The mamahs tried mapo tofu which is a spicy, numbing tofu dish! Another dish they tried was peking duck, a classic Chinese dish consisting of crispy duck in a soft bao bun! A few other classic Chinese dishes were egg drop soup, xiao long bao, custard buns, kung pao chicken, and chicken feet!
What would you like to see the mamahs to try next?

What’s the BEST Chinese dish? 🇨🇳
Peking duck! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
My fav is xiao long bao
Soup dumblings
Mapo tofu. And I’m actually of Chinese descent myself, and I specifically requested a video like this and finally got it!
@@danielsantiagourtado3430I like Peking duck, but the only problem I have with it is that’s too bony
The lady with the red scarf is old world perfection. Her parents didn’t waste anything, and her reaction to chicken feet is solid gold.
Agreed!!! She’s a true foodie! Honestly chicken feet are so good the world is missing out !
What many people don't know is that chicken feet is not only eaten in Asia, but in many Latin American countries as well.
Chicken feet are delicious, i don’t understand why such big reaction.😂
@@zhongxingjin846 Not everyone finds them delicious, so that's why. lol In your opinion they might be delicious, but people have different tastes, ya know? Your opinion is subjective.
@@zhongxingjin846 I'm not a fan because it's just so full of cartilage, making it hard to chew. I also don't really like the texture of it.
I love how Alma looks like she wouldn't be very adventurous with food, but she actually likes all kinds of exotic things 😂👍
I was thinking the same thing. She's a really good eater with a very open palette who doesn't get phased by anything. Respect.
You're talking about the feet, right? 😅
They should of told all of them eating chicken makes them younger and refreshing beautiful skin 😌
@@LindaC616 Definitely the feet, but not only 😂
I love how willing she is to try the different foods!
Hmmmm. I’m surprised they didn’t include white rice with some of the dishes. Eating the dish on its own is extremely overpowering
Yeah because I couldn't do mapo tofu without white rice. 🥵🥵
Lazy research on Chinese cuisine
@@jasmineh9768 Agreed. I can feel my mouth so irritated just watching them eat it solo. White rice does change the way it taste quite drastically.
facts
When they brought out the mapo tofu and I noticed there was no rice, my eyebrows immediately raised. almost like they had an incomplete dish
The new mom in the red, Alma, I like her. She seems to look at everything in a positive way. Overall, I like how everyone tried it all and looked at the bright side in everything they ate.
as a Chinese person I feel like I am obligated to inform the viewers that literally only 2 items shown in here are considered "authentic", most of the other items are called their authentic name, but they actually presented the American version of the actual Chinese dish.
Fr, I was quite confused watching this. The mapo tofu and peking duck didnt seem like it was cooked well too, and I wouldnt expect the chicken feet to be made in that sauce. There are more things that are off like fried squid not being what I would consider as authentic chinese food in the first place. Regardless, I’ll just not name every single thing that is wrong here 😢
I feel Americanized Chinese food as been around long enough that it should be classified as a regional variety/style of authentic chinese cuisine. The style strongly extends its roots from Southern China, mainly the Guang Dong province. I feel this video isn't even the best representation of the true American style chinese food, where is the ginger beef or the general tao chicken, or the egg rolls lol. I do recognize that some of the dishes presented may not be the best representations, however I do question your claim regarding the authenticity of the food. I view it as a bit overblown and extending into cultural food purism.
My take on each dish:
- really simple, hard to mess this up
- needs a bit of corn starch to thicken the sauce up, and maybe a bit less oil otherwise it looks ok
- not a fan, but I see most dim sum places, if not all serving it up like this
- its just broth, egg, starch and veggies
- I do question the authenticity of this one though based on it being the most intensive of all the dishes to make, it definitely requires experience and the right equipment to do it well. Typically, in the seafood/banquet style restaurants, the duck thinly sliced taking off mostly skin, which then is served with thin crepes, rather than baos. The unused parts of the duck are then prepared into additional dishes like, duck meat & lettuce wraps, or duck soup.
- i dont eat this often or at all, but remember it being saucier and spicier looking , kind of more like the mapo tofu
- they look fine honestly, but serving them in the aluminum containers is a bit odd to me though, and the packet of sauce is a bit suss. throw them into a bamboo steamer boom authentic lol.
- looks pretty good to me, i order this every time whenever at dimsum
- i also get these every time at dimsum 🤤i do prefer the salted egg yolk custard buns over these ones though
@@montvna I don't think your first statement is fair. At the end of the day, Americanised chinese cuisine is fusion food at most. Saying that because a fusion food existed for a long time, hence it can be called an authentic Chinese dish hardly make sense. Afterall, it is not like America is in China, so it cannot be called a regional cuisine either.
The congee, chicken feet and custard buns are dim sum staples. The congee looked legit. Chicken feet likewise, but the description makes me think that the sauce might be off? Custard bun seemed fine. Kudos to whoever made it look like a pig.
The fried squid is something that you might find in a HK dai pai dong. So it might be a regional quick service dish that never sees the light of day north of the border?
Xiaolongbao, I don't think soup-filled is the original version, but it is one that may have been popularized by the Taiwanese Din Tai Fung chain. Should be served with some black or red vinegar though. And they should've told the first lady not to eat it whole like that. If the soup is still hot that "explosion" would not be fun.
Peking duck, I'm more used to seeing a version with a crepe as opposed to bao. Probably fine in terms of giving the ladies an idea of what it is.
Kind of disappointed the ladies didn't get some roast pork. Would've been good to see how they compared the crispiness and crunch of the skin to chicharrons.
Yeah, no. American Chinese food can stand as its own thing, much like Korean or Indian Chinese food, but it cannot be classed with regional Chinese styles. That'd be like calling Chicago style pizza "Italian".
As a Beijinger, I'll just point out the Peking duck is very far from authentic and is in the Cantonese style. Just visually, proper Peking duck is eaten with steamed "crepes" and the meat is sliced very thin. The steamed bun shown is , at best, a very recent variation.
OKK we need to re-do this. You need a bowl of rice on the side to go with mapo tofu. LOL no utensils for the chicken feet haha - this was great!!! all the foods i grew up eating. I love that congee as well!! you really nailed it with the authentic chinese good and not just chicken balls. So happy with this video :) well done.
I'd say it was good effort but they really miss the mark with a few dishes. As someone from Beijing, the duck dish is always served with a paper-thin steamed flour wrapper (not a bao) along with sliced spring onion and a sweet fermented flour paste sauce (just enough to coat your chopsticks, don't overdo the sauce). The bao version is probably a southern interpretation. It's not atrocious or anything but it's like taking a deep dish pizza and claiming it's the authentic New York pizza. NYers won't like that lol.
I love how Mama Alma is so respectful to foods from other countries.
She's kind of boring, and too polite. I prefer honest opinions. Like, sometimes you can tell she's not feeling the food but she'll say that she likes it. Why lie?
Sra Alma…love her critiques…classy, diplomatic, and always willing to try…talk about a sophisticated palette. Other ladies were overly dramatic on some of the dishes and insulting at times…give your opinions but respect the cuisine. Come on…we can all appreciate each other’s cultures.
They were giving their honest opinions...if I don't like something, I'm not gonna lie and say "mmmm yummy" just to be nice.
This isn’t political correctness 101. It’s a show based on people’s preferences and tastebuds. I wanna see their real authentic reactions not some fake inauthentic reaction just to appease fake people like you.
@@Lilstewie1313 theres a difference between not enjoying something, being honest about disliking it while still remaining respectful instead of insulting it. no one is saying they should lie and pretend they like it
@@ash.1353 I didn't see any disrespect in the video... but once again, I bet you all are USians telling other countries how to behave.
@@jorgeescudero5034 im not american, and i also wasnt offended by their reactions. but i can understand how some people might have 🤷
Alma was perfection in this. I loved her respect for the foods she tried and how she effortlessly tied it to a story or memory of her own. Also, the way she told said stories was so pleasant and soothing; I would love to hear her do an audiobook or something.
The 3rd lady with the red scarf is so amazing, I like her approach to trying the meals and giving a good review .
Keep Alma she has a soothing soul. She’s my favorite I’ve only saw 3 episodes tho. I trust her palate.
I trust Xochitl’s opinions when it comes to Mexican food. But the Chicken feet reaction just pissed me off! They should have just cut out her scenes.
@@jesusgamboa9899she knows nothing about Mexican food. 😂 I don't think she even cooks. A todo le hace fuchi, she shouldn't even be in the video.
@@Rowan-uh5er with all due respect, I am Mexican and her observations regarding Mexican food are very similar to mine. I definitely don’t always agree with her opinions and way that she expresses her opinions, but I can definitely say that she knows what she is talking about.
Oh, and go watch her pozole and chilaquiles videos. She knows how to cook.
@@jesusgamboa9899 I'm Mexican too that's why I'm saying it. I mean what Mexican hasn't had chicken feet. Alma seems more knowledgeable, like she cares more about the food as opposed to Xochitl who seems to care more about eating.
@@Rowan-uh5er I agree with your observation about Alma
Honestly, chicken feet is by far the most savory dish i've ever eaten when cooked right, it is very flavorful when cooked asian style.
I've eaten it Trini style, chicken foot souse. I liked it
Doña Xochitl describing her experience with duck is exactly what my mother went through as a child, and to this day my mother refuses to eat duck if she can avoid it. 😆 But kudos to her for eating the Peking Duck.
Yo that chola mom is hilarious.
Exactly! She be having me cracking up! I can’t find her name for the life of me! 😆
@@missfrancis8175At the beginning, it says her name is Lulu. 🙄 So Lourdes, Luisa, o Lucía 😂
Isn't she the best 😂😂??
Ikr I love her
should have had them try crispy pork belly (siu yuk). Those are amazing, especially the skin! I imagine it's similar to a Chicharrón.
Omg yes ! I havnt even seen the vid yet and was wondering if they did or not
i think they will love it since they had lechon in another vid and they're both pretty similar
Mapo Tofu is always always always eaten with steamed rice.
hell yeah, the ONLY way to enjoy it properly is when the rice soaks up that amazing sauce
It seems that they’re eating takeout food. They might be more satisfied and have a better impression eating freshly prepared food.
Exactly... they claim that they're eating authentic Chinese food but I'm sure they just went to the local shop on the corner. 💀
I love lulu. She’s so authentic.
Alma is the best tbh I envy her sensibility
Love abuela with red scarf, reminds me of mine who I don’t see very often 💗 very sweet
You guys didn’t tell Lulu that chicken feet contributes to beautiful and healthy skin because of the amount of collagen it has 😅
I love this video and I loved that lady in red really enjoyed Chinese food. It’s amazing to be this open minded and try things that might seem strange and different to you. Culture is for sharing, this is amazing
"it's SpongeBob's hommie" I scromed😂😂😂
Lmao Lulu reacting to the chicken feet had me cracking up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They forgot to tell her that eating chicken feet will make her skin ageless 🤣
She's quite the dramatic
Chicken feet is soooo good! 😭 people get creeped out, but if you get passed the way it looks, I’m sure you will like it lol. I like getting it when I am at Dim Sum!
Some cultures are disrespectful to feed these to them.
When I was little and my parent no have enough money for food so they buy all the cheap parts of the chicken and beef liver and blood sausage. I order today liver and onion at the restaurant and a person that was with us say yuck I no like that, I no eat that even if they pay me and I say well i grow eating this no one say yuck to stuff for me are yum this is delicious for me.
Excuse my poor English.
why not just eat the leg instead : P
@@krono5elpeople eat it because it’s high in collagen and basically just learned to make it tasty like any other part of the chicken
@@krono5el also when people are trying to make the most of what their money can buy, it means eating the parts of animals one may consider “ exotic”. A lot of people are disgusted or judge people who eat “exotic” living things but it is precisely because they had no choice but to turn to it in order to survive, it only became a delicacy when it became popular & hard to obtain. Though chicken feet was eaten for collagen, many have enjoyed the taste & texture ( there are boneless ones too) over time.😊
The lady in red is the only one that is open minded and shows she has a wide palate. The other two ladies go in already decided they don't like pretty much everything. And one of them doesn't even try something. Kinda defeats the purpose of the video ya think?
I tend to agree with Xochitl a lot with regards to authentic Mexican food and the exaggerated sweeteness of many desserts and candy, but her reaction to the chicken feet really pissed me off.
It's so weird how we're freaked out by feet, when we'll HAPPILY eat a wing, which is like...almost the exact same thing.
I think it's because the chicken wing has more meat. But honestly I'm open to eating anything, as long as it's seasoned good
Xochitl's song about the Panda brought some memories to me ❤my momma used to sing us that song, which I think is a song they wrote for Tohui, the first panda born in Mexico.
put the sichuan tofu over rice... add a little soy.. addicting!!
😮 sounds tasty!!
Mama Lulu is my favorite 😂😂😂
Mapo really does need a side of rice. Sechuan pepper is my favorite kind of spicy.
The lady with the red scarf is a true foodie!
Peking duck, sweet and sour pork and hot pot are SO AMAZING 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Title says Authentic Chinese food
Proceeds to bring out kung pao chicken with a broccoli and not enough sauce, you know, the American Chinese food version
May god have mercy on all our souls.
Not sure what you mean. Kung Pao chicken is authentic. I've had it many times in China.
@@iNeverSimp Kung Pao chicken is authentic Chinese food, sure, but the one they had is not.
😂😂😂😂the chicken feet. I think i would have the same reaction. To each their own.
Lulu and Alma actually respect the culture enough to try the food and be honest I enjoy them
The chicken feet! 😂😂 lulu
Lulu is adorable af
she got me rolling over the chicken feet girl I am the same way barf
Xochitl is so precious protect her at all costs ☹️🫶
Lol she never likes anything 😂
@@MrVirucha007 nothing wrong with it people have different tastes
From the looks of Xiaolongbao, this is the food court grade.... and the rest of the dishes I assume bought from the same food court.....
LOL nice, finally seeing Chinese foods on this channel, you've done a great job! Though I was expecting more staple foods such as Yangzhou fried rice, different types of noodles and rice vermicelli (Lanzhou beef noodles, Zhajiangmian fried soybean paste noodles, and Luosifen sour vermicelli, to name a few), and Cheongfan rice rolls.
I wish they paired the dishes with some rice though, many Chinese dishes are made & seasoned to be eaten with rice. They didn’t do enough research 😅
100% Chinese cousine is so diverse since the country's so big. I'm know there are so many other meat dishes they would love. Lanzhou beef noodles is crazy good and something you won't find in other countries.
Omg luosifen is a must
They not gonna serve some white rice with that mapo tofu? Wtf
I feel xochi on the feet 😭😭I will NEVER eat chicken feet😭😭
Xochitl is me. Get them chicken feet away now 😂😂😂
Seriously you choose those dishes? There are a lot of delicious chinese dishes to try if you are a 1st timer. I’m a filipino but I love chinese food. You must research best chinese food before introducing it to your countrymen. I love noodle soups, fried rice, stir fry noodles, spring rolls, siopao, steamed fish and chinese dimsums are the best.
Only have respect for Alma, the red scarf lady. Her opinions are balanced and open to experience. The rest, I found it over dramatic and almost insulting.
I like that she credits her mother with teaching her not to waste food when they were poor growing up, and that leads to her being more open minded today. Beautiful
Nah I’d have similar reactions. It’s not on purpose but not every cuisine is for everyone, they gave it a chance as best they could and that’s all you can really do.
@@pinkroses9320 then you are racist, as simple as that. I don't have those kind of exagerated reactions, I usually just say is not for me: turtles, iguana, guinea pig, monkey, bull testicles, blood in intestines, all that and more is eaten in several countries in Latin America. It is not common but we don't make a big fuzz about it but chicken feet is such a big issue when they literally eat pig feet without problem. Don't confuse personal taste with reactions rooted in racism.
i want Lulu to be my mama or auntie so FREAKING BAD. ughh i love her sm.
Lulu is hilarious 😂
Just as people vs food has Sharon, Mamah has Lulu lol ❤ love this series!
Mexican moms try Cambodian food next pls
Omg yesss I have been asking for ages 😭
They need to try our cuisines
@thatgirl9532 I'm mexican but what Cambodian food would u recommend?
@@Mythmx oh really..How do you know about Cambodian food then? 😅
The dishes they gotta try (which is so many) but for me:
Definitely prahok🤣🤣🤣
Nom Banh Chok
Samlar Machu
Twa ko with rice
And for desserts :
Num Chak Kachan
Nom Korng
Nom Lort (one of my favourites)
Banh Ja’Neuk (my favourite other)
The best ladies ever❤😂😊. A sophisticated palette ALWAYS 🎉🎉🎉🎉 so from Ontario Canada
Authentic Peking duck is actually with thin flour wrap instead of this fluffy Bao. They are very much like a thinner taco size tortilla.
Love lulu and Xotchyl they are very honest.
I'm also accustomed to chicken feet in soup from my abuelita's cooking. I'm surprised most hadn't tried it.
Not sure why she threw away half the broccoli after taking a bite.
Stem is too thick and fibrous
lol,, its good but proceeds to throw it away.. " i liked the veggies"...
I love mapo tofu with some white rice 🤤. Lulus reaction to the chicken feet made me laugh but I love chicken feet at dim sum and xiao long bao everyday of the week is another staple at my house 🤤. Peking duck is something we order all the time at a Chinese restaurant when it’s someone’s birthday
Not lulu screaming at at foot 😂😂 4:14
I knew a Mexican guy who worked at a well known Chinese restaurant. One of their best dishes was Hunan pork stir-fry in a spicy savory black bean sauce. That place closed down and years later I found him operating a taco truck. We both reminisced how great that dish was. I suggested he recreate it and put it in a burrito. He thought it was a pretty good idea but I don’t know if traditionalist would go for it.
Tomato and egg would be a classic home cooked dish in Chinese cuisine
Kung Pao chicken ALSO needs steam rice! OMG! As a Chinese, this is sacrilegious.
The lady with the red scarf is the only real Mexicana in this video
Xochitl is adorable.
I like Chinese (american) food and have tried most of the americanized versions of these. I like mapo tofu, Peking duck, kung pao chicken, salt and pepper squid, and egg drop soup a lot.
Americanized Chinese food is for Americans who can’t appreciate Chinese cuisines. I hope people would be able to explore the Chinese culinary culture and have the opportunities to try the authentic Chinese food. Kudos to Anthony Bourdain for documenting all that in his food documentaries “parts unknown” and “no reservation”.
🤣🤣🤣 Xochitl!!! My favorite!
Great video! Just love the totally different reactions. Made my evening a good one!! And I love duck--used to have it for Christmas until it starting to cost about $9.00 a pound!
Thank you for watching!! ❤️
The lady in the scarf is the only one I'm trusting opinions from.
This show makes me miss my mom a bit more today.
Xochil is so funny lmao
As native chinese, I have no idea what the fk egg flour soup is.
This is os the firt time i here mexican complaining about other peoples food being spicy. Lol
LOVE this channel and mamahs🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Chicken wings also have a bone unless they are boneless 😂. They also make boneless chicken feet. I would love to try some day!
Alma is elegant. Lulu is hilarious.
Please, for the love of everything, let these lovely mums eat off of real plates with proper silverware and not out of those plastic thingies.
They deserve the best!
How do you expect a chicken to walk if it has no bones in its feet?
Se mamo😭 “it’s SpongeBob’s homie”
Alma is so cute, she looks like someone with a nice and warm personality!
Mapo Tofu would never be eaten alone like that though. It's meant to be with rice... and the amount of Sicuan pepper would vary by province in China, with most using it VERY sparingly
Imo i think the most common dishes eaten by chinese ppl are really beef noodles (some regional variants like 兰州牛肉面) or tomato and fried eggs (西红柿超级但) 😊
That’s correct. I’m saying this as a person of Chinese descent. This is a video that I specifically requested
The eggs are usually scrambled, not fried but you’re on the right track.
Do you mean 西红柿炒蛋？
lulu esta obsesionada con el chicharron jjajaj amo
I spent 4 years living in china and I'm on my 3rd year living in Mexico so I'm pretty excited to see this
That one Mom had me rolling with the chicken feet
lulu is the real mvp 😂
Mapotofu is one of the most popular Chinese dishes in Japan. If it doesn’t taste good, so many Japanese would not have liked it.
Why freaking out over a bone? Do other cuts of meat not have bones these days?
I have a new favorite mamah, Alma! love her !
Some of the Mexican mamas are more Americanized than others as chicken feet is eaten in Mexico and a lot of Latin America. Also there are fried squid dishes almost identical from the Pacific coast of Mexico.
"It's pleasent but don't go overboard with the spicy numbing" ~A Mexican Abuela
You’re wearing it! ❤😂
Xochilt is the reason i watch any of these videos
“SpongeBob homie”… 😅😂, oh Lucy 💕
god i love Lulu
Gano mi tocaya! Woo hoo a Xochitl!
This is not authentic Chinese also why didn't you give these mommies rice?? No one eats mapotofu with no rice.
peking duck is not eating with a bun, that is a western way, it is eaten with a pancake
took me so long to find this comment! it doesn't even look like peking duck, it looks like cantonese roast duck
5:11 Just a small error: it's actually egg flower soup, not flour.
I died at Kunpao-or gongbao chicken. As a sichuan cuisine home cook from shandong province I would never admit that this is a "kunpao chicken"
I like how this channel provides authentic versions of dishes, not like other channels e.g. saying the US style of kung pao chicken or California rolls (Japanese) are authentic dishes.
