Real authentic Chinese food can range from amazingly delicious to downright weird. Whenever I'm at a Chinese dinner or banquet, there will be some amazing dishes and there will always be a couple of weird unpalatable dishes that are supposed to be "good for your health"... as the Chinese also believe in the concept of Food is Medicine.
True. I avoid the ‘weird’. Sometimes the names of the dishes are weirder than what it actually is. Just don’t tell me what it is…if it looks and smells good…I’ll probably eat it.
@@Jamaicafunk You compare Chinese 5000 cultural food to a sub-multicultural stone, cave age 400 years food? That is why I post so much BS about your videos. 1, 99% of your peeps ( Americans don't care about your video on China.) 2, all 99% of Americans only know about ( egg roll, chop suey, ). By the way, Chop Suey was made to serve the Irish foremen with a special sauce if you know what I mean by that ( special sauce)!!! ). Good try Hopsing!
People think Fortune cookie is a Chinese thing but it was invented in American. Never seen a fortune cookie in China.
Correct.
I believe fortune cookie is originally from Hong Kong
@@papagiorgio23 California
Your university food looks so good!!!
Yea man. Don’t sleep on university canteen food!🍲
dont know about the taste, but it looks like a balanced healthy meal for sure.
@@handaxia1251 Taste great too. If it didn’t… I wouldn’t eat it.
@@Jamaicafunkuniversity cafeteria food use to be so cheap, easily get what you had under 8 rmb. I wonder how much the average student spends there. Your vlogs are getting better, showing life in China with boots on the ground.
They probably spend less than I do. They have a lot of choices both on & off campus.@@penname.
Love the way you put this video together. Very smooth.
Thanks man. 🙏🏾
Wow that Chinese style Nasi Campur (Mixed Rice) in your university canteen looks tasty 👍👍👍.
Great video!!! I love McDonald's in China. Canteens in Schools here in China are pretty decent, cheap clean and tasty as the food is for Students and Teachers. That fortune cookie told the truth hahaha.
Haha Let's hope so!
In term of Purchasing Power Parity GDP, China is about twice the size of the US. Although the Exchange Rate based GDP, US > China, 25 T$ : 17 T$
A great video!
🙏🏾Thanks.
3:51 dude that's insane 18$ for panda express. You can get that with more quantity for 8-9$ dollar NYC Chinatown (2-3 items lunch boxes) Chinese restaurants.
Chinatown would be a good idea next time I return to NY. I didn’t think of it 🙏🏾
Chinatown isn't so cheap anymore too, sadly. There's been at least two or three price surges since 2020, from food, grocery to haircut. Nowadays is just the okay range.
that's the reality in NYC vs China
Why a Chinese would eat factory fast food in China is a mystery.
I guess you’ve never been to a KFC in China.
next we need an american fast food in china vs american fast food in US... xD
McDonald’s IS American fast food in China.
//*The Chinese food you eat in China has different prices in different cities. First-tier cities must be very expensive.
I love how China McDonald's has congee 😄😄
Both McDonald’s and KFC are very smart about their international menus.
Very interesting video for me on which I have some thoughts then I’d like to add a 3rd country, Saudi Arabia where I taught English for many years. I’m not a big McD frequenter other than the rare fish sandwich, salad or coffee. Something I missed in general in the video was the access to fish; I tend to eat lots of fish and veggies, not beef, poultry or pork so the Smoke Barbecue offering really appealed to me except for the meat. I get Chinese fried rice and veggies on occasion here in the States. I’m sure I could find some things at the Canteen to eat on a regular basis, especially the rice and veggies. All that campus canteen food for around $3 is hard to beat, yet in the cafeteria on the compound where I stayed in Saudi we were offered 3 all one could eat meals a day for free. There were usually 2 or 3 main meals for each day.They had 2 cafeterias, one for Americans and one for non Americans though one could eat in either. Most of the food was cooked by Filipinos and Indians. There was also a small snack bar with typical American snack bar food for a reasonable price. At that time I was eating meat and I absolutely loved the Indian cooks’ curry chicken and rice. Man, that stuff was spicy.
Finally, while walking recently in an empty mall here in MIchigan on a cold day, a woman asked if I could give her some money. I gave her $2. Later when I left the mall I saw her sitting outside as she had been kicked out of the mall by security for soliciting money. She asked if I could give her a ride not far away. I took her to our agreed location at which point she started asking me to take her to a place much farther away and she asked me for more money. When I would do neither, copping an attitude she got defiant and would not exit my car. I finally got across to her that yes, she sure as heck would be getting out of my car. I added that I had given her $2, a ride and she hadn’t even said thank you for either. As for Saudi food, it’s very much like Middle Eastern food and I like it a lot. Even here near, Michigan Middle Eastern Food is very popular nowadays. In fact, when I returned from Saudi and found Americans eating tons of humus I was surprised. If Saudis eat traditional style it’s only with the right hand, but of course many use knives and forks, etc.
It’s great to see you on the ground factual experience of China.
Of the good, the bad, the ugly, we get daily doses of the bad and the ugly of China.
May I suggest that you just bring us only the good of your China experience.
🙏🏾 I bring the truth of my experiences.
Negative videos for China are clearly anti-chinese, mostly from American and British youtubers just want to bash China and manipulate people who watch, their hypocrisy definitely disgust me.
@@papagiorgio23 negative videos create negative people. White media has done the same to Black people for generations.
The last time I was at McDonald’s
In LA, it cost me $11 bucks for a meal
sounds about right
I'm not going to comment about American food vs. Chinese food. Meat-wise, I prefer our Southern grill. Chinese make better noodles for sure. What I'm really sure is the following: Chinese McDonald's > American McDonald's.
😂 No argument there. ✊🏾Bring on the Big Breakfast!
No offence, but that "help wanted" guy really give me a culture shock.
I’m sure.
OMG the big breakfast still exist, it was discontinued in Australia in the late 90s
😢Why??
@@Jamaicafunk It did sell well. Think its due to production of having to freshly scramble eggs on the spot compared to fried eggs that can be done in bulk and easily stored in those heating containers. It's a shame as it was the one thing I was excited to get during breakfast
@@azzamatic4190 That makes sense. Drag.
More sugar & salt in the Chinese American food, no wonder many of us have health issues! Our fast food is a big contributer on salt & sugar too!
Stay healthy & continue the enjoying the foods in China!
Also remember… this is the s**t they predominantly place in Black communities.
Bet you don't miss that
Panda Express is a rip-off, 18 bucks for that ... Good vlog though.
Definitely a rip off.
Looks so good!! Put on a Kg just looking!😂
😂 Definitely.
As a Chinese, I have to say that Chinese food in America doesn't look bad, I would like to have a try if I have chance to the US. $18 is a bit pricey, but that's steak, and I think a big spoonful of steak would cost at least $10 in China also.
Possibly. Just remember food in the US also has a lot of unhealthy additives
Gotta have that hot Doujiang at McD.
Is that the dough stick thing?
@@Jamaicafunk It's actually the hot soybean milk, instead of hot coffee. I never liked that Youtiao dough stick, it's too oily.
There are many hot beverages in China that resemble hot porridge, millet, or thinned drinkable oatmeal that paired well with most breakfasts. My go to were the hot and sweetend soy bean milk and a few ji dan guan bing, egg filled savory pan cakes with meat inside.But not from McDs.
I thought food was epensive here in Australia, that plate of Chinese diaspora food that you got would be about $11 here
One of many reasons I had to get out of New York.
@@Jamaicafunk i'm not far behind you. Only 5 years ago food cost half that. We're suffering from Obama's pivot to Asia here too...
What are the prices in Chinese restaurants over there? Is the food cheaper because it's in the university?
$4-5 can get you a very decent meal in China. it's 28-35RMB.
Actually 26rmb is already quite expensive for students,15rmb($2)would be a more common price
Shame!
Let see that is a hard question. American food.... rat meat steak , cockroach fries, cool-aid, grape wine ? And China with thousands of years culinary........well, it's very hard, my guess it's the American junk food by a nose.
Careful. In some parts of China, particularly in southern provinces like Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, and Jiangxi, rats are consumed as food. The meat of bamboo rats is popular and can be stewed in soy sauce, used in soups, or barbecued.
@@Jamaicafunkdid you try fried insect? :) considering insect are the easiest critter to farm, it might just be the food of space colonies, a taste of the future! :)
@@lagrangewei I've seen people knocking cicadas from trees in Tianjin. I laughed when someone told me they eat them... Turns out they have a lot of protein... Nah...I'm not trying it.
doggies win super.....
