I don't think I've ever laughed so hard filming and editing a video. Peter, you're a legend!! I think this little experiment proves just how different a northern and southern Chinese palate really is.

Love how even a Chinese native finds some food strange. Clearly demonstrates how vast the variety of food is in China. Love Peter!!

Peter watching this video in Auckland, New Zealand and be like lmfao 😂 anyways, flying back to China tomorrow and will be more than happy to continue the amazing Chinese food adventure with Amy until the point I’m moving to Paris and become Pierre 💁🏼‍♂️ Just don’t ever make me try douzhi again 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

In some parts of China, 茶 doesn’t only represent tea, but also any drinks or liquid that you treat your friends or customers, for example 鸡蛋茶 egg tea, 油茶 oily tea, 花茶 flower tea, etc.

I'm siding with Peter today; I've tried douzhi and became so ill that I got a migraine and had to go home. For me it was the smell. 🤢
I'd still try anything once!
Cheers Amy and Peter

As someone learning Mandarin, I love hearing you and Peter speaking Mandarin to each other and shop keepers. It helps me learn the real names of these dishes. More please! 😊

Peter: "Even if the sun and moon collide, I will never try this again"

also Peter, 5 mins later: "...I'm gonna try dipping it!"

Beijing food is actually also special in Northern China😂

My Beijing friend, whose family has been living in Beijing for generations, told me he HATES DOUZHI so much. And none of his Beijing friends like it.

Peter's so adorable! And a great sport!😂😂❤

I believe the 面 in 面茶 refers to "flour", not "noodle". 😉

在广州,无论沙河粉,肠粉,猪肠粉都只有咸味的吃法,但在我老家台山,猪肠粉是加上白糖和米酒吃的,从看见的第一天开始我就很抗拒,一直没试过.要接一种新口味真不容易😂

I like Peter's friendly approachable personality even if he doesn't particularly palate the foods.

@runenorderhaug7646 3 years ago

As a half norwegian and explorer of foods, I think I could enjoy a lot of these places, but the issue would be that a lot of the breakfest foods would feel more like dinner or lunch places to me than breakfest places

I love Peter, his got such a laid back personality 😊

@catsidhe181 3 years ago

ahahaha I remember when I moved from Beijing to Guangzhou, getting used to the palate change between the regions was sooo hard, even though I was only 5 years old and supposedly "adaptable" at such a young age. As soon as I saw the video title I was like "oooof", especially since Peter is an adult, who clearly loves his Southern Chinese cuisine. Good on him for being such a good sport though! He basically reacted exactly how I expected him to react, especially with the reversing between sweet/savoury of certain foods between the North and the South.

Peter's laugh and colourful energy is just infectious - two minutes in and I'm giddily too! Peter more than he typical Cantonese guy!

Love Peter! Episodes with him are always so fun and entertaining!

Yes, we absolutely love Amy, Peter, and their shows: interesting, relaxing, fun, and pleasant! Peter is so funny and Amy is the little Sun in the show.
