I was adopted from Fujian when I was nine months old because of the one child policy. Thank you for making this video that educated me on my blood culture :)

Filipino cuisine has influences from southern fujian cuisine via Chinese Filipinos who migrated to the Philippines from the the 1850’s - 1900’s.

[@spartanwarrior1]

Even earlier much earlier dating back to the11th or 12th century. Most chinese dishes in SE Asia has its origin in Fujian.

[@brandonyu9602]

Most chinese in the philippines are rooted back in xiamen, like my grandparents

[@gregorypetty6887]

Filipino cuisine also has influence from Japan and India. For example, Halo-Halo, Puto, and Kare-Kare, Atchara.

[@codyshi4743]

Finally Fujian, my parents’ home province. This region's amazing cuisine finally gets a chance to shine.

[@yutuberboy]

both my parents are are from fujian too BUT WE ALL DONT LIKE FUJIAN Food. we prefer cantonee and Shanghai dishes.

[@Annaxzheng]

Yesss!!! Thank you for shedding light on Fuzhou cuisine, not many know about it😊

[@dtseng69]

Thanks for the video! My dad was from Fujian. But why so negative? "honestly this was pretty good", "this is better than it looks" This food doesn't need apology!

[@J_Z666]

Ayy I’m fujianese also from nyc glad to see someone doing our food justice plus fujianese food is hella good especially the sweet sticky rice You guys should do more fujian food reviews there’s a lot of good fujianese foods out there

[@paullee3952]

Fujian has got really good food varieties . The oyster pancake in fujian is also a popular dish. Pork feet is very common as well. Fish balls comes in various size and flavour. A list of new trends of restaurants in fujian is amazing as well. Definitely underrated

[@TY-ob7fz]

A popular Fijianese breakfast treat on 8th avenue Brooklyn is deep fried oyster pancake filled with cabbage and pieces of fresh oyster. Also much like the Jewish knish is the fujianese taro wedge, looks much like French toast but is salty savory fried taro as is a potato knish. Is near the south west corner of eight ave 57th st in boro park Lucky Zhang’s. Don’t speak English and absolutely breakfast items. Also serves breakfast soup. There’s a treasure of mixed Chinese food/restaurant, bubble tea purveyors here between 53rd and 61st on 8th ave, and yeah Tiger sugar is on this strip too.

Shout out fung bros for making this vid on FJ food that I ate growing up. 🙌🏼

My family's roots, my grandparents are from Xiamen, I grew up in the Philippines but I'm now working in Beijing. Great videos, there are more than a hundred thousand of delicious Chinese dishes unknown to the world, thanks for showing these foods.

Another great video guys.!

Dear God I am slobbering. Need to book a NYC food vacay. It's been too long since the last one. You guys sure kicked up my appetite!

[@jtf267]

Thank you for this different Chinese food video. I don’t think it’s my TV but there’s a fog haze so the colors are dulled. I enjoyed it anyway. Watching your videos make it very tempting to fly out to New York or LA to feast. I feel so deprived in SF.

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

I had Fujian home cooked food in 2000s at high school. Amazing food! Underrated...

[@janetveliz2136]

Love going to Shui Mei to eat their peanut noodles and Fuzhou wonton soup

Finally Fujianese food!!!

[@alexgeorge501]

nice collection of rare finds on your trip, can't wait to see what you;ll encounter and eat next time!

Fujian is where I am from. My brother and his wife in NY sent us (in VA) some homemade FJ fishballs. We have 2 more ziplock bags of them in the freezer and we treat them like gold.

[@mar1na1993]

Love me my Shu Jiao Fuzhou! It was my go-to lunch spot when I worked in the area, and I do venture out occasionally for a visit! Yum!

[@lucwaide7131]

0:41 wait… isn’t Fujianese and Hokkien the same thing? Hokkien is just the Fujianese pronunciation of Fujian.

[@Truckingsx]

Hokkien is 客家人。fujian 福建人。different dialect

[@wesk7346]

@@Truckingsx No, Hakka is 客家。Hokkien is the Southern Min pronunciation of the word Fujian.

[@wesk7346]

I think they meant to say Fuzhounese aka Eastern Min dialect and Fujianese aka Hokkien aka Southern Min aka Taiwanese.

[@lyhthegreat]

@@Truckingsx hokkien is hakka???huh?

a lot of the fujan food is really simple and clean. That probably why a lot people can enjoy it.

[@michellelogreco3351]

Never tried this cuisine! So exciting try after this!!

[@supertrouper]

Continuing from my last comments, although eastern Manhattan's Chinatown became mostly Fuzhou populated, there are still some Cantonese residents and businesses remaining behind and in nearby affordable housing developments going deep into the Lower East Side there are a lot of Cantonese residents, but they all will often skip over coming into the more largely Cantonese concentrated western part of Manhattan's Chinatown to gather with the rest of the Cantonese residents over there for shopping and errands and social gatherings, which contributes to why the Cantonese part of Manhattan's Chinatown often has the most amount of pedestrian traffic whereas the Fuzhou part of Manhattan's Chinatown has less pedestrian traffic, which is a reflection of how the Fuzhou community in Manhattan's eastern Chinatown is not as largely heavily concentrated like Brooklyn Sunset Park's Chinatown in addition to it not being a visitor tourist attraction like how the Cantonese part of Manhattan's Chinatown is and it is also a big reflection how large the Cantonese population and community still is in Manhattan's Chinatown whereas it is much less so in Brooklyn's Sunset Park Chinatown.

[@wesk7346]

Xiamen aka Amoi speaks Min Nan aka Southern Min, which is also Taiwanese.

[@Ray-b7m]

I noticed this video is kinda faded in color (after 1:02) or is it just my device? Great video guys!

[@kwaikcheung75]

Thank you, for doing the video on Fujianese food in Chinatown NY. I missed eating fish balls and other Fujianese food. Including my mom's cooking of Fujianese food. I used to live in NY, but I live in LA now. I can't find any Fujianese food in the LA or 626 area. Is there any current Fujianese food here in LA or 626 area available? Thanks.

[@kacymah93]

I love sesame/peanut noodles 🤤

[@supertrouper]

Another problem with the Fuzhou businesses having barriers to recognition is due to the fact their community in Manhattan's Chinatown is more isolated toward the eastern side of Manhattan's Chinatown which has little visitor and tourist attention being very removed from the mainstream visitor attractions in Manhattan and they have never been able to gain the status as being part of the commercial business pedestrian center for the Chinese community as it has had a much shorter history of its full development. Whereas the western portion of Manhattan's Chinatown, which fully developed and established much earlier as the core of the Chinese community and being very mainly Cantonese populated has had a long history of being a visitor tourist attraction and they are most closest to other visitor attractions like Broadway, Soho, City Hall and etc. and as well as it has long held the status as being the business commercial pedestrian center for the Chinese community in addition to having more diverse Asian and regional Chinese cultural options as well as there is more western culture in the Cantonese products and food despite that it is a mainly Cantonese populated community that also attract the the non-Asian visitors and tourists. Because of those factors, it has often created an unequal recognition in Manhattan's Chinatown where the Cantonese community has continued to get most of the recognition in terms of restaurants, products, food and Chinese culture and so forth as they traditionally always have had when they used to be the majority of the Chinese community up until the 1990s, but whereas the Fuzhou community has received only some limited recognition since their emergence in the 1990s and 2000s, though now with gentrification going on, it also does not help.

[@ChopChopRecipes]

Wow....love the noodles and foods. Give me a lot to think about and hopefully I can also make them at home. Thanks for the story guys

[@GeorgeLouVideo]

One of the best things about your food episodes is the seemingly infinite amount of options.

[@violetviolet888]

This shines a spotlight on just how DIVERSE Chinese cuisine. It varies even from village to village.

[@babyyT]

That looks amazing!

[@loru1onlyu]

sunset park 7-8th avenue also has a lot of fj people that's where I go to for my fj food nd needs.

[@GCLU]

Went to a place called Min Jiang Mei Shi which was very tasty a while back. Unsure if it was food from there but I think so.

[@FebaTalonsRedDragons]

i remember back in the days when fung bros posted non food videos.

[@youngkog2978]

frog is delicious. It's like a juicy, tender piece of chicken.

[@rachelehrenberg9231]

My first boyfriend in the 626 ( it was still 213 at the time) was from Xiamen. I don't recall any specific Hokkien restaurants at the time ( 1980's) but he cooked amazing foods at home.

[@inthespread001]

Omg. 626 number brings back memories

[@supertrouper]

To continue from my previous comment, the Fuzhou community in Brooklyn's Sunset Park has grown to be the largest in NYC and they became the overwhelming majority of the Sunset Park Chinese community and with the original Cantonese residents and businesses that originally started the Sunset Park Chinese community dramatically declining and now very limited and diluted into the swath of the growing Fuzhou community, the Sunset Park Chinese community has had a lot more attentive recognition with the Fuzhou culture including products and food in the city. Whereas the Fuzhou community in Manhattan's Chinatown that was the first to emerge in the city is not as largely heavily concentrated like Brooklyn's Sunset Park Chinatown and mainly centered within eastern Manhattan's Chinatown and because there is still a larger Cantonese speaking population in Manhattan's Chinatown proximity than Brooklyn's Sunset Park Chinatown proximity and especially with the western part of Manhattan's Chinatown still being the main concentrated Cantonese community gathering center for all the Cantonese residents in the surrounding neighborhoods and as well as being the traditional business commercial pedestrian center for the Chinese community and being the tourist visitor attraction whereas the Fuzhou community to eastern Manhattan's Chinatown is often lacking, it has somewhat limited influential attention of Manhattan's Chinatown's Fuzhou community and the Cantonese community in Manhattan's Chinatown has continued to get most of the attention in the Chinese community like they traditionally have had when they were once the overwhelming majority of the Chinese community until the 1990s. Also gentrification resulting in the declination of Manhattan's Chinatown also does not help.

温州人在此，和福州食物放一起了。我有个老师是华人，他出身于海南，但是他说自己出身于海南岛，我跟他说我很少听过有人说海南岛，都只说海南，他说小时候海南还只是岛。但是他成长于香港。所以对中国印象也就香港人印象。我读书几年时间每次都要和他说温州是浙江，不是福建。 后面毕业回国他来上海和我们同学聚餐，然后突然和我说某个学妹是我老乡，我一愣问她是温州的浙江的？ 结果那个学妹是福建厦门的。

Great food. Had some friends from Malaysia who were Hokkien that always prepared this type of cuisine whenever we gathered on big occasions. We grew up on Cantonese and Kaiping/Taishan cooking so having the Fujian eats was a real treat.

It seems that Chinese people, as well as Vietnamese people, sure like to eat a lot of pork. There cuisine is not seafood based like Japanese and Filipino cuisine is.

Japan and Philippines are both island nations, that's why they eat so much seafood. Chinese provinces near the coast eat lots of seafood but yeah, pork is the most consumed meat.
