- My neighbours here in Beijing took me out for Beijing local dishes! I learned a lot about Beijing food, found a food I'll definitely be having again, as well as a food I definitely WON'T be having EVER AGAIN!

6:05 when he asked you how much you paid for the douzhi, totally felt like my Chinese dad growing up, always making sure I didn't get ripped off. The “aaah" after you told him you spent 3 kuai was 100% an "aaah" of approval and relief. XD ”These neighbours seem like really great people who want the best for you. Looking forward to more content with them in the future.
欢迎你回来🤗
Uncle was worried she'd get ripped off for being laowai.

You have been adopted by the cutest "auntie and uncle couple" in Beijing! Such a blessing.
yea feels like 'second parents' in china
@@shirleyqiu4189 adopted by communists.
I love how they took you under their wing! They're so hospitable!
Hahaha! Love your lovely neighbours and their sense of humour and friendship. I hope they come to Australia one day and I can show them some Aussie foods, like meat pies, Vegemite toast, Lamb roast with mint sauce, and maybe a chicken parmi with a beer!
🥰Love Blondie's lovely neighbours, too! Hoping that Blondie can make more videos with them together!!😋
Throw a shrimp on the barbie mate
@@mustardseed9969 chuck a prawn on the barbie is more like it lol
@@mustardseed9969 Prawns! Prawns!
I‘m in Au. When my parents came to visit, I brought them for Aussie brunch with coffee. Australia has really good coffee shops here.
Wow! The universe works in mysterious ways -- incredible that your neighbours are such knowledgeable local food gastronomists, and it helps that they're not camera shy! Such naturals! More collaborations with them please :)
Hahahaha, I would say almost everyone in China is a culinary expert! My parents even grew their own veggies from their childhood and shared it with the neighbors at the community center.
Your comment is on point ，lol
this uncle is really cool😆
Your neighbours seem like the sweetest people! So happy you have them to show you all the good spots to enjoy!
Next to your parents,your neighbors are the sweetest couple ever!
don’t forget Nico and Jack lol
I love that your neighbors are so accomodating and lovely. You asking Shushu for help and him just happily joining in to teach you is so cute. I wish America was more like that!
I've been a fan for a while and it's so heartwarming to see you with Aunty and Uncle exploring their hometown! Makes me miss my family back in China
Same! Haven’t back to Beijing for 2 years and couldn’t go back these year as well🥲🥲miss everything in her videos
Maybe I’m watching this with a really full stomach because I found your neighbours more WOW-ing than today’s food. :D
Such a nice video! I’ve never had an intimate view into Chinese culture until watching your videos-and now I’m addicted. Also helps that you are so positive and curious!
Douzhi to beijinger is kind of like vegemite to Aussie, no one from outside the circle likes it ( in most cases) but no one from inside the circle can live without it. it is fascnating cultural thing of every culture.
That's what I was I was about to write: seems like the local nato / vegemite / [insert any Corsican cheese here]
@@miaouscleaumonocle lol what culture are you from my friend?
As Chinese i never eat it .
I was born in BeiJing and lived there for 23 years and never had the guts to try DouZhi, but this video really reminds me home.
Your neighbours are the sweetest 🥺
Oh, since last episode I kept thinking that I would love to see a video of you with your neighbors, and here it is!!!🥰 Very nice, Blondie ☺️
Show your subscribers your Chinese Passport and citizenship in your next video🎉😮
@@matpk you should show some class and manners.
@@j.p.blackcoyote Exactly the same question sprouted in my head, like wth was that ? Lols
This uncle rocks! He's such a foodie. Please do more videos with him.
I'm watching your videos in my office at work at the moment and all my colleagues are asking "what's wrong with you , why are you laughing so much😂😂😂" specially the part when you eating madoufu and huoshao with your neighbors, this is a really fun episode, it reminded me those fun moments when you eat with your parents in Sydney. Thank you Amy for creating this fun entertainment. I do hope to see them come more often in your future videos.
Your neighbors are so kind and funny!
Your parents and your neighbors need to meet. Video gold!
Your neighbours are like your parents away from home now, they are so hospitable and this is so wholesome, definitely create more content with them! LOL. As a 4th gen overseas Chinese myself I've never had douzhi before so I'm kind of curious how it tastes like, not sure if many Chinese people have ever had this before, since it doesn't seem too common outside of Beijing (speaking based on my past experiences of travelling to China), especially in the southern parts of the country where my ancestors were from and where I've only travelled to before.
It is true that Beijing food is not that popular or famous among the entire Chinese community. In my opinion if I had to pinpoint one that has gotten really popular in recent years it would probably be Sichuanese or Hunanese cuisine. (Though that's speaking purely from the standpoint as someone who is of Fujian/Guangdong descent, so Min/Yue cuisine has been around me all the time).
for most of chinese people haven't chance to BJ. i was on a business trip, so I've been to bj once but never tried these snacks. wandering a few of crowded tourist attractions a day, grab some food to eat. i remember eating in a sichuan style restaurant and western style in bj that day
I guess most people in China never heard of or never had Douzhi, only those who were born and lived in Beijing love it.
@@MrShou-nw7yv dude wtf there's literally ppl all the time at Tiananmen from all over the country for the flag raising ceremony every morning.
@@cdxiyo476 duh, no, most ppl know it we just don't like it, it's known for reducing heaty symptoms, now only old ppl like it. Mei LanFang loved it cause its good for your voice
@@manguanxu3612 bro, your sentence is literally confusing. it would be better put "all the time" at the end of the sentence. or put "all the time at tiananmen" at the end
Two things!
1) I have seen so many cooking videos that are titled something like "1.5 kg of beef enema" and never knew why. Thank you for clearing that up!
2) I will do anything to see a video of your dad and shushu (sp?) sharing some beers! What a delightful fellow
You should do more videos with these wonderful neighbors of yours! 😀💚❤️👍
远亲不如近邻, 有这么好的邻居真的是福气
I had a not so great day today, but this video made me laugh and feel a bit better. Love Uncle!
Your neighbours are the absolute cutest! I love how Shushu remembers so much about your videos, he's a true fan. Too cute, can't wait to see more videos with these two, this video was so wholesome!!
it's awesome you're so immersed with the local culture. you definitely get the authentic experience.
Loved this video, Amy ❤️. Being so far away from you and without any idea when we might see each other again, to see you have such kind and caring neighbours really warms my heart and gives me joy. I absolutely agree that uncle could give your dad some serious “dad joke” competition 😂😂. Miss you 😘
Your neighbours are so lovely, the gentleman comes over well as he has a certain way of talking that is engaging, but both of them seem so genuine and helpful. You will uncover a whole new layer of Beijing foods with them - some of which might make it to #1 and knock the donkey off the top spot 😄
Yay! Always happy to see a video by Amy! All of the foods look so delicious and is making me want to go to China immediately! Especially that Dalian Huoshao, that looks tasty! Thanks for showing us more of the local foods in China!
With your hair in pigtails you kinda look like their adoptive daughter lmao! Love your work can't wait to see your doco on SBS when it comes out!
I know your comment is from a while back but what? Amy made a doco and it’s on SBS?!! Is it out yet? Where can I find it?!!
Your neighbours are the cutest! I wanna see their reactions to western foods
wow the neighbors are so passionate about food. it's kinda adorabble.
Your neighbours are so friendly! Great video :)
I love your neighbors. They are such sweet, kind and genuine people. Its people like that, that give me a love of learning languages. I want to learn new languages so I can meet amazing people like them.
Sausage rolls are pretty popular in the U.S. and are frequently sold at doughnut shops for breakfast, but if we have them with any condiment it's usually yellow mustard. As a ketchup lover, now I'll have to try that with them next time.
Ketchup is not the best to go with, however it is common to dip sausages or hotdogs in ketchup in Australia, to cover up the strong lamb smell in pork downunder? I had lived in Australia for 10 years and had also been to San Francisco and NYC before, I realized that the pork in the US doesn't have funny lamb smell and there are so many variety of sauces there, nobody will choose ketchup for yummy sausage rolls as it will kill the taste instantly.
Curiouser and curiouser.
It is a pleasure opportunity to try traditional Chinese style cuisine with neighbors in Beijing.
Happy Mother's Day, Miss Amy.💖
Videos with your neighbors are great, amazing content as always, I wish that China open soon so I finally set up over there
You are so lucky to have such nice neighbors. Amy, I never thought I would see you react so negatively towards any food🤣 I'm pretty sure I will never try that if even Amy won't eat it.
Such a wonderful collaboration! The A-yi (auntie) is so warm and the Shu-shu (uncle) is very knowledgable and wants to share as much experience as he can with Amy~ That's just so heart-warming!! Next time can we have Beijinger (your lovely neighbours) trying Australian/western food as a food challenge?! that would be super fun to watch!
We need more of your wonderful Neighbours!! Take them on a Food Tour with you!
Great content! Hello from Brisbane☺️
Without those unscrupulous politicians and political interests, you can see that the people all over the world are the same, and the Chinese people are also very kind and lovely. We, China and Australia should be friendly from generation to generation!
I've been to Brisbane. It's a beautiful city.
I have been following your channel and it is wonderful that you have such wonderful neighbors and they care so much about you. I got a little emotional when they said you are like a daughter to them and that you are a great daughter saying that on zoom to your parents.
Hi Amy, I loved this video, too! Your new Auntie and Uncle neighbors in Beijing are a godsend! They are so charming and funny! Thanks for sharing them with us. :-)
your neighbors are true Beijing native. Super friendly and kind with no BS. Possibly only exist in the hutong nowadays.
OMG I love your neighbours !
Here my neighbours are mean spirited! They say Hi to my husband (he is English) but nobody talk to me (I’m French)or my daughter(mix) it’s been 6 y since we move to UK 🇬🇧 and completely isolated as we both suffer and struggle with invisible disabilities…. It’s really heartwarming to see how kind these people are!
I’m really enjoying it so yes I think including them in your video is a very nice idea! Meeting the locals and sharing their knowledge is a great way to go
Thank you 🙏🏼 it’s really cheered me up
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
You three are made for Beijing. Shushu(uncle) & Aiyi(aunty) are so friendly ＆funny. I grew up in Beijing. They are the typical Beijingness. The food made me home sick. Amy, thank you for all episodes you have done about China. Hope one day we can meet you in China. Keep well! God bless!
This is so wholesome. We need more of this in the world.
They are so sweet! Was laughing with you throughout the whole video. The uncle is hilarious!
Your neighbours seem so lovely! Definitely hope to see more of them and definitely more Beijing food! ^^
I miss Mom Dad and Sister!! This is a great video.......and your neighbors are so sweet!!!!
Your neighbours are the sweetest and the uncle is so humourous. I definitely chuckled a lot whilst watching this video. Hope you can make more videos with them! I also think your accent and pronunciation has improved a lot in this video!
I love the image of your neighbors binge watching all your videos, making notes of what they want to show you and what you like and dont! so sweet!
Amy is such a nice and kind person. She is so open to different culture. Not sure why but I feel Amy could be a chinese princess in her past life. She should be an Ambassador for China
I love your neighbor! you should do more videos with them.😀
7:05 “去火” LMAO,We cantonese people are all too familiar with this concept. No matter what discomfort you have, your parents will always tell you that it's because of "上火"
yeah, my parents are from Wenzhou and they always say that
i really like your taste in background music. just watched your last three videos in a row and the music is really good in them! and your neighbors are such nice people aww
I would definitely like to see more content with your neighbors, they are a sweet couple and funny.
I love the relationship that you have with your neighbors. It’s beautiful
I’m from Beijing and I haven’t been back for nearly three years due to the pandemic. This video makes me miss the Beijing snacks I've been eating since I was a kid. The uncle and aunt also remind me of my parents. Miss them and miss my hometown SO MUCH!! Thanks for creating such a sweet video! ❤️
Just wanted to say how much I love your videos and look forward to them! Really appreciate your down-to-earth attitude and openness in trying new foods :)
Wow, your Chinese is so, so fluent! Love your neighbors. They are so down to earth and friendly!
It's so funny that the local "guide" introduces food and bad jokes.
Such sweet neighbors and such a fun video! It would be fun to see them try some foods they’ve never had before if you can find anything.
ugh this video really made me miss Beijing. I left this February. I totally share your feelings about 豆汁 BUT!!! 麻豆腐 was instantly one of my fave chinese foods as soon as i tried. I always felt like it tasted like feta cheese
Love your neighbours. Such a warm and lovely couple. They are also so comfortable with the camera on. I vote for more video’s with the friendly neighbours!!!
Chinese said 家有一老 如有一宝, in your case being away from home and family, it’s great to have such good and friendly neighbors. Bet you that uncle is now among your biggest fans.
Amy's attitude toward life is so positive she is treated like a daughter by this Beijing couple. No matter where you are if you have the correct attitude you will certainly succeed.
邻居叔叔和阿姨都好可爱又热情. 期待你们三人下个美食之旅😊
You go all out for your audience! Can't imagine the taste of the fermented mung bean juice! My reaction to it could be similar to yours!!
In chinese, sausage and intestine is the same character 肠, because sausages are traditionally made with castings and do shape like intestines. 灌 is the motion of filing/stuffing, usually with liquid. 灌肠 in chinese means stuffed sausage, usually stuffed with some kind of carb and/or meat, but it can also mean ennema which is filing your intestines with water. If you run 灌肠 under machine translation, you'll definately get enema instead of stuffed sausages in english, lol~
These are very wholesome neighbours, best wishes to them!
That 够了够了真的 has literally made me laughing my ass off😂😂
Thanks a lot for bringing the the great video, the great food, and the great people to us!!! It’s also amazing to see that you have been talking like a 老北京 already!!
The Beijing accent is so naturally hilarious 😆
what lovely neighbours, great smiles and gentle sense of humour. Good to see you being looked after.
Amy, I loved this video with your neighbors. Please do more! I’m hoping China starts allowing tourist visas soon, as me and my buddy plan on going in a year or so if they do.
-greetings from Orlando, Florida
when you called him "uncle" , how sweet... what a killer way to connect with local people
Watching your interaction with your neighbor is very heartwarming. My coworker here tells me her messed up neighbor greets by calling her 'Elephant' every time she gets home from work....
Enjoyed the Beijing snack video tour. Your neighbors are great and UA-cam naturals.
Gonna use this for my own Chinese education for when I travel abroad!
you and your neighbours are a super good combi i totally love uncle being so knowledgeable and he has said the most beautiful thing a parent could hear about their daughter when he was addressing your parents there is a golden soul inside uncle and also aunt'y she is so sweet and caring and has a more outspoken classical taste qua cuisine and that helps us understand the aisian taste/palette better.
also uncle could talk to me for hours and il never get bored als those bits of knowledge the jokes the food he advises its awesome
You are always trying to be positive and non judgemental about any food, so it was really fun seeing you genuinelly express your hate on douzhi ahah
Loving the vibe of Uncle and aunty, Amy! You must make more regular videos with them, since I miss your mum and dad! 🥰
Wow . You are truly blessed to have such good neighbours 🙏 🙌
I can say your neighbour is absolutely pure local Beijing..! And as one of them, I like DouZhi quite a lot, so as my grandpa….but my dad can’t endure it🤣
The Beijing accent is just really funny like in a good way. Your neighbour sound so Beijing and the way they speak is like super stereotypical beijing way of speaking and i cant stop laughing cause they are really humourous
Your neighbours are soooo great! I’m loving your hutong life content.
I just saw this after the latest one. Your neighbours are amazing. Hope to see more of them in future videos.
god i love the beijing accent it's so homey, ur neighbours are so lovely
Yes! Was hoping to see another with your cool neighbors. Great video!
Amazing video, Blondie, as always! It’s just amazing how a good food guide can change everything! Moving to the hutongs was a really good idea!
Uncle is so funny 😂
Very down-to-earth vibe to this episode, good stuff!
Legend has it, douzhi brings back some people from a years-long coma
Your neighbours are such lovely people!!
What lovely people 🥰
Watching this video while I am eating. It just like adding MSG to my food. Love it. Liked!
This was so entertaining on so many levels! A follow-up vlog with them is a must!
I feel like I can say this because I'm Chinese. When they brought out the madoufu, I was beside myself. Wow. Kudos to you for always being willing to try something! The things you do for your channel!
Wow very insightful video! I've been to Beijing but after watching this I feel like I missed out on the true local food experience. Also, great dynamics with your neighbors. Hope to see more collab videos with them! Cheers✌
More of your neighbors please, they are great!
This is so great. How lucky to have such beautiful neighbours!
