It is pity that nobody natives are accompanying you guys around - because you guys haven’t tasted 1% of the Shanghai food. There’re plenty small local food stalls in the alleyways that serve cheap and authentic Shanghai cuisines or snacks. Being in China first time is hard for the foreigners to understand the vast variety of Chinese cuisines.
@@cloudzhang9533 I think the menu will be a challenge for the tourists who don’t know the language, specially translating some dishes in the Chinese name is scary 😂. For example hairy crabs (大闸蟹）, beggar’s chick （叫花鸡）, three yellow chicken （三黄鸡）, chick duck blood soup (鸡鸭血汤）, foot wrapping pancake (包脚布）, Field Chick （田鸡）(aka frog 🐸!!!!!!) and Lion Head meatballs （狮子头） etc. Btw anyone translates 童子鸡 for me - the worst I have seen is “Chicken not have sexual activity” or the best “virgin Chicken” 😂.
This dumpling is actually called “crab Huang“ soup dumpling, which contains crab meat and crab roe. Whether you like it or not depends on whether you like to eat hairy crabs😋😋😋
The chinese pancake called jiang xiang bing .You can find it in any city of China,local people also love it a lot !The topping sauce in Jiangxiangbing made Made from ingredients such as onions, scallions, sesame, etc., it is very fragrant！❤🎉😂
that camera on that cashier's computer is to scan your QR code for payment. That chicken you got at the end is actually a cold dish so it was supposed to be that temperature. The tingly sensation comes from oil infused with sichuan peppers. If you don't like that taste, perhaps avoid sichuan in a future trip. But do try the north of China, very different food, not too spicy, not too sweet.
Ohhh.. dongbei food. Criminally under represented in the west. Jian bing guo zi is the best. Hands down. Di san xian. Sooo good. Cannot have enough jiao zi.
I am Chinese and I can eat spicy food, but I too do not enjoy the "tingly, numbing" sensation that you get from Sichuan food. Basically, Mala, or 麻辣，is not for me. I like spicy, but the 麻 part literally means "numbing". Personally I want to taste all my food, so the last thing I want to do is to have my tongue and palate numbed before I enjoy my meal. That that's just me. If you travel around China, 麻辣 is super popular everywhere you go. So I can only assume that lots and lots of people love to have their tongue numbed while eating, haha.
28:00 green mochi is called "Ching Tuan". that food shop/restaurant is well known, located on the famous Nanjing Road at the heart of Shanghai. I went to that restaurant eeverytime I visited Shanghai.
Hi Steve & Ivana, I know both of you are seasoned travelers and very good at food vlogs. My opinion is that it'll be much better if you were to get a local food guide in Shanghai (or most of China at least for the first day or so as) it will enable you to understand the country better especially on the cultural aspects and also the way certain food must be eaten. It would have added extra quality ro the already impressive content you've been putting out.
I think their problem is they have no intention of learning even just the basic local language, it won't take long time to grab some words about price and numbers. Not just throw out English to everyone in NON anglo-saxon countries, although many young people can speak English in China. I am surprised that they are Canadians, they behaviour like rude old style of American tourists
@@y.w.79 It's good to experience what people eat daily, and it's also good to understand how to eat it and why it's served in a certain way. For example how to eat soup dumplings, and why the chicken is not served hot, or "who comes to a basketball game to eat a piece of bread?". Having someone guide you through it instead of approaching it through a western perspective is incredibly useful and confidence building. If you're in Shanghai, you're missing out if you don't know where to get the food that represents the culture of the city. You can find generic almost anywhere.
21:49 that’s a type of pickled vegetable very common in the south. We often cook it with pork or fish, it add flavor and umami to the meat, especially the aroma
Hi Ivana and Steve! Love your Chinese travel videos A LOT!! I hope to translate one part for you for that fried chicken/ potato clip, the cashier was asking you to scan to pay for the 2 combo meals ^^ She definitely did not mean to have you two look into any camera or anything lol! have fun in China!!
8:08 that's pickled mustard, my favourite. btw, that's Braised Beef Noodle with Pickled Mustard that you ordered. 21:33 Ivana's is Braised Pork Belly with preserved /dried Chinese mustard 33:01 that's Borscht soup. 37:29 all i can say is >>> the portion is HUGE!!!!! i definitely can't finish one bowl by myself. gosh...
If you are interested in learning about China's progress and history, please provide some travel advice: If you want to explore 3,000 years of history, go to Xi'an. If you want to explore 1,000 years of history, go to Beijing. If you want to explore 100 years of China from colonization to modernization, you can go to Shanghai. If you want to see a city plan built on a mountain with modern infrastructure. For the dream city built in 40 years, let's go to Chongqing. If you want to see the future, go to Shenzhen. This is a very rough and comprehensive statement. If we continue to add the different natural landscapes and biomes provided by China, the list will be endless, because China is very large, with too many beautiful places and many beautiful cities and natural landscapes. What is the best of all this? No matter where you go in China, as long as it is where people live, you are absolutely safe! You are free to explore! China is safe 24 hours a day, bars and various entertainment venues are open 24 hours a day, and restaurants are open 24 hours a day! Don't worry about being shot🇨🇳
In fact, I want to say that the really delicious food is hidden in the alley. In a highly international city like Shanghai, many foods have lost their traditional characteristics. Chinese people won‘t even buy it. The best way is to ask the locals for advice, but it may be a little difficult for foreigners.
What you had from the street food verndor right there at the beginning was a "cong you bing", or Scallion Pancake. It is a very common food used for snacks or breakfast. Deep fried, and very tasty. You can ask for Scallion Pancake in any Chinatown when you get home and you should get something pretty similar to this item.
It’s hard to imagine how many videos would be produced if you went to other cities famous for Chinese food.Most Chinese people comment that there are too few types of food in Shanghai.
At 39:50 at the beef noodle place, what you ate was "hong shao niu rou xiao mian" which literally translates to "red roasted beef small noodles". I think the small noodles actually refers to the noodles being thin noodles. As I was watching this street food video, I was actually doing my best to read the menu for you guys, because I can read chinese characters, but sometimes because you didn't get a good view of the menu, I wasn't able to make out what it was. I've been to Shanghai and Suzhou like over 20 years ago, and if the menu being all in chinese characters stumps you, with most of the people not being able to speak English, then can you imagine how it was more than 20 years ago? It seems to me like you had an easier time, because at least now I can see like that lady who stopped to help you order at the pork lunchbox place, she was able to speak English and help with some translation. Over 20 years ago, if I wasn't able to speak and read Mandarin, no one would have stopped to help me, because in China, it's really all in Mandarin., or what they call "pu tong hua" (literal translation: "ordinary language"). As a Singaporean, it was a culture shock to me, because in Singapore, we mix languages when we speak, so even if we're speaking in Mandarin, we mix in some English words and it's still understood here. But if I were to mix in English words when speaking Mandarin in China, they would look at me clueless and still not be able to understand what I'm trying to say.
If you guys love food and authenticity, Chongqing and Chengdu are the best cities to visit. The culture is rich, the food is out of this world ❤😍Both are in same region, both are open for 144 free visa. 😘
You get the best food in Shanghai. You can get different food from different regions of China there, also some French influence. They are also mixed together to create new food.
Yay! Another JetFam video! There is a Chinese saying “民以食为天”, pronounced as minyishiweitian, that means "Foods are the most important to People (in China)", so Chinese food are great. Btw, will you guys go to Guangdong Shenzhen (a more modern city) after visiting another country? Or Gulin Guangxi for a more rural China? (lots of famous China scenes there, but a bit difficult to explore for foreigners). Either way, I think you'd like it! I am happy to help with any questions! ❤ From Hong Kong.
hahaha Shenzhen (a more modern city？？？） Vs China TOP1 Shanghai？ The funniest joke in 2023。 hahahahahaha our kid，your city not even the top three. BeiJing？
OMG, as a Chinese person, chillin' at my place in Beijing watching your vids, you totally made me order some sauce-flavored pancakes and chive buns delivery.
In China, everyone is a mobile phone payment, either his machine scans your payment code, or your wechat or Alipay scan code merchants two-dimensional code payment, 31:51 merchants let you show the payment code, and then to the merchant's machine, that is the automatic scanning code machine
The foods in this video look incredibly delicious! It's great to see you all enjoying yourselves in Shanghai. Plus. At 22:00 how lucky that you guys just have walked into a stall that was even featured in the cuisine documentary 'A Bite of China'! 😋
the 5 star one is called rib & rice cake (actually pork chop not rib). the soup is the Chinese version of borsch, in which they use cabbage instead of beetroot
Thank you to visit China as a really true experience as a visitor without any other special plan, so that people can know and see the real China, most of things are good, somethings are bad. I got an Canada Visa last week and want to visit Canada.
22:00 the dark coloured veggie was a dried veggie very popular in Shanghai and surrounding areas called 梅干菜, and usually cooked with pork belly to be a famous Shanghai dish 梅菜扣肉😊
33:06 that is the domestic version of the Slavic borscht soup legend goes that some nobles of the Russian enpire fled to Shanghai after the revolution and brought with them the traditional recipe of borscht. Yet due to the lack of beet root in China it was swapped for tomato for the red color. Also due to the hardship back then, large chunks of beef were replaced by Chinese sausages. Eventually end up in something that is completely different from the authentic borscht.
I’m a Chinese working in Shanghai, and I have also seen many foreigners travelling in Shanghai.If any foreigner wants to visit Shanghai and needs any help or Introduction to tourism, you can contact me and I will support you for free! I hope more foreigners will come to China for a nice journey!
I lived in Shanghai for several years, and I'm afraid that local people don't eat the soup buns 😂 They would prefer small ones with more meat but less soup.
And the green dessert, I guess it's not matcha but only colored with leaves. It's kind of a traditional local snack for the spring around the lower Yangtze River delta.
Love watching this wonderful epic length food video. And also love the way you both present the tastiness and uniqueness of the food/snacks you tasted/enjoyed. Those chefs did an amazing job preparing, cooking and presenting them. Great video ! Great commentary. Kudos to you both, Steve lvana.
Take you friend to vacation in Shunan Bamboo Sea and xi chuan Bamboo Sea in Sichuan, China. The scenery there is the most unique with Chinese characteristics.
My Canadian buddy, it should be pronounced as “Worstershire”, just ignore the letter c and e, it’s a place’s name in England, British brought this sauce to Hong Kong (for cooked beef) century ago and mainland Chinese had modified the taste a bit to fit the local flavour. The original taste is sort of sour and a bit salty for steak, beef, or borscht soup.
Even though the claims are that it is created from Lea/Perrins of Worcester England. It is highly likely it originated from East Asia in reality. If you look at the facts of all over East Asia there are similar sauces that had been since antiquity, at least hundreds of years. If you look at the key ingredients and spices, they are primarily from Asia. If you look at process of making this sauce, it uses a fermentation process that is uniquely Asian in ancient times. It becomes evident if you think about the ingredients, the process and the areas where there are lots of sauces that have similar taste profiles and processes but have been there since antiquity. Then you have a one off in England and a the broad area, where nothing else comes close in processes and taste profiles. Another food for thought is Ketchup, this condiment likely came from the area of Guangdong China or somewhere in that vicinity.
21:50, the veggie you're eating is 梅菜 or 梅干菜（Meicai or Meigancai) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meigan_cai. Meicai kourou(Braised Pork Belly with Meigan Cai) is one of the most well known dished in China. My mouth was watering when I watched you eat it.
I recommend your next city Shenzhen, super modern/convenient/future city, this city will bring you a lot of viewers; However, people are kind of tired to see Beijing
man, it's the best neighborhood in Shanghai where you guys are visiting. Try the lamb skewer on the corner of ZheJiang Road and Guangdong Road.(called 新疆烤肉串). The best since 1980s, 2013 was the last time I went back, they were still there. Try it.
It’s Sichuan pepper corn that gives you the numbing tingling sensation, it’s not something from Shanghai, but a Sichuanese spicy from a place called Sichuan. It’s been popular all over China nowadays.
China today produces over 70% of the world's tomato paste so ketchup from anywhere is probably from Chinese tomatoes regardless if it's Heinz, French's, No Name or tomato sauces from Catelli's, Classico or Primo !
Chinese ketchup? Well, Ketchup actually originated from China. The name 'ketchup' is a dialect word from some part of China that I don't really know where.
If you come to China again next time, I recommend you to go to Chengdu. Although many foreigners prefer Shanghai at the first stop, as a China person, I think Chengdu is more suitable for sightseeing.
At 32:19 at the pork lunchbox store, it wasn't a camera she wanted you to look into, that was a QR code scanner probably used to make payment via electronic means. In Chinese cities, most people don't pay by cash anymore. Everything is by electronic payment, so if you pay by cash, they can tell you aren't local. Even street buskers accept payment via electronic means, and hawkers do too. China has the benefit of not having a legacy of past means of payment, so it's like they went straight to adopting the latest means of electronic payment right away. And because they don't have a legacy of having a lot of petrol-fuelled cars like most of the world does, you can see a lot of electric vehicles there. 'Cos it's like most of the regular folks went straight from bicycles and scooters/motorcycles to driving electric cars and skipped on the whole petrol-fuelled car era. Also, you probably see a lot of local car brands that are unknown outside of China, because it's probably more affordable to drive a locally made car, instead of a foreign brand imported car, if those are even available in the country.
The dumpling you drank with a straw, in Mandarin it's called "tang bao", which means "soup bun", so I guess it's not supposed to have meat in it, just soup.
Wait, did Luckin refuse you to pay in cash? It's illegal because all merchants are required to accept cash by policy in order to make life easier for seniors. They should be reported if they did refused.
Thanks for watching

This dumpling is actually called “crab Huang“ soup dumpling, which contains crab meat and crab roe. Whether you like it or not depends on whether you like to eat hairy crabs😋😋😋
Actually it is not roe (eggs). It is crab red (solid fat) and crab yellow (semi solid fat). My most favorite dumpling and noodle.
take you politic somewhere else. this about travel and enjoy life in different countries and cultures. Don’t ruin it with your stupid comments

that camera on that cashier's computer is to scan your QR code for payment. That chicken you got at the end is actually a cold dish so it was supposed to be that temperature. The tingly sensation comes from oil infused with sichuan peppers. If you don't like that taste, perhaps avoid sichuan in a future trip.

A lot of this is what people eat on a daily basis. You don't have to try out always the most representative / posh dishes.
@@y.w.79 It's good to experience what people eat daily, and it's also good to understand how to eat it and why it's served in a certain way.

Love watching this wonderful epic length food video. And also love the way you both present the tastiness and uniqueness of the food/snacks you tasted/enjoyed. Those chefs did an amazing job preparing, cooking and presenting them. Great video ! Great commentary. Kudos to you both, Steve lvana.
Take you friend to vacation in Shunan Bamboo Sea and xi chuan Bamboo Sea in Sichuan, China. The scenery there is the most unique with Chinese characteristics.
My Canadian buddy, it should be pronounced as “Worstershire”, just ignore the letter c and e, it’s a place’s name in England, British brought this sauce to Hong Kong (for cooked beef) century ago and mainland Chinese had modified the taste a bit to fit the local flavour. The original taste is sort of sour and a bit salty for steak, beef, or borscht soup.
Even though the claims are that it is created from Lea/Perrins of Worcester England. It is highly likely it originated from East Asia in reality. If you look at the facts of all over East Asia there are similar sauces that had been since antiquity, at least hundreds of years. If you look at the key ingredients and spices, they are primarily from Asia. If you look at process of making this sauce, it uses a fermentation process that is uniquely Asian in ancient times. It becomes evident if you think about the ingredients, the process and the areas where there are lots of sauces that have similar taste profiles and processes but have been there since antiquity. Then you have a one off in England and a the broad area, where nothing else comes close in processes and taste profiles. Another food for thought is Ketchup, this condiment likely came from the area of Guangdong China or somewhere in that vicinity.
The restaurants in shopping malls usually don't have the own restrooms, so you have to walk a long way to PP.
Time to eat some proper Chinese food instead of just street food guys!
21:50, the veggie you're eating is 梅菜 or 梅干菜（Meicai or Meigancai) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meigan_cai. Meicai kourou(Braised Pork Belly with Meigan Cai) is one of the most well known dished in China. My mouth was watering when I watched you eat it.
I recommend your next city Shenzhen, super modern/convenient/future city, this city will bring you a lot of viewers; However, people are kind of tired to see Beijing
man, it's the best neighborhood in Shanghai where you guys are visiting. Try the lamb skewer on the corner of ZheJiang Road and Guangdong Road.(called 新疆烤肉串). The best since 1980s, 2013 was the last time I went back, they were still there. Try it.
It’s Sichuan pepper corn that gives you the numbing tingling sensation, it’s not something from Shanghai, but a Sichuanese spicy from a place called Sichuan. It’s been popular all over China nowadays.
尝试得太少，欢迎下次再来🎉
The numbing is the "ma" in "mala", where "la" is hot spicy. It's due to Sichuan peppercorn, which adds a floral taste and numbing sensation.
😂😂你吃酱饼上瘾了
我也很喜欢酱香饼🤤
有趣的是，買牛肉面的時候，雖然雙方語言不通，但是卻又可以溝通，真的太神奇了，哈哈哈
視頻內容有些是重複的，不過我還是看得好开心❤
32:05 the shopkeeper said: scan (your payment QR code) here (the camera) to pay. It does not mean that look at the camera.
i like ur video
You should go to the 3D city of Chongqing, it is a very magical place where many miracles will happen! There will be things you will never forget.
mac D's burger flavoured with hăo chī (good food) bread 😂...
(how much) "duo shao qian"
你是有多爱这个酱饼啊，天天吃。
Hallo Ivana ,saya suka akan konten vlog kalian,tetap semangat .
Hot beef noodle soup plus cold weather 👍👍
that's Tsingtao beer, you guys can travel there one day, that's my hometown and a beautiful city for tourism
The buffet looked like Canadian Chinese food!😊
4:50 The name of this cake is Jiangxiangbing or Qiangcenbing . 😊Welcome to China😊
葱油饼/酱香饼/酱香葱油饼
Why you guys don't use an app to translate those menu's ? Or communicate via translator app to the seller 😅
China today produces over 70% of the world's tomato paste so ketchup from anywhere is probably from Chinese tomatoes regardless if it's Heinz, French's, No Name or tomato sauces from Catelli's, Classico or Primo !
Chinese ketchup? Well, Ketchup actually originated from China. The name 'ketchup' is a dialect word from some part of China that I don't really know where.
it's from Cantonese : "Ke" = Tomato; "chup" = sauce
This is an interesting fact. Thanks for sharing this! I learned something new reading this :D
46:00, Shanghai local foods are actually not that spicy. The hot food you were eating mainly originated from other parts of China. 😂
排骨年糕，蟹粉小笼包，甜品，牛排，奥灶面（这个其实是昆山的，但是上海也有）
Weren’t you in Hong Kong last night? Traveled through time?
these are old clips
好多老外喜欢这个煎饼😂
If you come to China again next time, I recommend you to go to Chengdu. Although many foreigners prefer Shanghai at the first stop, as a China person, I think Chengdu is more suitable for sightseeing.
What's the name of the beef noodle soup resto? Wasn't able to see it clearly in the video.
建议来的时候下个支付宝，不用换现金，会更方便，所有的支付都可以使用
I suggest you come to Yueyang.
brown beer bottle is better as it stops the light going in....
At 32:19 at the pork lunchbox store, it wasn't a camera she wanted you to look into, that was a QR code scanner probably used to make payment via electronic means. In Chinese cities, most people don't pay by cash anymore. Everything is by electronic payment, so if you pay by cash, they can tell you aren't local. Even street buskers accept payment via electronic means, and hawkers do too. China has the benefit of not having a legacy of past means of payment, so it's like they went straight to adopting the latest means of electronic payment right away. And because they don't have a legacy of having a lot of petrol-fuelled cars like most of the world does, you can see a lot of electric vehicles there. 'Cos it's like most of the regular folks went straight from bicycles and scooters/motorcycles to driving electric cars and skipped on the whole petrol-fuelled car era. Also, you probably see a lot of local car brands that are unknown outside of China, because it's probably more affordable to drive a locally made car, instead of a foreign brand imported car, if those are even available in the country.
Actually the helpful staff at Luckin Coffee Chengdu help me order light alcoholic latte called Jiang Xiang Latte , I pay them cash LOL
It’s a little pity that all the food you tried is literally Chinese food but not in Shanghainese style.😢😢😢
牛肉麵裏面有可能有花椒，所以會有麻，香的感覺，但是很過癮。標準川菜的配置。花椒花椒
The dumpling you drank with a straw, in Mandarin it's called "tang bao", which means "soup bun", so I guess it's not supposed to have meat in it, just soup.
Mee is exactly how noodle is pronounced in Shanghai, just like in Malaysia.
try KFC breakfast in Shanghai, you can even order XiaoLongBao in KFC.
Wait, did Luckin refuse you to pay in cash? It's illegal because all merchants are required to accept cash by policy in order to make life easier for seniors. They should be reported if they did refused.
Famous beef soup just cross the road from " haochi" roti bread, which would be perfect combination.😂😂
Mc egg muffin is small in Canada.
建议下一站去中华艺术宫 ，上海博物馆，上海自然博物馆，上海不光只有美食。
I got homesick after watching your videos...
