Multi-Regional CHINESE FOOD TOUR at Night - Cantonese, Shanxi, Sichuan & Ningbo | Shanghai, China

When I traveled to China for the second time in four years in April of 2019, all of the memories I made with my dad during our 2015 trip to the country came rushing back to me. The sights, the smells, and definitely the flavors. Together, those three, along with the rich history and culture, make China a must-visit destination for all travelers. I’m so excited to share my Chinese adventures with you!

After roughly 24 full hours in Shanghai, my first full day in the city continued into the night with an incredible multi-regional Chinese food tour with my new friend Li from UnTour Food Tours. They do really intimate tours in Shanghai and Beijing, so check them out when you visit!
We started with a Chinese version of a pulled pork sandwich. It’s made with a crispy bread and pork belly, pork fat, and pork skin. It was like a pork bun in sandwich form. It was sweet and savory and both crispy and soft. I loved the five layers and how juicy and tender it was! There are also lamb and beef versions!
Then we headed to a Hong Kong-style café. It’s Cantonese food, which is very different from Mandarin. This place had lots of neon lights and had a diner-like feel. The food has a British feel to it because Hong Kong was ruled by the British.
We started with some locally-brewed rice wine and a draft beer. We also got a pineapple bun with no pineapple, beef rice noodles, roasted pork and duck, and yellow mustard and plum sauce. The rice wine was like a plum-like sake!
The pork belly with yellow mustard was fatty, crispy, and juicy. The duck had nice skin and a great glaze. It was also super fatty and tender! I loved the beef noodles with sprouts and onions, which had a nice sauce. Next was the pineapple bread, which didn’t contain pineapple, but had butter in it. It was sweet with a layer of sugar on top and there was a nice layer of butter in the middle!
After a few more glasses of rice wine, we headed out and grabbed some Ningbo food. We got some Chinese moonshine, called sunshine! It was called the “Strong Aroma.” It definitely had a strong smell. It was super strong, but I wanted more!
Next was the Tsingtao white beer, which I liked it a lot. It almost tasted like bubblegum!
Then we got two dishes: a crispy bamboo that was moist in the center, and fish with seaweed. I loved the seaweed. It was crispy and salty and melted in my mouth. You need to chew it well so you don’t get any bones stuck in your throat!
Next was sticky rice cake with a type of vegetable and bamboo shoots. I’d never had it before, but it was a nice mixture! Then was more super strong alcohol before we headed back out!
Next was a Sichuan spot. I could smell the pepper before I got there. We started with the rabbit head. You have to pull the jaws apart. It still contains the eyes and the brains!
You wear gloves to eat it. I broke the jaw and went with the tongue first. It was crunchy and a little spicy. Then I went for the cheeks. It was so good! It numbs your lips and tongue. The eyes were an explosion of flavor. It was almost like eating wings. This was real spice!
Beer was next, followed by Sichuan wontons and dry noodle with peanuts, pickled vegetables, and minced pork. The wontons contained some spice but wasn’t too spicy. I could feel the heat on my lips and reminded me of the dry ramen I’d had in Japan.
Then was green powder, which is a spice that’s found in Sichuan food. It’s fragrant, and then you take a pinch and put it in your mouth. It’s called the numbing spice. It made my tongue and lips go numb!
Finally, we went to a Shanxi-style diner. We got Chinese asparagus lettuce, which is crunchy and refreshing. Then was the xiaolongbao, a type of soup dumpling. There’s hot soup inside. Li taught me how to eat it without burning my mouth. I slurped the soup and dipped it in the vinegar. It was fantastic! I finished up with the butter fried pastry, which was sweet and crispy and very buttery!
What a diverse food tour! I hope you enjoyed coming along on my multi-regional UnTour Food Tour in Shanghai! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. Subscribe to my channel!

Tipsy? He was so fcuking drunk he became painful and embarrassing to watch! I do love his videos though and learn so much. Just lay off too much booze, ok? Thanks for sharing!

[@arjunmangadan]

😍

[@minniec.9127]

Thank God you finally got a reliable food guide to explain and introduce regional Chinese food to you. On yr own, yr effort was appreciated but failing miserably, not knowing what or how to eat. sorry but just being honest. Li is an excellent food guide with extensive food knowledge, knows the culture and proficient in Mandarin and English. Also, very charming.

[@bhargabdutta4920]

David's real smile is coming after 3 pags of rice wine

[@2075vj]

Was I the only one who thought he was going to say butt with that Szechuan powder? Lol

[@kwyuiii]

So much food!! you ate all in a night?

[@kellymichelsen2003]

Those cute little glasses look dangerous 😂

[@user-pn7ni6cc6q]

Haha, you are drunk, but that’s ok, you are soo happy, that is enough. Just enjoy! BTW, you have a great guide!

[@paromitabasu9292]

How many did u down @davidsbeenhere . It was fun watching u tipsy Blogging . The guide was superlative . Great funny vlog !

[@AussieAngeS]

Omg pineapple bread 😍 the butter in that would be awesome, omg so dangerous around me 🙈😩. The food looks amazing David, especially the noodle dishes, love your uploads.

[@tokuryuren5491]

you r handsom especially in eating Chinese

[@ZLL668]

How could you stay so fit?

[@user-jp1jm7is5f]

ahahahah drink in china is so funny !!!!

[@aquariuscaesar2858]

David, when you get back to America, you should meet Mike Chan and make a collab video about Chinese foods. That'll be epic. Mike will make you know more about traditional Chinese cuisine and how to eat them perfectly.

[@winter0317]

喝高了…

[@levioparisvlogs1200]

My Bro is Kinda drunk haha But its Ok Coz im too watching you eat that way Man im getting at mid night 🤣

[@hp.ending6681]

10:34 感觉这个向导穿汉服一定很帅👍

[@elainerivera4121]

David looks wasted in this video.... LOL

[@xiaohuali7314]

David has difficulty understanding that pork belly is called "5 layered meat" in Chinese. 5 layers is not referring to the bun.

[@tarungautam9245]

Man you was boozed out after the very first place , hahaha ;)

[@tomjerry4774]

🍾🍷🍶

[@iceberg789]

how come these guys are walking straight after consuming so much hard liquor in such short amount of time ? 😮

[@williamwu9546]

Hey David, Im a local native Shanghainese and I speak perfect English. Love all of your videos and could you consider to spend a night with me next time when you visit Shanghai? (all about food ofcourse, Im not gay)

[@katkrist6409]

Oh my God, David, were you drunk on that day? lol

[@surojitpal1988]

17:00 Rip Vegan Sentiment... Long live Meat eaters, NonVeg for life
