You won't BELIEVE these fast food items in China....

[@MrEL28]

The "square meat" burger at Burger King is 卤肉 burger (pork in dark soy sauce stew), it is tradtionally served with white rice in souhern Chinese cuisine. But at BK, it is placed on a bun with cheese. The pork is usually 3-layers (hence it's "flexible"), meaning there's a layer of skin, fat and lean meat.

[@Harveyinchina]

I love that in China they incorporate fast food outlets into the local architecture. Doesn't ruin the scenery 👏

[@lovefromhuang]

got you🤣

[@Willemma123]

Or just don’t have American Run fast food chain in local architecture at all. It kinda ruins the vibe. You’d be walking down a road and seeing all these architects expecting to see all Chinese local or Chinese food in general, then out of nowhere you see McDonald that taste just like typical American McDonald that you see everywhere in the US.

[@AleeseLightyear]

What a FUN video!! Watching us eat that mystery meat burger made my stomach hurt all over again. Thanks for sharing the screen with me Amy!! We always have a blast!

[@BlondieinChina]

Can’t wait for round 3!!!

[@falconfrank548]

You have such a great personality. happy cny!

[@走流浪去]

That's just pork shoulder

[@theodorehsu5023]

You both make for great content. It was brave for you to do food videos when you’re seeing those menu items that go, “Come on, take a chance! When’s the last time you had anything close to this? When do you think you’re gonna have something like this again?” And it’s always great when you do.

[@andrewearlwu554]

It looked like braised pork belly. I guess it didn't taste like it.

[@Veronica_Boer]

I love your friend Aleese’s vitality and energy. She’s a joy to watch. It’s truly entertaining and educational (in terms of what to avoid in a McD in China).

[@leocao505]

Try pan-fried chicken burger, that's the only good stuff of McD.

[@Veronica_Boer]

@@leocao505 I love Chinese food from any region, I prefer to honor local businesses rather than multinational fast food chains. I'd go to a Mac only if anything else were closed and I was starving:-)

[@josechong8207]

What a sweet start to a new year. You two crack me up every time... I had so much fun watching this video... :) You two have such great chemistry as foodies and I loved the bit of Disney callback when sharing the burger from Mickey Dees :) I love Thai dry pork and Chinese-styled dry beef. Seeing the pork bits on that cake made me want to be there and enjoy that with you guys so badly. And I would have loved that craysfish burger... Yay for MacDonald's.

[@zyctc000]

Noice!! BTW the flowers at 6:56 are not cherry blossoms but the plum blossoms(梅). They bloom late winter/early spring( right around the time of the Chinese New Year). Hence they featured in the Chinese New Year theme.

[@Harveyinchina]

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 😁🇨🇳🐯🎉

[@yunfanwang1609]

Happy Chinese New Year! The flowers on the wrap of the McDonald's burger are actually plum blossoms instead of cherry blossoms.

[@bcskqc]

the salted duck egg in sweets is the same logic as in mooncakes, steam buns with lotus paste and sponge cakes in dim sum, that is IF you like those. The idea is to take a whole bite so the flavors are blended together, rather than picking the ingredients apart first.

[@jerometsowinghuen]

Happy Chinese New Year and stay healthy, Miss Amy, 祝你新年快樂，身體健康，心想事成，萬事如意。🧧🐅🏮 Besides, you are so brave to try something unique in a fast food restaurant of a different country, even I have never tried it yet, but would pass instead.

[@JustinBrehm]

Such a fun video Amy. You both have great chemistry together thank you for all the hard work that you do with the content

[@elleem3951]

Haha I love salted egg. The reason salted egg is added to Chinese deserts is because the saltiness cuts through the sweetness to balance it out as we generally dont like sweets being too over powering. Not everyone likes it still, but salted egg enthusiast like me really like it lol

[@yodatea8073]

Me and my family LOVE salted egg!

[@David-Feng]

The burger from BK is called pork knuckle burger. So actually it's a piece of braised pork knuckle.

[@lyhthegreat]

i actually thought it's some kind of 五花肉

[@David-oy9ri]

That is a very neat way to expose traditional, but modernized Chinese foods in China. Very entertaining. Good job!

amy you're not all in on the salted egg trend?! Im in canada and we even have salted egg ice cream bars in our asian supermarkets (which I love lol!) and anything and everything is being salted egg-ified right now! (must have come from the saled egg fish skin crisps in singapore)

The flowers on the wrapping paper of the McDonalds foods are plum flowers, a kind of flower that blooms in winter so the Chinese think it is beautiful and strong & tough. We always use this flower as an icon to represent the winter and be a kind of good wish

Happy Chinese New Year Amy!

[@jiaa899]

Pretty sure the square burger is kinda like a braised pork belly

[@vitaliyragoza5306]

The Burger King pie "purple rice" 紫米 is supposed to be better than red bean 紅豆。But that is more like Southern Asian favor(?). The square meat looked like 東坡肉。Heard that Taiwan eats that in New Year, not sure about other cities in China. The fatty (pork) texture would be horrible for Burger. The McDonald's "preserved veggies meat" bun might be bad idea. The name 梅菜 was considered unlucky (for at least Cantonese speaker) because it sounded like "rotten". But this modern day people probably didn't care.

[@KpopLover4Ever]

It definitely seemed like they tried to turn classic Chinese dishes (ie: 梅菜扣肉 and 东坡肉) into burgers lol. However I don't think the fault of the Burger King burger is because of the fattiness, since 刈包 is also a fatty pork and bun combination and those are amazing. The quality of the meat looked very suspicious (considering how Amy was bending it all the way back and it didn't even break apart, very elastic and rubber like).

[@KpopLover4Ever]

@@thomaschin9896 Menu items are decided by corporate, not the franchise owners. Plus, I hope you realize even though those are American fast food brands, but when they enter a market overseas, they cater to the local demographic. They come up with menu items and flavors that differ from the American counterpart. So it is 100% normal for the corporate/headquarters in China to come up with menu items that aren't exactly American. In fact, it's always been that way. It isn't anything new. Also, these are Chinese New Year exclusive items. It wouldn't make sense for these items to be non Chinese influenced...

[@whitneyhouston9879]

Glad to see Aleese back. Happy lunar new year.

We were literally thinking of doing a video just like this one 🤣🤣 awesome we had the same type of idea! The food at fast food restaurants are so different.

[@BlondieinChina]

You should do it!!! Was a super fun experience to try some new stuff. Usually when I eat fast food I always order the same thing haha

[@joshchung2788]

Almost all those holiday special food sounds weird even from the perspectives of a Chinese. Order food on those local special menus always comes like lottery drawing for me. BTW, the square thing in the burger you tried at BurgerKing might be stewed pork knuckle but in a chopped way I guess, which definitely destroys the good taste of its origin.

[@kevinwells5812]

What a FUN video! SO delightful. You two are adorable together.👍👍

[@user-zw4ik1bt7r]

that bk burger is "国王猪肘堡" means king's pork joint burger. actually, pork joint is very popular in china

[@chrisjohn1284]

Yes, but it doesn't look like a real pork knuckle. Looks like they tried to make a fake version by mixing different meats together, kind of like what McDonald's does for their "McRib" burger. I find both the McRib and Burger King's dish horrible.

[@WanTseLoh]

China has some of the craziest LTO foods... Every menu engineer's dream Also, egg yolks and salted egg yolks are very commonly used in Asian desserts, and pork floss is also very common on Asian baked goods. It's basically one of those sweet and savoury combinations that is accepted in Asia.

[@yulik2422]

Shrimps and Prawns are different species. It's easier to tell the difference when alive. Prawns are straighter and the crust/shell are neat pleats

Wait, hold up. You are telling me that after you've lived in China for years and you can't even guess what kind of meat that square shaped thing was in the burger? It was a pork belly!

[@Elurin]

I was thinking that it looked like some vacuumed sealed twice cooked pork, something you might find in a Chengdu convenience store, but really old stuff. Just a guess, I've only lived in China for little more than one year.

[@lilkitten545]

A lot of people are saying it's pork knuckle in the comments ^^

[@sorrybrute]

Living currently in china for 6 months and i even know what that is, they have it everywhere, Chinese people love that taste.

[@sevengaming2179]

I mean, it literally says "国王猪肘堡” on the menu...so there should be no mystery there. Surely Amy could read that? Or maybe she didn't know what "肘" was?

[@williamyfleung]

Blondie, judging from your previous video, you enjoying trying out typical Chinese food ( same as a few other Americans and Europeans I always follow ).

the thing in the BK burger is pork shoulder with skin, in case ppl can't chew it and to potion it evenly, it's chopped and recombined. Many years ago I has sth similar called German Pork Shoulder burger at BK and I promised I would never have that again. Nobody in China and Germany eat pork shoulders with burger sauce.

[@shirosflower]

aleeses vibe is amazing

[@joannazhang7465]

That's 肘子. In the north of China, we have it on table for formal, important and big meal.(not for sure if the south has a same tradition. And, it might be a part of pork rib.) It is very tasty, but Burger King doesn't handle it well.

[@georgegirraffe9900]

Great vid, great energy! Happy new year!

[@rollingdownfalling]

That was great for a change that you made a video about something bad at the eat-outs. The reason this Burger King store is bad is because they didn't throw away expired food, say, chicken were only supposed to have a shelf-life of X-amount of hour, but to save cost or simply negligence, the person might have not thrown away expired food in time. I believe McDonald's staff management are more centralised and standardized by the "taste" of it. Our local Hungry Jack's used to be good, but now the whopper looks so unappetising because there's hardly anything other than the meat patty because they are really stingy to put other things, which makes the whooper looked thin.

A large square of pork skin and fat without any lean meat? This BK burger sounds quite healthy for me! ps: that bk burger is 国王猪肘堡 as 13:00 on the screen, translated to “King's ham hock burger” The weird square should be a piece of pork knuckle, with big skin and fat chunk - as a piece of unsliced pork belly/bacon

[@J9578-u1w]

Actually animal fat is good for you. Don't eat it everytime but occasionally very good for body. It is the cheap refined vegetable oils which are actually bad which unfortunately we use everyday.

[@cochan7347]

@@J9578-u1w Animal fat is good for me and I love to cook with lard. I don't like butter that much so I use lard as a replacement of butter in any recipe. I love bacon and pork belly stew, I love ham hock - stew and roast. But it's a bad idea in general to put a big chunk of fatty meat - or meat fat - between two pieces of bread and call it a burger. That's gross and unhealthy, really.

[@jingkun72]

That pork Swiss roll seems delicious to me. As someone grew up in China, I want my cake salty and not sweet. I guess that is the reverse of Chinese food in the US. Everything is customized to please the local palette.
