Using Chinese apps to hunt down MOUTH-WATERING food in Guangzhou CHINA
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- After an incredible time in Vietnam we traveled over to Peter's country of birth, CHINA! The first city we visited was Guangzhou, also known as Canton. What better way to celebrate than with some mouth watering food ;)
Even though Guangzhou is China's 5th largest city with a population of 14M people, English isn't as commonly found or spoken as China's other large cities like Beijing and Shanghai. As some of you might know too, a lot of western apps that we're use to is also blocked in China (like all Google apps, CZcams, Facebook etc) so if you want to get by, Chinese apps definitely come in handy.
But Chinese apps are pretty much always in Chinese which makes things a little tricky for people who can't read Chinese like us. We have about a toddler's Chinese literacy level so I guess it's better than nothing 😅
We'll cover more on this topic in a future "what you need to know before coming to China" episode, but basically we used Dianping to find high rated restaurants in Guangzhou and WeChat to put orders through like at the very first place we had a proper meal. Thankfully Peter had a Chinese sim/mobile number thanks to Dad because we found that it was sometimes required for certain apps to work. It was a bit of a struggle to fumble our way through but we managed somehow!
We'll do our best to provide restaurant names and addresses, but these will often have Chinese in them too so if you have the apps you'll be able to enter them in and use DiDi-Rider (Uber equivalent in China) to get to the locations.
When in Guangzhou, you absolutely have to have yum cha and dim sum, so for our first stop we went to Dian Dou De (Ju FuLou). Famous for their yum cha, this was our very first encounter with needing to order via WeChat.
Restaurant name: 点都德
Pinyin pronounciation: Diǎn dōu dé
Address: 广东省-广州市-越秀区-惠福东路470号
Next up we found an amazing bakery place just from walking around on the street. The best baked goods Peter has ever had! So good was this bakery in Guangzhou China that we went back for seconds.
Restaurant name: 日美高级西饼屋
Pinyin pronunciation: Rì měi gāojí xī bǐng wū
Address: 广东省-广州市-荔湾区-和平西路29号
For the first time but not the last time we taste some beautiful roast geese and fish from a Michelin bib gourmand award winning local Canton restaurant.
Restaurant name: 向群饭店
Pinyin pronunciation: Xiàng qún fàndiàn
Address: 广东省-广州市-荔湾区-龙津东路857号
To round off these classic canton dishes Yen and I decided to go for some silky won ton noodles.
Restaurant name: 竹园竹升面
Pinyin pronunciation: Zhú yuán zhú shēng miàn
Address: 广东省-广州市-荔湾区-十八甫南路107号(广州酒家直下)
The next day just when we thought our meals and food in Guangzhou China couldn't get any better we tried the best clay pot rice we've ever had in our lives. The claypot rice at this Guangzhou restaurant was insanely delicious!
Restaurant name: 啫八
Pinyin pronunciation: Zhě bā
Address: 广东省-广州市-海珠区-滨江西路惠食佳172号

I'd eaten in a couple of places you showed in Hanoi a couple of years before you, and totally agree with you on those. Living in Wellington, I've visited Auckland often, and have also eaten in a few places you've reviewed and again agree with what you said. So I'm looking forward to visiting Guangzhou and eating at places you've reviewed here as well. I knew Google was blocked and they didn't have Über, but didn't know what to use instead. Now I do. I have WeChat on my phone, but do you really need a Chinese number for your food order, or just WeChat, on any provider?
That's so cool! Sounds like we have similar tastebuds 😁🙌❤️ We're making a video about what you need to know before traveling to China and will cover stuff about apps in more detail there than what we did in this video and the description section too so hope you'll find it useful if you're planning a trip there! 🙂 Yea unfortunately it seemed like at the start needed to enter in a Chinese mobile number then didn't need to do it for any other restaurants we used the app for after that. Most restaurants still have regular menus too though, you just need to ask for it (if you're anything other than Asian looking I think they just give it to you lol as that's what we saw in other places when the rare Westerner would wander in) But since we look Chinese it's expected people use the app to order. You don't have to pay through it though (you can't anyway unless you had a Chinese bank account which foreigners don't and can't get) so you just pay cash and for the menu stuff you just say you're a foreigner so don't have it and they will have old school menus floating around. We learnt the hard way haha but was good to experience it too. In other places we just say we're foreigners and could we have a menu instead 🙂
Can't believe hearing my name here hahaha… thankfully you mange it out and enjoying your trip in China…make me so hungry watching your video 🤤🤤
Haha hey Joann! 👋👋 Or should I call you Song Jie An? 😁 Thanks for letting us know about Dianping, definitely helped us with our food options haha 🤤❤️
The treats from the bakery look yummy!
Oh my gosh.. they were soo good! So glad we stumbled across it! Did you see Peter's hardout sweat moustache though eating the buns? 😅😂🤣
Peter and Yen yes but you guys keep going to humid places so I take it as a natural prop 😂
This episode made me the most hungry for some reason, I think it was because you guys had like 15 different foods in it haha
Hahah we definitely enjoyed Guangzhou and all the deliciousness it had to offer 😁
Yen was right! The level of DELICIOUSNESS is over the roof!
Haha I still think about that claypot even now 🤤
Yesss let the China series begin!! So excited!
Thanks guys!! Kicking it off with food 😁✌️
We LOVE roast goose! That’s a great way to serve it in that bowl with some yam - must have been amazing! Looks saucier than the ones we had in Hong Kong.
Been Hong Kong twice and both times really wanted to eat it but something would happen... finally the craving has been satisfied 😂
EDIT: it's Peter btw for this comment✌️😁
Omg this was a great video! Great spots! Love the energy! And the ending lol
❤️❤️❤️ thanks hun! 😁 We were filming on a tripod at the end and there was like a security guy lurking around but he didn't seem to care what we were doing and so we were like.. sweet! Haha carrying on 😁✌️
You make great 👍 videos. I like the ones about Vietnam. I lived in China for ten years and Guangzhou is one of my favorite cities. I’m in Canada 🇨🇦 now but going back to China in the new year. I miss it. So funny you order on We Chat. Of course everyone uses it. But I must admit I have a hard time when I can’t use google maps
Thanks heaps James! Glad you enjoy our videos 😊🙏 wow that's ages to stay in China! Awesome you're going back in the New Year, do you have some family/friend there? Yea WeChat for everything but we still prefer old school menus lol 😁 Yes! Oh my goodness.. not having Google maps or having it with VPN but it not working well is a struggle. We used Baidu maps which was a lot better to find and get us to the right places but of course it's not in English so can be tricky 😅
*friends
Peter and Yen I was a teacher there so now I do have many friends there. Looking forward to seeing old favourite places and some new places 😃
Ohh I see! That's so cool 🙂 when was the last time you've been back? Wonder if it's changed heaps since then. Shanghai (where Peter is from) changed a lot since the last time we were there!
Peter and Yen my first stop will be Shanghai and then Taipei. I usually find that when traveling some things change and some things are the same. But it’s part of the adventure of traveling
Wow I would eat every single dish in this episode... Thanks for taking us thru it all and we hungry as lol
Thanks Tony! ❤️ Glad you enjoyed it 😁🙏 we had a lot of great meals during our China trip and Guangzhou cuisine was def up there for us.. and then there's Shanghai food 🤤 Peter's hometown.. so family know all the best spots! ❤️
I love ❤️ China. I love ❤️ Guangzhou
It's an incredible place! We didn't realize Guangzhou was the 3rd largest city in China till we went on the trip! Hope you'll enjoy the rest of our videos from our time in China 😉🙌❤️
Love the bamboo setting of the last restaurant. I can see the smokeyness.... I wish I can smell those claypot dishes!!
It was so good like it looked simple but the moment the waitress opened the lid I was like ohhh man... 🤤🤤🤤
I paid close attention to everything you both described about your meals & I can truly say, I’m jealous 😭🤣
Thank you both so much, Peter and Yen. I look forward to your next video.
Stay safe ♥️♥️
Haha thank you Faye! 😊❤️ Chinese food in China is oh my goodness soo good. Had such a fantastic time eating some of the best food we've ever had in our lives! 🤤 Such a treat getting to enjoy the amazing flavours 🥰🤤
Peter and Yen, I could tell that you were both finding the foods delicious from your expressions and I was paying so much attention, no joke!
I had to come and reply and watch the video again (couldn’t help myself) 😂🥰🥰👌🏼👌🏼
@@fayevids7391 hahaha 😂😂 that's amazing loved this comment so much ❤️❤️ Guangzhou honestly had some of the best food 🤤 just wait till we show you food in Shanghai though! Peter's home town 🤤🤤🥰
Excited for that 🥰 until then ♥️♥️
by watching this video...we'll go with Peter! all of them are FAV! ^^ haha it's because we love Chinese food haha ^^
Lolol it's the best! 😁🙌
Baby moon cake is the way to go - the full-sized are SO rich with 8 million calories haha
Omg yes totally agree haha it's like you get to enjoy the taste and not feel so guilty for eating a full size one lolol 😂
I find your channel to do a much better job at showing food than any mainstream tv show. When are you getting your own tv show???
Aw thanks George! Too kind 😁💕👋
Hey Peter and Yen! So great to see this food tour of Guangzhou China! That was wild at that place you had to order all the dishes on the phone app, it must have been challenging if you weren't from there. Mad props for sticking it out and ordering. The pork dumplings, pork bun, egg custard, sticky rice all looked so delish, and a nice dim sum spread! The Goose and sauce looked so interesting and the fish and sauce looked really good! We would order that for sure! The wonton noodles looked great and not a bad price for $2.80. That herbal tea is great that it works wonders for colds and you grew up drinking it Peter! Beautiful view of the river and great video! Much love!
Thanks heaps you two! 😊🙌 Yes China is definitely not the easiest place if you can't read or speak Chinese (unless you're in Shanghai or Beijing) so luckily between the two of us we know the basics and could scrape by! 😅 It's so worth it though.. ridiculously good food and incredible sights and historic places too that we'll share in other videos 🙂👍
Coconut in the chicken soup broth?? Definitely see why you loved it so much
Peter was talking about how it has a lot of complex flavours and I was like.. it's just yum lol 😅
We have seen in other videos how they wrap the plates ... it’s really cool
Haha we were thinking seemed excessive and prob not great for the environment coz so much plastic 😅 but I think the reason they do it is for time efficiency for them and also to show the customer it's clean. They send all their plates and cups etc out to contracted cleaners and they send them back like this is what we heard!
Peter and Yen totally agree on the environmental piece
We didn't think much about it at the time but later we were like.. damn.. they must have so many customers every single day and the amount of these packed up plates and cups must add up heaps! @.@ didn't see it at too many restaurants though.. but funny thing was we still saw people doing the traditional thing of cleaning their teacups and stuff so guess people still don't trust the cleanliness 😅 or maybe they just like a hot cup 🤔 I'm really not too sure of that tradition lol
Peter and Yen they probably don’t trust it, or maybe it’s a purifying step ... I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ either 😆
That walk along the river looks nice!
It was! And something we noticed was that there's always cleaners around sweeping the pavements and ground with these amazing brushes made of what looked like skinny tree branches or long twigs that did an awesome broad sweeping 😯
Love how you guys put the prices of the places you go to! Very helpful
Thanks guys! We figured it's useful for people to get an idea what meals/food costs in other cities so in case anyone wants to try these places they know beforehand! 🙂
Yesss clay pot rice. Bring on all those crispy bits at the bottom! Always the best
Those claypots were seriously amazing.. the ones we get in Auckland couldn't compare and there's some we really like back home!
You can't leave Guangzhou without eating dimsum..that city where it was invented!! This is authentic as it gets!
Exactly! 😁✌️ And it did not disappoint.. so yum 🤤
Congratulations for reaching 10k subscribers! No doubt you will get to 100k in no time. Your contents are fun and informative! Thanks Peter and Yen!
Hi Ray 👋 Thank you so much! 😁🎉 I think you're officially the first commenter to congratulate us on hitting 10k subscribers 🙌😊 Thank you for your kind words too ❤️ We appreciate the support 🙂🙏
Wow the food looks so yummy
China has some next level deliciousness lol.. we had a lot of great food in China and some of these Guangzhou ones were right up there! Then there's Shanghai.. where Peter and his family are from so they know all the extra good spots 😍👍
We Chat to order food and a Chinese phone number?? Wow! Far cry from the old school cart dim sum. Welcome to the future!
Yea even like lil random cafes/restaurants all had their own menu app and accept WeChat or Alipay.. they do everything through WeChat ay.. payments, banking, social, it's pretty amazing. China even has electric bikes and buses running everywhere which was cool to see 🙂👍
Hello Peter and Yan! Shout out to my home town!
Hi Kerry 👋 Aw nice you're from Guangzhou! Such good food 😍
Yay!! Been looking forward to your China videos! That BBQ bun, sticky rice and egg tarts.... I need those authentic GuangZhou dim sums!!
Thanks guys! Yea! Dim sum in the place it originated is a must! 😁👍🤤
Congrats on 10,000 subs! Wow. Massive achievement!
Thanks so much! 😁🙌
I found Apple Maps worked , offline also .
We were inGuangzhou and Guilin in September. Food was amazing. Fantastic noodles congee you name it. Really just go to any place , even the little hole in the wall restaurants were great.
Your videos wants me to go back just for the food.
Arrr nice yen and I are both android users so not too familiar with apple products. Might need to try that out next time we're in China. You're totally right about great food in guilin and guanzhou 🤤 guilin food episode out tomorrow 😉
hi peter and yen, well as you can tell i am back home now and started to catch up the vids, another smile on my face , having met you both i can honestly say that you are so natural in person as you are on your vids, and just as charming too , after talking to you both and seeing this video i think china is still on my bucket list, take care and keep up the good work
Hiya Barry! ☺️👋 Great to hear from you and that you're back home safely 🙂 it was awesome getting to meet you in person! Yes def put China on your bucket list, it'll be quite the adventure 😉 thank you for your lovely comment as always 💕
Wowsers! I've heard a lot of restaurants don't do menus anymore. But, do you need a Chinese bank account to pay using WeChat as well? Ermahhgerrd that Char Siew though.. I could skip everything for egg custard tarts and just eat 2 of those. Peter - do you speak fluent Mandarin as well as Shanghainese? Far out, I'm always down for a bowl of Won Ton noodles. Currently eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast and damn near about to throw it on the floor watching this.
Yea most places we had to purposely ask for a menu and ended up just saying we're foreigners so we could avoid going through WeChat to make it easier for us lolol. Even if you order via WeChat, you don't have to pay through it at restaurants, can just still pay cash but you do need a Chinese mobile number though so that will be the hassle since it's not easy getting Chinese sims anymore! Towards the end of our trip we made a what you need to know video so hopefully will help others out too that make it there!
Peter speaks pretty ok Mandarin, it improved a lot while we were in China but it's like pretty child level lolol enough to get by! His Shanghainese is super rusty and not as good as his Mandarin.. pretty much goes off what he remembered as a kid which is pretty impressive!
Hahah love your comments 🤣 Cereals are good too 😁✌️
Lovely wedding n congrats to Shinji n Yoko. Love the lighting places...so spectacular and amazing. Also love the "Peter & Yen dräwing on the turtle....so cute.
Hahaha how come you ended up posting this on our Guangzhou video mum? 😂😂❤️ It must've auto played to the next video 😅

Thanks for sharing yummy food in Guangzhou n interest to watch:)
By the way, that is Red bean cake......
Ooo good to know thanks mum! ❤️
Really helpful tip on using Dianping app to find great food!
Def helped us a ton during the times we were visiting cities on our own! 😁👍 It's all in Chinese but you can pretty much work it out easily and go for the high rated stuff 🙂
That broth with coconut looks so interesting
Love to hear the sizzling in the food when they serve it... yummmm
Me too! So good 😍 makes it feel extra yummy haha
I should not be watching this close to midnight. Food looks so good! Love seeing you both doing your thing and traveling! All the best! Wonton noodles perfect for our cold weather. Herbal drinks work.
Haha thanks Caroline 😁 Chinese food in China itself is just next level amazing 🤤 we had a bunch of unforgettable meals during our time in China going from city to city! 🙂 Hope you and Tevita are both well 🙂👋❤️
Oh man those claypots looked so good! Awesome episode guys!
Thank you! And yes oh my goodness.. best claypot rice dishes we've ever had and we thought we had some great ones in Auckland! 😊
Hahaha 4 favorites ?? Hahaha
Hahah it was tough for him to pick with this! Was easy for me as I had 2 clear stand outs but that salted egg truffle claypot.. omg.. 🤤🤤🤤
Peter and Yen it looked like you guys were in heaven
Yum cha looks amazing, I guess the best yum cha has to be found in China itself. We had one of the best ones in HK last year 🤤
Claypot rice looks delish and to die for too 😍 would really wanna try that.
Roast goose too, omg look at that glistening skin, yummm!
We miss Kam’s roast goose from HK we had last year, the skin omg, I can eat that with rice only for a meal lol
Great video as always, looking forward for more China videos 👍🏻
Thanks guys! 🧡💛😊 And yea def gotta have yum cha in the place it originated from 😁🙌 the claypots were the best sooo good. Wish we could fly back for more 😅 Peter has been to HK once before and I haven't had the chance so hoping to go one day too! 🙂👍
We miss our wrapped dishes :-D That grilled fish looks good. (This is Maria, of course) That bowl of noodles though. That drink sounds very healthy, Peter. We would be all over that black truffle clay pot. Although the eel clay pot sounds good too. Fantastic tour guys. Take us with you!
Thanks Maria! ❤️ We were thinking later seemed like a big waste and not great for the environment all that plastic for the dishes 😅 thankfully didn't see it at all the restaurants we went tho! Oh my goodness those claypots were seriously sooo damn good! Honestly wish we could go back for another round 😅 Glad you enjoyed the food tour 😁🙌
Just as I’m sitting down to eat..I get this notification 😁
Haha hope it was a good feed! 😁👍
Wow, you guys have a lot of different foods looking yummy and delicious thanks for sharing your video dear
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂👍
Loving all the city shots
We didn't even realize that Guangzhou was the third largest city in China til we got there haha but yea big city! 🙂
New Zealand following....lol amazing. You both are amazing....
Hehe thank you so much Missy for always watching and commenting on our videos! ❤️🙂
OOOHHH THE FOOOODDD 😍🤤 You guys are literally creating my travel bucket list 😂 Can’t wait to visit one day 🙌
Haha it was soo good ay 🤤💛 not sure how much harder it would be for people who can't read or speak Chinese but damn the food was so good it was worth the struggles!
Peter and Yen Haha oh no lol Yeah the food definitely looked worth it 😍😁
点都德 is my favorite place for yum chai and Guangzhou has one branch is in the movie of the “A bite of China”, good expirence n thanks for sharing, love to watch :)
Ooo wonder which branch that was! The one we went to was so big.. and so yum! 🤤👍
Amazing episode!! That claypot looks amazing!!!! Freshly cooked goodness flush it down with the herbal tea!
Thanks Vic 😁 we really enjoyed the food in Guangzhou.. it was an excellent way to kick off our time in China 😊🙌
Wow... You guys seem to be loving China. So many unique dishes. Was that Hopia you tried? That herbal drink looked interesting... We were thinking it might taste like medicine...interesting episode guys 👍
Thanks guys! China was amazing, just so much to see and super deep history plus amazing food like next level good especially in Shanghai and Guangzhou! Could be hopia! Looks like it :) and yea those herbal drinks def taste like bitter Chinese medicine lol 😂
Those foods in Guangzhou, China looks so good
Hi Thu! 👋 It's got amazing food and each region has their distinct specialities (just like Vietnam!) 🙂
Thank you, looked great
Thanks! It was a great city full of deliciousness to offer 😁👍
I'm jealous because you have a ability to speak language any of history with the cuisine. I was just there a few weeks ago, and I'm going back in February. I hope that I have an opportunity to get out a bit more and see some of the places that you went to. I'm lucky that my phone works there, and I can use Google.
That's awesome you get to go back soon! Yea definitely an advantage if you can speak and even read a bit of Chinese but can def fumble your way around with some of the Chinese apps even if you can't read. Def find that Baidu is better than Google maps in China though! We tried both and Google sometimes just says something is there when it's not 😅 Hope you get a chance to visit some of these places too.. claypot was amazing plus they had old school menus with Chinese and English too 😁👍
Welcome to China! Hope you enjoy food and culture there!
the food there looks very nice
*got our like👍Au👍👍🏻always full view🏻 supported😊*
Thanks Billy! So much yumminess in Guangzhou 🤤
I knew y’all wouldn’t disappoint!!! Noodles!!!! Yassssss
Hahah had to have wonton noodles but reckon in NZ we get better ones than that place lol 😁
Wonderful video
Thank you Angel! 😁👋
Thumbs up for the clay pot. We both love eels! So cool for u guys to experience Guangzho food in situ!!
Those claypots were heavenly 🤤 yummiest we've ever tried and so awesome to finally eat Guangzhou / Canton food in Guangzhou itself! 😁🙌
The clay pot rice looked awesome! Not an eel guy. Hopefully they have some chicken, beef or pork options.
Plenty of different options for everyone. Beef, chicken or the truffle that yen got. Dude eel in Japan is so amazing though 🤤
Pineapple buns are the breakfast hongkong staple!! Great with some hot milk tea
Always find it so funny there's no actual pineapples lol ooo with hot milk tea would be yum 😋
Haha Peter is just greedy, all four favourites!! Love this episode guys Peter and Yen, almost hitting 10K, I'm sure you guys will be there in no time!!!! We're rooting for you!!! Lots of love from Puri and I! -xoxo Sue
Thanks a bunch guys! 🙏 Always appreciate your kind words and support! Def hope we can catch up in KL next year 😁🙌
Wow, that's so cool that you order through WeChat! Those wonton noodles look divine... Yum!!! 😍
Haha yea but we def still prefer old school menus lol 😂👍 just something about flipping thru pages and all haha.. 😁 thanks Chelsea! 🙌
Thanks Peter & Yen for your video, noticed that you're from Auckland too. Did you visit other cities in China other than Guangzhou?
Hiya 👋 sure did! A bunch of others, we've got a China playlist if you're interested to check it out 🙂 czcams.com/play/PLyvOF1SGpdVMYm1S0ujuqhtIOod50i_Fy.html&si=NXzgJvVSwK4ROTXM
New new....amazing
Haha yes totally new city for is too! 3rd largest in China population-wise :)
That first dish with the shrimp fried bread looked so delicious. I love pork buns 😍 Ohh the goose looks yummy, I've never tried it before, but after watching this it seems like I've been missing out. Must've been hard for you guys at first to get used to using all these new apps in China. We strongly rely on google for GPS and reviews usually. Seems like the prices are still pretty reasonable. Great video guys!
Thanks Lana! Dim sum in Guangzhou where it originated from is def a must.. all the dishes there were delicious! Peter super loved the goose, too fatty for me 😅 and yea you really realise just how much you rely on Google apps when you get to a place like China and all of it is blocked 😅 the struggles we had with our VPN too.. used Nord which is suppose to be the best, they advertise how they work in China and other CZcamsrs promoted it but we found it was useless in China! Worked for a few days then no more for the rest of the time.. thankfully we had my phone that used a sim with no restrictions so we could get a workaround by downloading files to phone then transferring to laptop and doing this workaround set up but it was all such a hassle and constantly stopped working 😅 whenever we could get a few hours of Internet we'd upload but it was rare so we were lucky! 😅
Peter and Yen Ooo the goose sounds good! Damn. That really is annoying. We use Nord too, I guess China has found ways to crack down on VPN’s? Glad you guys were still able to upload, it sounds stressful. You guys must appreciate having all your apps back in Cambodia now 😄.
@@LanaTiare haha was more frustrating than stressful but yes definitely glad when we got internet again 😂 worse comes to worse we just would've had to miss our weekly Sunday upload but we didn't wanna break our streak of over 1.5 years never missing a weekly upload haha so am glad things worked out 😁 Hope you guys are having a blast on the other side of the world in Austria! 🙂
@@PeterandYen Happy to hear that! Thank you! Safe travels :)
Clay pot looks really good n the goose dish too. ...very different from where we went.👍❤
Yea these are all Canton food :) the cuisines of reach region are pretty distinctive 🙂❤️
Good gosh this video is gold
Aw thank you Sundai 💛😁
Most of the bakeries near me how buns with red bean. Seems to be a go to for most people. I think it can be a bit to sweet for me though.
Yea sometimes they can be made too sweet but these were great 😋👍
Amazing food/ flavors....
So much of it! 😁
Welcome to where my ancestors were from!!! Guangzhou!! My relatives still lives here in this city!
Canton! Awesome Vic 🙂👍 Great to have relatives living there, they would know all the good spots!
Yam bbq sauce and goose.... awh it's so mouthwatering! Herbal drinks are so soothing, haha totally agree, sometimes I don't even know what I'm drinking!
Haha as long as it works lolol.. but we've had some incredibly bitter ones before 😂
Yay!! First time!!
Always fun to visit new places! 😊
Wow! Awesome! but having to order using the app, and require a phone number...sounds complicated. Is there any English translation for the app?
Congratulations on 10k subscribers!
Hi guys thanks so much! 🙂 Yea a little complicated but we wanted to try use the app. No English translation from memory, we had to get a bit of assistance at the start but you can kinda make your way about it ok. Restaurants still have regular menus and we discovered later it was just easier to ask for that and say you're a foreigner (if you look Chinese) so they understand why you don't just use the app like everyone else 😅
Herbal drink... just like that? I need some of that when I get sick
I wish I had some of that now! Still not 💯 recovered from my cold yet! 😅
They can be incredibly bitter though those drinks!! We've had some shockers before hahaha
All the food looks very nice indeed. Thank you for showcasing Guangzhou, the food capital of China. It will be helpful if you can show us the name of the place where you had these wonderful food.
All the details are in the video description section 🙂👍
Claypot rice sounds perfect in cold Japan right now. And coconut chicken soup is always delicious!
Aw you're in Japan? How awesome! We'll be going there just for a week in Jan for a mate's wedding 😊 always love Japan but their winter is soo cold! Stay warm ❤️🙂
guanzhou feels like HK, so vibrant and techy, surrounded by tall building seems to blend those traditional and modernity
The two cities are very close to each other and share a lot of the same culture too 🙂 we were surprised to learn it's the third largest city in China based on population though!
I will be in Guangzhou, China, next month..❤ Hihihihihii..
And I loveeeee Chinese food so much! Especially the noodles.. Yummm..
LOVE this videooooo, SisYen BroPet..❤
Hey Cili how are you hun? 🙂 Chinese food in China is amazing! Soo many food options it's crazy! If you like noodles, that's what Xi'an is known for and the noodles there are incredible!! Guangzhou food is super yum, so cool you're getting to go visit. Try the claypot place if you can, it's super yum 😋🤤
WAN tan noodles!!! With crab?? Wow!
Pretty sure it was the dish they were famous for coz there's very few items on their menu and that was a recommended one :)
Seems like all the different foods there are really cheap in a good way and a wide range of foods. I never had goose before, that might be interesting to try one day.
Yea food is definitely a lot more affordable and reasonably priced in Asia! Still have the expensive stuff too of course but you can def get extremely delicious cheap meals easily 😋👍
They all look so delicious😋
They were soo good! Claypot ftw though! Yen here 😁✌️ hahah
I would definitely like to try it if I visit Guangzhou in the future 😊
In Australia, we are more interest in what the Chinese put in their food then the look and taste. You should check out what they put in it and all the ingredients they used.
That crab meat flavoured Wan Tan soup sounds nice. It's what I would have ordered too, if I was there.
It was ok but not anywhere near as good as the other places we had! That place only sells won ton noodles lol so pretty much only thing you could order if you were there lol. Had to add flavouring to get it good 😅
Hey guys 😄 just wondering how you guys went about getting We-chat payments as foreigners? WE couldn't set it up as we didn't have a Chinese bank account.... BUT that would be so handy to have next time! Those dim sums had me like 😍😍😍😍 literally drooling!! The food in China is so dang good! Roast geese? Haha never even knew you could eat that.... Although I guess that makes sense. Its kind of like a big duck. You guys should a dessert video 😍 I love the weird and wonderful desserts you get in China!
Hey guys! 😁👋 Nah you can't do payments via WeChat as foreigners. Def requires Chinese bank account which foreigners can't get but you can still use the restaurant apps for ordering (if you have a Chinese mobile number 😅) we then just pay by cash. For ease of things when we went to other restaurants and couldn't be bothered using the apps to order we would just ask for an old school menu and say we're foreigners 😅 and yea Chinese food in China itself really is next level amazing! We've got some desserts in various videos from our trip so hope you'll enjoy the other videos to come 😊🙌
I nearly took a job here. I do like the look of the city. Perhaps it could be our next home in a few years time. Food looks decent and reasonably priced. How long are you guys staying in China?
Oh and congrats on 10K!!! Next stop 100K 😉
Thanks guys! Guangzhou was great, food so good and can picture you guys staying here too 🙂 We stayed in China for about 2 months, had an awesome time 😁✌️ Currently in Cambodia now and thanks heaps for the congrats! We're pretty stoked to hit 10k 😊🎉 Hahaha very long way to go to 100k tho 😅 We'll try our best 😁✌️
Is there a reason why google youtube etc is blocked? I was salivating when you guys were eating the food at the first restaurant. Yum! I loved reading your guys full description. Good info to know. My parents were in China last year. They went on a tour though but the last few days they did alone and they loved it.
My mum saw a chinese doctor while in China and he took one look at her and told her what was wrong with her. Then he made her a tea blend. Mum says its pretty rank but it works! Lol
Hahahaha Chinese traditional medicine can be very effective if you go to an expert. They are masters of natural therapy. Google and anything owned by Google is banned because the government wants to have full control of the media that the people see. That's awesome that your parents went last year n had a good time what was their favorite part?
Oh yea and coz they have their own versions of everything so I guess want people to use that instead like own maps, own search engines etc :)
@@PeterandYen Oh right fair enough, so how do you guys use CZcams? LOL!!! I am not sure, but Mum always raves about the great wall of china. Every year my parents go to a new country and for Xmas Breakfast, Mum will try to either decorate the xmas table with that country decor or try make something from that country. This year they went to Samoa. Looking forward to Xmas this year too! hehe
We actually made a video about things to know about China and cover that internet struggle lolol. Basically you can get a HK sim card that has unrestricted access.. or you can use a VPN like NordVPN to get past the firewalls but it sucked for us! 😅 Worked all of like less than a week then stopped working for pretty much the rest of the 2 months we were there! So bad 😅 that's so cool about your mum!! The Great Wall is amazing, so much better history behind it too and just a incredible feat of human engineering. Will be in an upcoming vlog of ours too 😁🙌
Nice video friend ...Like.
30 minutes for my lunch time .... I am not sure I can wait much longer after watching you eating that much :)
Hahah hope you ended up having a delicious lunch 😁👍
This last place with the claypot is going to be peters favorite place!
Am I right??
Oh I was wrong! Goose it is
Hahaha he really loved that claypot too! But he super enjoyed the goose as he always wanted to try it and found it super yum but I think reckon those claypots were the best!! ❤️🤤
Imagining l live here lol so many calories are waiting for me
Hey Selina 👋 Hahaha I think if we stayed there too long we def would've added some extra inches to our waists too 😂
Can we please get a like for how awesome Yen's fashion today is
Hahah thanks guys! 😊❤️ It's a pretty limited wardrobe when you're travelling for many months straight and limited luggage space 😅 so I appreciate the compliment lol 😁🙌
I can not wait untill I'm able to travel around the world and try food and see attractions.

Thanks guys! Chinese food in China itself is next level 😁✌️
THANK YOU
Thank you for watching 😁🤙
peter sweating :D - it must be hot indeed!
I love how the Cutlery is wrapped, i guess we know its clean, pop it open - popped XD haha
Hahah Peter can't handle heat at all 😅 not cut out for hot weather this guy 😂😂 the cutlery wrapping we get why they do it.. just to show it's clean and probably coz they send them all out to get washed and that's how they come back but seems like excessive use of plastic waste 😅 after this restaurant there were maybe only 2 others that we had it like that though luckily!
Woooooo Peter pronunciation!!!
Back in his country of birth and practicing Chinese again lol 😆
Great video Peter and Yes. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼Can you please tell me the address of the first restaurant in the video😊😊😊 tnx
Hiya Louvie 👋 Thank you! We've added names and addresses of the restaurants in our description but the first place is 点都德 (dian duo de) 🙂👍
Dou* sorry not duo :)
Thx for the great video! Do you know which metro station I need to goto for the Ze 8 claypot restaurant?
Can't remember off the top of our head sorry. We use Baidu maps or the map in didi to get around most of the time.
Omg...so yummy food!
Lots of it! 😁
Dang, google map doesn't work. Noted, Baidu Map! I need that to survive basically anywhere haha (Sue)
Haha it's the same with us so glad we were able to use Baidu map ok even though not in English 😅
