And this place is my hometown :) I’m really glad people discover my city and are fascinated. In fact, I’m fascinated too. In these 9 years I’ve spent living in another place, a lot has happened in Tianjin and so many things have changed. But the same feeling of my belonging to this city can never change.

Miss my hometown (Tianjin) so much, thank you for your video...try some other local dishes when you would like to go to Tianjin again.

[@BlondieinChina]

Tianjin is AMAZING! Wish I had gone there sooner! What other local dishes in Tianjin can you recommend??

[@yw2249]

@@BlondieinChina Like Ear-hole fried cake (erduoyan zhagao, or 耳朵眼炸糕 in Chinese), Tangdui (which is made of Hawthron, 糖堆儿 in Chinese), Changtang, etc. These are snacks, while for breakfast, you can also try guobacai (锅巴菜), zhajuanquan (炸卷圈), doufunao (豆腐脑). For lunch or dinner, some good examples are Halal food (like beef noodle soup), shrimp with fried dough (dumianjin, or 独面筋), laobaosan (老爆三), etc.

There was even a Belgian concession in Tianjin (given as part of the Treaty In The Year Of Xin-Chou of 1901; 11 countries got goodies out of China, the 8 nations that officially invaded in 1900, plus Belgium, Spain, and The Netherlands), so if the Tintin story The Blue Lotus had taken place in Tianjin instead of in Shanghai, Tintin might have been able to claim sanctuary there in a crucial moment instead of having the Japanese and European villains all on his back. xD

Hi Blondie, The sound of the food cart reminds me of the ultrasonic cleaner we use to clean musical instruments. It looks like there is an ultrasonic motor that pacts the rice in a special way as he places the cups on top of the surface. A very neat method!! Just my guess. Great video! I will be in Tianjin to visit my wife this weekend! Will have to show her your video and try the food. Thanks for posting!!!

Yea it's a supersonic vibrating table. It vibrates faster than sounds can travel. It's used so the rice grains can't be pushed away from each other so they can be packed tightly together.
