I don't think I've ever laughed so hard filming and editing a video. Peter, you're a legend!! I think this little experiment proves just how different a northern and southern Chinese palate really is.

  • Love how even a Chinese native finds some food strange. Clearly demonstrates how vast the variety of food is in China. Love Peter!!

    Peter watching this video in Auckland, New Zealand and be like lmfao 😂 anyways, flying back to China tomorrow and will be more than happy to continue the amazing Chinese food adventure with Amy until the point I’m moving to Paris and become Pierre 💁🏼‍♂️ Just don’t ever make me try douzhi again 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

    In some parts of China, 茶 doesn’t only represent tea, but also any drinks or liquid that you treat your friends or customers, for example 鸡蛋茶 egg tea, 油茶 oily tea, 花茶 flower tea, etc.

    As someone learning Mandarin, I love hearing you and Peter speaking Mandarin to each other and shop keepers. It helps me learn the real names of these dishes. More please! 😊
  • @jackg5321
    Peter's laugh and colourful energy is just infectious - two minutes in and I'm giddily too! Peter more than he typical Cantonese guy!
  • I'm siding with Peter today; I've tried douzhi and became so ill that I got a migraine and had to go home. For me it was the smell. 🤢 I'd still try anything once! Cheers Amy and Peter
  • Yes, we absolutely love Amy, Peter, and their shows: interesting, relaxing, fun, and pleasant! Peter is so funny and Amy is the little Sun in the show.
  • It is great to see Peter representing for the Cantonese! We can be a little bit of a food snobs(quietly it is due to fears of unknown and envy) when it comes to food and beverages from other parts of China.

    ahahaha I remember when I moved from Beijing to Guangzhou, getting used to the palate change between the regions was sooo hard, even though I was only 5 years old and supposedly "adaptable" at such a young age. As soon as I saw the video title I was like "oooof", especially since Peter is an adult, who clearly loves his Southern Chinese cuisine. Good on him for being such a good sport though! He basically reacted exactly how I expected him to react, especially with the reversing between sweet/savoury of certain foods between the North and the South.
  • @tanneale6923
    Love Peter! Episodes with him are always so fun and entertaining!
  • I love your videos with Peter, and this one was the best! A series with the two of you roaming China, having delicious and hilarious food adventures, would be AMAZING. :)
  • @kimslau
    Peter and you are a great team! As a Southerner Cantonese British Born Chinese i can relate to Peter's preferences. Amy; yet another mind opening video. Are you going to do a video of western dishes like rib eye steaks in China. I would like to see if that even exists in China. Keep up your fabulous work!
  • I used to think Peter was a bit much but now I love seeing him in these videos. Some of these beijing foods are so regional specific most northerners would not react well to them.
  • @regina_hsieh
    Love seeing Peter and Amy trying/eating food together. Hope to see more of Peter the southerner even though he’s moving to France soon?
  • @lukejahja6327
    So good to see Peter in the video. Good on you Peter for trying those dishes and your reaction was the best 😂
  • I love Peter he’s such a good sport to be on your videos, you guys rock!
  • Always love to see Amy colab with Peter or Jasmine. They get along so well with Amy
  • @ELCL123
    Peter's so adorable! And a great sport!😂😂❤
