This Is What People in China Eat For Breakfast!?

Breakfast in China is slightly different compared to the usual breakfast we are used to back home in Europe and the West. But after trying ALOT of different types of breakfasts here in China, we actually think China has better options for meals to get your day kick started!
So if you are heading to China and wondering what you should be tucking into for your first meal of the day, this video will take you through all the best, most common, and some of our favorite Chinese breakfasts!
I hope your hungry!!

Remember guys there are just the variety for this city/province. If you travel to anther city, the breakfast selections could be vastly different than anything you see here.

[@EoinandAisling]

We definitely have noticed the breakfast options change as we move but most of these can be found everywhere... that we've been so far haha

[@loongsiu4766]

​@@EoinandAisling these can be found in most parts of China, but the taste is different...

Shaomai 烧麦 is styled in the south with stuffed sticky rice, while in the north they are stuffed with meat and veggies. as a person born in the north but of south origin, i prefer the northern style. wish you both have a nice stay in China.

[@EoinandAisling]

Oh wow! They both sound very tasty :)

[@Eric-hh1de]

Glad to see you are guys enjoying travel and local food

[@HarveyChenBlog]

What makes foreign friends confused most is the difference between 包子baozi and 馒头 mantou. Because they're the same word bun in English. So it's better to use Pinyin for them on this situation. Basically 皮蛋瘦肉粥 is very popular in Chinese communities overseas. I noticed that there was no pieces of century old eggs in your congee. Bakeries in China only serve western style bread that we don't eat for breakfast. It's an economic option to grab food for breakfast from streetfront eateries and street vendors! Remember the difference between 包子，饺子，馒头，和面包。小笼包其实是包子，但被翻译成Soup dumplings😂. Honestly watching your video makes me feel hungry at the moment! Enjoy your trip in hangzhou!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@sunnys2864]

I saw many people call 包子 dumpling because it might have similar ingredients and methods to make as 饺子。

The way Aisling take the fried dough stick is the best ! A slight dip and down the hatch!

[@EoinandAisling]

I like the dough sticks when they are still crispy

[@yamatotakayama2822]

Wuhan is definitely the city of breakfasts in China.

[@kelwang446]

It's China's Breakfast Capital for sure .❤

[@xinfuxia3809]

Tianjin is. You can have different choices everyday for a whole year.

[@manalin6917]

[@EoinandAisling]

They are AMAZING!!

[@alexma5848]

Yes，we Chinese also like JianBing煎饼果子.

[@willsmith4735]

Breakfast varies from province to province and even from city to city in China. I live in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and my favorite breakfasts include sweet soybean milk, salty soybean milk, deep-fried doughnuts (which can be dipped in a little bit of soy sauce), xiao long bao (small dumplings), bamboo shoots with shao mai (roasted pork), noodles mixed with peanut sauce, noodles mixed with scallions and oil, skinny pork porridge with egg, millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, and many other types of sweet or salty porridge. The crust on the outside of the JianBing you guys are eating in the video is made of mixed grains and it's my favorite too. There are still some breakfasts in China that I haven't had either, so I look forward to your continued exploration.

[@MarioLV]

good video as always!! next stop you gotta try Hot Dry Noodles (Re Gan Mian, 热干面), signature morning dish from Wuhan, Hubei province.

[@EoinandAisling]

Thanks for the tips! We will have to look out for it :)

[@Chapa-pa-pa]

Nothing beats American Lucky Charms cereal with milk.

[@michaelgec3344]

My favorite Chinese breakfast here in southern China is "Egg Noodles". Can't remember the Chinese name. I have only seen it here in southern China.

[@cassiezhouzhou]

Like you are brave enough to try different things 👏👍 Enjoy the diverse cuisine in 🇨🇳 🥟🍜

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you! And we will! We love to try as many new cuisines as possible

[@wojiaomaxiaoyun]

It's really good. What you have summarized is really the most common part of Chinese people in the morning. There are many more. You can explore slowly. Just one "饼", there are at least hundreds of kinds in China. Chinese food is much more complex than that in the West

[@Tom67Slick]

Pork liver congee is my favorite, the Cantonese style ones are amazing, the liver slices are really soft and creamy

[@myriamfelix5798]

Very well presentation for Chinese breakfast.

[@EoinandAisling]

Thanks so much ☺️

Breakfast is different in every place in China. Even if it is the same type, the taste is different in every place.

So so good!!! I just want to eat them all over again haha this video made me very hungry when we were making it 😂

[@420mtbrider]

Chinese pizza (jian bing) is my favorite!! I can eat it all day long!! so simple, but so delicious!!

[@8899me]

Really enjoy your video a lot. So fun 😘

[@Meowmeow-lj4sv]

If you ever go to the province of Fujian, one of our most well known breakfast combinations are peanut butter banmian (noodles) eaten with Fujianese wonton soup called Bian Rou. Definitely give it a try some time!

[@TheRealIronMan]

The downside is it sucks when you are not a morning person XD By the time I wake up most of those shops are already closed lol

[@paul-f2p]

actually the fried dough sticks are supposed to be put in the salty soybean milk but sweet one😂😂 we also put soy sauce in tasteless soybean milk it is also delicious

[@熊超-p8j]

There are tens of thousands of breakfasts in China.😊

[@EoinandAisling]

@@EoinandAisling They are delicious. And If you travel to Yunnan or Guanxi Provinces, you can try rice noodles there. Their rice noodles are also famous and tasty in China.

[@fatdoi003]

2:36 if it's your staple diet then say it correctly..... Jen Bin (jian bing) 11:00 for the beef congee, you can also dip the youtiao into it as well... also add a bit of white pepper (if they have it) to enhance the taste... you'll need to try the spring onion pancakes..... wrap it with a stick of youtiao.... heaven

[@EoinandAisling]

Oh wow that sounds delicious! and as for the jianbing, we have researched and looked up how to say it so many times and often get a different answer. So this was our best attempt but we did try!

Classic translation error. You were thinking Bao Zi, stuffed dome-shaped bread, translator said Man Tou, which is never stuffed, just bread. Better learn these two Chinese words.

[@EoinandAisling]

[@cnmd1636]

Very nice video for some basic Chinese breakfasts that foreign visitors can try. For soy milk, it actually has a salty version which is also fantastic. In addition, please note that the soy milk you can find from the street is way much better than you can find in the West in a bottle.

Please visit China as there is a serious recession currently and so many people are out of work. Foreign tourism is dramatically down. This is why they expanded the 15 day free VISA for 53 countries to try and promote the country. That is why you see 100 times more KZbin videos about China. In 2019, nearly 98 million international visitors came to the country. Last year it was only 35 million - including business trips, students and the like. Mr Lou describes the domestic versus international market as "uneven".

[@steve13191]

language barrier plus irish accent. the local chinese have no chance understanding you 😂 maybe consciously try to adopt american or neutral accent would slightly improve the outcome.

[@chanchan-lv7wj]

There are so many provinces in China, diffierent provinces with different specialties, totally different. As a cantonese, I think the cantonese food is the best.
