Derk adds a real nice dimension to the vlogs! His comment about how can food be this good and so cheap is really worth thinking about though. Cost of living differences aside, I think it's strange that all of us have been conditioned to think that good food needs to be expensive.

The main difference is that Malatang is like buffet that you can choose different ingredients as many as you want with sesame source added. Mixian is that you eat whatever chef makes for you, and it definitely has rice noddle in it, where Malatang doesn't have to.

It's impressive how you slip into Chinese accents and German and then back to east coast Aussie. My mouth was watering when you described the flavour of the dish. The family at the restaurant was so lovely.

you can easily tell that Amy is much much more happier when she is sharing the food with her boyfriend ❤️

"wherever I go with you, the food is awesome" - life goals

Goodness, Amy, that man is a keeper. Down to earth, and very respectful. Hope you both will be happy always!

You and Derk together are super synergistic! Love that Derk is open to trying anything and everything. He should try Chongqing spicy hot pot as the Spice King

wow, this guy has a great sense of humor. really brought smiles to my face. hope you two enjoy life in changchun.

when you see so many pictures of streets in his cellphone you can tell Derk is in a new comer exploration phase 😄

Lol he's so adorable when he smiles and is speaking Chinese and trying so hard, then goes right back to eating. lol you guys are so cute together I hope you have a very happy life together forever and ever! :)

This was so fun. The conversation about seeing the two of you tomorrow with the restaurant people was so cute.

Seeing two people being so happy be be in the other's company is so sweet and refreshing. It's clear yall bring the best in each other and makes the already good video better. Happy for u amy!

every time after a long day, come home and watch Amy's new video, it just brings me all the happiness!!!

Mixian is actually rice noodles in Chinese, so it’s mainly noodles in the dish. But Malatang means boiling all sorts of things in numbing, spicy flavour. So there might be noodles inside as well as all sorts of other things, like veggies, toufu,etc. That’s to say in Malatang noodles is just 1/10 of the dish.

I love how the people in the shop are so hospitable and friendly ! I can’t wait to visit China already :)

Glad you love Northeast Malatang. I grown up in Dongbei. So, maybe I will say something about the difference between Malatang and Mixian. Noodles in Malatang made of wheat, but Mixian made of rice. Mixian means rice noodles. Actually, neither Mixian or Malatang born in Dongbei. Malatang came from Sichuan province and Mixian came from Yunnan province. But they have some special Dongbei local taste after they come here. For Dongbei malatang, they put many many many sesame paste in it. For Dongbei Mixian, the soup is more salty than yunnan version. In my opinion, Yunnan Mixian is more like light diet to extrude the delicate flavor of food itself（like mushrooms). Anyway, the food in Dongbei is more slaty, because people need it against cold winter. So sad I just leave Changchun, or I could take you guys more local food. Sorry for my poor English. Love your videos. Peace out

You know the food is good when you cannot stop eating despite feeling full👍👍👍

Gotta love the spontaneity of going from filling up on noodles and then to a plate of dumplings. I guess the rain allowed for adequate digestion time between pit stops because that seemed like too much in one sitting.

OMG! Derk is a mad foodie! And he drinks chili like beer. You've got a serious challenger here Amy.

Amy’s boyfriend is such a decent guy, who can speak Mandarin perfectly without accent, amazing.🤭

Aww. I can't stop laughing when I watch this video. You guys are so lovely.

It was such a warm experience. I'm really happy you enjoyed it. Northeasterners treasure rainy days, especially when you paying a visit to some place or someone. It carries two meanings, 1. 洗尘 meaning "dust off and get rid of the tiredness " 2. 留客天 meaning "God/fate wants you to stay longer (to enjoy the hospitality of the hosts)". There is a wording game regarding the 2nd meaning. Try adding punctuations in the following sentence "下雨天留客天留我不留", then you will get very different meanings, such as 1.下雨天留客，天留我不留。 2.下雨天留客，天留我？不留。 3.下雨天留客，天留我不？留。 4.下雨，天留客；天留我不留！ 5.下雨天，留客天，留我？不留。 6.下雨天，留客天，留我不？留。 7.下雨天，留客天，留我不留？

Derk is a trooper! He was so full, but yet devoured the dumplings! He's a keeper haha

Derk is so lovely. Amy, it is so nice to see you both again. I have been to Changchun, 40 yrs ago. It was heavily polluted, a densely industrialized city. I did not like it much. Through your lens I can see the huge change. I hope you ＆Derk both enjoy your stay there. I love your saying 'Peace out'. Love you both. Stay blessed 🙌

It is so fun and lovely to watch you two together! I am amazed how typically german Derk is and how charming that is. Being german myself I never considered that a good thing before. Please a lot more content like that, Susi & Strolch!🥰

The differentiating factor for malatang is the sesame sauce that’s added, also in general malatang uses less soup and has a thicker consistency

You two are such a great couple. Derk is a nice talker and a real gentleman.

That scene is so sweet when you and Derk ate that noodle from 2 ends.

So great to see you guys adventuring together in China!

That massive bowl of malatang ? is terrific value and so many healthy ingredients, I love the idea of adding all your own ingredients and spices. I could see myself using that friendly family eatery many times a week if I was a local. ❤️

Derk is so friendly even though it was his first time to come to China! Keep it and you will enjoy your life in China.

when Derk said the mushroom as "see you tomorrow mushroom" and explained you will see them twice made me giggling stupidly...

Really like it! Derk added so many flavors to your video. Now it’s even more tasty!

麻辣烫 is traditionally a hotpot that’s cooked for you with sauce. The word 烫 is a verb in the name not an adjective. In 东北 they’ve just made it their own. 米线 on the other hand is often cooked in little pots in the southwest and that’s probably why they cook it that way

I could not stop laughing from beginning through to end of the whole video. Both of you are fantastic video makers.

so sweet and lovely to see you guys enjoying a fun time in a local no frills eatery - agreat support to locals who are hardworking ordinary ppl :)

Malatang has no specific staple food,this is its greatest feature.

What a lovely couple! I can't stopping smiling watching you guys eating the noodles together..

Derk seems like a chill dude, a nice addition to the videos! have fun exploring China you two

The shop lady looks so kind, if i could, i would also like to visit

Derk is a wonderful foodie partner.

So happy for your reunion! You look perfect together ❤️. And so excited to see you take Derk to try new food. He is a great guest host 😄. Best of luck for his career in Changchun!

I love how your videos became my homesick remedy. Miss everything in Changchun. Keep shooting these please!!! I will show this video to my husband and maybe we visit the same spots next year, when hopefully we will make it back home after then-would-be 4 years.

I'm reeally happy to see you being reunited with your boyfriend, and you guys are so cool!!! I pretty like the scene when you sitting in a small restaurant with the one you love, and trying something you never eat before. I can tell that Derk's appearance makes you so happy, especially when you see that donkey dumpling restaurant on the street and tell Derk how much you wanna try it with that big smiling face. Wish you two spend a wonderful time in China together!!😉

Derk is a great addition to Amy's food adventure videos! Now this video just made me so hungry. Excuse me while I go grab something to eat 😆

I think Germans also like heavy flavoured food, a bit similar to people in some areas of China, including Northeast. And most Chinese would like German food, such as sausages, sauerkraut, and pork shanks. It will be intersting to see Derk’s reaction on Northeast prickled cabbage （东北酸菜）if Derk has yet got the chance to try it.

Ha no way, Derk's handling of the Chinese 4 tones are so on point in a lot of cases. He learns quick eh? As a German born Chinese dude: tell him Alter, nicht schlecht!

Wow, your BF is deifnately a huge plus to the channel. Perfect!

A wonderful video Amy. Derk is doing very well with his chinese. Keep these coming. They are so exciting!!!

I love how spontaneous and enthusiastic Amy is about Chinese food. I want to try a lot of things after your description

Aww lovely video. This video literally made me feel homesick(especially at a winter midnight ). Good to see you enjoyed Changchun! I am sure there is something more special waiting for you to explore!

This video was great, it's so lovely seeing you and Derk together, he seems like a lovely guy. I was so jealous of that malatang, it did look really comforting. Whenever I've had malatang in Melbourne, I've never seen the sesame sauce but I really want it now!

Amy, you and Derk are just darn cute together! I am soooo excited to see more vlogs of you together! It is filling the hole of missing Blondie dad and mama! 😍

12:46 “haha… what?” he’s so funny, y’all are so cute together

This is gotta be one of my favorite of your videos, Blondie. I'm a guy and I love your bf's personality and commentary on the food.

It could be cheap because China is a big country where most food produce comes in abundance and also the market is saturated with many sellers so price can be competitive or reasonable.
