    I'd eaten in a couple of places you showed in Hanoi a couple of years before you, and totally agree with you on those. Living in Wellington, I've visited Auckland often, and have also eaten in a few places you've reviewed and again agree with what you said. So I'm looking forward to visiting Guangzhou and eating at places you've reviewed here as well. I knew Google was blocked and they didn't have Über, but didn't know what to use instead. Now I do. I have WeChat on my phone, but do you really need a Chinese number for your food order, or just WeChat, on any provider?

      That's so cool! Sounds like we have similar tastebuds 😁🙌❤️ We're making a video about what you need to know before traveling to China and will cover stuff about apps in more detail there than what we did in this video and the description section too so hope you'll find it useful if you're planning a trip there! 🙂 Yea unfortunately it seemed like at the start needed to enter in a Chinese mobile number then didn't need to do it for any other restaurants we used the app for after that. Most restaurants still have regular menus too though, you just need to ask for it (if you're anything other than Asian looking I think they just give it to you lol as that's what we saw in other places when the rare Westerner would wander in) But since we look Chinese it's expected people use the app to order. You don't have to pay through it though (you can't anyway unless you had a Chinese bank account which foreigners don't and can't get) so you just pay cash and for the menu stuff you just say you're a foreigner so don't have it and they will have old school menus floating around. We learnt the hard way haha but was good to experience it too. In other places we just say we're foreigners and could we have a menu instead 🙂

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  5 років тому +1

      Haha we were thinking seemed excessive and prob not great for the environment coz so much plastic 😅 but I think the reason they do it is for time efficiency for them and also to show the customer it's clean. They send all their plates and cups etc out to contracted cleaners and they send them back like this is what we heard!

    • @mariaandbryan
      @mariaandbryan 5 років тому

      Peter and Yen totally agree on the environmental piece

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  5 років тому +1

      We didn't think much about it at the time but later we were like.. damn.. they must have so many customers every single day and the amount of these packed up plates and cups must add up heaps! @.@ didn't see it at too many restaurants though.. but funny thing was we still saw people doing the traditional thing of cleaning their teacups and stuff so guess people still don't trust the cleanliness 😅 or maybe they just like a hot cup 🤔 I'm really not too sure of that tradition lol

    Hey Peter and Yen! So great to see this food tour of Guangzhou China! That was wild at that place you had to order all the dishes on the phone app, it must have been challenging if you weren't from there. Mad props for sticking it out and ordering. The pork dumplings, pork bun, egg custard, sticky rice all looked so delish, and a nice dim sum spread! The Goose and sauce looked so interesting and the fish and sauce looked really good! We would order that for sure! The wonton noodles looked great and not a bad price for $2.80. That herbal tea is great that it works wonders for colds and you grew up drinking it Peter! Beautiful view of the river and great video! Much love!

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  5 років тому

      Thanks heaps you two! 😊🙌 Yes China is definitely not the easiest place if you can't read or speak Chinese (unless you're in Shanghai or Beijing) so luckily between the two of us we know the basics and could scrape by! 😅 It's so worth it though.. ridiculously good food and incredible sights and historic places too that we'll share in other videos 🙂👍

    Wowsers! I've heard a lot of restaurants don't do menus anymore. But, do you need a Chinese bank account to pay using WeChat as well? Ermahhgerrd that Char Siew though.. I could skip everything for egg custard tarts and just eat 2 of those. Peter - do you speak fluent Mandarin as well as Shanghainese? Far out, I'm always down for a bowl of Won Ton noodles. Currently eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast and damn near about to throw it on the floor watching this.

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  5 років тому

      Yea most places we had to purposely ask for a menu and ended up just saying we're foreigners so we could avoid going through WeChat to make it easier for us lolol. Even if you order via WeChat, you don't have to pay through it at restaurants, can just still pay cash but you do need a Chinese mobile number though so that will be the hassle since it's not easy getting Chinese sims anymore! Towards the end of our trip we made a what you need to know video so hopefully will help others out too that make it there!
      Peter speaks pretty ok Mandarin, it improved a lot while we were in China but it's like pretty child level lolol enough to get by! His Shanghainese is super rusty and not as good as his Mandarin.. pretty much goes off what he remembered as a kid which is pretty impressive!

Peter super loved the goose, too fatty for me 😅 and yea you really realise just how much you rely on Google apps when you get to a place like China and all of it is blocked 😅 the struggles we had with our VPN too.. used Nord which is suppose to be the best, they advertise how they work in China and other UA-camrs promoted it but we found it was useless in China! Worked for a few days then no more for the rest of the time.. thankfully we had my phone that used a sim with no restrictions so we could get a workaround by downloading files to phone then transferring to laptop and doing this workaround set up but it was all such a hassle and constantly stopped working 😅 whenever we could get a few hours of Internet we'd upload but it was rare so we were lucky! 😅

Def requires Chinese bank account which foreigners can't get but you can still use the restaurant apps for ordering (if you have a Chinese mobile number 😅) we then just pay by cash. For ease of things when we went to other restaurants and couldn't be bothered using the apps to order we would just ask for an old school menu and say we're foreigners 😅 and yea Chinese food in China itself really is next level amazing!
