What Should I EAT In CHINA?? 

*DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO 4AM IN THE MIDNIGHT* SUPER HUNGRY!!

YES, YES ,YES! The vegetarian food that is available here is AMAZING. I love being a vegetarian in China, so much to choose from and so many exciting new veggies to cook. When I go to Sweden, the food is what I miss the most about China.

Fantastic video. Love it.

Hi Poppy, thank you so much to share this nice video. It is very nice to watch your videos while missing my hometown. I am from Guangdong province, and I love the food and life style over there especially Guangzhou. This video really reminds me of a lot of childhood memory. I listed all the food that is in my head right now, and if there is any that you haven't try yet, I really recommend these. Dim sum（早茶）if you go to a Dim sum restaurant at 9am, try order a pot of Chrysanthemum Tea （菊花茶）and ask for some sugar (砂糖)， add 1 or 1/2 tsp of sugar into the tea and mix well, that is very nice. BBQ (roast duck or geese with sweet and sour plum sauce for dipping) （烧鸭，烧鹅） very long time boiled soap（煲汤) ->watercress pork bone soap is very good (西洋菜猪骨汤) very long time steamed soap (usually cooked over 6 hours) （炖汤） fresh congee with sliced fish, chicken, beef or seafood （生滚粥） delicious boiled chicken(or soy sauce chicken) （白切鸡） fresh steamed lake or ocean fish （清蒸鱼） silky steamed rice noodles with eggs and special soy sauce (鸡蛋肠粉) Cantonese style hotpot (completely different with Sichuan hotpot, and make sure you order chicken and crunchy fish （中山脆肉皖） for it! ) (打边炉) Chaozhou dishes (潮州菜) hand hit beef meat ball (supper delicious, good for hotpot) （手打牛肉丸） chaoshan beef hotpot (潮汕牛肉火锅) watercress (西洋菜) a kind of vegetable, good for hotpot, good for stir-fried with garlic stir-fried luffa with garlic (蒜蓉炒丝瓜) a kind of vegetable salty fish eggplant pot (咸鱼茄子煲) good with rice salt baked chicken or shrimp (盐焗鸡， 盐焗虾) which are the dishes that were cooked by hot salt Kejia dishes (客家菜) Bozai cake (钵仔糕) a kind of snack on the sweet steamed ground pork with vegetable（梅菜蒸肉饼) All the best!

I don't eat meat so the first thing I learned how to say in Chinese was "without meat" and "I am a vegetarian." It is amazing how many dishes come with bits and pieces of fried pork! I love all the vegetable dishes you choose and also eggplant. I don't know how the street food scene is in Shenzhen but I would love to go out to clubs in my former city and then stumble to the street barbecue guy and just choose the vegetables I wanted and he would fry it up in front of me. I also recommend trying a whole barbecued eggplant, its delicious!

Congratulations on your enjoyably journey to such a Beautiful Country, Wishing you safety, health , wealth & happiness( even during travelling etc) thank you!

This is yet another great video from Poppy! You bring smiles to many of us! :)

the milk tea“一点点” is also my favorite. “一点点”means one dot dot literally but it's deep meaning is "a little bit".

I am hungry in the middle of night, I blame you poppy! Last bits was hilarious, really cracked me up. Loved ur video all the way!

Omg! Looks so freakin good! Absolutely love ❤️ your vlog's, your so Creative.

Love how informative your videos are and you're always so upbeat!

Awesome video. Very first time I saw your food video so details. Love your work.

Going to China next month and your videos are some great inspiration for trips and they are just getting me more excited to go to China. Keep up the good work 👍

Excellent viewing, thank you Poppy!!!

You are really like a local now, all the food that you mentioned are my favourite, LOL

Love the video! Try Xiaolongbao, very tasty and affordable too.

Ohhhh thank you so much this is a great clip!! Love from Japan.

Love the videos I will be working in Chengdu nexts month for 30 days. I can’t wait to get there and try these foods. Keep up the great work Poppy.

OMG, you are killing me with this video!!!

The speaker girl in this footage is so charming, so attractive. As a Chinese Hongkonger, I have tasted a lot of Chinese cuisines but still a small part of Chinese cuisines.

Great video! Love your videos. Keep it up!

Always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

EVERYDAY IS BAOZI DAY!!!! No excuses

i have been to Shenzhen. my local friend brought me to a restaurant for "coconut chicken hotpot". it was good. they say it is the specialised food in ShenZhen. you might need to try it.

Loving the new hair look lately, very professional looking on some shows that have been very well made. Keep it up Poppy!

Hey Poppy - just discovered your channel. My husband and I lived in China for five years, and are considering going back (we currently live in Vietnam). Watching your videos is helping conjure up a lot of the old feelings. Keep up the good work, and keep enjoying your travels! x

You DID get me too hungry!! Good video.

Girl. Ive lived in china 5 years. Im actually moving today! And I think EGGPLANT is the vegetable the Chinese KNOW how to cook. Love your vids xx

Watching your vlog is realistic and relaxed, keep going on, support your tour, poppy!

Awesome vid, looks sooo good!

I enjoy eating pot pot in China too! Though I don't like spicy and don't eat much meat haha.So I was surprised about some foods you shared because I haven't seen half of them. Maybe it's because I'm living in the south, but I love to keep trying new foods. Rice noodles is a big deal in Nanning!

I am a native Chinese who lives in Shenzhen.Here are my three recommended restaurants:1 面点王(mian dian wang) 2 红荔村肠粉 (hong li cun changfen)3 嘉旺(jiawang) These three are very famous restaurant chains.And there is an app called meituanwaimai ,it has all the food you want to try.And you could find all the locations of restaurants with various food with meituanwaimai app.There are at least 10 food streets in Shenzhen.And the sea coast from Shenzhen Bay Park to SeaWorld is very beautiful.It is the best place for jogging.And 茶溪谷度假公园 （Cha Xi Gu vacation park） is the best park in Shenzhen.

this is by far, the best clip from your channel! All the drinks, foods, restaurants and of cause the noodles...I hear rumbling noice from my stomach. Gonna find some food to eat. :)

The end of the video is brilliant! :)

Chinese food is way more than that, try more, more and more

我爱吃花椒！I love HuāJiāo! Hua Jiao is that Sichuan “peppercorn” you mentioned Chinese Prickly Ash. I simply love it

Hey! I'm moving to China (Huangshan) in 10 weeks to teach. Thank you so much for your vlogs!!!! They're helping so much with preparing me for what to expect. I've been binge watching them for three days straight now!

It’s a pleasure to watch your video! Such a open mind lovely person you are! Do hope you enjoy the time in China!💐💐

STUNNING........ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

BEST EPISODE EVER!

Good video. Food Ranger, watch out. I’m sold, just subscribed. The dry pot you spoke about on 7:11, I’ve seen similar at a food court in BKK. Ok. Always wondered about how you eat them. Now I know.

Poppy you eat Chinese food like a PRO girl...good job and happy travels in China...I'm so proud of you and your friends !!!

The US cauliflower you mentioned is also available in China, and in fact that was what I knew about cauliflower when I was a child. In my memory, the cauliflower you had in China appeared in Chineses market about 10 or 15 years ago. Because it tastes much better than the 'old' one, it was quickly accepted by the Chinese people.

Your videos always make want to go explore the world. Hopefully one day I’ll be as luck as you. Btw love your vids

Hmmmm....I’m hungry now! Great vid, thanks for sharing ✌️

You have excellent taste! I like all your selections, amazing!

That was awesome, you're awesome! 😀

Poppy you are awesome!!

Hey poppy - love the tea from your favourite place as well! Try the oolong macchiato or black tea macchiato from the same place. Don’t do too sweet because the cream they use in it is sweet as it is. Make sure to shake the drink up as well! Super jealous that you can go as I left china a year ago and miss it so much! Also try the fried version of 土豆丝 (potato you were talking about! Amazing. Also try 兰州拉面 restaurants and if you’re in one you NEED to try 牛肉拉面. You can try this food in any of the small green halal restaurants. Look for the characters above!

your video is getting better and better!

I highly recommend you to a famous documentary called a bite of China 舌尖上的中国，it introduces all the famous and tasty food in China and the culture behind!

Do you know the Chinese New Year? the spring festival, have you got any plans about it?

i am so glad that you could enjoy my hometown foods

I'm a native Shenzhener but I didn't know about the corn pancake😂 I would try it as soon as I come back. I've been in Germany for 5 months and I'm so jealous of you that you can have so many fantastic dishes 😂

Q&A how long does it take for you to cut your videos? what camera are you using? and which vpn do you use? how long does it take to upload a video? been loving your videos sooo much!! you are awesome at filming cutting videons! your videos really correct some misconceptions foreigners have about china! been showing your videos to my friends here in sweden for them to understand how amazing my homeland is!!!!! people here in sweden have even less understanding on china compared to other western countries, since the two countries dont really have connections, my friends (here in highschool) even asked me if there are any chinese refugees!!!!!! whaaat!!! and they think that china is a country where people eat dogs and live miserably under the pressure of communism!!! i've been thinking of showing your videos to my class to change their image of china.

Hi Poppy, thanks a lot for sharing videos like this. I will be moving to China soon and will work in Nanshan. Would really appreciate if you can show more of the real estate market, food and drinks including with their prices. :)

I have been to the “好好味” noodles restaurant many times when I was in shenzhen, it is nearby the rainbow shopping mall, I will back to SZ Wednesday for chinese new year, I can'T wait, you make me miss SZ and chinese foods so much.

drooling......... i spent my chinese new year in your country. miss chinese food so so much.

Hi Poppy it's really lovely to watch your video sharing food~!!! I would recommend HeyTea in Zhuoyue InTown, which is close to Convention and exhibition center, just down my office. Next time you come close I'd love to invite you to come up for traditional Chinese tea功夫茶:P (when my boss is away haha)

love you,poppy ^o^

😂 One dot dot, such a cute translation. BTW, I'm a big fan of 一点点, it's really awesome!!!

Omg!! We have the same taste in food! One dot dot is also my favorite milk tea brand!! Also love the beans, the cauliflower, BBQ and hot pot!!

actually Chinese don't eat peppercorn haha we use it for seasoning only

Hahaha I can tell you've connected with the community so well cuz you know heytea&1...🤣🤣

Food sounds amazing love this blog!!

So hungry! Excellent video!

If you love hot pot that much, you should definitely go to CHENGDU & CHONGQING! Beautiful beautiful cities and the most authentic hot pot !!!!

OMG they are fast as workers bees

As a Chinese, I have to tell you that Tofu, made from soybean, is a very traditional and delicious food in China, and there are so many ways to cook it, you will definitely fall in love with some of them. Maybe you have tried it.

I miss all the items you mentioned! They are the best!

You know how hard for me to watch you tasting all those food but can't have any access to anything similar? I miss the day when I was still in China. QAQ Also suggestions: If you haven't tried wood ear before, you should try. Wood ear salad with peanut, seasoned with black vinegar, so good. Names 老醋木耳 or 老醋花生. Rice noodles with hen broth, 过桥米线 Roasted fish 烤鱼 Always served in big iron pot. Together you can order some vegetables. Crayfish 小龙虾 So many kinds of flavors but I suggest 十三香小龙虾. These are famous popular restaurant foods in these years. Also some suggestions but not very much popular and perhaps the taste are not very appreciable by foreigners. If you have the spare time perhaps you could give it a try. 鲫鱼豆腐汤 鱼头锅贴 凉拌猪头肉 夫妻肺片 艇仔粥(dip some 油条 in it!) 毛血旺

Great. Now I'm super hungry.

This video is a good one. Thanks.

This video is sooo good. I swear I can smell the food being cooked in the sizzling wok.

The pepper that make your mouth numb is called "花椒" (pronounced as: hua jiao), you can simply tell the cook that you do not want "hua jiao". lol, great content!

you should try cantonese morning tea: dim sum, I miss so much

Always support u~

You did a lot of work for this video...great job.

Great video Poppy! I would love to see a video where to try out foods of aquired tastes such as Durian, stinky tofu etc 😁

It’s organic cauliflower

Love your video Poppy! Hungry now!

your videos make me miss my hometown soooo much....even i just went back this past summer

Hot and sour potato is everyone’s favorite!

You are without a doubt the authority on living in China. Your experience is unrivalled

OMG poppy those 3 vegetable dishes are my favorite too! You can get all these food in U.S. restaurants too now.

Cauliflowers were just like those you posted as in the US ten years ago. Lately they introduced that new style called 'organic cauliflower', which you love :)

I'm hungry now 😕😕😰. Love your videos !

I miss the thin cut potatos!!! Its to die for.

8:15 Pepper corn is optional, some local also do that. If you don't want pepper corn(that is called "Hua Jiao" in Chinese), you can say "Bu Yao Ma"(no numbing favor) or "Bu Yao Ha Jiao"(no pepper corn) or just "No Hua Jiao" before payment.

Love the way you talk about Chinese food!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Support!

I never eat the peppercorn in any dishes on purpose. But most of the time, they just pop into your mouth inevitably, and all of a sudden my entire mouth goes numb. Terrible!

Thought it was " hot and sour potatoes"? Used to work in a Chinese restaurant in US, and a lot of people kept ordering " sweet and sour soup" instead of hot and sour soup. LOL

Having watched several of your vlogs, I really appreciate your spirit in trying anything peculiar to China. Because I know there are some many foreigners who refuses trying Chinese food except chaomian or chaofan. As to hotpot, I think you may also try the ChaoShan Beef hotpot, which is quite weak in its flavor, and you can try different textures from different part of a cattle. Maocai can be deemed as a twin sister to Malaxiangguo, you may also try that

I am from Hangzhou, currently in the UK, and your video makes me want to go home like NOW. Spicy and vinegar potato, cauliflower on fire, one dot dot milk tea...those are all my favourites and a must on local's daily menu as well!!! Honestly one dot dot Is good enough and things like Royal tea are just a very good example of successful promoting, mainly people went to royal tea just to take pics and post on Wechat

After I watch this，I feel starving now! 😄

try fish! Steam fresh fish, fish with sauer soup, fish stew, spicy fish, garlic scallops, etc...don't miss real fresh fish and other seafood while you are close to the coast! There are lot of seafood restaurants where you can choose fish by yourself. Street food is interesting but there are lot of skillful chefs hidden in restaurants.

Just subscribed to your channel and I love your VLOGs. Keep up the great work and hope you’ll visit my hometown - Hong Kong someday. You’ll like the food.

Watching you eat is so happy
