Cobble from the UK we are currently in Beijing China the capital city and we are down one of the most famous streets here wager fuin street she just asked me how how she how to say it I forgot forgot straight away so this street is like a pedestrian street loads going on loads of people loads of tourists and loads of locals as well but one thing we we have noticed looking on Google Maps is there's a snack Street there's a street dedicated to snacks so this day it's going to be all about trying food yeah we love food let's go well supposedly this area should be like a night market I don't know if it's closed down or maybe it's a weekend thing so we're going to have a little explore see if there is anything but looks like it's not going on anymore it's all closed down that's a bit sad isn't it so because the street food is closed off in the area there's mainly like restaurants in that and this is not what we want to try and do so we're going to head to another area but on our way we've come past these really good looking food places we've got the traditional look stuff by so we're going to get a couple of them yeah why not oh wow hello hello hello hello uh she two yeah two what oh um cheese yeah whatever I don't know what do okay hot hot spicy a little bit I think you put feeling it oh wow yeah oh man yeah these look good oh they do look good you can go oh no I don't me so we've actually got two of these so we can both have one how much uh eight eight two 16 16 yeah oh let's go over and try this and then there's another store next to it we have to go there as well we were literally about to leave I'm so glad we spotted this we going yeah we're going to head down the Hong area after we've finished off all these ones because apparently that gets quite um quite busy and there's a lot of street food down there and I feel like I need some of them sugar fruit oh SW up but these are really unique I've never actually uh seen like this no I reckon you could have had the sausage in there yeah I reckon as well yeah that's what he was saying so is it yeah it's almost like a pirata if you know if you've been to Pakistan or India you know P I'm going to try it I've lost a lot of it on the floor it's got the Chinese spice that crep sort of thing it's crusty and and there's an egg in there as well delicious boiling not I'll give it a Char um I think we got like a vegetarian version I think the store next to it had like bow buns maybe look we see what that guy gets it's kind of our thing we watch what other people get all right I'm going to try and give it a go but as been said is really hot I'm not sure what these are oh my gosh is well like potato yeah I'll take it back cuz I said it was cheese but it's definitely not cheese no and we got like lettuce in there yeah don't listen to me get out of my [Music] video oh my God that's SM good it's like a thin deep fried crispy with an egg on top and you got your LS oh wow this is really good M it's nice cuz you got the cold and hot put together but this outside is on I think the eggs like in the middle of it in the middle of this so maybe it's like the flaky pastry egg and then pastry on up and then flatten down that's how I can imagine it it's really good I'm so hungry that good hey eight each they were eight each as well I think so good these are massive yeah so we're like total virgins when it comes to Chinese food well like like proper Chinese food um so any anything and you know what it is leave it in the comments so we know for future that was really delicious we're going to check out the next St and see what then one one and one one one you make it more confusing every time yeah know ooh look at them oh look they're freshly made look at them everything's freshly made here you can

spot yeah this one's got bare light and come oh they're hot as well fresh out of the oven I'm going to call that an oven I'm guessing it's like a steaming po steamer yeah I would call it Ste stopped on top of each other and I saw him looking at the bottom so there must be like I'm not sure thought they might have had like rotin on it that might be a rotin but we're not really sure I'm going to say it's probably duck cuz he pointed at this one straight away and Duck's really popular here so I can imagine this one's duck rip it do I rip it or bite it rip it and then boite it it is hot oh oh good look at meatball oh wow we go boy into the meat m oh that is Juicy it's like a beef meat wall could be donkey cuz I know they have donkey here it's really nice and that's a really soft bun and hot good it's kind of like a Gravy Sauce in there thing with Chinese food I really like it cuz it's not spicy like not all their foods like there is a Kake to food but none of it unbearable it's not like Thai food I've really enjoyed every single thing I've at here at moment it's really good and they were only 350 are they the same I think so Ben's double checking if we got two the same we food

going to jump on the Metro now and head to like the really good food Street these is amazing all right we'll see you on the other side and we're here that was the smoothest transition I've ever seen yeah along here there's all like restaurants quite quite nice Posh ones we're going to head where left or right left left we're going to head left and um hope find some food stands and stuff but yeah quite busy tonight plenty of people out wow look at it look at that it's all lit up it's well good that's definitely China generally looks amazing at night they do do they do their like lights very well so this area seems to be very popular for hot pots not life young people loads of young people and it's really busy here there's a hot pot all these restaurants are like yeah as I say like major busy everyone's out enjoying theirself temperatures like really cool now so it's quite comfortable wow look at this place here all open we got another one here this one's empty I don't know why but the one next door is like full like every table is full yeah this one's and this one as well pretty obviously not as popular I could smell like stinky tofu I think it might be that one's just trying to translate it what is it choose point for it and go for it right I'm going to go for that one and that one see we get that's black to yeah I think that's what we one this one to translating through Google Translate this is scan the Cod not working is it what scan the code to place an order oh do you yeah how'd you do it thank you a sh sh what a nice guy you see we were struggling he just done it for us do you want anything else no it's okay thank you one thing in China right they are so so so helpful honestly they they are yeah it's really really nice yeah thank you so what I think we're getting is black tofu and by the smell of it it's stinky so it's very very popular here you have to do the order online and as Ben said he helped us conly do it so I'm quite excited to try it it seems to be one of the like dishes you have to try here B gra the food I've took a little seat here side the road I love this all these places over there uh sat down like queing to go in there they have all these like little stores along the side of the road it's really good idea it shows that they obviously don't get rain oh my God is there a pet cat over there Ben P stay there there's a pet cat I found a cat wanding around there you go Ben so we've got black stinky toe food it's like stuffed and it smells like garlic and spices he said to if this isn't spicy enough we can go back up there and it'll put some more on there got some flavors there and some coriander py or something but I'm putting it off I'm delaying it cuz I can a little bit smells but with all the marinate in it it smells like quite refreshing so first time trying black tofu it's t you all right is it yeah it's got like a really soft middle a little bit of a crunch on the outside but you got like a burst of flavors from the like chili garlic some fresh herbs and it's like quite really juicy inside actually don't mind it see I want to taste it because I tasted stinky tofu in Malaysia and I didn't like it for ran to like it I'm going to think it's going to be quite nice so go on let's try it oh it's going for a full wax it's not like pungent in your mouth like the stuff in Malaysia was it just didn't taste very nice it it had a really bitter horrible taste I don't know if it's cuz of the marinade and the stuff they put on it but it's really moist as well is it soft in the middle delicious yeah really nice so this is the place we went to I think this is the best place if you want to try some sinky Toe Through black stuff we got loads in there and this cost us 15 and we're just sitting outside here in our little seats trying it we like stinky to through yeah oh Ben's carrying on really enjoying that like scraping it clean i' L it that's you're all right I think we might need something sweet now some ice cream or some sugared fruit hello hello this one I think you can add them in there can't you so it's a roll and you can put it in there yeah I just pick one um yeah P yeah p uh little bit okay you speak English little I speak Chinese say very NY oh wow Lo going in there nuts getting all the flavors in there alled to that yes any any go go for it oh that's going to be amazing oh my God thank you 25

you the name of any of these Foods we're eating because this is all new to us oh my God we're pretty certain we went for duck we got to pick the outside and I went for the pink one and they like as you saw put an egg in it um so many ingredients it was 34 in total let's go in and try it but look that does look good don't even know where to go M I'll go bit like crispy bit that's well nice I'm trying to see ah it's more of like a stretchy instead of a pancake outside like probably G done with like rice it's more starchy and then we got the meat that is dark yes we did it Ben we got dark get on the dark in the bite oh that is unreal it's so many flavors going on that duck is like smoked duck so it's got so much flavor to it this is so good and this is half of it so we've got like one each amazing right so I'm going to try the fal we got she put pork it but I'm just going to dive straight in and try it look at the wiip on that though look at it look look at that that is good that a 2 the juice that squared out of that it was like did you hear that it was like right downloading the data processing the the outside pancake is a little bit different it's more like stretchy and spongy and probably similar to what ran had is sort of like made like a like a rice flowy stretchiness doesn't overpower the taste of what's inside there's like peanuts and stuff you I taste a lot of peanut don't know if there's like a sa in there and then you've got like the pork and the pork's like a little bit crunchy give me yeah it's it's um very it's very moist and delicious ious but let's let taste it just the way you speak of like that thin roll not even powering it that whole reason for it is just to put loads of ingredients in it so let's go in it's cold yeah it's cold I didn't expect that that is full of some amazing flavors though that pork is unreal it just like falls apart and it's got so much flavor if you saw it it was in like of pot it's obviously been stewing fres but we got like cucumber Bean CHS and then we've got like a Nutty flavor absolutely delicious you just can't beat the food it and the size of them the things are massive it doesn't beat the duck pancake rollway the other day it was about this size but oh so good go back and watch a couple of videos back I think it so good all right we passed the fruit with the sugar on it so we got get one should we get which one Ben this one the chocolate one yeah strawberry right that one one thank you oh my god of course Ben went for the strawberries and chocolate one it's got like Caramelo sugar on the outside oh good crunch M oh my God good I don't have chocolate I'm not sure what that is I'm not sure in the middle it's not got a lot of flavor reminds me kind of like pure dates something like that
