My parents tried Chongqing Hotpot for the FIRST TIME! 

This was such a fun video to film!!! Ps. For anyone learning Chinese out there, I was pronouncing Mao Du wrong this entire video 😂😂 it should be máodǔ not màodǔ. My chinese needs some work, as you can see!! Thanks for watching everyone ❤️

As a Chinese, I appreciate that you have an open-minded family who respects our culture, just like we should when we visit yours.

When you have a family like this, you possess happiness.

You have a very understanding parents, they are very willing to take part in your enjoyable experience. You are very blessed

Your parents are hilarious! Now we know where your humour and infectious joy come from.

It's funny, in the beginning your Daddys body language seemed much more open compared to your mom but it ended up being your mom who was much more open to everything. I always wished to have a family like this growing up - I'm so happy I came across you. Much love from Canada!

You are so lucky having such adorable sweet obliging parents that embrace your passion! Your dad's facial expressions of sheer terror make the entire video 😂😂

You and your parents are adorable. They are close to my age and I think I would enjoy hanging out with them. It's so lovely to see a young person having so much fun with her parents.

Blondie一直都在帮着宣传中国文化，一直关注，同时感谢你的坚持。看到你在家乡和父母的一些视频，才知道，有其父母才有这样的女儿啊，好温馨的家庭。爱你们。 牛肚片只要10秒左右，时间一长就老了，就没那么好吃了。 外国人排斥内脏，能过心理这关，才会打开火锅美食大门。

You Mom is so brave and your Dad is so cute.

a family who openly discuss about having to poop after eating spicy foods, truly loves one another.

I looked at the title and thought to myself... “Amy’s dad is gonna say something hilarious again”

I have to say I really admire your family atmosphere, your parents are very open minded. I believe "good family atmosphere raise good personality" good job, love this channel!

Aw I spent three months in Chongqing last year, this is making me miss it so much 😭 Totally agree it's China's most underrated city!

I 'm a ChongQinger.You really have open-minded parents.And thank you so much for sharing my hometown with others!!China,Chongqing always welcomes you all back!

wow, this channel seriously understands China, and my hometown, Chongqing. Amazing!

Happy to report...no hot potty the next day!! 😜

Your parents are so lovely. I wish I could do something like this with my parents, too.

"It's hot...and it's in a pot." Amy's dad is definitely a Nobel laureate, I can tell. 👨‍🔬👨‍🎓

Hi Amy, most impressed with the humorous heroism of yr mum and dad. My mum's from Sidney, and raised me in tasting all sorts of foreign food, so I hope this has remained a cosmopolitan Aussie tradition, and we're all so lucky you shared this great moment of adventure, for cultural curiosity and love of new experiences' sake! Can't have too much of this, nowadays! As for western cultures, some ought to know that tripes, and ox tongue, etc... have been used for centuries in Scotland or France, and Italy too, and considered top notch delicacies, except we don't drown them in chillie broth, witch is a hazard for some people's health... Some of that tradition could stem from those bits going off a little fast, in semi-tropical climate, as a preventive antiseptic... Thanks for a delightful share in your adventure, and stay well and sound for more fun in traveling!

i love how open-minded your parents are! this was so cute :')

I love your videos and your parents are so open-minded, appreciate your efforts being an ambassador of Chinese culture!

Dude your parents are so kind. They can not support you more! What a great family!

Thank you for being so open minded to others food. It's no easy this day. Love your family. And your positive attitude is always inspiring

Mum and Dad are just cute!!!! "u know what goes in the intestines?" LMAO

Forgot how I stumbled upon your videos but subscribed instantly after watching the 1st one where you introduced Liziqi's channel to your parents! I respect people like you SO much who take the time to learn about another ethnic culture and embrace it the way you have. Your parents are ALSO super cool by the way. More people like you and your family would definitely make this world a better place. Will be tuning into all of your future videos!

Kudos to your parents for trying different things! But you know food is the universal ambassador to different cultures.

This video is awesome, it's great English learning materials, I can see different accents, the daily scenes of life, the subtitles. Thanks for sharing.

It's so funny to see other people having the exact same reaction as I had when i had my first Chongqing hotpot!!! I remember being weirded out by the cow stomach and duck intestines too but ended up liking both of them very much :)

Honestly the banter and laughter are natural and infectious. Love these videos!

Amy: "I'm gonna get you guys to eat some kinds of interesting things that you wouldn't usually eat in your day to day life. So how do you feel about that?" *video pans to shot of your concerned dad's face* I love your dad's reactions! Your mom's sense of humor is so great, hot pot to hot potty, oh boy. Your parents are so funny, supportive, open-minded, and cool! What a wholesome relationship you have with them 💛 我特别享受吃火锅，可是我也从来没吃过重庆火锅！好勇敢啊👌

I've been Australia Dec 2000, had lots of fun. Love your mom and dad, they're open-mind, sooooo funny and lovely~

ayyy mama got great sense of humor too!! hot pot --> hot potty !! 😂

Your parents' reactions are so hilarious, and it actually brings back the memory of me taking my ex-bf to the hotpot in the past for the first time, your parents' face was exactly same with his like idk why are you eating this and that hahaha. And btw I'm from Chongqing and he is Canadian, we went to a hotpot restaurant in Toronto. And I love those cross-culture moments and your awesome vlog!!

一家人都有很开放的心态，能看出来爸爸妈妈都是很开明随和的人，的确很棒

Mum is so adventurous with her taste buds, but I died laughing at your dad's 🤣🤣expressions. New to the channel, love the content so subscribed it!!

Beef tongue is quite common in the UK where I live. Almost every Supermarket’s deli section have beef tongue sold as a ham. You can also buy whole tongues and slice them for barbecue

i just can not stop laughing at your dad, he is so funny and braving trying new foods.

mama's even more hilarious. now. I get where Amy's amazing character comes from. it is impossible not to be this lovely for Amy coming under same roof with this couple

Mom is such a sport, courageous! Dad is hillareous. Love them!

AMY dad has that kind of mixed with wisdom and humor. cute and gentle. i like him.

Chongqing is where my family is!!! Hot pot is one of my favorite Chinese food in China. Do more videos like this!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Hotpot is also a great tool to gather the family, cuz you can’t use phones during those few seconds of cooking 😂

Your Mum and Dad are the dream parents to have! I am big fan of them!

What I love most about this video is your Dad's reaction when he trying something new.

Just came across your channel and loving it because you are showing all the amazing places to eat around Sydney. I love how your parents are as adventurous to try new food and having a great time with you.

I still think your dad is a genius coming up with the “mala tongue”.

As a Chinese who lived in Australia. I found ur video is really stylish. Also many thanks for helping more people get to know China better.

Father: Mala Tongue !!!, Mother: Hot potty LOL your parents are something else

From Australia, love your beautiful food content in Chongqing, keep up the awesome work blondie!

毛肚 tastes like rubber bands because it was overcooked 😂

hotpot is the single best thing in the world! glad your parents loved it! You're mom is amazingly open to new cultures which is very sweet of her and your dad is amazing as well!

As a big fan of hot pot, “ the rubbery taste" made my day !!!! Cute dad and mom!!

Amy I love the way you explain to your parents ❤️❤️

the longer you cook the tripe/intestine/tongue the chewy they become so that's why they taste like rubber. If you cook just at the right time, they are in between a little chewy and crispy, which is the best state.

I recall having watched your vlogs a couple of years ago when there seemed to be much less RU-vidrs specializing on China related topics. Glad to find you have been continuing to make and the last few videos i just checked just seem amazingly well made! I can see that you obviously know much more and much more deeply about so many things in China. It is really fun and satisfying to see the reactions of your parents to the new things about China you introduced to them.

Thanks for experiencing our culture!!! Hope you guys end up enjoying that as much as we do.

It´s really amazing how except for the spiciness of the food China and my country Paraguay have similar plates we usually eat cow tongues with vinaigrette and with the cow stomach we make soups, we also eat them fried. So interesting video. Thanks!

Dad: You know what goes in the intestines? Amy: Yes, foods! Really smart lmao😂

OMG I really like your dad! Please always have him every time you go on a Chinese food adventure.

Amy’s dad: “not on purpose”. That’s a good indication of funny moments coming up later in the video. 😄

your dad & mum really has the potential to become a real Foodie! luv them so much!

This channel has morphed into finding new ways to torcher Amy’s poor dad 😂

your family dynamics haha what a good show it's become! love your parents, especially your pops reaction to everything lol

Your parents are hilarious. I love how they are so adventurous and are still kinda like "whhatt the ffuuuuu...."

Your parents are very brave and supportive of your interest. I am a Singaporean Chinese and have not eaten all such offals. You guys are great! Bravo.

in fact, the 毛肚 will be too hard if the cooking time is too long. so timing is important. Similarly, the mutton or beef thin slicing, cooking just 20 secs max, the taste will be great and tender. if too long, it is hard and taste drops a lot.

I can feel your happiness when you enjoyed delicious meals with your parents and perhaps it's the best one of feelings to spend time to do something fun with family.

I feel you are an adorable girl, trying to get your parents to try all the weird foods from China. Your parents are cute as well.

Your dad is very sweet. Can just know by seeing him . God bless your family.

Blondie dad never tried any of these food before but he knows what rubber bands taste like … 😂😂😂😂

I really liked the way i was getting "information" in the vlod/video not only a food tour. I basically know many things about chongqing than i could have read in wiki or somewhere else. Great content. Thx

Hotpot really suits family or friends having fun together. We love hotpot not only because of the flavor but also the happiness we share with each other. 😉I pretty enjoy the atmosphere in your video. By the way, you speak Chinese very well.👍

我是重庆人，谢谢您喜欢重庆食物！l m ChongQin local,thank you for liking hotpot,some foreign friends hardly bear it for too spicy,but we enjoyed it for the humid and cold winter😂❤

Always Watching Amy’s videos at midnight after working. Feel chilling, relaxing and most importantly hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! God I miss China so bad.

Your mum and dad are so adorable! Good on them to try the food.

Haha, dad looked terrified when he heard duck intestine....that was hilarious 😂

Dad's facial impressions are golden! Typical first-time experience!

Thanks you, i laugh, needed that. Father is funny, mother is brave try everything. i learn a lots, cheer eh? came to your post from Gweilo 60, but i subcribed right away. keep up the great work. in Canada hot pot resturante are still closed :( But i am happy to see that you are able to enjoying it in Aug 2020

I think the best part of these videos are the Chinese + English subtitles, and of course, the best lovely parents's jokes. I love the way they talk and jokes :)

A big round of applause for your parents, especially your mum for trying the Chongqing hotpot. Most foreigners would decline this and that but your parents were extremely sporting and tried everything that you recommended. Thanks for posting and here's wishing you and your parents a wonderful and safe time in China.

Beautiful family. The beatidul thing is enjoy food and willing to trying something new...also subtlety provide some back ground of food...excellent!!!

你爸爸明显不太喜欢毛肚啊，其实七上八下就可以了，他烫得太老就变成橡皮了。很高兴你喜欢中国文化！

Love your dad’s reactions, hilarious 😂

Hey, I've watched all the videos about it and this is a must try this when you come to China, great job and have a great day!

It s my hometown! You explained very well about the historical background of hot pot. Not many people know about it.

Mum jokes beat dad jokes hands down! :)

I’m really enjoying your videos. Your mom and dad are so cute. Love that they’re trying new foods.

Lol love the hot pot to hot potty joke Btw, should use a “hot pot spoon” especially for parents, looks so difficult with just chopsticks, easy to lose the meat in the sea of pot

Subscribed! Just so amazed by your personality and how loving you and your family are! Very rarely we see how openly embracing western is to asian culture. Very cool!

I'm proud of you, great family....

such a lovely family, very open minded, funny and great attitude.

“I don’t want pizzle soup.” Hahaha🤣

陪伴父母在一起真好。祝福你一家人健康开心。

wow I am willing to see your new video. really make my day.

太棒了，看你的视频不光可以看到美食、景色，还可以看着字幕一起学英语！真是太棒了！！！

我想说……………我要订回国的机票！！！！！好饿！！！！！！！……！！！！

Your parents are so open-minded! Love them!

you know what goes in the intestines? YES food lmao

You guys are Sooo cute!! Loved the videos showing happy family interaction and enjoying different culture and food together! Adventurous and entertaining to watch you guys :)
