That Chenpi duck looked so nice. Put that on the list Blondie,for me to try when I get to China! BTW, I miss you so so much. Love Dad!

There are 1400 counties in China, each likely having its own little "thing" as a selling point. If you spend a week in each county doing your vlog, you will be doing it for 27 years - almost enough to take you to your retirement.

WOW, Blondie’s Mandarin is so good right now. All the study leading up to coming back to China paid off. Great work blondie.

I chew on a tablet made of tangerine peel before I present the news... I feel like it's pretty good for the throat

Your knowledge and experience about China is unbeatable. I envy you!

I am amazed at how many different people are interviewed in this episode. This is packed full of information. Blondie has been busy! Also I’d really like to commend her food-commenting ability. I’ve recognized a lot of improvement from her earlier videos. Good work!

I'm sure you're very happy to be back because even though you were not born there I think this is where your home is thank you for the great video and content

I love seeing Blondie out in the wild!! It's giving me a small sense of a return to normalcy

This was incredibly interesting. Your vids are always entertaining and professional!

Wow, I'm so impressed by this video Amy. Unlike your normal fun food videos, which I enjoyed, this video is so educational, informative and well put together. It is so well thought out with great editing, footage, expert inputs and interviews. I can't imagine how much homework you put into this for it to come out so effortlessly. Also enjoyed your tea and food review in the video so I know what the tea and food taste like. Great work and thank you for sharing as always!! Please say "hi" to your mum, dad and sister from your viewers; will miss seeing them in your video.

This is a fantastic video Blondie. Being a Malaysian Chinese, I am so surprised that you can make such an interesting in-depth presentation on something which I have taken for granted. You make me recall how my grandma and my mom made 陳皮 from skin of oranges during my childhood in the 50s. Keep up the great work! 👍

What a fantastic in-depth video about something I’ve casually eaten many times but knew little about. Also great to see you similar to a fish after being released back into it’s natural habitat, the plentiful sea. :D

it's every where as a spice, often mixed with other spices, in Cantonese cooking

Wow Blondie, you're off on a great start.

This is a very well done show introducing Chenpi. Very impressed!

Wow, 😍👍 Amy you doing a great job showing the world the culture of China instead of the constant negative publicity from msm. Great work love your passion for China.

So happy for you to be back to your home away from home!!! And looking forward to living vicariously through you by means of your videos - keep them coming Blondie BACK in China 😉

I can feel that you dedicated yourself to this video! I am from Guangzhou and now in Sydney, but you are more knowledgeable of Chenpi than me!!!!! Lol! It is a really good try to introduce this complicated Chinese traditional staff, a little bit academic though, but I appreciate your hard work!!!!!!😁😁😁😁

Xinhui is my lovely hometown, so excited when I saw you introducing Chenpi!!! Enjoy your time exploring China and look forward to more intriguing episodes!

The good thing of watching your video is I can learn how to introduce Chinese food in English .thanks Amy for sharing that.

YES!! This is what I’m subscribed for. As much as I loved the Chinese food adventures around Sydney, this is the real authentic slice of pie that I’ve missed so much on this channel. Love these mini-documentaries the most!

so much positive vibe and energy during this "world of smog" period. Great to see you keep it real and keep it simple with elegance. We all need a refresher like this for all cultures around the world. For me, China is where it is at, and Blondie is who it needs to be! : )

Omg ur video is getting better and better! You surely did a lot of homework on the background and some of the knowledge presented in this video is refreshing for a native Chinese like myself.

Wow this is truly a documentary even the professionals would envy ! Interesting presentation! Learned so much about the humble tangerine skin! Never knew there was much to a skin than meets the eye. Blondie, you are really n your element here! 谢谢 n 加油!

Thank you for your sharing Blondie. You are definitely broadcasting positively to the world especially most western people who don't know even a little about China.

I can see how much effort you put in this video, especially the Chinese-English translation. Some are quite hard. amazing!@

This video is not at all boring. Much on the contrary, it is fascinating Amy !!!

The amount of preparation behind the scene👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Amy really put a lot pf thought and hard work into it. I’m so looking forward to future uploads!!!

Stocks are good but I swapped and invested in Forex and Bitcoin trading I've been making good profit.

Interestingly as a Chinese watching an Aussie introducing something China and I found it this very fascinating! The fact is as a Chinese living in Sydney watching you eating the restaurants I have been to is just like yeah, I been there, this was good restaurant and other one was not that great. Interesting! I am so looking forward to your new adventure in China !!

Man. I admire the chefs they work so hard and lifting all the heavy woks and standing all day. Really hard working.

Didn't realise chenpi has so many uses and benefits! Thanks for another informative video, keep it going!

OMG one of my patients brought me a jar of chenpi from Xinhui he said he brought with him to the US when he left China over 40 years ago! I gave it away... I didn't know!

Add some into red beans soup (also added some rock sugar) or into beef stew (Chinese style) will make the taste more favour .

There is an old saying that Guangdong 廣東 has 3 treasures 三寶，namely chenpi 陳皮 old ginger 老薑 and straw 禾稈草。You would hardly believe that a red bean dessert porridge cooked with 50-year old chenpi would cost equ. RMB500 in Hong Kong. Ginger is also extensive used in Cantonese cooking and as a common supplement catalyst in Chinese medicine. Straw grass is even more widely used in many aspects in daily life in cooking, poultry, house building, fertiliser, packaging, etc. I can still remember we used to sleep on straw mat 禾稈草蓆centuries ago when air con is not yet available (and can’t afford to buy rattan mat藤蓆） during summer time.

Your show really have depth, super entertaining and educational,job well done mate!

As a Chinese I don’t even know this Chenpi culture in Xinhui. Thanks for sharing us this wonderful video, very informative. will get a chance to visit there next time

Omg Amy I can not express how excited I was watching this video! I been following you for ages and I would of never expected you would be visiting my hometown! 新会 is really well known for 陈皮 but yet has very little exposure when it comes tourism or KZfaq in comparison of other places in China. So I am really glad you are exploring there and spreading the knowledge on 陈皮! Also since covid I haven’t had a chance to go back to 新会 and I miss it a lot. So thank you for bringing me this feeling of familiarity😭😭❤️

Thanks for documenting your adventures in your recent videos!! Xinhui is my birthplace and hometown, and the last two ending scenes here are such a nostalgic blast from the past

i‘m cantonese, i love chenpi!!! such a great source for cooking. The quality of Xinhui chengpi is definitely standing out from others, you can tell they smell & taste with much stronger citrus fragrance & flavour

Chenpi most popular ingredient By the Cantonese widely use all over south east Asia for making soup & desert .

Congratulations!u r back to China! And love ur adventure like always!

I love this segment of Blondie in China. I remember growing up seeing tangerine skin drying in the kitchen at my parent's restaurant in New York. I now know more about Chen Pi aka tangerine peel!

The 8 treasure duck can have different "treasures" aka stuffing. The version I had was stuffed with abalone, Chinese ham, sausage, glutinous rice, diced mushrooms, salted egg yolk, dried scallops and dried shrimp. Yum. It was delicious but super expensive.

thank you for your video Blondie, it makes me realize how we Chinese put our values into any food ingredients

Blondie, Thank you for taking the time to describe so thoroughly the ingredients and process by which to make the eight treasure duck. The details of food and ingredients help the rest of us connect to China through food and ingredients. Your sharing of regional specialties and ingredients helps to explain the vast diversity of what China has to offer. Other components to include are the geography/microclimate which dictate what plants grow where and why, which determines what the hyper local ingredients are. Each ingredient requires specific conditions (temperature, water requirements, cold requirements, etc).

I can’t wait for all of your new videos from China!! It’s so interesting to learn about how different even small areas are and what makes them unique ☺️ hopefully once the Sydney lockdown is over I’ll be able to try out some more of the restaurants from your past videos to feel a bit less stuck in Australia haha

Wow thanks! This was very informative and makes me appreciate chenpi a lot more now. Another great video 😁 lotsa love from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦

This is fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Never know that before.

Great presentation of a very dry topic!

OMG, you are in my hometown. I really missed that place after I came to Canada, I am surprised you would even come to a small city like my hometown. I like your videos, it is inspirational!

I really love your channel. You really introduce China in detail.

its so good for coughs, when i got man flu, make a hto drink with it, and can get them in sugar to eat . fixes that tickly cough. super nice aswell

Thanks Amy, just the other day i was wondering exactly why dried mandarin peels are so expensive 😂😂 we actually always dry them at home but i never realized its the variety that counts

You help bringing two cultures and even two peoples closer, leading to mitigating misunderstanding for two countries. Thank Blondie!

Never get bored by watching your videos

Oh, Blondie is at my ancestral hometown (Xinhui). Some of our distant relatives could still be there. I was born in Malaysia. haha

"cooked Pu-Er tea" should be translated as "fermented Pu-Er tea" because that is the actual difference from the raw Pu-Er. Some aged fermented Pu-Er can cost easily more than $10k for a "tea cake" - the knowledge of Pu-Er can well be a detailed episode in a video series about tea So well to see Blondie in the wild in China again! :)

i just love how all of them explain to her so much, they are really kind

I'm impressed at how you're able to show your viewers so much of the ins and outs of Chinese culture. You know way more than I do!

Amy, the older ones are that expensive because they also needed to properly store them as well. And because we don’t have time machines. Once it’s consumed it’s gone right? Edit: you can also find a good batch and store them yourself. It’s much cheaper that way.

Bravo, such a refreshing video! As a northerner living in Hong Kong, I learned more about chenpi and Guangdong cuisine from an Aussie girl than from any other sources in my life! Xinhui should name you as its chenpi ambassador to the world! 加油💪陈皮女神! 🌺😃

This is one of your best vlogs. I enjoyed the well-researched content with an adequate number of interviewees. Makes me feel like making a visit to the place.

Yay Blondie is back!!! I’m so looking forward to your new content!!! 😍😍😍😍

Thank You Blondie that was a interesting lesson about Tangerine made into Chenpi, love to buy some in Australia, I don't eat meat but Chenpi for vegs, rice, make my cooking interesting, could do making tea for health reasons. See next time soon. :)

Welcome to my hometown Jiangmen, Blondie in China! I have been living in Melbourne for over 20 years but I am originally from Jiangmen. Xinhui is a county that has history of over a thousand years. Many people may not know that the first batch of Chinese who immigrated to Australia, the gold miners, were mostly from Xinhui.

I can't believe that I am learning things from a blondie even though I am a Chinese. Stuck in the US due to COVID-19, really want to go back to my hometown with my family.

The quality of your video is just getting better and better.

Very interesting video. Always saw my mother using chenpi, never thought about the benefits :)

Congrats for out of quarantine! I love your video! I am Chinese and lived in Sydney for more than 10 yrs. We recently moved to China-Beijing and so glad that i found your video as we have so much in common!!! It's really nice to watch your Sydney videos which brings back so much of my memories (especially our Aussie accent)! Hope u will visit Beijing soon:) And a quick question, how do you make friends in China. For me I find it really hard to make friends(with similar background) here in China!!! Hope you can reply 😃

That's a huge amount of work to put in this video. Congrats! I can see a lot more audiences coming from this. Would love to see more of these as well. Greetings from Guangzhou.

I loved how creative they are They even made face mask 😷 . Awesome 👏🏻

Very interesting! I would have never guessed chenpi has such a rich culture and usages. I do love the chenpi teas or Chenpi Beef (Cantonese dish). You never cease to amaze!💪🤠👏♥️

When you are in Xinhui, you need to try out the 古井烧鹅!! I grew up eating that!!

Thanks Amy for sharing and showing such interesting aspects of China and its culture! It's great to discover such a specific topic and go that deep in detail.

Thanks Amy. I learned more about Chenpi in Xinhui from this video than I learned about this product in all 83 years of my life. No kidding.

The chenpi store must be really confident in their security. That 1950 chenpi jar should really be stored away inside a safety deposit box considering it could be used as a down payment on a home.

Big thank you Amy for showing us China is safe, clean and practises law and order. No graffitis, no trash, no drug peddlers and no homeless in the street.

I've always thought I knew something about Chenpi since I either eat it as a snack or have it in my red bean soup till I watched this video. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

U become a connoisseur dude yay kudos to yr sunny attitude

Back to where you truly shine, out and about. The length of this video is perfect.

Just being in China for a few weeks, your Chinese mandarin has already improved dramatically!

OMG, this is the first time in my life that I see the culture of my hometown on KZfaq, and I am so happy. Thanks for this great video, keep it up.

Thanks for introducing Xinhui to your fans as this place is where my ancestors came from. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Can’t wait to see your next chapter to enhance my knowledge

You've upped your game with all hard work you've put into this video, it was excellent. It had so many cast of characters and from tea sipping to having a meal. I see a different type of energy in you now that you're back in China. China is your home... don't let anyone convince you otherwise. I'm sure China is honoured to have you back! A toast to your happiness, success and good health in China. 🍵 🍵

My mum made me this tea but I had no idea what it was! Thanks for sharing this 😀👍

Very informative and I love your enthusiasm for knowledge and beautiful use of language whilst filming both in Mandarin and English..🙂❤🙏

Impressive! Thank you for sharing =) Also seems like the first time in my whole life that I hear "Chen pi" so much, haha.

Guangdong is one of the capitals of Chinese food. Hope u enjoy fantastic food there.

Fantastic video! Had no idea of all the culture behind chenpi

- wow so much work, effort and passion went into this one video. thank you so much blondie! -

Thanksss..as a Chinese, I didn't know what chenpi was until I heard it first time from you. :)

Damn, the Cantonese accent Mandarin, love it. Lol

More new discoveries please! Amazing video as always! Theres a red bean type of dessert that we put chen pi in aswell 陳皮紅豆沙 that's worth a try

Amy, this video is beyond good! You have a good style and talent on this kind of documentary type videos. I enjoyed every minute of it! I'm learning a lot of new things about my home country from you now. Thanks! Welcome back!

Your content is actually very educational. A lot of travel blogs just show off the scenery and maybe explore very surface culture and customs. You go pretty in depths with your content. Great job!

Sooooo missed your China vlogs... welcome back & great topic with the chen pi🙂🙂🙂

This was so cool. I love how informative and interesting your videos are.

Wow... impress by the level of information shared in this video. Usually you tried to do that in your other videos but for this video is really back to back. Feel very professional together with fantastic editing. Well done, I think your years of doing youtube have polished your hosting skill to a really professional level!
