"We're going to China."
"No, we're going to Queens"
Lmao
Flushing might as well be on the other side of the world lmao
They’re not spending that Worth It money lol
Lol thought China too
hahaha I swear I thought we were about to make my dream come true.damn.
Lol!!
Her: *I sit down respectfully and eat like a wild beast*
Me: That's me every dinner
LMAO HAHAHA😂
hahahahaha
True traditional Chinese parents/grandparents would say you're too skinny then cook a dozen dishes to make sure you gain 10lbs the next day lol
@@naritruwireve1381 And then your friends will say that you're too fat and then they'll make you go for a workout with them. Repeat.
@@naritruwireve1381 same
"I sit down, respectfully, and eat like a wild beast" 😂😂😂😂 I love it
ahahaha thank you!!
I literally read this comment as she was saying it lol
@@bellacorra1627 lmao same as soon as i looked up😂

“I’m like we goin to China”
“She like no we goin to Queens” 😂😂
You know damn well the food gonna be legit and poppin when the cook doesn't speak a lick of English
love me some kangaroo?!
FACTS!!!
straight facts bro
And his name is hector
Sunny Deng i feed my kangaroo dog
I am Chinese. They are actually two different dishes: Tang cu li ji 糖醋里脊& gu lao rou菠萝咕咾肉.
Both of them are sweet and sour, but in very different way. The former gets its flavor from vinegar and sugar, whereas the latter from tomato sauce and probably pineapples.
So the english names are confusing foreigners.
Hey Tian, is there a Chinese name for those shrimp balls that have sliced cubed sandwich bread on the outside that are fried...? This exact picture: i.imgur.com/O7ydyLp.jpg
Tian Nina 你好！我也是中国人！不是跟你一样的，
@@blognewb they're called 炸蝦球 (zha xia qiu), which is just fried prawn balls
1 is cantonese, and 1 is mid chinese
i think that the sweet and sour pork in the US or just out of china in general is their take on 咕咾肉. im chinese but live in sg and our sweet and sour pork is more similar to 咕咾肉. however, once in a while we do have the 糖醋里脊 but at authentic chinese restaurants. i guess 咕咾肉 is just easier to make
Brenda reminded me of Luis telling a story in antman
OMG YES!
SO MY COUSIN WHO HEARD FROM HIS GIRL WHO TOLD HIM THAT
🤣🤣🤣
FIRST THOUGHTS
No wonder I love her
« This boy Alvin and this girl Inga » got me dead 💀 😂
ICE Tiger this kid alvin
Yea with how they misrepresent Asian food
There are many variations of sweet and sour pork in chinese cuisine, they visited a Sichuan restaurant and it's obvious what they got is a sichuan version. The other one in red with peppers and pineapple is the cantonese style which is more famous in the southern part of China.
well said
yes!!!
Yes, as a Chinese I prefer the southern style with sweet pepper and pineapple,porked fried and covered with sweet and sour tomato based sauce. IMO It focuses more on the sweet flavor and crispy batter, and has no soy sauce, so it looks brighter and better than the Sichuan style. In China we call it 咕咾肉。
And can be found easily with South East Asia such as Singapore!
The version in this video.... as Singaporean Chinese, I didn't eat it before.
Yea! That's exactly what i wanted to comment!! I prefer the Canton style 咕咾肉 than the sichuan style (vinegar smell is too strong for me)
It's on the other side of the world
I'm thinking,"we going China"
"No we going Queen's" 😂😂😂
Brenda has such an awesome outlook and personality. I also feel like she does have a genuine respect instead of some fake shit she should do more videos
*We need an Asian version of pero-like* who's with me? 🙋🙋♀️
I'm not even Asian bit I 100% agree to this
No, I don't think so. Also, I don't like the loss of separate cultural identities by being labeled "Asian".
@@JCosio-bs9xr I agree that having separate cultural identities is important, but we also share many aspects of our culture and language. Having a unifying channel would be good because it not only gives insight on *real* Asian culture for other ethnicities, but it could also provide good Asian role models for children that didn't really used to exist. Role models that are more the average-andrew (get it? Spin off of the average Joe 😂) type of person because of how many kids watch RUclips now
there is already an asian version of that xD filipinos use ‘pero’ im the same way latinos do
Christopher Adam you’re thinking of Asians like the Chinese, the Japanese, the Koreans. Japanese and Chinese have similarities in language, but their dishes are all very different. There are also other branches of ‘Asian’, such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia... some of these cultures are similar, but you can’t just generalize them with the single word.
I have never seen this Brenda woman before but I absolutely love her.
Same. Her personality is absolutely delicious. And the sweet and sour pork is pretty good too.... (To everyone else: What.)
i like how you say *"brenda woman"* instead of "brenda"
venom5809 she’s like the only good judge during the food tasting videos from different chefs.
*bReNdA wOmAn*
If you watch Alvin's behind tasty videos you can see her. She's also in the American vs Japanese pancake video I believe.
there is an version of sweet and sour pork in China is quite popular called 菠萝咕噜肉, it has pineapples in it and the sauce usually has ketchup.
Chris Y thank you this is def the version I think of when I heard sweet sour pork
Some of these are reverse imported from the American way of preparing it.
@@syenosis bingo
This episode was so awesome, you guys are coming out strong for 2019 with great content. So fresh and vibrant.

cartersbread thanks I think?
Alvin很帥，他也很會做飯。(Alvin is handsome and he is a good cook). Brenda you're awesome too. I like that you embrace other cultures. I loved this episode.
Yooooo they should make a show called “tasty authentic”
Bangtan Aesthetics honestly!! The accessible versions have their place but I always want the real thing
Great idea!
Yes 👏🏾
SECONDED
Yes
As someone that has eaten sweet and sour pork very often (having grown up in South East Asia), I was very confused as to why 'American Sweet and Sour Pork' was described as an interpretation while the Sichuan style was described as authentic. The 'American' style is basically a Cantonese style sweet and sour pork, and yes, it's sweet. China is as diverse in its cuisine as India. No, it is not an interpretation, it's a different style entirely but just as authentic.
Haha I love her enthusiasm for food
Hermione Granger Ikr !
This kitchen just SMELLS...SO..GOOD
She has the enthusiasm
Hermione Granger every time I read your comments I feel like you are a very good person ❤
You are always so positive
I really appreciate how you understand what authentic food really means to someone who's from that culture
"...other side of the world"
"CHINA"
".. Queens actually"
Oh wow! I’m a Filipino-Chinese and I must say that I separated myself from the Chinese culture since my grandpa died... but latelt ive been wanting to learn how to cook chinese food cuz I miss chinese food and then it led me here and bec of your passion ... how you tell your story here... it made me cry!!!!
Weekend Inga and super fun cute Brenda!!! YAS!!!!
hahaha yeaaah! thank you!!
“So now you know we all cry together...maybe just me by myself in a bathroom”
Lmao mood
Did he just say "Anything for u Brenda!"
I'm freaking out
I mean she's taken so he obviously didn't mean in it any other way...
Omg I freaked out when I realized that I was Alvin saying that after reading your comment... I ship Inga with him... And with whom is Brenda??
he was just being nice why are u guys so fucking perverted and weird being nice doesnt mean ur flirting with everyone god
This video was great and I love Brenda to bits but can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautifully that pork slid out the pan and onto the plate at 7:45; damn😍😍👏
Thank you! and yes, let's all take a moment, please.
She was so hyped to go to China LMAO
omg it was so wholesome when alvin said “oh my grandpa used to make this!!” like :( it’s such a nice feeling to eat smt from ur culture
I am so happy that someone actually had authentic Chinese food! Go girl!!!!!
Thank you!!
I actually love this. Finding authentic cuisine, trying it all, and sharing it with others is 👏🏻what👏🏻food👏🏻is👏🏻about👏🏻. You could tell how excited the chef was that y'all wanted to see *real* Chinese cuisine because he made all that food for you.
OMFG I THOUGHT BRENDA LEFT TASTY AND SHE SURPRISED US!!!!
lolll I'm here!!
@@beautyandthesavage OMG . I love you ❤️ . I am 15 and u r one of my inspiration to cook . My mum is disable after an operation mishap . So sometimes I cook for my family and love to try out new thing bc of u . So thank you ❤️
@@cocomelon3431 Bless you and your family, Jennifer! What a beautiful story and lovely connection to food. Lots of hugs your way, gorgeous.
@@cocomelon3431 My thoughts are with you. I grew up with disabled parents. It can be very tough, but adversity in youth often makes for kind, responsible adults. It sounds like you are on the right track 👍 Much love and respect to you 💕
I tried the recipe with beef instead of pork (because I'm Muslim) and it tasted so good! Today, my mom is doing it again with chicken instead of beef. Absolutely tasted so good and you should try it too.
*PEOPLE NORMALLY DONT EAT THE DECORATION* that killed me🤣😂🤣
I've watched too much Top Chef and immediately thought "if it can't or isn't meant to be eaten don't put it on the plate"
I love how excited she was for all of this. She was so sweet talking about crying when her coworkers got excited about the food!
"I wanna *touch* it."
"I wanna *eat* it."
hahahahaha
*hAm fAM*
When she said eating food from your culture can make you relive a page from your life I felt that. It’s so true and I looooove Sichuan cuisine and working with Chinese colleagues helped light a fire under me to get to China. Also if anyone is in NY go to Cafe China and get the braised spicy fish and tofu! You’re welcome. :)
In all my years of watching RUclips this has to be my favorite. Involves food, love and tradition. Great Job!
She is so much fun to watch! Her attitude is infectious
When Alvin sincerely said “anything for you Brenda” I felt that 🥺
Ok.
First. I'm going to need more Brenda in my life.
Second. Where have you been hiding Brenda?
Third. Brenda.
I love you brenda
The crew's reaction choked me up....loved it, can't wait for the next vid!
Thanks, Kathleen!
My mum used to make it a lot. We ate so well in my household because my mum is Russian but grew up in Xin Jiang, China and is an amazing cook and my dad is Chinese and from Tian Jing and he was a chef by trade. I was so offended the first time I ate Chinese food at a westernized Chinese restaurant but now I've learned to appreciate it because it's nice to have people want to interpret our food in to their own special version. That way everyone can eat it!
"We all cried together....maybe just me by myself in a bathroom" 🤣🤣🤣
I love Brenda's videos- she always respects the culture she is showcasing and always leads with awe, admiration, and excitement to share the culture and dishes. Keep it up. Also please continue to share dishes from other cultures. As a fello foodie, I love collecting dishes from all my friends, that way when I cook their dish, it brings me closer to their culture and brings back a memory of them. So far I have cooked dishes from Denmark, Germany, Russia, and am going onto to dishes from Japan and South Korea. My take- try dishes from other countries and expand your world view and get a glimpse into another world.
Natasha Nussbaum I have found a fellow adventurous foodie!
I sit down , respectfully, then I eat like a wild beast 😂😂😂 she's the cutest
Brenda’s energy is equal parts adorable and cringey. I love her.
nightwishnemo she says she like everything Chinese. Ppl who admire CCP are like that. Look at WHO and Trudeau just as cringey
At 5.06 alvin says "ya anything for you Brenda" and i was like 🤯🤯🤯and also aww so sweet
I really loved this, now I want to watch more of Brenda just getting excited and eating authentic food. Her excitement makes me smile 😊
Y'all should try guobaorou (锅包肉）as well! It's another type of "sweet and sour pork" from China's Northeast region, and the coating is a lot crispier in comparison to tangcu liji.
Yummm! Will try!!
I Love her emotional speech of authentic food. ❤ especially when it wasn't her culture she was just Happy for her coworkers. 💚 That's Love..
Except the "American" version is pretty authentic.
You guys are awesome!! Can we get.some more "I Draw You Cook"?? Those are my favorites.
I have my version of this too
And cooking using one appliance, loved that 💖💖😂
Yeah! Loved that too!
Yes! I Draw You Cook is the best Tasty series
I love those too!!
well technically there 2 versions. In Cantonese there are 2 different names/versions I know of. one is the sweet n sour pork that's in cubes, pineapple, peppers, onions most people know and then theres the other one that usually has a fairly thin bone with a dark red sauce(maybe its called peking spareribs, but translated from Cantonese is sugar vinegar spareribs, and its very rare or hard to find a place that makes a good one nowadays) .
WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN HIDING BRENDA? She is a national treasure.
lot toh sehs
I ate this dish while I was in Guangzhou and I really miss authentic Chinese food. When I first tried western chinese food coming back home I almost cried because it just made me miss China. Brings back great memories.
*_Real Chinese Food has left the chat_*
_Bob McCoy 哈哈哈
all of your comments literally consist of so-and-so has left the chat.
*_very creative_*
noooo
@@justaracoonchillinginatoilet69
Ah, sarcasm... How original.
JK lol.
WHEN WILL U LEARN THAT UR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES oh, if you want more doses of him, you should see him in the Inside Edition comment section
Brenda's voice has this aura about it that makes me want to listen, more than watching the show. It's a voice of an angel. 😍😍😍
Wow! Thank you!!
I'm so grateful that this woman says "United States" instead of "America" from the rest of the world.
Arantxa Delgado thank god. When people say “here in America” I always assume it’s Guatemala.
same i always get my Venezuelas mixed up w my Canadas
Clearly that distinction does not translate in food
The dish came from Canton in the beginning, the actual original dish is "Sweet (Sugar) and Sour (Vinegar) spareribs. Back then this was a popular dish for the foreigners, so Chinese cooks changed the dish for their taste. From spareribs to tenderloin, and vinegar to ketchup, so no more bones and strong vinegar smell.
i love brenda's energy in this video!!
The American version is similar to the Cantonese way of making sweet & sour pork because most Chinese immigrants in the US are from the southern part of China. The one in the video is just another variation. In many sweet and sour dishes, the sweetness comes from sugar and the sourness comes from black vinegar, that's why the chef did not use any ketchup.
"We're going to chi-"
"We'r'e going to queens"
"...right yeah thats what i said"
I’m currently visiting Sydney and the food in ChinaTown is...AMAZINGGGG!! The closer you get to Asia the better the Chinese food gets 🤯😺. Seeking the original recipes is like finding the truth 😺 Great episode Brenda!
When she calls Chef Huang Don Juan 😂😂😍
Brenda can make a video about paint drying and it would be awesome. Her enthusiasm is the best!
Basil Mahmud hahahahaha
Isn't it obvious that food is adapted depending on where the restaurant is?
Yeah pretty much true with every cuisine. BTW, we have a vegan recipe of this dish, in case some of you want to give it a go!😁
The Tasty Vegan how
The best Chinese food I ever ate was in Venice.
@@ardiris2715 oh ma goodness. Maybe we went to the same store
Isn't it then obvious that the "Chinese" cuisine she's used to isn't actually Chinese?
Gotta love that authentic Chinese deep frying method! Presentation is also fancier than anything you'll see in China for that dish.
"I'm thinking we're going to China. She's like, 'No. We're going to Queens.'" Haha!
I'm Mex-American. Not putting Tasty down at all, I love your channel guys!!! But for Chinese recipes I visit: Seonkyoung Longest: Asian at Home. From her I've learned how to make delicious: beef n broccoli, General Tso, chicken fried rice, plus egg rolls!! The orange chicken recipe is like this one which really impressed me when Alvin said it was just like his grandpa made!! So I WILL make this one...!!
I love this because you can tell they're genuinely super into the concept for this vid, MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE
It's been 10 years since I visited China. Since then two expressions in Chinese remain in my memory:
Cesuo zai nar - where is the toilet? (a very bad experience)
Tan cu li ji - sweet and sour pork (a brilliant experience)
This stuff is next level. Up there with the best dishes I've tried in Asia.
She has such a great onscreen presence! I’ve always admired people like that
We need more Brenda :) So much energy and enthusiasm
Yayyy! thank you!
Thank you for sharing the recipe! It was so easy to do and it tasted amazing. This will be my go-to recipe from now on.
Brenda is one of my favs on this channel. I just started watching Tasty videos and I have never enjoyed the 'realness' of the people on a channel ever. I LOVE how everyone gets along and gives each other a hard time, but what I love the most is that everyone brings their own culture into the channel. I love the differences and variety and humor everyone brings. :)
one of the beauties of NYC is traveling the world for authenticity without having to leave the US.
I have said for YEAR'S if you want REAL Asian, go to Queens and I doubt you'll find moo goo gai pan.
I absolutely LOVE the many culture's of NYC, and pretty much the whole North East. And I live over 700 miles west of there.
I don't care what it is, but if you can think of it and CAN'T find it or someone who can in NYC....it just doesn't exist on this planet.... PERIOD 😎💩
"keep the faith people, and keep on keeping on"
Mikey Chen always says Flushing is the best and most authentic
Oh yes, praise nyc more, I live there, don’t stalk me, thanks.
Cant beat California
NY had the best Cantonese food and pizza..
They got some real real Asian food in sf China town San Francisco sometimes to Asian for my taste 😂
Brenda acting her every reaction like food wars is the best thing ever😂😂
Give me more videos like this!!! Interpretation cuisine isn't necessarily bad, but I miss the true Chinese flavors I had back in the day. Thank you for sharing!
More Inga and Brenda please! Love their enthusiasm =)
i love her attitude, really enthusiastic and likeable
I notice Brenda has less accent here.
I like that the chef was also showing different variations, like it wasn't just for business that he showed the Tasty crew how to make this, but he wanted to show more of the potential of the dish.
WHERE'S MY HUNGRY SQUAD AT??
I'm on a fast rip
I'm so fuckin hungry bro.

Right here!

I lived in China for many years, you have to understand that different parts of China are very different from each other. Interestingly, every part of China I've been to had something called 'sweet and sour', though that meant something else in each area. The kind you usually get in America is from the Canton region, it almost the same as in America, less meat and more sugar. This is more like what you'd see in the north.
The taste of sweet and sour pork is just next dimensional.
the chinese american sweet and sour pork came from the cantonese dish 咕咾肉 which is different from sichuan 糖醋里脊。
traditionally 咕咾肉 does contain pineapples,capsicum and tomato sauce, but the american version is far more sweeter.
theres also another version In the northeastern china called 锅包肉which is made from white vinegar.
"We're going to CHINA!" "No, we're going to Queens." Could practically hear her heart break. But honestly, as long as it's authentic/what you're looking for, who cares where it comes from. Guessing it's a lot cheaper to travel to Queens (depending where you live).
I’m half-Chinese. And I always eat the decorations. First, because I love veggies. Second, I don’t want to waste anything. Third, the dishes are too salty or savory and I need some freshness to balance it, aside from the rice. So you are pardoned!
Oh yum!!! I would love to taste the proper way it’s done. That spread at the restaurant looked amazing!! 🤤🤤🤤
I always order this dish in Japan and it became one of my favorites! The authentic one doesn't have ketchup and it has shiitake mushrooms. It's sweet but more sour flavored. Love it!
? The "American" version is authentic as well, and even with this version of sweet and sour pork I've never seen mushrooms. That must be a variation.
I love how enthusiastic Brenda is about the food
The beauty of Chinese cuisine lies in its diversity. For example, Chinese dumpling (粽子）you may get a sweet version in Northern China but in the Southern you may have a more savory dumpling. Food taste different across all regions in China due to its available ingredients and culture. Just like the Malaysian Chinese cuisine which is heavily influence by dishes in Southern China (Canton, Hokkien, Hainan, TeoChew etc). The reason for that is because most of the Chinese immigrants back then came from the Southern part of China. It may be different but that doesn't make it non authentic 😉 Cheer guys
WHY DO I ALWAYS WATCH THESE WHEN IM HUNGRY!!?????!!!!???
somebody bring her to china, PLEASE. I love her enthusiasm for food, I would love to see her excited over street food
Arisatosan Yes, please! Bring me to China! Lollll
I’m so making this tonight for dinner!!!! We’re getting a new stove today. My first dish with be your version of sweet and sour pork. My 4 year old daughter’s favorite food. Thanks for the video.
lailalovesdan i hope y’all loved it!
PeteyPistolDee03 it’s was ok. I totally didn’t make it right. Next time I’ll do better.
The sweet and sour pork with pineapple that you mentioned in the video was actually exist as an authentic Chinese dish, which called bo luo gu lao rou(菠萝古老肉）The different is the pineapple one people usually use the pork with some fat not the tenderloin.
Chef Huang: So today what I made was-
Brenda's Translation: Yo guys, I'ma make some Sweet and Sour Pork!
Brenda and Alvin are like best friends
This was a great video ! I like the style!
i am crying. TOO MUCH RESPECT for the CHEF. he is so GENEROUS.
👍Love Chinese food! I would love to try the real thing as well! 😊
Yes, you should absolutely!
Can we have a series of vids from Alvin showing how to make his favorite recipes from home?
