Thank you everyone for your nice comments, they really mean a lot to me. I have loved doing this series with Blondie and Blondies mum and look forward to series 2 in China. BlondieinChina has always promoted positivity and tolerance, love and friendship. It’s been a real honour to be a small part of that. And of course the food has been delicious as well!! I miss my Blondie already 🥲

we love you dad!

What a joy and privilege it has been for us all as a family to be able to share our food adventures with you all. It has an amazing experience for which I will be forever grateful ❤️

[@TheReplenishingFlame]

As an Anglo-Chinese bloke living in relatively cold, wet England, I can assure you that the joy and privilege has been mine & my family’s, and that watching you wonderful folks exploring all that fantastic looking cuisine.has helped sustain us through the last year of lockdown. You’re all amazing ambassadors for your country,. Hope I can some day check out some of those culinary delights if I ever manage to get down under. Best wishes

[@hopel2805]

This series with your parents and guests have been pure gold. I have come to love your parents and I can see where you get your adventurous spirit. Your videos always end by making me feel good and smile. I cannot wait to go back to China to visit my son, his wife, and family in the Hunan province. Thank you for these wonderful videos❤️

[@n.jadegillen7299]

I am surprised that Amy and her parents did not know about abalone. Australian abalones are highly regarded in other parts of the world. Until recently (before abalone aqua-farming), Australia, especially Tasmania, produced about 25% of world production. Recreational abalone fishing/diving is still popular in Tasmania. Today, Yumbah Aquaculture is the largest abalone producer in the Southern Hemisphere. BTW, abalone is called Paua by the Maoris in New Zealand. Paua shell jewelry is very popular in NZ.

Awwwww this has been the best series ever! I love every episode and love you and your parents!

Sad to see the last of the mum and dad series but look forward to your new adventures in China . As an Asian, I can't say enough that your videos even put us to shame as the younger generation don't eat out with their parents often nowadays (however, we do eat at home that slot), even though family piety is a big thing amongst us.

I was gonna say that 79cents for one bite of food is really expensive since Canadian dollars are at almost at a 1:1 ratio with Australian. But turns out your guy's min wage is so much higher! 😂 Ours is $14 and you guys are almost at $20 and $119 is pretty reasonable for 4 people lol. And it is so bittersweet that you guys are separating. Glad you guys will be doing your own things but sad that we won't see your parents for a while! Your parents are so cute together. They make a lovely combo. Dad's kinda silly (in the best way possible) and and mom is super refined and open minded. Love your family!

Love your videos with your family! Your mom is such a cool chick, never afraid to try anything. She's someone I'd want to be friends with. Your dad is super adorable, in looks and in personality. Proud that he went from feeling queasy about trying the "non-safe" foods to voluntarily choosing to eat chicken feet and intestines. Your sister is chill. Maybe that comes from being a vegan? (j/k). And you are awesome! Love your adventurousness, optimism, and humor. As a Chinese who moved abroad at a young age, I learned a lot about Chinese cuisine from your videos and will try some of the dishes when i visit China again. (And i learned that i can actually buy instant luosifen (something i'd always wanted to try) from the local grocery store.) Anyways, wishing you the best, and looking forward to more of your videos, including ones with your awesome family.

Fun fact, some ChuanChuan restaurants in China charged by the weight of the sticks. Cuz every stick is pretty much the same weight. And ppl could get over hundreds of sticks, it’s a easier way to bill.
