I appreciate it.
I'm an American who has lived in China for the last 8 years. It's quite nice to see your fresh perspective. I'm not really a fan of Beijing... There are much better cities to visit in China.
Edit: 北京人，别伤心。 这只是我个人的看法。 你们的城市是中国的首都。 很厉害。
yes, normally, people like Shanghai
@@mangcike yeah, Shanghai is a better version of new York.. Beijing has a lot more culture than Shanghai. For foreigners that is not into culture.. Shanghai is a better fit.
Totally agree. Looks like someone is an expert in China here😆
I agree with you as chinese
Because Beijing doesn’t have much western influence, Shanghai was occupied by the west before. It’s like white people going to Bali and said they love it, deep down it’s because it’s more westernized to fit their taste, not because they love Indonesian culture
You’ve had some very authentic Beijing people’s foods this evening, Sly. I’m so envious!
8:24 this is one of the things I love about this city. All the secret, hidden shops and eating places
I saw somewhere that mentioned “door nail dumpling” is a delicacy of Beijing. Its name derived from the the ancient emperor’s door that has those bronze studs on their main door as a symbol of status and power. The shape of the dumpling looks like those door studs/nail
I bet most foreigners have no idea what "doornail" looks like
“门钉肉饼”。
i think hes saying doorknob
You're the only foreigner loving chilli oil so much I've seen 😅 if you like spicy food, don't miss the REAL Sichuan dishes in China, especially HUO GUO(Sichuan Hotpot), you may fall in love with it.
you should collab with Blondie in China!
Wrong , real spicy in hunan , hubei province, even yunnan province, Sichuan or Chongqing are MA
@@weizhang2834 大哥，你觉得外国人懂，还是我不懂？
@@datdwight3868 劣币驱逐良币时代，你所心心念念的那4/5早不为人所知或者广为流传了。
这个不辣😆
Surprised me you went to the core historical area with lots of Hutongs, those old Hutongs are protected by the local laws. Beijing also has some great museums if you're interested.
你这名字取的…😅
Hi Sly, second day watching your video. you are specialist in recording streets life in China. one advice, normally we Chinese mixed the spice with vinegar, and then dip the dumplings into it rather than directly paste the spice on dumplings. hope you enjoy the life in my hometown.
I think it’s good both ways. Sometimes I want just the spice haha
You're a huge inspiration for me as another brother from 🇺🇸 to travel to China. Ive seriously been wanting to come more because of you. Ive told my best friend about your videos
You should visit China soon before all the new infrastructure becomes old infrastructure 😂
Omg the doornail meatpie is on one of my wishlist after amy blondie vlogger posted it! Those meat juice made me salivate!
I've had Peking duck in other countries, but the Beijing original is definitely the best
只有在北京才能吃到正宗的北京烤鸭，鸭子的品种，饲养方法和烤制方法是北京特有的。
Another amazing video, thanks for taking us with you!
First and foremost, I want to thank the guide for showing you around and giving you the best of traditional Chinese cuisines while I am made to watch and salivate.
Secondly, Chinese noodles seem a bit bigger than then Indonesian ones from the look of things. The noodles we have in my country are originally of Indonesian.
Thirdly, I like the way people gather and enjoy night walk on the streets of Beijing .
On the final note, I know there is lot to China than meet the eyes.
Please, keep the video coming.
Thank you very much, sir.
the places the guide took him is traaaash bro, no body goes there frfr, talking from a beijinger who grow up there and lived there for more than 20 years
@@nataliebond8486 It is traditionally okay to me. I know that is not the modern section of the city but that area has something to offer that I admire.
@@youme1414 I grow up in Beijing, and the inner city. Especially areas around nanluo, where my schools are. It’s definitely not traditional where there’s banana and chocolate in dumplings.
@@nataliebond8486 Okay. Which area of the city can one get authentic traditional Chinese cuisines?
Thank you, sir.
@@youme1414 it’s not about area, it’s about which restaurant. 我爷爷小时候就总去东四胡同附近吃炸灌肠，具体的店名记不住了，but in Beijing I can say for sure that there’s no such thing as fried choco banana dumplings.
Is this guy your friend? He knows how to eat very well. All the food you have eaten is the most historical and popular in Beijing, and those restaurants are the most popular. 😆
Just find the overweight guy 😂
I love your travel series! One of my favorite street foods in Beijing, besides the ubiquitous chuar 串 (grilled food on sticks) is shouzhuabing 手抓饼 a wonderful crispy pancake that often serves as a wrap for all kinds of fillings. On Beijing Language & Culture University campus there was one that had duck meat and veggies. I had some in Shanghai that had bacon and hoisin sauce. There was one not far from Donghua University that serves shouzhuabing with fried chicken and hot sauce. Holy cow of all the amazing food I ate when I was in China for a year, I miss shouzhuabing like crazy. There's also a tremendous restaurant in Beijing that we would go to once a month that served dongbei (northeastern) cuisine while doing floor shows as entertainment for the guests. It was fantastic.
This is how you it. I like your unbiased way of getting to know a place, unlike the usual Western “ high horse” view point that permeates the media. How do you get the guide? Let him introduce you to the locals and you will know more of this place.
I like hearing people say this place is a dirty sh!th0le
Beijing is a very historic city which is full with chinese culture .It is a bit difficult for a fresh foreigner in it quickly. You are in the "hutong" area , it is quite challenge. Perhaps go to visit forbidden city ,get some idea of it 😀
the locals know it! you would never find these good places on a travel guide.
Thank you for sharing. I'm glad to see you gradually integrating into local life. It is well known that Beijing is a food desert!😝Please promise me that you will experience life in other cities.
然而并不是，所谓的美食沙漠是指北京本地美食少，然而北京拥有最多的各地美食，像是川菜鲁菜豫菜宫廷菜粤菜等，而且都非常的地道，因为这是首都。
@@xiuChang yes，I agree with you，BJ people can eat every kind of food in the world
伦敦也有各地美食，也不耽误它是美食荒漠。关键得看有没有能拿的出手的，百吃不厌，物美价廉的小吃，菜品。
@@user-july6 借用抖音上的梗，总是有人说韩国没啥好吃的，这我就不认同了，这么大的国家，不是有中餐馆吗。
@@user-july6 伦敦的美食不是英国的，北京的美食至少是中国的。
I want to move to China these videos are awesome, safe travels
I am glad that you have a local guide who speaks some English. It is so much better to have someone who knows exactly where to go for food and other sightseeing, especially for a newcomer like you. Are you in Beijing for pleasure or work?
Nice to see you have a guide an who can make checking things out more interesting. More helpful and provide more knowledge and cultural awareness than just aimless wandering. Looking great.
The dumpling restraunt looks quite nice . Quite local style.
Appreciate you sharing your experience, this was great, loving the adventure.
Enjoyed video, thank you!
China sweet standerd is far from US, In China super sweet is normal sweet in US
Thnx good video
Food in China isn't just one thing. Saying something is Chinese food is like saying something is European food. It's such a huge country with diverse food cultures that you'll have totally different experiences depending on where you go. Of course in this day and age, you can sample cuisine from different areas of China in a city as large as Beijing, but the food culture is really quite different.
There’s a lot more different food in China than europe to be honest
@@micholitzia5726 yeah I agree
Oh man, u made me hungry. 🤣🤣
Looks yummy. My god, i want some. 🤣🤣
Sending u Blessing from Indonesia ❤️
Good video sir.
These food look very good, I really hope to visit Beijing, China someday.
The bing looks really good.
Never heard of 'door nail meat pie' before...looks like a beef bing to me. Don't let those juices drip away...that's the best bit!
4:00 Meng Ding Rou Bing (Door Nail Meat Pie) because it shapes like the golden color door nails on the gate of the Forbidden City.
That's soooo amazing! The tortilla -like sides! Makes me happy to see something kinda reminiscent to my culture. I really wish I could go to China.
China is on my list to visit. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks bro
Great
That's a very good tour, good and authentic food.
Can you put your tour guides information in the link. Some of us plan to visit China one day and i would pay him for the same tour
Food isn’t more spicy in the south but in the west part of China like Sichuan and Guizhou province where the climate is more moist. Southern part of China like Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong we don’t really eat spicy food very much. 😅
Usually with Beijing, it's shock and awe skyscrapers and mile wide roads so it's a relief to see this video showing the city on a more human scale.
There are so many aspects and landscape to China, lots of them are spectacular.
@@Placidzzz sorry no
Because he travelled hutong area
the skyscrapers are usually in the CBD areas outside the city centre (at least in Beijing). He is in the downtown core. most of the buildings you see are protected heritage buildings from the old days. A house in that area starts from a few million dollars, and would be much higher if they didn't put restrictions on buying and selling them. So ironically, most of the working class actually live in those skyscrapers outside the city core
haha " mile wide roads ", this is so true.
You never seen the Disney movie Mulan? She had the cricket pet for good luck and it was given to her by her grandmother.
Beijing looks cool... looks like they've dealt with the old pollution problem 👍👍
How nice for this local to show you around 👏 😀
They haven't dealt with it they get air pollution alerts regularly. It's possible they've slowed down since global trade has slowed down hence less activity in their factories.
That noodle is call Black Bean Paste Noodle I think that is the one Marco Polo like and how Pasta was born.
Wrapped utensils are from outside washing company not washed inside restaurant
the thin pancakes you ate with the duck meat is called "chun bing" its thinner than tortillas and is made with wheat and usually steamed.
Sly, I LOVE these eating videos! Thank You!
I like that your guide took you to the smaller, more hidden, places...they don't usually last too long, so you need someone really local to keep track of which ones are good....imo.
Every house in the HuDong worth $4 millions at least.
A neighbour sold one of her houses in Beijing, bought a house with ocean view in Sydney, cash.
The price of a siheyuan varies from $5 million to $100 million
Thank you for your video men 😁👍🏽
You can find it in Flushing, NY, or Monterey Park, CA (some food)
One of the best features of Chinese food is that there is no concept of Chinese food.
Some would like schezcheuan food, some like Cantonese. But nobody would say they like Chinese food cuz they are all so diversified and so different.
Great channel! Watched our last couple of videos and I am now a subscriber. You find out the name of that translation app yet?
Those meat pies look yum! Happy that you are viewing with an open mind! I hope you enjoy your time in the places you visit!
These are the real life of normal local Beijing people. Thanks for sharing! Talk with more young people and you can get more suggestions about where to visit and where to eat the best cheap and tasteful local food of Beijing. More young people can communicate with you in English.
Hey slys life, great video.
Nice vlog shouout good food tour❤
9:52 bro mad funny
Have you tried Beijing Hot Pot yet? You hit some great places. The Hutong area and Summer Palace are really fun. If you can see the ruins of the old Summer Palace. It is historically important to the Chinese. Enjoying your videos.
great video
Hi Sly .. did you manage to download the payment apps ? If yes, did they work ?
Thank you 😊😊😊😊
Great job, Sly. Safe travels.
I remember when I first landed in Beijing by myself. I got off the plane and looked for a restaurant first thing because I was hungry. I had hotpot for the first time. I didn't know what it was and that it was Beijing hotpot. It was an adventure.
Ohhh I miss China and the food!!
Strongly recommend you watch the masterpiece movie the Last Emperor (won 9 Oscars) while you’re in Beijing, and you’ll start to appreciate the city more. There is an anecdote of a cricket in it - just watch the ending.
Recently, ZiBo BbQ is very popular and the price is very nice.
You visited some spots that I don't even know they exist. Good for you!
Welcome to China. Hope you have a great stay here!
If you come to Shenzhen，I can show you around the city.
Are you a native to china?
Chocolate and banana dumplings? I'm pretty sure they are not the most authentic but I can imagine how good they are.
Every time I visit a country.. I will always try its street food..they're the best!!!
Did you have any crayfish? You mentioned it, but I didn't see any...that can be really quite spicy, and a challenge for many.
You should also tell us the prices of these foods you tried.
They are not expensive, especially those street food. 5 bucks or 10 max each order I would say
@@rogerw830 craw fish is not cheap at all. at the moment, it will cost at least 200 bucks for two people to have two plates of craw fish.
Man you just started your food tour in the "food desert" of China. Beijing has a few good options but if you really want to put your food experience in perspective, you've got to go outside Beijing. Guess a humble start helps keeping the hopes high though :) Have a wonderful time in China!
北京还好啦！ 全国食物都有，当然没有一样特别精。😂😂
确实，想体验正宗的华北美食，毗邻的天津都比北京强几个档次。现在北京的口味很杂（南来北往），吃过地道的北京小吃，没特别深的印象。
@@AmelieZh 北京传统是鲁菜菜系，北京过去有名的八大楼都是鲁菜厨子开的.....
5:35 LMAOO ohh I know what he mean
5:56 LOL he was saying "doorknob" LMAO. Door nail LOL.
Hey Sly, my travel agent in Beijing can show you an authentic Beijing tour...a lot of fan, more interesting and doesn't cost much..
Go to Shanghai, Xuzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Chongqing, u will be surprised the food difference 😂😂😂😂, you may just decided to stay and live in China.
Enjoy!
maybe you need a better guide/translator🤣, good video! my mouth is watering.
Another amazing vid!
Chocolate and banana filling…that’s original😊. Personally I like to dip my dumplings in diluted vinegar spiced with hot sauce
it's called：甜面酱
A couple blocks from here is where I went to high school seven years ago... Seeing these does bring back a lot of memories for sure.
Hi Sly, @5:30, I think he said “door knob”, as in the shape of the meat pie.
No, it's doornail, like this gilden round nails on the palace doors: www.google.com.hk/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fk.sinaimg.cn%2Fn%2Fsinacn16%2F222%2Fw640h382%2F20180809%2Fd56b-hhnunsq1267856.jpg%2Fw700d1q75cms.jpg%3Fby%3Dcms_fixed_width&tbnid=dOB8Gc5tBQvCnM&vet=1&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fk.sina.com.cn%2Farticle_6433514478_17f77a3ee001009kz5.html&docid=f9xOGt2g7AgBbM&w=640&h=382&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim
I think you like spicy food. You should visit Chengdu.
The grasshopper crickets the sounds of nature in your urban home. I think it's also Goodluck.
Spicy sauce on jiaozi? Weird...vinegar, yes. Fired ones are like you get in Shanghai - Beijing ones are boiled and only slightly fried (if you're lucky).
Did you say 'chocolate and banana'??? They were having you on...
BTW, they're absolutely nothing like 'dumplings' as known in the UK. Baozi - the ones in thicker dough, not the skinny ones from southern China - are more like a dumpling as we know it.
Yea Peking ducks is acuisine foreigners gotta taste when pay visit to beijing. Your guidance does look like a gourmet or 'insider' of beijing delicacies lol
Glad to see someone on a tour that isnt shilling or hating. Im sure rural and city areas are vastly different. What i find weird is, what in the world do people do for work in such populated cities? It doesnt seem like wages are very high in Beijing either for most people so its a curious thing how expensive properties are. I understand there is no property tax, which is definitely not a good idea because property prices endlessly rise
Beijing's hutongs are only a very small part of Beijing; most of the city's people and economic activities are not located there.
I have traveled all over China, lived there for 2 years to be the best is Shandong Cuisine. Shandong the first place in China I found a lot of Chinese that didn't like or eat rice. Love Shandong Style Doushabao (Steamed Wheat Buns Filled with Sweet Bean Paste). Where ever you go in China get what the locals are know for. Like you are doing and you have the best Chinese food you ever had.
Naahh, we Cantonese have the best Chinese cuisine. 😂 unbeatable.
@@Zergcerebrates I lived in Zhongshan in Guangdong know all about Cantonese cuisine and yes it good. Being American from the Texas, Shandong to me felt more like home with Beef and wheat. Maybe that why I like Shandong the best. South China when you got beef most of the time it was water buffalo. I like going to Macau to get what they call the Fusion cuisine a blend of Portuguese and Cantonese. Love the food in Qingyuan the Qingyuan pork I felt I was home in the US. Cantonese cuisine is known to cook anything that moves, did love the Cantonese Pigeon and sticky rice. Everything I had in China was good except the sea cucumber could not stand them.
"食在广州"是全国有名的，而且它的口味适合全世界所有人
@@baileyshirleen37 不要太武断了，一方水土养育一方人，各个地方的饮食都具有不同的特色，粤菜讲究的是生猛，也就是突出食材的原味，这是他的特点，比较符合当地人的口味。真正的的美食，是那些久远的经过年代考验的百吃不腻的食物，比如甘肃青海的牛肉面，甚至新疆的馕饼配烤肉。也许我说的这些你不能够理解，因为南方人的嗓子只接受米饭接受不了面食😄
@@jtr789310 lol whuuuut, sea cucumbers are yummy. I like the softness and the gelatinous of it. I need to try Shandong food I'm sure there's one in Southern California. I might have eaten some dishes from there but probably wasn't aware it's Shandong.
Haha fun to see this newcomer videos. I live in Shanghai since 2014 and loving it. The duck with wrap in the end is great. Try Yunnan and Hunan food. They say its expats favourites food.
You've outdone yourself with these videos from China. Very interesting stuff.
if you have a sweet tooth, China is not great. the best compliment a Chinese person can give to a dessert is "it's not sweet" 😂 FYI, garlic turns blue/green after a few days when pickled in vinegar if you are still wondering why it's that color. and pan-fried dumplings are called pot stickers
Whereas our compliments about Western desserts are such as: the cookies or cake is not sweet. It's tasty.
各种视频里都能看到你 哈哈
The desert in the USA are too much sugar, not healthy at all
哈哈哈，就算在爱吃甜的江浙沪一带，甜点心也不会做的很甜😂
You are deep diving to Beijing local life. You know, even as Chinese ourselves, we usually won't visit those places in your video when we visit or tour Beijing.
There is a place in Beijing that serves stinky soy bean milk. You should try it. It's a rite of passage for foreigners in Beijing.
No no, i kid, but locals love that joint.
Nice one
我在北京，告诉我你的坐标，我请你吃饭朋友！我住朝阳区
他看不懂中文呀，你用英文留言
@@leeming2781 有自动翻译,可以看懂的.
算了，别自作多情了，米国80%的人对中国人不友好，我身边的人都被攻击过，挑衅过
Wow,I was born in Beijing and lived there for 40 years, I have never even been to that old area of Beijing city. It’s interesting!
Enjoy the adventure, there's a lifetime of new things to discover. It much more safer there than walking in any US cities these day.
This is good content. How much did you pay to hire the tour guide?
