• AMAZING KOLKATA Food S...
Kolkata is a melting pot of cultural diversity. It has embraced migrants from different parts of the world and made them its own. One such community is the Chinese community that first set foot in the city during the British rule. Since it was the capital of the country many Chinese families got attracted to settle here. And that is how the populous Chinese settlement came to existence in the central part of Kolkata. In this episode we are on a journey to explore some of the popular street foods across the Chinese settlements including Tiretta Bazar and Tangra. To guide us about the locality, cultural scenes and the food, we were joined by our gracious and dynamic host Pamela Das.
We started the tour early in the morning from Teritta Bazar. The place is known for the daily morning street market where one can find numerous traditional Chinese breakfast items. These are mostly prepared and sold by the Chinese families living in the locality. On Sundays the crowd swells up with food enthusiasts thronging the place for pork baos, sui pao, sauces and condiments etc. Our picks included pork bao, rice pudding, fried rice balls, sweet crispy rajma stuffed bun, pork pastry, meatball soup and prawn papad. Of these the best thing was the sweet rajma stuffed buns and the least pleasant one was the meatball soup as it was too bland.
After the heavy breakfast we moved to Tangra which is known as the new Chinatown. Apart from the numerous factories and units, this place had earned the reputation of being a hub for great traditional Chinese food. Most of the iconic eateries over here are family run. Though their ambience is unpretentious, their food is much coveted. Here we tried wonton noodles or the singhara chow as the Bengali's call it, at two different places. At the first place we saw how the noodles were being prepared using a tedious, ancient noodle making technique which was so fascinating. At the second place the wonton noodles were bit more flavourful and robust.
After that hearty wonton trail we arrived at our final destination Eau Chew which is deemed as the oldest family run eatery in the city. Here we tried two of their hot selling dishes named Chimney Soup and Josephine Noodles. The sensational names got us excited. Chimney soup was a lightly seasoned broth containing eggs, chicken, prawn and vegetables. The unique thing about this dish is the brass vessel in which it was served. It has burning charcoal inside it. There was a chimney-like outlet through which the heat and smoke escaped. Josephine noodles on the other hand was pan fried noodles that had miscellaneous ingredients. Both the dishes were super yummy. With that hearty meal and warm conversations with the owners at Eau Chew, we came to the end of this delightful tour. See you soon.
*Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a flavour enhancer. Although there have been reports of adverse reactions caused by MSG, notably the so-called “Chinese restaurant syndrome”, however there is no scientific evidence to suggest that MSG has any adverse effects on the general population in the amounts normally consumed as part of the diet. Glutamates occur naturally in protein rich foods such as meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.

Most diverse food series 👏👏👏

This girl is true Bengali foodie.... Ready to explore and taste without wasting a nano second 😂😂☺
True...😀
उसको ठूंसने आई मीन खाने मे मजा आ रहा है ।
Absolutely...ha...ha....ha
Yeah She is..Very eager to eat.
@@VivekKumar-ww5dt tere ko chatne main jani kisi ka mazak udane main jyada maja aata hai
Most of the comments are regarding the girl who is equally enjoying the food and our male Indian eyes are not quite habituated to see a girl eating and and enjoying food. We are so habituated to see a pretty fare smiling girl just cutting little food and spreading her warmth that we could not like this. Being a Calcuttan, I must say she has guided Anubhav to the right and authentic places of common people chinese joints. There are star chinese restaurant run by Bengali's , super hygienic and ultimate classy but she had visited to the lost charms of a bygone era....this is the spirit of food walk...rightly captured
Wonderfully said that ! Very correct.
Not at all. She is quite cute and brings a lot of knowledge. Definitely the highlight of this video.
Absolutely. We Indians have a bad habit of commenting negatively about everything, if it is a young woman then the fun doubles. Especially so if she does not conform with our idea of how a woman is supposed to behave. Arre dekha ladki ghum rahi hai, kha rahi hai, chalo Iski phirki le.
What they are forgetting is that she has done a lot of research and background work for the host to explore. She also may not be an on-camera person and may be a behind the scene person.
Well said!
Rightly put
This Kolkata series has to be the most comprehensive kolkata food series on UA-cam. Hats off Sir.🙏
Very soon no one will make Chinese food
@@scottp.1884 Maybe they will make Makhan Singh Food 🍲 😂 🤣 it's seems.. Makhan Chicken 🐔 from wahe guru ji kih fateh restaurant 🍴 chak deh fateh.. Makhan dal ke. 🤣
Thank you so much ☺️
So true
@@scottp.1884 . For sure, people will continue to write with stupid and ignorant comment .No cure for these!
As a Chinese person, I've never eaten that kind of noodles, thank you for making this video. Added Kolkata to my travel bucket list (when the travel ban is over). Much love from Malaysia ☺️
I tried malaysian thai chinese from singapore but i lv Singapore s chinese
Wow!! Pamela took you to oldest China Town at San Yat Sen Street for Sunday breakfast . At one time most Famous Restaurant of East Nanking existed here, where famous movie Howrah Bridge was shot , now due to dispute between the brothers it is turned into a Pagoda. The Best Roasted Chili Pork in Kolkata is made by DLey Restaurant , same locality, I am sure Pamela knows it. Eau Chew , that's beautiful place and Joel was speaking to you . This is now run by Joel and Jennifer the brother sister duo. They don't keep any staff due to union problem and their Chimney Soup is still the best in Kolkata. IMO in Tangra, you missed Shun Li, next to Chinese Kalibari , they make best home made Chinese food made by Chinese for the Chinese. Run by Mathew Chen and Sister Michelle Chen.
Wow I would had never know about this Chinese’s migrates people ( now of course our Indian brothers) living in Calcutta for that long. Wonderful of you to show us real India. Thank you!!
Thank you so much!
This is my city, Kolkata..
Every type of food, every type of culture- one can find here.. Versality. Every corner of the city have different food culture.. SONAR BANGLA..
asliyat me dikha jaie apun log hi harami hai bc 1 country me rehke 2 ra country ki logo ko gali dete hai.
The lady is very knowledgeable... She knows what she is talking about... Anubhav, you know I m one of the biggest fan of KOL food.. And the way u r taking us thru this journey is awesome... Tangra brings back memories...ufff that chimney soup is out of this world
Thank you so much for this lovely comment 😊
Most friendly ppl. Bengalis. Love from Tamil Nadu
South Indians are very popular in Calcutta.
She is just not showing off... being natural.. 100% like the way she actually is... be like this only forever.. not need to change.. Just be yourself... Love from Assam
To all the people who are criticizing the girl that she is focusing only on eating ... GET A LIFE !!!. This is a food channel. We want to see foodies and she is a foodie. Period !! We want to see good content and anchors enjoying their food, she has done a great job !! Way to go girl !!!!!!
Totally agree with you samrat.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼❤️
@Ranu Das Bahut acchi parwarish hui hai aapki.
Well said samrat!
Everyone has their own opinion
This lady is fun to watch, Super excited about the food😹😹.Abhinav is very patient, he is like pehle record to karne de.. appreciate her natural behaviour
She is camera shy .
Har koi tik tok type fuhad ni hota
Apka nazar hi galat hai.
Nahi degi 😛
Khane ke video mein upwas karegi. Jitna bolna hai, bol rahi hai. You have to understand that all the places they are visiting is as per her research.
Another area covered which forms a part of the cosmopolitan culture of Kolkata. Chinese food shown here can rarely be found anywhere in india. Waiting eagerly for the next episode. I hope you cover the" Bengali Pice hotel" food culture which forms an integral part of the city.
True
Thank you so much for appreciating our efforts
It's like a hidden gem, no? Only locals know about it because we outsiders don't hear about it much.
Yes it is!
Your food journey to Kolkata would’ve been incomplete without covering Chinese food. I was eagerly waiting for this. Thank you !
Thank you so much!
Pamela came across as she knew what she was talking about and seemed to be enjoying the food. It was a treat to watch. Thank you, Anubhav for a fabulous tour of Kolkata!
Only in Kolkata you will have such authentic Chinese colony and Chinese dishes ranging from breakfast to dinner. Thanks team Delhi Food Walks for covering this part of the town!
Thank you so much!
Kolkata Chinese food is out of this world. Great video and kudos to the girl who took you to all the right places
Chinese food outside India is not so tasty as they are in Calcutta.
What I like about your videos is that it is very well researched.You have presented authentic kolkata food like no one ever.
Thank you ma’am
My Dearest Anubhab ji, I have lot's of respect for you, watch almost all videos during this lock down. Started with Hardwar video.,each and every episode is a wonderful experience for me.. thank you so much for all these gift for us.. God bless you
That aunty at 4:50 was so sweet 😊😊😊
Must say, it's well covered within the time span. Otherwise it could on for hours covering the other well known eateries. Interestingly, I find that many of the people selling in Tirreti Bazar, as well as in Tangra, are locals who must have learnt the cuisine from the Chinese owners. That's good I would say - that's the way a cuisine survives 👍
Indeed! Thank you so much ☺️
U can't be a Food expert & don't love food. This girl proves it in every sense she is true Food lover.
Thankyou for this lovely episode ..... Enjoyed a lot while watching it ...
Next time when I am visiting kolkata I will surely visit China Town and Territi Bazar.... Waiting for the next episode eagerly ....😃😃😃😄
Absolutely loving your Kolkata series... it is just so mesmerizing to see all these amazing dishes... Bengali cuisine is one of my favorites... and "Desi Chinese" .. it is delicious
Thank you so much
The amazing Kolkata Chinese food during lockdown...
Thank you Anubhav...
Anirban Sarkar isme acha kya tha Itni wait ke pehle iphone per chali nahi phir kya bolu aab
This lady has so much descriptive knowledge on the foods of Bengal. Hats up!
First of all I would like to says u R great human being and ur videos r very interesting nd excellent ...and ur content is too gud.. always..
Gajab time pe ye Chinese Food Vlog upload kiya hai 😄
Shi pakde hai
The episode so content rich. Beautifully captured their culture and food taste
Thank youu! ❤️
I like this host as she is natural, we all here for food and she really enjoys it. Love you girl.
She looks as if she is here only for food.....not eaten since ages. While agree that the host too must love food but she seems to be ready to eat anything and everything and not at all interested in letting us know the stories of the rich history behind kolkatta food. Totally waste! Anubhav ji pls dont take her in your next food tour in Kolkatta
She is jyst here for food... and acting as if shez involved with info sharing which she is not. Pamela u r the host you should show some restraint
@@jkrishna2689 Anubhavji is smart enough to choose her- know this you are never going to be chosen Krishna
@@namrata1606 -what is your weight? How about you showing some restraint Namrata ?
Gargi or pamela..whoever you are... my weight is very much under control.. you plz spruce up ur dining etiquettes.. its very embarrasing to see such behaviour on a social platform. Disappointing
Hello Anubhav, I'm from Calcutta. I'm glad you visited the China Town which is a unique feature of our city. I thought you had missed it, but good to see you went there.
Also, I saw your biryani episode where you visited Dada Boudir Hotel in Barrackpore and that Nawabi lady's place. I'd recommend the next time you come to Calcutta you should go to the top biryani joints in the city, like Arsalan, India Restaurant, Royal Indian Hotel, Shiraz Golden Restaurant, Aminia. These are some of the oldest biryani restaurants in Calcutta and the bests, which will give you the true vibe of the biryani culture in our city!
We definitely will the next time! Thank you 😊
Kafulok - right at the end of big line of restaurants in Chinatown, Tangra. One of my favorites where we used to go a lot. 🙂
Amazing as always. Thumbs up
One of the best videos, of the most authentic Chinese cuisine you can get. You won’t find outside Kolkatta, feels nostalgic. Miss all the lovely foods. 👏👍🙏
Sirji I really liked the girl ... don’t know she was your guest or she was your guest ... really knowledgeable... loved her straightforwardness of her love of food .. in many places was like ... let’s take the video later ... can we eat first 🤗🤗🤗😅😅nice 👍👍
I too wrote the same thing ... & here I read your comment too 🤪🤪
These Chinese people living in India are very law abiding. They are contributing to our economy.
True
True !
The background music is very enchanting.
That girl made this vlog entertaining
Lovely Girl. Love to Eat... 🤗
#Anubhav ko Agr Problem Hota to Dobara se Nhi Bulate inko...
The only City where ul get so much content
Very nice Abhinav. I'm from Kolkata. But migrated to Maharashtra fourteen years ago. So you gave me an old nostalgic feeling for my hometown. I really like your videos and appreciate the way you describe. Recently I was hospitalized with pneumonia. I used to watch only your delhi food walk. I'm recovering now fast due to the passion I get by viewing your wonderful videos. Keep on posting. Thank you so much for helping to heal me
Recommend watching the Food Ranger’s coverage of Kolkata Chinatown food.
OMG the girl! much more interested to eat rather than explaining.... haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂 i was looking for dis comment 😝😝
don't make her feel embarass for his eating habits... delete the comment
@@Sandeepsaini-wh4jg what is embarass? Btwn his 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Lol 🤣... It's my wish.....
I agree
Even i was in her place I would have done same😆
Chinese speaking Hindi,l love it and the food also,thk from Mauritius
She tried twice to pick that Bao, but was interrupted with Sir's questions! 😂 Cute manh. No offence! Great video, great host!
Nice video sir for the intolerant times going around now hope it will cool down soon
Love yo see you folks doing SIDDHI people food tour.....afro indian foods....🤔🤓🇬🇾🇮🇳
I am craving for Chinese food in Kuwait 🇰🇼 now 😭😋
You can go to the Dragon Market in Dubai.
Ye apne kafi achi guide chuni h.hamesha khane ke liye betab hoti h
She's a true foodie and just wants Anubhav to let her enjoy the food.😀😀
Should have visited Territy Bazaar eating houses. Tung Nam serves the best Chinese in Kolkata.
Yes and then reported corona postive and after they marona rona dhona .... Chinese people are crooked and corrupt more than us or any other African people.... That's a reality most adulterated food and food items medicine in China....
@@shantanutyagi9408 don't embaras yourself further with stupidity and get off this channel..there are many other channels where you can go and feel at home
Exactly
@@shantanutyagi9408 you are a boka choda
Awesome video. As a Calcuttan who grew up eating this food in Calcutta I’m dying to go back to Calcutta and eat this food.
Hi, does video is again not playing for iPhone users...
It’s facing a technical glitch in some devices. Please open the video’s link in your browser and not the UA-cam app, it’ll run. Thanks
Where is this location exactly I tried to search for it couldn’t find the place
786'th like of mine...........
Awesome Kolkata food series 👌👌
Thank you 😊
5:22 can I try...☺️☺️
she is really desperate to eat it😂😂😂
she is lyk mjh bs khaane do
Khana hai bass mujhe khana do
Maja aa gaya sir. Bohut umnda. Love from a Bengali
Wonderful presentation. Also loved the girl. She's such a foodie, it adds value to the food vlog. Wish I could go out with her on food trip like this in Kolkata.
Best of China town Kim ling restaurant kolkata
The kind of food variety in Kolkata is insane be it Bengali food, biryani, rolls, Chinese food, sweets, momos and so much more. I don't think any other Indian city has this much variety.
1000% agree with u brother... I m not from KOL but this is true that KOL is the food capital of India....personally I m a die hard fan of biriyani and I will say with authority that KOLKATA biriyani is the best in world... Hyderabadi, Calicut, Andhra, Mysore, ladakh,Mizo,mumbai biriyanis take a bow... KOL biriyani is best... Period!
@@motilalayan Totally agree
@@motilalayan that's a personal thing I feel. Each biryani has its own speciality and flavour. But the best part is Biryani is far from being the speciality dish of Kolkata unlike Hyderabad. There's so much more food
Indeed! Thank you
Ayan Motilal All the best cooks of Lucknow came to Calcutta when the nawab was banished to Calcutta by the British after the mutiny in 1857.
I love people who love food.. Since this is about food, she's perfect.. That's why I like Kuljyoti Dhingra & Golgappa Girl as well, coz they enjoy food... She guided you pretty well, and she knows quite a lot... She should have her own food vlogging channel.. Kolkata has been on my bucketlist since years.. I hope I will get good vegetarian options in China Town..
i enjoyed watching this video... food was mouth watering / drooling, etc...,
12:56 just look at her reaction 😂😂
🤣🤣 spot on
It reminds my childhood 😂😂
🤣😂
Bhai 12:59 ko de bhi diya anubhav'ne.
Kaustoov, it seems that you have not had proper schooling. Have you not been taught proper manners that you have to make a crude uncivil comment like that? Would you say something like that about your mother ,sister or daughter? Have you seen how perfect Anubhavji's behavior is? Try to be a proper man.
This all food i can make sir I'm from nepal I'm thinking open a reasturent in my country original chinese food i see your video when you trivial in nepal
Suraj I would request you to take a few lessons in English before you open your restaurant. Not only are all your spellings wrong, your grammar is horrible as well.I hope you cook better than you speak and write the English language.
Hello Suraj if u r interested then really show ur cooking skills and come with me we also planning a food shop
@@akankshasingh5842 Why the hell would I try to do that? If I was his teacher I would probably beat him up every day.

Yeap...but why r the others video running n not this one

Just the right time to show "Chinese" food. What an irony 😅😅😅
😝😝😝😝😝😝
Pork 🤪🤪
Simpl and cool eit is chines foods nise vlog🙏 👍👍tc........🤤
slight correction- the breakfast market is open everyday except Monday. saturday and Sunday has the largest spread and rest of the days you might only just get momos. reach early by 6:30 or 7.
That was a very exhaustive breakfast / snacks spread. Most of those items have never seen in any other Chinese Kolkata food tour video
Kolkata china town is very diverse and unique!
@@delhifoodwalks Nice. Were you there on a Sunday morning?
So much hate in the comments regarding pork and China. Fantastic video Anubhavji. Keep up the good work Delhi Food Walks. But to be honest you needed a slightly better food guide. Like me 😜
Thanks
Most of foods like pudding,dumpling,patties type food,Singada(we call it in my Odisha & neighbour West Bengal,Samosa in North India) are same to Indian food because both nations are great civilizations.Love China.Love Hindustan.
Also in Assam and Sikkim they call...
The bun with roast pork filling is called cha shu pao
Interesting dishes. But most the dishes look unappetizing and oily! But this series was interesting watch Anubhav.

5:34 it is meat ball soup called toufoko in Chinese and its made of pork and fish and boiled in pork broth
13:21 it's not oil it's pork lard in it
I love Chinese food, people and culture. I will visit Beijing one day. Are you from China/do you live there now? I hope that India and China can be good friends.
18:45 families should dine together, that makes everything more enjoyable...talking and discussing how the day went.
Pork ko सुअर बोलो ।।शर्माते क्यों हो।।।घनौने ।।
Very bad ,posting all such food videos during lockdown.It is making me hungry.😡😜🤗😭 ami o khabooo.🤗

Uttar Pradesh is the second largest producer of Pork and Largest producer of beef in india,wake up dude,these people are of double standards
@@aakashboom production and consumption are two different things bro.... consumption depends on your interest where as production depends on market demand and your crave for money.... small example African countries produce most of raw material in the world but sadly they don't get to consume the end product and they remain poor inspite of having the richest mines ...so don't call us double standards..... though I am bihari but your words hurted me

God bless anubhav and that girl guide with you. So beautiful way to explore this city. And enjoy such wide variety of cuisine. And the humility to learn new things.
Authentic places which have history and withstood ravages of modernity. Hope to see such places once before I meet my maker
Dislike for pork
i liked for pork
Boldest video I have seen in recent times😅
Why boldest? This is Kolkata.. You can find so much variety, so much flavours in one city.. That's why it is cultural city of India.. This is pretty normal
What kind of boldness you saw here? Plz elaborate..
If being multi cultural is boldness ..then I must i am one of that proud Indian to be able born in this beautiful bold city. ❤️
Eating Chinese food during this pandemic is itself a bold task ( if this was shot during the quarantine)🙂
Good one...thanku...
Both of you are exploring the Chinese food of Kolkata in the same way Vasco de Gama did during the discovery of pepper in the Indian subcontinent. Good Work
