Kudos to the person who gave you the treasure map enabling you to find the pot of golden snacks! :D

My boyfriend and I love watching you from our home in Sydney and you’ve inspired us to plan a China trip later this year. I suspect we will spend the next 20 years exploring China, bit by bit. Such an amazing country with such diversity. Thanks for your weekly videos that help us live vicariously through you! Xx Kyle, from Sydney ❤

You weren't kidding about how detailed the commenter was! Even recommendations <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="51">0:51</a> on how to eat each dish. Honestly, super adorable 😂. Can you share that comment fully?

If you choose to become a food vlogger in small Asian countries, your career longevity is probably few years. If you are vlogger in China, your career longevity might be forever 😂

Your videos are like a ray of sunshine. I am having a super stressful day, but watching you have a great time in China give me the light to not throw myself out a window.

Her white t-shirt was still spotless at the end of the day. Bravo. 😎😎😂😂

I love how Amy describes each dish so precisely and appropriately. You know flavors and textures are just abstract concept that are non tangible, but Amy’s descriptions depict those vividly and make them come to life! A real foodie has the potential to be a writer!😂❤

Welcome to Lanzhou, my hometown!

Amy, 2 weeks in china with your parents would be fun. Dad is always so funny and entertaining❤❤

Ever since I found your videos about a month ago, I've been watching every single upload of yours, I love your charisma and the stuff you do. Keep up the good work!!!! I'm always so jealous of all the delicious food you eat

Finally see a westerner visiting my beautiful hometown. I guess most people probably don't and will never know about this small city in northwest of China. It's been more than 10 years since I left and only god know how much I miss everything there. I've been your follower for more than 2 years and look forward to your excellent videos.

Amy, I just love your videos. I love the combination of solo adventurer, someone learning more and more about their favourite topic, and the foooood always looks so good.

The Chinese subs were so well-done I'm shook 😍

you can literally write a book about chinese food now

Yay!! another Amy vlog. Makes my week. I want Amy to start doing martial arts vlogs as well. What a great opportunity to travel China and talk to old martial arts practitioners. I think this would be of historical importance as well because old practitioners are passing and the encroachment of modernity displaces this culture. Go for it Amy. Keep up the good work!!

Love the enthusiasm in your content. Your love and approach of Chinese cuisine really shines. Your parents are peak content too. Hope to one day bump into you (and/or your parents) in Sydney.

Successfully no stains on your white T-shirt!

I really miss the days when I had to eat authentic Northern Chinese lamb skewers❤

Wow thanks for sharing the list of recommendations! I plan to visit northwestern China next year and will definitely stop by Lanzhou

Such a pleasure joining you in your food adventures! Thank you for bringing us along. Suggestion: when you hold the food up to the camera with you hands, keep the food still for 3-4 seconds. It takes a couple of seconds for viewers eyes to adjust at all, then to examine. Difficult when it's moving around.

I'm sitting here dying! It's early morning in SE Europe, I haven't had breakfast & what you're eating looks so very yummy! Especially the firecooked skewers & bread at the end! Maybe I should pack a bag, head for the airport haha!

My hometown is LanZhou. I used to have a whole bbq pita with bbq lamb in it every time after late night painting class. With the snow all around, that hot pita is definitely the world’s most delicious food~~~

Enjoy watching this so entertaining video! Yes many dishes along the silk road have similar tastes. I believe 浆水 (No. 7 and 11 of the list) is something most difficult to find in other regions of China. But it is a little bit like 豆汁, which many people cannot stand at the beginning. You may give it a try in Tianshui as well haha!

I love how you made your food adventure merch shirt white, seems like a tribute to all these shirts that survive your chilli oil encounters!

Lanzhou food is SO good whenever I’ve tried it. I’d love to go there.

The thing I love most about Chinese food is that it is honestly mostly "healthy" yet so delicious

REALLY love all the videos. The foods look incredibly good, as usual. 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

甜胚子 is malted oats, in a similar vein to 酒酿 malted rice, but more often written as sweet fermented rice. it's actually pre-fermentation where the grain's carbs are malted into simple sugars, and not yet fermented (sugar -> alcohol)

You’re so open minded when it comes to trying new food! Thumbs up!!

你太会吃啦！作为身在外地的兰州人好眼馋😋 Love your videos 🎉❤

You know, this might be the third time I’m watching this video. And I have no urge to skip. Your content is so moreish 😂

Your video quality is soo good. Everything from the filming, to explaining the history and ideas and trends behind the food/city, and just the flow of the video is awesome!

I miss living in China the food was so good 😢❤ Japan food is delicious and fresh but it doesn’t compare to China and I miss it a lot haha. Your videos are so nice! 🙏🏽🥇

Spice tolerance is the key, so that we don't not feel spicy. And the barbecue skewers sounds interesting, with details on the tasting.

How do you stay in shape with all these delicious food?! It truly amaze me! I would be over 200 lbs if I eat like this lol!🤣🤣🤣

When I lived in Brooklyn NY (back in the olden era of the 70s to the 90s lol) I had the pleasure of having authentic Chinese spots fairly close to me. One place I used to love going to specialized in Cantonese cuisine, and especially noodle dishes. That one location I discovered created my lifelong love of Chow Fun/Mei Fun/etc. dishes. The first noodle fish you had in this video looked very similar to a noodle dish I used to have from a sister restaurant located right next door to the Cantonese spot - and let me tell you, that "dry" spiced noodle stuff is incredible. Back then I wasn't a chili head or into spicy stuff much, so it blew my face off the first few times, but a giant bowl of noodles (with pork and some of the best bean sprouts I think I've ever had lol) and a drink for $5 was amazing for a college kid like me. Mind you, coming out the other end wasn't always fun, but you know, you do what you got to do sometimes for good food :D So yeah, thanks for this one, that first dish, brought back so many memories of my experiences eating at legit authentic locations (and the two times I went to China in my life, obviously) and now I miss them so much. I don't think I've found a single authentic restaurant down here in Florida where I am in over 30 years - which sucks :(

I can’t believe they truly successfully convert a blondie into a garlic eating local

Looks amazing, have fun!

Yum meat on a stick is always good. I've had the Lanzhou lamb skewers in a restaurant in Sydney. SOOOOOOO GOOD!

Thank you for highlighting food adventures in China.... I visited for 3 weeks from Canada and most people in my life questioned why I would visit China at all....China definitely has a bad reputation, but it is mainly based on western propoganda. Everyone was so kind to me, and I felt very safe as a solo female. I had the best 3 weeks travelling there, and the food was amazing! Wish more people would give China a chance!

Well, I'm sold. I love Asia, and China is now at the top of my list for me next trip! That food looks stunning!

I always watch your videos on TikTok! Im glad you have longer versions here in YT. ❤❤❤

I wonder if some areas have milder chili varieties. I mean there was just so much flakes packed into that bbqed bun. When I was in Bhutan there would often be dishes were the chilies seemed less, but the varieties were so dang spicy that it was like eating a whole bowl of chili flakes. Bhutanese food often pairs cheese with chilis even, but no amount of cheese sauce can save you from their Scoville level!

That Shaokao looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Quite literally 🤣

gosh darn! thats my hometown! its wild how youtube knows everything! im glad youre enjoying it over there!!

Aren't you the best food vlogger in China! Can't help mouth-watering at your descriptions...🤩🤤

The shaokao was my favorite to see you try in this video. Id love to try it!

WoW WoW WoW Evch one of your videos, I become ravenous. Well, not so much with the last one, but I'm actually game for anything. I also may be travelling to China on my own in the autumn of 2025! Found money is fun money! I just don't know where to start. I'll be on my own and I'm so excited that my dream will become a reality!

Slik road closed off during the ming dynasty and chili peppers first arrived in China in the late 16th century. The slik road may have helped but not the way people thought.

Congratulations, from Canada 🇨🇦. Well deserved 🥇!!!!

I finally looked up the meaning of "Moorish". I think the American equivalent would be something like "crave-able".

I miss Lanzhou so much! Love it!

AMY YOUR HAIR IS AMAZING

陕西和甘肃在明朝的时候是一个省份，到清朝的时候才分家。另外制作油泼辣子的原料秦椒，在这两个省份都是主产区。因此陕西和甘肃都爱吃油泼辣子，风味也相似，是历史文化和实际物产双重影响的结果。

An excellent food channel!😄

Love the master Lanzhou we have here in Melbourne. Must be incredibly cheap there. I doubt I can handle the overdose of chilli there..

you come to my hometown finally, have good trip!

AMY!!! WHITE AGAIN!!! looks like its your signature look for chili! stay well!

Wow, as a Chinese, I was surprised by your video and want to go to Lanzhou to eat delicious food

Not a big spicy eater, but you eating & enjoying, really sells it! Nice subscriber suggestions!

My cousin Wang Suk Kok owns a Chinese restaurant called Suk Wang Meat House. He said he had to use gutter oil and increase meat size by blending in dead insects and saw dust. His customers commented on the great flavour of the meat paste. But lately his business decreased and he feels anxiety.

My favorite is still Cantonese food (HK: roast duck/pork, dim sum, roast duck noodle ...). I guess I grew up on those stuffs.

从没去过兰州，看完这个想去尝尝了😂😂😂那在火上烤的羊肉串确实很新奇

If you haven't left there yet and don't mind a bit of trouble, you can visit a small place near Lanzhou called Longxi. I'm from there, but I now live in Canada. There are two kinds of noodles called Dandan noodles and hulumian. I'm sorry I don't know how to write those characters. There are also many delicious halal barbecues. Thank you for coming to the barren northwest of China, where you will find the most simple and sincere people

I do enjoy your carb heavy videos.

I shouldn't have started your video at 10 pm Beijing time... It made me hungry just watching.

Fortunately, I managed to find authentic Chinese Xinjiang bbq skewers in New Zealand!

Amy you should starting giving your white-shirt game more credit now. Your shirts have just survived so much with you by this point!! 😂

甘肃，最值得旅游的一个省，张掖、敦煌都非常棒！

Lamb dishes in North West China are out of this world.

You make me hungry, movonf back to my hometown by end of 2024.

Wow , I wish I could be eating there next year

no stains! you are so skilled.

Wow, that dessert looks soooo healthy

Zha-Jiang_Mien (Fried Bean Sauce Noodles) is a common dish in northern China and every province has its special variety. Amy, I got a KZfaq channel there is a video of my dad making that sauce. Maybe you can make some of your own. Cheers mate.

I don't know where you get those "nothing drips on this white shirt" cause lord knows I need them. White is a magnetic for food when I wear it. Yes this is sorcery?! love your content. (from Gold Coast Australia)

Actually chilli came to China from the sea, that's why Sichuan people call it 海椒 sea peppers. I guess the reason why Gansu and Shaanxi have the similar chilli is because of the convenience of the transportation and similar weather. You can see not only the chilli is similar, also the accent, plants, and a lot of customs are similar as well.

甘肃陕西的羊肉看着真香，羡慕 spiel 学到个新词

Haha okay this Oat thing kind of cracked me up cause oats just do that when they are soaked because they are quite protein-y. I would love to learn more about the liquid, cause it could've been just wet oats as fas as I know haha

yes their chili is really mild compared to southeast asia chili sauces and habanero i wish that guy got you on his show he interviews celebs while eating wings with hot sauce on a scale from 1-10

That's great, ma'am. It's delicious.

Amy you need to add an apron to your merch with "whack bang" on the front. You can wear it anytime you eat😁

I definitely need to take an eating class with you because the number of white shirts I've lost to chilli oil here in China is embarrassing... Respect! 😂

my opinion places in China that have the best noodles are Xi an and Lan Zhou and most cities in 东北 for best skewers!!!

✨ Oh.....those skewers!!! 😍

Great attitude and enthusiasm. jimmy

fermented oats is interesting i've had half cooked oats because i was too hungry and didn't have time to fully boil the oats lol

"Eating spice again, wearing white again" hahaha

想起在甘肃吃了一整年的炸酱面, 到最后吃的腻的一点也不想吃. 看到这个想起了那段日子, 和那个味道

These look amazzzing. Please can you do an episode for foods that are accidentally vegetarian/vegan ! 😅

i tried eating raw garlic heard it's good for immune system but it's spicy 🥵 lol

More delicious food in Kashgar, Xinjiang, you will definitely love it

My goodness, how do you keep yourself so slim despite the amount and type of food you consumed? Take care!

你吃烤肉加烤饼的样子太诱人了

那手抓羊肉加大蒜就是一绝啊，看你吃的就好吃😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

Tianpei is made with barley, not oats. The starch in the barley turns into malt, then fermented into alcohol.

Wow you can eat and brush your teeth as the same time... I'm waiting for chilli oil to make it's way to that white tshirt hehe

Pls go to xinjiang and i promise you will love there, much more authentic food and snacks there

Is there a translate English version of the notes?

OMG！I’m so starving !
