Love eggplant. Embarrassing story once tried to order eggplant at a restaurant in China, used the wrong tone and tried to order a wife. #languagefail
BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Eggplant: qie2 zi0 茄子
Wifie: qi1 zi3妻子
I was told that I did something rather sinister with a colleague's name ( she is Xiaobi).. What i actually said is meant to be a female body part often referred to during impolite conversations. I haven't used that girl's Chinese name ever since then.
@@ravik007ggn lol that's embarrassingly rude
@@kk66 I agree. I have never seen a face turn 😱 any faster.. 😅😅
Erin is such a beautiful girl. How lovely she is.
Erin is happier than me. She's like sunshine and inspires me!
Maybe you want to educate yourself on the topic of unintentional ableism, just Google "inspiration porn".
@@AStarInSolitude chill,leave your political correctness to western world.
@@AStarInSolitude i am disabled. I know inspiration porn when I see it. This is not it.
@@AStarInSolitude holy crap. Only you would make it like a meme
@@AStarInSolitude Hi. I hasitated before posted that comment. And thank you for the information about inspiration porn. But I think just pretending disabled not disabled is also unfair. We don't say it not because we pretend it not to be, but because we accept it and respect it.
Look at her eyes. She is so adorable.
How beautiful to see my most favourite girls in all the world in this foodie adventure video ❤️❤️❤️. Wish I was there 🤤😋
There can only be one favourite 😈
Is this actually blondie’s mom??? Lmaoo
Erin is so impressive at about time 1:21.
We will see Erin on TV of 2021 Japan! Go Erin! 🏃🏼♀️🏃♀️
GO Erin!!!
Erin has a beautiful smile that truly warms the soul.
"I really like the eggplant cos that's the only thing I've tried so far!" Oh, my my my! Her smile melted my heart. Erin is so humorous and light-spirited. Couldn't be cuter! Love her.
Amy, I am impressed by Erin’s passion for things she is into, I hope she can star in ur future videos:)
i'm canadian, but if erin makes the paralympics, i'm cheering for her! she's awesome. thanks for bringing her along on your eggplant adventure, amy! :)
American here and 100%
Hi Erin! You have an amazing smile!
I love Erin’s positive personality. :)
She's also got a great sense of humour.
Erin is such a ray of sunshine! ☀️ Will look out for her in the paralympics
You have such a good heart Amy, it's why I love and support you so much. God bless Erin, she's absolutely a beautiful person.
i concur! and if you start a #supportErin2win fund, i'm in~! 😁👍💡💰💴💵💸🍆
Erin you are the best! - a message from your Chinese friend
I love Erin.She has an infectious smile.
Go Erin! I like your smile and confidence!
I think we usually don’t eat eggplant skin if there is 烤茄子(grilled eggplant).
Erin has such a million watt smile! Hope to see her in more videos! 😊
Everything about this video is perfect! You're such an inspiration, Erin ❤️ Can't wait to see you in the Olympics! 😊
Maybe you want to educate yourself on the topic of unintentional ableism. Just google "inspiration porn".
@@AStarInSolitude This woman is vying to represent her country in the Olympics. If she isn't an inspiration to us all, then I don't know what or who is.
@@AStarInSolitude Oh Not you again. You already commented same on someone else comment here
It’s awesome to have new guests in the video,especially Erin,she is so happy and sunny,her smiles are just melting my heart,keep up the great work!
erin's smile is so beautiful. her message at the beginning on the video was truly moving and inspirational, brought a tear to my eye. YOU GO GIRL!! Keep doing you and crush those goals!
I’m very touched to watch three of you having fun.
So touched by Erin's attitude, even though the unfairness life has brought to her, her smile just beautiful.
Thanks Amy. I feel more grateful for my "normal life" now, though I just complained yesterday about the covid. Erin is so inspiring and so are you!
I love Erin's blouse and glasses on Day 2 (Friday). I am inspired by her fashion!
I just want to say I really enjoy your videos, and as a Chinese learner I really appreciate the Chinese subs! You’re such an inspiration for me. I hope I will be able to travel or study in China and experience loads of Chinese culture like you one day :)
@Blondie in China, your sister had me at 06:03, "Could you leave the sauce?" My kind of person. 👍 🌙
Eggplant has such a distinctive flavor, and even if the initial impression is that of being dull, these Chinese recipes really make them soar. Love experiencing your food adventures through your friends and family.
Love seeing you guys enjoying Chinese food! Keep the great content coming!
So good to see Erin and your sister together in your video, my day is whole lot better xx
Love Erin. What a star. Hope to see her in more videos in the future. Also your videos make me miss the great food I ate in Australia. And restaurants generally since lockdown 3.0 stared here. Sigh.
How beautiful Erin’s smile! every time look at she, I will smile following her big smile 😀
I love this lady! She is lovely and awesome with her soft heart, God blessing!
Every westerner I know in my life loves Chinese eggplant dishes.
Nice video yall have a wonderful energy! Thanks for letting Erin have the spotlight to share her story... it’s an amazing surprise to have such an athlete and great person on the channel 💪🏽 🏆
Wow! What an amazingly inspirational interview with Erin. Thanks for sharing.
Some delicious dishes and love the addition of Erin!
Erin is very inspiring and so happy!!! Love her!!!
LOVE ERIN!! SHE IS THE BEST EVER!! She's so bright and so amazing!!
Erin is amazing. She a Million times smarter and adorable than the Aussie PM Morrison. 👍💖
No offense but please don’t make comments out of her disability
Why u mentioned that disgusting guy😪
Please be respectful and just enjoy the video about good food, we don't need politics in everything.
please move back to China and watch 新闻联播+人民日报 everyday and hate the rest of the world
@@kayzeesuns You know, the irony is that there really isn't much anti-West content in 新闻联播+人民日报, whereas blatant anti-China rhetoric is everywhere in Australian/American media.
So happy to see so many sweet sweet girls together!! : ) Thank you Amy so much for bringing so many smiles and sunshine to me!!
All the best Erin.. May you achieve everything u desire for.. I hope u win some medals for Australia 🇦🇺
Erin is great. She has a beautiful smile on her face. Love from China.
Erin's smile lights up my day!
Erin's smile is so authentic and lovely! Also love the fact that you let her do some of the introduction
Excellent video, Amy! Glad you brought Erin into your video.
The version from hong kong is typically served in a claypot and its not meant to be too saucy because the pot is so hot it is meant to evaporate some of the sauce when it goes in after cooking in the wok first. It creates a sort of caramelisation of the sauce. Also it is made with minced pork, salted fish, chinese bean sauce it is an umani packed dish usually quite salty best eaten with rice.
Ohhhhh ok! Hmm is 鱼香茄子煲 basically just hong kong style 鱼香茄子? or is there a sichuan variety also served in a claypot?
@@BlondieinChina It should be judging from the name. The Sichuan variety (the original variety actually since 鱼香 style dishes originated from Sichuan) is not served in a claypot. The HK style may add some dried seafood and seafood-based sauces like hoisin sauce, which is not present in Sichuan style despite the name.
@@BlondieinChina I don't think I have ever seen a sichuan version served in a claypot and as far a I know it is not common either.
In Hong Kong, 魚香茄子煲and魚香茄子are basically the same thing, one is served with a claypot and one isn't. The one served with a claypot is common in 大排檔 (open-air food stall) in order to keep the dish warm especially in winter. Hong Kong style 魚香茄子 is different from other types because it really made with salted fish.
Beautiful trio!
Erin is so positive with sunny smile on her. Fantastic!
I've been watching your videos all afternoon but for some reason this vid hit me so hard with nostalgia. I'm half Chinese (grew up in Shenzhen but with Guangzhou heritage) and Australian (Melb) and watching you explore Chinese culture at a depth I was never able to as a child is incredible. You're slowly lifting the veil over my eyes and I'm realizing now how much I never knew about my own culture. I was hit with a wave of longing to return to China and relearn everything. I'm going to save up money now to buy a ticket back whenever we're able to. Thank you Blondie! (I'm so upset i missed your subscriber meet up!! I literally live 10 mins from where you held it! xD)
So happy to hear you’ve been enjoying my videos!!! ❤️❤️❤️ you made my day with this comment! Hope to meet you at the next subscriber meet up in Melbourne one day
I can see your sister so excited and purely happy to enjoy eggplant dish.
That 东北印象 is one of my favorite restaurants in Melbourne when I was studying in Melbourne , glad that Amy could find this restaurant
Love Erin’s sense of humour 👍🏻 She’s beautiful ❤️
much love and respect for Erin, very nice of you that you included her in the video.
5:36 love Erin’s smile
Hi Erin! Glad to have you on!!
Love your cousin! she's so cute! It's so nice to see you guys together! ❤️❤️
You can also replace the capsicum with green beans (四季豆) or wide green beans (芸豆)
I am very happy and glad to see Erin is so happy. God bless Erin.
you are so enthusiastic about chinese food its refreshing :-)
Hi Erin.Happy to see you live with confidence and in happiness. :)
why do I feel so good everytime after wathing your video, your laugh is insanley delighting
I love Erin's big smile. 😄😄
Your video is so loving and positive! I love it! Subscribed!
Oh she melted my heart
“鱼香茄子” is the type that what we so call "Fish flavour but without fish" sort of flavour in China, like "鱼香肉丝“, Fish flavour pork slices, like you mentioned in the video, "鱼香” is the kind of flavour that includes sweetness, sour, savoury and a bit spicyness. But when it comes to “咸鱼茄子煲”,which is the canton style, it uses salt marinated dried fish to reinforce the flavour of the eggplant, a lot of people really like the strong taste of the dried fish but some people just thought it might be too strong from the fish, oh btw, next time you can try the “金沙茄子” from “石锅先生”, they are really good, located in Burwood and Chatswood.
Awesome! Thanks so much for that explanation!!
The Cantonese style 鱼香茄子煲 uses Preserved salty Mackerel Fish that comes in Jar. Just like Tuna in a Can.
Erin is an sunshine. Love this episode. She’s so inspiring and I almost cried. Love地三鲜!!!!!!
another happy and funny Chinese food adventure! thank you ladies!
Wonderful episode! We like it very much!
Everyone is so pretty! Especially Erin~ I love how she look with her cute specs!
I spent three years in Melbourne. Beautiful city! Miss it so much
Erin is so radiant like sunshine, love her!
Life gets in the way. Truth!
Love the video, as always! I'm Chinese, but spent most of my life away from China... and I'm learning so much about Chinese dishes from you. :)
Yay! So happy to hear that!
Big thumbs-up to Erin!! You’re just inspirational.....greetings from Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Thank you so much. A great video. Cheers.
Glad you have been to China and understood China. Unfortunately much of the world hasn't seen China and have no idea what's going on there. More of this please and save our Divided State of America.
Love your channel. Look forward to the next one. Cheers from frozen Canada 🇨🇦
Erin is such an awesome girl... I feel the positive energy! Just live the smile... Good luck in your comps!
Blondie, come to California to the LA County area. We have huge cities with a majority of Chinese: Rowland Heights, Monterey Park, Arcadia, San Gabriel Valley, Irvine, and more! We also have the largest Vietnamese community in Orange County outside of Vietnam and Houston, TX.
This video truly depicts the true nature of Blondie!! She's so kind, selfless, and fun-to-be-around.
Go Erin Go!!!!You are the best!
Erin is gorgeous! Her smile can light up the town!
Lovely to meet the rest of your family you are all great positive and awesome 😀
Erin's smile is so infectious,it made me smile without even noticing until my friend called me out

Erin,You are BEST!
Definitely rooting for Erin!
What a adorable and positive lady!I love her!
I have been looking a place which does yummy Chinese eggplant for ages in Melbourne, finally thanks to you, I tried the north east Chinese family ... omgggg it is sooo freaking yummmy
Amy is so cute. She must have been Chinese in a previous life
Erin is such a great girl. Her smile is warm and confident. Best wishes from a Chinese viewer
"Nothing should get in the way of good Chinese food''
Thx Bac, I love this one. BTW, i am a foodie.
Erin's smile melt my heart. 爱❤️
Looking into the Erin's eyes, you will see the light, the light which makes you just, warm. Best wishes for her and all.
Last time, I went to 川府 was about 12 years ago. Lots of memories of students'lifes. Thanks.
It's interesting that I am eating my self-cooked eggplant dish while watching your eggplant adventure. It also makes my dish more delicious than ever before. :) Thank you Amy sisters and your cute friends!
Ooohhh! Enjoy!!
I agree. The Chinese make some of the best eggplant dishes I've ever had. Lovingly including Erin shows that you are kind, considerate and classy gals!😃👏♥️
