I also like the yogurt you drink. It has a slightly sweet taste. This brand is called "Old Beijing Yogurt". It has a history of about 40-50 years in Beijing. A little bit of honey is added to the yogurt, and the taste is very rich.
I saw all you video in China. why are you so shy to talk to the local people. I believe the yong people in Beijng can speak a little bit English, they will help you to find the proper restaurant.
I made a similar mistake when I ordered two dishes in Guiyang, I could hardly finish only one of them. Sometimes, it is hard to estimate the size of each dish. In China, they are usually bigger than expected. The black sauce is Tian Mian Jiang (sweet flour sauce).
There’s a tip for finding a good restaurant in China,it’s highly chance to be a good restaurant when many people are dining there at lunch or dinner time.
By the way, those are called HOT POT (6:13). So the food in those hot pot are extremely hot which is why they don't called HOT POT for nothing. Mind yourself though. Any tourist is the guest of the country. Now I learned to respect that - Welcome to China !
Google on your phone can install offline translation functionality. This way you can translate even without an internet connection. Or install a VPN on your phone to solve the Google login problem. If you want to come to China again after returning to your country, you can activate international roaming with a SIM card in your country. When you go to China, you can directly use your mobile phone to roam and access social apps.
5:00 You had fried shredded potatoes. Although potatoes are an exotic food, China has many potato dishes, and potato starch is even used to make noodles, which are very delicious.
北京的美食来源于两个字--“讲究”，光单单是烤鸭工艺就分挂炉烤鸭和焖炉烤鸭，光是传统店烤鸭店都分便宜坊、四季民福、全聚德、利群、晟永興、提督、京味斋、大董等等一堆，还没说其他新开的网红店。这些都是需要时间去探索的。 The cuisine of Beijing can be summed up in two words: "attention to detail." Take the craft of roasting duck, for instance-there are two main techniques: hanging oven and closed oven. Just among the traditional roast duck restaurants, you have Bianyifang, Siji Minfu, Quanjude, Liqun, Sheng Yong Xing, Tidu, Jingweizhai, Da Dong, and many more. And this doesn't even include the numerous trendy new spots that have recently opened. Exploring all these places requires time and dedication. 你们探索需要的是攻略和时间 What you need to explore is guidance and time
You should order rice with your meal,if you don't like plain rice,put your food sauce unto it and mixed it,it taste better and not dull, because you got western palate and not used to it.
When you eat roast duck, the white part is sugar. You eat it directly with the duck skin dipped in sugar, and the green onions, sauce, and cucumber are wrapped in a pancake and eaten. The black beans in the noodles are soybeans + yellow sauce.
Most of Chinese restaurants open in specific hours. Lunch time from 11:00~14:00, dinner time is from 17:00~20:00. Usually they have a afternoon break from 14:00-17:00.
All restaurants in the UK should have a mandarin translation version to make it easier for Chinese tourists since mandarin is actually the most spoken language in the world.
That’s by population, not by worldwide speaking. English is the universal language, unfortunately Madarin isn’t so it wouldn’t make any business sense for U.K. to include mandarin translations. Spanish, French, German and other European languages are far more widely spoken throughout the U.K. than Mandarin.
@dunneytravels: In Canada, most Chinese restaurants have both English and Chinese on the menus. That's because most of the customers are chinese, and a number of them are more comfortable speaking Chinese. English is not an official language of mainland China. It just isn't. It doesn't matter whether or not it's the universal language. Some people would prefer that people in China get rid of Mandarin and just speak English. I doubt that will ever happen though. The dominant country in the future will be either China or India. Only a small number of people in India actually speak English fluently -- about 9%. The vast majority speak Hindi.
Beth You were grasping your chopstick way too low when having the duck meal. This would make it very difficult to pickup food. Your hand should be holding the upper portion of the chopstick rather than the middle or lower portion. When you hold the chopstick in the middle or near the tip, the movement range is limited. Don't equate holding the chopstick with holding a pencil. Dan's hand position on the chopstick is correct.
the first meal was salty, right? cuz u ate it wronly, the chicken, the potato(second) and the pot(the third) supposed to be eaten with rice ofc. Also if u can not finish the food u can asked them to pack it and take it home. 😊
Recently, China's 144-hour visa-free transit policy, so that “China Travel” continues to be hot, China's beauty and food favored by many foreign tourists, so that foreign immersion “card”, tea, eat meat buns, taste spicy hot pot, enjoy the theater! Performances .......
I am a Chinese, I want to remind you. As more and more foreign tourists come to China, such scams may become more popular. One person takes the initiative to chat with you, making you think you have made friend. In the end, he/she will sell you some tea, local specialties, or other products, usually at a higher price than usual. Or recommend you to participate in a paid travel activity, but it may not be worth it. In some tourist attractions, some actors may warmly invite you to participate in activities, such as folk wedding performance, let you perform as the groom, and after everything is completed, they will ask you for money, but this situation is rare in formal attractions. I have seen some vloggers and comments say that the Chinese people are friendly. If you accept this idea, you may become victim of such scam. Good luck.
Thanks for highlighting this issue! Unfortunately this is already very commonplace in India, Sri Lanka and much of south east Asia so thankfully we are aware of the usual signs of those king of scams. First timers do fall for these though and it’s sad.
Relax, in Beijing, a city of 23 million people, 100,000 restaurants, there are delicious and not delicious, there are expensive and inexpensive, there are good service is not good, and there are language barriers, it is impossible to every service can be satisfied with everyone, right? 放轻松些，在北京2300万人口的城市，10万家餐馆，有好吃和不好吃的，有贵和不贵的，有服务好的不好的，而且还有语言障碍，不可能每次服务都可以人人满意不是嘛？ And for better or worse, exploration and trial and error, different cultural shocks, isn't that what travel is all about? 而且无论好坏，探索和试错，不同的文化震撼，这不就是旅行的意义么？

Why not use translation software? The translation software on mobile phones is very convenient. If you don’t understand something, you can just take a photo and translate it. If you don’t understand something and can’t speak it, you can use the translation software to easily solve the problem without causing misunderstandings or mistakes.
You can just ask them what you want to eat, Chinese people are very friendly, they will be happy to answer. Welcome to China.
These foods must be paired with rice so they don't feel too salty. In Asia rice = bread.
最开心是看你俩吃不熟悉的食物，和对食物的评价
🤗祝旅遊愉快。

be nice to them. dont scare our foreign friends. 你看起来是在给中肯的建议，但是英文读起来对外国人来说，会有点凶。当然国人都是这样讲话的，但是大家语言习俗不一样的，外国人会觉得在指责他们的。😂
拿一碗米饭, 这样吃才不会吃腻
光吃菜不吃饭那当然油了😂确实他们不咋会吃

you guys are doing alright with the duck. Well done !!

those are shredded potatoes, the last dish is a xinjiang delicacy made of chicken.
By the way, those are called HOT POT (6:13). So the food in those hot pot are extremely hot which is why they don't called HOT POT for nothing. Mind yourself though. Any tourist is the guest of the country. Now I learned to respect that - Welcome to China !

Chinese food is amazing, test everyone need take maybe more than a month.😅
No at all

I would stay away from McDonald's, especially when you have only 144 hours in China. I am sure you can have McDonald's when you go home.
There are so many fun and beautiful places in China, this is just the tip of the iceberg
The big plate of chicken you eat at the eighth minute of the video, with noodles underneath, should be called "big plate chicken"
Beijing is called the desert of food in China, but I know the oasis in the desert
you got a chicken dish, a potato dish, and a chicken and potato dish.😂😂😂😂
Those dishes were salty because you were suppose to eat them with rice 😂😂😂
I can't imagine how I can eat that much without rice 🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤
这烤鸭看得我直流口水🤤
第一个饭馆，适合工作餐，如果想体验好一些，建议找好一些的饭馆。可以下载APP，大众点评，可以帮忙选饭馆。
You need to eat stir fry with rice😂🤭
小时不够玩，144小时只能是新手体验卡
basically, a fried rice is a must for every meals in china, easy to eat. then plus other two or three dishes of meat and vegetables.
did you guys order the extra large yourself at 6:09 ?
the first meal was salty, right? cuz u ate it wronly, the chicken, the potato(second) and the pot(the third) supposed to be eaten with rice ofc. Also if u can not finish the food u can asked them to pack it and take it home. 😊
Do you eat hot food without blowing it to cool it down and then put it in your mouth?
4:57 it is potato haha
❤
Hey，feel free to use any tablewares including your hands
It’s not illegal to not use chopsticks in China
Don’t challenge yourself. There are plenty of tasty, non-spicy dishes to choose from.
不错的视频，在中国吃饭有很多规矩，也可以说没有，我们的规矩通常来讲是对亲人和好朋友的，对待客人都是很宽容，你可以随心所欲的用筷子，叉子，勺子或者用手只要你自己喜欢，或者怎么你感觉方便都可以，不用太拘谨，我们也经常有用不好筷子的时候，我就直接用手😂😂😂，不用担心。另外，烤鸭里面的砂糖是给有些喜欢只吃鸭皮的人沾鸭皮吃的，另一种口味。中国菜通常都加米饭或者面条吃，除非聚会喝酒，祝旅行快乐！
吃完啦😂

第一家餐廳的老闆或點餐人員可以更友好一些，除了土豆絲之外，另外兩道菜是為中國人配飯或配酒時的料理，直接吃多了口味感覺會更重，尤其是吃最後那一大盆，那麼多沒配白飯或麵食，連中國人吃多都會覺得甜膩或鹹膩，不知道這城市的餐廳老闆兩小碗白飯是多貴？？？打折或附贈兩碗白飯會虧本太多嗎？況且帶那麼多湯的菜，連根勺子湯匙或小碗都不主動提供，如果有筍絲或金針之類，連中國人用筷子都不一定能全夾起來吃完！免簽是政府帶動國內民生經濟的良政，但中國百姓商攤和食館，想讓生意長期更好，國際旅客都給好評，那要靠自己的商品和服務，那是靠國家政府靠老天都不打保證的事，服務與被服務都將心比心，那才會是愉快的主客皆歡之事！😄😄😄
Relax, in Beijing, a city of 23 million people, 100,000 restaurants, there are delicious and not delicious, there are expensive and inexpensive, there are good service is not good, and there are language barriers, it is impossible to every service can be satisfied with everyone, right?
放轻松些，在北京2300万人口的城市，10万家餐馆，有好吃和不好吃的，有贵和不贵的，有服务好的不好的，而且还有语言障碍，不可能每次服务都可以人人满意不是嘛？
And for better or worse, exploration and trial and error, different cultural shocks, isn't that what travel is all about?

我发现外国人来中国。经常会搞不清楚搭配。 乱吃一通🤭
中国菜是很复杂的体系。。你需要搭配的。
You didn't order rice or noodles.😂
我并不赞赏对中餐没有太多认识的外国朋友，来到中国后在没有翻译没有图片参照的情况下盲目点餐，对于旅行者来说也许称作挑战，但也会产生对中国餐饮文化的误解。我觉得聘请一个美食导游会完美解决对中餐的一切问题。
