hey thanks for putting a smile on our faces, really enjoy your videos! sending some love❤🙏
Thank you so much 🙏❤️ this helps us a lot
You got to make sure you dip the chopsticks into the hotpot to kill the germs from the raw meat
喜欢你们的视频❤
竹笋倒进锅里煮😅而不是用筷子夹着煮

Since the meat slices are usually very thin when eating hot pot. When the soup is boiling, you only need to put in the beef for 10-15 seconds, pork for 20-30 seconds, vegetables for around 3 minutes. If you order chicken, they usually come in chunks. You might throw them in the pot and let it boil for around 3 minutes. And use that big metal spoon thing with holes more often to fish out the lost items. Hope you guys will enjoy hot pot even more next time. Also, the reason they put in sesame oil in the condiment is because the sesame oil can neutralize some of the spice so you can eat more.
芝麻油是平衡热度，保护消化道的。
@@sophiexu7756 他说的没毛病，降温只是其中一个功能，芝麻油确实可以减轻辣度，更容易入口。
Watching their videos made me feel sorry. Although they have left, I hope that no matter where they go in the future, they should make some travel plans in advance. Otherwise, they will just be sightseeing and waste their time and money without really enjoying it.
I'm glad you made a brave attempt. Here is a little tip. After touching raw meat with chopsticks, it is best to put it in the pot and cook it for a few seconds before using chopsticks. All locals do this to avoid diarrhea. Or you can ask the restaurant for an extra pair of chopsticks dedicated to raw meat.
You also can use the 🥄 already there.
In fact, you are usually given a metal clip or a pair of extraordinarily long chopsticks when eating hot pot. These are used to put raw meat into the pan.
China has thousands of delicious foods to choose from.
A foreign friend once said he wanted to eat all the Chinese cuisine and make a video, but two years have passed and he hasn't left Sichuan Province yet
😂😂😂
很多都是街边小吃并不是那么好吃。
😂
@@LH1xx 這不挺正常的嗎主要是個人感覺。
😂😂😂😂😂😂
要是有个当地人教你们怎么吃火锅就完美了，无论如何，你们的第一次火锅体验都很棒，干得好！
对呀！煮肉和涮肉天差地别。
这里的服务员不专业无主动告知关注老外客的用餐体验
@@jasonni8537 你专业，你来，我听听你用英语怎么讲涮火锅的。
@@jasonni8537人家是服务生，你想要一个双语服务生？你的要求合理吗？而且顾客没有要求，服务生就认为人家什么都不懂，是不是也不礼貌。
確實有當地人指導一下會比較好，但又何妨，他們是 Two Mad Explorers，就是想自己探險、嘗試。😅
建議一般外國遊客第一次吃火鍋，要嘛先做功課，要嘛先交一個當地人朋友。
23:51 The yellow "parcel" is called "fortune bag". The skin is fried thin egg or dry tofu. Inside can be anything as dumpling does.
This tofu bag is called a lucky bag in China, and the Chinese characters on it represent blessing luck（福）. It's not offal inside, it's pork stuffing. Hope you enjoy your trip in China. Since you are in Chengdu, I hope you can go to Chongqing. It is a more magical city. 8D vision, a new first-tier city built on the mountain.
it's amazing how she insist it's intestine, etc crap
肯定不是内脏，有可能添加鱼籽或者豆制品。
Go to Chongqing. You won't regret it
福袋大部分都是鱼籽
The beef is placed in the vertical plate in order to prove that the beef is very fresh and has not been watered.
Amazing!
Exactly! Those meat which is not fresh cannot stick on the plate.
我就是在找这个评论。
看得我这个四川人好着急 真希望在现场教他们吃😂
I wish I was there to help you guys how to eat hotpot 😊
me too🤣🤣
北京人表示同意
我这个火锅爱好者 看着好着急 哈哈
Apart from meat slices & bamboo, you may consider tofu block, tofu strip, tofu roll, pork/fish ball, Chinese cabbage, bokchoy, potato slice, lotus, corn, woodear mushroom, mushroom & noodles. If you are feeling adventurous, go for various offals like intestines, livers, stripes, etc.
One thing I like to eat in China is: there is no sale tax or service charge on top of the food. 😂😂😂
tax is included, 13% generally
nor the tips
There IS a service fee at some high class restaurants. And water and napkins are not free at most places
@@lentostinato I can afford ¥2 napkins but not 18% gratuities charge. 😅😅😅
水是免费的啦，纸巾可能不是，但是都可以自带。服务费一般在酒店里的餐厅会收取。
应该点一瓶 唯e豆奶饮料 火锅标配解辣的
是的，吃火锅喝牛奶最解辣
王老吉也很好，不过一般我都配可乐😅
Finally, I've seen a blogger who used the right dipping sauce for their first hot pot experience. You guys are awesome. I've seen many other foreign bloggers eat directly from the spicy pot on their first try, and that can be extremely spicy. The correct way is to dip the food in the sauce after taking it out of the spicy pot. That's the proper and delicious way to enjoy it.BTW, the tomato pot doesn't need this step.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for watching
It's the right sauce but then you also need to mix it well
People tend to make up their own dipping sauce; there's usually a table full of different condiments and sauces so the diners can help themselves, but you weren't to know, hence the waitress did that for you.
As soon as the meat changes its colour, it's cooked, usually less than a minute.
Apart from the vegetable and noodles, pick some seafood too next time, such as prawn and squid.
Love your videos 👍.
7:39 The big orange chunk is liquid beef tallow marinated with tons of ingredients. It is the source of flavor, secret of sichuan hotpot.
Thank you 🙏
enjoy. it's better to choose Mild Mild Spicy for you to taste Sichuan Ma-La.
Fortunately, you chose a yuan yang pot, so the spiciness won't be too overwhelming right away. You should wait until all the base ingredients you see have completely melted and the pot starts boiling before you begin eating. Different foods require different cooking times. For example, thinly sliced meats cook quickly. You can use chopsticks to hold the meat in the broth for a short time, and once the redness disappears, you can take it out to eat. Cooking it for too long will make it tough and not as tasty. Visibly, you both look much more relaxed than when you first arrived. Your smiles are radiant. Thank you for visiting China.
Hotpot is amazing. ❤ You've received so much advice in the comments so i am sure you'll be pros next time you try hotpot. 😅
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW THIS VIDEO WAS GREAT! THANKS FOR SHARING THE CHINESE CULTURE WITH THE WORLD
❤️
Capsaicin is soluble in oil, so be sure to use a dipping sauce with sesame oil for Szechuan hot pot, which reduces the burning sensation from the chili peppers and delivers a multilayered texture.
you guys are so brave the hot pot in Chengdu is classical spicy style and you guys are incredible 🎉
❤️
Hot pot is very enjoyable if you know what to do and order. It’s fun and delicious, more enjoyable the more people.
There are two spoons next to the pot, one slotted and one normal. You can use them for hotpot.
I am from Guizhou. Welcome to my hometown to taste sour soup and hot pot
Sounds great!
@@TwoMadExplorersguizhou is a mountainous area, only 7.5% of flat area. The highest bridge in the world is in Guizhou, I love the scenery there! Maybe consider a roadtrip in guizhou~
I'm glad you guys are tying this. I really wish i could been here to help y'all😂
❤️
I really appreciate the Chinese girl trying to speak English to help.
Yes she was amazing 🙏
@@TwoMadExplorers Why didn't you bring a translation machine when you came to China? Is it difficult to install a translation app on your phone?
@@mikdeng9862even though they could translate everything, i think they want to show other westerners that they can still get by without a translator.
@@mikdeng9862 说实话这女生的英语也实在太差了，就几句简单英语也说到支支吾吾。
@@MacrosFTW This is also the reason why I don't like Westerners.
Next time when you do hotpot, order a meat combo and a veg combo which basically include everything. Remember the name of the ones you specially like and order more next time. You can also try mushroom combo if you like. Don't need to order spicy soup base. Just tomato or other non spicy is good. As others already mentioned, dip thin meat in the soup for 10 seconds. Vegetable can be cooked a little longer like 5 minutes. The better way to eat hotpot is to have more people, You can order a lot of varieties. Everybody can try everything. Very fun.
you guys should order some noodles to absorb all the goodness in the broth, it's devine 😍
You two made me so hungry by watching the video 😭
❤️
I strongly recommend doing hotpot w/ cold beer or hard liquor. you were missing out 😉
i did a similar hot pot thing in thailand when i first visited back in 2018. i too had no idea of what i was doing but i watched some of the locals to get an idea. still was very confusing but fun & tasty. my expierience i had a buffet of veg seafood & meat to choose with a hot pot of broth & a cooker thing for the meat also. wasnt sure of how long to cook it all either. it was like $5 usd & i ate sooo much..almost had to be wheeled outta there by staff..)
泰国菜别具一格，但中国火锅更加家常，更加常见和容易制作。
Very good video, I wish you a happy time in China! I hope you will find different surprises in China! Welcome friendly foreign friends to travel to China!
Actually, we put a little bit of everything at one time, meat, lotus, bamboo, tofu, meatballs, stomach... we wait them to be cooked and take them into the dipping sauce. Then we add something else into the pot. It's also good to add some broth into the dipping sauce(use the two spoons, filter spoon upon another to get clear soup)
This tofu is made into a lucky bag, and the Chinese characters on it represent luck.
福不是幸运吧，应该代表着美好祝愿的意思。
for vegetable, you should get lotus roots, bean sprouts, boy choy , cabbage, and potato
bok choy, bro. And I like baby cabbage.
These vegetables are great to get different textures. Super crunchy.
Potato is the king for the seseme oil dipping sauce.
@@hattiewu1151what about taro, I love taro
@@ym9528 I will have a try next time.😀
A big step for you guys! Well done! I never tried Hotpot in Sichuan as a Chinese so thank for sharing! Actually there's many hotpot restaurant in both Ireland and England, but the price is almost 5 times or so for two people ordering the same things... Tried once at Leicester Square in London and once in Dublin, but the flavour is definitely not authentic. Btw, the waitress is helpful!
下次吃火锅还可以尝试一些其他的种类的菜哦！种类非常多的，每一种都有独特的味道
四川地處於濕熱的山區，中國醫學（中醫）覺得吃辣食物可以抵抗溼氣入身體。所以，在四川，湖南，貴州的地方都有吃辣的 諺語。😊
Love your videos. That traditional herbal tea can help reduce the “heat” inside your body when eating spicy food. That’s why those hot pot places always carry those herbal drinks.
Hello, I live in Ireland. Right now, I'm eating Angus beef here in Ireland while you are enjoying a delicious feast in China. I'm really envious! When will you return to Ireland? I'd be delighted to cook a Chinese meal to host you over the weekend.
Thank you so much ☺️ I’m sure at some stage
@@TwoMadExplorers That's great, we have a deal because I'm also a video creator, but on another App, and I also studied cooking in China. I live in Cork, I'm waiting for you to come back, I want to cook you some Chinese dishes, or explain to you some questions about your trip to China, because the culture is different, so I can understand, just like when I came to Ireland, I made a lot of jokes😃
Da Long Yi is a very good one, I went that once in Beijing and liked it very much.
❤️
You guys are a very mature and calm couple, very inclusive and positive about things. I should learn from you guys.❤
This unedited work is truly excellent， it better preserves the authentic experience and spontaneous details
餐廳配個翻譯機吧~錯過中國美食是終生遺憾
其实可以自助点餐的。。不过很多没有英文版。。其实菜单点已经很人性了。。
This is a good idea.
有些菜不太好翻译，老外能看懂是啥得把食材翻译准
@@Ibrahimoviczlatan-wj4vh 加外文 或 圖片
真的需要配个英文版菜单，加上食材的最佳涮煮时间tips。
I saw your videos on the Chinese version of TiK ToK. I like you guys very much. So I came to follow your channel on UA-cam. I recommend you to go to Xi'an next time. There are a lot of delicious food there. It also has a deep historical heritage.
The hotpot chopsticks are long so that they can protect your hands from the hot pot.😊Try to take adventage of them.
There are many kinds of hot pot in China, but Sichuan, Chongqing hot pot is the most famous, but they are more spicy, not spicy Chaoshan hot pot is also very delicious.😊
When you come to china more, you’ll know what to do
You guys are very brave to try that out. Well done.
Hahahaha so cute you two! Glad to see that you enjoyed the trip and food in my lovely hometown Chengdu! ❤
你们今天点的菜，竹笋需要一次全部倒在锅里煮十分钟以上会更入味和更嫩，牛肉片则需要一片一片的热锅里涮烫7-10秒，牛肉只要变粉红色就可以吃了，这样才更鲜嫩，千万不要放进锅里煮太久时间，会影响口感变老变柴的，如果不知道如何煮制和食用可以通过翻译软件询问服务员，不必担心麻烦，这是他们的工作！只要有交流工具我相信他们就不会紧张，都会耐心解答。
This is a good restaurant. Glad you like the food. Try some other things than pork and beef next time.
❤️
Hello from Saigon Vietnam !
❤️🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
中越友誼萬歲。
I usually eat them with Rice it makes it better I love hotpot alot but my problem is too much oil.
I recommend you ordered more vegetables next time😊
希望你们在中国一切顺利，玩得开心，也欢迎去更多地方体验中国，你们会发现更多惊喜，还有可以买个翻译机🤣
Amazing guys！ The sesame oil dip source is very common when having Sichuan hotpot. It takes some chilli oil coated on food away to protect your mouth and stomach, while all the flavors remain.
the bottle of tea you guys drunk when you were eating the hotpot,it's a traditional cold tea in china,and it's a partner with the spicy hotpot. the spicy could burn your stomach,and the tea could let it cool down
"I can breathe in 4D now" 😂 I know the feeling
Don't be embarrassed, everyone is like this in a new country. I imagine I am trying to speak broken German in front of people and might get somebody laughing or speaking English back to me, but many people can be helpful and forgiving.
Thank you so much ☺️
So pleased your having fun with the hotpot, great fun and the flavors are amazing, there’s no right and wrong with hotpot just try everything and enjoy
Damn you guys are the first foreigners I saw having the “right” dipping sauce among all the videos 😂😂 the sesame oil helps cooling down the meat (like oil quenching) and reliefs the spiciness
❤️❤️❤️
the dipping sauce is supposed to have a lot of sesame sauce, can u taste that? have u got lotus roots and tofu skin?
Yes! Delicious
Thank you for your recognition of the food. I am from Chengdu and have lived in Germany for 15 years. I wish you a wonderful experience in China.
Tofu, taro and lotus root are also good for hotpot, fish ball & meat ball are good too, and you don’t have to cook(boil) them for too long, a minute for tofu, a few minutes for taro and over 5 minutes for the lotus roots, fish balls and meat balls. As for those slices meat, less than a minute( around 10 to 20 seconds is fine).
The beef only needs 7 seconds to cook. It's going to be too tough to chew otherwise. I have been laughing all the way by watching you guys.
❤️❤️❤️
Ditto. Eating alone is pure meditation
customize the soap base to your taste only - most important
你们应该再点蘑菇和青菜
Across the screen,it can blew my head off.
it is black fungus in the tofu package、 and 福🧧 means blessing
wood ear mushrooms
Next time you can try malatang, it is similar to hot pot, in the restaurant you choose your favorite flavor and dishes to the clerk, they will help you cook and then give the food bowl you, the price and convenience are better.
ask the staff for help😂 they are very willing to but you have to call them because sometimes it will be considered as a disturb. so next time, don't be hesitate if you are not sure how to eat😊
🙏❤️
Nice! Beef is definitely the one to try first for this type of hotpot. If you ever go to Beijing, don't forget to try the traditional Beijing copper-charcoal hotpot with freshly cut lamb, which is not spicy by default. the Sichuan's broth even just mildly spicy is spicy enough for a lot of people(and myself).
So, A few recommendations of my favourites.. just in case if you guys ever wanna try the same hotpot or different hotpot again.
Vegetables: potato slices (土豆片) Shungiku/Chrysanthemum leaves (茼蒿) corn (玉米) cabbage(白菜) lotus root(莲藕) enoki mushroom or mushroom (金针菇or蘑菇) black fungus(黑木耳)
Meat(or kind of): duck/pork bloody pudding(鸭血/猪血) fish tofu(鱼豆腐) shrimp paste(虾滑) fish/meetball(鱼/肉丸子) hairy tripe(毛肚) raw shrimp/prawn(虾)
Other: noodle/instant noodles
Hao Chi!
很喜欢你们旅游的视频，中国有很多特色的饮食文化，我们通常去这些不熟悉的特色饮食场所需要先了解它的吃法和特色。餐厅里最好有很多桌客人以便我们学习和点菜🙂
bamboo shoots should be cooked enough time. all stuff can be put into the soup and after cooking enough time get the food out by chopsticks or colander
Yeah, that's the easy way to have hotpot, I prefer that.
then you will end up with some rubber like meat and offal.
欢迎从爱尔兰🇮🇪远道而来的客人❤❤❤❤❤
❤️☺️
There are various hot pots in different parts of China, such as Sichuan hot pot, Beijing lamb pot, Chaoshan beef pot. I think the vegetables in Sichuan hot pot are the most spicy, will absorb a lot of spicy oil, if too spicy, rinse with water, it will be much better.
It is appropriate to order three dishes per person. The combination of meat and vegetables can make you feel full without wasting anything.
I was in Chendgu last week too and a local taxi driver rcommended me to a Chongging Hotpot place and it was also very good too! Order both clear soup and spicy soup pot! Hotpot is defintiely within the blood of every Chinese! Be it Guandong, Chiu Chow and Sichuan style! Love it!
Recommend trying Hai Di Lao Hot pot.That’s more suitable for beginners to try ☺️☺️And that’s a chain brand.it’s easy to find 🎉
Happy weekend Naomi and luke wow eat delicious food yum yum
❤️
When we eat hot pot, usually we would order about 10 kinds of foods including 2~3 kinds of meat (beef/lamb), 2~3 kinds of sea foods(shrimp, fish slices), 2~3 kinds of mushroom and 2~3 green vegetables. That's the way you have a full experience of hot pot. Some restaurants supply special hot pots such as special fish or rabbits or bullfrogs and so on, if you really love hot pot, don't miss it.
should go with half spicy and half pork broth. start with vegetables, then meat, any starch last.
no.
always start with mushrooms, and keep them boiled for some time. and at the same time start from sea food, then meat, then vegetables, starch last indeed.
Beef and lamb slices are quickest to cook, done in seconds. You eat it medium when the meat is slightly pink. Next time if you try pig brain 🧠 it will take 10 minutes slow cook. For less spicy you can take out half the red chilli 🌶 at the start and put them in a bowl. You can add them back if you want.
Thank you 🙏
I feel like to put my hands through my phone screen to pull your beef out of the hotpot soup 😅
You can continue ordering while having it 🎉🎉
❤️
cool herb tea for hot pot too
that is the right iced tea for hot pot❤
This traditonal hotpot is absolutely one of my favorite food on the planet, btw Chongqing is a mustgo distination in west-south China. Looking forward to you exploring more cities in China. ❤❤❤
You guys already have pretty good chopstick skills. For better result, hold the relatively upper part of the chopsticks, bit higher than the middle, maybe 2/3. 😊
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Unbelievable! Having such a decent dinner in one of the top ten rated restaurants only costed you 21 Euro. Very very affordable. China is definitely a hidden gem for the tourists.
❤️
其实火锅有很多菜品都可以尝试，下次你们去吃串串香吧，每种菜品都可以尝试一下。味道号价格合适位置离你们不远的店我推荐选择“根据地串串香”@@TwoMadExplorers
China no had inflation on foods broo..😂 🎉
27:47 Noodles are fantastic in the hotpot !!!!this is my must-order. and there are different types of noodles.
If you don't understand Chinese, you can try chuanchuan.Chinese character is串串,is like a stick and then it has two little Squiares on it,it's similar to hotpot, but with smaller portions and a direct view of the dishes. You can try a wider variety.if you going to chongqing next,you can try chuanchuan串串
I love spicy food. This makes me crave a hotpot. Excellent video!!
7:46 Emerge!!!! You guys got ambushed by chillies🤣
China changes your whole outlook on teas. People here go to tea shops like westerners go to bars. What a healthy way to go about one’s life.👍🏿
Come to Guangdong Providence next time! The food and culture are also marvellous! You can try Cantonese morning tea! Looking forward to seeing you in Guangdong. Enjoy your trips!
As a Chinese, I do not really eat hot pot. I admire that you want to try new things. I usually stay in my comfort zone, especially when it comes for food.
These two are so authentic, and absolutely new to China, as you can see🤣🤣
The kind of long chopsticks you take are specifically for hot pot, you can properly hold a little higher, so as not to burn♥
