  • This may have been the funnest video I've ever made, mostly because I LOVE CHINESE BREAKFAST! It's very different from what you might eat for breakfast in your home country, so when you're next in China, don't be shy! Give some of the local brekkie foods a go!

    Thank you for identifying the soy milk. I didn't realize it was soy but it was a fixture at every breakfast during my stay in Guangzhou last year. Very tasty and boiling hot. It never occurred to me to dip the churro like bread into it. And the layered flat bread you showed must surely be one of the worlds greatest breads. I always had it with green onions and it was fantastic! Now, if someone could identify the green vegetable they served every breakfast. Maybe broccoli rabe, or something else? Long and skinny broccoli like appearance, with fried garlic I think.
