China has the world's number one industrial manufactured products, and the food industry is just one of them. Basically, you can find snack products of any country and any brand in the world in China. Many food manufacturers will also come to China to invest and build factories and introduce the snack products of their own countries. Of course, except for some relatively extreme flavors (such as canned herring that even the locals may not be able to accept. In China, usually only some foreign trade stores will import and sell it). When these products are produced in China, they will try their best to suit the taste of the locals. For example, the Chinese actually don't like extremely sweet snacks, and these food manufacturers will produce some snacks with local characteristic flavors (such as the spicy flavored Lay's potato chips you see). You haven't even seen these products in the place of origin. Chengdu is one of the most inclusive cities in China, and you will feel this in the subsequent journey. As a native of Chengdu, I am very glad to see more and more foreign friends coming to travel in Chengdu. I hope you have a pleasant journey!

[@fansxmk]

@@zefengc In the traditional Chinese dietary culture, dairy products do not occupy an important position as in some Western countries. On the one hand, from the perspective of history and geography, the development of animal husbandry in most areas of ancient China was relatively limited, and the scale of cattle and sheep breeding was not as extensive as that of some nomadic peoples on the grasslands, which to a certain extent affected the supply and popularity of dairy products. On the other hand, China has a rich variety of other ingredients and dietary choices, such as grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, etc., which play an important role in people's daily diet and to a certain extent also reduce the dependence on dairy products. For example, soy milk is a common drink in China, which to some extent replaces the position of milk in some people. In addition, various soy products, rice paste, etc. also provide people with rich sources of nutrition.

A quick tip, when you are looking for restaurant, just try places with a lot of people. Don't go to restaurant with no customers at meal time.

[@OnlyBlackSoul1155]

作为不太了解当地食物是否可口的标准，找顾客多的饭店就对了。一般到了吃饭时间，反而没有顾客的店铺，要么是因为食物口味不好，要么是价格太昂贵。最后，还有一个原因，可能饭店的食物口味比较特别或者是食物比较特殊。

The main difference between American Coke and Chinese Coke is the sweetener used. American Coke is typically sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, while Chinese Coke is sweetened with cane sugar. Additionally, Chinese Coke has less carbonation than American Coke. American Coke was pulled from the Chinese market in 2008 due to dwindling sales, as Chinese consumers preferred the taste of the cane sugar-sweetened Coke. Definitely try get out of your comfort zone and try out different looking drinks in China, you can't get the same level of variety of drinks and teas from other countries, not even in Japan!

Hi. For you question about the condiments actually for normal restaurants serving fried dishes they don’t usually put the condiments on the table because I guess each dish has its own seasoning and most of people won’t try to modify it. But you can always ask for any condiments and they will give you from the kitchen.on the other hand, if you go to a noodle restaurant, there will be always two or three condiments on the table like soy sauce, vinegar and many kinds of chili depends on your city. The chili could be powder, could be chili oil.

What other places in China are you planing to visit? Are you going to any of the national parks? I am loving your videos and will be going to China for the first time this July! Thanks for all the info in your videos ❤

[@liocwa]

Welcome to China! China is a very safe country, and Chinese people are incredibly friendly and hospitable. Wishing you a pleasant stay and enjoyable experiences in China

欢迎，

[@toggle6866]

wow, amazing!

[@vense235]

You can taste many traditional Sichuan dishes there. Lujizhengjie restaurant "卢记正街饭店" is even michelin recommended.

[@SuhandiWijaya]

I love spicy food too, and salty as well, those two profile in any food, I'll eat it. However, my personal favorite food in China is Hunan food, it's also very spicy type but the spicy is different: it's more pure heat than numbing. One day when you guys visit Zhangjiajie (Avatar Mountain which is located in Hunan province), you can try Hunan food too.

我来自成都，很高兴看到你们在我的家乡旅游！祝你们愉快

Talking about having food late at night, actually, in most Chinese cities you can find restaurants open till very late, especially in Chengdu. Some of the restaurants here would be open till 2 am in the morning, there are even 24-hour restaurants for people who work very late like taxi drivers. And some restaurants begin their day at 7 or 8 in the evening and they serve some of the most unique food.

[@hikarihikari4501]

And btw when it comes to chip flavors, there are like 50 different kinds of flavors in China and they still making new flavors, I just saw 3 new ones this month. 🤣

[@dice138]

@@hikarihikari4501 I watched a lot foreign travellers check out supermarket or convenient store in China. When it comes to Lays chips, I realized one particular flavor will always caught their attention. The cucumber flavor. It's like that is so un-imaginable for them.😂

谢谢你们的真实宣传

[@howiet2489]

I think it was awesome trying out the cheap food and convenience stores instead of fancy dining places. It really fits the "Two Mad Explorers" vibe. Can't wait to see more videos! By the way, is Guangzhou (my hometown) on your travel list this time? :)

[@kerwinbigking]

欢迎来到成都，我的家乡，希望你们喜欢，也希望你们能品尝到四川的美味。如果有时间，来成都的南门的双塔看看，我就这附近工作，为这里的建设骄傲。

The green vegetable is called garlic shoot. That’s just a small milk bar size shop. Maybe in the future you can try a proper supermarket in a shopping mall. The variety will blow your mind.

[@pingwang1176]

there are many beautiful places in Sichuan province and Yunnan province where foreign visiters like，wish U have a good trip in China～

[@maneil9297]

It is garlic stem

[@chengdula]

Loved your video. Chengdu is my home town and now living in LA. The Chinese dish you had is called” Stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts” which is my favorite dish of all time! Wishing you a great journey in Chengdu!

[@user-nh4zb5mj5g]

I watched a piece of your video from bilibili. So I come to KZbin in order to show my like to your video!❤

[@kennyng2289]

I suggest that you watch the channel, Ken Abroad. He is a German KZbinr who travel alone. He has been to Shanghai, Xinjiang and Harbin and will return to China again in the later part of this year. Alina McLeod has also been Shanghai and Chengdu. There are several other foreign KZbinrs who have been to China like Alan and Shannon from Scotland.

[@zuriyel5368]

A popular Sichuan dish I can recommend is Mapo Tofu. It's really good and pretty much the only tofu dish I ever eat.

[@noone4880]

这个菜做为一个四川人来说，好不好吃很大程度上取决于厨师的水平~不是任何一盘麻婆豆腐都好吃的。。。。。

[@lidijaceric7013]

The cardigan ❤😃 I love you two, spreading love one country at a time

[@eat.melon.qunzhong]

Nice vlog. 👍 I love Sichuan.

[@tonylie8733]

A little advice: it's best for the two of you to eat Asian, namely ordering several menus and noodles or rice to eat.

[@user-hn8ss7nx3z]

你们可以去九寨沟和黄龙看看，那是最能代表中国自然风光的地方。

[@user-wq6ov3bg6k]

去新疆 西藏更好看

[@lalalalalalala127]

Usually the price unit for fruits (and other groceries that need to be weighed) is half a kilo, aka jin. For example the mango is 13 yuan per jin, that is 26 yuan per kilo.

[@yupingning2917]

normally, you do not need to eat chill which is to add favor for your dish. i recommend you to try hot pot here, it's famous, but it is really really spicy even for people in other province. hope you enjoy the trip in China.

[@zhoukensen6391]

You should choose the other drink which they called wanglaoji 😊

[@zacwayne1181]

just tell them it's china Coke better to understand

[@sunshinema3420]

你们的视频在中国很受欢迎，YT 能有字幕就好了，祝你们在成都玩得开心！成都还有很多值得去的地方，我为你们推荐一个距成都不远的一个自然风景区，号称东方阿尔卑斯山的四姑娘山，那里风景很不错，值得一去❤

[@Bocrete-ii1rc]

视频右上角的设置里面可以打开简体中文字幕

[@ghgcfgh-km7xw]

KZbin有自带字幕啊

[@lilianalin987]

So happy to watch your video 😊 Traveling is experiencing, no matter what, I could feel it through your video. By the way, nearly all the Chinese restaurants offer free rice after you ordered some dishes, and you can ask them to add more if you are still hungry. Don’t be shy, just ask, it’s not a big deal.

[@T1me-wb4us]

amazing 😍

Try the luckin coffee or Mixue , u can find it everywhere. 😊

Wow that food looks amazing, i'm now looking forward to going in the future. Google translate is really good wherever we go. Brilliant vlog breaking down the barriers and showing everybody how easy it can be ❤

[@user-yv8cr1pq3y]

Nice video

[@SlowtravellerDan]

In most cases, Chinese food is fully seasoned, you don’t have to add condiments. If you need, it almost means that the chef didn’t do a good job.

[@kapk]

Some people do like to add vinegar or extra chili sauce to a dish. That's what the table condiments are for.

[@dice138]

@@kapk Yes, for us Chinese. However, for westerners, the main condiment they are looking for on the table is soy sauce. They love to pour a lot of soy sauce onto their rice or directly into the dishes they ordered. I used to work in a Chinese restaurant when I was in US. Once time I saw a family of four used up a whole container (the same size in Luke and Neomi's video) of soy sauce in one meal.
