@@ForAllLifesAdventures Yes, that's why many countries in NA and EU are importing gutter oil from Mainland China, and that's why talking about using gutter oil to cook in China now is nonsense, it is way more profiting from selling those offshore than using those to cook.
Our processed foods is relatively affordable, our Whole foods is very expensive. We promote processed foods simply because there's more profit from it. Once again, it's all about the Benjamins.
I love Sashimi, if you had told me years ago I would be eating raw, fresh fish in Beijing - I would have said, now way. I only ever aite fried fish as per the UK delicacy... lol
Odd that he could even come up with such a topic. I had no problem eating in china, only thing I'm super afraid of is the sichua' chilly pepper sauce which was much too 'numbing to eat or taste
I thought you'd be debating and debunking the gutter oil issue (which does not necessarily appear to be complete fabrication - even though it has been obviously blown out of proportion and hijacked by the usual China haters) and provide some fine examples of the variety and health benefits of home-grown Chinese food. But instead, we are seeing our good friend Iain salivating over yummy (but JAPANESE) sashimi. (Which, BTW, I also like - but you could have as well shown us Iain salivating over KFC which is the most popular fast food restaurant in China. 😉)
Yeah, fair comment. But it is hard to find any gutter oil examples… mmmm - the KFC has a wide menu in China and it is different from what you see in the west. But, you are correct, it is very popular in China. The ice cream is the same tho, and the machines work… or is that McD’s?
@@ForAllLifesAdventures It's the McD's ice cream machines that usually don't work because McD's has stitched up the franchises to some pretty unhealthy exclusive maintenance agreements. Yes, KFC is actually better in China. It sucks here in Melbourne - I look forward to have some in Beijing when I am there next time. And hey, why don't you tell us something about the famous Beijing yoghurt? Or haven't you discovered it yet? I am missing it terribly; there is simply nothing like it. It deserves a video of its own!
@@ForAllLifesAdventures There is only one "Beijing yogurt". It's a probiotic drink - tastes a bit like kefir but not quite. It's ubiquitous in Beijing and comes in little white (returnable) ceramic jars with blue tops. You drink it with a straw. Have one for me today, please. It's healthy and yummy! 🙂
Yes. Lots of negative propaganda about food production in China all the time, so much so I’m very wary of buying anything edible imported from China. Only recently I ventured into getting some dried noodles.☺️. Thanks Iain for your convincing footage.🙏👍👍🫡
From what I see in China, food production and preparation is well monitored - if you put into context how much central food is to life in Chine, if a place serves bad food or using dodgy ingredients, they would not last past a week. People wouldn’t go there!!
Fun fact: Gutter oil now in Mainland China are mostly collected to be exported to the US, more than 2 million tons a year.
😂😂😂👍
lol, for their cooking?
@@ForAllLifesAdventures Bio chemical/bio-fuels, don't know if any leak to cooking.
@@cheungchingtong I seen a program on how they are turning it to Fuel - very cool

From Wikipedia‘s list of countries by life expectancy, China is 78.21, and USA is 76.33. American people lives shorter life than Chinese people😅
It is amazing that... who would have thought it. America has declined!!!... declined!
USA Death by sugar, assisted by overpriced health care.
Gutter oil happened in china's province of Taiwan. Google it. People involved got fined.
I would imagine they got more than a fine...
Jealous you can eat so many delicious and affordable food in China!
I love my food... love it!
Gutter oil?...How stupid some people can be?
They can be stupid... very stupid, indeed. lol
£15 for that meal and two beers, a bargain! Here in UK(outside London) will buy you a plate of fish and chips!😒
Yeah, such great value - two beers were large bottles too.
1.5 bilion people in China proves food is very good 😂
that is very true.. lol
15 for all of that deliciousness... It'd probably be 30 here in the states
Yeah, and the two beers. seriously good value.

it is always about the Benjamins!!
Nice restaurant and the food looks amazing. I love fresh Sashimi.

It was other people who asked me about the food and gutter oil…. I am with you, great food in china!
It looks like the shopping mall next to the FFC tower

Food looks delicious 😂😂
it was so good.... I love this place to eat at.

@ yeah, I know the one. I like it served cold!!
You are enjoying the sashimi way too much. Very happy to see.
I have taken to the WASABI... and now getting into tasting different ones - next year I am going to explore more of that.
Why sashimi still available? Japanese had dumped nuclear waste water into the ocean, are those sashimi back log before they dump the waste water?
China have salmon fish farm as well as kind of seafood farm.
Japanese restaurant serving local produces, not imported.
Yeah, it was local fish... China has a large seafood industry.
