke’s face when having yummy food 😋 and interacting with locals especially in simple mandarin. More fun, better experience. Looking forward to your next video already ❤❤
Every time when local people ask you "which county are you from?" and if you don't answer, they will ask again with less local accent. it's very funny and cute🤣🤣
6:28 Luke knows too much about Chinese sweetness. Lol.🤣And you can ask to try the fruit before buying it next time in the case of too sour. 16:45 I suppose it's celtuce. 17:17 They are salted duck eggs. It's kind of material of Mooncake with Double Yolks and Lotus Seed Paste (Cantonese style mooncakes). 27:32 Rou Jia Mo is a famous food from Xi'an, Shaanxi. Btw, maybe next time you can type and translate to let the sellers know that you only need one, sometimes they just assume you would like to buy two. Maybe it's ok for you but I suppose you would like to try more types of food. 😄
Also your favorite "sandwich"--Rou jia mo(肉夹馍) pronounced a little bit like Roger Moore in mandarin, so that's why people told you it's called Roger Moore, it's a gag.😜
I can't stop watching all of your updated videos. You are getting to know numbers in Chinese. Keep it going. It is fun. I would like to see you guys get fluence in Chinese numbers soon. It is easy. You only need to learn from 1 to 10, 100, and 1000. then you will know all the combination and good to buy all food you want. XD
the pumpkin-look green thing is called 姜柄瓜 (jiang bing gua, pumpkin/melon with a ginger handle). Yes, it is a type of pumpkin grown in high attitude. Not sweet. Ppl cook it with ham or pork.
awww hope I was back home and explore my motherland with you guys together even tho I am not a culture expert of my own country but at least I could help with breaking all the language barriers. Love from UK
17:20 the duck eggs with yellow yolks are salted and cured for a few weeks, the dark brown ones are century eggs, they are preserved with a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime and rice hay.
Glad to see you guys like Kunming’s local food. This is the "Zhuanxin" vegetable market near my home. I've been buying groceries here since I was a child. I highly recommend the steamed rice cake and the tofu rice noodles.
In fact, Rou Jia mo is the food of Shaanxi Province. Kunming can also visit Asia's largest flower market - Dounan Flower market; Try mushrooms, Yunnan mushrooms are really delicious
If you still have the opportunity, you can try Yunnan coffee. Yunnan’s coffee industry is very mature now, and many international brands have their planting bases in Yunnan.
The bun lady said “goodbye” in the Chinese way, which is “slowly walk”, like take care, depart safely that sort of meaning.
爱国的热心人👍
慢走（Manzou）=slowly walk
it just means "see you again"
”slow walk” means ”take care”
The literal meaning is' slow walking ', slow walking=goodbye!

菜市场这个风格如你们所说就像几十年前一样，只有我们国人知道，无论卫生以及食物丰富的种类早已经今非昔比了。这就是除了基建外，生活水平和生活质量的进步。我是1988年生人，老家生活在一个中国俄罗斯边境小县城里，小时候菜市场海鲜都没几样还都是冷冻的，菜的种类也没有那么多，对我们当地菜市场的一点点，一年年的变化特别有感触。这也是为什么我们要修建高铁，高速公路，中国很大，通过快速的物流运输可以让南北都享有以前只有在本地才能吃到的新鲜瓜果蔬菜，鱼虾海鲜，降低这些食材等的成本，让人们经济得到改善，这也就是我们总说的一句话，“要想富，先修路”。提升了生活质量的同时也保障了种植养殖业的收入。

No middlemen make a profit from the price difference
在门口有物价表。每个物品都有价格区间。政府有专门的部门来管理，称为物价局。比如前几年猪肉太贵。政府就会给养猪的农户养殖场做补贴。鼓励多养猪，让猪肉回归正常。中国政府很注重民生相关的价格。因为在中国有句话叫“民以食为天”。这是老百姓最基础的需求，必须要得到保障。所以中国人均GDP不是很高但是老百姓依然能生活的很好。

我很喜欢你的视频。你的视频真实地反映了中国的各个方面，而不仅仅是一些一线发达城市。保持真实，把好的和坏的都展示出来。我相信中国人愿意接受坏的并改正，但我想中国人一定厌倦了西方媒体的妖魔化。来自马来西亚的爱🥰🥰
我们对于西方媒体的妖魔化见怪不怪了，这说明西方越来越害怕中国的发展速度
厌倦这个词用得好哈哈哈
Agreed ❤毛主席说＂有则改之无则加勉，其实我们不需要表扬，夸大＇妖魔化，但是如果有错保证虚心接受，如果国人能改掉吐痰坏习惯就更好啦😢
11:50 - the purple cake is made from purple potato and rice.
I always visit this farmer's market every time I go back to my hometown. Each time I often discover some pleasant surprises! Highly recommended.
3:22 The banner above reads' The people's yearning for a better life is our goal of struggle '人民对美好生活的向往就是我们的奋斗目标
You guys really enjoyed your trip in China, I have been following your video travels❤❤❤
You guys must try mushrooms in YunNan!!! It is just dangerously delicious and fresh, it is one of a kind!
Try some cross the bridge noodles 過橋麵 if you haven't already. It's a famous local dish and tasty.
We are fortunate to be able to try these cross the bridge noodles at our local Yunnan restaurant in Katy, Texas! The restaurant here is called Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle 十秒到雲南過橋米缐
I like the orange juice, especially after heavy street food. But it is the first time I see the number of orange used for a small cup (5-6) or a big cup 8-9). Honest guy. Consumer friendly.
Thanks!
Visiting local market is my favour during traveling. The local market is the best place to explore the local culture and local people's live.
Wow! 2:52, “我来自德国I'm from Germany”. I didn't expect you to learn Chinese and your pronunciation is very good. Keep up the good work haha❤🎉
I watch your video every day when I am in the shower. Today I ate a Roujia More because of U. I never find it’s so delicious like that!Thank you for inspire me. Sorry for my bad English, I am working on it ❤
The green veg is called "wo sun"，which is asparagus lettuce in English.
I work in Kunming, and I have watched many of your videos about traveling in China, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Chongqing. You have finally come to Kunming. I wish you a pleasant trip in Kunming.
Look you guys are learning Mandarin! 🎉🎉
❤❤❤
Your Chinese has improved greatly, and you have basically answered correctly! Every time I watch your videos, I see the current food❤
Luke is right to say he’s from Germany. If he say he’s from Ireland not many will know. People in rural areas know Germany more.
The powder she sprinkled on the potato chips is seaweed. Yes the vegetables and meat inside the market is cheaper than the supermarket. It’s also fresh. They are delivery to the market every early morning. Yunnan is very famous for different kind of mushrooms as well as asparagus as the climate is best to grow them there in the mountain. By the look at the Chinese hamburger, it’s looks way better than the Chongqing one. The lady put lots of ingredients inside and it’s cheap. Anyway guys if you are still there have an amazing time . Can’t wait to watch your next one. Take care! Cheers! ❤
Your videos are so soothing! I'm a Chinese student & binge-watched your videos until 2 a.m. 😂(I randomly ran into the 1st Sichuan video and I just kept watching...) Yunnan is one of my hometowns and it's just so nice to (mentally) revisit the places I went to as a kid. Also, love your relaxed traveling pace.
You have convinced EVERYONE how good the 'Roger Moores' were because you dedicated FOUR minutes (around 1/8) of your video doing nothing else -- just eating them!!! 😂
謝謝！
Thanks so much for your support!
I from Kunming! I showed this video to my mom, and when she saw you guys at the authentic food market in Kunming, buying a Shaanxi specialty (meat buns), she was so angry that she questioned me: didn't anyone tell them what the Yunnan specialty was? So here I am.
If you guys are still in Kunming, you can try rice noodles, there may be hundreds of them in Yunnan, just pick your favorite.
I also highly recommend trying the chicken in the steamer (Qi Guo Ji), you can taste the chicken broth without adding a drop of water!
肉夹馍 is the best! I almost eat roujiamo everyday. So delicious and that's the reason why you can find it in every corner of China.
China truly is food lovers paradise, anywhere you go. Myriads of variety and recipes, all unique.
🎉🎉🎉
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man, my mouth is drooling the whole time as you guys are walking around the market🤤 I wanna see the freshest mushrooms of the season😊❤
Hi there! I'm really glad to see you traveling in my home country, China. Welcome!
I noticed you might be using the hotel’s electric kettle to make instant coffee or for other things. Just a tip from a local: we usually don’t use the kettles in hotels when we travel. Sometimes they might not be as clean as they seem. If possible, I’d recommend getting a thermos and filling it with hot water from small local eateries.
Of course, this is just a personal suggestion. Once again, welcome to China! If you get the chance, I hope you can visit my hometown, Nanjing, the “Six Dynasties Ancient Capital.” It has many beautiful sights and rich culture, and I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it.
Yunan is very famous for its tremendous kinds of mushrooms. Strongly suggest to try some! And the purple rice cake is the purple sweet potato flavor.
YunNans mushrooms are extremely well-known, you just have to try it🎉
那绿色蔬菜是莴笋
@user-jg9un6oi8c: No.The English name is Celtuce (莴笋) (Lactuca sativa var. angustana or asparagina)
i love this market video. in NZ, we haven't got anywhere near the choices I see in this one market. very envious. china is so lucky.
Very good at describing food and taste
😊
16:45这种绿色蔬菜是莴苣。让我想起了在德国格林童话中，有一个故事就叫《莴苣姑娘》。
16:45 This green vegetable is lettuce. It reminds me of a Grimm fairy tale in Germany, where there is a story called "Lettuce Girl".
16:45 Dieses grüne Gemüse ist Salat. Es erinnert mich an ein Grimm-Märchen in Deutschland, wo es eine Geschichte gibt, die "Salatmädchen" heißt.
摊上摆的是吃叶的凤尾。他们吃火锅的时候吃是吃秆的莴笋。但是莴苣姑娘很可能是他们最常见的生菜。毕竟故事原文是偷了莴苣做了色拉吃。
@bamboobamboo1157: The English name is *Celtuce* (莴笋, Wo Sun), aka stem lettuce (Scientific Name: Lactuca sativa var. angustana or asparagina) Scientific Names refer to the exact same plant around the world.
Now Luke is able to use simple Chinese to communicate with local people👍👍👍So glad you appreciate Chinese food, place and people👍👍👍
22:00 Support your local vendors who are selling fresh, local produce. *Absolutely!* This thinking is essential for our world to thrive.
The green vegetable you didn't recognize called celtuce, stem lettuce " 萵苣 " or " 萵筍 " . It's a kind of popular vegetable in China. It's not only in hotpot and fried celtuce slices with chili is also delicious.
Farmers growing in their fields. They bring to farmers market very cheap and fresh.
The scenery in Kunming is very beautiful. There are many flowers, plants and trees. The temperature is very suitable for traveling. Thank you for introducing so many sceneries and the real appearance of China to us. Wish you a pleasant journey.
U guys make the rou jia mo so tasty, drooling
❤
@@djyx8 hahaha yes!!
Like all the video from you lovely couple. Stay curious and enjoy your journey in China.
If you have a chance, I recommend 黑芝麻包 (black sesame steamed bun) and 奶黄包 (custard bun). I really liked those! :)
The fruit next to the cherries you bought are fresh dates, one of my favourites. It should be sweet and crunchy. if you are interested, it's pretty nice
it's because i haven't had fresh dates for so many years, because I didn't really find them in UK. Craving it now that I see it
Great choice to visit🎉🎉🎉 enjoy the day ❤
Thanks so much for the support ♥️🙏🏻
You both are open-minded and positive, behave respectfully and politely, so you are welcome everywhere.
Recommend you to visit LUGU Lake. Most beautiful lake in Yunnan Province. The Mosuo people, who are living around the Lugu Lake , have their own unique marriage custom - living in the matriarchal way. You can visit Lijiang and then Lugu lake. The old town of Lijiang is the most popular town in China.
Oh my god, when you two visit this market, I should be fishing in the nearby river.🤣😂😂 I wish you both all the best and happiness in Kunming.
Roger Moore! What a great name you've given to this Chinese burger. Ro in Roger sounds similar to the Chinese character Rou (肉) which means meat. Ger in Roger sounds similar to the Chinese word Jia (夾) which in this context means sandwich as a verb. Moore sounds similar to the mandarin pronunciation of Mo (饃) which means steamed bun. So Rou-Jia-Mo (肉夾饃) is meat sandwiched in a bun. Enjoy your Roger Moore!
I love the explanation of the meaning. Thank you!
China has a very large scale of vegetable production, with not only large greenhouses but also many small farmers growing their own vegetables and selling them at markets. When I travel around the country, I am most interested in visiting local markets to learn about the unique species and goods available there. Two years ago, I visited the Zhuanxin Farmers Market in Yunnan, and it was indeed very lively. My personal favorite was the tofu pudding with rice noodles, a combination I had never thought of but found to be incredibly delicious.
Rou Jia Muo means Meat in the bun, and it sounds like Roger Moore.🤭🤣
i like your translation of Roujiamo (roger moore). it's originally from Xi'an. You can find it everywhere inChina. I also like it very much.
这个肉夹馍看起来也太好吃了吧😍我家就在这个农贸市场附近，我这个周末就要去买这个肉夹馍！！！！！
😭😭😭你买就买呗 还非得说出来😭😭
Nice hawkers street dood centrea shopping 🛍️🛒
China roadside food stalls and shops look far, far more hygienic compare to many South Asian and Southeast Asian countries.
中国对食品安全监管非常严格，无论大小生意，一旦发现或被举报，将面临罚款和法律追究
这些合法经营的商贩都要接受一年一度的健康检查（政府支付费用）只有确认没有健康问题才可以营业😊
Customer's eyes are the best health check
我是你们的忠实粉丝，不管在抖音还是RUclips我都关注你们，看你们吃美食是一种享受，看完还意犹未尽😊 肉夹馍是我们西安的美食特别美味😋 你们的善良也感染着我们中国人，很喜欢你们❤ 祝你们在中国旅途愉快 游览大好河山
❤️🫶🏼
Impressed with the Chinese skills 🙌 ❤
Looking forward for your next Chinese-travel series!!!
@@YuanLi-m4b can not wait to come back!
OMG, this video makes feel so hungry! This market is in my bucket list now!!
Loving you guys more and more. Love to see Luke’s face when having yummy food 😋
and interacting with locals especially in simple mandarin. More fun, better experience. Looking forward to your next video already ❤❤
Every time when local people ask you "which county are you from?" and if you don't answer, they will ask again with less local accent. it's very funny and cute🤣🤣
Yeah, if I speak Chinese slower or speak more accurately, then you will know Chinese😂
What a incredible Journey! You guys are humble and respectful to locals throughout from your video. Awesome ! Keep going!
6:28 Luke knows too much about Chinese sweetness. Lol.🤣And you can ask to try the fruit before buying it next time in the case of too sour. 16:45 I suppose it's celtuce. 17:17 They are salted duck eggs. It's kind of material of Mooncake with Double Yolks and Lotus Seed Paste (Cantonese style mooncakes). 27:32 Rou Jia Mo is a famous food from Xi'an, Shaanxi. Btw, maybe next time you can type and translate to let the sellers know that you only need one, sometimes they just assume you would like to buy two. Maybe it's ok for you but I suppose you would like to try more types of food. 😄
16:45 是莴苣 lettuce
@@annawong3297 是的，但是生菜也是lettuce，如果他们搜索图片会出现生菜。
Also your favorite "sandwich"--Rou jia mo(肉夹馍) pronounced a little bit like Roger Moore in mandarin, so that's why people told you it's called Roger Moore, it's a gag.😜
@@annawong3297 Lettuce is different from this in Europe / America. It’s 生菜。
I can't stop watching all of your updated videos. You are getting to know numbers in Chinese. Keep it going. It is fun. I would like to see you guys get fluence in Chinese numbers soon. It is easy. You only need to learn from 1 to 10, 100, and 1000. then you will know all the combination and good to buy all food you want. XD
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
the pumpkin-look green thing is called 姜柄瓜 (jiang bing gua, pumpkin/melon with a ginger handle). Yes, it is a type of pumpkin grown in high attitude. Not sweet. Ppl cook it with ham or pork.
WOW, your CHINA VIDEOS are amazing. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing
Awesome street food tour 👍
Friendly locals 👍
Abundance of produce of every kind 👍
awww hope I was back home and explore my motherland with you guys together even tho I am not a culture expert of my own country but at least I could help with breaking all the language barriers. Love from UK
17:20 the duck eggs with yellow yolks are salted and cured for a few weeks, the dark brown ones are century eggs, they are preserved with a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime and rice hay.
Glad to see you guys like Kunming’s local food. This is the "Zhuanxin" vegetable market near my home. I've been buying groceries here since I was a child. I highly recommend the steamed rice cake and the tofu rice noodles.
In fact, Rou Jia mo is the food of Shaanxi Province. Kunming can also visit Asia's largest flower market - Dounan Flower market; Try mushrooms, Yunnan mushrooms are really delicious
希望他们来西安吃正宗的哈哈哈哈
@@liu-k9k 我也挺希望他们能去中国北方看看的😊
The purple rice cake is purple sweet potato 🍠 flavor. 11:54
20:48 you missed a Yunnan coffee shop😮Yunnan abounds with coffee，remember to try it😊😊😊
看你们吃肉夹膜我都流口水了❤😋
The vegetable is called wo ju, it’s Lactuca Sativa 😊 it’s very nice I have been growing them in the UK
As a Chinese, I have not seen such a fresh and alive farmer market for quite long time. Sooooo intresting.
If you still have the opportunity, you can try Yunnan coffee. Yunnan’s coffee industry is very mature now, and many international brands have their planting bases in Yunnan.
Nice place nice China ❤
Thank you for your exploration. I hope you can go to more places
