That can help. When I’m visiting a country and nobody speaks English I just point at the food and hope it’s good. Usually it’s good and sometimes even amazing even though I have no idea what’s going on.
I love the dedication to comparing both cities' jianbing. I haven't been back to Asia since 2010 and you transported me there better than any other video I've watched trying to satiate a Chinese street food craving. My girlfriend is now trying to work up the courage to try make a jianbing at home lol THANK YOU!
I visited Beijing twice around a number of years ago. It’s one of my favorite cities. American style Chinese food is nothing like food in China. In Beijing I stayed in a major chain hotel. And the reception staff spoke English. I mentioned the names of some Chinese foods sold in America with photos. They looked at each other totally confused lol.
For American Chinese food, most Americans define it as fried rice, general Tso chicken, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, etc…From my personal experience if i try to introduce them to authentic Chinese food, they won’t like it even if it’s good because the American version is wired into their taste buds
Most of the standard Chinese American dishes served in Chinese restaurants in America that cater mainly to non-Chinese market were based on dishes found in the Southern parts of China. Especially from the Guangdong province. This is because the original Chinese immigrants to the US came from this province. Over the years, these Cantonese/Guangdong dishes became modified to suit American paletes and because of lack of original ingredients.
I've only had jianbing only once, not for me. That same for most food in Beijing. On the other hand, Shanghai cuisine and the surrounding provinces are amazing.
I love chinese food, especially the sandwich with the egg and chips looks really amazing. Some chilli or spicey sauce would for sure make really good! I've had Beijing duck in Beijing 10 years ago and I really found it amazingly delicious.
I love it too. The issue is that when visiting an Asian country you normally have to go to a tourist area where they have an English menu. The hidden local places where there’s no English menu and no English speaking can be a challenge
@@ramencurry6672 My brother was studying back than in China and we could go where ever we liked throughout China, was an amazing once in a lifetime experience probably..
@@DutchFlavour That’s awesome. I do feel that it’s possible to go anywhere too without speaking the language. I did it in Japan. If you get lost or confused you basically stumble through and get by
@@ramencurry6672 Jep in the south of spain most people talk Spanish to, lived there for 3 months and finally managed to speak Spanish myself. And than I decided to go to Thailand for 2 months which is where I am at now it's amazing here!
Dude, I just went to a burger joint and had a patty melt, onion rings and a drink all in paper containers for $16 in the DC area. Quanjude is a great deal LOL.
You have to try 锅包肉 肉夹馍 油泼面 新疆烤肉串 新疆烤包子 大盘鸡 桂林米粉 柳州螺蛳粉 虾饺 恭城油茶 That should keep you busy. If you're heading south to Guangxi province let me know, we can go to 恭城 and have real 油茶
Both spots have amazing skills on those round griddles, and you can certainly see the difference in each batter. I need to explore more Chinese street food, where I am in Queens is mostly Korean. Either way, they both look excellent... And, I'd be excited just for the bullet train ride!
UA I'm out in Taipei any chances of you rolling through after your trip in China? Should check out some of the local snacks and of course the beef noodle soup!
You can do it even if you have no idea what’s going on. I only know English but Just make hand gestures or whatever. I’ve done this in Brazil, Japan and Haiti. You may not get exactly what you want but if it’s a good place the food will be delicious
oh damn man, I had this the first time I went to China - I was way more of a white devil back then and I still thought it was one of the tastiest thing I've ever had - now I really really want one and need to find one in NY STAT!
I noticed the second didn't include a protein except the extra egg. I like the Chinese donut more than the fried wonton skin. Still looked good though.
I just discovered this for the first time at a market in Sydney just a week after watching this video. Was delicious, although the price was $15 AUD for one with everything in it 😂
Jianbing looks interesting concept. Bit dry to me I think, I would prefer to have one with like 1/4 of the ammount of crisps, and some veggies and duck meat instead.
Sorry about that first French crepe look like a cheap hot dog cut in half it's just all French crepes and carbs no meat or vegetables ! Thanks for posting though😢
I like your videos and reviews but you REALLY REALLY need to stop using these youtube songs, they are just terrible. I understand they are free but there must be something better than the song you usually use...
There's a video that featured your Mr.Beastburger review video. You're getting up there in popularity. ua-cam.com/video/ALXsnf5zcMM/v-deo.html At the 4 minute mark. It explains why your experience at mr.beastburger was so bad. I went to that place a month or 2 after it opened and it was pretty good for me. But things changed rapidly for that company.

@@ramencurry6672Indeed, but one never knows if they are gouging unless one can understand the language…lol.
For sure! I actually speak the language as well but not as fluently as I'd like. I do not read it though
@@uaeats
Why don't you learn Hanzi ?
You already speak it !
@@uaeats I have 4 nights in NYC..What 4 restaurants should I go to?
Love your videos bc it’s truly honest to the core .. keep it up and hope you make a lot of money as well in future making videos
Thank you! Yep I always want to keep it real
Congrats on the sponsorship!! Love seeing your channel grow!
Thank you!
Whenever I'm hungry I can pop a video on, always does the trick. UA should definitely have more subscribers, great content!
Glad you like my vids!

Well done, UA! I really enjoyed your review. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Dude JBG is so good. That hoisin sauce...
Hard to find a good one in the US
@@uaeats It's gotta be DIY.
The Kenji Lopez using a tortilla for jianbing hack is god tier.
Not hoisin it’s 甜面酱tian mian jiang quite similar though
@@pinkelephant5829 Oh yeah I always get those two mixed up.
Another great job, UA! Thanks for another great review!
Nice review UA, congrats on getting up to 20k subscribers! You deserve a whole lot more.
Thank you! Hopefully the channel will have 20K more at this time next year!
UA must be in Beijing to meet the parents ! enjoy and good luck 👍
I'll also be in China next month. Looking forward to experience the same stuff! Haven't gone back in over a decade.
Have a great trip!

Nice vid! Would have loved to see you with Blondie in China to take you on a food trip 😊
Looks delicious!
Fascinating, absorbing content.
Thanks!
The best UA-cam channel of the world!💙🩵💚💛🧡❤️
Thank you!
Looks like a plenty plenty big meal for an excellent price. It's basically a win-win all around, isn't it? Nice video.
Love the Chinese music in the background
Congrats on the sponsor!
Thank you!
You rock Tina.
I agree!

To each their own! I need to visit Shanghai sometime

8:50 OMG that’s 15 minutes far from my home in Tianjin
Cool! It's a great city
I like how in most of your videos you incorporate ragtime music into them; it's kind of funny.
I love the ragtime music. Some people complain but whatever.
Awesome, bro. You’re showing us a part of the world we don’t get access to 🍴 thanks again!
You're welcome! Yep I didn't want to miss an opportunity to make some vids when abroad
Dude, I just went to a burger joint and had a patty melt, onion rings and a drink all in paper containers for $16 in the DC area. Quanjude is a great deal LOL.
I have had Jian Bing in Beijing. It was by far the best food in all China. 很好吃
You have to try
锅包肉
肉夹馍
油泼面
新疆烤肉串
新疆烤包子
大盘鸡
桂林米粉
柳州螺蛳粉
虾饺
恭城油茶
That should keep you busy. If you're heading south to Guangxi province let me know, we can go to 恭城 and have real 油茶
There wasn't any sausage on second food
Both spots have amazing skills on those round griddles, and you can certainly see the difference in each batter. I need to explore more Chinese street food, where I am in Queens is mostly Korean. Either way, they both look excellent... And, I'd be excited just for the bullet train ride!
For sure, they make it look easy! And the bullet train ride was cool and pretty smooth. Hope we get them in the US sometime
试试山东煎饼，煎饼里面放上章丘大葱和炸过的临沂虾皮加上酱和辣椒酱，太好吃了。。。有一次吃饭点到这个也要了两次。。。😅😅😅
UA I'm out in Taipei any chances of you rolling through after your trip in China? Should check out some of the local snacks and of course the beef noodle soup!
I'm back in the US now but Taiwan is on my to do list!
Cool food adventure man! Loved the shot of the menu - nothing in English true locals only
You can do it even if you have no idea what’s going on. I only know English but Just make hand gestures or whatever. I’ve done this in Brazil, Japan and Haiti. You may not get exactly what you want but if it’s a good place the food will be delicious
Did you get candied hawthorns on a stick? I had that as a kid and I remember they were amazing 😋
Heck yes! Tang hulu. Amazing!
good work love the videos you seem really nice hope you do well
oh damn man, I had this the first time I went to China - I was way more of a white devil back then and I still thought it was one of the tastiest thing I've ever had - now I really really want one and need to find one in NY STAT!
They're awesome!
What does UA stand for?
JianBing now cost 16 RMB mow? expensive. It was 1 when I was young
No sausage on the second one not fair comparison 😮
I noticed the second didn't include a protein except the extra egg. I like the Chinese donut more than the fried wonton skin. Still looked good though.
You're right, the second one didn't have sausage in it. I still preferred it though
That hot dog thing looked great.
1000th like 🔥

That’s a lot of fried stuff..
Do you deliver?
You’re my budget Mike Chen 😂 Much love ❤
He’s actually better than Mikey Chen. Mikey Chen is not really truthful with his food tastes, Same with Mark Weins
@@ramencurry6672 Nah, Mike Chen just doesn’t post stuff he doesn’t like or worthy of being reviewed.
He’s better than the FUNG brothers
I'll take that as a compliment!
Yo tao or however you spell it, is more like fried dough/bread than a donut. It’s not sweet nor is any sweet things put on it
Yeah it's sometimes called a Chinese Cruller, never heard it called a donut lol
I meant donut more so in its texture and that it's fried fluffy dough. Not so much its sweetness
Dumplings, dumplings, and dumplings.
Who is the lady’s face on the bag?
Is your name actually UA
It's his Initial, dumba**
We can tell UA dont like that ready meal cuz he didnt squint neither did he say "ohhhh"
this vid was piping hot
Didn't realise you can't read Chinese. Your intonation and pronunciation are spot on, though!
Thanks! But man way too many Chinese characters to memorize...
when will Tina be in the video
She’s probably avoiding the camera because I imagine she’s stunningly gorgeous and to protect herself from trolls.
Eat a Jenbean in Tenbean.
im up
Wow, you beat me to the first comment!
Does your gf get pissed you talk to the camera instead of paying attention to her?
Enjoy the sewer oil!
Yes yes yes yes yes yes 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Chinese version of a hot dog 👌
What? You said YouTiao is like donut?? No......!
Here's a tip, stop playing music in your background while you are doing your food review
Sorry about that first French crepe look like a cheap hot dog cut in half it's just all French crepes and carbs no meat or vegetables ! Thanks for posting though😢
Have you tried this dish? Even a mediocre version is better than a standard American junk food item
There is wayyyyy too much bread and crunch, not enough of meat and sauce for me.
next , try eating bats
Too much talking..just eat lol
I like your videos and reviews but you REALLY REALLY need to stop using these youtube songs, they are just terrible. I understand they are free but there must be something better than the song you usually use...
