Google black chicken in indonesia we called it kintamani, its bitter n herbal delicious bcoz many herbs, medicines inside, yea chinese heat vs heat is like english hangover then drink beer again, hhee.
The translator you are looking for is very professional and explains in detail. Guangzhou is China's most famous food city with a history of 2,000 years. It is most famous for its food, not its architecture. So you can stay in Guangzhou for a few more days and try more different foods. Guangzhou food is particularly suitable for foreigners. It is relatively light and delicious. Sichuan food is spicy and many people are not used to it. If you are not used to Chinese food, you can also choose Western food. Guangzhou has 3,000 cafes, 222 bakeries, and Western restaurants, so there are so many choices.
As a Cantonese, I need to explain the herbal tea. In the Cantonese culture, there is something called "damp heat" in the body. It is something that will accumulate over a long period of time, and once it accumulates to a certain extent, it will cause you to get sick. Therefore, in order to remove the damp heat in the body, you need to drink herbal tea. This herbal tea is called "凉茶" in Cantonese, which is directly translated into English as "cool tea". Therefore, for Cantonese people, this herbal tea is not drunk only when they are sick, but is drunk very often, usually once or twice a week. Because Cantonese people like to drink soup also, there is such a saying that the water in the body of Cantonese people is half soup and half herbal tea. In addition, in my opinion, the tour guide missed something very important, that is, Cantonese barbecue and chicken. Cantonese barbecue includes roast goose, barbecued pork, etc. And about the chicken, there is a saying in Guangdong: No chicken can leave Guangdong alive. If you don't eat chicken in Guangdong, it will be a very big loss. I suggest you go to a famous old restaurant in Guangzhou to have a meal, which will give you a deeper understanding of Cantonese cuisine.
It actually make sense that when your body trapped a lot of heat, the best way to get it out is by drinking hot water or soup. At the instant it may appear to be nonsensical but soon you sweat the heat is taken out from your body and the draft from outside will cool down your wet sweaty body surface.
Once again a superb vlog. I've found your China trip a fascinating insight into the country. It definitely is far more advanced using avaliable technology than I was aware of. Thanks again
Cantonese people pay attention to using natural ingredients to balance their physical condition, so every day food and ingredients will have different benefits for the body, soup is a good choice, but it will be selected according to different seasons and different physical conditions, so it is not easy to place an order
@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1839">30:39</a> - ginger is also medicinal - some people prefer ginger over medicine for nuasea because it works better
Tip for you both in the future. If you have a can of drink. Tap the can a few times on top. By doing this, the gas falls down in the can. But you have to do it a few times on top where you drink out of. Then open the can hope this helps in the future so that you don’t get spray coming out.
For some additional knowledge:There is so called Chinese saying that Cantonese will eat anything that moves and has four legs , except tables . Among different ethnic Chinese groups ,Cantonese food put a lot more emphasis on soups. As for Luo Han , it means Arhat , a stage in Buddhism when one has attained Nirvana . Another equivalent stage is Bodhisattva.
Stop repeating that stereotyped idea about ''eating anything that moves''. Although you think it shows Chinese's adaptability, resilience and survival skills but most Westerners think of this in a very negative light, in that it is very barbaric and disgusting to eat everything that moves. It just gives them extra ammunition to attack.
I am Cantonese, why must i ridicule my own ethnic groups. This is a saying which the Chinese even knows. U can see it from another angle. That means Cantonese don't waste food. They eat anything that is edible and are not picky. Understand?
@@s._3560The Chinese made the worse criticism against their race even more than the foreigners. They are the Chinese ppl with extreme thought and criticise for the sake of criticising. Don't compare them to me.
what a nice experience is it !!，honestly i am a college student study in Guangzhou ,thanks for your series viedos and good local guide which is make me know about some special restaurants hiding in downtown, so i can't wait to explor its .Btw i planing to have a trip in korea ,your koera travel videos published in the past can give me so reference!!🤩
In an age when the entire globe is stuck with employability and arguing how to train their people, I think LostPlate is quietly doing the best job of recruiting, training and imparting the attitude they conceive .... I'm saying this after just two videos... Do convey my appreciation to your next LostPlate host 👍
Glad you think so! Sue was super informative and we had such great conversations with her about literally everything - from topics related to Guangzhou city, through food types, local life and people's customs 😍
@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="190">3:10</a> - as long as people don't get hurt, it's much more efficient - note the throughput of traffics - in China, you are more likely to die in a vehicle than on a bike for a driven distance
Oh yes! I personally love to think that I'm nourishing my body so for me the tour was just amazing! And knowing that Guangzhou locals can have it on a daily basis I'm actually a bit jealous 🤭❤️ [Karolina]
That chinese guide speaks eccellente english!!! I am so so so jealous!!! By the way i think that she comes from Sichuan 😂And you two guys are just so so welcome to China, you two are so so nice 😊 hi from italy by a guy from Chengdu😂
Welcome to China, if you have the opportunity to travel to more cities, there are many beautiful cities, food and scenery waiting for you in China, I wish you a pleasant journey.
Actually China has“八大菜系”，8 food systems. But I think Guangdong Food suits foreigners best without too much strong flavor. It is very happy to see you enjoying.😂
There are eight major cuisines in Chinese cuisine, and Guangdong cuisine is one of them. As someone who loves spicy food, it was really difficult for me to accept it when I was in Guangdong because Cantonese cuisine is very light. Shanghai cuisine was not selected due to its limited audience, and I also don't like to eat it. Most Chinese people like Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine because they have rich seasonings, diverse tastes and are very hot.
Eight Major Chinese Regional Culinary Styles (八 ba (eight) 大 da (big) 菜 cai (dishes) 系 xi (series)): Yue (Cantonese) from Guangdong province (Guangzhou is the capital city), Chuan (from Sichuan province), Zhe (Zhejiang province), Jiang (Jiangsu province), Lu (Shandong province), Xiang (Hunan province), Min (Fujian province), and Hui (Anhui province). Cantonese cuisine is the most well known both domestically and abroad because Guangzhou was the sole port city the world during the Qing Dynasty. Cantonese cuisine emphasized on original flavors, freshness and mildness, letting ingredients flavors express themselves without much use of condiments. Chuan (Sichuan) cuisine is characterized with mala, ma 麻 （numbness) and la 辣 (spicy) or numb and spicy flavors with heavy use of peppercorns. Xiang (Hunan) cuisine is characterized by spiciness. Zhejiang and Jiangsu provincial cuisines are characterized by tinge of sweetness. Signature Cantonese dishes include our familiar ones oversea such as claypot rice, cheung fun (Chang fen in Mandarin) (cheung/chang 腸 = intestine; fun/fen where you get the Sino-Vietnamese word pho 粉 = rice noodles), dim sum, wonton noodle soup where the noodles are called zhu 竹 (bamboo) sheng 升 （rise) mian 面 （noodles) or bamboo pressed noodles bound firmly together with duck eggs to give it its extreme firmness and bounciness, roasted duck/geese, char siu 叉燒 （chashu in Sino-Japanese and xa xiu in Sino-Vietnamese) which literally means “fork (cha) grilled (siu)” because barbecue used to involved forks grilling over a fire, roasted suckling pigs, stewed cow offals with white carrots/turnips, etc. Guangzhou is in the subtropical area facing the ocean so it’s very hot and humid year round due to heat evaporating the ocean water turning it into humidity. Thus, Cantonese love to drink their herbal tea (liang 涼 （leung in Cantonese) (cool) cha 茶 （tsa in Cantonese) tea) and slow cooked soups filled with herbs and a variety of vegetables to release the heat trapped inside the body due to high humidity in the air not allowing us to sweat. This tourist guide basically brings you to all taste many signature dishes of Cantonese cuisine which also spread to Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Sinospheric cultures like Japan, Korea and Vietnam. I am glad you are enjoying your time in China and learning the profound 5000 years of ancient civilization and tasting all the signature dishes along with learning their history. Guangzhou also has two of the world’s oldest mosques, Xianxian Mosque and Huaisheng Mosque built right after the founding of Islam in 620AD. Guangzhou was called Panyu. During the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC), General Zhao Tuo (Trieu Da in Vietnamese) 趙佗 was commissioned by Qin Shihuang to do the Baiyue Conquest in the south (Bach Viet in Vietnamese) (Bai 百 = hundred; Yue 越 = regions south of the Yangtze River). He founded the Nan Yue (Nam Viet in Vietnamese) Kingdom, which also started the 1000 year rule over Vietnam with the founding of the Vietnamese Zhao Dynasty 趙朝 （Trieu Dynasty in Vietnamese). Rice noodles fen 粉 (fun in Cantonese and pho in Sino-Vietnamese) was invented at that time, when his soldiers missed the noodles in the north, so they used rice plentiful in the wet south to create rice noodles. The name “Viet Nam” itself comes from reversing the two characters for the Nam Viet Kingdom (Nan Yue Kingdom in Mandarin) founded by General Zhao Tuo. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces of China used to be called Wu Yue 吳越。Fujian province used to be called Min Yue 閩越。Guangdong, Guangxi and northern Vietnam used to be called Nan Yue 南越 （Nan/Nam 南 = south). Yunnan province used to be called Dian Yue 滇越。 Guizhou province used to be called Ye Lang 夜郎。Vietnam has the Lac Viet and Ao Viet people. All of them are considered the Bai Yue (Hundred Yue) people of southern China. There is an archaeological museum called Museum of the Mausoleum of the Nanyue Kingdom right in Guangzhou, built by the successor and grandson of General Zhao Tuo, whose name was Zhao Mo. For more details, google search for “Nan Yue Kingdom” “Baiyue Conquest”, “General Zhao Tuo”, “invention of rice noodles”, etc. Guangzhou has several nicknames: Hua 花 (Flower) Cheng 城 (City); Wu 五 (Five) Yang 羊 （Goats) Cheng 城 （City; Sui 穗 (rice) Cheng 城 （city)….. Yue Xiu Park (Yue 越 = southern region of Yangtze River) Xiu 秀 = beautiful) has the Five Goats Statue where one of the goats has a tassle of rice in its mouth. The mother river of Guangzhou is Zhu 珠 (Pearl) Jiang 江 （River). There are night river cruises as you have already seen. You should check out some of these archaeological sites in Guangzhou in addition to their amazing cuisine. Greetings from Los Angeles from a Guangzhou born Chinese American. Enjoy and welcome to my birth city. ❤❤❤
we start to use the shared bike less than 15 years. so for most of cities, they didn't have the seperated road for bike and scooter. most of scooters are used for delivery as takeaway is very convenient and popular in China. so these scooters have to use the road with people. every coin has two sides. if people stay at home and enjoy the takeaway, they should complain these scooter occupy the road with people.
“LuoHan” means Arhats, generally the main disciples of Buddha. In other Sino centric communities such as in HK or Taiwan, Buddhist veg restaurants are very prevalent.
It's impossible for any westerner government leaders to understands these "added ON elevator or Lifts " is part of the Chinese officials government work with their citizens needs . not to knock it down and rebuild with new price tag for builders profit .The ginger milk " Pudding " is a treat for any oversea visitor . the guide is doing a wonderful job and explanation .
all you ate are snack and street food. the guide even didn't let you try the famous cantonese food, i.g., roast goose, roast duck, roast chicken, oil chicken and fried pigeon. BTW the black chicken soup is good for women especially during the speical days per month. lol
like your videos.I recommend you can go to Shenzhen,a beautiful ciy, very close to Guangzhou.The people in Shenzhen come from many provinces,so there are many kinds of food from different areas of China. and it is a coastal city,you can go to Shenzhen Bay Park.
Cantonese people will eat some of what they need, or less of what they don't, according to their physical condition, for example, if you hot and humid, we will eat less fried food
There's a saying in chinese. 吃在广州. In Guang Zhou to eat. As a Cantonese we are finally planning a trip to Guang Zhou next year. Gonna start bookmarking!
I find it interesting that Sue was conversing in Mandarin with the locals but since Guangzhou is a Cantonese region, I would have expected her to speak Cantonese. Maybe she's from another part of China and others understand her Mandarin. Her English is very fluid, fluent and enunciates perfectly. Perhaps she has lived in the US for a while. I noticed that she says "elevator" vs. British English "lift".
China has a long history of more than 4,000 years, with different ethnic groups separated and merged, so different regions have developed unique food cultures. In terms of food diversity, China can be compared with the whole of Europe. For example, the difference between the food culture of Manchuria and Cantonese is greater than the difference between the UK and Russia. I was born and raised in North China and went to Canton for university. It took me several years to adapt to some of Cantonese food culture. I still can't accept some of it, such as Cantonese people like to eat raw seafood (鱼生). Of course, there are many delicacies that I have never seen. Rice noodle rolls are delicious, which kind of breakfast cannot be found in northern China. The deliciousness of Char Siu(BBQ Pork) is irresistible. If you haven't left Canton when you post the video, I would like to recommend you some restaurants that I often went to when I was in college.
China is truly such a diverse country and that's what make it even more interesting to visit it! We honestly felt like we've been introduced to a completely different country when changing the regions :)
@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="704">11:44</a> - mainland China banned "pink" light on meat products - you can see a lot of pink light on meats in Hong Kong's wet markets
good to show traditional way of making Cantonese wonton noodle. good wonton noodle is made of flour and duck eggs,no water added, noddles should be chewy and springy.
Shunde Foshan is my favorite city for delicious cantonese cuisine. Not too far from Guangzhou. Foshan is the ancestral home of Bruce Lee. There is a statue and museum dedicated to the Legend.
That's interesting because as I said (Karolina) I'm not the biggest seafood lover but that said was delicious! Jay wasn't the biggest fan of it but hey, at least he tried 😂
I totally agree. I was in Guangzhou last year and there were (non religious) vegan restaurants. But Sue is correct in that historically most vegans made the choice due to Buddhism.
Cantonese cuisine is not famous for sweet, but it is lighter flavour than other Chinese cuisines. Jiangsu and Zhejiang（Including ShangHai） cuisines are sweeter one.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="671">11:11</a> When repeating Chinese terms, try your best to listen to get the *inflection* correct. When you asked if they would understand you, maybe not because your pronunciation is way off. The way syllables are stressed or go up or down in sound and relative to each other really matter.
