Chinese Dumplings Changed Our Lives 🇨🇳 

Share this video around to support us here on RU-vid ❤

In China, most restaurants allow customers to bring drinks from outside.

This metro station was really crazy. It had such a huge selection of food!!!

Almost every travel vlogger turns to food vlogger when they in China😁

Hey, i can tell u guys are very polite but a little bit introversive? But don't be nervous when you order food in restaurants, just relax and ask people for help, like recommendations. Chinese people generally are very tolerant and friendly. They will love to help u guys.

hI Naomi and Luke Thank you for your super videos. However, it would be nice if you could make some video in Xinjiang so that the Westerner ''haters'' that never been in China, will be dubanked by reality when watching the truth in your Xinjiang videos ----- Hope you will start videos in Xinjiang ...... Take care and best wishes to both

If you don’t like spicy food, you can choose to go to Guangzhou. The food there is famous for being not spicy but delicious.

Hi Luke and Neomi, glad you're enjoying your time in China. The sauce you put in the soup is actually vinegar. A lot of chinese people like dip their dumplings or wontons in vinegar. Next time you may just ask for a condiment dish or a small bowl. Put the vinegar or soy sauce or mix both together and dip your wontons or dumplings in it. Both styles of wonton you've ordered, in soup and in chili sauce, are popular in China. Fun fact, even though they are both actually wontons. In soup style, we would call it wonton(雲吞). But in sauce style, we would call it "Chao Shou" (抄手). That's actually stated at the name of the store you went to. I guess Chao Shou/wonton is their specialty.

It looks like a casual snack, but it's actually a good combination! Tofu, Chinese salad, potato chips...

I really like your videos from China ❤🎉 Its Amazing

23:15 that was not soy sauce but dark vinegar. lol A lot of Chinese people like mixing in vinegar with dumpling or noodles. It adds a bit of a sour kick and it can somehow make the spices less spicy. Have some cold milk or yogurt. They can help alleviate the spicy and numbing sensation.

As a native of Chengdu, Sichuan, I have watched all the videos of your visit to Chengdu. You have said a lot of compliments about Chengdu. Your videos are very well done and down to earth. Thank you very much. I really want to take you to taste authentic Sichuan food and visit surrounding attractions (Chengdu is actually more of a tourist transit point, and the scenery is all in the west)

that dish you had was indeed tofu, they are called silken tofu. there are thousands of ways to make tofu, that one was just one of them, it was very tender and smooth, unlike the firm tofu you usually get in western countries.

Most of our restaurants in China can add dishes. Just call the waiter over. Don't worry, everyone is very friendly.❤

21:40 chop stick should be holding towards the upper end at 60 to 70% spot. The lower one rest on your middle finger and the upper one should be held by your thumb and index finger(by pinching). The thumb and index finger control the upper chop stick to move up and down to pick stuffs up. Chop stick operates like a tong while your hand holds the both pieces together. They always operate in a parallel manner, at no time forming an X. When picking stuffs up, your palm face upward usually gives a more stable result and very rare case your palm should face down unless you reach to grab stuffs far away. Moderate or light force should be use. If you're fighting it, it's wrong.

You would usually order white rice with the dishes you ordered. And that white jelly is tofu. Usually the round chewey jelly in milk Tea is made from tapioca flour.

There are thousands of kinds of delicious noodles in China, and everywhere you go, there are local noodles that are super delicious, and I look forward to your continued travel to other cities in China. Have a nice trip.

有人曾经说过，他要三天就吃遍四川美食，可是三年过去了，他依旧在四川尝试各种美食。😅

red oil cold noodles is a great traditional sichuan dish to order the white square thing with pork on it is toufu

Naomi & Luke, really glad you enjoyed the food, thanks for giving me such a detailed insight into how people try a completely new type of food. Life is a series of experiences, and you've enriched yours and mine by sharing what you feel, thank you!

Fantastic culinary review!

good video! and welcome to Chongqing, which is another big city near Chengdu. there food is very popular in China. you will love it.

Watching you two tasting Chinese food always make me drooling!

looking forward for more adventurous and joyful China vlogs of you

非常高兴你们去了成都旅行。那里是我的家乡，你们去第二个店吃的不是饺子，是抄手。成都特色饺子是钟水饺，抄手是龙抄手。还有糖油果子，赖汤圆，钵钵鸡，担担面，红糖糍粑等

I like your videos very much, dare to try new things, and tolerate everything peacefully. I hope you can share more about the journey❤❤❤❤❤

Welcome to beautiful Sichuan. I wonder how long you will stay in Sichuan? As a Sichuanese, I strongly recommend you to go to Leshan-Emeishan in Sichuan. There are the world-famous Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei, as well as more delicious food than Chengdu. Chengdu can be reached in an hour by express train; in addition, you can Go to Jiuzhaigou, the water and scenery there are so beautiful, it’s like a paradise on earth, and then you can go to Dujiangyan to see giant pandas.

Salivating the whole video🤤😍

The sauce you put into wanton soup is not soy sauce, it is vinegar. Usually we dip vinegar when we eat dumplings. Some people like to pour a little bit in noodles, it would build the flavor. You could also try “钟水饺”, it is a traditional brand of dumpling in Sichuan. Enjoy!😊

Wow, that's really cool! Chengdu is famous for its delicious food, and the coolest metro stations in China. It's definitely a really exciting experience! 🧡🤩👍👍

最近几个视频发现你们两位都是在市中心活动，时间充裕可以去市区南边的高新区和天府新区看一看 那边更现代化一些，有很多大型的中央公园 购物中心。也可以去东边的龙泉山去走走 有很多特色民宿和农家乐可以吃到地方特色美食。

Love how adventurous you both are

There are many types of tofu in China and the one you tried is one of them, the tender one, which is mostly just slightly cured soy milk. It’s commonly used in cold dishes seasoned with vinegar, chili and maybe soy sauce.

Hey friends, you can try using translation software to communicate with locals

They have different textured levels of Tofu, I seen that wobbly version before in Australia. Most of the Tofu dishes I've had use the more solid version for stir fry and deep frying.

Actually it's not dumpling, its name is Chao-shou (similar to wonton) in Sichuan province

the jelly you were referring is actually called 嫩豆腐（Soft Tofu）. Soft Tofu often makes great cold dish and is very good for health.

Sichuan and Chongqing like to eat spicy food, and the more you eat spicy food, the more addictive it becomes

Dumplings are somewhat festival food in some areas.

Where is ur next destination? It’s so fun to travel with you guys 😊

so cute you two!

Great as always I always enjoy every second of your videos Watching and rewatching old ones (Turkey now) from Pennsylvania You guys are doing an amazing job ❤😊❤

Nice. I like relax travel.

The 'tofu' thing that you referred to was called '凉粉（Cold Jelly)' I suppose. It is made of green beans or rice soup and it is solidified via lime(a kind of edible chemical). If you did not taste any flavor of beans then it was probably made of rice, which is Chengdu special. Though I have lived in Chengdu for more than 20 years, I hardly see this dish sold in a whole chunk. Usually it is chopped into small cuboid like very thick noodles and mixed with the sauce.

Here are some tips for dining in China: 1. Avoid sugary drinks. not considered healthy. Instead, opt for plain water or unsweetened tea. 2. Pair dishes with rice. It helps to balance the flavors of the dishes. 3. Mix your sauces thoroughly.so that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. 4. You can ask the waiter or waitress to reduce the amount of chili peppers in your dishes. Simply say, "少放点辣椒" (shǎo fàng diǎn jiāo láo), which means "less chili peppers." 5. Learn a few basic Chinese phrases,can be helpful when dining out. Here are a few phrases to learn: 这个 (zhè ge) - this 一个 (yī gè) - one 一份 (yī fèn) - one portion 多少钱？ (duō shǎo qián?) - how much? 怎么卖？ (zěn me mài?) - how much is it? 少放些辣椒 (shǎo fàng xiē jiāo láo) - less chili peppers 微辣 (wēi là) - mild spicy

Cue a little lesson, on the dinner table in most of western China, if there are two sauce-like condiment bottles. The taller one is usually vinegar and the shorter one is soy sauce. This is commonly known as "tall vinegar and short soy sauce".

China's territory is the third largest in the world. There are many famous scenic spots, There are 56 ethnic groups in China. If you have the opportunity, you can travel to Xinjiang and Tibet. There are no restrictions on foreigners. Only those who have been there will know how sacred the snow-capped mountains and lakes are.Tibet is a holy land of Buddhism, with snow-capped mountains, lakes, and many rare animals. Sichuan Province is adjacent to Tibet Province. You can travel to Tibet, but be aware that the plateau is hypoxic, so it is best to take the high-speed train there.

Many days, still in Chengdu? There r still many delicious, fun, and beautiful places, Beijing, Shanghai, and Northeast China.😁

In fact, I really recommend that you visit Hangzhou after your trip to Chengdu. It is the city that best represents the "Jiangnan" with a blend of the bustling and open atmosphere of Shanghai and a strong cultural atmosphere rooted in Chinese tradition. It was also the center of ancient Chinese culture, and many famous literary figures from Chinese history have left behind poems there (similar to Athens in Greece? I don't know).the scenery of Hangzhou is printed on the currency. But I suggest you come in spring or autumn (Mar. to May, Oct. to Dec.)

Learn simple basic Mandarin when u come on ur next trip. It would greatly help u to get issues settled! Happy adventure

😋🖖thank you for the pictures

I am going to Chengdu in September and will definitely check out the food stalls under Tianfu Square, thanks for the video!😅👍

快要夏天的現在，特別適合吃辣一點～

Always Hold the chopsticks above middle.3/4hight is perfect.a little tip about how to use chopsticks. Have fun guys❤❤❤

Glad to see you guys getting more in China in depth. Try to scan the QR at corner of the table, normally the menu will show in your phone, and you can order and pay directly without talking to anyone.

You can taste the local peaches in Chengdu, which are fresh on the market. It is recommended to buy them at Hema Fresh Supermarket or Fruit Shop.

That dumpling place is a chain store now but used to be a tiny shop in a residential alley, they are really great wontons. We used to have a same store in Sydney but closed down last year :(

hahha that's not soy sauce on the dumpling table, it's vinegar as written ;)

You went on a trip to China and learned Chinese, which is great! 你们去了一次中国旅游,学会了中文,真棒!!!😁

What a lovely couple! Really love your videos!

那个真的是豆腐，不过是南方豆腐，跟北方豆腐不太一样，更滑嫩，应该彻底搅拌一下再吃。最重要的一句：放醋！！！醋！醋瓶一般就在桌子上😂

Amazing为你们点赞👍👍👍

Thanks!

那个应该是凉拌豆腐，上面应该有榨菜粒，皮蛋粒等

In China, we normally buy a drink from the special drinking ( like bubble teas) shop, and bring to the restaurant we gonna eat at. You can try some bubble/fruit teas ❤

OMG, my mouth water is dripping down when I see your eating cold noodle! I love Sichuan Cold Noodle😍🥰❤❤❤

Welcome to Guangzhou if you can. The food here is also delicious and not spicy. Morning tea is also a good experience.😊

You can take a look at the New Century Global Center, which is the largest single building in the world

最开心的事，是看你俩尝东西！🥰🥰🥰

Enjoy China❤

I want those potatoes haha, the dumplings looked amazing as well! Thanks for sharing.. Can't wait for so many food options in Bangkok!

if you feel too spicy, you can put some vinegar to reduce the food spicy.😊

That "jelly" is tofu you ordered, there are many different types of Tofu, just like there are different types of cheeses.

I really admire the courage to try

老外去四川吃辣的很容易拉肚子，希望你们俩健康。不要吃太辣

Dumplings and fried rice are always the best if you make them yourself! ! No rebuttal accepted!！By the way, what you are eating are Chaoshou, not dumplings

实际上你吃的是抄手，大馄饨，在中国并不是饺子，在国外当然把包子 饺子 馄饨 抄手 云吞 都叫饺子😅。如果你要吃叫你北方人的饺子更加的正宗，你可以去对比尝试，祝你们玩的愉快！

hey，sending some love 😘

Expect pandas to appear in the video. I think a lot of people are looking forward to it.

Thanks for your nice video

You guys are really lovely and fun.

I suggest you try Haidilao hot pot, which is one of the famous chain hot pot restaurants in China. It's definitely worth your try! You can find it on the map, and it is located in almost every city.❤

你吃到的几乎是特色小吃！在成都你应该尝试“中餐”，真正老百姓的家常菜。“洞子口陈氏凉粉”值得去尝试下！

In a perfect world we don't have to love each other food, trandition, culture etc, but we can co-exsiting, cooperate, making the earth a better place for all of us.

Mapo tufu dish usually they cut it but this one look whole tofu with mince pork and chilli oil, Spring onion on top that really nice too.

I see a sign for 担担面 dan dan noodles. That's an iconic local dish you need to try. It's not spicy!

It is heard that international friends call every food with flour outside and filling inside DUMPLINGS... Actually they have different names according to their shapes... What you eat in this video is Huntun(馄饨)... In Sichuan it is also called Chaoshou(抄手)... We also have Jiaozi(饺子) and Baozi(包子), etc... 😊😊If you want know more, ask a Chinese who can speak fluent English...

Naomi's open-minded and kind personality reminds me of my mom ( i miss her so dearly😞)

There is a dish called Coke Chicken Wings, which is made of Coke. It will definitely be very suitable for your taste.

Interesting video👍😊

nice video. but I think it's vinegar on the table though. In addition, feel free to take drink or milk tea to any restaurant.

it is Toufu, basically served raw with pickles and spices on top, of course there is no such thing as "raw" Toufu, because it has to be cooked to make it :)

gotta mix up those noodles. all the favoring is at the bottom. my guess is you probably got a slice of raw chili or the seeds. gotta pick those out when you see them as top garnishes. chili oil in itself is really not that spicy.

that is tofu, the special kind of fine-texture tofu.

One reason why Chengdu is popular is that it is a core tourist transit city in southwestern China. Many tourists from coastal cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen choose to come to Chengdu first. In addition to the famous hot pot and pandas in Chengdu, there are also many first-class popular scenic spots, such as Wenshu Temple, Kuanzhai Alley, Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Panda Base, etc. These scenic spots are relatively dense in the urban area, and there are also many relatively small but distinctive places worth visiting (such as Dongjiao Memory). The total number of these scenic spots is actually quite large. After visiting these places, you can leave Chengdu and go to the surrounding areas. The famous tourist attractions are Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, Qingcheng Mountain, Mount Emei, Huanglong, Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area and so on. The second scenic spots will be more, and you can go further to Yunnan, Xizang, Xinjiang and other places. So Chengdu has become one of these tourism destinations

What app are you using to translate the menu so fast? Everything looked great, yummy.

The most common mistake when using chopsticks, is holding it too low. Hold it higher towards the end for more leverage, especially for bigger/heavier objects. It will be much easier!

Wow! ❤

In China, cold food is most commonly consumed in the summer, but not in the winter. As you know, protein from tofu i.e. soybeans is healthier than that from meat. To be an attractive tourist destination in China, it has to be made of the following three beauties: Beautiful sceneries, beautiful/yummy food and beautiful people admixed over and over again, a case in point is the so-called 8D punk city of Chongqing.

When you guys get to Shanghai, there's a place called "Jia Jia Tang Bao" on Huang He Road, near people's square. It's a little down to earth eatery, but is literally the best Shanghainese style dumpling in the world. It's a delicate style of dumpling which has soup inside, some people like to suck out the soup, then eat with some ginger and vinegar. Must try.
