[@xirogs]

[@M4rteevee]

Top tier content! They deserve lots of success

[@AsianPoshDorene]

Yes! Much better than many other channels.

you guysss 🥰

@@Goldthread true!! sso underratedd

[@BygoneChina]

Although Sichuan food is spicy, the spiciest food in fact comes from Hunan province! Hunan food uses more fresh chilli peppers than Sichuan food, which adds to the hotness!

[@leafster1337]

yeah ive heard that

[@HOTPLATEGAMING]

Yeah but Sichuan is better than Hunan

[@curiouszgalile]

I'm so happy that the illustrations features "non mainstream bodies" + this series is exceptional! Shout-out from France!

[@AsianPoshDorene]

Love learning about Chinese food and it’s origins. Keep up the great content 😃

[@kamwaichan8048]

Great, love your video. Is always good to start with showing the map so we know the location you are talking about and you have also explained the geographical location, the weather, a bit about the history. Excellent

[@rebeccajoensson]

Food connects us but so does IKEA apparently. When she takes out the peppercorns around 15.00 they were stored in the same plastic tub I have, halfway across the globe.

[@whywho8887]

WOW not only do we get the dishes but history lesson aswel. You go above and beyond. Wish I could give you more thumbs up 👍

[@Just-YOLANDA-T.C]

Love it. I am loving this series as well as the others. Bring on the next episode.

[@TanukiSC]

Awesome stuff, Clarissa! Looking forward to the next episode!

[@revolutionarycomrade]

Loving these sort-of remix vids, y’all are awesome!

[@kirstenjaguilar]

Great episode. Full of information and personality from people who are actually from the area. Learned so much and now even more curious!

[@jeannettemarts8994]

I just love watching your videos. I wanna go there and eat!! Thank you.

[@cecilia3415]

Thank you for consistently putting out such good content

[@darlouthia5153]

Fascinating!! I’d love to try those pickles 😋

[@wendellmamosog6811]

Thank you ma'am for Wonderful videos for sharing their thoughts and I learned a lot of this Chinese cuisine God Bless 😊 Niceeee

[@tims4777]

These videos are always so informative - thanks :)

I love this series so much! So well produced

[@a9udn9u]

My second home Chongqing, I love the city so much.

[@yqy8388]

Proudly being a Chongqinger 😊

[@necrotome69]

That Ann Maosuozhang girl is so cute! She should do voice-overs, she sounds so animated!

[@deejay7465]

I couldn't agree more! I don't understand a word she's speaking (w/o subtitles) but the sound of her Chinese (Mandarin?) is amazing! 🤗 p.s. Chongqing was formerly known as Chungking, right?

[@leafster1337]

i really like fish mint. both of my parents are from vietnam, and i only know that fish mint is used as a general side herb in vietnamese cuisine and idk what it’s used for specifically. my mom’s cantonese and calls it fish root in english

[@leafster1337]

but the leaf and root are different so maybe she’s lost in translation

[@Itsmysurf]

That pickle jar and process is so cool!!

[@tAiLspo0n]

That Special Spicy Sichuan Sauce! Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!

[@rock3times]

Sichuan Province usually included both Cheng du and Chong Qing, which spelled chung king in the West... At some point, the goverment splitted Chung King to be an independent city equal with provinces. Cheng du is now the capital and largest city of Sichuan.

[@QuiChiYang2]

See this is the REAL Chinese food. Not the kind we eat in America. Chefs in China are held in high regards, in ancient times cooks were part of the imperial courts. A rich culinary education can be obtained from working or going2 school there.

[@Cys62]

Ha3x... chow mien noodle anyone?

[@rhinopink646]

视频制作的很有水平 加油

[@R3586]

What's the background music @7:40? Keep feeling like I've heard it before in an actual song.

[@Teddywolf]

So What's a good pickle jar to look for?

[@xingyu1386]

The pickle jar should have that edge which seals the lid with filled water but let oxygen out - once the oxygen get too high, the air pressure inside the jar will push open the lid itself, and the lid will be sealed again once the air is released. I've tried varies of alternatives, it seems that's the only type works.

[@MotiveCap]

The content is great and love the in depth food culture! I'd only give feedback on the editing, there doesn't seem to be a shot that's held for more than five seconds and there's a lot of movement in every shot. Not saying fast paced editing isn't good, but I think it needs to slow down at certain parts, after I got about 10 min in it started to get a bit disorienting.

[@AmerzBubble]

I understand the conversations may differ based on everyone's accents. But I wish we can at least respect the names of the cities and pronounce them correctly.

[@ritazhao7102]

now i know difference between po cai and kimchi, no more debate its two different things

[@in4ser]

Food doesn't belong to any singular culture hence the popularity of fusion or adaptions like Japanese Ramen based off of Chinese La Mian. China has had historically had a large ethnic Korean diaspora and like many foods probably some of it was adapted into Chinese food much like Koreans with Western Hotdogs or Spam or Americanized Chinese Food. in the USA.

[@myyou7335]

A reupload? I think I remember this.

[@melaniescarlet01]

Kinda? I think it's a compilation per region for a TV special aired on Asian Food Network.

[@a9udn9u]

2:45 They were cheap, nowadays they are not cheap anymore due to high demand. Hot pot was cheap food invented by port workers.

not enough food videeeo

[@markcoolio1231]

Are team members like Clarissa who hold US passports able to enter China at the moment?

[@aps125]

Most likely they already shoot the video prior to the pandemic.

[@CaptainM792]

@@aps125 Obviously, the lack of masks gives it away since everyone around the world right now is facing the pandemic.

[@zraven2931]

I´m not sure, China lifted regulations in a lot of cities due to little to no cases. They obviously crack down on cases pretty harshly though.

[@ronniechew6566]

HOT HOT HOT 😋

[@ehjo4904]

Should soften her voice ! Or lower the volume !

[@ea9757]

You are so beautiful clarissa

[@aps125]

I am probably belong to the very few Chinese who dislike spicy food. When I go out with my friends I avoid Sichuan restaurant as much as I can. IMO the overly done spicy and numbing over powers the natural flavors of food ingredients. I am pretty much sure most of you would disagree. It’s alight I am going to stick with my Cantonese and Shanghainese while you enjoy your hot pot.

[@joyjoyoo]

I love spicy, numbing foods but my stomach doesn't. =/

[@kevinwang1408]

Please curl your tongue if there's an h inside chongqing or chengdu, it's getting me mad

[@zraven2931]

Ah, I am currently learning mandarin, and I thought she was speaking a regional dialect of some sort because it sounded wrong to me too

[@maestrosync]

@@zraven2931 Yeah it’s just a southern/Taiwanese accent

[@GreatKeny]

In Hong Kong or Guang Zhou everyone speaks Cantonese. In Sichuan, all speak Mandarin instead of Sichuan dialect. Sad.

[@BygoneChina]

Lots of people in Sichuan still speak the Sichuan dialect （四川话), it is just more closely related to Mandarin than Cantonese. Saying that, Sichuanese still sounds vastly different from Mandarin in the north of China.

[@Ashman792]

There’s definitely a lot of people in Chongqing who speak their native dialect instead of mandarin.

[@GreatKeny]

@@BygoneChina I meant in the video all people speak Mandarin which is sad. I know locals still speak Sichuan dialect.

[@xingyu1386]

We normally only speak sichuan dialect. But we try not to do so when we speak with non-natives. Sichuan dialect broadly belongs the mandarin family so almost everyone can speak mandarin. Ppl usually speak sichuan dialect with outsiders because they are too self-conscious about their mandarin accent or everyone involved can understand sichuan dialect.

[@rizas6904]

i love these, but I prefer if the narrator on the 2nd part talk normally, not like trying to be anime girl it sounds really weird and annoying

[@jordanlok365]

oh feels like racist over here

[@jordanlok365]

im a chinese and understand all the words she says , is very normal to see active teenagers and girls talk like this in our culture, if you feel bad about it turn off the audio , turn on the subtitle, dont brag

racist? dude.. im Chinese...... 😂😂😂
