- First time trying Chinese food in Chongqing, China!
Chongqing is known as a spicy city, maybe the spiciest city in China.
Everywhere we go, we smelled that famous spicy fragrance.
We went to Bayi Food Street, famous for street stalls and food courts selling numerous types of Chongqing delicacies.
Is China dangerous? We think the food is! Haha, food so spicy, we thought we almost die in China. Joking!
We are so glad to be in China. Yes, the Canadian government put up a travel advisory warning against visiting China. But China is not what the western media shows you. Come, and see it with your own eyes.

The couple is always cheerful, and which is Great! The man was literally burning from the inside out. Chongqing is my favourite tourist city in China with a lot of scenery and street food packed together in a 3-dimensional manner.
The gooey food you tried is called "Shaopi", which is made from sweet potato starch. Do you remember the uncle who was making noodles in front of his restaraunt in the last video? Yes, that noodle was also made from sweet potato. It provides the most gooey texture among all the natural starches. So we have lots of dish made from sweet potato starch in China.
苕皮😍
Poor Steve! Couldn't stand spicy food, but somehow ended up in one of China's spiciest city.😂
吃辣最厉害的省份重庆只能拍在第三或者第四。江西第一湖南第二第三分别是重庆四川贵州云南。
@@user-pg5cj3dl2t 江西炒个青菜都是一把小米椒，吃的我啊第二天蹲完厕 那地方都是火辣的疼
@@user-pg5cj3dl2t 湖南没那么辣，第一江西，第二重庆
@@huangarcher6395 重庆只是麻，和湖南的辣不一样。湖南比重庆辣的多。
江西那叫不小心在炒辣椒里放了两片肉
Amazing part is that you two can’t speak Chinese but weirdly capable of finding all best food in Chongqing. Almost everything you had in this video is what I am so missing😢🎉😂
Your videos are great. But I have to explain that the man in the armor in the video is not a Japanese samurai suit, but a traditional Chinese soldier's suit (甲胄 jia zhou). By the way, Japanese samurai also borrowed ancient Chinese soldier armor.
They borrowed lots of Chinese culture, then they invaded China and killed lots of Chinese.
The most ridiculous part is they have never apologised formally
Agreed. Even many japanese writing is same as Chinese
During the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent 19 missions to China and they took everything over, from Zen Buddhism to literature, poetry, Taoism, and the wooden architecture of temples and castles.
Everything from Japan is borrowed from China, yet the JOP politicians are US trained dogs. 😆😆
@@chualooong1737
And tea and food tofu noodles soy sauce
Steve: "Then they wake up in the morning and then they put coffee with chillie!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣I can't stop laughing!
As a Chinese who can eat very spicy, I have never tried this type of chillie coffee. I would like to thank Steve for this recipe, will definitely try this haha
I am a chongqing girl living in Canada now. Your video makes me laugh & missing my city. The street food you guys ate which tasted “gooey” is called “fried sweet potato jelly” with various stuffing inside such as pickled vegetable, chicken meat or whatever you like. Love you guys and looking forward to your next video! Enjoy your trip!😊😊
Really love you both and your videos. Steve is so cheerful and has a great adventurous attitude!!!! We are also leaving for China next month. You inspire us to visit Chong Ching as well!!
welcome
23:05 Every time I see foreigners dining in China. The way they use bamboo sticks is really dangerous. Sharp bamboo sticks cannot be placed vertically in their mouths, which could potentially lead to dangerous accidents
Chongqing is close to the center of mainland China and the humidity is relatively high, so chili peppers are used to remove moisture and warm the body. Therefore, the food is mostly based on chili peppers.😁
Yes ~ this is the same reason I heard why Chongqing people eat mala all the time. But I understand chili didn't come to Asia until the 15th century. What did central mainlanders eat to sweat it out before that?
@@SwampBeats666
Szechuan peppercorns that gave Steve a tingling sensation. That is local produce while chili 🌶️ is from the New World.
@@SwampBeats666 "For a long time before chili was introduced into China, the food culture in Sichuan mainly relied on spicy spices such as Sichuan pepper, ginger and dogwood." Quoted from Baidu Baike, kind of China's Wiki.
You guys have really been on a deep culinary adventure these past few days in Chongqing. People who are not used to eating spicy food will really feel the burden on their intestines when they go there. It's also important to wrap up with a fried chicken and cheese hot dog at the end to give your stomach a little soothing hahaha
In Sichuan, I recommend you take your wife to the famous Shu nan Bamboo Sea （蜀南竹海） and CHUAN XI Bamboo Sea （川西竹海）for vacation. The scenery there was once one of the filming locations for the Avatar movie.
The bamboo shoot food there is very delicious, and there are also entertainment projects such as giant pandas, cable cars, caves, river boating, cliff monuments, ancient boys and so on.
Yay! Yibin!
actually,you can leave chongqing to chengdu by car rental.of course,you have to depart from chongqing after all within 144 hours
Steve is hilarious! That's why I love following their CZcams channel!
你們太可愛了不會說中文不能吃辣到重慶又中英文雙碰撞太好笑了。😂😂😂。😂😂😂
As a native of Chongqing, I would like to say that the noodles are not spicy. It's just a breakfast. I really want to know what Steve looks like after eating crazy wings.
我就觉得担担面应该没有那么辣，他都能辣成这样，是真的不能吃辣了😂
我河南人，吃你们的担担面真的很辣😂
哈哈哈哈 是真不辣。
重庆小面已经算是比较辣的面了，兰州拉面、阳春面、臊子面一般不辣。
我南京人也觉得不辣，重庆小面是真的辣！
虽然中国是发展中国家 但我敢说的一点中国是在地球村里 最安全放松的国家之一 希望外国友人 大胆放松的旅行体验 非常感谢🙏🙏
hello, Steve and Ivana. The food you eat at 14:29 part, is called Grilled ShaoPi (烤苕皮).
It is made from sweet potato starch. And, yes, it can also be eaten in hotpot
And, thank you so much for sharing your videos with us. I like them a lot. It is quite interesting to see my country in a different way.
Sichuan culture is very Thick and so is its food. This is why it has fascinated Hollywood and Disney many times.
I realy like this guy, full of passion and sense of humor.
I love your style, energetic comedian guy + cute friendly smiling girl，always enjoy your videos~ Next time come to my city Chengdu~
Great video yet again! Love it! The best!!!!!🌹🌹🌹
Love both of you! ❤❤ Great attitude, so positive. Thanks for these videos!
very interesting, thanks for your videos ! i like them !
I am really enjoying your videos, very positive. Makes me wanna visit there again.
I guess Chongqing is coming to a close ...so looking forward to your Harbin adventure
You should go to Guangzhou to eat Cantonese food, they are not spicy and very delicious!!
He's eaten Cantonese food in malaysia n Singapore, just we add chilli bcos it's also very humid here.
cantonese dim sum is basically in every single chinatown on earth
I come from Guizhou, a province bordering Sichuan. In fact, the chili peppers in Chongqing and Sichuan are not the spiciest in China. On top of them are Jiangxi and Hunan. And Guizhou is also a province that eats spicy food. Our chili peppers are recognized as the most fragrant and delicious in China. In addition, Guizhou also has unique karst landforms and many beautiful natural landscapes. Welcome everyone to travel to my hometown as well
Haha guizhou is d one I landed in hospital. After eating 6 fish heads cooked in chilli. Delicious!
谁公认的😂
@@stephenwow3382他说的是实在话，湖南江西还有云南的辣是干辣，就是吃到嘴里，你会明显的感觉到辣椒的辣度，四川重庆的辣吃到嘴里你不会感觉到辣椒单独的作用，而是一种味道，也是川菜强调的24味型
湖南吃辣是最厉害的 四川 重庆并不辣，加的花椒有点麻嘴而己
@@user-rr2ke1pp6p 可不单单是加点花椒那么简单
Steve you are right saying the thing you ate at 19th minute, the skin outside is made of sweet potato starch, which is the same marterial of the wide noodles in the hot pot, you are a genius man
I have found that in America and other western countries, these restaurants would really tone down the spice for non-Chinese people. I don't typically find that is the case in China, as they love watching us sweat, suffer, and cry. In a fun way, of course. I love spicy and sour food, though, so it's great that there are tons of spicy food destinations in China.
I‘m from Shanghai and a lot of Shanghaineses are just like me, having zero tolerance with spicy food. When I went to Chongqing last time I had a very bad diarrhea even I demanded food very time with the smallest amount of spice in it.
But other than local cuisines, there are still plenty of food without any spice to choose from in Chongqing. But you had to try some local food if you paid all the money for your air tickets and accommodation to get there, right? That's how I got my diarrhea.
@@constantineding8700 I’ve been eating spice heavy foods my whole life so Chongqing was a paradise for me. I fortunately didn’t have any diarrhea but I would say that if I had had it the food would still be worth the pain. I plan on going through Shanghai as well, not all of my food has to be spicy so I can’t wait to try the food there as well.
Then you must try the hotpots in Chongqing. The best in the world.
There is another hotpot capital in china, which is Chengdu, about 3 hour train ride from Chongqing.
I've been told that a lot of hotpot lovers in Chengdu take high-speed train to Chongqing at weekends to eat the Chongqing style hotpot for lunch and come back the same day. But no one in Chongqing would go to Chengdu for the same reason.
So judging from that, I think Chongqing hotpot is the better one.
But a little caveat, when they let you choose the level of spiciness, do not choose any level above median spicy! @@Kagrenackle
@@constantineding8700 If you cannot handle spicy food, the spices can easily irritate your bowel and cause diarrhea.
The food you had around 19:00 is called sháo pí, made from sweet potatoes starch, which is also the ingredient for hot pot wide noodles.
Steve is very entertaining enjoying this video
What an entertaining video!! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video! Amazing!
so cheerful! Thanks!
That food that looks like green onions and giant carrots is actually green onions wrapped in pig intestine. You might see it in Harbin again and can give it a try
I enjoyed your video, jet. the food you guys mention at 18 mins is camomile, which is indeed a rice flour made food that you might be able to see in Canadian CFLs. In Chongqing this way of eating camphor is called roasted camphor, which is barbecue-like.
Grazie per averlo portato. Metti mi piace per questo video così bello.
Your serial of China vlog very nice. Wanna see more 😂❤
Great video!!! Wanted to eat!!!
The snack you see in the video, which looks like bone and is delicious, is called "crispy bones." It‘s the edible soft tissue at the end of the bone and is very tasty. You should try it!
Holy, moly, l just wonder how on earth these Chongqing people can endure such level of spicyness....really envy them. Super enjoying these Chongqing videos. Glad to see you both are enjoying your time travelling in China. Thanks for sharing such excellent content, Steve lvana. ❤❤❤ China !!!
@@user-lb3oh5pw9xnot that ancient lmao only 2-300 years 明代辣椒才进入中国，全国开始吃都是带清的事儿了
It's very humid there. Spicy food helps to raise the body temperature, get rid of some moisture inside the body.
请了解下茱萸这种植物@@Alex_k_Q
@@Fordance100 Ok, thanks for the info...✌️
Actually, Jiangxi is the spiciest province.
You guys are having so much fun, I'm jealous 😅
Wow that yogurt avacado drink looks amazing and yummy 😍 🤤
Spicy ice cream!!!😂 cold in hot out!!!. You guys are entertaining. Love it. Thank you for sharing.
I've been there about 10 times and always had an exciting experience!
Maybe you need a piece of paper that says: “不要辣椒No chili pepper, 不要花椒No Sichuan peppercorns, or just No 🌶”Then point it out directly to any waiter.😂They'll make you a non-spicy version.
Love watching you guys… So down to earth with boy/girl next door vibes. Now I really want to visit China! ❤
I like the fact that they don’t use plastic. Just Paper and bamboo which is fastest growing.
Watching your video makes me Happy 🎉
I love your video！
Six days of death-defying spiciness for our entertainment. 😂
love to see your videos in China
I'm going to order a yogurt cow delivery immediately😂
At around the 29:30 minute marker, the white sheet you asked about is called ShaoPi 苕皮, made of sweet potato starch. Thank you for showing my hometown!❤🎉😊
That yogurt cow drink looks delicious!!
I also like The Yogurt- Cow😊，and other milk-tea stores ,such as CHAGEE(霸王茶姬） and Douji(豆吉汤圆奶茶），are also good alternatives! 😘The traditional Douji milk tea is sweet slightly and when you drink it ,you will eat the sweet small tangyuan simultaneously .Tangyuan is also a kind of Chinese traditional food,which is made from glutinous rice,that may be you know.🥰
I genuinely felt bad for Steve but it was so funny at the same time. Thoroughly enjoyed. Lots of love for Stevana❤
Good video👍🏻love the vibe you two enjoy the food😂can’t wait to see you guys try more food in China,especially the food in Harbin😁
The foods looks all delicious 😋
Hi JetLag, I was travelling in Chongqing and was shocked by its landscape and street food.
i love ur volg,update more,have a good time in china
I was hoping to see you guys trying the spicy ice cream 🍦
Thank you for the wonderful video of the ultimate street food tour 👍
Really interesting😂I’ve been there once and love the food there
If you go to Harbin, you can try warm spring. It’s good for cold and make you recover faster!
Lol Steve has gone on fire mode after eating that soup noodle
Use google translate when in doubt. You both are good travelers and always so happy. Enjoy watching your videos ❤
Steve is so funny and I like this guy so much😂 Next time you order, you can use translation software to tell them you want not spicy
你们点单的时候可以说“NO LA（辣）“，他们比较容易理解。Say “NO LA（辣）“when you order will be helpful.辣=hot、spicy
Bro looked like he swam in a pool of chilies. 😂
喜欢 你们旅游的状态 总是充满客观开朗 这才是旅游的意义！
18:25 You are absolutely right about it😂they are the exact same thing but in different cooking style.
16:41 this food is called 苕皮(Shao Pi)
my like and subscription is fully deserved!
Oh my god, Im having flashbacks to my trip to Chongqing!! everything we had was swiming in MALA Spices. I loved it but my Bum? not so much hahahaha
You can order food say “BU LA（不辣）” means no(不) spicy（辣），“SHAO LA（少辣）” means less（少） spicy（辣）😂，LA（辣）means spicy .
it is very useful in the most of cities in China. But not working in Chongqing. 😂😂😂
@@Tianlangyang Less is more🤣
Actually "less spicy" in Chongqing or even in Sichuan is still hot enough.
微辣. A little spicy. Our first meal in Chongqing, we asked for 'not spicy'. The noodles lady said 'we Chongqing people don't know how to cook non spicy, so it won't taste good. How about "wei la", a little spicy. So, that's our go-to phrase in Chongqing, "wei la". 😂
Well exactly，but when you say Bu La，it actually means less spicy，non spicy？yeah ，as u said so，Chongqing people can't really understand😆@@chrissieng8146
看了你的視頻,我好想去重慶啊！
八一路, near where you stayed in JiaFengBei, is a famous food street. We went to the same eatery where you bought that pan fried dumplings. That particular eatery is Chongqing Internet famous, may be because most of the cooks are young, handsome guys? The dumplings were great and we were there almost every day during our 8 days stay. We miss Chongqing food, especially the 'small noodles', those dumplings, etc.. Can't wait to go back in April. 😁
very good streetfood😍😍😍
This episode is really funny.
The moment I saw you ordered the Dan Dan noodles, I knew how you would react hahaha...
🤣🤣🤣I just can’t stop laughing 😆 about your spicy vanilla ice cream 😅 😂😅, I’m from somewhere not far from where you were, but I have never tried your spicy ice cream 😅! Go to Kumming City, it’s another amazing city!
Cute video, very natural which stands out from other food vid where they always just introduce the top or best food. Randomly trying is fun.
Have fun !
The tingling sensation is coming from Sichuan pepper. It is not spicy but gives you the tingling & numbing feelings.
Teach you a word "不要辣" = "No spicy" 🤣 You can write down on the paper 😂
10:16 actually for ChongQing ppl a bowl of spicy noodle is our wake-up “coffee”😂
That's dan dan mian, isn't it? Looks very similar to what I had in Chengdu. I miss it so much!
@@Elurin yes. And it’s called “担担面Dan Dan Mian” because back in the time it’s carried around in baskets hanging on a thick stick called “扁担Bian Dan”, and sold in small bowls. Yet what I was saying the wake-up noodle is called “小面Xiao Mian”, which means “a bowl of noodle” in general. Pretty much the same thing hehe just different in portions.
我去重庆上学那会儿，也被震惊了，哪有人一早上就吃辣的，所以我只点不辣的小面当早餐。后来尝试了一下辣的，其实也没有很辣，只是那个红油太吓人了。
@@lilyzhang3209 就是嗷嗷香……真的不辣
love u guys from Australia❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
AIYOYO Steve! tormented by the spicyness. I would not be able to take the chillie either.
Love your video and food adventures! But you guys need a translate APP😊! 🌶️
那个小吃叫: 苕皮！！！就是红薯磨成粉，做成的粉皮，包裹一些酸萝卜鸡肉之类的，一起烤来吃❤不仅仅是在重庆，全国各地苕皮都挺受欢迎喔
帮你翻译一下：15:00 That "paper" is made of sweet potato starch
看起来和炒冷面好像
@@user-ex9op4fz1h 也行吧，就是一张大粉条子
@@user-ex9op4fz1h口感不一样，更类似于炒粉条子的口感。
@@user-ex9op4fz1h 面条的原材料是小麦，苕皮原材料是红薯！还是有区别的吧
The long brown thing with vegetable stuffed inside is actually large pig intestines stuffed with Chinese chives. It tastes awesome.
With all those lighting and lot of people, it looks like there is party everywhere! lol
The gooey thing at 18 mins is made of sweet potato starch. The pink diced vege is most likely pickled radish . Brown one is tofu skin . Lots of root vegetable can be grated w water , strained n the sediment contains lots of starch, which can be sundried . Starch then mixed with water to boil then can be turned into all shapes n forms . Noodles are common.
苕皮（shao pi）is the Si Chuan area dialect, actually, Steve got the correct answer, it's called sweet potato skin, sometimes made for glass noodles in a hotpot. But sometimes glass noodle in the hotpot is made with other kinds of food ingredients.
looking forward for you to go to Harbin😂 the clothes you bought is not enough, you can buy something more in Harbin, opposite of Sofia Church there is a value for money shopping place... you can get something more there
They light up food street brighter than any casino 😂. Steve is a real food guy order by sign language
U both are adventurous on food. Good try on the most spicy food in China. I'm stepping back Chong Qing cos of the spicy level, to the local is level 1, to me is level 5 !
those paper looking food is made from sweet potato starch. it is the same thing as sweet potato noddle they put in hot pot.
My god, foods paradise!
never though you guys would love the barbecued Shao Pi, that thing can be very spicy
