We do not see many youtubers eating out of a plastic cover , Mark just is natural and does not change a thing about the experience and the authenticity of the dish and the place.
I love Mark!. You are the best food vlogger I’ve ever known. Been watching you for almost 7 years, and thinking that you are getting old too, it somehow makes me emotional. Take care Mark & your family. ❤❤
@SnarkyMcsnarkles24 To be fair if you're American (I am) we've fucked up our food big time too. The FDA is constantly approving super shady chemicals along with giving us essentially death potions in the form of energy drinks. I'd say the reason why gutter oil is so prevalent to us Westerners I'd a mixture of propaganda and China's population density being so high. Hence we can see more cases of malpractice than here in the West.
ikr?? his reverence and respect for other cultures is one of the many reasons I love this channel. If I could get my son to sit still long enough to watch its a great channel to teach kids about other cultures LOL
@@SlytherSnake ok. .if I want to teach my son to love other cultures different from his own that is my choice. What difference does it make to you? Hint, none.
Chinese is my favourite asian cuisine. The diversity is just unbelievable , you have muslim cuisine you have szechuan cuisine you have hong kong cuisine you have peijing cuisine and so much more
Wow, you know mark is an authentic foodie when he found Hanzhong. I’m Chinese and never even visited Hanzhong before. Such great energy! Really hope you enjoy your time in China!
Mark you definitely have a way of making us feel like we are there with you enjoying the foods! Thank you for this! Getting to see parts of the world that many of us can’t.
Chinese food are very popular in my country as China is our neighborhood country. So, Mark's Chinese food tour series make me to try authentic Chinese cuisines. Amazing!
@@SnarkyMcsnarkles24ask the internet and you shall find an valid answer unless you believe customers are stupid enough in China to eat gutter oil nowadays😂
Thank you sir for your great insight, I love learning about China from America, and the people and culture is beautiful, friendly, and exciting. God bless you!!!!
Same! When I saw the prices on here I was AMAZED! for less than $0.80 he had a whole bowl off Noodles..everything else was extremely inexpensive. For home made food..I love how he talks about the food and REALLY means what he's saying! 😂❤❤❤
Love the China scenery.Hanzhong seems to be very beautiful and very peaceful.Thanks for all the discovery and adventure Mark.God bless you and your family.
21:42 You know it’s spicy when Mark is coughing. I think this is the first video I’ve ever seen him cough eating spicy food in the 5+ years I’ve been watching. Wow. 🥵
Although Hanzhong is located in Shaanxi Province, it is divided by the Qinling Mountains from the capital Xi'an, and its culture is closer to Sichuan in the south west China. People there speak Sichuan dialect and food there like Sichuan cuisine with more spicy
Wow that lady rolling the little walnut rolls did it with so much confidence that is very hard thing to do with dough very awesome to watch their techniques
As a local who once lived in Hanzhong for about 20 years, Hanzhong is known as "The birthplace of the Han Chinese, the treasure trove of China", which shows its long lasting history and excellent natural conditions. Located between Qingling and the great Ba mountain ranges, it is named as the "Little Yangtze-South City" in the Northwestern part of China. Hanzhong is considered to be a critical city for sectional dynasties of ancient China. So glad to have Mark in Hanzhong, love from HK！❤❤❤
Each city has different food and scenery. China's eight major cuisines. I hope you can experience them. Haha. I wish you a happy trip in China. Happy eating. You are all welcome.
@@lillustpotion not exactly 8 dishes. its 8 different branches of dishes. however, the 3 biggest branches are SiChuan Dishes (Chuan), Shandong Dishes (Lu), Huaiyang. SiChuan Dishes are famous for its spiciness, Lu dishes are the royal cuisines. Huaiyang Dishes is also delicate.
@@lillustpotion Not many foreign vlogers have tried these dishes cuz they need to be eaten in a proper restaurant with at least 6 people. otherwise you cannot experience the whole thing. normally we have 4-6 cold dishes for starters, 8-12 hot dishes for the main course (at least one fish dish, one pork dish, one beef dish, one chicken/duck dish each, at least one vegi dish). we finish with 2-4 dishes for carbs(dumplings, baozi, rice cake...) and 1 soup dish and 1 fruit plate. For a tourist, very few of them have posted this kind of food.
Mark wiens!!youre so adventureous thats why i loved and enjoyed to watched your food vlog everytime...you always make me feel hungry and every moment goes so natural..😅😅😅
Wow, it's really surprising to see you made this wonderful food video in Hanzhong, my hometown! I have been studying in the US and have always been dreaming about have a bite of our Hanzhong rice noodles! Yumyum~
There’s no way he finishes all the dishes he eats. Or he fasts between video post. Maybe has a “team” or a friend he shares dishes with. I say that because it makes no sense to me either. I swear I must weigh more than him but can’t put food down like that lol. He must be tall or has a crazy metabolism. I also eat healthy for the most part, somethings not adding up😅
wow all these dish's look so delicious. wish there was some of those noodle dish was here in new york but regardless thank you mark for all you do and for showing us such delicious food.
Hi mark, i was the one waving at you when you just got inside the van in zamboanga boulevard. I was so happy to see you in person, Been a huge fan since the pandemic days. ❤
Wow you are awesome!!!! I know you love the heat but wow you ate that fish like it was boneless 👍🏾🙏🏾Thank you for sharing ,and hello to family,and thank you Micheal !!!!
Oh my goodness! My home is now in Sydney but Hanzhong is my only hometown! Born and grown up in this small city and I really appreciate that you shot this! Thanks so much for presenting this to the whole world Mark!!!
Thank you Mark for introducing my hometown, it's a small city and in the very middle of China, welcome you to visit again😀, welcome friends from all over the world to travel my lovely friendly maybe the cutest city in China😍😍
love the everyday life feeling.. no glamour, no special lighting... just a glimpse in life of people going about their business and some good looking food
This is what true food adventure looks like! From crispy walnut bread to chili-drenched fish, this video is a feast of flavors and textures we can almost taste! 🤤🔥🌰
That Michael seems like a great guide. All the places he recommends are like these tiny hole in the wall restaurants that somehow all the locals manage to find. Plus they all serve really unique dishes and its great to watch them prepare those. Many of these places I would have just walked past while having no clue what unique things are happening behind these unassuming facades.
Shanxi chilli oil is more on the aromatic side, not very spicy. When you are in Sichuan, Hunan and Hainan, please be very careful, especially in Hainan, when you come across with the yellow colour chilli paste, they are made from yellow lantern chilli, the most spicy kind for it's highest capsaicin concentration among all kinds of China.
So Hanzhong is now on my bucket list. I'm just not sure if I could do it on my own. Are there guides that can show visitors around and show the places safe for westerners and yet still get the local foods?
Back to 2007 Mark and family visited Vietnam , Mica was less than 1 years old. I am watching this channel since that time ❤. Best wishes from Saudi Arabia
Chinese cuisine arguably is one of the most savory artistic multi-faceted developed and evolved culinary foods on the planet. Everything is just absolutely delicious 🥰

Hanzhong is not even a tourist city, Mark is really showing lowkey chinese delicacy to people
What are the odds he ate gutter oil? Im guessing pretty high.
@@SnarkyMcsnarkles24 about the same odds as you having an IQ higher than 100
@@SnarkyMcsnarkles24It has been gone for many years, gutter oil can transfer to aircraft fuel now.

Please try Indian cuisine, you will love it.
@ayubhossain204 i tried indian food its good and i love it but for me chinese is better but what indian dishes you can recommend?
It’s exciting to see Mark in China again. I hope he’ll stay awhile and introduce us to some more interesting Chinese cuisine.

Mark you definitely have a way of making us feel like we are there with you enjoying the foods! Thank you for this! Getting to see parts of the world that many of us can’t.
Mark's ability to eat large amounts of Sichuan spicy foods makes me so envious. One bite from me will make me look as if just came out of a shower.
That’s asians for ya. Were all immune to this. Its in our blood.
He is part Chinese so its in his blood.
@@in4ser I know plenty of Chinese people who can't eat spicy foods, what you said makes no sense.
Do you also have a runny nose while eating spicy food? I heard that just means you are allergic to it😂

#1. Like Anthony Bourdain said, you can spend a life time discovering China's food culture, in the end, you've barely scratched the surface.
21:42 You know it’s spicy when Mark is coughing. I think this is the first video I’ve ever seen him cough eating spicy food in the 5+ years I’ve been watching. Wow. 🥵
I noticed that too! It takes quite a lot to get him.
Its more likely to be the numbing. the sichuan pepper goes to the throat and cause the cough.
This is my first time seeing it as well!
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Great lessons before visiting China! Can’t wait❤

Hope you're having a great day!
My hometown, thanks Mike. Hope you have a good time in China.

I have never seen Mark being so happy with a meal. This is definitely one of a few of the meals that he enjoys the most.
I have definitely seen him much happier.

Every small town has its own unique food you can’t find anywhere else in China, the rich and depth of food culture is amazing
When I’m feeling down, I just watch one of Mark’s videos.
now i realized why he feels so close to me. HE LOOKS LIKE WOODY FROM TOY STORY!!!!
so comforting to watch him.
takes me back to my childhood 😭💕
Each city has different food and scenery. China's eight major cuisines. I hope you can experience them. Haha. I wish you a happy trip in China. Happy eating. You are all welcome.
Where could I find out about the 8 cuisines? I had no idea

Hmm.. This is fun and yummy. Well-done Mark.
What an adventure!
Love the foods, but it's Mark saying, "ooh, wow..." that really makes it worth watching.
It would be more fun if he didn't say it to everything.
It looks magnificent! I could not cope with all the chilli but it does look brilliant! Thank you for the video!
Not really spicy, this chili variant is known primarily for its aroma.
陕西的辣椒香而不辣，大胆去尝试吧。
@@theolich4384 Oh! Thank you for the information. Appreciated!

Always impressed about the creativity of those dishes. The last one from the bag. Crazy!
Mark, how do you stay so slim, I’ve put on a stone watching you.
lol walking everywhere he eats haha
The level of spice he had been absorb negated his weight
he jogs and swims from Thailand to wherever he visits. he doesn't use modern vehicles

I swear I must weigh more than him but can’t put food down like that lol. He must be tall or has a crazy metabolism. I also eat healthy for the most part, somethings not adding up😅
I think he has some severe diarrhea more then we realize. Bourdain talked about losing weight that way a bit.
wow all these dish's look so delicious. wish there was some of those noodle dish was here in new york but regardless thank you mark for all you do and for showing us such delicious food.
