MY SYDNEY CHINATOWN REVIEW!

In my opinion, Sydney Chinatown is the best Chinatown in the world (and as a Sydneysider, I guess I'm not at all biased ;P ). But seriously, who can say no to amazing authentic Chinese food, with some of the best, freshest ingredients in the world. Sydney Chinatown is the bomb.com , and if you're in Sydney, you should check it out!

[@CuriousRaccoons]

Since discovering your channel, I've binge watched every single one of your videos! The editing is beautiful, each and every video is so genuinely educational, fun and interesting and I'd highly recommend this to all my fellow Mandarin students from all over the world :) Lots of support from Serbia, Amy!

[@BlondieinChina]

OMG!!! Thank you SO much, you made my day!! Thank you for your support! And hope you continue to like my videos in the future! Have a great day 么么哒！

Twenty years ago, when I first came to New Zealand, my homestay mum was wondering why I always cooked for her rather than stayed enjoying her kiwi foods. I talked her that I was kinda Cantonese eatie. I could eat all four leg things except the table, and I could all two leg things except the people. 😄 From then on, she always joked with me, “Don’t look at my tiger!” Tiger 🐯 was our beloved ginger cat🐈 .

[@jianwen5760321]

Melbourne is also amazing with food choices. The Chinese are authentic. I heard one could also find authentic Vietnamese, Italian, Middle eastern, Indian etc. Ramen is just as good as in Japan. And we have Minamishima which I believe is as good a Japanese fine dining experience anywhere in the world (including Japan).

[@omaronnyoutube]

You could also find Malaysian restaurants, and one of them is famous "Mamak". Mamak is supposed to be one of the best Malaysian restaurants in Sydney. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aamZkp-uodZloNU

I believe fish maw is the air bladder that helps the fish stay submerged or float as it wishes, not its stomach.

[@spectatorw6513]

I Living in America ，jealous you guys had delicious authentic china food😋

[@hfl923]

Love your video! Just one thing though: the so-called "fish stomach" is a mere literal translation of the Chinese 鱼肚。It's actually the 'swim bladder' of the fish rather than its stomach and it's quite prized. Especially by ladies because it's apparently good for your skin. *Flies away*

[@Arteta423]

There are a lot of very authentic Chinese food in cities near Los Angeles, like San Gabriel, Monterey Park. (Actually, you can see Chinese words everywhere in those cities.) If you have a chance to come to LA in the future, maybe you can make a video and compare Chinatowns all over the world, and I believe you will rank the ones near LA to be the best.

[@BlondieinChina]

Yeah!!! I would LOVE to do that! I've been to SF chinatown before but never LA chinatown. How does LA chinatown compare to SF? Also big?

[@Arteta423]

@@BlondieinChina I'd love to say it is much bigger, because there are so many Asian people in Southern California. The Chinatown in LA city is not good, because it is so old. However, in the past few decades, a lot of new immigrants from China moved to cities near LA. In several cities to the east of LA city, the Asian population is at least 50%. In those cities, you can see Chinese words and Chinese restaurants everywhere. When Chinese people in LA talk about Chinatown, we mean the new Chinese places near LA, but not the one in the city of LA.

I guess no matter where they're, fish bladder is always refers as the fish stomach. It is actually the fish swim bladder. The one that help fish to float. In term of evolution theory, that part is what eventually became land animal's lung.

They have this thing called Shanghai style spring onion oil noodles i haven't found anywhere else which is so addictive haha. There are so many dumpling places here...Shandong Mama, Hutong...Shanghai Street is popular but not the best imo. I took my friend to Din Tai Fung, it has this truffle oil fried rice which I swear is the best I've ever had haha. Of course many Sichuan, some Shaanxi, even northeastern, along with the usual Cantonese. There's a few really good Uyghur/Xinjiang places too. So good.

Fish maw is not stomach. You have to make a correction here. It is air bladder en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swim_bladder Dried Raw fish maw is fine but the tastest one is not that. Put it in hot oil to deep fry or put it in hot sand or hot salt.it will become bigger. put it in broth cook together. fish maw can absorb broth like a sponge. the fish maw becomes juicy and tasty.
