    As a middle aged person, I like your new style of video better. No saying stuff in unison, speeding up the sound, loud music, etc. - just focusing on the food. More documentary than CZcams.

    Absolutely love what you guys are doing with this series on different regions of Chinese cuisine. Whether it's 8 or 12 or any other number, I love the fact that you guys go into the history and culture part. Personally, I enjoy the unique Qing Zhen 清真 halal version of Chinese food. Can't wait for you guys to try this type.

    I was born in Hangzhou and have lived in NYC my whole life. I'm so glad you guys did this episode. Like you said, most westerners are fairly ignorant when it comes to 'Shanghainese food'. Since Shanghai was a fishing village, it didn't really have it's own cuisine. As the city grew, it attracted people from nearby cities and other parts of China, who brought their foods with them. That's why Shanghainese food is an amalgamation of Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, and other regional Chinese cuisines. It was impossible to find Hangzhou food in NY until a few years ago, when places like Cheli opened.

    @Bob_just_Bob Před 2 lety +13

    I’m not a big fan of Shanghai food but I do love Xiaolongbao used to hit up a Shanghai restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown long ago when I still lived in NY. I’ve been living in China since the 90s so I’m used to most of the regional cuisines. I feel sorry for people deprived of the great foods of China.

    *FUNG BROS* This is GREAT! Strongly suggest you consider crossovers from time to time with "Blondie in China" who travels China in most places Americans and the rest of the world have never heard of and eats the food. I've learned more from her than anyone about Chinese regional and hyper local cuisines. And I've watched A LOT of content.

    I went to 456 Shanghai on a Thursday night a few months ago back in October when I took a trip to NY. It was great! When you're on vacay, you often forget that you're there on a random weekday, so while in Chinatown most places were either closing or no longer serving food when we got there. We stumbled upon 456 & they were still kind enough to still cook for us. The Xiao Long Baos were good & I also ordered the Eggplant with Mince Pork, it was 🔥🔥🔥! The staff were really great people too, giving us tips about Chinatown NY since it was our first time there.

    The tofu knot is called 百叶结 (bai ye jie), very common in the dish shown in the video with bamboo but also common in a braised dish with stewed pork from Jiangsu region.
    The 荠菜 (jicai) shown with the wonton or the rice cake is actually usually not the vegetable that's in the Shanghai veggie rice (菜饭) dish, as that's typically baby bok choy or a variation of it, like 油菜.

    You guys should stretch it out by focusing on each main regional cuisines (Guangdong/Cantonese, Sichuan, Anhui, Shandong, Fujian(S/O to its closely related Teochew cuisine), Jiangsu, Hunan, Zhejiang) for an episode each of this series
    There are also the lesser-known sub-regional cuisines which are
    1. Xinjiang cuisine from the Far West (Uyghur, Hui/Muslim Chinese & Central Asian-influenced foods)
    2. Yunnan & other ethnic minority cuisines from the Southwest (I think this one along with Fujian(Min) & Chaozhou/Teochew cuisine are the most underrated)
    3. Tibetan/Himalayan-influenced cuisine (Gansu, Qinghai food)
    4. Mongolian[Inner] (Has Russian, Northern Chinese, & original nomadic Mongol influence),
    5. Hakka cuisine
    6. Hainan cuisine (fun fact: Fei of miss A (formerly) hometown is Hainan XD)
    7. Dongbei cuisine (from the Northeast near Manchuria & Korea)
    Last but not least is all the overseas interpretations & adaptations of Chinese cuisines. Korean-Chinese, Japanese-Chinese, Taiwan-Chinese, LatinAmerican-Chinese, South Asian (Indian-Chinese(Gobi Manchurian), Pakistani[Jalfrezi] ), The Americas/Western (Chinese-American/Canadian/Caribbean/British/Australian) & the best adaptations outside of China in my biased opinion lol: Southeast Asian-Chinese food (Malaysian-Chinese/Singaporean-Chinse, Thai-Chinese, Cambodian-Chinese, Vietnamese-Chinese, Filipino-Chinese, Indonesian-Chinese etc)

    Yami 江南 food. Shanghai sub also has some watertown ex:朱家角, not just Jiangshu Zhejiang. Anhui is another province, no watertown. Most Shanghai origins from Jiangshu Zhejiang. In dinner table there are quite some similarity. Actually Shanghai cuisine called Benbang, that bamboo shoots soup typical one. I like winter bamboom shoot (most expensive one). Yes we use wine and ginger lot. Marinate meats and fish with wine ginger is "must" cooking recipe😅

    Shanghai, Zhejiang provinces and the surrounding areas are well coordinated regarding food production standards and measures. It has a reliable railway system that connects the urban and rural areas in anticipation of lockdowns, or in cases of discipline. The railways are efficient in transport of food, raw materials and all needs designed for the indoor farming methods standards in the cities and rural areas. Respectively.
