One of these days, you are going to sit down and write a full compilation of cuisine found across the length and breath of China. It would be a best-seller.

10 RMB for the Kiwano fruit is quite affordable! I do occasionally see these fruits around in the supermarket here in Singapore, but they are a lot more expensive and actually, usually they are from New Zealand. So you might be able to find them in Australia too.

[@Feifeihua]

Are you sure Kiwano is from New Zealand not Nigeria or somwhere? I don't see them anywhere in New Zealand. We have Kiwifruits in New Zealand.

[@TtTt-tb8zm]

Actually, when Amy checked her phone, the description text displayed was "The same kind of fruit that Thanos ate!"

[@PS-383]

It looks like the cuisine in Yunnan province shares similarities with cuisine from Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Very nice!

What a fun busy place. A bit surprised you went for the grilled tofu after the ‘balloon’ tofu. But I agree the second one does look a bit deflated! :D

Hi Amy, we just found your channel about 2 weeks ago and we just love it! We live in America but my wife is from Shanghai. We are hoping to go visit family there in a couple of months. We usually watch about 3 of your videos every night. Can't wait to see the next new video and to continue watching the previous videos. We have subscribed and like every video!

Big mistake watching this right before dinner time because I was absolutely famished watching this!

It's definitely not a good idea to watch this when you are hungry. It makes me drool. ^.^ But that jackfruit with sticky rice and the spiky fruit is the most that I want to try. :) Keep making these amazing videos Amy and thank you for sharing your experiences...

Amy, that fruit (horned melon?) is available here in Australia. I first saw it in Sydney (must’ve been something like Top Juice) I thought it looked so odd that I asked them what it was and they gave me a piece to try! I’m from Guangzhou and have been back to visit a gazillion times + been to other cities in China but had no idea this city existed! It looks amazing, the atmosphere is buzzing 💕

What a coincidence. The dish recommended to the yellow haired laowei is also the most expensive on the menu. Still, boneless chicken feet sounds real good.

[@julioduan7130]

But it’s in fact the most popular dish. Eating a chicken feet without those bones is a bless.

[@dddmiao]

If someone tells you their most popular dish is the cheapest on the menu, how would you feel? Wouldn’t a vendor charge their most popular dish the most?

@@niuchajianfa6222 It doesn't work that way. If you're a tourist for a week, then yes, it's a $3 meal. If you live and work there, earning less than $20/day, like the vender probably does, it's a lot of money.

That fruit, the Kiwano, we have in most supermarkets in Sydney. First time I saw those was back in the 1970s Adelaide (I'm old). They taste okay as a fruit in fruit salad, but nothing special. Like Star Fruit - they look cool but they're not much to taste.
