- Morning guys. John here!
- and Malie!
- Welcome back to the channel
- This morning we've packed up our bags
- and we're going to leave Macau
- It has been an awesome couple of days
- We had heaps of food
- and we got to see a lot of cool stuff
- especially all the hotels around Macau
- It's so extravagant
- I think if you're in Macau, leave a couple of days just to explore the hotels
- Anyway guys, we've got to head off to the airport now because we're heading into
- Shanghai!
- If you haven't already make sure you've subscribed to see our Shanghai adventures
- And if you like this video make sure to give it a big thumbs up for us
- Let us know in the comments if you have any recommendations for us in Shanghai.
- Alright guys, we'll see you soon!
- Hey guys we've arrived in Shanghai
- Right now we're at Hongqiao International Airport. I hope I'm saying that correctly
- First impressions: It's a very nice airport!
- very clean!
- So now we're going to find the subway into the city
- Let's go!
- We've just arrived in Shanghai!
- So, it's our first time here. We flew in from Macau
- Straight to Shanghai
- It was a pretty straightforward process getting through immigration
- It didn't take too long at all
- Depending on your passport if you're here for less than five days or 144 hours (*oops 144hrs = 6 days)
- You don't need a Visa
- and you can apply for a Visa exemption
- at Shanghai Airport
- The only condition is
- You have to be transiting
- So the country you are arriving from has to be different to the country you're leaving to
- So for us, we've arrived here from Macau
- but we'll be heading to Hong Kong straight after Shanghai
- So that's why we get the Visa exemption
- We've caught the subway to our accomodation
- It was pretty simple
- Similar to the transport or MTR in Hong Kong actually
- It is actually similar - the trains look similar!
- The only point of difference I'd say is
- We noticed if you're entering the subway
- You actually have to place your luggage through a screening process
- Similar to immigration
- So we've just checked into our hotel
- We're staying at place called the Guxiang Hotel
- Alright guys, we're going to settle into our room and
- then go out and find some Shanghai Street Food
- But first, ROOM TOUR!
- So we start off here at the bathroom
- Looks pretty fancy
- Usual toiletries here
- Nice big mirror
- And behind me
- The toilet and bathtub and shower
- There's the closet
- They've given us some robes
- And here is our room
- And he is dead
- Helloooooo
- I'm really loving this view
- We have a view of the shops
- and we can see all the people downstairs
- so we might go check down there later
- Our first food stop in Shanghai is at Yang's Dumpling
- They're well known for their Shengjianbao
- Right in front of me is a plate of different flavoured shengjianbao
- Shengjianbao are pan-fried dumplings/bao
- The ones we've got here are
- Pork filled which are their original ones
- We've also got a shrimp filled dumpling
- and a crab powder dumpling
- Look how crispy and golden brown they look
- I'm going to try the original one: the pork filled shengjianbao
- ooo! The juice just came out
- I think you need to bite a little hole
- Look how much juice there is in that one shengjianbao
- I'm going to try the soup
- Really nice
- Slightly sweet
- Good tip for next time is to bite a little hole
- and just sip on the soup
- or pour the soup out because it can get really hot
- and you don't want to burn yourself when you're eating these
- I'm going to try the shrimp shengjianbao
- This is going to be my first bite in Shanghai
- The shrimp one doesn't have much juice in it
- So I didn't burn my tongue
- I love that crispy outside
- The shrimp is nice and plump
- That was really yummy
- We also got a bowl of noodles. These are mung bean noodles with some
- crispy fried tofu, and some curried beef
- Let's try the broth first
- That's a really nice broth. I like it. A lot of flavor
- Let's try the noodles
- It reminds me of vermicelli noodles, they sometimes get at Vietnamese restaurants
- Let's try that beef. Looks like brisket
- Hmm brisket pretty good
- If you guys visit Shanghai, check out Yang's Dumpling
- their shengjianbao are really cheap and great for takeaway
- You'll probably be able to find multiple branches across Shanghai.
- Awesome first meal!
- We're walking down Nanjing Road in Shanghai
- It's really packed
- Lots of lights, lots of food stalls
- Seems like this is the place to be
- So pretty. All the lights!
We're at a place called Jia Jia Tang Bao (佳家汤包)
- They are famous for their Xiao Long Bao
- or their soup dumplings
- It's about 7.30pm and the line is huge
- It's a really packed restaurant and they're already getting sold out of XLBs
- We came initially to try their original pork dumplings
- but that's already sold out
- So we've opted to try their crab & pork dumplings
- and also their pure crab meat dumplings
- You can see the ladies in the kitchen making each XLB
- So the xiao long bao have arrived
- Here are the pork and crab xiao long bao
- and these are the pure crab meat ones
- Let's try one of the pork and crab ones
- I'm gonna dip this into the soy sauce
- Hmmm so much soup just bursted in my mouth
- and the filling is really nice
- Really porky
- I can't taste too much of the crab though
- but still really good
- Let's try one with some ginger
- It's even better with the ginger
- And these here are the crab meat xiao long bao
- They're a lot bigger. As you can see there are only 6 in the steamer
- Let's try it
- Wow, that's all crab!
- That's 100% crab meat in there
- That's all I taste, Crab Meat!
- Tastes really good!
- It's so big it doesn't even fit on the spoon
- That was just crab
- That was such a delicious bite
- We're lucky that we ordered another set of dumplings
- alright, we're going to enjoy these and see you at the next stop
- We're ending the night at KFC
- Because we've noticed they have some interesting desserts
- They have soft serve at KFC but this one
- Looks like its black sesame
- We're not sure because we couldn't read the menu but it does look like it
- I don't think it's black sesame
- It just really tastes like vanilla
- They've just made it a charcoal-y colour
- They also have Portuguses egg tarts
- I think they had these in Macau but we didn't try them but we'll try them now
- After Macau you'd think we've had enough egg tarts
- They're just so good
- They smell ok and are still quite warm
- Let's try it
- Wow. That was really flaky
- Not too eggy, the egg custard is a little bit sweet
- For fast food egg tarts, you can't get any better than this
- It's pretty good
- So I thought we were done with dessert but we stumbled across another KFC
- and they actually serve softserve and waffles
- and also Red Bean Pie
- I'm going to try the softserve first before it melts
- Pretty standard for a softserve but it's really creamy and milky
- It's good! I'm just going to bite the waffle
- It's just easier
- The waffle is not really crunchy
- I don't think they've heated it up
- So it's quite cold and soggy
- I think it wouldv'e been nicer if it were hot
- This is the Red Bean Pie
- It's fresh from the fryer. Let's look inside!
- That's a good dessert!
- I think that's it for tonight
