Western media will jump on anything negative about China, even if it's taken out of context or out of ignorance. Fortunately with so many athletes posting the truth their options are getting more and more limited

Great video and wonderful senses of humor..... Leaving the narrow-minded western reporters in the dust on their snacks review.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Firstly, the robot part of the food court is incredible and definitely one-ups Tokyo Secondly, exactly! There are Western athletes who love the food. So those who say the food is bad just have a different palate when it comes to cravings. One of the things parents teach their kids is to try new things. Well, if you give cuisines a chance and warm up to it, you might just enjoy it too

[@davepsk7334]

You are absolutely right. Sometimes you have to be brave enough to try it. Then you'll know if you like it. I used to shun blue cheese till an overseas friend brought me blue cheese and forced me to try it. Today I'm hooked. But unfortunately I moved to asia and he moved to Russia. No blue cheese mate.

Thanks a lot Angelique. Hope you enjoy my previous travel videos. Lots of food from all over China. Let me know what you think.

[@ironguanyin123]

I don’t think it’s superiority, it’s more fear based I think. Most western food you can tell what it is, but most Asian food you can’t always tell what it is straightaway and there it creates a fear of the unknown. Would it taste horrible? Is it going to kill me? What’s in it? They’ve never seen it before and they are not always adventurous enough to try things, just like some Chinese people don’t like Western cuisine. It’s difficult making that first step, especially the slightly older generation. Sometimes if they just allowed themselves to be a bit more brave and open minded, they may find things they really like, like Stuart’s parents. : )

In Thailand, they fry quail eggs in a takoyaki pan and serve with soy sauce as a street snack! It is also delicious and additive. You should try it if you visit Thailand! Totally agree about the culture differences in food.. When we first arrived in China, we also found ourselves having a bit of the food 'culture shock' but when we really gave it a try we end up loving them!!!

[@calitaco]

I was in Thailand a few years ago and came across a dish called Mango Sticky Rice. I thought why on earth would anyone eat mango with rice? Like you, I gave it a try. It winded up being my favorite dessert dish in Thailand!🤣 I even tried to make it when I got back home in the US. Came close, but not the same.

Thanks Xi Shen. Hope you like my other videos too. Take care.

[@WalkOverHotCoal]

An ex-work mate told me of his experience in Malaysia in his early teens. His father was part of the British Empire defence force based in Penang. My friend regularly found himself eating street foods dotted along the main street. Curry, fried rice, fried noodles, Indian curry puffs, Malay Sambal with coconut rice, etc. For a mere 30 cents, yes, then could buy you a meal. Paradoxically, his mother warned him repeatedly not to eat foods from the street hawkers for fearing that he could suffer from food poisoning. She was doing that despite the fact that her family had live in Penang for at least 10 years. This really highlighted the distrust of Westerners on Asian foods. Perhaps there could be some degree of superiority complex in the mix too. I believe that it does require some degree of adventurism to try a foreign food. To reject it outright demonstrate one's lack of sophistication, and respect for others.

[@wfireC]

Well, I would not try anything cooked with insects or semi-formed baby animals or birds no matter how delicious they are!

[@wfireC]

And I am talking about some food served in my own culture.

[@WalkOverHotCoal]

@@wfireC I can go along with insects. In fact, grasshoppers are delicious deep fried. However, I wouldn't go near those disgusting bird eggs with half formed foetus. It is OK to be honest as long as it is not condescending.

[@wfireC]

@@WalkOverHotCoal I cannot go near my hometown favorite, silkworm! I don't think I can even handle its deep fried form even though it's probably very good. I just don't like bugs.

[@WalkOverHotCoal]

@@wfireC You got me all fired up, in the curiosity department. I reckon humans aren't too different to many wild animals in obscured tastes. The Romans fermented raw fish guts for at least 6 months to extract fish sauce from the rotting mess. The Vietnamese also have fish sauce made from rotting anchovies. The Chinese have rotting Tofu. The Inuits in Greenland has the Kiviak which is made of hundreds of dead birds stuff into a dead seal. The rotting mess is placed under a rock for 6 months. The Europeans have rotting cheese "processed" by live maggots for a period. Apparently the maggots do wonders to the flavour of the cheese. It is OK is be crazy with food, as long as you don't look down on other people's peculiar tastes or choice.

Chinese people rarely eat preserved eggs directly, but add soy sauce, green onions, chili peppers, slice them, and eat them with porridge or with rice. In ancient China, the preservation of eggs was not easy, so various methods of marinating were used to extend the shelf life of eggs and increase various ways of eating. On the other hand, European countries do not have egg-preserved dishes, but like China, there are traditional foods such as ham and sausages that preserve pork to prevent meat from spoiling.

My recipe for Century Egg: press it with a spoon to break it up into smaller pieces. Then add slightly smashed soft tofu, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and slightly flavoured chilly oil (optional) and it tastes terrific. Eat with rice or by itself. Some would sprinkle with bonito flakes or diced green onion on the top when served.

[@TravelinChina]

Sounds good

[@rsliu4646]

Forgot the most important ingredient: soft tofu. Same thing. Press soft tofu down (roughly 1.5-2X size of the egg) with a spoon and mix it with the egg and sauces. That's what makes the Century Egg taste terrific to me.

[@user-er1gy9tm5o]

@@TravelinChina 他說的是我們台灣常見的小菜（皮蛋豆腐）。 皮蛋切成2半放在嫩豆腐上面、灑一些柴魚片、蔥花、淋上一些醬油膏或蠔油就好了。 吃的時候用湯匙切一點皮蛋、一點豆腐和著醬油膏柴魚片蔥花一起吃。 一般我們拿來配稀飯吃或下酒菜，你可以自己在家試著做來吃吃看、很簡單的！ 希望這種皮蛋豆腐的吃法能讓你愛上皮蛋。

[@rsliu4646]

Just wanted to add that a recipe I recently came across on Century Egg that is extremely yummy is a Hunan Cuisine (擂辣椒) - Smashed chilli pepper with Century Eggs (optional with eggplant) . A variation and a much easier version is just replace chilli pepper (mashed) with bell pepper (pan-seared).

[@Zerpentsa6598]

Even among westerners, reaction to western foods differ. Some westerners love cheeses, while others loathe them. Some like jellied eels, others retch at the sight of them. China has a very diverse cuisine, from lamb kebabs and stomach from Xinjiang to braised sea cucumbers in Fujian. Not everything will appeal even to Chinese people of all ethnicities. There's no need to be disrespectful of other people's tastes as long as it's not downright obscene and evil (like eating brain of a live monkey so beloved by colonial types in Hong Kong).
