Why is Guilin food is so similar to Cantonese food?! 

Blondie is like a neighbor girl with sunshine smile, she travels a lot, knows many people from different areas, eats much different food. Good luck and wish you all the best 💯

Watch at your own risk guys 😂 once you discover blondie you'll start binge watching it all and can't get enough of her 😂❤ such a vibe ❤ amy you're awesome 😎

Was this day planned by Jason as well? How can you again find all the classic authentic places?! As who grew up here, I can prove that Amy's Guilin vlog is THE best one among all Guilin travel vlogs. The restaurants in your videos are basically what I would have on my todo list when I go back home.

It's inconceivable how many cities in China you have been to，Blondie. As a Chinese myself， I haven't been to those cities yet. Hope an incredible travel as yours for me in future.

Amy , the foodie explorer and adventurer , shines with her passion and fearlessness but is always kind and respectful . Amy's channel truly showcases China's rich diversity of culture , cuisine, and nature.

糖水 in Cantonese means dessert 😂😂 you have actually had 糖水 before in Guang Zhou, the mung bean soup and coconut milk things, they pretty much call it all 糖水

Just found your channel this week and I've been slowly watching all your videos! You exude such a fun and bright energy and it makes me so happy watching you try new foods. I'm ethnically Chinese but born in Canada and I watching you feels like I'm travelling with a best friend, discovering my roots and even the things I didn't know about my culture.

Pickled mango is a huge childhood snack of locals here in Hawaii. Pickled mangos, pickled plums... it's soooo yummy!

The sweet potato and ginger sweet water is popular in Guangdong too

Im new to this channel, greetings from Sweden having worked as a chef but now just a foodie. I just love your content, and your aproach to life in china! The urge is getting stronger and stronger to visit, i just have to start learning chinese. #goals

Yum 😋 , cool to see China up close. Thanks

Thanks!

I can confirm you would find changfen/juanfen in Vietnam under the name "banh cuon", but it's slightly different here. The portions are much smaller, and people usually eat it with chopped pork/mushroom, fried shallots, local sausage and fish sauce. Another version can be found in the far north provinces (those that border China) where it it serve with an egg and bone broth. Both are equally delicious 😄

Your contents changed so much over the years, it is now basically full blown food vlog. I do miss some of the deeper dive into different parts of China every now and then. Also, Guangdong and Guangxi used to be one province back then, that is why they have a lot of cultural overlapse.

It’s so nice to watch a video and recognise the places! Thanks for sharing! ❤

Some foreigners so smart to learn Chinese like you, amazing.

My impression of people from Guangxi is literally Guangdong people who have a higher spice tolerance🙃

guilin is one of the few cities I had the pleasure of travelling to. it's so beautiful and serene there and your video captures it all.

Thank you for teaching us all about the different provinces and their flavor differences. You are much more daring than I. Sadly I don't like anything sweet on my meat. nor do I care for Onions & garlic. But I love watching you happily try it all. Congrats on your travels. I'm going to try the Corn & Sweet Potato, both are personal favorites.

I´m such a picky eater and I love that you always try everything with an open mind. I could never do that

非常感谢Amy带给我们阳光和美味的一天！

Great to see another video Amy... thanks for all your content!!!

Hi Amy!🙋🏻‍♀️ I find it so fascinating to see so many varieties of food in China. It definitely makes me want to visit someday. As always, I love watching your vlogs and seeing you trying out all the dishes is phenomenal! Wish they sell those juicy bbq goose in Toronto.😅😆😋 Look forward to your next vlog soon. Take care!😁👋🏻👋🏻

广西 is one of the most mysterious, fascinating regions of China , next to Xinjiang, Tibet... I am jealous of you having travelled of all the places that I wished to visit for many years.

I'm always so excited when your videos arrive. You have single-handedly convinced me to come to China when I can. I was never sure where to go first and now I know it's Guilin; the food looks like such a great mix or other regions and the scenery looks amazing. I went to Sapa in Vietnam years ago and also Halong Bay and the scenery looks so familiar from there because it's so close! Yay, for you xxx

姑娘牙口真好 glad you enjoyed the food❤

I am a Guilin local, welcome to my hometown! Love to see you had such a good time here.

Looks so super delicious

親愛的桂林 🤭腸粉😋 油條炸得好靚。👍 糖水店放糖水處很企理，牆身很潔亮。👍 足料 真材實料。 好想去桂林。😍

Goose is fattier than duck but both are so delicious when roasted especially the drumsticks!

In Malaysia, my mom used to cook sweet potato tongsui with ginger for us just like the one you had when we were young. 👍🏻

the quality of these videos are astonishing .

Amy, I recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching all of your videos in the last week or so! Love all your content!!

Hey Amy! I am from Yangshuo and have been your subscriber for a while! Excited for you to explore and try the food from my hometown! Definitely need to hit up the noodles, beer fish, and stuffed EVERYTHING (豆腐酿stuffed tofu, 螺蛳釀water snail, 柚子皮釀 etc)!

Randomly stumbled across this video but I love your passion and attention to detail and articulation of Chinese food!

Must admit, those pickles do appeal to me very much. Don't know why, but I never used to like pickles until my retirement.

The enthusiasm and love you put into your videos really shows!

Your videos are pure fun. 😃

Your videos are a weekly warm hug materialized into a virtual trip with the friend one would love to have! I went to Guilin and Yangshuo with my family back in 2017, and it makes me emotional revisiting the places, and discovering new foods now with these videos! Always such a fun journey, 加油！

love the mountains! miss miss the mountains in China!

This makes me miss all the yummy Guangdong food I love in Hong Kong 😋 Thank you Amy!

THAT JUANFEN LOOKED GOOD!

I’d love to see a series of food tasting from the US south! Nashville hot chicken, Louisiana Cajun and creole, real southern Bar-B-Que, sweet and spicy! And bring your parents along, I love their reactions!

Sweet potato sugary soup is popular in Malaysia & Singapore too among the Chinese diaspora.

I love Guilin ! I am adding these new spots to try out! Thanks Amy :)

Sweet potato and ginger drink! Pickled cantaloupe, wow! They are not only vegan but also super healthy.

I been there.. amazing scenery. Amazing rice noodle dishes.

Thank you for another fabulous video! you makes me very hungry. Cheers from the frozen North

so many dishes in one video, watching you eat made me feel hungry😋

Hi Amy, I've been watching your videos and I just want to say thanks for making these awesome food vlogs!! They're so well done! I love how you seem super sweet and open-minded and knowledgeable about the different cuisines. Everything just looks so good and I want to go back to China someday to try everything that you're vlogging T.T

Sweet potato tong sui! Ginger, brown sugar, some dried longan possibly... man, that's part of me childhood right there.

That yummy Yuanfen looks like a giant silkworm. I hope you enjoyed a boat ride/bamboo rafting or two on the river to soak in the heavenly sceneries! :D

Love your videos Amy!! Inspire me to try and learn about new cuisines!

Roast duck from HK, Taiwan or any other provinces are always my meal

Absolutely delightful video entertainment and education. Your approach and delivery is so appealing. Just makes me want to seek out better Chinese food options in Florida.

Oh my Chun Ji Shao Er!!!! All of memories. I need go back home now! Drilling while watching your videos

What a lovely introduction to Guilin/Guangxi cuisine!! I love how the local people interact with you (Amy, you are always very friendly and kind to other people so there's no real surprise there) but I just love how they are super "casual" and natural when they speak to you as well--which shows how comfortable they are with you!!! There is no awkward moment or silence of trying to explain things in a different way--they just blurt out whatever they have in mind which, to me at least, shows they don't think of you as an "outsider" (for lack of a better word; well, I'd be an outsider if I travel there as well). anyways, Love your enthusiasm! P.S. Sweet potato + ginger+ rock sugar (or any type of sugar actually) is my fav household "sugar water" especially during winter. It tastes great just hot from the stove but when you chill the leftover in the fridge and eat it cold the next day, it'd be another pleasant surprise.

Here in the American south we’ll sometimes pickle watermelon rind, so the idea of all these pickled fruits sounds right up my alley! Especially paired with something spicy and/or salty! If you’ve never had a fruit cup with lime juice, tajin, and chamoy you’ve got to try it!

Main thing I remember of Guilin is trying chili-heavy dog hotpot... Also friendly people and great scenery

Yum! I want some of that picked cantaloupe!

I'd say with 3 different roast goose videos under your belt that you're definitely an expert now

the sweet potato dessert you should try to source out another variant its pretty much sweet potato, taro and sago in coconut sweet soup. Its a well known dessert in Malaysia

On the way to 300k. You will be there before the year ends. And btw, that juanfen looks so good. The suan flavor is definitely making this the Most mouth watering episode.

I love China and due to Covid unable to travel. Your vlogs keep me posted and give me a chance to go around China. Thank you.

Very surprised to see both Guilin and Chinese cuisines are very close, which is interesting. Also, a well-planned itinerary to try the roasted goose.

Never enjoyed watching someone eat more than this. Bon appetit!👏👏👍

those "churros" are so good with congee

Yayy new video!! So exciteddd

THE RIVERS ARE REALLY PRETTY!

I haven't back to guilin for many years as a local people there, thanks for your video to recommend the special food there, so miss it.😁😁😁👍👍👍

I'm from Guangxi, this video reminds me when I was a kid, I used to drink a cup of sugar 🌽 water after soccer practice

Amazing pickles, so jealous! 😋

Who knew changfen had a cousin? They gotta bring juanfen to Straya!! What a find 😁

Always looking forward to all your delicious videos 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Damn! Miss that over ten yrs!!!!

Hmmm scrumptious! I love Chinese food I am mean who doesn't love Chinese cuisine!!

With so much sauce/gravy given, you should have gotten two or three to soak up the sauce 😋😋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love all your videos, especially this one! Great to see all this amazing culinary experiences in these small little local restaurants.

My mom used to make sweet potato 糖水 all the time in the summer to 解虚 even though San Francisco doesn't get all that hot. But it's so good. It seems like my mom's cantonese version is a smidge thicker consistency though

goose looked so yummy, specially with sweet and sour sauce. Outstanding from start to finish

0:05 That's more like a Labrador doggie drinking water. 😆

广东 and 广西 shared some similar in some way。

I been there.. amazing scenery.

In Singapore. we call that chee cheong fun 猪肠粉 (cantonese) pig intestine noodles, as they resemble those inards. 3rmb what a steal as compare to S$3 (15rmb) plain , without fillings and only eaten with soya sauce , chilie sauce and oil.

Wooow, thanks for your share, as a girl who is from Guangxi but now live in GuangDo, I really agree with this video❤. I so miss with 卷粉and 酸嘢, There is a word said “美人难过酸嘢摊” in Guangxi, enjoy❤

If you are still planning to spending a few more days in Guangxi, I would suggest you to go to Wuzhou (梧州），my hometown, where provides different styles of amazing Chinese food.

You should also try the pork belly with taro (芋头扣肉) - so amazing...

在三多路（桂林市口腔医院对面）有家3.5元的美式，5元的拿铁，6.5元的生耶拿铁的咖啡馆。不要看价格低，和20-30的口感差不多，没有离开桂林可以去试试。

Another top Quality Video , Wonderful Amy!

amazing in-depth intro of Guilin food culture!

Beijing has a better pickle shop. It has pickles from all over china. It also has some really strange pickles that you would never think are pickles. This shop has been around for 400 years give or take. Anthony bourdain went there as part of his introduction into Chinese cuisine, although he went to lee chun roast duck the same day in the hutongs. Although he had some issue with mustard getting into his nose.

Yeahhhhhh, new video from Amy, my lucky day❤❤❤

Your videos make me so hungry in the middle of the night, 😆 🤣.

Recently spoke with my family and we mentioned the sweet potato and ginger soup so I am familiar with it.

Good job on this video!! I enjoyed your food adventure :))

红薯糖水，我家里媽媽的味道是红薯稍微压碎与糖水混合成稀粥状，姜丝切很细很细，味道更香浓❤

That roast goose just looked delicious! BTW, 桂林米粉，especially汤米粉，seems to be a specialty,too...A lot of restaurants featuring this have opened up in Los Angeles.

这妮儿吃饭真香，听你讲话很舒服，虽然听不懂

That rolled up noodle is a terrific looking food and I would like to see food like that rather than kebab and burger shops.

Love your videos! Am a Cantonese and 2nd generation Malaysian. Your video made me realise that my culinary heritage comes from a lot of the places you visited in Guangdong and GuangXi. There are so many similarities between what we eat in Malaysia and those food you introduce in both these provinces.
