Remember if you'd like subtitles feel free to turn on CC! The english subtitles have been manually added (choose 'English' not 'auto generated') so they are perfect, and if you'd like to practice your Chinese feel free to add Chinese subtitles!
The tree you saw is called, Chinese Banyan Tree. It matures and grows quickly, then sends its roots out from any of its multiple branches let them hang straight downward until the root system touches the soil and the roots continue going further down and hardens into what seems like another part of the tree.
CONGRATS ON COLLABING WITH THE MICHELIN GUIDE! You deserve it, your videos are so informative and fun, and you've been working hard at making them for so long.
The weirdest thing about Michelin ratings is that is the freaking tire company. I learned this really late.. that it was about recommending restaurants worth the drive to them. Its so weird that this became like the most revered system.
it's kinda genius actually! the more you drive, the more you'd use your tires right, so that's what they originally hoped to achieve by recommending restaurants worth making a journey to.
I thought I read somewhere that the Michelin guide was initially created in cities where there were formula 1 races. Since they supply tires to so many of the formula 1 race cars, they decided to make a food guide so that people involved in formula 1 could know from their guide where to find the highest quality food, and they have since branched off to other cities that dont offer F1 races.
OMG! Sign me up for Blondie’s Michelin food adventure!! I want to try it all. And of course I hover with my chop sticks poised, as the food is so delicious, but nice to know Derk does it too
Congratulations! I can’t imagine Michelin asking a more outgoing & respectful & lovely food vlogger who’s willing to try almost anything! Everything looked amazing, but I’m most curious about that oyster pancake!
Thanks so much, Amy. This is perfect timing for us, as we're heading to Quanzhou very soon...my husband's ancestral home. It'll be our first time visiting there.
Good afternoon to you, Blondie. Singapore 🇸🇬 also has this similar dish called, OYSTER OMELETTE. I suppose this dish originated from China 🇨🇳, the the Singaporeans 🇸🇬 ‘tweaked’ it into their own culture hawker Center favourite food 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋😋😋👍👍👍👍👍
Wow what an amazing video! So excited for you Amy really deserved and thank you for the warning at the beginning (even though I leave every video hungry) 😅
Many chefs are lazy and less patience to cook things proper outside of China. They want it fast to rank up money, so they just throw stuff in boiling oil because it cooks faster. They don't pay attention to detail to chop/cut things properly, so you get stuff like bbq pork chop into the size of bones. An experienced chef would cut those in slices which is the traditional common practice in China.
Michelin guide is frankly hit n miss. I've had some of the Michelin recommends in Singapore...matter of taste. Frankly I don't think Asian countries need a European guide to tell them what's good or be an arbitrator of "quality" Hopefully a local Chinese guide will come to prominence. Maybe Huawei should start one.
Michelin guide is not just for telling locals where to eat. It's a guide for everyone, local or not. Kind of like a traveling guide. For the restaurants, it's good for business. Just because it has an European name, you sure it wasn't some local Chinese tasters who were doing the tasting, the judging?? You're saying foreigners can't tell good Chinese food from bad? I wonder why then you are watching this channel, watching and listening to a woman from Australia going around tasting Chinese food.
Taste is very subjective! Not everyone has the same taste in food, flavors, textures, etc. FYI, the black beans are not black beans, they are fermented black color soybeans.
@@Pokingthebear999 You have the same mind set as most American's / mindless sheeps, just like Mr. Trump: If you are not with me / us, you are against me / us!
Not necessary. Those should be fermented black bean. The same fermentation can be done to soybean and the chinese product name is the same. However it is fermented black bean traditionally. In southern china where fermented black bean is a famous product, famous brands don't use soybean.
General concensus determined what is good or bad. All the businesses are now based on reviews and ratings. So, one person with weird taste buds is irrelevant. "You shouldn't be hungry anyway. Bc you're full of it💩."

Reminds me of the song 榕树下 by 余天……

Well when you’re French.. it’s easy to get people to believe that you should be the authority in anything and everything

No wonder! I always thought they had the same name, never realised the connection 😂
Congratulations Amy!!
Your Chinese food RUclips content is definitely worth the recognition it should be getting..

Those trees look like banyan trees! They have an aerial root system so they grow from the branches down into the ground looking for water.
I'm drooling
I'm so envious of her profession
Zhenzhen herself! I love it 😂 also funny that she woke up one day and just got a star!
Thanks so much, Amy. This is perfect timing for us, as we're heading to Quanzhou very soon...my husband's ancestral home. It'll be our first time visiting there.
I am so happy for you, Amy. You deserve to have all your dreams come true
The Michelin Guide should thank you for being authentic because you know who you're talking to and you're always open to tastes
I am from Quanzhou but work in Shenzhen. Sometimes during holidays, I go back to Quanzhou for a few days to enjoy the local food.
It takes a 3 to 4-hour journey by high-speed train.
Quanzhou is definitely the most underrated city, it is full of rich culture and history, you'll need more time there to explore
Absolutely FASCINATING !!!! Well done ! I remember the oyster pancakes really well.... Need to learn how to make them.
Welcom to Fujian. You finally there.
That ginger braised duck looks amazing
All these food looks delicious. 🤤 Haven't had real good Chinese food for ages, this is making me miss it so much. 😭
That was a bloody delicious 20 mins. I feel like I’ve eaten along with you! Bring on next week 😂
Very cool, have fun!
Amy! You could make this video 2 hours long! I’m enjoying it all and have so many questions.
Good afternoon to you, Blondie. Singapore 🇸🇬 also has this similar dish called, OYSTER OMELETTE. I suppose this dish originated from China 🇨🇳, the the Singaporeans 🇸🇬 ‘tweaked’ it into their own culture hawker Center favourite food 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋😋😋👍👍👍👍👍
What a milestone, congrats Amy!
The clay pot duck looked amazing

Congratulations Amy, loved the look of the ginger duck
God this is amazing!!!!!! Can’t wait for u step into Beijing my hometown again!!🎉
Happy New Year! Amy & Derk. I hope you guys & your loved ones have a BANGER 2025 & beyond! Let's go and eat ourselves silly in 2025.
aaa I’ve been excited for this video ever since I saw your Instagram stories! Dream food tour added to the bucket list ✔️
Wow what an amazing video! So excited for you Amy really deserved and thank you for the warning at the beginning (even though I leave every video hungry) 😅
Congratulation on the opportunity! also happy for the selected restaurants:)
You reap what you sow.

That ginger duck had me salivating
Fantastic start to 2025...great first video Amy...many more successful videos adventures to come...keep up the awesome content ❤😊
This is so cool to hear you speak in chinese with them!
the warning was hilarious .. congrats on the colab
I'm so jealous, Amy eating all those affordable delicious foods. I like the ginger duck the most.
All looks so delicious. Wish I live in China.
3:32 OG Oyster Omelette ❤😁, somewhat surprised it looks less greasy than what’s available in Singapore / Indonesia /Thailand / Malaysia…

I hope this video reach a M sooner, support her just by sharing her videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Taiwan has a place called One Tree Makes a Forest 一樹成林with just this Banyan Tree.
I love to try oyster pancake. In Oz that will be hundreds of dollars as oyster is like $24 a dz from Woolworths.
I had the Taiwanese versions of the Fujian dishes you had, Amy. Good video, mate.
Almost half a million subscribers. Wow, quite an achievement!
Congratulations on the collaboration.
Love your show!
LOVE the 'WARNING'. ...
So jealous of your colab with the Michelin guide!
Do people ever say you have a specific provinces accent? I always hear people say of beijing accents and dongbei accents etc.
Congratulations! I love your videos.
Amazing. Congratulations. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
nice video! so much fun!
What a delicious food adventure to start off 2025. All the dishes look super tasty but I think the braised duck is my favourite! :D
How was your Holidays??
Happy New Year to you and all your family and friends..😍👍❤️🙏🏾
新年快乐！Happy New Year!
Great video!
Great job as always.
When will Amy drop my hometown Ningbo a visit?😮
so excited!
Cheers from Edmonton Alberta Canada.
17:22 oh no, the video is gonna be de-monetised again.
Have to say the Omelette looked like my kind of meal.
Sour plum duck is delicious
China should have a food guide of their own.
She's 61?! Wow.
Good video mate
Hello hello amy everything looks so yummy.
Chat gpt does not equal a realiable search engine.
Amy already looks young so after this soup she will look like a toddler
Well done ❤😊
Hey Amy, what did Derk say about you eating that...soup? 😄
Its working....you look younger already; back to 21 years old.
finally 4k video
The highlight is bullwhip soup
Very interesting
there was a Hongkong movie by Miriam Yeung about secret recipe for everlasting young
Name: dumplings
I thought that beef soup things is for men, now is good for women too? 😂
Wow看上去好好吃 😋
As long as no food tastes like rubber I am ok with Mitchelin food
LOL

Hopefully a local Chinese guide will come to prominence. Maybe Huawei should start one.
Black Pearl Restaurant Guide is already at it since 2018.

什么时候来安徽南部吃美食呀😊
Taste is very subjective! Not everyone has the same taste in food, flavors, textures, etc. FYI, the black beans are not black beans, they are fermented black color soybeans.
No, I don't think so. If everyone likes the dish but you. Then maybe it's something wrong with your taste buds.
@@Pokingthebear999 You have the same mind set as most American's / mindless sheeps, just like Mr. Trump: If you are not with me / us, you are against me / us!

Did you learn anything from the other food vloggers? A kind of shot you wanted to master or any best practices? 😊
Amazing video 😍
Do you need eye catching thumbnail??❤❤😊❤❤
Your friend Xibi kinda look like the pro wrestler/ MMA fighter ( with a Judo background) Sumie Sakai.
That is a proper oyster omelet, not an omelet drizzled with a few oysters.
Commenting for youtube algorithim. 😀😀

我是生活在厦门的泉州人，欢迎Amy来到我的城市
