Hi, I saw in your last video that you are planning to go back to China next month? I would love to see a video explaining your process of applying for the exemption and the visa, thank you.
I have loved joining Blondie on these food tour experiences. I can honestly say there are few things that I disliked and so much more I really really enjoyed. I will miss her so much now she is returning to China and already can’t wait until I can travel there to see her.
You don't have to like everything, but it's great that you and Mum are willing to try everything. I cannot wait to see the Blondie Family making videos together in China!
If you go further south, at the countries like Malaysia and Singapore. They actually do like what your dad says, they dip the YouTiao into hot black coffee instead.
Actually there are many different ways to eat youtiao in different parts of China. Dip youtiao into tofu soup，or place the youtiao between rice cakes or pancakes(蒸饭，煎饼，米饭饼)，etc. That's just in my city, east of China.
Exactly! Malaysia and Singapore is a good example of melting pot of food between east and west... We dip youtiao into the coffee! Especially the black coffee, our elderly love that!
Your dad surprised me. He’s the first person I know who’s able to connect congee with sick food in his first try and comes up with that brilliant idea to put congee in a coffee cup for take away. He doesn’t talk often but when he does he comments on things precisely and on point, that comes only from people who have a certain level of int with such a open mind... plus he looks good. My suggestion, don’t ever try to dig his past about his popularities when he was young.
He also had the right idea to dip the youtiao in the changfen soy sauce. Theres actually a cantonese dish which is exactly that, a fried youtiao wrapped in the changfen topped off with sweet soy sauce.
Amy your dad got it perfectly spot on when he said that congee is equivalent to the chicken soup you get when you're under the weather! A lot of Chinese Indonesian families that I know have congee as the go-to-food for those sick days (of course not only limited to sick days)
So the tea eggs are basically you boil the eggs upfront with tap water and crack them up without opening them and then slow cook them with tea leafs, dark soy sauce, soy sauce, few spicies for like 12 hours...it's really tasty especially with that special fragrance.
Fun fact: It is said that churros was inspired by the chinese Youtiao by sea fairing Portuguese merchants who brought the idea back from Ming dynasty china and it slowly developed in churros in Spain.
Your parents are lovely - so gracious and open minded. I've heard Aussies are good travellers and clearly your family is no exception :). Love that shot of your Dad rubbing his happy stomach! Lol. Would love to see more videos with parents.
While I'm happy you'll soon go to China once again, I'll miss those videos with you and your family. They've become an integral part of your channel. The humorous interactions made those videos a lot of fun.
Malaysian Chinese would normally dip youtiao into coffee, red bean soup and congee (not dip but submerged them in congee), never in soy milk. Pairing soy milk with youtiao is mainly found in Northern China and Taiwan. Almost all Chinese families in Malaysia came from south of China.
Youtiao dip in congee or tau suan/split mung beans are more common in Sarawak here. Though i think one of the best way to eat it is to be spread with kaya (coconut pandan egg jam)
Thank you for taking the time to make subs in Chinese. It is really helpful to us who are trying to learn and it also gives a lot more reason to come back to the videos to see and hear how certain words are used in real life scenarios! And of course, your dad is awesome!
I like what your dad said about the congee reminding him of soup his mum made when he was sick! My mum's go to food for me when I was sick was her homemade congee :)
Here in Malaysia we Cantonese call 'youtiao' as 油炸鬼 and a traditional way to eat it is to dip it into a cup of steamy hot local black coffee('Nanyang coffee' - available in 2-in-1 or 3-in-1, sold in Australia too). I like to pair it with nescafe too:)
I never heard about this before, don't think I will like it, an acqúired taste may be, but I will try next time I am in Malaysia, been thére 6/7 tímes, interesting place.
@@TheAaafirst The younger generations seldom do this anymore. You can try this anywhere so long you could get hold of a sachet of Malaysia black coffee. Don't soak the youtiao, just dip it.
I was hoping the legend of 油条、秦桧、岳飞 would be featured as an interesting story just to let more people hear about history. And also to link it to other names such as 油炸鬼
I use to dip the square cracker biscuit in hot coffee until it is soft and fluffy for breakfast. I prefer not to dip youtiao, I tear pieces into congee and let soak and soften then slurp with a soup spoon.
This family is clearly open minded and their taste is diversified and complex. Most people will eat their normal breakfast but won't get out of their comfort zone. This family is clearly comfortable eating different kinds of foods and gain experiences that it's hard if they don't like it. They have this diplomatic heir about them. Very fun to watch all if them gain so much experience!
I'm so grateful that you're bringing Chinese culture to your people and hopefully reduces further of the on-going hate-asian culture caused by the ongoing pandemic.
In the south, a pineapple bun with hot milk tea or coffee is a popular breakfast. Also there are many fusion foods such as macaroni soup with spam or ham or chicken, or rice vermicelli soup with pork.
there‘s thousands types of breakfasts in China, one of my favorite is Guo Bian Hu 锅边糊 from my hometown, you can choose many different flavors and dipping You Tiao or other snacks from my home town such as 虾酥、蚝饼、芋头三角糕 and etc. There are many more different choices of breakfast in my hometown 🤤
Glad you came to my suburb, Eastwood to sample Chinese cuisine, Amy. Eastwood has changed a lot since I moved in in the early 1990's from a boutique suburb with toy stores, haberdasheries, a camping store, a hardware store, music stores, Maccas & KFC to what is it now; mainly Chinese restaurants one side of the railway line to Korean cuisine on the other side. It's an Asian food mecca, you won't starve in Eastwood..as long as you have money. LOL Your enthusiasm for Chinese cuisine is infectious and thanks showing off Eastwood. :) Keep the videos coming and avagoodday!
My workmates call congee as rice porridge, they said they would never want to try it, it looks w🤨. After a Chinese wedding banquet, they said they were shocked, they served the fish with the fish head on and ….. 😂🤣 I am glad to see your parents openly happily trying C foods 🙏
Congee is made in India too and generally people have it when sick with cold. It is either made by siphoning Excess starchy water during cooking rice, adding carret or turnip or beet root. Adding mustard sauce and keeping it for fermentation for one day. In India, people add to congee fried balls made with overnight soaked lentils batter.
Well, my tummy who also lived in SZ before is complaining and screaming now: “Chang fen, Chang fen...” while my ‘tears’ are dripping from my mouth sadly...
I'm so happy for you that you're going back to China! Your Sydney videos have really given me an appreciation for at least the Chinese food scene in the city. Going to miss those, but looking forward to your China videos.
Yep, you can absolutely have hard boiled egg sandwich with manta as bread. I had it almost morning for 6 years of secondary school - hard boiled egg with soy sauce drizzled onto the yolk & sandwiched in-between the Mantou!
You also can dip the You Tiao with chinese black coffee (that already added with sugar) too and with all kind of porridges. The You Tiao over here is straigh not twiced. Chinese also Yam Cha with Dim Sum but only once while or during weekend. Normally eat noodles... But majority modern chinese family eat bread, oats, with milk or chocolate drinks for breakfast.
I remember your Dad lovingly sipped the remaining sweet soya sauce from the plate of your homemade Cheung Fun. Disappointed not to see a repeat performance in public. :D Mother China eagerly awaits her adopted daughter’s return too!
I totally agree. I grew up eating chang fen in Guangzhou, so I prefer the haphazard street version, which seems to be more tasty, than the restaurant more orderly but thicker skin version. Somehow Cantonese rice porridge is cooked for a longer time, so it’s easier to digestion, whereas the northern version of xi fan 稀饭, is more like a watery rice version. Congee is for people who are sick and need easier digestion as it’s very thoroughly cooked. Thanks for so positively introducing the Chinese culture to the world.
It is really nice to hear that you'll be China again, welcome! Actually I'm Hongkonger and living in HK, let see if you will come to HK for the 2nd time and it will be my pleasure if I can bring you to the traditional & famous restaurant.
So glad to learn about your upcoming trip to China. Wish I could be in China one day! Other than the foods in China, I enjoy the friendship over there more! You have been training your parents well, when they come to visit you in China, they would feel comfortable with their surroundings.
When your dad sopped up the soy sauce with the youtiao I was reminded of your last video where your friend said eating vegemite is like pouring soy sauce on bread and eating it. lol
Congee is also a comfort food when we're down or rainy day, other then for breakfast, main meals & as sick food. As for the youtiao, you need to soak it in the congee/porridge much longer before consuming. Plus, you have not tried dipping youtiao in authentic black coffee (not from Starbuck or Coffee Bean), like we do in Singapore/Malaysia; which you may give up on dipping it in soya bean milk.
That's my favourite Bao store in Eastwood too! You should buy some small Mantou and deep fry it with a condensed milk dip on the side for your parents to try :D
I'm Malaysian n think Malaysian food is the best...it's extremely subjective. Objectively, the world needs much more people like u and your parents. So open minded, bouyant, pleasant....makes me want to try what u all did. Thank you.
@@snowsnow3418 You are being ridiculous, just speaking of her video quilities, that take lots of times to produce a video like that, and people appreciate true art, sound peace, grand nature, positive energy and hardworking ,thats the reason why she can gain such many subs. Besides she is already very famous in China before she released videos on YT, just count the population of China, its not too hard to imagine how a genuine beautiful being can be appreciated by the world in a short time
Love those Chinese breakfast . . . didn't know there are so many choices. Wow ! Wish we have those here in Vegas. Thanks for your video and wish you much success in China.
I’m pretty sure you can find most of these items in Vegas. Definitely congee, cheung fun, hot soy milk, mantou. Not sure about bao but do some research.
You tiao is a very versatile food. It can go with plenty of other food. You can dip it in coffee, almond milk. Locally we also soak it into something we called bak kut teh, a herbal pork based soup.
Feeling hungry after watching your food expeditions. Really fun watching you bring your parents on your food ventures. Quite surprised to see there's so many Chinese food businesses in your area.
Tea eggs are eggs basically cooked in tea with soy sauce. You can add other ingredients to the solution like star anise, peppercorns…etc. First you boil the eggs then lightly crack them all the way around so that the solution can get inside then just cook the cracked eggs in the solution. Some people even put cola in the solution.
Blondie's dad, on evidence of dipping his youtiao into what's left of the changfen sauce, has that wicked natural foodie wisdom - an intuition of what foods go well together. You can't teach that sort of food smarts!
I grew up eating all these breakfast you highlighted in this video...All are not heavily oily food except for the youtiao, steamed, boiled and healthy...No worries for heart-attacks...I eat congee too when I am feeling sick...It is easy to digest and eases the body for faster recovery...
Hi Blondie, how do you get your visa to China? I have an Australian passport and have been trying to go to China since last year! It will be great if you can tell me WHAT VISA YOU APPLIED FOR and WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT?
One of the styles of cantonese 腸粉 is to wrap the 油條inside. It’s call 炸兩. If you search that, you will see the picture of it. I think your dad will like it。 上海粢飯糰 also has 油條inside。
So happy u are returning to china. Have a safe journey. And i recommend rosetta stone too. Such a great app. Even you are not a serious language learner, rosetta stone is such a fun way to kill time.
Hey blondie in china yes you are right we also eat this in singapore. This can be paired with our sg traditional breakfast set ( soft boiled eggs, coffee, and toast with kaya ( idk... coconut smthing) or butter.
There are also Chai tow kueh ( Fried Radish cake ), Chwee kueh ( steamed rice cake with preserved radish), Soon Kueh ( Steamed dumpling) and Ban Chien Kway ( Peanut Pancake) All these are Superb for breakfast. And You tiao always come with Ham Chim Peng ( deep fried hollow doughnut with coating of sesame seeds) Best come with Kopi O' Cao. For photos of above pls Google. 🙂
In some Chinese diaspora societies, youtiao is eaten also for breakfast but just as often dipped in local variety coffees as they are in hot/warm soy milk. So, yes, by all means, get your youtiaos and head for your usual Starbucks! Whatever works for you!
At 3.55 your Dad mentioned that his chopsticks skills would not be good enough to use for congee. It reminded me of the time many many years ago a Caucasian colleague asked me sarcastically how did Chinese people have soup with chopsticks. Fortunately, I was a lot more adroit mentally in those days to let him know that we use chopsticks for soup the same way he and his family have soup with knives and forks. Thank you Amy for your videos on Chinese culture and cuisine.
Hello from Melbourne! Omg I just stumbled upon your channel and I’m in such awe!! I wish I learned more Chinese growing up (I’m from Malaysia but english was my first language at home) and I’ve suddenly had inspiration from all the Chinese tv shows I’ve been watching since COVID to try and practice more and you’ve also inspired me!! Do you have a video about how you got into learning Chinese? I’d love to know what’s inspired you. 🙌🏻
one of the best thing about sydney for me is the Chinese food there, pretty much anything you want you could find it somewhere -- and I'm in perth could hardly find a place sells youtiao at 9am....
This is my first time watching your channel, and damn, really like it! U introducing the food genuinely, like how I would intro to people don’t know anything about it. A lot of others would do it very exaggerated like it’s some shit you will eat it once for fun, but won’t do again. There’s something about your voice/the way u speak that makes me wanna keep watching. Lol
A hot bowl of congee with fried Chinese churros or youtiao is comforting food in cold winter( sprinkle with pepper). Your parents should try the rice noodle wrapped in Chinese churros with sweet and salty soy sauce. It is really yummy breakfast. But if Chinese churros can be cooking for lunch and dinner besides breakfast. And that dish is steamed egg with pieces of Chinese churros. 😋 Also try fried mantao with sweet condense milk is good too.
I was introduced to tea eggs by my Taiwanese roommate on achool. Later on i learned to make them. They are yummy to eat out of hand or to make a really nice egg salad

You guys are sooo supportive, appreciate it!
I recommend “you tiao” with “white congee”( No additional stuff in a congee). I ranked this combination to “best combination of food” number 2 !
If you go further south, at the countries like Malaysia and Singapore. They actually do like what your dad says, they dip the YouTiao into hot black coffee instead.
Exactly, as a Malaysian, I like to dip it in coffee more than soy milk. It taste amazing too

My Chinese office mate taught me to make congee and it’s been our breakfast for years now. We like chicken congee, heavy on the fresh ginger.
He must from south haha
It's also great with fish filet and ginger
Love chicken congee when I'm sick. I even throw in a mandarin peel aswell to give it a slight twang.
@@soyabro Ooohhh. I will try that!
congee for breakfast actually is good for stomach, after that get a cup of tea works even better, trust me.

"I'm a big fan of this...you could say I'm a chang fan." 😅😆
hahaha Cantonese ppl got this lol
🤣 Blondie Dad style pun jokes!
never say "I'm a chang fan" in Guangdong or Hk hahahaha

@@snowsnow3418 You are being ridiculous, just speaking of her video quilities, that take lots of times to produce a video like that, and people appreciate true art, sound peace, grand nature, positive energy and hardworking ,thats the reason why she can gain such many subs. Besides she is already very famous in China before she released videos on YT, just count the population of China, its not too hard to imagine how a genuine beautiful being can be appreciated by the world in a short time
Love those Chinese breakfast . . . didn't know there are so many choices. Wow ! Wish we have those here in Vegas. Thanks for your video and wish you much success in China.
I’m pretty sure you can find most of these items in Vegas. Definitely congee, cheung fun, hot soy milk, mantou. Not sure about bao but do some research.
Almost 200k sub Amy! Congrats!
Almost there!!! Thanks August!
You tiao is a very versatile food. It can go with plenty of other food. You can dip it in coffee, almond milk. Locally we also soak it into something we called bak kut teh, a herbal pork based soup.
Hi Amy, to me the best combination with mantou is with condensed milk... you should really try “fried mantou” with condensed milk, it’s delicious! 😄
yum yum! Love that!
Feeling hungry after watching your food expeditions. Really fun watching you bring your parents on your food ventures. Quite surprised to see there's so many Chinese food businesses in your area.

Tea eggs are eggs basically cooked in tea with soy sauce. You can add other ingredients to the solution like star anise, peppercorns…etc. First you boil the eggs then lightly crack them all the way around so that the solution can get inside then just cook the cracked eggs in the solution. Some people even put cola in the solution.
Blondie's dad, on evidence of dipping his youtiao into what's left of the changfen sauce, has that wicked natural foodie wisdom - an intuition of what foods go well together. You can't teach that sort of food smarts!
Seeing how open minded and cool easy going your parents I realize why you have the happy out going personality you have
You should try 豆腐脑 for breakfast, in both sweet and salty flavor.
I grew up eating all these breakfast you highlighted in this video...All are not heavily oily food except for the youtiao, steamed, boiled and healthy...No worries for heart-attacks...I eat congee too when I am feeling sick...It is easy to digest and eases the body for faster recovery...
Congee is the healthiest breakfast ever... I like Cantonese style for sure
I'm Chinese. Congee is easy to digest, good for ill people. But it is not very healthy. Basically just a bowl of carb and water with high GI.
@@saxson911 Congee+eggs+veggie=healthy
Good job keep up the good work! I love the way you re-present our Authentic Chinese food. People have no idea what they are missing.
Hi Blondie, how do you get your visa to China?
I have an Australian passport and have been trying to go to China since last year!
It will be great if you can tell me WHAT VISA YOU APPLIED FOR and WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT?
One of the styles of cantonese 腸粉 is to wrap the 油條inside. It’s call 炸兩. If you search that, you will see the picture of it. I think your dad will like it。 上海粢飯糰 also has 油條inside。
我作为山东人吃得早餐：潍坊火烧，包子，豆浆油条，煎饼果子，肉夹馍，安徽板面，小笼包，炒饼
潍坊老乡好，你咋没说朝天锅 和乐

So happy u are returning to china. Have a safe journey. And i recommend rosetta stone too. Such a great app. Even you are not a serious language learner, rosetta stone is such a fun way to kill time.
Dad is like me. Soya sauce enhances food with umami flavour.
Great parents can have a great daughter! 看到你的父母就知道你为什么这么自信，这么乐观了！
dad explored 炸凉(youtiao油条 is wrapped inside changfen肠粉) by himself
Hahahah he's a food genius!
I am so glad that you and your parents enjoy Chinese breakfast, I'm gonna light up subscribe button for you,love from China!
When Amy said "I'm not really a big egg girl", and I'm listening to her speaking Mandarin be like ... >_>
Hey blondie in china yes you are right we also eat this in singapore. This can be paired with our sg traditional breakfast set ( soft boiled eggs, coffee, and toast with kaya ( idk... coconut smthing) or butter.
Aint a good idea to watch this at 2am... it makes me damn hungry🤨
Me too,
There are also Chai tow kueh ( Fried Radish cake ), Chwee kueh ( steamed rice cake with preserved radish), Soon Kueh ( Steamed dumpling) and Ban Chien Kway ( Peanut Pancake) All these are Superb for breakfast. And You tiao always come with Ham Chim Peng ( deep fried hollow doughnut with coating of sesame seeds) Best come with Kopi O' Cao. For photos of above pls Google. 🙂
没有比这更好的消息了~恭喜！
In some Chinese diaspora societies, youtiao is eaten also for breakfast but just as often dipped in local variety coffees as they are in hot/warm soy milk.
So, yes, by all means, get your youtiaos and head for your usual Starbucks! Whatever works for you!
Your dad doesn't look like a morning person lol.
I know right? he was not quite in the mood, lol
At 3.55 your Dad mentioned that his chopsticks skills would not be good enough to use for congee. It reminded me of the time many many years ago a Caucasian colleague asked me sarcastically how did Chinese people have soup with chopsticks. Fortunately, I was a lot more adroit mentally in those days to let him know that we use chopsticks for soup the same way he and his family have soup with knives and forks.
Thank you Amy for your videos on Chinese culture and cuisine.
love congee. It's my go breakfast that I have every morning as its good for the digestive tract. It goes great with the rice rolls!
You can try "炸兩" , They put the youtiao in Chang Fen, So it can absorb the Soy Sauce on it with the Chang Fen outer skin and Keep the Youtiao crunchy!
Cantonese rice congee is creamy in cosistency without any dairy inputs, Chinese have very little dishes with milk or dairy products traditionally.
Hello from Melbourne! Omg I just stumbled upon your channel and I’m in such awe!! I wish I learned more Chinese growing up (I’m from Malaysia but english was my first language at home) and I’ve suddenly had inspiration from all the Chinese tv shows I’ve been watching since COVID to try and practice more and you’ve also inspired me!! Do you have a video about how you got into learning Chinese? I’d love to know what’s inspired you. 🙌🏻
one of the best thing about sydney for me is the Chinese food there, pretty much anything you want you could find it somewhere -- and I'm in perth could hardly find a place sells youtiao at 9am....
Great news! glad to hear that you are getting to China again, cheers!
You can slice Manto up first, then put litter oil, chilling power/flax, salt or other flavours that you like. the next it bakes it. (Bake Mantou)
This is my first time watching your channel, and damn, really like it! U introducing the food genuinely, like how I would intro to people don’t know anything about it. A lot of others would do it very exaggerated like it’s some shit you will eat it once for fun, but won’t do again. There’s something about your voice/the way u speak that makes me wanna keep watching. Lol
The parents share the egg, a picture of real happiness and love.
Hi in order to eat less heat or hot we usually eat it from the surround of the bowl which is far more colder.
A hot bowl of congee with fried Chinese churros or youtiao is comforting food in cold winter( sprinkle with pepper). Your parents should try the rice noodle wrapped in Chinese churros with sweet and salty soy sauce. It is really yummy breakfast. But if Chinese churros can be cooking for lunch and dinner besides breakfast. And that dish is steamed egg with pieces of Chinese churros. 😋 Also try fried mantao with sweet condense milk is good too.
Next week I'm heading to Eastwood for Youtiao and Juk! Haven't had it for 20 years and still miss it.
I was introduced to tea eggs by my Taiwanese roommate on achool. Later on i learned to make them. They are yummy to eat out of hand or to make a really nice egg salad
in south East Asia, we sometimes dip "you tiaw=油条” （Malaysia & HK called it 油炸鬼）with black coffee with sugar.
It's great that your parents are open all kinds of food options from China. Keep it up Blondie.
Omg I love your mom, so so soooooo elegant.
