Surviving Sichuan - 500 Hours of SPICY Street Food in Szechuan, China (Full Documentary)

My new blog: travelsecurely.com
Today, I'm (Trevor James, The Food Ranger) surviving for 500 hours in Sichuan, eating spicy food just for you! I'm bringing you in for a massive Chinese street food tour of Sichuan and Xi'an. We're going in DEEP for spicy Sichuan food all around Chengdu, visiting a hot pot factory, and then going up to Xi'an for hand-pulled noodles! It's amazing to taste all this Chinese food. Actually, I think the food in China is some of the best street food in the world.
You're going to love the Chinese street food in this video! Chinese food is some of the best in the world, and in Sichuan, it's absolutely amazing. I hope you like the Chinese cooking in this video cause it's over an hour of delicious Sichuan food in China! Don't worry, there are a lot of Chinese noodles too!

Hey Man! You're missed.. Only what's wrong with the sound? It's kinda 'clipping', 'destorting/overloading'. As being a dedicated follower from the very beginning, i'm really glad you guys are back.. ;) ♥ Greetz from The Netherlands..

How come you didn't visit the Philippines? Most of the food vloggers have visisted Philippines only you haven't.

Trevor, just wanna say hi and welcome back home. I’ve been watching you since the beginning and watching this now brings back so many memories, just smile to myself watching this. You’re no1, my man!

Chinatown bro😂

[@TravelbyDartTV]

Where spice levels are like a secret language, and every bite feels like a flavor explosion that your taste buds weren't prepared for! China has been my personal goal not just because of its amusing landscape but also because of their food. Hoping one of these days, my travel dart would land in this place!

[@user-fb9uu6cn5k]

Welcome

[@skettlepunk]

China was my number one place until i had a pet that i refuse to travel without which makes everything more difficult. North, west, northwest, etc (in china they have north northwest, east northwest, just take them all) but north(ish) and west china has the best food and culture in the whole world !

[@zigajavornik1026]

I have been and I am a foodie as well, I loved it. I am going to Sichuan this year, I can't wait to hit the streets. Really suggest you to go if you love the food as it is something entirely different from the western adaptation of Chinese food.

[@r4gnar0x80]

do you recommend any dish / food spot ? I am heading to Chengdu next month. I can't wait to discover China!@@zigajavornik1026

[@siddhanthdas8622]

I love spicy food and seeing all these delicious dishes is just making me hungry now! That place is like a heaven for spicy delicious dishes!!
