hahaha, Jason is adorable and a little shy. when Amy was talking over the noodle soup, I can honestly see Jason was fighting hard to resist the temptation and can't wait any longer for his bowl to come and dig into that sensation noodle, lmao!!!
Welcome to my hometown Amy! Jason is indeed a perfect guide! The food selection is just perfect and we local people would recommend almost exact same set of places he brought you to and agree with every word he said! Can't wait for the next episode!
Huge thanks to Jason for being my food guide! If you wanna learn more about Guilin or get in touch with Jason you can check out his 小红书RED page @9474843654
You are so lucky to meet Jason who can take you around! Big thanks to Jason, and as always, thank you for the food adventure, my eyes are drunk with the food scenery each time watching your posts😍😍
Amy I’m British Chinese but only been to China once for work . Thank you fir filling in the huge “gap “ I have. Love your videos. They really are valuable fir people like me. Thank you sooooooo much.
I’m Australian Chinese…so I know what you mean when you say “gap”…I moved to Hong Kong to fill it. Chinese culture, history, food and its people are so interesting and diverse. I’ve fallen in love with it even more since I’ve been here and by extension I’ve gotten to know myself a bit more.
Yes I know what you’re saying. Im New Zealand Chinese since the pandemic I haven’t been to China in 4 years…ah, I miss it so so much! So thank you Amy for making these videos fro ppl like us!
anyone got the same feeling like me? That Jason is a so sweet and kind and natural person to be a local guidance, make this china food hunting so interesting
Jason For the Win. I am Cantonese (literally the East of Guang whille Guilin is West of Guang), and I feel like a tourist. I have tried rice noodles all my life and yet none of these. Awesome
I’m American Cantonese and the only rice noodles I’ve had and absolutely love is Gnao Yook Chow Fun (wide billowy rice noodles stir fried with tender beef, onions, soy sauce, etc). Never had these types of noodles and would love to try them- they looked delicious!
I love ur channel so much! My entire family is Chinese but we've never been to China and when I showed my grandparents this video, they got a HUGE shock. They're pretty old so seeing someone like you speak Chinese with such a good accent really shocked them
I can see the sticky rice burger being a big hit. A dollar for a meal that you can easily eat on the go without any utensils. Great for busy people looking to fuel up on a budget.
This looks wonderful! The horse meat noodle I’m a little wary of-in Western culture, horse isn’t one of the normally eaten proteins. When it’s eaten in Western literature (as in Christopher Moore’s “Fool”) it’s a “protein of last resort” in that the characters’ rations are too low to continue, so it’s eat what can be eaten or die from starvation.
@@CupContender 😂😂 i'm not the only one who saw the chemistry between these too, she should date a Chinese man as she loves the food and speaks the language well too lol
Ok Amy, you have to make it a rule that you can’t post videos shorter than 20 mins! I love your videos, I wish they were 30 mins long😂😂😂, watching you from London ❤️
Been anticipating this episode for years as a Guilinese, but somehow it’s so emotional to watch you wandering around in the hoods I grew up in. A lot of memories are flushing back and make me even more homesick. Anyhoo hope you are enjoying my beautiful hometown!
Yay! I've been excited to visit Guilin for many many years and so happy I can finally share videos from this beautiful city. One of my favourite cities in China I have to say and I indeed did choose to extend my stay there - for an extra 2 weeks! I think that speaks for itself hahaha
Really enjoyed this video a lot. Really thanks to Jason, bumping into your subscriber, he really did introduced you to so many true local and delicious food. My mouth watering seeing all the delicious food and espcially the sticky rice burger looked out of this world. And like Amy said, each rice noodle were different from the others and they looked delicious, but the first and second rice noodles look so amazing. Then the dessert at the end. I really think you should stay in Guilin longer and maybe get Jason's or more locals recommendation to what more to eat there.
Been watching you for almost 3 years now. I think I wrote you once to tell you how much I loved your videos. I just want to say it again cause each time I watch your videos throughout the years I keep telling myself how much you are so loveable and knowledgeable with chinese culture. Seriously every time i watch your freaking videos that goes in my head! Thank you and hope your videos reach more ppl so that you can grow more subscribers. Cause you are awesome and do excellent work I wish ppl could see. Hugs. P.s. I also like your boyfriend. I hope you two get married! That long wait for him paid off :)
@Blondie in China - Whilst you're in Guilin please consider visiting Liuzhou City, it's about an hour by road or even quicker by train from Guilin. It has one of the best night-views in China, it's a spectacular place, some of the best riverside green park areas that you'll find, - and has even more variety of noodles than Guilin does believe it or not , it's also one of the key motor-manufacturing cities in China, is about as green and clean as a Chinese city gets (scores in the top for water quality) , it's unique in so many aspects and deserves showcasing i.m.o. it's simply a super interesting place to go visit!!
Taro/yam paste is actually a very traditional Teochew / Chaoshan dessert as well; sometimes we add coconut milk (not so much as in the video but just a bit), and instead of lotus seeds we use gingko nuts. Pumpkin paste is sometimes added into the mix as well, and traditionally the taro/yam paste is fried in pork lard before it is served warm or hot (lard sounds strange in a dessert but it is actually very good and a common practice in some traditional Chinese desserts/pastries).
HI， Amy， I am so glad you enjoyed your trip to my hometown - Guilin. I spent my childhood in Guilin city and moved to Guangdong 30 years ago. The moment when you were enjoying Jiu Gang rice noodles, I was visiting my mother nearby, every time I came back home, the very first thing I must do is have a big bowl of rice noodles in the same place. What a small world!
Love your videos! Being born and raised in Canada, I never had any desire to return to the motherland, but you've changed my mind! I'm definitely adding Guilin to my list!
@@taotao98103 hahaha even though I’m born in Canada I’m still very much Chinese and grew up in a Chinese household lol. I simply meant I never had the desire to visit China until Amy’s videos
@@b1uedestiny But most Chinese households would always talk about going back to their hometown, experience hometown Chinese NewYear，gather with old relatives, how to distribute gifts.
What a refreshing cameo by Jason! And the two little girls are captivated by Amy 4:26 and 4:36. The lucaifen definitely looks mouth-watering! Slurp slurp 😋😋
I just tried lucaifen for the first time a couple weeks ago, at a Guilin-style noodle shop that recently opened in my city (in the US). I'm glad I saw this video before I went, because none of the reviewers on Yelp seemed to know what to do with the cup of broth served on the side! I'm already obsessed... I've been there three times in two weeks.
I lived for a year in Guilin 1996-97, I wonder if I'd still recognize any of my usual spots if I went there today :) I still have dreams about a sichuan restaurant there, it had the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life. The cruise to Yangshuo is also well worth it, the scenery is so beautiful. Wish I had taken more pictures but it was the days before cameras on phones :)
Oh wow! Well stay tuned to my channel for the next few weeks because there is a lot of Guilin/Yangshuo content coming your way, including the cruise to Yangshuo. Interested to see how it compares with the Guilin/Yangshuo you experienced all those years ago!
@@BlondieinChina actually want to go during this month; but very complicate traveling around china these days, vírus, quarentene everywhere, testing, seems will never end the control.
How serendipitous that you met Jason! Yet another amazing video from you, Amy 👏👏👏 that taro lotus dessert has my name written all over it!!! NEED. NOW! 🤤
This brings me sooo many memories of when I studied abroad in china and travelled to Guilin and had Guilin mifen for breakfast/dinner for 3 days straight!
Hey there,I am from Chongqing Municipality but haven't been to this province which is not very far from us. I've seen many things quite similar to our region like the selection of spices and the market, and a part of the style of noodles, though feeling something is a bit off huh huh. They even speak the same dialect as we do, if I remember right. good work, first time here watching your video and I even grow more acquainted with my own country thanks to your works. Greetings from Portugal!
Correct me if I'm wrong. I heard foreigners could visit Macau from mainland and return mostly hassle-free, if they have long-term visa from mainland and live there. Maybe Amy could give Macau a go, visa free for Aussie.
Been to Guilin and Yangshuo twice, took lots of great photos. Especially up the nearby rice patties on the mountain tops for that sunrise shots. Climbed those Karst mountains. You have chosen one of my favorite places in China. 😊
Blondie's Guilin video TORMENTS me with hunger, the dishes are superb, I want to Star Trek energize & transport myself to Guilin right now, great video!
馋死我了一边看一边哭（大神来给我翻成英文） So jealous! Watching and drooling and weeping at the same time... ('cause I'm pretty much stuck outside of China. Power translators, translate this to proper English for me.)
When I was little, my dad used to put hot water into his bowl after a meal. The reason was that he got to scrap ever bit of oil into his body, so nothing is wasted, and then, there is now very little efford to clean the bowl. It's like you throw the kitchen waste into your belly. Less soap needed, and less waste.
❤ 2:33 Jason, our food guide. ❤ We hope you both stay in touch. You both are great together. 👍 We hope that you both could do loads more video. I am so grateful that I stumbled upon your videos. I have subscribed, saved, shared, and enjoyed your video especially this one. I'm part Chinese, and just started to learn about the chinese language and culture. As a kid, I was bullied relentlessly for being ethically Chinese. Now I am older, I am so proud of my heritage. I'm learning Chinese Mandarin via the Internet and your videos are a great source of practice and inspiration. Ps. Please please say thanks to Jason for us all too for this awesome video and ask him if he'd be interested in doing you tube of China too. I'd definitely subscribed to his channel too. Once again thank you so very much for your advice. I'm following it all.
You are right about Chinese being a tonal language. My husband is from Guangdong, I can speak baby Cantonese. Tsi gung and chi gung ( my interpretation of how they are phonetically spelt, and probably not correct ). A tissue and a spoon. I asked for a tissue….and got a spoon. Gwai, there’s like seven tones that mean different things but sound the bloody same to me - some are deeper toned, but I have a deep voice anyway!!! I am a gwai pau (ghost/white woman), this item is ho gwai (expensive), Fong hai gwai doe (put it there), I can’t remember the others, one is a cupboard I think.
What a lucky you are Amy! with so many of your networking UA-cam's friends. Your video is something nice to remember about Guilin and Yang Shuo, we have been there for 3 times. 👍🏻🙏🏻😍
Well done and so flavorful. Rice noodles are one of the tastiest and well-known foods in China. Guilin and Yangshuo are remarkable places to visit. The natural limestone scenery is famous. There is a night show of local performers with ethnic groups who use the River Li as a backdrop, and it is breathtaking to see. The songs, lights and blurring between a ‘stage’ and water itself are remarkable. Only thing to keep in mind is that local, Chinese audiences are not as quiet or considerate as those in the West. There will be smoking, chatter and loud noises in this show that can distract you, but if you concentrate on the show it is well worth the effort.❤
Cheers on finally getting to visit Guilin! Such a famous and pretty place with those karst mountains. Didn't know there was such a large variety mifen though 😄
Guilin rice noodles has got to be one of my favorite Chinese dishes. The 卤菜粉 you had looks incredible! Better than anything I had in Guilin, now I’ve got to try that store.😍😍

好勁。👍
首先好欣賞Amy 是很勇於嘗試和接受新事物，很開放迎接事物型。同時間總是吸引差不多的人同行似的。👍
Jason 是真的新認識吧！這是拍攝的方法之一，物識當地的人，幫忙帶領介紹當地特色的、出名的或是地道的什麼、什麼。
奇妙是Amy 的特質總是跟差不多的，而差不多共有的特質又能互動著、傳遞著、和散發著，即是令其特質深厚著似的。
很欣賞Jason, 很認真的，事先了解好食物的歷史來由和經過（已知也是想好要分享吧！不是帶個人來，說聲這個囉！那個啦！），再告訴和分享出來。👍✨ 相信Jason 的含蓄感是對Amy 因新相識的一份禮貌，但很願意付出的，只是幫忙（雖然不知道大家的協議是怎樣）。但能送贈附加價值在其中吧！
桂林米粉的質地、特性，所以只有這裡才有的，物種上的知識，來由。（好好準備了的逞現來的。好有心。）👍
所以與誰同行多重要！👍 （事實係好明顯的，真的。）
全部都是我喜歡的。🤤
桂林山水甲天下。😍 想去。。。食米粉，甜點，糯米。。。😁✨
Ah~ what a wonderful experience and so great to make a new friend in this new city as well!!
Thank you Jason for showing Amy/us around Guilin!!
Hope there will be more episodes from Guilin. Everything looks so perfect.
Many many episodes to come! 6 in fact hahah
Talk about being at the right place at the right time, Jason had a day he will never forget.
As a Cantonese I’ve never been to GuangXi , I can’t believe foods are actually so cheap there for locals .
在廣東，別說大城市，就是一些偏遠地區的城鎮，桂林米粉都是最低10塊錢，而且一點都不正宗，不好吃。
@@justinlet4974 我老家五线城市都要15块钱吃一碗扣肉粉
桂林本地米粉一般5塊二兩，5.5三兩，19年的價格，不過聽說這兩年沒變化

Blondie's Guilin video TORMENTS me with hunger, the dishes are superb, I want to Star Trek energize & transport myself to Guilin right now, great video!
你好！Amy 关注你的视频好久了，我是桂林的在英国，谢谢你的视频缓解了我的思乡之情。如果你去阳朔的话可以试试油茶，斑鱼火锅。期待你的下个视频。
Everything looks so delicious. I need some of that right now.
馋死我了一边看一边哭（大神来给我翻成英文）
So jealous! Watching and drooling and weeping at the same time... ('cause I'm pretty much stuck outside of China. Power translators, translate this to proper English for me.)
When I was little, my dad used to put hot water into his bowl after a meal. The reason was that he got to scrap ever bit of oil into his body, so nothing is wasted, and then, there is now very little efford to clean the bowl. It's like you throw the kitchen waste into your belly. Less soap needed, and less waste.
❤ 2:33 Jason, our food guide. ❤ We hope you both stay in touch. You both are great together. 👍 We hope that you both could do loads more video. I am so grateful that I stumbled upon your videos.
I have subscribed, saved, shared, and enjoyed your video especially this one.
I'm part Chinese, and just started to learn about the chinese language and culture. As a kid, I was bullied relentlessly for being ethically Chinese. Now I am older, I am so proud of my heritage.
I'm learning Chinese Mandarin via the Internet and your videos are a great source of practice and inspiration.
Ps. Please please say thanks to Jason for us all too for this awesome video and ask him if he'd be interested in doing you tube of China too. I'd definitely subscribed to his channel too.
Once again thank you so very much for your advice. I'm following it all.
Lovely trip to this lovely place!
You are right about Chinese being a tonal language. My husband is from Guangdong, I can speak baby Cantonese. Tsi gung and chi gung ( my interpretation of how they are phonetically spelt, and probably not correct ). A tissue and a spoon. I asked for a tissue….and got a spoon. Gwai, there’s like seven tones that mean different things but sound the bloody same to me - some are deeper toned, but I have a deep voice anyway!!! I am a gwai pau (ghost/white woman), this item is ho gwai (expensive), Fong hai gwai doe (put it there), I can’t remember the others, one is a cupboard I think.
5k more guys until 300K! LET'S GOOOOOO!

What a lucky you are Amy! with so many of your networking UA-cam's friends. Your video is something nice to remember about Guilin and Yang Shuo, we have been there for 3 times. 👍🏻🙏🏻😍
Guilin is beautiful
Very local restaurant, I can eat mouthwatering sour spicy noodle all day long. Jason nice tour guide
广西有三大米粉。桂林米粉，南宁老友粉，柳州螺蛳粉。
其他还有一些不错的米粉，钦州猪脚粉，生榨米粉，防城港卷粉，这些都是出色的米粉，很好吃。
老友粉还有一种炒老友粉，很好吃。我很喜欢。
螺蛳粉也有一种炒螺蛳粉。
Nice. On my list of places to go.
Jason好温柔呀。
Well done and so flavorful. Rice noodles are one of the tastiest and well-known foods in China. Guilin and Yangshuo are remarkable places to visit. The natural limestone scenery is famous. There is a night show of local performers with ethnic groups who use the River Li as a backdrop, and it is breathtaking to see. The songs, lights and blurring between a ‘stage’ and water itself are remarkable. Only thing to keep in mind is that local, Chinese audiences are not as quiet or considerate as those in the West. There will be smoking, chatter and loud noises in this show that can distract you, but if you concentrate on the show it is well worth the effort.❤
Jason is an amazing guide! 👏🏼
Cheers on finally getting to visit Guilin! Such a famous and pretty place with those karst mountains. Didn't know there was such a large variety mifen though 😄
I had no idea either! And apparently what I tried was only the very very tip of the iceberg
Guilin rice noodles has got to be one of my favorite Chinese dishes. The 卤菜粉 you had looks incredible! Better than anything I had in Guilin, now I’ve got to try that store.😍😍
OMGG yes!! been waiting for this to happen!
Try Laoyou rice noodle in Nanning!
Jason is the best!
I love the idea of adding some soup to the goodies in the bottom of the bowl.. ❤❤
