I was worried about coming here in China…🇨🇳🥶 (FIRST TIME IN HARBIN)

We are back in China!!! In this video, we arrived in the coldest city in China...Harbin.
Harbin is the number one tourist destination in China at the moment because of the Famous Harbin Ice Festival. This has been on our bucket list ever since we found out about it. So even though the Canadian travel advisory has a warning against going to China, we flew to Harbin as soon as we got the chance. We were more at ease about being in China this time since it was our third time flying to the country. BUT many of you guys expressed your concerns and worries about us coming to Harbin with just the clothes and jackets we bought from Chongqing. And your comments also made us worried, and fear that we would not survive in Harbin. But we were just so excited being in Harbin! This city has gone viral on social media, and we wanted to check it out. Check out our first day in Harbin, China.

1. the guy didn't scamed you, the dish you pointed out on the menu was exactly they served, just that guy did not get the meaning of cabbage. 2. the hotel did not scam you, the disposable towl generally is offered in the express inn in China, and this is for people who didn't prepare their own towl or who don't wanna use the reusable towl for personal hygiene, but you have to pay for it. of course, the price will be higher than you buy it online. the disposable facial towl or shower towl are really popular in China, cuz it is easier to take for travellers since the material is lighter. if you don't wanna use it, you can just ask the reception offer you the normal towl. welcome to Harbin China.

28:27 it's not a scam. The english translation is bad, it's not cabbage. A lot of dishes have some kind of metaphor name to it rather than what it actually is (like "ants climbing the tree" or "buddha jumps the wall"). It's also not the sweetpotato dish some commentors are suggesting. It's very similar but this dish is made of fried egg with a caramel coating. It's sort of like the sweetpotato dish but it's not. And usually with these kind of dish (caramel coated dish). It's supposed to come out of the kitchen super hot with melted caramel. And you get a bowl of cold water with it. You are then supposed to pick up a piece and the melted caramel will create the spuer fine strands that looks like the one in the picture and you dip it into the cold water to cool the caramel and solidify it and not burn the inside of your mouth. But it only works for like 5 min after the dish is served to you since the caramel will otherwise cool off on it's on in the dish and you won't get the strand effect. It's kind of hard to make right to get that caramel strand effect and a lot of restaurants don't have skilled enough chefs to do it right. It might have been the case here.

Finally saw the video of Harbin, welcome you to my hometown again I'm glad you went to the right restaurant. Maomao's is a very good local restaurant. About the dish name "老式酥黄菜" -> "old style SU HUANG CAI" there is a mistranslation, which is a problem of machine translation. This is a dish fried with eggs and flour, The original meaning of this name is 酥=crisp, 黄=yellow, 菜=a dish, but the word "菜" is translated as cabbage here, so I'm sorry my friend, this is not a scam, but there is a translation error here that no one has discovered. Don't blame the waiter. He is just a working college student. He probably didn't realize that this menu would mislead customers before.

[@Chandlerbin]

你好温柔，我好爱

[@timothyqiu32]

The dish is mistranslated on the menu. "酥黄菜" was translated to "yellow cabbage" because "黄菜" own their own is a kind of brown mustard. But this food is actually literally a soft (酥) yellow (黄) dish (菜). It's also named Silk-pulling Eggs (拔丝鸡蛋). The stringy thing is syrup. Usually, you have to pull them yourself.

[@s._3560]

Yes, it is spun sugar however the chef didn't spin the caramelized sugar as in the picture. Hence the confusion. They should have taken a picture of their actual food presentation instead of a stock picture of the dish, else it confuses customers.

Fun fact: The ice cubes are special ice ‘harvested’ from the local river ‘Song Hua River’ that passes through the city. The main difference of the Harbin ice cubes from normal ice is that the Song Hua ice cubes are crystal clear. No ‘fog’ inside. That way lights embedded inside ice cubes can be reflected perfectly.

It is the same food with a big downgrading in cooking skills. But tbh, for that price, there is no way you can get what's in the picture. All the strings in that picture are sugar strings, which require quite a lot of work, a dish like that costs 138-158 yuan in higher-end restaurants. The dish you get is the basic version of Su Huang Tsai 酥黄菜, which is fried fluffed egg white(not sweet potato) with sugar coating, people dip it in a bowl of cold water to cool down the coating so it turens crispy, interesting texture. BTW, it's always called a "lady's dish" or "kid's dish" in northeast China, same as the Guo Bao Rou锅包肉.

Actually, the last dish you ordered has an inaccurate English translation on the menu. In Chinese, it's more accurately called "拔絲雞蛋," which translates to "Pulling Silk Chicken Eggs." The tall white strands in the photo are melted sugar cooled into thread-like shapes, purely decorative for visual appeal. They aren't the essence of the dish. In reality, it's fried egg pancakes coated with sugar. Your order is correct; it just lacks the decorative elements.

Today the American ambassador Burns just travelled to Harbin and posted the ice sculpture landscape of Ice and Snow World, with the text saying, “My two predecessors, Ambassador Terry Branstad and Ambassador Max Baucus, told me not to miss the ice and snow in Harbin. Big World does not disappoint. The combination of art, innovation and sheer ambition is truly impressive.”

Who cares what the ambassador to China says. What I care about is the attitude of the US government towards China. You can't let the ambassador to China express goodwill while watching the US government suppress China. It's very schizophrenic.

[@louisemann3306]

I have never heard Burns say anything nice about China before. Even he seems to be warming up to China. Hard not too.

The two dishes that you ordered, Di San Xian and GuoBaoRou, are indeed authentic Northern Manchurian favorite dishes, but they have no fans outside of Manchuria.

28:28 it is the same thing in the menu, but it's just not displayed right, all those filaments on top of the dish is actually when you pull those sugar and make the presentation, maybe this is a more down-to-earth version

Yes, Huawei makes cars, they launched its first EV last year. As everyone has pointed out, you guys were not scammed, it's just miscommunication. Really enjoying your trip report of China, can't wait to see the ice city.

28:38 It was the same thing. “Su Huang Cai 酥黄菜”. Just the chef didn’t pull his weight to do the wire-drawing, to make the appearance of the picture (for aesthetics). Besides, Huawei cars means powered by Huawei. Huawei has the best autonomous driving technology in the world, better than FSD from Tesla.

Don't worry, you can always buy new clothes in Harbin, or you may get some free clothes. Best luck.

Huawei does not make their own cars. It provides software and autonomous driving systems to Chinese car makers. But since the technological advances provided by Huawei are so huge, many people would say it is a Huawei car.

[@Stonefeather53]

Huawei makes EV's now as well by fully owned subsidiary.
