The first buffet place is cheap because the costs is subsidized by the temple donations. They are trying to provide to the locals who are Buddhist a place to gather and eat. The 2nd place is a good price considering the variety of food options and expensive and exotic ingredients. That’s hard to find it anywhere else outside of China.
@@nljie What you mean is how much money you earn in a country can buy in that country. There is a proper noun in economics called parity purchase. China is the world's number one country in terms of parity purchasing power.
The first "cheap" buffet is actually a charity food bank donated by nearby Buddhist temples and believers. They ask for a small amount of money to keep people's dignity and to make people feel they are paying for their food. But that pricing can hardly pay for the salaries of the staff, not to say the food. So, if one is in real difficulty, one can walk in, say the Buddhist prayer, and have some free food. All of those Buddhist background "charity restaurants" will be more than happy to feed people in need.
@@yunzilong2791 Yes, China has come a long way from 1990s when everything was broken. Kudos to Mr. Deng and successors. US government lags far behind China's when it comes to getting things done fast and efficiently.
Chinese buddhist vegetarian(often vegan, sometimes not) foods are amazing, and has been developing for over a millenia, and there's regional differences just as normal meat-inclusive regional cuisines. Even the imitation meat/seafood dishes that caters to temple visitors who aren't vegetarian like the monks, have been around many centuries before all that Impossible/Beyond/Omnipork stuff you see marketed today as something "new".
Chinese imitation meat products are so much better than Beyond products. With some imitation meats, you can barely tell that they are actually fully vegetarian
Don't listen to the negative comments. Trying Chinese food has nothing to do with opinions about the government. It's culture and chinese is a big and nice culture. If I was a food reviewer I would go everywhere I want no matter the government. I'd go to russia right now to try authentic russian cuisine. Why not? Right after I'd go to Kazakhstan and Ukraine for comparison.
I get what you’re saying and i agree but I feel like this comment is somewhat unnecessary, anyone that can’t differentiate between food and government likely has no chance of understanding your comment..
You're finally in China?! I can't believe it, I've been waiting years for you to do a China series! It's a huge country, there's SO much diversity in the regional cuisines, and I really hope you will feature some of the ethnic minorities too!
Tbh I LOVED the way they do buffets in china. It’s relatively cheap and you get unlimited beer liquor and wine. But if you waste any food you have to pay extra for each wasted plate.
@@accaciagame1706 Yea, it's totally inhumane to actually see your food live. Getting steroid pumped chickens that are deformed and live in tiny stuffed ages all of their lives... from chik-fil-a is way more humane... amirite?

The western world makes being vegetarian look miserable with their recipes. As an Asian, I can tell you that Asian vegetarian recipes will satisfy you in both fullness and flavor 💯
This video made me appreciate just how unique buffets are in China! From vegetarian-friendly $2 meals to full-on seafood extravaganzas, there's something for everyone (even if you're brave enough to try bugs!) 🐛
Describing the texture of food as "Satisfying, like closing a CD case in your mouth" is a PROFOUNDLY excellent & colorful way to describe the food. This is why I watch this content. I feel like I can actually get an idea of what you are eating by what you say sometimes.
i'm kinda surprised i never thought sonny would do a video in china after the statement he made in the taiwan episode 😅 i was hoping he would still visit china and here we are, i'm enjoying every second of it.
The truth is that they don't really care what he's said before. Sonny isn't Chinese and his videos aren't being shown in China. They only ban people considered to be a "threat" by engaging in some sort of activism.
These were probably filmed months before the Taiwan videos. It takes a while to edit things and I’d assume he had an experience similar to Egypt while in China, so he posted Taiwan before China. Then again, I don’t know. That’s just me brainstorming. I have a feeling that I’m right.
@@gandalf_the_pink-k I mean this video is pretty over the top complimentary of Chinese culture. I'm guessing they'll look the other way for a "food expert".
Chinese cuisine/food is very geographically diversified, and worthy at least 100+ episodes to explore. Officially, there are eight major cuisines of Chinese food, and there are so much more of different small regional cuisines outside that.
Absolutely! My eyes, palate and stomach have been opened by my grillfiend. Growing up Chinese food was the typical canto-Merican. She’s shown me some real Chinese food. (Yes, the secret Chinese menus are a thing. And you ABSOLUTELY NEED to get you some!)
The Buddhist vegetarian buffet even in the Unite States are at affordable prices as well, you just need to know where to find them, they are usually located in temples. I remembered going to the temple buffet in Dallas, Taxes, 20 years ago ,the buffet is approximately 5 bucks. Now it might charge more but I believe it’ll still relatively cheap compared to average American dining
Tofu skin has that rough texture because tofu, like cheese, is traditionally strained and pressed through a cloth so the outside is going to mold into the gaps between the fibers.
This is not just a food & travel review channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰🥰
brilliant video! loved watching it, felt like 5 minutes. The first buffet is mega cheap and looks like temple type food where people would go on a weekly basis to enjoy the food and pay a visit to the local temple. Definitely a staple for the locals 2nd looked amazing for the value and the price you pay you get A LOT, the sea food looked incredible and there is so much choice. Service was amazing with people coming to your table to prepare the fresh sea food. Definitely both incredible value buffets

We have had vegetarians in China for a long time, and these people are generally Buddhists or Taoists. People who have been vegetarians for a long time actually tend to eat more vegetable oils, just like you can see in some Indian street food videos, where there is not much meat but spices and deep-frying are common.

The 80$ buffet absolutely amazing and worth the price I'm going to that place next time i visit china everytime i go to China to shop motorcycles and motorcycles parts to my country but i don't know where to go for a good experience thank you for your effort in this videos ❤
I am so envious. I'd love to be able to see all of the beautiful places and cultures of the world and try the food :) I've always loved China and Chinese culture since I was a kid. My first love of it came from training in Shaolin Kung Fu and watching all of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan's movies and all the other martial arts films. Then learning about the history (my favorite is the Three Kingdoms Era, thanks to Dynasty Warriors getting me into that and me wanting to learn more!). You can separate a country and it's culture from their government. Doing that will let you find truly beautiful and amazing things.
Which governments or civil organizations would drive pirate ships to another continent to massacre indigenous people, declare the establishment of a hypocritical country, and then use the media to smear other countries on Earth?

The reason why there are always huge wars on Earth is because of this continent. Do you know where it is
The restaurant assistant has the cutest facial expression when suddenly the camera falls on her at 17:44. She has an almost perfect awkward confused expression captured in the moment. Great video. Yeah that $80 buffet does look very unique for sure.
I was wondering when Sunny was going to do one episode in mainland China! As a Chinese who just came back to China from the US, I love all your videos!🎉
Both are good options depending on what you want from the meal and $$$. Why are there so many haters/bots? My wife is from Hunan, and we enjoyed this video. Next time we are in China we will check them out! Thank you.
Holy.... that second buffet is insane. I obviously couldn't afford that often, but if I had anything like that within a 2 hour drive, that would be my birthday dinner every year.
If I spend $80 on a buffet, I will definitely need ingredients that are not available in a regular buffet. What I mean is, even if it's just a glance or a taste, it's already worth the ticket price Not to mention if it cooks well
Sonny I could watch your show and my brother Calvin’s all day long. Thank you both for the countless hours off making me hungry and laugh at the same time. I think the second buffet had more to offer and a better selection of fresh ingredients 🫡
I am not a vegetarian so buffet 2 was my choice. I could eat just about any of it except I would steer clear of the bug section.😀 Again as I always say your videos are entertaining and educational too. Thanks for sharing all your travels.
1:51 That noodle is called Hefen (pronounced Her Fenn), it's the Cantonese name for rice noodle, very similar to the noodles in Vietnamese Pho. Other parts of China have different names for it and slightly different percentage of rice flour and other types of starch. I personally consider it the transfer agent that brings sauce and flavor from the plate to the mouth.
7:10 This noodle with tire pattern is called "dried tofu" or "dried tofu" in Chinese. Essentially, it is a type of tofu that has been compressed to make it more compact and elastic. The special pattern on it is the texture of a cushion cloth. During the compaction process, a cushion cloth needs to be placed between each layer of tofu. This cushion cloth is similar to the traditional thick medical bandage gauze, and these textures are produced during the compression process. It's not for the sake of aesthetics.
I totally agree with Sunny, at first the $2 buffet looks fantastic even for more than $10+ it would still be totally and utterly worth the money. The food looked really good quality and it was clean and well presented. However, the second one was just totally out of this world. Like he says, if you save up and go for an extra special treat, I definitely would. 2.5 hours seems fairly reasonable except for the fact that you need to consider extra cooking time and opening up seafood time. I wish I could visit for sure.
This video shows a China with a fast-growing economy and people living and working in peace and contentment. But some people in the comment section , actually think this was achieved under the leadership of a bad government? In modern society, media reports are the truth for ordinary people, which is ridiculous.
You can hardly ask an ignorant person trapped in an information cocoon to know all this, because most people only turn on the TV and watch the news, and the "news" is manufactured, and they think that as long as it is on the TV, it is true
China is not successful because of the government. China is successful because of the hard work and resourcefulness of the people. Trust me when I say that the CRP is not a good government. I can say this because I'm Chinese myself.
One is simply for experience. The other is surely a bang for your buck. And knowing everything is vegetarian gives you a bit more reason not to hold back and eat with less guilt.
@@DS-ns1sn I have seen a women use the spoon for serving to sample the food at a buffet, kids put their fingers in the chocolate fountain then lick them, and more. Be happy all he did is talk at the food.
I really admire your openness to try out different foods and different way of eating things! I found it really interesting to see all the different offerings. It's great that they eat all parts of the animal to really make the most out of the animal.
The first buffet place is cheap because the costs is subsidized by the temple donations. They are trying to provide to the locals who are Buddhist a place to gather and eat.
The 2nd place is a good price considering the variety of food options and expensive and exotic ingredients. That’s hard to find it anywhere else outside of China.
80 bucks is in USD? Which is around $570 in RMB. Keep in mind that some fresh grads only earn around 3000 RMB per month.

If I spend $80 on a buffet, I will definitely need ingredients that are not available in a regular buffet. What I mean is, even if it's just a glance or a taste, it's already worth the ticket price Not to mention if it cooks well
China has such interesting choices for food, gotta love their creativity. And great video as always 👍
You can't be a real food vlogger without visiting China while trying some of the most authentic and delicious Chinese food.
They're so creative that even the food that aren't supposed to be eaten can be disguised as ordinary food

@@egzy7859 Ok.Dear god of food. it's ur job to define what r supposed to be eaten and what r not.
yes yes ...now is China Great many stuff to eat n try , hope u show on coming more in China.
Sonny I could watch your show and my brother Calvin’s all day long. Thank you both for the countless hours off making me hungry and laugh at the same time. I think the second buffet had more to offer and a better selection of fresh ingredients 🫡
I'm now a lifetime fan due to your very thoughtful narratives.
You are an absolute five-star perfection.
TYSM, cheers
I said it again this guy's humour style is best. Best I even seen. 100 percent plain humour, pure from heart or feel like this, this is top.
I am not a vegetarian so buffet 2 was my choice. I could eat just about any of it except I would steer clear of the bug section.😀
Again as I always say your videos are entertaining and educational too. Thanks for sharing all your travels.
$80 buffet is beyond worth it! Abalone itself cost a lot for just one and it's possible to eat a bunch of them
Your vids have been great from day 1 but have been getting progressively better.
You brighten up my day baldy! 😂
wow that 80$ buffet ! Amazing !!! Will visit chengdu next month !!
1:51 That noodle is called Hefen (pronounced Her Fenn), it's the Cantonese name for rice noodle, very similar to the noodles in Vietnamese Pho. Other parts of China have different names for it and slightly different percentage of rice flour and other types of starch. I personally consider it the transfer agent that brings sauce and flavor from the plate to the mouth.
Sonny Side in CHINAA🇨🇳🇨🇳...like Snow white❄ decided to be in the Hunger Games🔥🔥

Obviously, U.S Information Agency finally gives him and fellow food vlogger Mark Weins permission to go there.. Just saying. 🤷

Mark Wiens as well.
Thanks for the video. These two buffets also look amazing.❤
sunnys really mastered his comedy! lol but wow both of these buffets looked amazing!
7:10 This noodle with tire pattern is called "dried tofu" or "dried tofu" in Chinese. Essentially, it is a type of tofu that has been compressed to make it more compact and elastic. The special pattern on it is the texture of a cushion cloth. During the compaction process, a cushion cloth needs to be placed between each layer of tofu. This cushion cloth is similar to the traditional thick medical bandage gauze, and these textures are produced during the compression process. It's not for the sake of aesthetics.
the editing on this vid was so good
Much love from Kenya
love this episode! great job sonny!
I totally agree with Sunny, at first the $2 buffet looks fantastic even for more than $10+ it would still be totally and utterly worth the money. The food looked really good quality and it was clean and well presented. However, the second one was just totally out of this world. Like he says, if you save up and go for an extra special treat, I definitely would. 2.5 hours seems fairly reasonable except for the fact that you need to consider extra cooking time and opening up seafood time. I wish I could visit for sure.
This video shows a China with a fast-growing economy and people living and working in peace and contentment.
But some people in the comment section , actually think this was achieved under the leadership of a bad government?
In modern society, media reports are the truth for ordinary people, which is ridiculous.
You can hardly ask an ignorant person trapped in an information cocoon to know all this, because most people only turn on the TV and watch the news, and the "news" is manufactured, and they think that as long as it is on the TV, it is true
China is not successful because of the government. China is successful because of the hard work and resourcefulness of the people. Trust me when I say that the CRP is not a good government. I can say this because I'm Chinese myself.
@@ati2600晚清国民政府都是烂政府，让中国人民被西方殖民者踩在脚下，甚至连日本蕞尔小国都能屠杀几千万中国人。中国人讲饮水思源，你这种败类令人作呕，是新中国政府让中国人真正站起来，抗美援朝一战重新接起了中国脊梁让世界不敢轻视中国，没有共产党就没有新中国就没有今日中国之重返世界之巅

80$ is a great deal , considering the high quality & freshness you are getting, in Vegas you pay 100$+ and you're getting just above average food.
A pound of steak is not enough for the rooftop restaurant at the Las Vegas Tower Hotel
One is simply for experience. The other is surely a bang for your buck. And knowing everything is vegetarian gives you a bit more reason not to hold back and eat with less guilt.
God that 2nd buffet looks so good
Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try and do next year. Not sure if I want to try to starfish though.
I live in Chengdu, need to go and find these places!
He seriously makes me hungry every time I watch him. Day or night 😂🤍
The Satoru Gojo reference surprised me 😂

I’m surprised it’s taken so many buffet gigs for someone to tell you to stop talking/spitting on the food…
Agreed! I mean… I love Sonny but as a patron of that establishment, that would have turned me off…🤢
Most buffets have sneeze guards.
@@yftinthyn007but he’s never used one lol 😅
@@DS-ns1sn I have seen a women use the spoon for serving to sample the food at a buffet, kids put their fingers in the chocolate fountain then lick them, and more. Be happy all he did is talk at the food.
@ I believe you. Honestly, this is part of the reason that I don’t go to buffets!
Her cute reaction 😂 17:45
Holy
Man I love your humor not a dull moment and I’m glad you enjoy! Keep
Them video coming!!!!
Love the edits 😂
Was not expecting the gojo reference 😂
So so great.
Much love all the way from Fort Worth Texas 😊
Sonny, don't forget to thank Beyonce for your wealth since you made a P. Diddy reference xD
I love this so much. The strategy, the subtle Xi jin trolling. Chefs kiss
I really admire your openness to try out different foods and different way of eating things! I found it really interesting to see all the different offerings. It's great that they eat all parts of the animal to really make the most out of the animal.
Loved this video, the new color and format is good.
