Can you believe Derk has never tried Shaokao before?? Conveniently we are currently living in Dongbei, home to (arguably) the best shaokao, so we simply walked out our front door and ate some delicious BBQ!!!

I have a feeling that when Derk tries the fermented mung bean juice, he will wish that he had the BBQ pig trotter instead. 🙂

The way Amy looks at those trotters and the moment she realised the real purpose of the bread is to wrap meat with, you can tell she’s pure Chinese on the inside just with an australian accent.

From the Turkish perspective of view the way Derk eating gua zi is very professional. Roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds are very popular snacks in Turkey. In my opinion while consuming that food the cracking noise which comes from the roasted seed makes it very therapeutic and you may find yourself lost in thoughts while cracking and eating process going on.

Amy is a curious and adventurous girl, love her sweet personality too. Most Germans are very conservative and won't eat what they don't know and like to eat and order it for life. My husband also loves Chinese BBQ the most. I once tricked him into eating a brain and I waited until he had finished eating before telling him the truth， he turned pale and said "I thought it was tofu! Then i said " Du hast mehr Gehirn im Magen als im Kopf"!

感谢Amy的视频，真的中国美食真的是最值得发扬的文化，我是一名厨师，我深知中餐做好了，真的会是一种味蕾的享受，我知道大家都挺喜欢吃辣的，但是中餐最开始的宫廷菜是咸鲜微甜的，想要做好不辣的可口菜真的是一种本事的，中餐最好做的就是辣菜，但是你让厨师做一些不辣的可口的菜品，这就很难了，考验厨师的火候，调口还要选择最新鲜的食材。

I think around 5:20 is a good lesson on social interactions with foreigners: when they decline, they usually don't use strong words. But they are very much against it. You see any never pushed for him to eat, when he said he doesn't think he could eat that. It is usually in Asian cultures to try to make your guest try all the dishes, and it could make them uncomfortable, if they decline, but you keep pushing them to try and eat something. When they decline, they mean it. Don't keep forcing them☺️
