  • Come on, no one actually EATS the kind of food in the Wanfujing market regularily. Even for most Chinese people it's adventurous.

  • Jj

  • In 2007 my family went to the exact same market. My brother had a big starfish and puked for 3 straight days.

    Make sure whatever you eat is well-done! Lesson learned! :)

  • mcdonald and kfc is fuckin delicious wtf is that guy's problem?

  • I was i china for two weeks, in Beijing, Dongsi area. And it was awsome. Miss the spicy food

  • all of Chinese food are better than western tasteless piece of shit food

  • after watching this, i will save some money just want to try the emperor dishes. this video really made me curious on the food!!!!!

  • Fake foods

  • @KatiushaVN4 No such thing :D

  • @iTouchin

    In China, such things happen my friend

  • @KatiushaVN4 If by fake food you mean food flavoured with "flavour enhancers" such as MSG and chicken powder instead of real spices/garnishes then yes. However you're Vietnamese aren't you? I've been to Vietnam and you people use those things too.

  • @JL2813

    We Vietnamese don't make fake foods (fake egg and fake rice like Chinese do). Even steamed buns in China is made out of cardboard instead of meat. What a fool!

  • @KatiushaVN4 That was ONE company that added carboard to the bbq pork mixture in a steamed bun. The bun itself is actual wheat, wouldn't you think people can tell if they're eating paper instead of actual wheat? I've tried Pho in vietnam, it's loaded with msg and sometimes the beef tastes off because its been sitting around too long. Look at your own country before you slander others.

  • @JL2813

    MSG isn't fake food you dumb ass. Just like orange juice sold on markets around the world. Some brands use artificial flavours; however, they state it clearly on the label, and plus, that artificial flavour is approved by healthy and food department.

    Nevertheless, FAKE foods in China are totally different. Fake eggs are mixed with real eggs to sell at real egg's price. Fake rice mixed with real rice. Probably you've eaten cardboard steamed buns in China but you couldn't tell..

  • what is the name of the place with traditional beijing street food? i couldn't understand the name

  • @MMRAMOS2 九门小吃!!! It's near Houhai...

  • 3:10 she said the white guy speaks great chinese lol and subtitles said do you want chilli lol

  • No está mal de vez en cuando un poco de comida China

  • i love chinese food

    

  • wtf chinese rap roflmao

  • what is that stupid rap, I'm Chinese I just don't like how they doing the rap, looks stupid

  • To AlJazeeraEnglish, why do you constantly block comments on subjects which Chinese supporters may give you a hard time due to its bias and then open this channel. I love a debate and new knowledge even if it from them nasty Brits who f-ed us over, but please do yourself a service, do not be a wuss. Open all channels so I can read it to see if you make sense on my weekly flight from SF to Shanghai. As for food, when have you seen an obese Chinese person? Anywhere aside from Ca and Tx in US?

  • you westerners have been brainwashed by i dont even know what. all you guys think is eatable is chicken beef and pork. why the hell would you eat beef when you think dog meat is not eatable? its MEAT. meat is meat, same shit whether dog or chicken or pork, etc. i personally think pork is not eatable. pigs are dirty, they eat shit, so i guess their meat is dirty also. Cambodians eat spiders, so what? everything is eatable.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheOneFromMW2 I think you're insulting the Chinese about their food. Every country have their own kind of food to eat and btw the westerners are not brainwashed...

  • tried Mcdonalds at shanghai and it was disgustin~ man, i was dumb to eat "western" food while in China~

  • why dont u put english subtitles??? we are not all americans.. .i.

  • @SpartakosLowBap this is actually spoken with a british accent not american...

  • @marcotidus yes but i am greek.. so i cant understand so good..

  • @marcotidus Not at all, this is Chinglish Accent...

  • WE ALL LOVE CHINESE FOOD AND CULTURE THANKS CHINESE.

  • The song chinese song at the begining is called "Chinese Cooking" By Dragon Tongue Squad.

  • maybe i shouldnt have watched this at 6am in the morning .. now im starving :3

  • 3:15 LOL HES SHUSHING SOMEONE HAHAHAHA

  • can i find halal food ?

  • @kinglynx

    China is now considered to be the biggest exporter of Halal food to the world. I'm sure you can find halal food in Chinese-muslim restaurants or street food from xinxiang in beijing. You can find alot of halal food in western or north western China.

  • @jupiterscastle .. xinxiang? THANKU :D 

  • @jupiterscastle yea but youre forgetting one thing, halal meat is exactly the same as normal meat

  • Wait... so (what I'm guessing to be) an American is lecturing China about their expanding waistlines...? And I came here to see yummy food not a history lesson >.<

  • Fuck the Chinese government. Oppressive totalitarian regime.

  • omg all these food makes me drool. I'm a chinese american and let me tell you the only reason i'll go back to china is for the food specifically the street food. You can't get any of that in america not even chinatown sigh. can't wait to go back this winter break

  • That chinese rap is an example of the problem which is the emulation of western, namely american, culture. Can you imagine black people from brooklyn, NY performing chinese opera in english with their faces painted?? it would be incredibly embarrassing, lame, and unauthentic. Equally lame is a person from beijing rapping in chinese while wearing braided hair and bling.

  • @Uprising771 Cultures have been imitating each other for all of history. The romans, were almost exactly the same thing as Greek. French Neo-classism built the U.S. White House... Orientalism dramatically influenced French impressionists... Culture, music, art, architecture, all exist together... they are copied and transpired though out the world. Are the chinese supposed to dance with fans forever_ I don't think so. And its simply racist to think that cultures should exist as stereotypes.

  • @mdoerneman the cultural influences thru history were small until recently. we are in a unique time because never has one culture (western) influenced the ENTIRE world. The influence began by western imperialism (firearm) and been established thru globalism. American christmas songs, white santa claus, christmas tree, clothes, mcdonalds, pizza hut are GLOBAL. Nobody on earth puts up a lantern in chinese new year except the chinese. why does the world use the christmas tree? white man's world

  • @Uprising771 that isn't entirely true, history is full of moments where cultures dominated large parts of the world. For example, just 200 years ago if you were at an international you would more than likely be speaking french and english would be a bit of a joke. We're just in a moment in history where things "feel" like the "white man's world" but in reality, we are in a modern world. We don't see how much we take from other cultures as much as we see ourselves being assumed into others.

  • @mdoerneman Advances in communication and transportation, which grew exponentially in the last 100 years, are what mainly distinguish this era from the past. In the past ppl read books about cultures, but today Hollywood movies dominate the world in terms of entertainment and most are now available online. There isnt 1 single military on earth which does'nt wear the western uniform. These types of changes never existed. but the westernization of today is due to 'market expansion' of corporations

  • Comment removed

  • These days the Chinese are particularly crazy about the KFC taste. They also take it as 'cool' and 'westernised' to be able to eat it. It's not uncommon to see obese kids on the streets of China these days.

    Cultural invasion indeed.

  • Comment removed

  • @fernandesfran KFC, mcdonalds, pizza hut, dunkin donuts, starbucks...chinese cusine and culture is westernizing rapidly

  • Star fish is my favorate!! I just want to say Chinese street food culture is just like England's pub culture! British like drink and they drink as much as they can and Chinese like eat and we eat as much as we can! These two groups could distroy the world! That 's why I love living in London and proud to be a Chinese,

  • Why using Japanese music?

  • Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmy

  • OMG FOOD LOOKS SOO GOOD! CANT WAIT TO GO BACK NEXT MONTH :)

  • 2:05 is my personal highlight

  • @Nedolya7 even if they become, they won't loose there culture and language!

  • Hey #UN#, I love your channel! Keep up the good work! Let's stay in touch and become friends! Feel free to Subscribe, Like, Comment, and make Favorite to my YouTube Vids too!! <3

  • Chinese culture is amazing! They are great people and very smart people. I want to soon visit Bejing and learn more and see more in my life. To bad most Americans dont wish to do the same in their life.

  • i was disappointed when i saw of kfcs and pizza huts in historical sites. the good thing is is that when people become richer in china they tend to eat better.

  • fried i cream? I wonder what is taste like

  • Very good ! This is just what I was looking for ! It gives me the real feel of living Chinese -- I like it alot. 

  • Awesome video! Food makes me hungry! Lol rock on Beijing!

  • If Earth loses China to burgers and soda Earth will die.

    Set down the burger and build another wall and pick up a pencil and do Trigonometry for a few hours a day. God!

    The best things in every aspect of life has came from China..

  • going to china soon

  • You don't get fat for eating at US franchises. You get fat if you are lazy and sedentary. Nowadays every person with a car can't imaginate themself walking to the grocery, it's completely out of the posibilities!

  • its like weres wally but weres the fat chineses kid wait for it....found him 09.14 kid in yellow top lol

  • 北京的食物好吃吗?

  • @MoonCross10

    peking duck hell yah

  • damn! I need the rap song of minute 1:00! Who can tell me?

  • @wulfus512 就叫《中国菜》,《chinese dishes》 《 chinese Gerichten》

  • Wonderful!! Don't knock it until you've tried it.

  • I think he was just saying that with the introduction of food chains such as McD's and KFC, along with their rising popularity amongst the youth. The Chinese will gradually see an increase in obesity.

  • I love the sound of mandarin!

  • 永远的北京 <3 :))

  • china is an awesome vacation spot!

  • hungry now

  • well at least for young girls.

    if you are in your twenties, and your body is not model material, then you are considered fat. it's ridiculous. young girls in china consider BMI 16-18 normal. everyone constantly talkes about losing weight. The lose weight pills probably sell better than viagra in China.

  • the chinese consider a BMI index of over 19 fat.

    by that standard, i guess over 80% of all americans are fat.

  • as a chinese we have to deal with shit like government political BS but we're fuckin damn proud of our food, I mean what other people like american and French Italian people eat literally taste like garbage and cost like gold.

  • @timemachi Man if it wasn't for the poorest chinese people trying to make due with what they had (circa chinese dynasties) despite their dynasties trying to starve them is why we have the best chines cuisine known to human kind. Its always the poor who create the best food. The rich always eat the exact same way:  steak, lobster, blah blah blah.

  • @TubeGuest5178

    peking duck is from rich (emperor) lol. check history of it. yet its the yummiestttttttttt

  • @timemachi lol u guys eat dogs nuff said

  • @timemachi

    italian food is nice. i agree with french and aerican tho. both garbage especially french.

  • @timemachi a agree with you on the american and french food! But italian food is one of the best in the world!

  • wow where's the second place that he went to for the street food, I want to go there too! (I'm visiting Beijing next week!)

  • for someone born in china, his english is excellent :o

  • @xLossage percentage doesn't fucking matter.

    MORE means MORE

    Which would you rather have? 50% more of $1 or 20% more 1.3 billion? By your logic you'd pick 50% more of $1, giving you $1.50 simply because the percentage is more. gg

  • @knowsgoodmusic1 wat a shity brain..."percentage doesn't matter"??

    let me give u an example. If there only 3 ppl in your household and all of them are fat ass, wat other ppl will say is ur families ARE ALL FATTIES. at the same time, if my family has 30 ppl and only got 5 over weighted family member, ppl will definately think my family is a normal family that only has A FEW OVER WEIGHTED PEOPLE.

    there's a huge difference, hope your retarded head would understand wat im saying

  • @NothGosBack Math is hard isn't nigger. I'll leave you a question and let me see how long it takes you to finish it. Hint: it's related to your response to me.

    True or False: 5 > 3 ? Try hard and you'll be rewarded with KFC.

  • @knowsgoodmusic1 obviously, u didn't even finish elementary skool. did u ?? instead of compare 5&3, let me ask u first. 5/1000000000 & 5/10 which one is bigger??

  • @williamgore another victim of the public inner city school system. I feel sorry for you, I really do. If you knew how to read and comprehend what I was saying you would know that I didn't care about percentages. I was counting which was more. But for your feeble minds I'll make a percentage you can understand. I'll take the entire population of the world. lets say 6 billion. ok kids, KFC is still the prize. Which is larger? (china)15,000,000/6,000,000,00­0 or (U.S.) 10,000,000/6,000,000,000.

  • @knowsgoodmusic1 dont always try to skip the fact. From the beginning this argue till now, We have been COMPARING NATION TO NATION. According to the studies that u Americans did, There're 1.3 billion ppl in China, and only about 463 million ppl r overweighted. how about US?? Among almost 300 million Americans, 105 million ppl are fat asses. so YOU TELL ME 463,000,000/1300,000,000(China ) & 105,000,000/ 300,000,000(US) WHICH ONE IS LAGER??? dont try so hard, KFC wont reward u anyways.

  • @williamgore 105,000,000/300,000,000=0.35

    463,000,000/1,300,000,000=0.35­6

    Answer: China

  • @knowsgoodmusic1 and dont try so hard, coz i'm pretty sure it is impossible for u to figure out, oh, and KFC'll never reward u as well.

  • @xLossage

    there are only 300 million people in the US

    He said over 200 million are fat in China...herrrrrrrr durrrrrrrr

  • those chinese hiphopers think theyre black..

  • China please preserve your culture cos it's AWESOME..! everything about it is awesome, be it the building, food, clothes, etc, etc. Don't get influenced by the western culture too much please. Preserve your identity please...

  • @kickmyask82

    Don't worry, we will - I feel that Japan is much more westernized lol - I mean, curry and bread are considered Japanese foods in Japan.

  • the dude looks like a hitman

  • 2:15 meekakitty?

  • they just always try to find a way to cut down china but we don't care about what the americans or westerns think of us.. How does this guy even have the guts to tell us the chinese people are overweight when America,Australia and England are the most obese countries in the world.. And um lets face it, the host isn't the fittest person.. more like the fattest host i've seen.. and he has the balls to come out here and try to tell us asian are obese? Look are you own waistlines first~

  • @dxiao12 dude...he's chinese.........

  • I really miss beijing, but there are actually a lot of food venders. he's wrong. i love chinese food. the food here isn't even real chinese food.

  • Meh I wanna Beijing duck

  • if any of u never had intestines, i recommend you to try it. back when i was around 10-11 years old, i found it really disgusting because of its look, but now i love eating it because of the texture and the taste.

  • Makes me miss Beijing!

  • you, gotta understand one thing...

    chinks will eat anything..

    inclding rats off a back street..

    yeah, like id ,really eat food froma street vender in china..NOT>..

  • 0:31 LOL

  • pooor sea horse.....dat place eat anything!...

  • @MsVirgo3 Look, its medicine, Chinese don't eat seahorse for dinner. It's as absurd as eating aspirin for dinner. And seahorse is just like other medicine, except without gutting the animal, extracting the medicinal substance, adding chemicals and compressing them into nice convenient pills.

  • I like the rap in the show. It is nice to see a Chinese document in China. It is more realistic rather than bias most of the time by a non-Chinese.

  • Street-food is the cleanest, tastiest food you can get and that's true for most countries. In Thailand I got sick twice, both from eating at "fine restaurants".

  • i'm chinese, i'm going to china this october, and i don't like chinese food at all! XD I know it all seems so tasty <3.. but i just don't like it xD gonna be the hardest 2 weeks of my life without the western food..

  • guizhou food is my personal favourite

  • What's the meat on the skewers that he refused to eat? Colon or something? Penis?

  • @SirPercivalGallant ...yes...donkey penis

  • Intresting.

  • Other beings suffer because of people who buy that in stores ok? Now,YOU are the one who is responsible for suffering of others and you are informed. It doesn't matter are you coward or you just want to try to listen with open mind and think about remark and rather go to attack benevolent people like me. You guys just don't get it that you will meet consequences for all you do no matter if you are blind or disconnected with your higher I.

  • @FreeIndividua DUD .. IT'S FOOD .. OK .. CALM YOUR FUCKING TITS ..

  • @koreansatsuke You are ignorant insensitive bitch.

  • @FreeIndividua SMD Bitch

  • @koreansatsuke Fuck you yellow scum!

  • @FreeIndividua China is a country of 1.3 billion people, do you really think a few people not buying meat will change anything? It would be a miracle if 0.1% of the population turned vegetarian. The ones responsible for cruelty are those involved in slaughter houses etc. if you want change, campaign against them. I'd rather eat an animal and not know how much it suffered, than know and not eat it and so the animal died for no reason. This may lead to change in a smaller countries but not China.

  • LMAO

    I don't think there is good street food in Beijing, Oh i hate their diet,

    Hunan, has the best

  • 那他妈满头小辫那SB谁啊,真给北京爷们丢分~
