I challenged my Cantonese friend to eat Beijing food for a day… 

The smiling face of an apologist for the corrupt and brutal Chinese dictatorship.

If you get used to this bean juice, you will like it very much

Like Japanese wasabi and European blue cheese, it was unacceptable at first, but I liked it after getting used to it

where do you find all these strange people????? yuck!

The cuisine in each region of China varies greatly, and the differences between the two neighboring provinces are comparable to British and French cuisine. The difference between North and South food is comparable to Russian and Indian cuisine😂

⁠@@gonku Don’t forget China borders Russia and India at the same time. Harbin is very influenced by Russia,

To this day, I'd say "country" is a mistranslation. If they had an emperor, it's an empire, and all the regions are separate countries. XD

@Lelannie Knoll: Most of the world has zero idea of how VAST China truly is. It's thousands of distinct cultures, flavors, due to distance and geographic diversity dictating what local natural resources are that pave the way for what you are going to use as ingredients. "The differences in palate is even more stark than in the US, if you think about it. China is a larger country, with a much longer history than the US. It means that regional differences have gotten a really long time to magnify, plus China has only recently modernized, so even dishes developed from less than 100 years ago haven't spread much."

homie check yourself. "even a Chinese native finds some food strange".... the fuck do you mean by that? that Chinese people eat everything?

Awwww... we are going to miss you Peter...

I'd love to see "Pierre" do Paris vlogs!

Hahahahaha I will still appear in Amy's video when I'm visiting China from time to time. Amy is also planning to visit me in Paris and we will surely do a French food adventure together, where I'll be speaking a lot of French 😂

@@AverytheCubanAmerican “Pierre in Paris” 😂

Hello from Christchurch 😂

If you think of Tibetan butter tea, this more general use of the word isn't so surprising. Maybe there is a connection via the Mongols and their tea culture.

Correct cha means anything boiled in water basically

Or I should say, any type of broth basically

Fascinating! And that makes sense! But what is the mian in here?

@@johaquila but Tibetan butter tea is technically very much tea, its kinda just like milk tea but you replace milk with butter

Well Peter definitely prefers to speak English in Amy’s channel or also just in general 😂

Peter here and says hi 😂

@@peterzhou372 He was willing to let Amy lead since “we’re in her part of the woods.” But you wonder how much of the “let’s torture Peter” claim she embraced since the North-South culture shock would make for good humorous content.

@@theodorehsu5023 Yeah I was doing this for the content lol

😂

How does it compare with smelly cheese?

Nothing about it even sounds remotely appetizing. A pungent, rotten-smelling by-product of some other production... looking like a gray sludge... alright, yall go ahead and eat that without me

​@myl9494 I believe its up there with blue cheese, smelly tofu, and nato

Peter says thank you 😊

⁠@@peterzhou372 Today, though, Amy was a mischievous naughty girl, no doubt enjoying your “culture shock” with the Beijing food. “The better the content from this, the more Peter will feel the effort will be worth it.” And the humor spices it up.

@@theodorehsu5023 Hahahahaha well yeah, that works exactly like this

Hahahahaha well even though Peter gets a lot of mean comments on Chinese social media, but still, appreciate it and hi to my fellow Cantonese 😊

Nameless Warrior, it depends on one's life experience or lack of life experience. And being open to trying new things along the way. Most of the world has zero idea of how VAST China truly is. Its thousands of distinct cultures, flavors, due to distance and geographic diversity dictating what local natural resources are that pave the way for what you are going to use as ingredients.

@@peterzhou372 Nooo why?! I hope the mean comments lessen in the future

@@CM_CM_ A, for me being openly gay. B, for me talking like an American and not representing any kind of Chinese demeanor. They are like get out of this country, you wannabe American / westerner.

@@peterzhou372 That's so disappointing, it must be so hard - not everyone needs to be a carbon copy :( I'm happy to see you're going to Paris! I hope all the people around you are more accepting

Cat Sidhe, not just the "north and the south". China is separated by a much higher spectrum of diversity that doesn't get around to other parts of China. You need to go to the village.

😂😂😂 Peter says hi and Peter can be like a drama queen from time to time

⁠@@peterzhou372You are fun, very intellectual and polyglot. Being drama queen from time to time is part of your charm. Love your personality.

@@gwent5914 thank you 😊😊😊

@@peterzhou372 Peter never change! You know as we become older adults everything is serious all the time, a little bit of cheer becomes even more appreciated! Besides both Amy and all of us appreciate you energy in the videos!

@@jackg5321 hahahahaha no Peter has never changed. This is the true self of Peter, funny, gay, speaking with a valley girl accent and becoming a drama queen from time to time 😂

Peter says hi 😊 I mean western dishes in China could either be a hit or a miss. I would actually only choose western dishes at the restaurants I’ve been to and know their quality.

Peter says hi 😊

Yep. Peter is going to become Pierre in August 😂 But don’t worry, he will still show up in Amy’s video from time to time 😂

Peter says hi 👋🏼

Peter = Slaayy 💅

Lebih enak chinese food di Jakarta atau Medan, kah?

国外的福建菜都不正宗

@@WENJILIU 你看不正宗， 我看不好吃🤣

In Malaysia , I think cooking taste might be adapted as many ingredients could not be found in the early days of migration and work. Also inter ( dialect) marriages might have mish mash some food originality. Can say Malaysia is more “cosmopolitan” so they are proudly known as Malaysian Chinese or just Malaysian to others as different races ( Indian, Malay and others) with their own different dialect groups merged over time. That is the specialty of Malaysia

Peter says hi 👋🏼 😊

Can't compare northern to southern US when that food is far more ubiquitous in the US. China is separated by a much higher spectrum of diversity that doesn't get around to other parts of China. You need to go to the village. Most of the world has zero idea of how VAST China truly is. It's thousands of distinct cultures, flavors, due to distance and geographic diversity dictating what local natural resources are that pave the way for what you are going to use as ingredients.

In China, the fight between the sweet and salty factions of tofu pudding and Zongzi is comparable to the American Civil War😂

The differences in palate is even more stark than in the US, if you think about it. China is a larger country, with a much longer history than the US. It means that regional differences have gotten a really long time to magnify, plus China has only recently modernised, so even dishes developed from less than 100 years ago haven't spread much. In contrast, the US, though it has a lot of differences in regional foods mostly due to immigrants, has still exported many of its foods throughout the US, and tastes have begun to homogenize. Even though the South prefers more spiced dishes, you still see a lot of it in the North, and demand for things like hot sauces and chili peppers is on the rise throughout the US.

no it's not. Avery you got things so twisted.

@@Krossfyre Yes! Also the south has gotten a significant brunt of the immigration since the 1970s, while the north, outside of NYC and DC, hasn't gotten as much as it did historically (though it still gets a decent chunk, just not as much as when shipping meant port cities and train connected cities got the brunt). Many southern cities like Houston and Atlanta have large Vietnamese communities. Atlanta has one of the biggest K-Towns in the U.S. And the variety of Central and South American foods grew substantially in the last two decades. And we're gotten quite a bit of Syrian and Iranian immigration across the whole country. Heck, when I studied French at GA Tech, the class specialized around West Africa since that's the local french speaking community in Atlanta. And the recent South Asian population has its niche in both sides of the country too. If anything I have noticed that the true difference in available *restaurants* is based on the Eastern European and Jewish immigration that NYC got. We don't have anywhere near that does Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, Kazakh or the like. You really have to go out to meat markets closer to Texas to find any of that in significant numbers. Atlanta is not a knish and pierogi city, that's for sure! (And yet we have a supermarket where you can get all your Eastern European classics--weird!)

Peter says hi 😂😂😂

That was less than a minute later in reality 😂

Why did you feel compelled to leave a history of peanut butter for such a tiny, fleeting comment 🤣

Si tu veux quand-même l’essayer, c’est à ton propre risque 😂😂😂

@@peterzhou372 Vous m’avez surpris. Je ne savais pas que tu parlais français...

@@josechong8207 dans la dernière vidéo où Amy et moi étaient à Shaodong, une petite ville dans la province de Hunan, j’ai parlé quelques phrases en français et en fait, je déménagerai à Paris cet août 😊

Peter says hi 😂

His reaction was just so funny.

@@jackli4385 Peter the drama queen 😂

Hello hello Peter here. I’ll be moving to France permanently but still, I’ll have chances to visit home in China and also guest host some videos 😊

Yes in northern China “mian” is flour, “Mian Tiao” is noodle

@@Mopoppy mostly wheat flour right? same as in the south?

@@kennethc3398 noodles in the south are actually more commonly made with rice flour. eg. guotiao

@@kennethc3398 yup.

Peter says hi and thank you :p

Peter was happy that he was only in Beijing for one day and was hopping on another flight back to Guangzhou the same night 😂

Peter says hi and thank you!

Peter says hi 😂

@@peterzhou372 Oh wow! Hi Peter! 💞

@@GigiStar01 hello there 😆 Glad that you like it

Peter is considering to do a RU-vid channel called “Pierre in Paris” 😂

@@peterzhou372 DO IT.

@@andrewhcit hahahaha well noted

Douji. You're a native Cantonese speaker. LOL🤣

Peter says hi 😂

Oh,no

@@peterzhou372 A fan here returns a greeting!👋

Peter says hi and thank you :D

Peter says hi 😊

Same as my wife and me. I’m Kiwi-born Chinese and have used them all my life but I have a way o f just rolling them around in my hand and managing somehow. My wife is a white Australian and uses them totally correctly. LOL

Peter holds his chopsticks very high.

He has Doen's syndrome

​​​@@kenchan7387😂😂 By choosing this idiot into the show, Amy just wants to make her boyfriend, the German lad, feel that no threats to their relationship.

@@kenchan7387 no you and your mom do

That’s Peter’s honest opinion. Sesame-flavored item would always be sweet in the south and it’s mind-boggling to see those made savory in the north 😂 always…

See, that was a huge challenge for peter lol

Peter says hi 😊

@@peterzhou372 and Amy - keep on keeping it real! 😄

Peter says hi 👋🏼

Peter says thank you 😊

@@peterzhou372 OMG! Looking forward to more vids with Amy... But please don't get jealous, 'coz I'm truly excited for Pierre to guest soonest. 😆

@@rhophi4157 hahahahahaha oh well then you will have to wait to see an episode of Pierre in Paris 😂

Peter says hi 👋🏼

Like literally I’m gonna cry

It's truly Amazing that lots of local Northerners people love that fermented Sour Mung Bean taste in that small Michelin approved restaurant and Peter and Amy didn't like it ! It shows that taste buds varies from regions to regions and this video proves it !Good job Amy and thanks for making my day with your facial expression Peter !

How about an episode of Peter meeting Jasmine 😂

@@peterzhou372 I thought they had already met 😅 Anyways I'd love to see the three of them together on a new food adventure! 😆😆😆

Hello to a fellow Cantonese here! We are on the same boat 😂

😂😂😂 Peter will surely plan it well

@@peterzhou372 😅😆😁

Is there a French Limburger?😂

😂😂😂 Pierre in Paris will definitely happen

I’m aware of that and I believe this dish would be available in Al the big cities in China. But it is to know that this style of savory soy milk comes from Shanghai and that’s still different from the Beijing ones.

@@peterzhou372 I just love how loyal you are to southern cuisine. Respect!

In HK apart from savory soy milk they also sell hot or cold sweet soy milk. I love the cold one which is frowned on by some!😂

@@AverytheCubanAmerican it’s not that I’ve never tried northern cuisine. I’m just not a huge fan of them 😂
