- Chongqing hotpot is a big deal, especially in Chongqing! And it really is something you need to experience: it's spicy, full of flavour, and a really social thing to do. There's nothing like huddling around a boiling pot of Chongqing hotpot, eating, drinking and socialising with friends! If you're game, try some cow stomach or duck intestine with your hotpot - it's how the locals do it!

这个CZcams博主会延伸话题，有自己的观点，区别于别的外国博主，很棒！希望更多人发现这个宝藏女孩！
是真的 了解文化了再探索 做出有深度的vlog就很赞
You are going to be famous. Great content and great personality.
i like how unlike a lot of chinese vloggers, amy actually hangs out with the locals.
Moving to China soon and love watching your videos! Can't wait to see your channel blow up.
Thanks so much Michael!!!! I hope you have a great time in China!
Welcome to China Michael, have a good time and explore the ancient but modern culture of China.
actually i prefer beijing hotpot. i feel chongqing food doesnt keep the original taste of the material because they ususally put too much oil and seasoning.
1. Learn to squat
2. Bring some toilet paper in case you need to use the restroom.
@@2200zy Beijing hotpot is also quite delicious, l love their lamb and their sesame sauce.
Believe me, Chongqing has the best proctology doctors in the world

Amy is on a roll and she cannot be stopped!!! 😋 I'm so jealous of you! Why am I watching this at 11pm!?!? Btw very fitting title, it is a Chongqing lifestyle. You get it!
解放军在美俱乐部 hahahahaha I’m so glad you like my videos!!! They are definitely super fun to film and edit
I see your channel reaching one million subs very quickly! Great content and personality 💜
love the stuff you’re putting out Amy! I’m from Australia so all of your video are so intriguing to watch. Keep up the great work and please make more university/food/travel/culture related vids 😊
Thank you SO much Miranda! My next video (uploaded tomorrow morning) will be food related! Hope you like it!
go to china~~~~enjoy the trip.
You deserve so much more views, I love all of your videos. Thanks Amy :)
Omg I just love the way the stomach tasted in your facial expressions it was breathe taking
I am Chinese and I even learned something from your vlog. Now I know why the hotpot in chongqing has 9 sections! Great content and hope you have lots of fun eating in china.
If I ever win lottery jackpot, I will travel to China and try out all the dishes there. Our own dishes in Ireland lack spices, so that we Irish are big on Chinese & Indian dishes, especially those with spices.
Second view, second like, First comment😁
Your channel is great, I love your vlogs.
Thank you so much Pasindu!!!! Appreciate your support
So much positivity in your videos, love it!
Love your smile and keep up with your youtube exploring the 3000 years old history of China. God bless you and wish you luck all the way .
Great content! Everyone of your videos puts a smile on my face.
Great job for the video, I love how you made all subtitles with both Chinese and English, it lets me learn how to say some of the words I never knew how to say before, such as pig aorta (黄喉). Keep it up!!
You are a great vlogger! Very entertaining, funny and REAL!!!
Always love watching these videos. Keep up the good work!
lightdemon23 thank you so much! Your comment made my day!!!
I will go back to Chongqing from the UK after about 20 days. I miss my hometown very badly after watching your video. But I really enjoy your style when you were filming. Good for you, Amy!
When I feel sad or low, I come here to find your smile.
That why everyone should spread positive not negative. Bless you, tough time makes you stronger.
As always, I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the excellent work! Very educational and informative...
Had hotpot when I went to Chongqing 12 years ago. Love the peppercorns, haha. Now Sichuan cuisine is everywhere here in Melbourne, including spicy hotpot.
so good to see authentic chinese food coming to western cities! I had a great chongqing hotpot 2 days ago in sydney!
@@BlondieinChina have you been to Melbourne lately? It's becoming a big Chinatown haha.
蜀香坊 near China Town Melbourne is just super. Went there once and loved it. Its like a buffet, big range of food and charged by headcount.
@@BlondieinChina Honestly, am happy with Westernised Chinese food as well. 😅
@@pavementpounder7502 哈哈，that is right, more and more authentic Chinese restaurants opened in recently years in Melbourne and more Melbournian love the food and can enjoy the real spicy food. Lot people asked me where you go for Chinese food, a good one, I want to go the one Chinese people love to go because they make real Chinese food 😁😋
Greetings from Perth, Australia.
Love watching your videos.
You have a great delightful personality and also a happy supportive family. Wish you success with your channel. Blessings.
my mother in law told me 30 yrs ago, she visited Chongqing and ate the hotpot in a very diff style. a large hotpot been seperated by metal grids, and each one just dipped from one of the grids(they are basically strangers), so from the mordern sanitation point of view, it was not so clean in the sense. But she remembered the great experience for 30 years.
Omg! Your so charismatic, how do you not have 1 million views
awww ben you made my day
Ben Landry coz he is showing real face of China 🤪🤪 CZcams doesn’t recomedent the video which show something good about China!!! 😂😂
I heard the CZcams censorship center of Chinese content locates in Taiwan, I guess that explains everything. LOL.
One reason why the hot pot in Chongqing is so popular is the climate. In summer Chongqing is not only hot, but extremely humid. I was there several times and on one occasion I felt I was in a steamer. What happened next was my girlfriend brought me to a hotpot shop and the chili and peppercorn made me sweat like hell after the meal. Miraculously when I walked out to the street again, I felt kind of cool. The stuffiness was all gone. You would love Chongqing hotpot in Chongqing, if not elsewhere.
I literally love ur channel
I like your videos, basically I watched them all. Short but straight to the point! By the way, Chong Qing is basin structure, we call it mountain city, it’s all circled by mountains, so its climate is very humidity. That’s why Chong Qing people likes to eat spicy numb hot pot to remove the humidity in their bodies. Glad you are in love with China. 谢谢你爱中国！谢谢你分享！加油！
谢谢你的支持！and thanks for that info!
Btw, your Chinese is very good, impressive! 大家都要学习你带着热情去学习和感受这个世界！你是正能量！
You have very good insight of people, history, language, foods, places & cultures of China than many overseas Chinese.
Love your energy and content!
Thanks so much Willkin!
Just discovered your channel and it is soooo good! Love your content!
I like how you put together all your videos, better than most youtuber.
Awesome video, thanks Amy! Your video really shows the authentic taste of Chinese food and lifestyle. BTW, my favorite is “chuanchuan”, I love your explanation of the name.
Chongqing is such a great place. Spent the past year there and it was wonderful 💖
北方火锅的酸菜，冻豆腐配上腐乳芝麻酱也很好吃😋
Currently studying in Chongqing, and yeah hotpot is a must here. I LOVE HOTPOT!!!
@NoPain NoGain For now it's not too hot nor too cold. But never expect to experience this type of weather here in summer(like June to September), the temperature will go up to 40 degrees celsius on some extremely hot days and make you feel like you're being burnt...... but it's fine cuz they have AC everywhere, just take your sunscreen and it'll be alright. XD
作为一个湖北人，我能吃辣，但我确实不太能接受重庆火锅，因为火锅的辣味和麻味过于出色，以至于掩盖住了那些本身就具有出彩风味的食材的味道。大学毕业后，我在广东呆了五年，逐渐接受了那些以汤底作为食材风味陪衬的清汤火锅，中国不止只有重庆火锅，也应该尝试一下不同风味的其他火锅，他们不一定有重庆火锅有名，但同样出色，这就是中国的魅力！
I love your video! so much energy.
Chongqing looks so interesting! i want to visit and try hot pot someday ~
我真的太喜欢你了！谢谢你带大家了解中国！！
Omg, you putting the stomach back in the hotpot after 8 seconds was hilarious!
I just couldn't believe it would be fully cooked in only 8 seconds! I definitely didn't want to get sick off my first cow stomach hahah
@@BlondieinChina I'm vegetarian, but even if I wasn't, I'd have dipped that thing back in there for a whole minute!!
@@BlondieinChina I don't think the cow stomach is raw, its already pre cooked/steamed, just only need to warm it and let the spicy soup flavor it, thats why 8 seconds were enough.
@@cyc20976 I am sorry but you missed the point here. The stomach is raw, and it can be cooked really fast just like a few seconds. The longer time the cooking time, the worse the texture it has. S
@@BlondieinChina when you see Mao Du starts to curl, it is ready... Once it's over cooked, it is hard to bite.
‘Talk about dedication to good content’...this is so funny!
This is another great video! And I loved it when you said Chongqing hotpot is not your specialty hahaha
Ice milk is the best drink to reduce spicy feeling. You can order that next time.
You are so adorable Blondie! Just so enjoyable your videos ! Great works you have done!
Just looking at that food set my colon on fire.
bahahahhahhahah
Sure will, and you’ll have a very spicy morning the next day.
@NoPain NoGain Spicy stuff is additive and in a good way.....It is super interesting that it tricks your brain that you are in pain, thus releases dopamine and endorphin, which make us happy and decreases stress.
Another reason that why Chongqing people like hotpot very much is that, due to the geographic location of Chongqing, which is surrounded by a lot of mountains and rivers, the climate is very humid. People need hot and spicy food to release much sweat to feel better. Personally I come from a rather dry place in the north and my body did not feel good when I firstly arrived there, and I even had some allergic reactions on my skin. But once I started to eat hotpot and other spicy food as local Chongqing people do, I felt much better.
this is my hometown, watching your video that always thinking of my home thank you so much introducing my home I will back
Underrated and undersubscribed channel
I didn’t realize she can speak so well in mandarin! God job
I had an opportunity a few years ago trying a style of Sichuan hotpot and it is called clear soup hotpot. God !! It was as hot as anything I have tried. The soup base had no dry chilli, no visible chilli seeds, no peppercorn, not a trace of chilli oil.
I definitely saw the familiar dedication and the usual good content in this interesting video.
''Excuse me, can we please have an additional table...it's for Amy's cold drinks, ice bucket, cooling fan and one or two fire extinguishers!'' :D
hahahahah thank you!!! Yes, I need that extra table. My mouth was on FIRE for 3 days... although I found that water almost makes it worse... the only thing that seems to work is ice cream or milk, but being lactose intolerant, that is NOT a a good option for me haha
下次记得点维怡豆奶
I love watching your vlogs. So informative and you always smiling. Hope you have more audience someday! Jaiyou! Fr Philippines.
Taking one for the cause, with all of that spice! Great video.
omg my stomach literally took WEEKS to recover from those 3 days of eating haha. WORTH IT!
So adventurous and funny! You're a true aussie!
You are one of best independent artist. Keep working hard!
looks happy and professional
Love your videos.
Nice vid and one of the better ones for sure ! Not been here for ages and your editing skills and content have improved a lot , well done ! Will you be staying in China for a few more years before settling back at Australia ? Great work and keep it up !
Thanks Richard!! I'm not sure at this stage, just going with the flow and doing what makes me happy! which for now is making videos and travelling china :)
Really good personality! Enjoy the video!
That’s a great video Blondie! We’re going to find a Chongqing style restaurant in Auckland and try it..... thanks for great video! I’d love to try it in Chongqing itself!
5 hotpots in 2 days? You're living in heaven haha
Keep up with the good contents, 加油
Love hotpot :) peppercorn is a bit fragrant also.
"Constant state of spiciness", hahahaha. Lucky you, I've never even seen a Chongqing hotpot let alone tasted one.
just love ur video！！！:))) ❤️
for anyone that doesn't understand chinese, the top comment says, Sichuang Chongqing anorectal hospital are also well known.(you know when ppl eat too spicy stuff)
Thanks for your amazing videos
Interestingly, as a converse to Chongqing, you'll find cuisine of Southern China especially Guangzhou region (Hong Kong etc) has very mild flavours because they generally had better access to fresh produce, by virtue of the tropical climate.
Cantonese cooking concept relies on the freshness of the ingredients to bring out it's natural flavours, hence it is a totally different style
China looks amazing. The food looks amazing.
nice welcome to China！！！
Have watched your several videos, at this video,as a Chongqinger, I really can't help to comment coz I really miss hotpot and my hometown. 我真的好想家啊。
I am still love it.
Subscribed, looking at that food has made me hungry
I love spicy food and I really enjoyed this video. During the coronavirus lockdown I rediscovered cooking.
Oooh yeah I've been cooking a lot in lockdown too!
特别喜欢你的视频，so cute～
I feel how people be happy when they get to know you
你好可爱，看的都想去重庆吃火锅了
张华 太好吃了！
@@BlondieinChina 哇，中文好好👍
Thanks for introducing the most fantastic food in my hometown. Most of part I agree but I never heard that we have "Shenkou duck intestine".
中文说得很棒！inspiring !!
Feeling hungry when watching this at night.
太喜欢你了！欢迎你来重庆玩！！我等会也去吃火锅啦！
Look goooodddddd... I'm starving
SO TASTY!!!!! I'm having hotpot withdrawals
尝尝山西南部的土火锅，西北应该都有，那种用木炭或者柴火做燃料的铸铁火锅有的是陶的，以前过年才能吃上，很多年过去了，念念不忘啊！
旱火锅 不下菜的 一锅烩
Amy you’re so great 👍👍
Hi you look so nice always smile,friendly,i love your videos,thank you for your sharing
Thank you!
I really want to go to Chongqing some time in the future and eat amazing hotpot there. Big fan of the ma la.
Girl, you are great.
I miss hot pot a lot.I love spicy hotpot having lotus stem,minced shrimp,fish balls & octopus meat balls.
Really miss hot pot.so delicious
my mouth is watering
Girl I ended up ordering Dragon Hotpot coz your video makes me crave this stuff so bad
Hot pot is a type of lifestyle!!!!
It really is!
I’m in Canada now, and the most thing I miss about is hotpot in China
Very good content! Subscribed!
would love to find out all the ingredients in that soup. once i bought a jar of chinese mushroom pickle type. it was super delicious but too strong for my already strong indian taste !! yknow how spicy indian food is. anyway, i wrote to the manufacturer and told him to make it less strong ..but he wrote back saying it was good as it is 😊
There is no problem hotpot cannot solve... otherwise the second hotpot will... this statement was absolutely mindblowing
Love Chongqing hotpot
