The idea that all foreigners either like or dislike Chinese food as a whole is a silly one in itself. First, there are 190+ countries besides China so speaking for all foreigners seems quite arbitrary. Second, anyone who knows basics about China would know China is extremely huge and diverse where each different region has its unique food culture. So speaking for the entirety of so-called Chinese food is also an inappropriate concept. Put these two facts together, then you realize it’s really just about individual take and personal appetite in terms of food. Like David enjoys spicy and intense flavors whilst little Freddie finds soupy food delicious. I do notice however some people prefer crispy bready stuff (northern western food culture) and some are more into the mild, kinda slimy gluey chewy southern style food. I mean, it’s probably not just about what specific food you prefer, at the end of the day it’s about the experience itself. The adventure that you are taking on that actually makes the difference. Plus, in major cities in China, you’ll be able to find all sorts of international food all over the place so no worries about that❤❤
This comment deserves to be pinned 🤟🏼❤️
Well said, then there's the Chinese takeaways in China Town. They're not that finely made.
this is a common strategy to deceive people on the internet. They use dichotomy to judge a complex topic. By using a single counterexample, they trick people to believe the opposite is correct.
another method here is equivocation. there is no need to prove that "not all love it" because it is objective and true. However, they mislead people guessing whether the a person is faking, which is subjective.
I grew up in NYC and I am not Chinese by origin but I survived on good Chinese food as I grew up there and Mott street was another dimension. As I visited China last year, its a whole different dimension, one that will make us visit China again and again.
That’s awesome Roy!
Every country has yummy and yucky food, China is the same...but all in all China is the best when you throw in quality of life!
Well said! 😉
China is a highly inclusive country where there is no racial discrimination, so the cuisine of various ethnic groups is widely accepted and mutually borrowed.

I remember my teachers and professors telling me in American classes that they do not like Chinese food because they see me as Chinese. I told them that it was perfectly fine with me because everybody has a right to love certain kinds of food, even though I prefer not to talk about it in front of all the students. They don't say that they don't like Chinese, probably because it's not a polite thing to do, but they always lower my scores for no reason and talk about bad things in the classes, which only I know is not true.
Your American teachers treated you like that? That’s just rude, you should file a complaint with the board of the school. Or heck, take it straight to CNN 🤟🏼
I wouldn't study in that school or live in America if they treat me like that. American mind are so twisted. They are not normal people!
Those that said you’re faking to like Chinese foods, most likely they thought they had real Chinese foods from Panda Express and qualified to be Chinese foods expert.
😂😂😂 Panda Express Experts
I must admit I love the orange chicken from Panda Express
@@bettinachan7432 it’s true, I heard from a lot of my friends, their favorite dish is orange chicken 😊
Peking Duck
Xiaolongbao

@@dinnerwaltz yum yum , not forgetting the 10 types of dumplings in Xian and the mouthwatering chicken dish.
nah Canton Duck is way better than peking duck
My favourite Chinese food is hot pot, noodle soup, dumplings and mantou (steamed buns)!
BBQ mantou is better 😉
@@OurChineseLife BBQ mantou?! I have never heard of this before, now I'm so curious!!
YUMMY YUMMY 😋
@@LW78321 after the bbq, the mantou skin becomes crisp and the inside is still soft . Anyway, it is better than steamed mantou.
@@bryandeng570 omggg I must try this 😍😍
China is bigger than Europe and with more people. To say one doesn't like Chinese food is like saying one doesn't like European food--I mean which type of European food, French? Italian? Greek? German?
Exactly! 😉
Adults like what they are used to , but kids haha , they love Chinese snacks 😂
honestly I love Chinese food more than my own local food😅.. of course it helps that i live in Dongbei which has some of the best dishes ever!
What’s local food in SA like? I heard SA is famous for ostrich steak!?

中国有56个民族，960万平方公里土地，粗略分为八大菜系(8大类特色明显的食物加工工艺)，此外每一个小县城小乡镇可能都有各具特色的食物，中国菜就像把所有人都叫“人类”一样，是一个集合概念，你总能在那么多的中国菜中找到适合你的口味的。

I am living there, literally just meters away from the place you shot this clip! what a big China and what a small world! would love to meet this lovely family in person!
Then we must be neighbors cause we also live meters away 😉
@@OurChineseLife We might run into each other sooner or later! Before that, have fun!
Holy shyt! I just found your channel, LOVE VHS style.
Is it a filter? Looks astonishing good, almost made me think you are really recording off a vhs camera.
To me, China is the best place for food. You can find all kinds of international varieties in big cities, meanwhile every smaller city or town you visit has their own special dishes.
I had a road trip in China along coastline, eating my way from Northeast to Sanya last year. Such a great roadtrip.
That sounds like a great trip! Next time go to Kunming and xishuangbana and try food from the local minorities, it will blow your mind! We recreate the VHS effect with little effects and an overlay 😉 thanks for checking out our channel!! 🤟🏼
OMG, I also love lotus with pork soup!! It is one of my favorites, especially when my mom makes it.
😂😂 I’ve also tried to make it but it won’t come out the same as the restaurant
I'm really surprised Freddy likes lotus root with pork ribs soup. It's not a very common dish and is only popular in central china like Hubei and Hunan region.
Search 排骨藕汤 in YT you will see many recipes how to make it
I am from Hong Kong and I love lotus root soup too. It’s one of my favourite soups. Not difficult to make at all. I’m sure you can find recipes on UA-cam easily.
When I visit any countries, I pay respect to their foods. You have to taste the foods like the local and do not compare it to your own country like. To those who making the nasty comments are just only a China hater.
Just enjoy people’s cultures and cuisines 🫶🏻
@@OurChineseLife 💯
So much choice inside Chinese food, just pick what your like.

Asians don’t accuse each other of faking a love for Western food-not because Western cuisine is perfect, but because our deep-rooted history of diversity has taught us not to impose our tastes on others.

Chinese Food is so good. But after spending so much time in China, i also got saturated. But tonight, i went to a Chinese resto.... miss China. No doubt most foreigners love Chinese food.
What’s your favorite Chinese food?
@@OurChineseLife if i can afford it, Peking Duck. But the everyday is great too, Lanzhou noodle, Guilin Noodle. Food from Anhui and Shaanxi. And the lamb BBQ from Xinjiang or Xining. Oh too many. Plus the Charsui of Macau and Hong Kong Lemon chicken.
@@eduardochavacano good choices! But we don’t eat duck anymore since we had a pet duck 🦆
@@OurChineseLife not very comfortable eating duck either. i was vegetarian for a year once, until a Chinese friend brought me to a very expensive restaurant in Shanghai and ordered Peking duck. He was once poor. But became very rich. So he wanted to treat his English to a very expensive restaurant. I also tried duck in Anhui, it deep fried. But i will only eat duck in China.
Just like me, when I was a 9 year kid, I boycott eating any chicken,, duck, goose and rabbit , as these were my pets! I started to eat them again after 20years
Love your attitude. To keep an open mind and willing to be adventurous is the way of living an interesting and good life.
Always! You need to be open minded
每个国家的历史、地理、生存环境不同，所以造就了千差万别的饮食习惯，这么说吧，对于一个海洋型国家和一个内陆型国家来讲，饮食肯定是不同的，所以对于这两者，如果去品尝对方的食物，第一次肯定是会产生很大的不适应，但我相信大家都是人类，对美食的追求和品味是大致相同的，所以假以时日，中国种类繁多的菜品，一定会被大多数国家的人民喜欢上的😄
Gawd, your kids are so cute, really reminds me of the friends I grew up with in the 80s.
That’s great! Biggest compliment so far.
I live in China, and I have to admit, it took a while for me to acquire a taste for many Chinese dishes. I really like the different rice noodle soups now.
Kids, I'm Chinese living in UK. I found dried squird and spicy dried bean snacks in Chinese stores.
Really? How much they sell it for?
@@OurChineseLife not expensive, I think they are less than 2 pounds.
This channel deserve a million subscribers too much underated
Wow thanks for the compliment! ❤️😎
I have been to the Netherlands 100's of times since the early 80's. We always ate hot pot there. The first utensils for us to make hot pot was bought in the Netherlands. 🤣🤣😂😂
I’ve lived in the Netherlands all my life (except the last 13years) and I’ve never seen or been to a authentic Chinese Hotpot before 😂
Chinese food has been developing for thousands of years, they have the most food material kinds, many of those even a local Chinese would not be able to see or eat them all.
Very clean and tidy 👍🍺
BBCNN : We are the best, so if someone is better than us, then he is the worst ! Even the food !
😉
"Really like you guys! Thanks for making all these tremendous videos. You bring back the 80s vibes! Lastly, your kids are really cute! Thanks, mate, wholeheartedly."
Thank you so much! What a great comment!
Boston has many authentic Chinese restaurants. Honestly, most of the customers are Chinese or Asians，but you will also see some foreigners, especially at some Cantonese restaurants. However, if you go to an American-style Chinese restaurant, you will see many white guys. And these guys are way more professional than me😂
If you see Chinese people going into a Chinese restaurant abroad (not here in china) you know it’s gonna be real authentic Chinese food, and it’s a must to follow them in and have a meal of a lifetime 😉🫶🏻
I'm Chinese and the reason I choose to go to Panda Express instead of authentic Chinese restaurants is because I need to consider my expense budget.
@@AngelaChen-nn2hf Yes，Panda Express is way more affordable than those authentic Chinese restaurants.
authentic Chinese food is expensive
I live in HK but I frequently visit SZ. Maybe u can take us out next time

That's a weird position - Chinese food covers such a wide range of tastes and styles that pretty much everyone should be able to find something that appeals to their tastes.
Can’t Agreed anymore. Good foods have no boundaries. Their true values are to taste good, smell good, look good and healthy. I love to travel and try different types of foods, no bias just human instinct. ❤
Im from the US and theres Chinese restaurants everywhere. Even in small towns youll see a Chinese restaurant.
Yes Chinese restaurants are everywhere. There are even Dutch snack bars owned and run by Chinese in my hometown in the Netherlands! 😂
But the cooking in most Chinese restaurants isn't really Chinese anymore.
😁When we visit U$ we always ask restaurant owners for the food and cooking methods they eat themselves.
I have a poor memory, and Chinese is very difficult.
It’s very hard to learn Chinese!
初期难。但中后期很简单。 语法很简单
💕
中国有2800多个县，30000多个乡镇，都有当地特色菜肴，China has more than 2,800 counties and more than 30,000 towns, all with their own local specialties.
Whenever i order the mala pot , I tell the waitress to use less oil and chilli...i experienced Chengdu mala hotpot really good with less chilli and oil
加油 😀😀😀
I think the people who raised the question or made the statement are oftentimes doing the similar things themselves.😅
Good❤❤
Some people who never traveled outside their own country have funny train of thoughts sometimes
Very funny 🚂😉
They are probably referring to Panda Express
Is that the fast food version of Chinese food in the west?
@@OurChineseLife Yes, a lot in the US, mostly in shooping mall food courts and airport terminals.
@@OurChineseLife Yes, Panda Express is a "Chinese style" fast food chain in the US
A couple of things I'd miss about UK cuisine if I lived in China would a Sunday roast dinner and a chippy tea.
That’s what David misses the most too. But guess what, you can get roast dinners in china too 😂😂
The rice ball with eyes staring a hole into the back of Ursula's head is unnerving me! 3:00 (haha, I know, I know, serendipitously placed fasteners)
😂😂😂
Even in China, there are different region with different eating habit. Even different regional Chinese may not get used to other region.
The guy looks like "WAYNES WORLD WAYNES WORLD WAYNES WORLD"....
We were Waynes World for Halloween
中國美食五花八門永遠吃不完😂
In England, all you get are pork pies or the Shepherd's Pie and that is not even English.

@@OurChineseLife People will make nasty comments on things they could not experience/have. Because they missed out many things in life. They can only become a sour puss.

“How can you truly love food from a different country?”
Me as a Chinese visiting home after ten years living in US:
-first 5 months: all sorts of Chinese food
-starting month-6: I miss a good sandwich, I miss cheese, I miss hummus, I miss a good taco, I miss trader joe
Me at month 7: let’s go to Taco Bell 🌮 Let’s go to Burger King 🍔 we’ve got it all here in china too 😂
yeah love that background music 😋
Thanks! 😎
Your intro is awesome
Thanks! 😉
I am a Chinese, honestly speaking, many Chinese dishes are too salty, it may makes your kidney over loaded.
You should try coconut chicken hotpot 😂 it’s the blandest food I’ve tried so far
@@OurChineseLife that's great you love Chinese foods.
,
Wow, your Kids are more Chinese than Chinese.Not even Chinese would pick lotus soup or spare ribs as their favorite food, therefore hats off to both Kids. Only real gourmets understand that the taste IS attached to bones.
Freddy loves soup and he loves bones. So…lotus soup is his 2 favorite things put together 😂. Anything on the bone he loves, he even sucks the blood out the middle 😉and it’s more nutritious too.
2:02-2:10 Make every night a Blockbuster night ....and go home happy!

There is at least ONE foreigner who doesn't like Chinese food. David Goldman is his name. I know because he admitted it in one of his videos
😂😂😂
faking eating chinese foods for attention? that's the most weird idea I have ever heard.
Me too 😂😂😂 BUT many people are commenting this strange idea
There is another kind of home make Chinese food. It is not available in restaurants. You need to know Chinese family to cook for you
We know, we have eaten plenty of times with our ayi’s family 😉
True.
There are hundred of thousand cooking ways in Chinese, some I don't like, some I like very much.
Chinese food in China… basically Northern and Southern China is different … Northern more likely wheat stuff which is bread, noddles cooking with more oily… Southern food is based😊 on rice cooking style different…
Chinese people have so many different varieties of soups, dishes and sauce.
China is a massive country and has countless different kinds of food - there's bound to be something for everyone
👍🏻👍🏻
lotus root and pork spareribs is one of my favorites. I'm taiwanese and I find american chinese food to be bland and overly sweet. Growing up in the US, nothing is more disappointing than ordering hot & sour soup that isn't hot or sour. There's lots of chinese dishes that most people won't like and there are dishes my parents love that I won't eat. Bitter melon is one that I try every 10 years and I still don't like it. Chinese eggplant is famous, but I prefer korean eggplant dish instead.
Everyone has different taste, but when a sweet and sour soup isn’t even sweet or sour…😂 that’s a different story
世界有三大菜系，土餐、法餐，还有我们中餐，其实把中国归纳为一个菜系有些不准确，中餐可不是只有北京烤鸭、宫保鸡丁、火锅，因为地理环境的因素，不同区域形成了不同的烹饪方式和口味，不可能把这么多差异化的东西归纳成一个菜系，当然如果你只是去快餐店，那么大部分城市都有相同的东西，但如果你品尝的是地方特色菜，会发现很大的差异
😍😍😍😋😋😋🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
作為一個中國人最大的遺憾、就是這輩子都沒法完全完整的吃勻全中國各種菜式😅
As a chinese, I don't like "all" chinese food and have always hated those food or cooking style that are too oily. I think its perfectly fine to have your individual preferences.

I dont believe them. As an Indonesian Chinese, I can eat everything, although I love Italian foods. If you eat it in Europe, well, sooo bland. but Chinese food in China are tastier than those in the west. So maybe those youtubers are just in awe for getting tastier food in their buds
when you eat in China just remember they use the same trucks to transport cooking oil and gasoline without even washing the drums 😂😂😂
I’ll remember that next time I bite into my delicious fried noodles 👍🏻
I’ve been in China 37 years and I detest the food
Put anything in a wok with loads of oil ginger and garlic
Everything has the same flavor
One thing I did like was Xian burgers until I found out that it’s donkey
Everything has same flavor??? Are you sure 😂😂? I know which donkey burger you mean, it looks like a delicious baguette/panini. We never tried it and never will, we don’t eat donkey 🫶🏻
@@OurChineseLife and I suppose you don’t eat horse
An inherent problem with China is they find it very difficult to raise cattle so the next best is horse and donkey
You may ask your Chinese friends they will tell you
@@GARRYJackson-q1h We don’t eat horse of course and also we don’t eat duck! We used to have a pet duck so that changed the game 😉

it's a nonsense topic to argue about , both foreigner and Chinese food are just labels, labels may help you get to learn new things easily but never limit our mind and feed our ego by them.

Because most westerners think of Chinese food as dog meat, cat meat, bat soup, gutter oil, and some other exotic, unhygienic and/or "unethical" related kinda stuff.
Those are westerners that never been to China that think Chinese food is dog meat. By the way, it’s actually it’s Chinese people that are making the the comments that foreigners don’t like Chinese food and we are just faking it 😂😂😂
You guys are so cool, dressing like that knowing no one will judge on you :)
Thanks! Yeah in China nobody will judge you on your fashion choices that’s for sure. In Europe that’s a different story, but we wear the same stuff no matter what. A little insult here and there makes you tough 😂
