It's only cheap in US dollars, the average income of one person in wuhan is around 5000 yuan after tax (720 USD) per month, so technically not that cheap for a meal
@@changlu7814for me this is still okay? Not that cheap but not super expensive. You could save money with cooking yourself if you don't want to eating $2 for soup dumpling.
My girlfriend and I love eating Asian food in general. I get so hungry and jealous watching you get all this amazing food for cheap. It would be triple the price in Canada and not nearly as good most of the time.
I just made a very thickly gelled spicy beef broth and froze it to make into soup dumplings later on in the month! It's not *HARD* but it is definitely firm enough to cube.
I used to eat dumplings and steamed buns for breakfast in the US. I would just buy the fresh ones frozen from the Chinese grocery store and cook them for breakfast. You can eat whatever you whatever you want for breakfast.
@@solarmoth4628 lol true! And I definitely do that to get my fix. Traditional sweet American breakfast just isn’t good to me. But I meant that I wish I could go to a drive thru or diner to get noodles & dumplings for breakfast (if I was in a hurry or just wanted to eat out). Where I live, none of that is available until 11am.
Thanks for the insights! All the dishes, not just in this video, seem very meat focused. I’m curious, is it realistic to the vegetarian or vegan in China?
I've never understood why us americans tend to have such an attachment to certain foods at certain times a day, tbh. Noodles for breakfast is a favorite in our entirely American household lol
Partly culture thing, mostly lobbies from industries. It's well documented that bacon and eggs was lobbied by industries, and that cereal was invented originally to curb sexual appetite. Cereal in particular has a very interesting and very recent history. Look it up cause it's much more complex, but this is just a RUclips comment. Whatever it was, it's engrained now so it is what it is. I wish I knew enough about Chinese culture to know where Wuhan breakfast came from, It's delicious!
Subscribed as I have been an North American adolescent growing up in Saigon and a forbidden to eat the local food! My Mother would gaze longingly at acres of watercress, knowing the plant's farming methodology would send her to the hospital in record time. We had a Harbin cook in out Saigon household turning out American dishes in deference to three picky children under the age of 14. Dang! Wish I could live those 18 months again ... at 809!
@@captlanc it's not as simple as that, relatively speaking their salaries even if on average is lower than the US, their cost of living on the food budget is still lower if your diet is tailored to street food and places like this. And with how modern China has become, the income disparity has grown so there are actually a lot of people with salaries much higher than an average American's. The eating out culture wouldn't be so prevalent in China if it weren't as relatively cheaper to their other costs!
@veraserah how does that relate to anything I've said. I said to show the prices as they were in local currency, not USD, so we know how much they actually cost. It's disingenuous to list everything in USD when you're a resident there.
Do you see people having any like gluten issues in China? I’ve heard of people who have gluten issues being completely fine eating bread in countries like Italy because they don’t have all the preservatives and such in their food like the USA does. I have a gluten sensitivity so that’s why I’m curious!
Noticing a theme from your videos (love them!❤) and others that dairy seems much less common in wuhan or other Chinese dishes, is that a thing or is it just more personal preference of dishes chosen?
Asians are genetically less tolerant of lactose, you'll usually only see it in the form of yoghurt, where it has been partly broken down by the fermentation process, so dairy is not as much of a thing in China. To much my disgrace as I happen to live for cheese and butter and it's nowhere to be found 😢 Out of curiosity sake, where lactose is genetically more tolerated would be Nordic countries where I have friends that drink milk at lunch. As an in-betweener Iberian, that is just weird to me. We drink milk but certainly not at lunch. Fun stuff 😀
Dairy isn't very big in China. Lactose intolerance is very common in that part of Asia. I've visited China 3 times, not Wuhan though, I went to Suzhou in Jiangsu province close to Shanghai.
Dairy is considered an acquired taste by a lot of Asians especially in savory meals. They aren't used to eating it. Traditional dishes don't contain any dairy. It's also very fatty, which isn't a desirable characteristic.
No it's not! It's usually fermented soybean or broadbean source with chilly. Hoisin sauce is usually used at south China and coastal area of China. Don't pretend you know it all. Bbq sauce is just laughable. And Chinese bbq sauce is also totally different from your bbq source. It has so much more flavor!
There's a lot of vegetarian options in China, probably much thanks to the tradition of some monks. There's a lot of tofu and gluten dishes, and of course, a lot of vegetables in general.
No, in my province Shandong, there are a lot food only eat in breakfast, and the breakfast stand/shop close around 10:30, almost of them open super early like 5:30
Bro, she’s even trying to eat just like Asian people where they do that thing where they stuff all the food in the front of their mouth and they chew up and down, trying to make the biggest squirrel cheeks that they can make. It’s low-key kind of annoying. It’s like just eat the way you used to eat back in America girljust change the way you eat as far as their rules and customs but you don’t have to chew a whole different way.
How much money do you earn ? It must not be sizable....don't tell us if you don' t want to. The prices are crazy low..and with the huge population it is possible to have lots of applicants..! Is your husband a college grad..you are : correct? What do you do ? no specifics..like company name. Your life is very interesting...I am fascinated by Chinese history. I mean 5000 years of civilization, it is sad that the people that created all the beautiful art, fabrics, pottery, jewelry, music, drama, law, literature, medicine and advances in pretty much everything..left it in the past. 😊
Canadian here, I wish I had a cheap breakfast places of any culture near me! Id go daily!
Thanks for your amazing videos 💜

@@khoirunnisa2801 You are absolutely right, it's okay but definitely not cheap
China can't solve the food safety problem, and as a Beijinger, I rarely eat out. Only you foreigners would yearn for such food.
My girlfriend and I love eating Asian food in general. I get so hungry and jealous watching you get all this amazing food for cheap. It would be triple the price in Canada and not nearly as good most of the time.
The pork broth isn’t frozen, it’s gelatinous so when it’s not hot it congeals. I make a vegan version with agar or something plant based
I just made a very thickly gelled spicy beef broth and froze it to make into soup dumplings later on in the month! It's not *HARD* but it is definitely firm enough to cube.
I wish America was open to noodles and dumplings for breakfast! 😫
If you make it, you can have whatever you want for breakfast

Just eat mcdonald's for breakfast lunch and dinner
Everything looks delightful! What a great place to eat if you're a foodie. Yum! 🎉❤
This looks so delicious! ❤❤❤
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate and enjoy your content. Always so interesting and comforting. Love from Texas!!
Same here! Hello from Philly, Pennsylvania
Im jealous its so cheap! If I want Chinese for breakfast - i have to wait until 11 am and pay $10 for a meal 😢
$10 is cheap😅
I lived in Wuhan for three years! What I miss most is breakfast!
Is dairy uncommon there? The food she shares looks delicious but I noticed basically no milk products. I’m Just curious and like to learn💚
@@kendalbeverly2828 its pretty common in supermarket
Merry Christmas to you and yours, both in China and the U.S. 🎄
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too!
I miss Wuhan so much omg 🥲🥲🥲
All of it looks so yummy. I never heard of soybean cola before!
This looks amazing 😊

lots of vegetarians because buddhists! and great soy based dishes (variations on tofu).
that looks so good.
the soup dumplings look so good!
Your hair looks really nice in this video
My grandparents live in Shanghai, and we visit all the time. The food is amazing, also pork soup dumplings are called 小笼包(xiao long bao)

Now I want to visit China!
Welcome!
There is 240 hr visa free for selected countries now
Even in China, Wuhan's breakfast is also famous
$2 for breakfast? We can’t even buy half a cup of coffee back here with that.
It's not 2 bucks for the locals

6 dumplings for $2? Now I’m even more hungry
Thank you I’m going to china wear it appears I can afford to eat
非常想念在中国的日子，生活成本低，更多好吃好玩的地方。😮
Meanwhile, breakfast in America cost me $12 a plate plus a tip and I get a couple eggs some sausage and a biscuit lol
No way anywhere. You can eat a full breakfast be full for 2.00. Its a bargain worth it.
Damn the prices are amazing
Not sure why anyone would cook id eat takeout everyday if it was that cheap😂
That sauce is simular to hoisin sauce or bbq sauce they use on roast duck or bbq pork. Salty and savory
No it's not! It's usually fermented soybean or broadbean source with chilly. Hoisin sauce is usually used at south China and coastal area of China. Don't pretend you know it all.

no it isnt lol. its either 辣椒油 or 豆瓣 (fermented soybean) with chili oil
source : am a local
Those same dumplings here in GA US cost about $40 .. I’m so done here
Yummy

That's the only way to be there if you ask me, I can't believe anyone eats the meat there
Have youbeen there? Or you just get your jnformation from american media? @@AVTAVT
Meat there healthier than meat in USA. It lacks the hormones, and other crap added to USA meat.@AVTAVT
What about the drink what is ir
Sesame noodles?热干面
Can't forget reganmian!!
I'm Chinese
Have you ever seen the horrendous conditions pigs are being kept for por production. It is straight out of a horror movie
