  • HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! // GONG XI FAT CHAI to our Chinese friends.
    Before coming to Pakistan, we spent a year in Malaysia where there is a huge Chinese population. So Chinese New Year is a big celebration in Malaysia.
    Since we are in Pakistan, we decided to find a good Chinese restaurant to celebrate and try Chinese food in Pakistan!
    To our surprise, there are actually many Chinese restaurants.
    Unfortunately we cannot find any info about CNY celebrations in Lahore. But we are glad to dine in one of the best Chinese food restaurants in Lahore (Mandarin Kitchen in DHA Phase 3, Lahore, Pakistan).
    Check out our reaction!
    We cannot wait to explore more of this country! Pakistan Zindabad!

    Fun fact: people who migrated from China to Pakistan a few decades ago to escape the conservative political regime or the one-child policy set up the first Chinese restaurants here. Over time, their flavour profile adapted to the Pakistani palate, which meant ramped up spices, basically. The second wave of restaurants was owned by Pakistanis, because by this time Chinese food had become super common in cities. What you're having is Pakistani Chinese food, but I don't know who the owner of this particular establishment is. Going to a Chinese-owned restaurant maaaay just give you more of a sense of authentic flavour.

    It's not necessarily authentic, but it's not "fake" either. Just like there is American-Chinese food such as Panda Express, there is Indian-Chinese and Pakistani-Chinese foods often created by Chinese immigrants using local ingredients. It might not be something you might find in China, but it's worth appreciating and enjoying for what it is. Even the Hamburger was meant to be a take on a German dish. It's literally named after the German city of "Hamburg". And FYI, it's "General Tso" in America.

    In Pakistan you will find three different kinds of Chinese foods. 1. Desi Chinese Food, most restaurants serve this kind of Chinese food, very popular in local population similar to Indian Chinese. 2. Westernised Chinese Food, like mandarin Kitchen, Rice Bowl, P.F. Chang etc. 3. We also have authentic Chinese food Restaurants as well, not too many but they do exist e.g. Dynasty at the Avari Hotel, Red Lotus at the Sheraton and Taipan at the Pearl Continental Hotel(sort of like a mix btw Cantonese and Westernised Chinese Food) 4. Taste of China. Notable mentions. Check out Yum, Novu, and Fuschia Kitchen really popular and good Chinese restaurants in Lahore. Hope u guys enjoy your stay in Lahore.

    Another good addition in good vlogs . I've, already, told you, while you are in Lahore. To check the kitchen, chef, dish washing area, food storage standard is your legal right. So, when you have any question, related. You should ask for manager to help you.
    Regarding Chinese.
    Pakistan has much more Chinese than any other country. Because of the CPEC (One belt one road project). But, they don't have a specific place like "China Town" etc. They are mix in society. Mostly in DHA and Bahria Town.
    It is my observation, though.
    Looking forward for your next production.

    How do you say Happy Chinese New Year in Urdu and Punjabi?
    Btw, this is how Chinese New Year greetings in some of Malaysian languages:
    Mandarin: Gong Xi Fa Cai
    Cantonese: Kong Hee Fatt Choy
    Hokkien: Kiong Hee Huat Tsai
    Malay: Selamat Tahun Baru Cina
    Iban: Selamat Taun Baru Cina
    Dusun: Kotobian Toun Wagu do Sina
    Tamil: Cina Puttantu Valttukkal
    English: Happy Chinese New Year
    But what's interesting is that none of the non-Chinese language manage to capture the exact meaning of Gong Xi Fa Cai (Mandarin), Kong Hee Fatt Choy (Cantonese) and Kiong Hee Huat Tsai (Hokkien) which despite its different pronunciation, it all means the same i.e wishing you become richer or in today context wishing you getting more money! So, if you wanna say it in Malay Gong Xi Fa Cai, the correct translation would be Semoga anda bertambah kaya or Semoga wang anda berganda!
    Xin Nian Kuai Le is the more accurate translation for Happy New Year.
    Kindly correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not Malaysian Chinese. This was told to me by my Chinese friends.
    My guess is that Ivana must be Hokkien Chinese since she's a Peranakan. So I would like to wish Ivana and Steve in Hokkien - Kiong Hee Huat Tsai to both of you! More money, more travel, more videos for us to watch! Yeay!
