Fast food in China: You won't BELIEVE what's on the menu...

- It's all about adapting to local tastes, and that's what fast food restaurants in China do super well. I'm always entertained by the new and inventive menu items I see, so I wanted to make a video about it!

I'm cracking up watching this as if I wasn't the one in the video!!! Such a blast filming and eating with you Amy!!
Still very impressed and obsessed with the hand washing machine at Shake Shack!
I subscribed to your channel already. Aleese Lightyear. Welcome to join us the big family with Amy.
Hi Aleese. So surprised caused I subscribed your channel for a while and didn't expect that you've been come across Amy.
I laughed so hard when you asked her if she took the tablets so that she wouldn't get diarrhea later 💀
you are so cute in the video. Nich video
love your energy and personality great collaboration!!
The two of you have great chemistry together.
This is what i thought exactly
I second your comment, these 2 should make more videos together more often! :)
My father became durian addicted after a business trip to Malaysia. He then started hunting for all possible durian dishes in China and the durian pizza from Pizza Hut was his favorite. Like what you described in the video, my parents go to Pizza Hut regularly just for the durian pizza lol. As much as how unauthentic it is, I guess it's a great... pastry if you're very into durian...
As a Singaporean, I feel your dad. Durian can do that to you.
We dont have durian pizza in malaysia...😅
@@zoewslee lmao
Durian pizzas are so nice
I am an 100% Chinese and durian pizza is my favorite type of pizza lol.
I like how Amy guided the new vlogger who is more upfront in saying what she does not like and comparing fusion recipe to original recipe... Amy balances it out and viewers that expect more"favorable" reactions will not be offended, or at least not disappointed.
Aleese真的是气氛王，和她一起吃，不管好吃难吃都能感受到快乐的感觉。
The most impressive thing in this video is the hand washing machine lol, wish they have those here
I like the automatic hand washing consoles outside the bathroom. Seems like China is coming up with many useful idea with technology.
A lot of fancy machines
@@alexanderoahz1995 Funny motion sensor faucet was not even wide spread use in America may be 5 to 7 years ago. Only because of cov19, they started installing them everywhere now in America. I noticed that they have touch screen self ordering in Europe and China but not in America.
not sure about mainland but in Hong Kong we have them in KFCs long before Shake Shack, but not all shops have it.
@@tinyhowie Hong Kong has self ordering menu in some stores but not every store. I only remember seeing them in Langham Place McDonald. Hong Kong is so small. It is not surprise they don't have these handwashing apparatus.
Do They have that facy hand washing machine in the States' Shake Shack now?
....Reminds me when a kid opened some tupperware with durian in it next to his locker outside a chemistry classroom in the USA where I worked. A minute later a teacher pulled the fire alarm thinking there had been a chemical spill inside. The entire school sat outside for over an hour waiting for the fire department to find the "spill."
so funny 😂 i’m
lol
lmaoo
Why do white people think durian smells like shet? I smell shet in the toilet and I smell durian and they both smell different lol
I'm from Taipei, Taiwan, and my wife's from Beijing, China. I would have to say that the durian pizza is more like 4 cultures mashed into one, since durian has not become popular in neither Taipei nor Beijing until recent decade or two. It was more of Malay/Singapore specialty. So, that pizza is like a Chinese adaption of a Southeastern Asian fruit within an American interpretation of an Italian dish. (Pizza in Italy is usually thin-crusted and less heavy on the cheese.) Quite the fusion here. 8-)
I think Durian is more popular in southern China, Guangdong
Wait KFC China has fried chicken in a sundae? That's more American than America...
Murica.... wait, Murchina!
KFC in China really does chicken right, KFC here in Canada though...
@@LibeliumDragonfly As someone who has lived in both North America and China, I would say KFC in China does a better job than where it's from.
I had durian pizza in Thailand at the Pizza Company. I actually liked it a lot. More like a dessert.
Pizza is really just flat bread with cheese. So anything that would go with bread and cheese would go on pizza.
🍍➕➕➕➕Durian ➕➕➕➕
@TjmcD Durian pizza rocks. My personal fav is duck pizza. Its like having peking duck on a pizza base. Love it!!
So fun you collaborated with Alees. I did not know her but her energy is everything and matches yours perfectly! Will sub to her as well :).
They have chemistry!
Yes we have Durian pizza here in Malaysia… never tried them thou. I would prefer Durian ice cream moon cake 🥮 and I will be having them today! Happy Mid Autumn Festival! 中秋节快乐！
The durian probably comes from Msia :)
@@fabianchan7 The menu wrote Thailand Durian
@@jasonc6178 simply it’s a little cheaper and more textured than MUSANG king, I guess.
I don’t think we have that in Malaysia. At least you can’t find it in Domino’s or Pizza Hut as a regular pizza. They might have it occasionally, but it’s probably not well received as a savory food. Folks love it to be sweet. Also in Malaysia, when you say pizza, it’s going to be either Domino’s or Pizza Hut. Even Papa John’s conceded lost and left, which is regrettable. No one has yet challenged the duo.
@@jasonc6178 Musang king is too expensive i guess 😂
So much fun! Now I feel really guilty for not having gone to Shake Shack here in the U.S. 😘
So nice to meet Aleese, and can't wait to get to know her. Great video today!
Omg! The entire video is indeed, a blast! 😂 There's so much fun seeing my two favorite Beijing CZcamsr in one video! It's so relaxing to watch! Cheers to more videos together, Blondie and Aleese! 🍻😍👍👏
Amy, I really enjoy watching all your videos and especially this episode because you are just so positive, understanding and nonjudgmental attitude toward new things in compare to your sidekick. Thank you and enjoy the time in China.
I also have seen durian pizza not only is sold in Starbucks, but also one of the pizzerias in HK.
Besides, beer latte does sound weird, that makes the drinker feel energetic/awake and drunk at the same time.
have you tried a jager bomb? lol
No, I haven't.
They should just make Red Bull lattes lol same concept as the beer 🍺 one! Lol 😂
Durian pizza only available in Hong.Kong when elite clones of durian is in season from SE asia. So they are seasonal items on the menu.
😂😂😂
Love, love, love!! This is the collab I needed. I love you both and hope to see me more content with both of yall!!
You two should film more often with each other, so fun seeing you chilling together 😁
So exciting to see your new episode! Great Job!
I feel like this is just a common thing all over Asia, particularly East Asia. Having spent time in Korea and Japan, it's the same. Every season, there's a new Starbucks drink, every fast food restaurant has really interesting menus and always changing (of course still has the regular items all year round though). There are some really interesting combinations too like mentaiko potato mochi pizza lol, which not gonna lie, I loved it. There's also corn tuna mayo pizza which most westerners hate, but I love haha.
Good. I drink coffee in the morning and beer in the evening. This beer latte would save me so much time. 😅🍺
funny
contrary to some of the other comments, I really enjoyed your guest in the video! she was so chipper and had such positive energy! liked her honest review on the foods and drinks as well
YES!!!! Re: ketchup on pasta-the reason comes down to language-China’s word for “tomato sauce” is the same as “ketchup” (番茄酱)! You’ll find similar instances with other words, which helps me understand WHY these misunderstandings happen!
You two are so fun to watch. Love your shows Amy !
We don't have durian pizza in Canada, but we do have a pierogi pizza with potato slices, bacon, green onions, sour cream and cheddar. :D
Thank You, there were some I would like, All the the different food in China are so interesting, looking forward to next video.
Beer latte is my fave at Starbucks!!! At first, it seems strange. But the aftertaste is amazing. i am already addicted to it!
Yes, a kind of strange taste for first sip, but more smooth and rich in flavor, so next time we can pay a little more bucks…
I love this, i watch both you and Aleese
Omg that's so cool you and Aleese know each other! Such a fun video
Good energy and funny positive vibe. Learnt alot about western fast food in Beijing
I am Malaysian and never happend to eat durian pizza here but when i moved to China in 2018 then i found durian pizza and they are so good. Later in 2020/2021 i found durian pizza in Malaysia
I had the beer flavoured latte when I was in China 3 years ago, I guess it's popular enough they kept it around 😂
Lovely contents you deserve so many more subscribers! Accurately presented how it's like living in China. It's stunning!
你的这个朋友非常惹人喜爱，开朗、活泼、率真
Hi from Sydney Amy! Your videos are giving us hope for a sense of travel when lockdown ends
I’m American but I’ve only had Shake Shack once at an airport… it’s not widespread in many US cities, if that makes you feel any better 😁
Love your accent and videos. Always makes my day better after work.
I eat Macdonald's french fries and ice-cream sundae together too! LOVE IT. Total comfort food.
I am chinese ，i like you and your channel . you enjion all kinds of chinese food , be happy ,keep going ! have a good life in china .
I never tried the durian pizza while I was there, because I don't like durian, but I did try that "weird seafood" one and it was pretty good. I LOVE the Beijing duck pizza at the Pizza Huts there though! Like, no joke, it's probably my favorite pizza I've ever had, and that's coming from an American girl that really likes pizza.
It's always great fun in seeing Amy eating. Every time it just makes my mouth watering.
I applaud for you girls' bravery to always try something new. I am a wuzz who always orders the same thing, but at the same time, secretly wishing my friends/families would order something new, so I could have a bite.
Over here in Malaysia, we have durian crepe cake, durian ice cream, tempoyak (preserved durian) which is like a savoury dish eaten with rice. But the best way to enjoy durian is eating it fresh.
Omg you two are SO CUTE together!!!!
我第一次看到有人薯条沾冰淇淋是在5年前了，很多俄罗斯人在大连生活么，有一次在肯德基看到一个人薯条沾圣代吃我都惊了~~~~这个就和我上次和我一个local朋友吃东西一样，他吃薯条的时候和服务员要醋😆 于是我就发现澳大利亚超市里居然有专门为薯条配的醋~~~ 另外你下次尝尝榴莲千层蛋糕，也特别好吃~~~~
I love both of you. Aleese you're so fun when you say your hair is plastic. Thank you Amy for loving Chinese culture.
I really loved durian pizza when I had it in China many years ago. I don't remember the taste of it, not sure if I will still love it lol
I'm so excited to see both of you introduce Durian Pizza.
You girls rock!!! So funny and entertaining to watch the two of you out for food adventure. :)
We are so jealous of the availability of so many dishes there in China, compare to here in America! We don’t have hawthorn milkshake, no durian pizza, even the Macdonald’s here are so bland!
I’ve been to US, have to say America is the greatest, everything in America is the best. Even the Air is fresher.
@@lumpython5351 Have you been to Detroit, Michigan? L.A.? even just north in California? Homeless camps everywhere you can see. They are so crowded they even build right next to railroad tracks! Yes you can breath the fresh air in the mountains, but if you ever set foot in any major cities in America, you will be breathing polluted air!
@@davienotellin4313 I've been to the states back summer of 2016, Los Angeles, Sunnyvale, San Francisco, Dallas, Fort Worth, Grand Pirie, Boston and lastly New York, New York is my least favourite, other than that everything is fantastic. Everything I saw in the US is just what I dream of.
@@davienotellin4313 I literally ate in and out for the whole week, which isn't available in China and Australia as well as five guys, oh, I'm surprised of their size of little burger. A pack of Marlboro NXT for $5, the equivalent Marlboro Ice Blast sells $35 in Australia, A gallon of unleaded petrol in Dallas for $0.99 in contrast Australia sells $1.6 per litre. Starbucks everywhere and none in Western Australia. My favourite drink is Arizona tea. I remember back that year everyone is talking about Trump, but I firmly believe Republicans that built American today. Liberals would destroy the country eventually.
@@lumpython5351 lol you are one of those? Should've led with that last two sentences. I'm not even American and I know the old republicans that "built the American today" in your words were basically today's democrats lol
Im a Malaysian, not only pizza...it's everything can mix with Durian here!!! hahaaa~Amy, please come to Malaysia in future~
I want to go to Malaysia to eat durian. Chinese durian is too expensive
@@user-zi2su1if4j All durians in China were imported (from Malaysia or Thailand), therefore expensive.
Malaysian durian is the best. One frozen durian in Australia costs $40!
My favorite is beef durian curry hahaha
Yes we do have durian pizza in Singapore and its super lovely as a dessert pizza
I like your channel because you use English to introduce China to the English world which can help other guys understand a real China. Not like other CZcamsrs use Chinese who just want to make money from Chinese.
Hello Aleese, nice to meet you. Hope you both enjoy the day. Merry Christmas.
In HK when I lived there as a young child, I definitely remember Pizza Hut being this special "Sunday best" type of restaurant too. No Durian pizza in Japan, but we had a Tapioca pizza for awhile...
I love durian pizzas when I visited China. I'm from Singapore, durian pizzas are not as common here, people generally go for the real durian fruit itself. However, I love it when pizza joints locally introduce durian pizzas, which also usually ties in with the durian season.
I feel happy when aleese lightyear show up to your channel been a fan for you guys 😀😀
ALESSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lOVE all the collabs
I absolutely loved every minute of your video... I am not a beer drinker, but I will definitely try the other varieties of Starbucks seasonal drinks.
I love you both 💖💖💖 thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video
Perhaps the most enjoyable channel to watch out there
You can tell sharp contrast of personalities between these 2 hosts. Amy is the “open minded, go with the flow, genuinely curious about everything with respect” type of a girl. Never preset her mind before even trying anything new, or be cool when things didn’t turn out to be expected, like the previous video about the only Chinese food she doesn’t like, ha…
So u didnt elaborate the other host ?
@@irritatedanglosaxon1705 sharp coontrast*******
You and Aleese's energy match so well! Loved this collab
Years ago, Pizza Hut in Australia had spag bol, lasagne and table service. Those were the days.
Chinese fast food is so interesting!
This is surprisingly so fascinating! It made me think just how Chinese might be thinking when they step into a "Chinese restaurant" in the west.
Please explore more foods like that for us!!!
What is this dynamic duo I love it😂
I love Aleese’s energy subscribed
Canada also has durian pizza, in Vancouver 2in1 Canadian pizza
So much energy ....
I had made a presentation about the differences of Pizzahut in Australia and in China when I in UQ.
Yup durian pizza is a staple for us in Malaysia
I couldn’t stop watching you two. Great content and we should see more of you together. I miss China already!!
i'm from malaysia but never heard bout durian pizza in my life
Yes, you can find durian pizza here in Malaysia. If I am not mistaken, it was on Pizza Hut's menu 2 years ago, but it's not on the menu now. I think you still can find durian pizza somewhere else in Malaysia easily.
Durian Pizza has been just invented recent years, and it's very popular now. there is pizza restaurant named La Cesar Pizza (乐凯撒披萨) is very famous on durian pizza, you can have a try.
Yes I have had the pizza durian at Dominoes in my country and it is more towards a dessert rather than a meal.
NO WAYYY!! my two favs!!!
Best co host yet! Been here since you started too
Hi Amy we had durian pizza (thin crust) in Shanghai science technology museum for buffet lunch. It was quite tasty.
Omg just found your channel and subscribed and will now binge watch all your videos!! They’re amazing!!!! Also aleese seems great as well! Just subscribed to her channel as well lmao can’t wait to watch all the videos
中国国内的食品真的是太有意思了，总有想不到，永远不会无聊 👍👍👍
美食王国，全球第一
Love from Malaysia🇲🇾
Shake Shack also has some exclusive things in Shanghai.
Durian only became popular in China in recent years. It is a popular fruit in south east Asia.
7:44 - I do that too, macD fries + vanilla ice cream xD
Vancouver has the durian pizza and it's very yummy.
Amy, you should try Yuebin(悦宾) restaurant which is in Cuihua(翠花胡同) hutong south of National Art Museum of China, this restaurant is the first individual household restaurant of Beijing.
household restaurant? Is it 私房菜？
@@qiaowang7147 个体餐馆
I absolutely love the durian pizza!
in Czech restaurants you can also try coffee flavoured beer, that could be a funny concept if both menu lines were in one caffe/restaurant
As always, I enjoyed watching your video! We do have durian pizza from where I live in Toronto… they aren’t too bad!😂 nice to meet Aleese, will also check out her channel 🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Blondie and brown is my fav flavor
Durian Pizzas are as equally guilty as Hawaiian Pizzas to Italians.
As an italian I think that Durian pizza is so bad that it can eventually become good (such as in math where minus X minus = plus) ahahaha
Btw in future I would like to taste both pizzas but I think it will be very hard to "beat" our typical pizza !
Hawaiian CRUNCHY THIN CRUST Pizza is god
I think Durian Pizzas will be illegal in Italy
We have even crazier ideas involving durian fusion with other foods in Malaysia. Durian sundae, durian popsicle, durian nasi lemak, durian mooncake and much more
Please invite aleese more often! Great chemistry! Love from Singapore
I'm from Singapore!
I love durian pizza...
My kids love Fries with Ice cream at MacDonald...
back in the 70s we were dipping our chips in soft serve in Ballarat lol...
Two lovely ladies!
Shake Shack is very regional. While there are a few in California and other states, it is only really popular in its home on the East Coast. It's more of a novelty place out West.
