Amy, you look so happy living and working in China, and your contents are always so interesting and high quality! Appreciate your fun, warm personality and constantly speaking Chinese and engaging with locals. Love your presentation and I'm sure a lot of hard work goes behind the scenes in research and planning. Keep up the good work and keep those videos coming!
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Magnus is like 霸道总裁's first time trying street food. SOoooooooooo funny. Can't believe he only went to the fancy western style restraunts for 4 years! It is like living in Melbourne for four years and only eat food from Chinatown ( not even go to Boxhill).
Magnus is just being a normal and borded swedish guy, trust me, cause I live in Sweden. Most of swedish guys only fan of grilled food or western fast food.
i can believe that Magnus been to shanghai for too many years , how can he not tried those amazing shanghai food, just shows if you are expat in the contry you really need some local friend to show you around
Amy you just made me “homesick” for shanghai again…but it looks like I may be returning very soon! Thanks for the tour of my favorite things, including the Edition rooftop, and all my favorite foods. Even looks like you had 羊肉串， which is also a big fave of mine. You present foods on video so well!
@@psychespades ...where exposure sites and sick people are 🤣🤣🤣 3 active cases in Chatswood now and 2 exposure sites. Not as bad as the west but pretty bad in the north shore area. What can you do. It's the centre of the universe, Chatswood.
Omg!! The 排骨年糕 shop you were in was the exact one we ate at in Shanghai when I visited a couple years ago! So good, we went first thing in the morning for brekkie 😀 cool to see it highlighted here
Years ago in the mid-1980s, I attended a summer session at East China Teachers College in Shanghai. They had foreigners-only Friendship stores then. Good place for silk rugs. The food then...mama. Cheers
@Rita 25 y.o - check my vidéó Thank you for your praise! In Chinese point of view, we want to build a paradise for the whole world! That is what Belt and Road Initiative for.
Really love watching your videos on food in Shanghai, makes me wanna go there. I have never tried stinky tofu while in Taiwan, but will give it a go next time when in Shanghai. So good to see an Aussie like you enjoying Shanghai. Hello from Sydney!!
Stage 4 LOCKDOWN in Sydney at the moment and you and your buddies have enjoyed all the delicious foods in China and walking around without wearing a mask, what a great escape and so envious. Take care and can't wait for the next video.
Thank you Amy for your excellents videos, I missing so much my hometown Shanghai and you helped me with these foods and images--- Hello from Switzerland
Actually the cooking process of Shengjianbao include the steaming part at first in the fry pan. When the water ran out, the oil inside will fry the bun. And so delicious!
Try the 豆腐花 (toufu soup?) for breakfast. It's also got 开洋 dried shrimp in it, along with 紫菜 (seaweed, a kind of), soy sauce and a whole bunch of other fragrant and umami things in it. I would die for a dip of 油条 fried dough in a cup of 豆腐花. This is one thing I miss from Shanghai living in Sydney. I just haven't found one single place in Sydney which does it right in terms of the authentic Shanghai style.
Do you mean 豆漿 ? I'm Cantonese though. We call it 咸豆漿 since (甜)豆漿 is the usual one further south like Hong Kong. On the other hand, we do have 豆腐花 which is like a jelly form instead of soup.
What I really love about eating in China is that you can actually order one portion and share it with your friends. Here in Korea, you've got to order the same amount of portions to the number of people dining. And the most annoying part is that most restaurants don't serve one person.
Hi, Blondie Thank for your reply. Actually, I am a Shanghainese of Australia (Aussie citizen), and live in Sydney now. My wife is a super-expert to food, because her gustatory sense is amazing. Can you - just use your tongue - tell the composition or recipe of chocolate? This is an easy job to my wife. By the way, let me tell you: the best Shanghainese food you can find is in Ashfield, Sydney. People call this place “Shanghai Town” or “Little Shanghai” where Shanghainese dialect has been already an "official language" in the most restaurants over there. Best regard Daniel Yang
He looked like his mind was blown when he told that first bite of the stinky tofu. He seemed like he was having a hard processing the conflicting information that his nose and his tongue is telling him. 😆
The NianGao is different with Malaysian Chinese NianGao, I think the southern China NianGao should be same with MY Chinese. MY Chinese also love XiaoLongPao, we usually will go restaurant Ding Tai Fung or Dragon-I to eat. The meat skewers in MY is call Satay or Sate in Indonesian and Malay spell.
the rice cakes are actually quite different among the different southern chinese provinces. i guess the ones in malaysia are closer to the fujian or guangdong styles.
Hahaha Peter replying here. I would love to do that 😂 I used to not know my country this well but after I’ve come back from abroad before COVID, I started to learn more about it and feel comfortable to become a local guide 😁
It's always wonderful to watch the way Blondie enjoying her food always so happy. The way she holds the chopsticks is far better than her Chinese friend. Her hairstyle is beautiful.
Ah You're back in Shanghai!!! idk if you're still here but the typhoon is bring some heavy rains down here, stay safe!....can't believe you're finally in my city here~~~~
Frozen Xiao Lun Bao in a pack of 2~3 dozen quantity is available in Wuxi shops for travelers who are XLB lovers. I am business traveler, live 2 thousand km far away from Wuxi, every time I bought this from a famous shop(forgot the shop name, its xlb is very delicious) before boarding on plane.
The flour of Shengjianbao from Dahuchun is fully fermented, and the one from XiaoYangShengJian is not. So the latter one has more soup and thinner crust.
@Go To Channel [𝐋!𝐯𝐞 S.A.X] It should be fermented tofu instead of stinky tofu. Fermented cheese also has a nasty smell. But some people consume fermented cheese on a daily basis.
Every time I go to Shanghai., I always drop by 85°c Cafe. one at Longyang Rd station (龙阳路). Where you transfer from the Maglev to #7 train to the city. The 85°c Cafe has this walnut bread that is very delicious. It also has some bean paste in it.
I'm Asian and have travelled a lot and find Aussies to be super friendly and open minded as well as curious about other cultures. It's also one of the most multicultural places in the world.
I miss Shanghai so much! it's also one of my favorite cities as well. Thanks for sharing this ❤️ BTW you look gorgeous and full of energy! love from Sydney
Fujian misses you! What happened to the plan of going along the coast all the way up to Changchun? I was under the impression that there are high speed train services running along the coast these days.
next time if you try the ribs in shanghai, please must add the 辣酱油 on it. Only available in shanghai and almost all of the local people will add it and then taste. Quite unique and you can find it in all of the snacks stores in shanghia just like the 排骨年糕 store in your video!!! Please remember that and you will also love the taste!
Here I am! After observing with great attention all of this your stuff, Blondie, I fancy I' d like too much葱油饼 too! 🌮 But, of course, I would like to taste anything else as well! ... (包括臭豆腐!) ☺️
Very envious Blondie can be back in China, I’m Chinese and hold a Chinese passport but my husband is from Denmark. I cannot move back to China without being separated from him at the moment...
A few months ago I took a piece of stinky toufu, the Hunan style, when I bit it, the juice sprayed to my hands and my sweater. I cleaned my hands only, but not the sweater. Later, in the subway I found myself smelt like shit.
大壶春 is kind of more traditional Shanghainese style compared with other popular one nationally like 小杨生煎，it is dry with nearly no broth and the thick skin.~anyway, Thank you Blondie, to let me refresh my Shanghai memory.
Everyone on the street was in shorts & t-shirt, while Magnus suited up in midsummer...for special occasion? lol Greetings form Melbourne, Down Under! :)
Loved this! Made me miss our own food adventures and miss you even more. Love you
Miss and love you too dad! ❤️❤️❤️
I miss you!
Can not wait for your whole family's new food adventures in China in the very near future.
@@BlondieinChina 朋友说岳父好！我说你再乱认亲戚小心Amy她爹来揍你！
Can you just message her through the wechat??
Oh my goodness! I miss Shanghai!
So funny that Magnus spoke about Mercado on the Bund as a favourite - we took you there on your 21st birthday 🥳!
I miss you Blondie mum
Magnus looks ready for his job interview
sir you made my day
跟sefpentza有一拼了
lmao
Amy’s enjoying her time and having all those delicious food in my hometown, while I’m stuck in this endless Sydney lockdown 😭想家了
加油！ Sending love to you in Sydney! Hope lockdown is over soon xx
@@BlondieinChina awww thank u Amy that’s lovely😭 hope everything gets better soon so that I can meet u and take u around in Shanghai!
诶…澳洲不是控制的蛮好嘛，悉尼怎么又lockdown了（摸摸你（安抚
Sydney is once again a penal colony!
@@lulalala_ 最近又闹起来了 封了好几周了 心态爆炸😩
I love Shanghai, literally best city in the world. We really envy you that you can stay in China now. China is paradise on earth. Love from Montreal.
Welcome you and your family to china and live here forever.

Yea but Shanghai now is a full fledged mega-city. It can cater to whatever kind of life you choose to have.
See this video,
You are almost a master of Chinese snacks !
And can introduce food to other foreigners.
I love this Amy, she is really energetic and attractive.
Everyone whom is positive and open minded is really attractive.

welcome to shanghai
The expensive noodles with sauce of crab roe and crab meta attracts me a lot, it looks yummy !!!
It was amazing. I'm just sad I didn't try it sooner!!!
I love Amy’s contagious voice and sweet smile 😊
Shanghainese stuck in Sydney watching this drooling and weeping at the same time 😭
'nough talking going for my lockdown walk now. 🤣🤣🤣
ahaha same! i probably should have watched the vid after a grocery restock 😭
One typo, mockdown, not lockdown.
Four more weeks
lockdown is making me appreciate the convenience of living close to places like Chatswood 😂😂😂😂
@@psychespades ...where exposure sites and sick people are 🤣🤣🤣
3 active cases in Chatswood now and 2 exposure sites. Not as bad as the west but pretty bad in the north shore area. What can you do. It's the centre of the universe, Chatswood.

Years ago in the mid-1980s, I attended a summer session at East China Teachers College in Shanghai. They had foreigners-only Friendship stores then. Good place for silk rugs. The food then...mama. Cheers
Now the college renamed as "East China Normal University". Shanghai is totally different from when you were been.
welcome to Shanghai again.

Another great show for local dishes, a typical Shanghai dish, simply, not complicated and made with deep passion, and long-lasting.
Watching from Malaysia and made me feel very hungry. Awesome foods.
Thanks Steven!
@@BlondieinChina Be careful, we Cantonese say Shanghainese food is fatty.
Watching from Malaysia too. Shanghai is beautiful and hope to visit one day. I have never been mainland China except for Hong Kong n Macau.
@@jasonl9484 欢迎你
I always think that Stincky tofu is the Chinese blue cheese... the soy version.
It is. Way less stinky and pungent compared to the blue cheese though
i think it's different.Honestly i can't taste any pleasant flavour from the blue cheese.but the sticky tofu is just smell bad.it tastes good actually.
it's fermented bean curd. bean is the cheapest source of protein and fiber.
Watching this makes me hungry. Would b fun to go to China one day! Thank you for the video! Watching from Canada.
Actually the cooking process of Shengjianbao include the steaming part at first in the fry pan. When the water ran out, the oil inside will fry the bun. And so delicious!

@@Loyee2000 You can say it's a jelly. But it's toufu jelly in soup. Savoury, umami soup.
Stinky tofu is love, stinky tofu is LIFE
Can we get a list of the places you went to? That's always the challenge of traveling: finding great places, where you know the quality is good.
I have been watching so many food recommendation videos per year. Amy style is one of those who makes me so hyper! 😋🥰🤩
What I really love about eating in China is that you can actually order one portion and share it with your friends. Here in Korea, you've got to order the same amount of portions to the number of people dining. And the most annoying part is that most restaurants don't serve one person.

Yes they are different. Shanghainese Nian Gao is small and shaped like a cigar, while Cantonese Nian Gao is large and shaped like a cake.
作为土生土长上海人！大壶春真的是最正宗原始的生煎包！还有排骨年糕，满满童年的记忆！还有葱油饼和切成pizza形状的枪饼，Im crying from the mouth!!!来澳3年2年没回去了，看了Amy在自己曾经每天都会经过的人广，云南路，简直想哭!!!!

Ain't it too warm for that gentleman to wear suit in June/July in Shanghai? I will absolutely melt.
You are the best RUclips vloger of Chinese content. I love every single one you make!

Thank you Amy for showing us all the delicious food. We love watching your videos. Miss your mom and Dad

so happy when i see your videos pop up on my timeline 💖
i love Blondies great positive energy
Loving the variety of these videos, from small villages to the big city.
@10:03, the crap sauce looks so good. But we don't have that in the SF Bay Area. At least I have never seen that before.

So great to see you back in Shanghai Blondie! I am moving to Shanghai myself next week; your videos are getting me hyped for the move!

Wow.. everything u eat look so yummy!
Love ur video! Happy to see u enjoy the life in China~
I love your show. Amy is great.
Wow. Street foods are my favorite. Can’t wait till the pandemic is over to visit China again…specially Xinjiang. 💕👍
Thanks. Missed Shanghai. My last visit in 2019
You are at 云南南路 already, you should go and try 佳家汤包 which is just there and they have THE best 小笼包
I love your Chinese food adventure videos! You are so spontaneous and your videos always reminded me about 广州,中国😭😭😭

Finally a vlog about shanghai food, I am here since 2019 due to lockdown
Very fortunate to have my partner's mum make shengjian bao and xianrou bing. Would love to visit SH sometime
As a two-year old fan, I preferred you to try this daily food XD Don't force yourself to try something you don't want haha
Here I am!
After observing with great attention all of this your stuff, Blondie, I fancy I' d like too much葱油饼 too! 🌮
But, of course, I would like to taste anything else as well! ...

You are GREAT GIRL...BRAVO
Time is fly. I did watch this 3 year ago.
Love from Nashville, Tennessee! This is awesome, Amy!
Your food adventures are so awesome
I think this gentleman is overdressed for this video 😂🔥
Magnus came straight from work :)
and taking their last stop at the rooftop into consideration, he is on the right dress
Dahuchun is the dry style (no soup version) of Shengjianbao
Show us some more of Magnus world! Dude is handsome, like Erik Lensherr!
Look at his face when you said ‘it’s fragrant’ lol so funny
😂😂😂

You need to try the duck blood soup Blondie, its a matching pairing for Shen Jian Mantou.
I'm missing China so much especially Shanghai, can't wait for the borders to reopen.
Another food adventure, that’s awesome 👏
I miss my hometown and its irresistible food. Hopefully, I can go back when the pandemic is over. P.S. I'm also from Sydney, just like you.
Kaiyang is one kind of dried shrimp, which is made of bigger sea shrimp compared to ordinary dried shrimp.
