Chinese people always like asking if others have a boyfriend or girlfriend，if you don‘t ，they are wiling to introduce someone to you，only in China that you can see，cause Chinese people believe that getting married means happy life
Blondie, as a Chinese from Southern China, I also dislike the taste of 豌豆黃 though it looks beautiful. And please do not feel offended when Chinese people ask you if you have a boyfriend, 對象 coz when Chinese people do this , it means they like you and hope you can become one of our family group. Hope you and your German boyfriend both become our family group.
Family group is not confined to blood line or ethnicity alone. Blondie is about a window for the world to understand China and hopefully for China to look at the world. In a world so divided, Blondie serves as a bridge for a wider family group we call humanity. I am glad to belong to this family too.
I cried watching this video. Beijing, my hometown. Haven't been back for almost 2 years. The noodles the guy you shared table with while trying the Guotie is called da lu mian 打卤面. It is one of the Beijing's traditional noodles. I remember growing up eating it and zha jiang mian. Thanks for bringing me some lovely memories of Beijing. Love your videos as always!
@@BlondieinChina You will love it. It's more of 家常菜，one of the most popular dishes in Beijing and Tianjin. my aunty in-law used to cook it for me all the time. Fun fact, 卤儿is when you cook a dish and put in lots of starch to thickening the sauce, it becomes 卤. Hence, you can make 西红柿炒鸡蛋 as 卤儿. hahaha
You're so kind, respectful, intelligent...you're lovely to watch! I used to travel all the time and now that I've been sober for a few years and just got my dream job I'm getting inspiration from you!!! Your channel is giving me life! God Bless You:)
There is another salty version of wandou huang that has no grainy taste due to the removal of pea fiber remains, which was only found in a small town in Jiangsu. That is one of my favourite as it still taste pea but as smoothy as any starch jelly. During the Covid-19 lock down I cracked the cooking procedure the salty smoothy type of wandou huang which taste amazing.
Dear Blondie, Hui minority are mostly muslims, (from watching many videos on Hui culture) n back in the old days, even in SEASIAN countries, the locals made peas for desserts by adding sugar, or as a savoury dish. This pea dish is Traditional n l love anything made from peas n beans n nothing too sugary sweet(no white sugar, but brown palm sugar or gula melaka added, would be a healthier substitute). Oh how l missed all the kueh-kuehs in my Singapore, Msia n Indonesia. There are savoury n sweet dessert varieties in SE Asian countries. This brings back memories of local kueh-kuehs in Singapore, Msia n Indonesia. These peas cakes/kueh kueh are loaded with proteins for those who are vegetarian or on religious grounds! Love that millet gruel with sesame sauce, Blondie, with all due respect, you should have stir n mixed the sauce into the millet gruel n eat it The whole idea of eating that millet gruel(hope its 100% millet n no cornstarch added to it), is to mix the sauce(salty sesame sauce, great combination to the millet gruel) in it n eat it, otherwise you dont get the proper taste! I know l would love it. Millet is such a nutrient-rich food, n a warm hearty-filled-dish for hot n humid Beijing(but in summer, serve cool or chilled would be delicious n refreshing/dessert like)n sesame contains Vit E. I hope you didnt waste all that nutritious food! I guessed each has her/his own preference n taste. I think your mom would love the millet gruel too! Anyway, l have always enjoy your lovely, fun, educational n interesting video. Looking forward to more! Thank you.
To me, a good wan dou Huang has the mouth feel of lotus paste you get in mooncakes. If it is too grainy, it's not a great quality. I love it though, I think the subtle sweetness and a slight almost nutty flavour gives it a unique experience. Sadly can't get it atm as outside China :(
Thanks for being an honest UA-camr and doesn't just love everything for the sake of it! And this is the first time I'm actually interested in a sponsored product 😂
Amy hi, thanks for a well-edited and interesting story. You've instantly and single-handedly tamed your new camera. I used to follow The Food Ranger video whilst he lived in Chengdu. I am quite happy that I've stumbled upon your channel.
I’m from Beijing and live in New Zealand now,your videos make me serious homesick. Thanks for sharing this amazing video.BTW,wan dou huang is one of my favorite snacks 😂
For Wan Dou Huang, you need to try the one from Fang Shan （仿膳）inside Bei Hai Gong Yuan. Give it one last chance. It's not supposed to be very grainy. Traditionally, this needs to be sifted through many times to achieve the silky smooth texture. It's labour intensive, so it's only served to the royal family. Now days most places don't follow the traditional steps in order to cut down the cost. Even Fang Shan doesn't follow the traditional recipe to the dot, but that's one place should still make it better than most other places since this types of snacks are what this restaurant is known for. That's very unfortunate...
That lady sounds like a typical Asian mom 😂 she means well! Hope you enjoy your travels Amy, looks amazing! Also when are you going to reunite with your boyfriend? Can’t wait for an episode of you two together! 😍
@@BlondieinChina Tons of traveling away from family and friends and do tons of video taping and editing and having to always project positivity could take a super heavy duty toll on your psychy. Make sure you rest well and connect with your loved ones frequently through video chats. Don't let this job takes away your beautiful spirit just because your audience loves you very much, Amy. Sometimes just drop those gears and simply enjoy your times and meals without that sense of obligation to film should be healing.....I sure hope you already found that balance and peace within you. Cheers.
@Clen diet thank you. I read what you wrote but I need now apply what you said to my life, which is never as easy which makes sense because everyone naturally tend to be lazy when everything tells then that they inferior are by nature to others
Thank you for trying Wan Dou Huang for the second time and gave it a chance. I appreciate your effort and honesty. I've never tried this dish, it looks good though. When I'm in Beijing again I might also try it. Greetings from Holland
Wow you have made very good use of that insta 360! The footage you took looks clear and the gadget seems convenient. Another lovely video from Miss Amy :D Honestly i love the vibe of your videos always brings a smile to my face :)
It would be remarkable indeed if one loved every dish in a country. China's cuisine is so diverse that inevitably there must be a few dishes one will find unpalatable. I know some people who can't stand curries, black pudding, baked beans, etc.
I love the Vietnamese sweet mung bean paste cake - it looks very similar, but I take it that 豌豆黄 is made from yellow peas rather than mung beans. I think mung beans have a very agreeable, mild flavour which is suitable for sweets.
How do you find the camera with regards to transferring files...? Lee Barrett and I were frustrated with the lack of removable storage and battery life. but the rest was awesome.
Hey Matt! I found using the desktop software a lot easier for transferring information. Downloading and editing everything via phone was a bit harder with a larger amount of content. Battery could be better but the portable charging carry case definitely was a nice to have 👍
Hahaha. Seems like the auntie was really gunning to play matchmaker. I think she was hoping Amy would potentially become her future daughter-in-law. XD
Hey Amy, have you ever considered about visiting Yunnan someday ? It’s my hometown and the food is well known with its highly various kinds and flavors. I’m currently living in Sydney but I really miss the foods in Yunnan 😭
哈哈哈哈遭遇大妈。 But I think you should try 豌豆黄 with some plum juice or plum syrup. The sour taste of plum can neutralize the sticky feeling on your tongue and the over-sweet taste.
MAN! I want to go back to China so badly. I haven't been back since I moved 8, 9 years ago?! I lived in Shanghai and Beijing, too, and now feeling so nostalgic for both those cities while I watch your videos. Love your content, Amy! Miss your parents, though! hahah
Aww, you are so fun! I’m American from Seattle and I lived in Melbourne for 8 years for uni and work. I absolutely love Aussies and their kind, adventurous spirits. You make me want to go back!
omg I looooove this video. Havent been to beijing for a couple of years but really missing the food there. My favourite dish is Miancha, love the sesame taste, and second one is 豌豆黄， coz i love jelly and i think 豌豆黄 is the healthier version of jelly. Btw highly recommend 门钉肉饼 it's soooooooooo good
Amazing! keep up the great videos and amazing food tours, china has some of the best food. I am so jealous you are trying all this in china, would love to go to china again, but travel isn't exactly possible from Australia at the moment.
Amy if you wants to keep us laughing , go try the “豆汁” 😜 I think that auntie is trying to invite you to the famous TV program in China called “ 门当戶对” 😂
We went on a food tour in the hutong in that area and the guide introduced us to a donkey meat restaurant . It was very good, tender meat. Reminded me of a mild pastrami the way they served it to us.
Very creative, fun video about one of many favorite Chinese cities. Only thing missing is riding through the hutoung on a 40 year old flying pigeon bike : )
You are a very brave person to try out all this "strange" stuff. I find your videos to be always interesting and informative. Enjoy them very much. Also - done in a professional manner. Keep up the good work. I could never eat the Chinese "delicacies" 😉😂.
Tripe is the stomach, not the intestines... those are further down. As a white American woman, I'd tell other Westerners to not knock it before they try it. Both tripe AND intestines are tasty. I really like the softer varieties of tripe in either a ginger garlic sauce, spicy sauce, or black bean sauce. You really can't go wrong. The texture can be a little odd if you aren't used to it, but the flavor is amazing.
It's kind of like if you took the mushy peas from an English fish and chips shop, strained it through a fine mesh, shaped it into cube and let it congeal over night in fridge. Yeah, not a fan either lol.
I like wandouhuang so much! It's pretty fresh and soft and beany lol, probably my favo Beijing snacks. Thank you for showing us Hutong in Beijing, I feel like I go back there with your camera!
man the technology just keeps getting better and better. But also there goes our privacy 💀 cameras gonna be the size of a marble and still be HD quality one day
Privacy this privacy that, like what are you trying to hide if you intend to expose yourself publicly on the streets. Everyone has the right to see whatever is shown in public. Why are these privacy Andys so concerned about that, as if they were filmed by a hidden camera up skirt when they went to a public toilet.
@@窃·格瓦拉 I agree. If you are in a public place, don't complain if others are filming. If you don't want to be in their film, politely ask them to edit you out. Not hard.
Awesome video as usual Blondie. I haven’t been to Beijing for about 9 years now but I’m keen to try Guotie next time! I must say you are very adventurous trying so many different types of food! You should get your parents to come over and try food with you. They’re a hoot! 😂 Thanks for sharing!
Don't worry Amy, for not liking 豆黃，the Empress Dowager was not a good person! (My great grandfather was the mayor of a town in China but joined the revolution that ended the monarchy system in China)
打卤面 isn't always cold fried noodles, they’re boiled noodles like regular noodles. And the sauce is what makes them 打卤-its a glutinous sauce with 木耳 and bamboo shoot and other stuff. Really delicious. The same noodles can be served w a black-brown sauce and pork chunks and it’s 杂酱面 which is where korean jajangmian comes from, basically the same product. Or at my house we do it with sliced cucumber and boiled cabbage & soybeans w balsamic vinegar for that beautiful color (i guess that’s the american in me haha but rice vinegar would work for a similar flavor) and you can have garlic smashed and pour vinegar into it, and then dip your noodles in that as well. Or some mix of all three. Very delicious. I think the translation you have is a bit misleading though!
As someone who grew up in Beijing and had been going to school right next to 护国寺 for 12 years😂😂 thank you for this video. It’s making me so nostalgic! I miss there so much!! But I do not approve the comment on 豌豆黄！I love it!!! 好想回家！！
That camera would greatly simplify life for many food UA-camrs. You cut off a few heads with it, but that will improve with familiarity. It seems so honest to admit to not liking some foods.
Well, can't wait for your adventure of the world famous Beijing Duck. Hope to see that in your next content. It may sound cliche to have Beijing Duck but I am sure when you are Beijing, it's by default to have that. Maybe you can do it in a way to find a few different restaurants with different style to present it, cook it and eat it. Oh, one more thing.......your laughter is very adorable!
the guy sitting opposite was having 打卤面, a typical Beijing style type of noodle dish, which is served with thick gravy on top.it's more like how you eat pasta, not some kind of cold noodle 打冷面。
You have a very strong stomach 😂... I remember you taking the intestine, miancha and earlier on some bean cake or something... yet I don't ever seeing you running to the WC.
I am embarrassed by that old lady when she said “why don’t you date Chinese? They are excellent” What a 老糊涂, Love the culture doesn’t mean have to date the people. And saying yourselves excellent to the foreigner is not the Chinese way.
@@isabellatran3222 做人得谦卑，不是卑微！不是总吹自己好！ @Wild， I agree with you, I am embarrassed too. Two issues here. Firstly, 大妈made it like Chinese man couldn’t find a wife or too desperate for a wife. Secondly over bragged the superiority of Chinese men. Please, no one ethnic man is superior to another.
Excuse me, but no : *loving a culture only aesthetically* , but without romantic interest *is inhumane and objectifying.* As a Vietnamese guy who loves French, Russian, and North African cultures, it is also because I love the women as well. *Neither what the woman in the restaurant said or did was wrong, and you know that, and somehow it made you uncomfortable.*
To be frank, whenever I befriend people who are different from me, I go straight to the women first and expect the men to "hook me up", or I straight up ditch them.
Huguosi is a street full of memory for me. It literally where I grew up and spent most of my childhood at. There was a place for baodur right across the street from huguosi snack but closed down a couple years ago when I left China to US for schools. Before it went out of business, my family usually go together a couple times a year. I never appreciated the cooking there before knowing it was gone. In my opinion It is one of the best restaurant for Baodur in Beijing based on my sentimental judgement.
If you said no to the boyfriend question, if feels like the lady is going to introduce you to her son or something lol
Hahaha.. Yes, sometime lying is the best choice.
Chinese people always like asking if others have a boyfriend or girlfriend，if you don‘t ，they are wiling to introduce someone to you，only in China that you can see，cause Chinese people believe that getting married means happy life

For Wan Dou Huang, you need to try the one from Fang Shan （仿膳）inside Bei Hai Gong Yuan. Give it one last chance. It's not supposed to be very grainy.

"They are very excellent" someone's Nana is trying to advertise them lol
豌豆黄 is the first traditional Chinese dessert I tried to make when I study in Australia, very simple and very easy.
Tripe is the stomach, not the intestines... those are further down. As a white American woman, I'd tell other Westerners to not knock it before they try it. Both tripe AND intestines are tasty. I really like the softer varieties of tripe in either a ginger garlic sauce, spicy sauce, or black bean sauce. You really can't go wrong. The texture can be a little odd if you aren't used to it, but the flavor is amazing.
Love your channel so much ~ from Canada 🇨🇦❤️
Do you have any experience with watching Chinese dramas? (Historical or modern)
Welcome back to Beijing Amy!
Isn't 豌豆黄 just an pea variation of Hummus? Have been in Beijing for 10 years, only tried it once, not a big fan of 豌豆黄 either.
Does taste like Hummus...
It's kind of like if you took the mushy peas from an English fish and chips shop, strained it through a fine mesh, shaped it into cube and let it congeal over night in fridge. Yeah, not a fan either lol.
I love hummus with garlic n olive oil. Eat it with pita bread or naan, yummy!
exactly
I like wandouhuang so much! It's pretty fresh and soft and beany lol, probably my favo Beijing snacks. Thank you for showing us Hutong in Beijing, I feel like I go back there with your camera!
man the technology just keeps getting better and better. But also there goes our privacy 💀 cameras gonna be the size of a marble and still be HD quality one day
I think we will keep the mask
Privacy this privacy that, like what are you trying to hide if you intend to expose yourself publicly on the streets. Everyone has the right to see whatever is shown in public. Why are these privacy Andys so concerned about that, as if they were filmed by a hidden camera up skirt when they went to a public toilet.
@@窃·格瓦拉 I agree. If you are in a public place, don't complain if others are filming. If you don't want to be in their film, politely ask them to edit you out. Not hard.
Awesome video as usual Blondie. I haven’t been to Beijing for about 9 years now but I’m keen to try Guotie next time! I must say you are very adventurous trying so many different types of food! You should get your parents to come over and try food with you. They’re a hoot! 😂 Thanks for sharing!
Don't worry Amy, for not liking 豆黃，the Empress Dowager was not a good person! (My great grandfather was the mayor of a town in China but joined the revolution that ended the monarchy system in China)
非得汇报一下政治
打卤面 isn't always cold fried noodles, they’re boiled noodles like regular noodles. And the sauce is what makes them 打卤-its a glutinous sauce with 木耳 and bamboo shoot and other stuff. Really delicious. The same noodles can be served w a black-brown sauce and pork chunks and it’s 杂酱面 which is where korean jajangmian comes from, basically the same product. Or at my house we do it with sliced cucumber and boiled cabbage & soybeans w balsamic vinegar for that beautiful color (i guess that’s the american in me haha but rice vinegar would work for a similar flavor) and you can have garlic smashed and pour vinegar into it, and then dip your noodles in that as well. Or some mix of all three. Very delicious. I think the translation you have is a bit misleading though!
艾米真的可爱哈哈，谷歌里面茶的吃法完全是整蛊😏，艾米竟然照做了哈哈😄。而我当初告诉一个外国朋友，吃炸酱面必须把碗舔干净后再来一碗面汤😄
So glad you liked Baodur. Most of traveller don't like it even for local.
only in China…LOL😂
As someone who grew up in Beijing and had been going to school right next to 护国寺 for 12 years😂😂 thank you for this video. It’s making me so nostalgic! I miss there so much!! But I do not approve the comment on 豌豆黄！I love it!!!
好想回家！！
That camera would greatly simplify life for many food UA-camrs. You cut off a few heads with it, but that will improve with familiarity. It seems so honest to admit to not liking some foods.
Amy I love your channel, your videos are so down to earth and informative. Hope you will explore the Xi An city someday.
Love from a fan in Malaysia
Xi An is a city in the province of ShanXi.
@@tingwang9465 thanks for the kind info.
Scott Morrison needs your help to solve the trade issue with China as you appears to be the only Australian having positive view on China.
No worries, Scott and his team have found the way to trade with US and India...But, wait and see...
Well, can't wait for your adventure of the world famous Beijing Duck. Hope to see that in your next content. It may sound cliche to have Beijing Duck but I am sure when you are Beijing, it's by default to have that. Maybe you can do it in a way to find a few different restaurants with different style to present it, cook it and eat it. Oh, one more thing.......your laughter is very adorable!
不好意思大家，我是amy的男友
the guy sitting opposite was having 打卤面, a typical Beijing style type of noodle dish, which is served with thick gravy on top.it's more like how you eat pasta, not some kind of cold noodle 打冷面。
You have a very strong stomach 😂... I remember you taking the intestine, miancha and earlier on some bean cake or something... yet I don't ever seeing you running to the WC.
Haha they’re all safe to eat! So no problem :) Only dairy makes me run to the WC 😂😂
Oh..I am a big fan of u. And I am also a memeber of Insta360. So happy that you like our product
this must be the least enjoyable food adventure so far lol
Thanks for sharing the tech you use damn cool
I am embarrassed by that old lady when she said “why don’t you date Chinese? They are excellent” What a 老糊涂,
Love the culture doesn’t mean have to date the people. And saying yourselves excellent to the foreigner is not the Chinese way.
你也太卑微了吧？
@@isabellatran3222 you show it to others instead of running your mouth
@@isabellatran3222 做人得谦卑，不是卑微！不是总吹自己好！
@Wild， I agree with you, I am embarrassed too. Two issues here. Firstly, 大妈made it like Chinese man couldn’t find a wife or too desperate for a wife. Secondly over bragged the superiority of Chinese men. Please, no one ethnic man is superior to another.
Excuse me, but no : *loving a culture only aesthetically* , but without romantic interest *is inhumane and objectifying.*
As a Vietnamese guy who loves French, Russian, and North African cultures, it is also because I love the women as well. *Neither what the woman in the restaurant said or did was wrong, and you know that, and somehow it made you uncomfortable.*
To be frank, whenever I befriend people who are different from me, I go straight to the women first and expect the men to "hook me up", or I straight up ditch them.
I am so delighted thanks for sharing
Come on, Wan Dou Huang is still way better than Vegemite at the first bite :)
Nooooo!! Lollll I’d prefer a slice of toast with vegemite over wan dou huang 😄😄😄
Great vid, Amy!
You know the quality of the cinematography is crazy.
Huguosi is a street full of memory for me. It literally where I grew up and spent most of my childhood at. There was a place for baodur right across the street from huguosi snack but closed down a couple years ago when I left China to US for schools. Before it went out of business, my family usually go together a couple times a year. I never appreciated the cooking there before knowing it was gone. In my opinion It is one of the best restaurant for Baodur in Beijing based on my sentimental judgement.
