What's your favorite Chinese dish or cuisine?

[@RonaldMcPaul]

Are there any 菜 that are just pure 肉? I'm a carnivore 💪

[@Wizamatox]

My favourite Chinese dish is 锅包肉 (guo bao rou) to which I was introduced during my first visit to Harbin (during summer a few years ago). I will be going back in December/January for six weeks so I will be most curious to see what is different.

[@vaniar.1583]

酸菜鱼，微辣。

[@alltheway3]

Cantonese food! But I’m bias that way.

[@slamdunk406]

四川菜

[@12345shipreck]

I stopped learning chinese when you stopped the chinesepod videos... you are a great teacher

[@slamdunk406]

I was wondering where Fiona, Constance, and Gwilym went! Just subscribed! 我很兴奋 ! 👍😀

[@kaceyolivercox]

me too. subscribed

[@slamdunk406]

Kacey Cox This is a solid channel.

[@GradyGillis]

Could you please expand on each of the types? I think it would help to keep them sorted.

[@frankojudoka]

My father is from Fujian, my mother is from Guangdong so naturally I grew up with the combination of these two types of food. Dim sum and sticky rice are favorites of mine.

[@goukux5908]

And for the first time I’m actually wishing Iona was also in the video. This video covered more than I can learn in one watching. Maybe you can make it into 8 videoed covering each style and 3 or 4 dishes from each style. That would probably be useful in decoding menus as well since food names often have nothing to do with the food the represent.

[@alltheway3]

ira handler I don’t think you’re meant to remember all the types, it’s just introducing you. I’m sure most Taiwanese and Chinese people couldn’t even list the 8 types from the top of their head.

[@hamburglar83]

So my favorite cuisine is not even a major cuisine. Xian….Biang biang noodles are my favorite.

[@allenm4349]

Hello Fiona, 你好。 請問， 你覺得新疆菜是中餐嗎？ Or do some people consider it be Chinese cuisine? Just curious. Thanks! Love your videos. My favorite, probably 鲁菜 (Lǔcài), but I probably wouldn't say no to very many Chinese dishes.

[@emperoroak7331]

Shes too lovely

[@laoziagainstthemachine5323]

I wanna write a book:"I will marry Fiona Tian" (You're so... so Fiona Tian)

[@irisxie7210]

Thank you for the video. I need to introduce Chinese food to my friend tomorrow.

[@laoziagainstthemachine5323]

How do you say SALAMI? 莎乐美肠 or 萨拉米?

[@kokolexx]

Wow this is a really great information.

[@tsewangrangdol1910]

You are really looking so beautiful

[@eloo64]

Do European countries have a favorite style Chinese cuisine. When the Spanish took over the old neighborhood seemed like Hunan went out of style. Don't know what style replaced it

[@angelalu5260]

TIL! Thanks Skritter!

[@PeteR-gn5ep]

how can you forget about Guizhou food?

[@SkritterHQ]

So much good food to mention. Maybe a future video?!

[@engchoontan8483]

To those who are confused about cuisines and cultures, first and foremost is health. Chinese cater to their health and change their diets according to climate of the region-province and seasons. If a region is hot and dry, they will most likely be eating spicy and sweet foods like some type of indian cuisines. Those who like to attack chinese and chinese lifestyle choices have to learn a lot to avoid making a fool of themselves when they go out of their way to disparage chinese. Start with basic types of indian cuisines before progressing to chinese. If someone claim his cuisine is better, chinese should smile and make him walk the-talk(his own words for himself only) and stick with his own cuisine. Chinese have choices and do not need-want your agreement-accredition-business-validation.

[@cyb-m]

what about Hakka chinese cuisine?

[@lolaowolabi845]

Wow 🤩

[@richas221]

What is the cuisine from north west China known as?

[@KJ-yises]

They are not recognised. Totally traditional bias.

[@nurafiqahmohdadnan6534]

I'm from Malaysia!😅

[@Uzbek_Yigitiman]

Merry me baby:)
