OMG. Mark is in China!! I hope you enjoy all the delicious food China has to offer. The food secene is quite different from the Chinese food you experienced in other countries.
20 years ago I lived and travelled around China. I will always remember Xi'an. The people are the friendliest I met in all of China. The food is delicious too with all the dry spices and grilled fish.
Agreed completely! China is one of those places where foodies will have endless content. Everywhere in the world, there is good food, but in China in particular and certain other places (Italy, Mexico, Haiti, India, Iran, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, etc.) the food content is absolutely endless, no matter how many food lovers show up. There's absolutely more than enough for everyone.
I love how engaging Mark was in very scene. I mean, you don't have to like every item you encounter along the way. But it's your love for life make you enthusiastic, true and convincing. Mark did a wonderful job in bringing his viewers into his video. It feels like we are there too!
We were in this Ittle South Market 3 times in September. The rolled tofu bean curd at minute 3.38 is simply amazing, oroginal or spicy flavour. We loved them so much we even bought some to take back to our home country. And the smoked sausages were great. The pork knuckles buns were tasty but the best is 3 shops away, the minced beef and spring onions panfried bun. At 6.30am, the queue was already 15 people; by 7am, more than 30 people.
What an EPIC start to your China series! The food looked so incredibly fresh and delicious... those hand pulled noods 🤤Can't wait to watch all the China videos!
As a local of Xi'an, I warmly welcome you to come here. This is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, with a history as long as Chinese civilization. Here, you can have the most unique experience of modernity and tradition. 🥰
@@STaTic8137 People who care about politics are often the most biased, don't you? 🤔 Sun Tzu said, "Know yourself and know your enemy. A hundred battles will never fail." If you see China as an enemy, then you should understand it even more, shouldn't you？🤔
So glad to see Mark in China mainland. And WHY am I watching this as a Chinese, OMG. I always enjoyed the passion and energy in your video, so much joy. And enjoy your trip!
Be careful! Do you know why Xi'an local like to take a nap after lunch? Because Xi'an is known as the capital of Chinese noodle, you are likely get Postprandial Somnolence because of too much carbohydrate. 😂😂😂
This is why Mark is the king of travel eating, that man gave the century egg an “oh wow” with a smile on his face. He politely told the camera the ammonia flavor was coming through his nose while eating half the egg in one bite. Only Mark will give us this down to earth experience in HD. They could never make me hate you Mark. You are a man of the content and the people. Keep on eating on sir! Long time fan!
Amazing Mark! Liked to see you back to China for an adventurous street food. Not only food China very advance country almost everything is ahead of us.
Mark, I want to thank you and your Misses for feeding my spirit for almost an entire year. Somehow, watching your videos satiated me when i could not physically feed myself. I've since made a full recovery from what ailed me and was able to regain my weight! Much ❤
Tender chopped pork leg in bread with a little broth & smokey chili oil, what a great sandwich, & a creative dish of small pieces of pita bread added to a wok with lamb broth, fine noodles, lamb slices, with over 20 spices, so much delicious hearty food.
The history of Xi'an is indeed ancient. Xi'an is the capital city of Shaanxi Province, and even many pronunciations in Japanese can be traced back to the Shaanxi dialect. Because Xi'an was once the capital of ancient China, Japan developed its own culture from studying ancient China, which should have been a thousand years ago.
Yes, you are right, the dialects of southern China have indeed had more influence on modern Japanese, but the influence of Shaanxi dialect may have been earlier. For example, the tone word "です" in Japanese sounds similar to the repeated confirmation of "得私（dei si）" in Shaanxi dialect, as well as the affirmative expressions "そうです" and "说得私（she dei si）". There are also meaning problem "問題" and "麻达（ma da）", meaning sweep away "掃除" and "sao ji". Linguistics is complex, and I don't want to express that Japanese have learned from modern Shaanxi dialects, which have completely different from ancient times. However, it is interesting that we can glimpse ancient cultural exchanges from modern languages.🤔
"Ramen is not hand-pulled", yes, but you can find that the pronunciation is very interesting, hand-pulled noodle in Chinese pronounce as "拉面（la mian）", you can use translation software to listen to their pronunciation.
I think if I was to spend any significant time in Xi'an I'd come away with the physique of Kung Fu Panda..😂 All the dishes looked wonderfully rich and tasty, particularly the beef noodles..👍
@lenoraneeley7010 I was in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, and every place in between. I've never had authentic Chinese food like that before even though my friend from Hong Kong visited my house in North Carolina to cook a fantastic meal forme and my family... and he didn't charge me! He even paid for the food! (However, I've eaten way over 10,000 meals in Chinese restaurants all over the world in the 26 countries I've been to. Very few times, outside of China, are they authentic meals. Ive eaten all major and someminor cuisines, notbing excluded.) I ate at two dozen restaurants total with my friends in China, and in return I cooked a HUGE Sicilian LOADED spaghetti dinner (many types of meat and veggies in the spaghetti, and homemade tomato and herb sauce), with salad and garlic toast. I fed 30 people. They were amazed at the Italian food. But I assured them I was much more amazed at the delicious Chinese food!
@@howardcheung5809 I've had all 8 and probably 20 or more minor sub-cuisines over a 50-year span of time in 26 countries, including China. Probably I have eaten more than 10,000 Chinese meals in the 26 countries I've visited. I've even learned to cook some Chinese food after my friend from Hog Kong cooked for us in 1989, 35 years ago! I am looking forward to my return visit to Japan, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Mongolia, and South Korea. And I want to visit Malaysia and Singapore again. And Thailand, the Philippines. and Indonesia. And India, Nepal, Burma, Vietnam and Cambodia while I'm at it! It will take me a full year to do all this visiting.
Traveling for food, seeing the world, experiencing new cultures is about as joyful of a life as it gets for most people. Mark is such a positive person, he totally deserves it! Btw, China is amazing!
China is a super huge and culturally rich country, with different regions having their own delicious foods. I look forward to you exploring more types of cuisine in more regions of China.
I want that sticky rice right now!!! Cheers from Berlin Germany! (just had Greek yogurt with banana and a rice waffle with organic peanut butter while watching ) and you?
We have some authentic chinese restaurant in our town. They serve Xi'an pork burger (肉夹馍), 凉皮, 刀削面. In Japan, authentic Xi'an cuisine is not so popular, but we like their original tasete. Thank you so much for showing us many Xi'an cuisine and Chinese friends.
Mark is not just a blogger, but also a writer, he creates those appropriate feedback simultaneously when eating. That's kind of a skill as well as a talent.
One can feel the passion with which he talks about the food,understands the culture and then eats every dish... Very rare to find such vloggers , undoubtedly 🥰

Xian is the city Chinese tourists visit to feel like you're back in the 1990s or as a stop before you visit the Terracotta warriors (Qin Shi Huangs tomb). Not a bad choice just curious why that would be the 1st stop and hoping it's not the last. Typically Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, even Chengdu now would be 1st. For a foodie who loves spicy food Chengdu would have made more sense.
Sure, sweetheart, enjoy your meat with uilimited beta-adrenergic agonist. By the way, I am just curious if you also have that cute purple face after doing exercise, just like your athletes after completing in the Olympic games😂 @@edwinchenoweth4251
Wow the market was awesome, so many people and so much fresh food and cooked foods to eat. China looks like a great country to visit and learn about the food and culture. Any chance that Samoa might be on the list of a future visit Mark?
Mark, you are amazing when I am watching you eating hot peppers or any kind of spicy foods. You are truly help people in the world who watching you travel and eat foods and made a comment and explaining all are fantastic knowledge that made me hungry too. I’m old but never think that to stopped learning from you and thank you very much. Have a wonder life you, your wife and all Family back in Thailand.
Mark I love it riding on the bikes, the market is awesome, vibrant. That pork burger fall apart deliciousness and the fried vegetable pocket crispy goodness. The soups very interesting the texture but looked delish as well as the hot pepper soup and beef soup👌wow those dumplings yum yum and the gungun noodles. I am so hungry now😂Michael was very knowlegeable and so pleasant, it is great how the different cultures blend and become such great flavorful dishes.
My hometown!!! Everything looks so familiar oh god I miss all the good food! There are so many so many good food in Xi’an ❤ thank you Mark for making this video!
I totally agree to the previous commentator. Couldn't have said in a better way. Must be barking mad to watch this fantastic video (i.m.h.o. one of the best I've seen so far, and I'm collecting them all 😄) having just returned from the dentist's, not yet able to eat right now. That's advanced masochism. Been to a street market in the Chinese part of Kuching/Borneo once, many years ago, but the atmosphere there might have resembled this cool place you are showing us here. One of the most cherished memories of my journeys in my youth. Thanks for bringing it to my mind, and best regards as well as fond greetings from a German follower like that: 👵 You are doing a wonderful job.
I've been to Xi'an twice, and my favorite thing I have had there was the lamb soup (Yangrou Paomo), where you break apart the bread and then pour the soup on top. With plenty of chili oil and beer of course. Although the "pork burger" looked freakin' awesome. My wife makes the exact same meat which I usually scoop up with tortilla chips or wrap in a tortilla.
I'm born and raised in Xi'an. Really happy to see that your guide took you to the best places. We Xi'aners like to see that visitors enjoy food from places that locals eat, not just overhyped touristy spots. Well done!
I was in Xi'an almost 10 years ago. When I tried yangrou paomo, it reminded me of a "same but different" version of açorda d'alho, a dish from Alentejo in Portugal. We use stale bread, olive oil, loads of mashed garlic, herbs, and usually boiled codfish and egg instead of the meat and noodles.
Very wise to choose Xi'an as the 1st stop in China. Xi'an is the ancient capitals of those most prosperous dynasties in China's history , Qin and Tang for example. Especially during Tang dynasty, people from other parts of the world travelled to Xi'an to trade goods via silk road, which resulted in some very unique food cultures (Chinese Muslim dishes) you can't find anywhere else in China. The city is my hometown and in my personal experience, has the best food in China! Many major cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are pretty much modernized in a western way with few historical context preserved. Xi'an, though being modernized in the same way, still has the best preserved city grid and fortification walls in China.The city has the vibe of old and new eras colliding in a dramatic way. Amazing place to visit!

Japanese ramen comes from Xi'an. Those are the original ramen noodles that were made by Chinese immigrants in Japan back in the early 1900's.

Mark I love it riding on the bikes, the market is awesome, vibrant. That pork burger fall apart deliciousness and the fried vegetable pocket crispy goodness. The soups very interesting the texture but looked delish as well as the hot pepper soup and beef soup👌wow those dumplings yum yum and the gungun noodles. I am so hungry now😂Michael was very knowlegeable and so pleasant, it is great how the different cultures blend and become such great flavorful dishes.

Hi BOSS

@@jamis7516 hello mate

I totally agree to the previous commentator. Couldn't have said in a better way.
Must be barking mad to watch this fantastic video (i.m.h.o. one of the best I've seen so far, and I'm collecting them all 😄) having just returned from the dentist's, not yet able to eat right now. That's advanced masochism.
Been to a street market in the Chinese part of Kuching/Borneo once, many years ago, but the atmosphere there might have resembled this cool place you are showing us here. One of the most cherished memories of my journeys in my youth. Thanks for bringing it to my mind, and best regards as well as fond greetings from a German follower like that: 👵
You are doing a wonderful job.
I've been to Xi'an twice, and my favorite thing I have had there was the lamb soup (Yangrou Paomo), where you break apart the bread and then pour the soup on top. With plenty of chili oil and beer of course. Although the "pork burger" looked freakin' awesome. My wife makes the exact same meat which I usually scoop up with tortilla chips or wrap in a tortilla.
So glad you finally made it to Xi'an! Looking forward to more China videos, Mark!
Thanks Mark and Ying. That was a full day of street food enjoyment
Yay! You finally made it to China. Xian is a great city especially for first time Muslim travellers. Abundance of halal chinese food to savour.
Love THE RAW GARLIC WITH THAT AWESOME NOODLE SOUP.!!!😍😍😍💯💯💯😍💯
Hey Mark, you description of the foods were Fantastic.
Congratulations mark for the videos you always produce for us, we welcome you to Kenya boss
Thank you, I hope to visit Kenya again soon!
I absolutely enjoy this episode. Thanks Mark!
Thank you Mark for showing us Chinese delicacies.
I'm born and raised in Xi'an. Really happy to see that your guide took you to the best places. We Xi'aners like to see that visitors enjoy food from places that locals eat, not just overhyped touristy spots. Well done!
Thoroughly enjoyed this long video Mark. Every dish is so unique and looks so delicious. Your narration makes me feel like I am actually eating.
Thank you very much!
This is my hometown! So happy you enjoyed the foods and culture here ❤
You and JOHN are both amazing!
I was in Xi'an almost 10 years ago. When I tried yangrou paomo, it reminded me of a "same but different" version of açorda d'alho, a dish from Alentejo in Portugal. We use stale bread, olive oil, loads of mashed garlic, herbs, and usually boiled codfish and egg instead of the meat and noodles.
Very wise to choose Xi'an as the 1st stop in China. Xi'an is the ancient capitals of those most prosperous dynasties in China's history , Qin and Tang for example. Especially during Tang dynasty, people from other parts of the world travelled to Xi'an to trade goods via silk road, which resulted in some very unique food cultures (Chinese Muslim dishes) you can't find anywhere else in China. The city is my hometown and in my personal experience, has the best food in China! Many major cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are pretty much modernized in a western way with few historical context preserved. Xi'an, though being modernized in the same way, still has the best preserved city grid and fortification walls in China.The city has the vibe of old and new eras colliding in a dramatic way. Amazing place to visit!
🤣西安历史文化悠久，但是是个美食荒漠
Mark sounds like a sports commentor, for a good health sport. Thanks for sharing parts of the world. Peace.
Who else missed Mark’s food tour in China? Absolutely love this!
I love all things spicy so Xi'an would be a perfect place to food tour! ❤ Thanks Mark for being a awesome food vlogger.
Love to see you visiting your homeland and your culture
Wait, is Mark even Chinese? I thought he's Thai American.
@@puga4202 His homeland is actually Hawaii. His mother is Chinese but was born in Hawaii and his father is white. Ying is Thai and they live in Thailand
@@shellzfrombrooklyn718his mother was born and raised in Hawaii
