The hummus seller was really keen on practicing his english.

Seeing Shushu and Ayi always warms my heart! Reminds me of the people who have become my family away from home in China ❤️

🎵Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours. With a little understanding you could find the perfect plan. Neighbours, should be there for one another. That’s when good neighbours become good friends🎵 So true from your recent videos! :D

I really enjoyed the little history lesson about the bridge, very interesting! And the view was wonderful 🥰 Keep up the good work, Blondie! Ps: it's nice to see your neighbors again!

Wow, Amy, you have always surprised me with so much knowledge about China. The reason the Chinese built great channel to transport goods from South of China to Beijing is really fascinating. Not only do I learn about Chinese cuisine, I also learn some interesting history about China. Thanks you!

Her neighbors are so sweet. Good people.

As a person born and live in Beijing for 27 years, I even don’t know the history of Wanning bridge!!! Really appreciate your introduction!❤️

What a blessing to expose yourself to such lovely neighbors, lucky u. Stay safe and healthy there in Beijing. ❤️

Tried biang biang noodles and roujamo in Sydney China Town yesterday as you suggested them in a previous video. Loved it!! Thanks for your videos :) (UNSW alumni here too!) x

egg and tomatoes is also a dish here in italy. it's fun to see that all over the world people in the end always eat the same things

I know I’m late but your neighbours are literally so kind!!

You make an ordinary day seem anything but ordinary. I love the idea of you trying different snacks for your picnic and parking yourself on a bench and enjoying these little treasures. Your neighbors are lovely and you are a warm and friendly hostess. Another video that left me smiling. Thank you❤️

Amy , your neighbors are very kind and supportive. I have confidence in you that with a proper steamer and a pastry cutter you can make a tasty mantou - a savory one and a dessert one with either cinnamon and butter or with dried fruit and nuts.

Can never go wrong with egg and tomato stirfry.

Never would've thought of Sichuan hummus! Sounds like a great combo!

Amy, I absolutely love your positive energy!

Over the years of tasting and eating just about any food has given you an edge in creating dishes right out of nowhere. Which is a good thing I guess. It's an adventure in your life which we dream of.

I think we need amy cooking class, I want to taste the eggplant dish 🤤

Amy, as always, is lovely. 💯💯💯She makes our day and we learn so much from her about China, Beijing and all the places, things about China. Regarding the food, it's kinda envious to see her eat such a variety of delicious food! 🍜🍚😋🍷😋🍷😋🍷🥟🥠

Amy speaks chinese to hummus guy but he's also gonna practice his english when opportunity presents

I can always rely on you to make me hungry 😂 Thanks for sharing!

作为北方人的我可以说，虽然馒头不是主角，但是馒头可夹万物，以前人们不在饭点时饿了的话就会吃一个来垫垫肚子

Hummus with the "mantou" was a perfect match. Good job!

love the vibe, your cooking and your neighbours - keepit up

i missed your neighbours! they are so nice!

Would love to see you cook something Western for your neighbours to try out!

What I miss most is the deep fried Mantou in my college cafeteria.

Such a lovely neighbour you have over there. I guess there always many kinds people all over the world. It's just the politicians that make a country looks bad.

So glad to see you are so happy again and your energy has come back during the pandemic. Enjoy everyday there!

You are such a masterchef🦄 When my mom was pregnant, she enjoyed Mantou because she found other dishes too greasy. So I was enjoying Mantou as well in her stomach as a baby 😊Mantou is such a sweet hommie flavour and it brought me back my babyhood memories, babies have no memories though 😂 Anyway, warm greetings from Berlin🇩🇪 and the little Mediterranean island Cyprus 🇨🇾🏝️ Love your chanel and you are absolutely an amazing KZfaqr🦄 Thanks for sharing👍🏻

What a productive day and well-done on the dinner! Looks delicious!

Hey Amy! Thanks so much for filming this lovely vlog! You just made my day cuz I was soooo bored at home for the past 2 weeks while being sick and isolating at home…😷 love to see more videos soon! All the food you made and purchased looked so delicious!🤗🍆🍅🥒🍳🍜🍷🥟🥖 Take care!!🙋🏻‍♀️

My wife's from Kunming and we marinate our cucumber in soysauce, garlic and Lao Gan Ma for at least 6 hours (in the fridge). It makes the taste of the cucumber so much better. I hope we'll be able to go back to China next year when all restrictiions are lifted. We miss Kunming teribly. Maybe you could do a video on School Nr 1 in Kunming that, according to the central state exams had been the best school in China for the past 10-15 years. One of the administrative people there once told me they kept the number of students "low" to keep the high quality. When I asked what she considered to be a low number of students, it turned out that the two campusses together hold more than 1200 students! My wife is an alumni of that school and both she and her late father used to be teachers there. Plus there is so much more to see in Kunming and the rest of Yunnan!

This is such an interesting and warming video, all the food looks good and you become such a good cook now❤

Wore my hair like that in the late 1970s when I was about 9!! Looks very cute on you 😋😋

I lived in Beijing for 16 years, and you have taught me something new today about the place. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing and showing us a glimpse of everyday life of Chinese. Your neighbors are lovely!

that's exactly how I steam stuff without a proper steamer xD

分享一个馒头的做法：把馒头切成条，鸡蛋打匀，馒头裹上鸡蛋后下锅炒，油不要放太多，炒的过程中加一些葱花。小时候生病我妈经常给我做，现在吃不到馒头了，很怀念。

Blondie, we have curry dumplings here in the Philippines. We use them for hotpots. They are usually imported from Taiwan.

I am watching this while eating my cup noodles. So envious.

Hi，Amy，thanks for this lovely new video！beautiful city view，beautiful you，and tasty food make the city of covid zero controlling looks not that bad！

You have such a nice friendship with your neighbours! Well done on the cooking. It looked delicious!

I want to see your neighbors react to non-Chinese food!

actually I'm trying to learn some English through your videos,your accurate and clear pronunciation combined with Chinese and English subtitle is quite helpful for me,and the content of your videos is something I'm familiar with and interested in,so it's also very enjoyable .thanks for your excellent videos.

I see you know a lot about Chinese traditional food !

Nice!!! Thanks for sharing some of Beijing history and your first home made meal for your neighbors.👍😁

I still remember the first time I traveled to BJ in '82. We, 4 blokes, didn't have those "food tickets" or whatever it was called. We probably paid a lot more than the locals for food. Later on one of us got some of those tickets from a relative. We only then found out that staple food was sold by weight, instead of by item number. Long gone were those days.

I‘ve been waiting for this for days!! Thanks for your lovely video Amy!!

Highly refreshing take on daily life in Beijing.

I’ve been waiting for this video since Tuesday!

Yooo those dumplings looks freakin amazing and awesome idea it’s like an Indian dumpling and sichuan hummus ugh it’s not even 9 and this is making me hungry. Also I love when you include the history of the areas you visit 💕

Sometimes I just crave a plain mantou. So satisfying to eat. It's like freshly baked bread. You're happy to eat it while it's still steaming hot. My guilty pleasure is fried mantou with sweetened condensed milk. Can't go wrong with fried food.

You're always so bubbly! making your videos very fun to watch :) Love your neighbors too!! they're such a lovely cute couple.

That’s so amazing you cooked a wonderful dinner for your neighbours. God Bless you Amy.🙏💜

Great Post loved the informative and little street tour with history lesson thrown in around the river making tea for your neighbours was nice show of hospitality. You are a great foodie fan and reviewer..Fantastic editing skills..Nice one Amy ⭐⭐⭐🤗

just make me smile and occasionally lol along this video as always..good job!!

I love that you and your neighbors have such a good relationship. It's nice to have people around you like that, especially when you're far away from family. Also, thanks for the resetta stone discount, I went ahead and grabbed it to help with my Chinese! :)

I would be happy to be YOUR lovely neighbor. Glad to see you are getting along with your neighbors very well!

I cracked up with the "nice and tasty garbed with a dumpling" reference haha,, golden lol at 4:30

I love your neighbors! They are so lovely.

Love your neighbors! Hope you don’t get locked down. Keep the great videos coming!

It's so great your neighbours and are welcoming

My Beijing wife didn’t know that interesting info on the bridge. Keep up your wonderful postings. We love them!

Never a dull moment watching your interesting video. Bravo Blondie. Will keep following your channel.👍😁

Hats off to you for sharing so much history about Beijing.

Love your new hair "style", make you look much younger and vibrant!

Your video make me smile from beginning to the end! You are so lovely!

It is heartwarming to cook food for your neighbors in Beijing, Miss Amy, having a better time to get to know each other well.

Love these vids!!

Thanks for the history lesson about the bridge! Always fascinating to know the history behind any architecture.

Your cooking skill is amazing!

No worries on lockdown...Loved this video so creative!

Absolutely love your video! Just want to point out a minor thing: “你有什么问题” usually means “Do you have questions”, “What’s your problem” would usually be like “你有什么毛病” which is more aggressive and unfriendly

Hey Amy, love your neighbours, both 叔叔and 阿姨 are the very 地道的decent 北京人, and your Chinese accent starting to have Beijing tone now, I always think the Beijing dialect is the coolest. I love your channel, love your contents, love your positivity, love your family too..have been following you before the C-19 started…Keep it up, your channel takes us to the places/food that we are longing to go and enjoy; ohhhh, how I miss home, haven’t been back for 2+ years due to C-19. Take Care！

Loved the history tidbit! Please include more of these in your videos!

Pleasantly surprised by that short segment about Wanning Bridge that came seemingly out of nowhere! Best little nugget of info I learned this week. 😊 I always walk past and just wonder "what an old looking stone bridge..."

so enjoyed when seeing you eating that food

I have been following you for a lomg time and I find that your videos are so refreshing and honest, if you are not okay with someting you say it not in a negative way. Not everyone likes everything.

Neighbors look super nice!! So cute

Amy nailed it as usual! Awesome!

i love that the hummus guy who wanted to use english with you. he wants the opportunity to practice english much respect!!!!

Enjoy watching you enjoy life.

That was a one day delay in posting weekly video, Amy. I was wondering if you were doing okay yesterday but I was finally relieved when I saw your weekly video posted today. Good work and take care Amy.

was in beijing recently, for the first time. the trip helps put some context into your beijing videos esp the houhai and gulou hutong areas

I found your channel by accident and grew in love with it ever since, your video has none of the political shenanigans, it also doesn't just show the wonders and achievements (aka the best part of China), it shows us the real China and Chinese life down to earth, and your video is always full of joy, it put a smile on my face every time I watch it. I can see why your channel has grown more and more popular, keep up the great work!

Oh! New video!

So Wholesome!

现在这个季节，北京周边的公园也值得去玩。近点的香山，香山植物园，八大处。樱桃沟，十渡可以避暑。潭柘寺，红螺寺还有远点的盘山等等都挺好玩。

Very nice of you to cook for your neighbours.

Love all ur vids. Keep up the good work. U have opened me to teying new things. Step 1 is sichuan peppercorn.

what a lovely video!

Life is so good in Beijing.

The eggplant dish looks extremely delicious! I'll have to search through your content to see if you have a video where you make it because I really want to taste it~

Wow! Beijing seem so clean and beautiful now, really made me want you visit again. I am am hoping that our whole family can go there for a few months to take in the culture and let my kids learn the language.

I'm a Beijinger living in Sydney and the scenes featured in your video are all places I frequented when I was a student. It's great to see the history of Beijing in your video for a global audience. The Wanning Bridge, also known as the Houmen Bridge, the two dividing beasts are now protected by a fence, which used to be absent, so feel free to go over and take photos. I haven't bought the Gulou steamed buns, there are too many people in line every time, and like you said, they are just steamed buns , and you can't get the taste of lamb. I hope everything goes well for you in Beijing and that you take more videos of local life in Beijing so that I can see what changes have taken place back home.

Mantou is used for dipping (think Singapore Chilli Crab). I suspect the layers allow it to be a better vehicle to pick up the sauces.

I have been to Shicha Haifor so many times but I never bothered to find out more about its history. NowI know! Thanks so much for sharing!

lovely picnic video!
