Wow, glad to see you trying traditional Chinese breakfast. This is a list about food and dishes that you ordered. 油條 (Fried bread stick), 豆漿 (soy milk), 豆腐腦 (tofu pudding or tofu jelly soup. The tofu soup usually goes with a sesame biscuit or sesame bread. People tear the biscuit into pieces by hands and soak in the broth. Also, if you like the flavor of cilantro, you can ask for some and put in the tofu jelly soup). 耳朵眼炸糕 (Ear-hole fried cake is a fried rice cake with red bean paste. It is sweet).
Greetings from England, thanks for the great video. When I went to Tianjin a couple of years ago, we went and had breakfast just outside the Nanshi Food Mall. Dough sticks are the best .
John Thomas Abroad, thanks for the reply. I’ve been to China multiple times, but only to Tianjin for one day and fell in love with it instantly, I hope to return in the future.
Ohh yeah deep fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk and the tofu pudding looked delish John, They were so friendly too but of course you have to to have Starbucks coffee lol Thanks for taking us with you. 😍
Hello John, really respect your openness to the local food in Tianjin. I am a southerner from Guangxi province and spent 4 years in Xi'an, which is a Northern city that has similar northern-style food, just like the second one you had, the tofu soup. Personally, the consistency of the tofu soup seems not that good. And I know a few foreign friends, who really don't like the slimy texture. But yeah, hat off to your adventurous spirit and open heart to appreciate the local cuisine.
@@JohnThomasAbroad In the year 1142 CE during the Sung dynasty, a famous patriotic general (岳飛 Yue Fei) and his son were framed by a treasonous minister and his wife (Qin Hui 秦檜). After the emperor killed the general and his son, angry citizens made the doubled dough to represent the couple of traitors, threw it into hot boiling oil for punishment, and that became the ubiquitous popular breakfast item all over China. That was the earliest doughnut. People in different provinces have their favourite ways to eat it. That's for you to investigate.
Awesome John Thomas! I appreciated this video I teach Chinese kids ESL and some of the main questions we ask in the mornings is “how is your morning?” and “what did you eat for breakfast?” And they always don’t know what to say 😅 they usually just say “bread”! I Loved getting to seeing a Chinese breakfast Hoping to go to China one day 😊 - Jen
The closet thing to the Chinese fried dough sticks are churros which one can find in the west. One theory was Europe took the idea and made their own version of 油条. Have this fried dough stick in my country too and we dip it into sweeten black coffee.🙂
I am glad to watch your video. My hometown is Tianjin. I am living and working in Tianjin, too. I recommend a place that there are many and traditional breakfast, it is "XiBeiJiao", the station of Metro Line 1.
China invented the "dunkin' of donuts" For any east coast Americans it is just liked "fried dough" you get at the beach in the summer. Only thing to remember about Chinese breakfast is BYOC (coffee). They don't mind : ) Really good video. I'm enjoying your series.
@@JohnThomasAbroad I "byoc" every morning when we eat breakfast at the beach near Beidaihe/Aranya. No coffee where we stay and eat. I do draw the line at bringing beer to a bar (which I've seen done in Sanlitun). Keep the videos coming and best of luck
You're brave to try the tofu dish, it's not even a likeable dish in all Chinese regions, and I can totally see how westerners can be easily turned off by the texture and colour. One of my fav Chinese breakfast is fried dough dipped in sweetened soy milk, very pure and simple flavour, so good especially on cold winter days. Another is crepe+egg+crisp+fried dough+hotdog+... all rolled into one pancake thingy, 煎饼果子, a street food I believe originated in Tianjin, the one you ate as breakfast in your 50RMB challenge video, I'd eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all snacks in between 🙂
Oh the fried doughnut thingy with red bean inside is called 油炸糕, jam packed with high carb high fat and high sugar, all the wonder stuff to kill whatever trendy diet you're on 😁
There is no such thing like "western" style breakfast. The US certainly does not represent the "West" in any way as Europe has many different styles of breakfast such as the German, French, Italian, Spanish, or British. They are so different from each other.
I love Tianjin breakfast. Everything is sooo good You ate tofu with a chopstick.... omgsh, lol Break the 油条 in soy milk or tofu. It's actually in a soy gravy
You can open a new channel in bilibili (an app in apple store which many young man use it),let more chinese people know about you. BTW,your video quality is very good.
Most of the breakfast foods that are popular in Pennsylvania are so gross to me (sunny side up eggs, sausage, scrapple-who would eat this; it literally has “scrap” in the title-and blueberry pancakes), so I hated breakfast growing up. The more opportunities I’ve had to see the way other cultures approach breakfast, the more I like it. I don’t like American donuts, but I’d definitely try a Chinese donut. And the fried…pastry? looks way too greasy in this instance, but I do love red bean paste.
@@JohnThomasAbroad I'm still in Australia. My wife is from Liaoning Province Shenyang. When we go to China we don't go looking for coffee shops. Just that we was waiting for an appointment in Shanghai and saw Starbucks. Thought we give it a try while waiting
@@steve44xds You are from Australia, that explains why you are fussy about coffee. I am Chinese and used to live in Australia for a couple of years, and i admit coffee in Australia is way better than in China.
@@steve44xds don't get me wrong, Australians are very proud of their coffee culture, and most of them have quite high standard for coffee. Anyway, i have no intention to judge people, if you enjoy Satrbucks or whatever, just go for it and enjoy the day!
Stop doing eating things, man . You make me so hungry , my mouth is watering. Gosh only 10 rmb. Really here in LA area if you get some thing you have over there in china will cost at least 10 us dollars now ! Envy and jealous of you 🤩!
Once you are in LA area. There is a place in Monterey Park called garage kitchen . They cook exactly the same kind of Chinese breakfast you got in Tianjin. Of course you have to stuff enough IHOP , Dennis and Norm's that type of sort first you have been missing so much . Be prepared. Authentic Chinese food here in LA cost your bucks. Enjoy you time here and welcome back home 🏘️ I
When you eat at garage kitchen you can take a very good comparison between Chinese food in LA and one in Tianjin on the price and authentication . That is gonna help you to make a good story while you are at home in the states. Be prepared , onec you are in Monterey Park don't get confused . You are back home already in the united states even though there are no English speakers around you in that area .
Nice opening of this video, your breakfast probably costs US$7.50 here at LA and your Starbucks coffee costs double what you paid for the breakfast. LOL
@@JohnThomasAbroad With all due respect, Thomas, Starbucks has the worst coffee taste n its expensive. I am sure China cities have many other great cafes serving better coffee than Starbucks! Just my opinion of course. Besides American coffee is so light! You should try Italian coffee! Once you try thick Italian coffee, you wouldnt want to go back to starbucks again.
Tianjin has an unique dumpling restaurant called 百餃圓. It means hundred flavor of dumplings. They have many restaurants around Tianjin, but our family usually go to this one (平山道), which is located at 43 Pingshan Rd, Hexi District, Tianjin, Tianjin, China. If you would like to try, you can go to their English website. baijiaoyuan.com/en/

Thanks Sales Unb for the recommendation for the restaurant. I loved it and can’t wait to go back.
Next time try 鍋巴菜 or 嘎巴菜 (GuoBaCai) and 芝麻燒餅(ZhiMaShaoBing or sesame biscuit). GuoBaCai made from mung bean powder and a kind of sauce. 😄
Yes! John should eat 锅巴菜（guobacai）at that famous restaurant.
John must be a happy person, there's always smile on his face, keep up the good work! Love your channel!
Thank you so much Ready Travel Plan. Appreciate it.

Soy milk with Chinese donut (you tiao) are my favourite breakfast
Thanks Dream Dream. You Tiao was so good!!
I’m from Tianjin but I haven’t been back home for almost 3 years now... this makes me feel so nostalgic and homesick!

I would love to have dim sum for breakfast. Xiao long bao is irresistible 🔥
Enjoy your gastronomic adventure 👍😀
I sure will. Thanks mansana.
Wow, that 油条 has a historical background
So cool to hear that.

@@crazygambler920 😆 this you tiao wasn’t that greasy but I imagine there are some that are.
Great!!!
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Watching you eating all that delicious food makes me so hungry 😋
Sorry! 😋 🤣
I miss the breakfast in Tianjin, they are really nice, and many varieties, also very affordable, some of them you can only find in Tianjin.
Love your friendliness and showing us loads
Thanks Sarah!

Hi, John. It's really a classic Chinese restaurant and a typical breakfast. But it's really funny that cooker wore nothing on upperbody.
you ordered: 油条， 炸糕， 豆腐脑， 豆浆。 豆腐脑和油条是很好的搭配， 大饼加油条也是很好的选择。

What a great memory!

I really didn’t mind it and I love 煎饼果子。so popular in Tianjin.
My favourite way of eating youtiao is to spread kaya jam over it, serve with black coffee.
That sounds delicious
everything you ordered is my favorite breakfast, only tofu pudding is different compare to my hometown xi'an, ❤️❤️👍👍😘😘😘👏👏👏
So good!
As Amy said , Tianjin is the capital of breakfast.
I haven't seen her videos of Tianjin. I need to check it out.

I couldn’t tell by your face when you tried the tofu - I thought for sure you didn’t like it! 😂
Would be cool if you could do a video about the pastries 🍰🍰
Good idea George. I need to start to watch my weight some more before I do that. 😂

You ate tofu with a chopstick.... omgsh, lol
Break the 油条 in soy milk or tofu. It's actually in a soy gravy
I loved it!!
When I was a kid I liked to drink soy milk with sugar, and after grew up I preferred the original flavor.
It did taste sweet I wonder if there was a little sugar in there.
I reckon cantonese breakfast has much more variety of choices therefor better cater for a wider palates.....well that's my personal reckoning:)
Thanks for sharing your perspective. 😊
I like ‘you tiao’.
(1) Youtiao - Mandarin pronunciation (2) The second looks like Zhagao (one of traditional snacks eaten in the morning in northern regions.)
Thanks for that! Awesome!
