Good morning guys!
It's Monday. Last night we had a ride from Leshan (the Buddha from last video)
It took us about two hours
we got super tired
And we were actually planning to be on the road today to another city, the next city
however, I feel like I just love the city so much and
the food and all the adventures and how much I love the vibe in this city and
decided to stay one more day and I was pretty inspired by watching
Food ranger Youtube videos on the food tour and I feel that I don't want to miss out
I don't want to miss out on the good food in Chengdu
so today I'm gunna do my own private tour to see the best Chengdu Sichuan cuisine
So how do you feel about that?
I'm excited and pumped!
Okay, so are you gonna be my
Camera guy? I'll be your camera crew. oh awesome!
Okay, so we are heading towards our first stop which is only about 1.5 kilometers away
Hey guys
So we are right at our first pit stop.
and take a look around
at each individual vendors'
We see Bao zi (famous Chinese Steam buns stuffed with meat or vegetables)
We see
Rice noodle. There's a barbecued duck vendor
Beijing style and there's our
destination
Wang Ji Te Se (王记特色）
This is the place where they have one of the best pancakes. It's basically
Like a dough and it's stuffed with like meat in there and then they make it
Go see what I'm talking about.
Hello, everyone! (in Chinese)
You are with a foreign friend.
Where is she from? (in chinese)
Canada. (in Chinese)
People say your pan fried pancakes are so delicious. (in Chinese)
This is the boss of this restaurant.
This is how you make them
Hello! (in Chinese) Ni Hao!
smell so good (in Chinese) Heng Xiang De
Yes, smells amazing! (in Chinese) Xiang Peng Peng De
It's like pancakes stuffed with
Beef or pork or any kind of vegetables that you can pick. It's really good. I mean it's amazing
How good it is especially what do you think? The crust is really good, right! so crispy! so good!
Outer cust it's really really like crispy. It's so good
and I don't know how healthy it is, but it's again if it tastes just amazing. The beef was marinated with a special kind of sauce
together with
some local spice
Look what we got.
Beef one
This is the plain one.
look at the smile on my face
I'm so happy
To connect with the people
Connect with other locals. Mingling with locals has always been my favorite thing to do in life
getting to know
everyone's story and just joking with them and sharing experience with them
It's always been my priority
so let's see!
oh my God! Guys, look!
Mmmmm..
so good
So crispy, Have you tried this before?
No!
Like somewwhere else?
Let's try this one, try one bite
oh my god so good
She is so picky about food. Even she likes it.
The plain one is not really deep fried.
Mmmmmm...
We're not done yet. So today we are going on this full
food adventures. so
make sure that uh
Make sure that you keep watching this video and I will show you more what Chengdu food is all about
To go to this market we have to take the bus
Hey, we didn't even pay. What happened?The bus driver were so nice. I said I don't have any change. I only have 10 Yuan and we have 2 people. He said don't worry about it
Just just walk in don't worry about
That's crazy
Chengdu people are so nice!
But guys this is what expect from like a very local authentic market
Everyone just finds all those veggies and everything to prepare their own food
Yeah, we don't see a single tourist here at all. This is not a tourist spot
As these shoes are 10 Yuan, which is just two dollars. It's insane or what.
Heart? shank, beef shank
a lit bit more cilantro (in Chinese)
There's a barbecue duck spot that on the video, that was pretty amzing!
I'm coming here because the food ranger recommended it (in Chinese)
So interesting in China
Like when you take things to go, they put in plastic bags. Sometimes it's not the best especially when your food is hot
Steams up inside and gets soggy, but that's just how it is here. Yeah, look at what we got
So get it to go because you don't really have a suitable area for eating food
You have to kind of eat on the go
We kind of just we want to just put in the bag and save it for later as snacks
But all these in total it's 30 yuan, so 30 and it's like 6 dollars in Canadian
a steal
And you got roast duck
The beef shank which was marinated with the
Crispy! Tasty! Juicy!
Succulent!
you getting it? (refers to the rabbit head)
This is rabbit head.
Special thing here in
Yikes!
It's about time. It's time.
Can i try it if it's very spicy? (in Chinese)
We don't normally let people try but your wife is our foreign friend. It's OK
Thanks
Oh
Moment of truth!
oh my god!
tastes like chicken, right?
I had it before in Spain.
it's good
oh yeah!
Always trying samples
happy man right here. oh my god
that's what I'm here for.
Sweet sour deep fried fish. Your favorite. It's actually big
That's how you do a traditional Sichuan hot pot. this looks amazing
that's the best
really good
