In terms of how it cooked and the skin, it should be the same. Well thanks for a wonderful 2021, looking forward to this year. From the land below the wind. Salute!

Happy New Year, Amy! I love your videos. My mom loves them too. The first one I watched was the Hakka tulou. My mom started watching the ones filmed in Australia with your family. She loves your family too, so your family have contributed to your success in some part. She doesn't understand much of what you say, so she has to read the Chinese subtitles. The northern food you have shown is somewhat foreign to her, so she mainly sticks to Hakka and Cantonese food.

This is my favorite episode of all your amazingly great episodes. It's got everything in it. Amazing food, family and friends, suspense and drama, witty banter, and the best brain ever! 😆Love it!

Happy New Year. Best chefs came from the Phoenix City of Shunde. The delta area of Pearl River has all the magical ingredients. It's a place of "fish and rice" of the South. You can spend years in this area and still haven't tried everything.

Nice! Hope you try the Black Sesame pudding dessert while you're in Shunde. Very popular in this region. My mom's favourite dessert there growing up (I just found it okay but I grew up in Canada). Happy New Year; it's still New Year's eve here, 5.58 PST, 6 hours to go. Deep freeze on west coast (for Vancouver) -5.

I had the fortunate opportunity to live in China roughly a decade ago for an extended period of time. I routinely traveled the eastern half of the country from Liaoning in the north to Guangdong in the south and most points between. As such I not only experienced about 12 different language dialects but also 12 different cooking styles (probably far more than 12 of both). I ate at high-end restaurants in private dining rooms and in local kitchens 5 blocks off the main drag. I loved everything but one dish stood out for me. I can't remember the city or the company that was hosting me but the Chef was introduced to me and I to the Chef. The city was roughly 100 to 200 km north of Shanghai. The Chef told me (via interpreter) that most regions in China had a special dish and that he would be presenting me theirs. This dish would be the last dish of the 10 or 12 course dinner. The meal was fantastic and then the special dish was delivered with great fanfare. The local name of the dish escapes me but it was deep fried battered pork belly bites with a dark sweet and sour sauce ... basically sweet and sour boneless pork ... and I knew I was home (as I chuckled to myself). Cheers.

That was hilarious! lol I hope you two didn't take it too personally. The opening scene sounds like the owner/grandma was worried that other customer wouldn't be comfortable to come in becoz you were filming inside (as other people pointed out). Judging from their accents, most likely they don't know how to be polite in Mandarin, which came off as "kicking people out." But I don't think the grandma was being harsh on you too--especially how she put her hand on Jasmine's shoulder--to me, a cantonese dude, that gesture indicates an attempt to get closer to you (her way to show politeness and ask for your understanding, perhaps).

You can make ginger hit milk at home. You just need freshly sqeezed ginger juice (about 1-2 teaspoons for an average rice bowl) and milk. You heat the milk between 70-80 degrees Celsius and then pour it from a slight distance into the bowl with the ginger juice. Quickly stir it together a little and let it sit. Then it will solidify. Oh yes, If U want sweet flavour remember to add the sugar when U were heating the milk. Do not let milk boil tho. And HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Jiangsu province is renown for producing beauties and Jasmine is of no exception. The roast goose and congee looks real delicious. My nanny was from Shunde and I used to eat congee like the one in the video when I was a kid. Thanks for bringing back good memories. I'm a Cantonese and I'm real sorry the shop owner had treated you that way.

Happy New Year ! Shunde is one of our best Canton food , it should be No 1! Enjoy!

Happy 2022 Amy! Nice video as always! You know u r still the kindest person I've ever seen on KZread! lol. No one has to explain anything for the owner. I know they just want you to feel better, or worry that you'd lose your good impression of this country, Guangdong or Shunde. Surely I don't believe you would since you're so smart, understanding and open minded. Regarding to the owner, she's just ignorant(Relatively I mean. Can be totally normal in some locals). I dont mean she's bad. She may well be the nicest and gentlest grandma and mother also. I guess she just simply fears the unknown. She didn't know what you were doing. And maybe other customers didn't either. You guys don't look like any TV news reporter though you were like taking footages. She might think "thats so weird. I bet others think so too. No wonder only one came in to sit after this. These two gotta go!". Some comments said it's about the portraiture right or spending too long inside. Nonsense really. Because she doesn't know anything about your right of staying there or any others' portraiture right. And one thing also, you guys can't speak cantonese. Jasmine is already foreign enough for the shop. And plus you? Come on, clearly the most one-time customer for them. They don't need any advertising. That's a WoM local business. Okay, to sum up, you guys are exploring really local places, which is amazing. But meanwhile you'll encounter some older generations in relatively closed or underdeveloped areas(believe me there're underdeveloped areas even in Shenzhen or Guangzhou). Mostly they're nice enough. But some just are sensitive and haven't seen much of this world. In that case, you can patiently explain that your work might benefit their business(if you manage to communicate, better talk to the younger ones). Or, you just offer to buy more and take away. :D

Please Blondie, upload more of your formidable videos. I just love them and admire you.

Nothing more than happier to see two beautiful smiling faces in the first video that I watched on the first morning of the New Year. Jasmine is a real 識吃貨.

We got there and they caught a duck and chicken from the rear of the restaurant and killed it ready for dinner. The Americans with us were horrified for some reason. I have been to Shunde twice.

Typically restaurants are for people who want to eat, not film and document; so they probably wanted to prioritize customers who were going to do just that. In Japan where I'm from, they wouldn't kick you out, but normally people would make a phone call and notify a staff if it was okay to film a youtube video, then they usually prepare a nice secluded table for you that wouldn't interrupt other customers. It's just an etiquette thing.

Agreed. Personally I would not feel comfortable when someone on the next table was filing. You can see other guests in the video.

Absolutely right. Unfortunately, foreigners (especially white Westerners) don't think this way.

Me too, I don't want to eat at a restaurant that allows people to film inside. I go to restaurants to eat and relax and I can't relax when people are filming because it makes me feel uncomfortable. Don't film in restaurants, it's very inconsiderate towards other people who just want to eat and enjoy themselves

Some KZreadrs tend to lack self awareness when shooting in shared spaces. A while back, I saw an entire video by a travel KZreadr, ranting against Air Canada for asking him not to film from his first class seat.

In Japan it's actually illegal. Never heard of this in China though.

Poor gals! Your cheerful personality should not be affected by this single bad incident! Awaiting more of your mouth watering and hilarious videos. Cheers!

Oh, It’s my hometown Shunde. I miss all the Shunde food so greatly. I haven't been home for 3years. I am in Sydney and you are in Shunde😆

Happy new year and what an unfortunate end to your adventure=/ But on hindsight the goose looks amazing! Couldn't care less about the milk since the service wasn't great=P

the goose was SO FREAKING AMAZING! I cannot even describe the flavour and juiciness and deliciousness

They were probably worried you were secretly filming their process of making the food to set up a competing business...Or worried some other shop had paid you to do it, since you said they were considered the best one at双皮奶。

The roast goose looks shining. Can imagine how tasty it is by just watching at it.

I loved this video!!! So enlightening!! And I love duck/goose too!!

Good idea bring Jasmine into the video, she is so sweet catches most Chinese male's eyes. I am food lover, but my eyes was stick on her face instead of watching you guys eating. Good one.

So jealous on you two beauties. NSW is losing control for Covid now! 😭

Happy New Year to you both🥳🥳🥂

Just a suggestion, perhaps call the restaurant ahead and ask whether you can shoot there as it will take a while (eg. more eating time than normal customer). Or go to the restaurant at quiet time, usually after lunch session, before dinner session.

This is the best food! Shunde is about 30 minutes away from where I live.

the BEST!!!! Ahhh my stomach was very happy in Shunde

Not really known for service there, we once got yelled at in a restaurant for not finishing chilli sauce. They scooped it out in a little dipping dish and we didn't eat it all and get scolded. We did say we only wanted a small portion 😂 Karens won't survive in China

You're fantastic Amy! I'm going back to China cuz I got tired of drooling XD

I am salivating watching you two going at it.

Amy: You must have well indoctrinated your parents on Chinese food. I couldn't get my US born son to appreciate Chinese food half as much as your dad. I have been to Australia six times, and many, especially those in West Australia, are quite reserved(??). My belated Bon Appetit!

I am in Australia. There are 2 Shunde restaurants in Sydney but their "goose" is really duck. Heard you said you liked roast geese in Australia. Where? Btw the prices and size of portion you shown are so good. Wish I can be there.
