Black girl tries Hong Kong HOTPOT (Cantonese w/ eng sub)

[@TheOrthodoxMoor]

I'm so glad you make videos about Cantonese. Everyone else does Mandarin and the other languages of China don't get highlighted for the people in the west.

[@wayquick4557]

Cos mandarin is ‘official’ lang

[@DragonDreamVNY]

@@wayquick4557 only one vote away from Cantonese being made the official language 100 years ago 😘 It'd be great to be able to speak all languages and dialects.

[@Gigi-sn1jb]

@@wayquick4557 so people who pay efforts to learn Cantonese deserve much more respect 🙌🏼

[@_Wai_Wai_]

The fact that there are non Chinese who are aware of the other "Chinese" languages.

[@galaxcsy]

Holy crap, as an HK local your level of Cantonese is a shit tonne better than some of my friends who have lived here for decades. Really really really impressive, seeing as Cantonese is actually pretty hard to learn... Keep up the cool videos!!

[@stawfsc6041]

The tone is so accurate too which is very impressive for non native speakers

[@jt4369]

Seriously. She's making this ABC (Cantonese speaking household growing up) really embarassed. Her tone control is really noteworthy. When I first heard her, I said to myself "She self-taught?? No way."

[@ellisckymu]

The passion you got to learn this soon "Lost" language impressed me a lot 加油，你好叻，我地香港人都好佩服你。我希望第時好多人都鐘意學廣東話。

[@pg_on_99]

我係台灣人 我都鍾意學廣東話㗎 不過Grace真係好叻

[@nelic2111]

I think for there to be more Cantonese learners, HK/Cantonese-language media would need to have something that would grab people from other countries' attention. Like their own equivalent of KPop or anime.

[@robrosy]

This is so wholesome.. I love the fact that people from different cultures can truly come together and enjoy each other’s food. Maybe we should have a video of Ayuk coming to Grace’s home for some homely food?

[@micah385]

DUDDEE!! You can speak Cantonese so well. It's honestly amazing especially because not a lot of people choose Cantonese over Mandarin . You're awesome!

[@jennychang2200]

I didn’t expect I can hear such a beautiful and fluent Cantonese! Really impressed by you

[@IamLegend32]

I'm an Asian American. With all the tension here with Blacks and Asians, it's so beautiful and touching to watch your videos. We need more videos like this. I don't think you realize how powerful this is. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@RitsukoKotoha]

Your Cantonese has improved a lot since your first Cantonese video! Not only do you know a lot of words, your tone and way you speak is just so close to a native speaker. When you speak to your hk friend she's speaking at normal speed and using everyday native words and you had no problems understanding her. Good Job! A level 加油!

[@jrmint2]

Your Cantonese is amazing. I’m born in Hong Kong, moved to Canada as a baby decades ago. And I can’t even speak half as well as you! You are impressive!

[@fluffyclouds555]

What a beautiful relationship that is stemming from language learning. Grace, you are incredible and your open mindedness and intellect will take you far.

[@_Wai_Wai_]

This is so cute. I'm glad you girls found each other .

[@li_tsz_fung]

我食響鈴一定係兩秒左右，要keep少少脆。同埋其他真係煮嗰d，一定係係咁夾落碗攤凍。 I like my soybean roll a bit more crispy so I just soak it for about 2 seconds. And every thing else, I take a bunch to my bowl and wait for a bit, so I can eat a lot at once after they get less hot

[@sikshingkwong4404]

豉油熟油。 正

[@eddywong.]

Your Cantonese has grown so much, wow. Your friend is a fast talker and I am impressed with how you can follow along. Grace got game. Dam even your name sounds canto. Grace, Gracie. Mad mad respect.

[@lovegodmyself]

Everyone just wants to have a great and talented friend just like Grace! Your friends are so lucky!

[@maggiec.757]

I'm so glad you like hotpot. It's so delicious and nutritious. You basically can cook anything you like in a hotpot. Thank you for sharing this video! Loved it!

[@crayoncrayoncrayon]

So much fun to watch, especially because I love dah bin low! Really happy to see you got to try it, and hope you have a 2nd go at it to try more things! Your Cantonese tones and accents are so precise, you make an effort to pronounce each word so accurately, very well done!

[@staceytsang1317]

I was thinking if you would think everyone gets their chopsticks in the same pot is unacceptable to you. I am happy to know you enjoy the hotpot. It's great to enjoy hotpot with family and friends in the cold wintertime. You are so talented and I am sure you will be fine in your A-level exam. 加油!

[@hotricky1976]

I ant help but smile and feel so proud of you for being able to speak and promoting our mother language so well. Good luck on your A level you are gonna do well but stress out yourself.

[@danieldavid4820]

You're really inspiring me to learn Cantonese!

[@SmexyYellowAsian]

Love love love your channel right now, keep it up! So glad to see you open to trying new foods and enjoying them. Good luck with your A levels!

[@karensuen7775]

I’m Cantonese and I speak Cantonese and your Cantonese is so much better than mine. Props to you and good luck on your A Levels! And you should try taro with hotpot next time!

[@idrisatardis5553]

Hotpot has always been my favourite since I was kid. It was basically an obsession lol I’ve recently moved from Hong Kong to the UK. I can still make hotpot here, with a bit more effort and less fresh ingredients, please but what I miss the most is having hotpot with my friends. Gosh, I’m tearing up writing this. Your effort to learn Cantonese is much appreciated. Not only are you fluent, but you can understand your friends really well even when they are speaking very casually and at a normal pace (usually in language classrooms, they use a slower pace). So glad that you have friends to enjoy hotpot with. Love your enthusiasm and your willingness to try new things 💛🧡 It’s great that you listen to Cantopop. I love Mirror too (Keung To is my fav.). You were dancing along Anson Lo. Anson Lo has quite a fast growing fan base in the UK. You should probably try going to their fans meeting some time. You are kind of in luck learning the language through cultural stuff, I think there’s a kind of cultural and artistic renaissance going on in HK right now ❤️‍🔥

[@porkscratchings5428]

Amazing Cantonese spoken by you Grace, really great to hear. You have corrected a word I never knew that I’ve been saying for decades incorrectly. I’d alway say it was ‘Da beano’ not ‘Da beanlo’. Glad you enjoyed the food. Keep going with your friends, they all seem lovely and you’ll really increasing your vocabulary with them.👍

[@Guresu]

I’m pretty sure that both ways are correct! ‘Binlo’ is just lazy tongue haha so ‘Binno’ is actually more correct I would say!

[@hohoho._.]

Let's try to cook the fried bean curd stick for 3 seconds next time, so that you can enjoy both juicy & crispy texture. Btw, there is a song call 趣緻的響鈴 by Serrini hahaa

[@CharlizeRed]

The song is exactly what popped up in my mind. Grace please listen to it!!!

[@crayoncrayoncrayon]

Agree, cook the herng ling more swiftly so that it's still a bit crispy, you may enjoy this too!

[@MikePapaFiver]

Wow your Cantonese has improve so much. You sound like a native speaker now. It has been a while since i last saw your videos, and I’m pleasantly surprised how much you have improved on your Cantonese. Well done keep it up 😃👍

[@yeshunee]

Whats beautiful about learning languages you have acquired to learn is seeing how you break thru to others in other culture, they open up ☺️💚

[@6shinkirou9]

Ayuk is the ultimate tour guide to HK culture! Glad you were able to try hot pot Grace. Good luck on your A levels!

[@proudasiangirl576]

Grace, I agree with H Chan below. There should be an assortment of dipping sauces (from soy sauce, to chili oil to peanut sauce, etc.) and you dip your own portion of food into your own concoction of dipping sauces that you've custom made for yourself. Also yes, there should be small ladles for you to scoop out your own food out of the pot. As the hot pot is communal, you shouldn't be putting your own chopsticks in the pot since it's touched the saliva in your mouth. But this is not your fault, the girls didn't teach you right. Come to the U.S. and look me up. I will be happy to show you around. San Francisco has 4 Chinatowns. We can do da bin lo!

[@MonikoC]

I love this video soooo much! Taking friends out for their first ever hot pot is always so thrilling and Ayuk is right, every one does it differently! There's so many more things you can try in hot pot - I'm excited for you to experience Canto culture! Lastly, good luck on your A levels!!! 加油!

[@melodypoon]

Your Cantonese is real good, really appreciated for you to learn Cantonese while a lot of people in the West will just learn Mandarin as they think our mother tongue is Mandarin too in Hong Kong though it is not. And not sure if Ayuk taught you another HK style English "Add oil" which means keep it up!

[@socarken]

Guresu你是個很聰明的少女，只要對自己有信心你必然成功，因為Guresu你是最好的，我和很多香港人也十分愛你！加油~

[@YUKICHU1023]

Thank you!!

[@MrsArchenemy]

Wow! Very impressive! How did you speak 💯 Hong Kong accent Cantonese and super fluent!! Super! Xoxo

[@banana_affo2637]

im from hong kong! ive learnt about you and your channel from a newspaper article, and I really think you speak fluent cantonese! luv ur vids!

[@CakexxCupxx]

I love that your friends are helping you gain exposure to different types of food 🥺

[@hokyant]

So nice to see you enjoy hotpot! We Hong Kongers eat loads of beef in hotpot! Of course 響鈴 (fried bean curd sticks) is also popular! We put udon or instant noodles in the hotpot at last because noodles absorbs the soup that makes noodles really tasty! BTW good luck for your exams and we all know you would make it! 加油!

[@evelyn1805]

This is so inspiring. I grew up in a Cantonese family but we always had a strained relationship so I never spoke much to my parents and my language skills are lacking. I love how you have two great friends to teach you the language and culture. Subscribed so I can learn more about my roots from you :D 对于你的学习，努力加油！

[@evelyn1805]

Oh gosh is it 关于 or 对于 in this sentence, I dunno hahaha

[@Guresu]

Thank you for watching Evelyn! I think 对于 is better here, but I’m not 100% sure myself! Let’s 加油 together!

[@socarken]

Guresu, you are a very smart girl. As long as you have confidence in yourself, you will succeed, because Guresu you are the best, and I and many Hong Kong people love you very much! Come on~

[@TwinklebotsCantonese]

Yum! We love a good hotpot! In our home, the amount of dipping sauces is on par with the amount of ingredients for the hotpot. 🤣

[@michaelchan4218]

Wow. Your cantonese is really good. Keep it up. It comes across really natural.

[@malihk97]

香港 Hotpot 打邊爐 烚吓烚吓 (this colloquial phrase can also mean 儍吓儍吓 dumb dumb) 🤣 Nothing is better to have hotpot with your friends and family ❤️ I'm also having hotpot tonight -- salmon head theme (you can have hotpot with any and everything, or with a main theme plus a bit of other things). So, basically, anything you might want to eat 🤣 Grace, 加油！Best of luck with your open exam and university choice 🙏

[@hchan3860]

As an elderly Cantonese born and bred in Hong Kong, I would like to make a few "corrections" to your two young HK friends' introduction to Da Bin Lo (hot pot) culture. 1. We only do the Da Bin Lo in Winter. Not all year round in an air conditioned room. First, we didn't have the luxury of air conditioning. Second, Bin Lo ( 打邊爐) means you sit and eat by the "heat source", and the food is considered "heaty" (熱氣), gives you pimples and oral ulcers sort of after effect. 2. We use small ladles to scoop or fish out the food from the soup pot when they are ready to eat, and we always have 2 pairs of chopsticks per person, one pair for uncooked food, one pair for cooked food. 3. The fried bean curd (響鈴) is not HK style bean curd, it came from Taiwan. Traditional is plain white cubed bean curd. I tried it recently, it soaks up the soup making it very tasty. 4. Meat commonly used in Da Bin Lo are thinly sliced beef and butterflied (cutting style) river fish (陵魚). 5. 白蘿蔔 is white turnip, not mooli. 6. We don't flavour the soup, dipping sauce is used just before we eat. Most common flavourings are soy sauce, satay sauce and chili paste, on the side. HK Da Bin Lo has evolved due to influence from mainland China and restaurant variations to attract customers. Grace, best of luck in your upcoming A Levels studies and examination. Hope one day you have a holiday in Australia and I will show you what a traditional HK Cantonese style Hot Pot or Da Bin Lo would be served at home.

[@papercutpostman1660]

Your Cantonese is spot on!

[@selma7836]

This food looks so delicious 🤤 also good luck on A levels you got this♥️♥️

[@arsenal_84]

[@SparklerMs]

I'm glad you got to try hotpot, I absolutely love to eat it as well but it's usually only a special treat in my family. We eat everything that you had in this video too but we don't eat intestines haha. The dipping sauces are also important, what did you have? Some people like peanut butter mixed with sesame oil, some have soy sauce, sesame oil with spring onions. There's lots of different combinations of sauces you can have and everyone usually makes them to their own taste!

[@Guresu]

I have soy sauce and chilli oil!

[@SparklerMs]

@@Guresu nice, a must have! 🙂 If you ever want to try out a hotpot restaurant experience, haidilao is a famous one and known for its great customer service.

[@jennxtsui]

Your canto is incredible! I enjoyed watching your video and practicing canto.

[@henrysouth645]

Hi Grace, glad you like hotpot, it is so Hong Kong style I can tell you. Some people might buy a lot of beef, some might buy intestine as Ar Yuk said. Or some dumplings as well.

[@유지연-b6s]

your tones got so much better! keep up the good work!

[@chloechm]

[@wesleysuen4140]

You’ll be doing fine in A Level, Grace!! haha… more about hotpot: sliced fatty beef (cook it just right - starting to be not raw; never well-cooked)… cooking seafood… oh, mixing the sauce in your own bowl with lots of sauces and ingredients (soy sauce, hot sauces, sliced garlic, and lots more… and perhaps an raw egg?) and special drinks to increase your appetite + help digestion of hot & fatty food in hotpot… …i hope you can try more in the future…🤤 (show us how to cook the shrimp paste next time, it’s kinda weird, isn’t it?)

打邊爐的確好開心，不過記得要用「公筷」落爐會衛生點。就算我同我好朋友同屋企人食嘢，大家都係會用公筷，尤其係打邊爐呢啲接近「洗筷子」嘅活動，所以近年我都少咗打邊爐了，因為喺香港都未必個個朋友同事有呢個sense 。英國或許更carefree…?
