Respect for going out of your way to travel to places in China outsiders rarely see on Youtube.

5:03 that's sugar not salt, it's called "炒糖色" (fried sugar color) in Chinese, it's basically a caramelization reaction. often used in braised dishes. It's for the color and gloss of the dishes, also gives the food a unique flavor and aroma. It can be carried out using oil or water. Oil conducts heat quickly but is easy to burnt, while water conducts heat slowly but is stable.

Yes. China has Eight Major Regional Culinary Styles: Yue (Cantonese) from the Guangdong province, Shu (Chuan) from the Sichuan province, Xiang from Hunan province, Hui from Anhui province, Lu from Shandong province (home of Confucius), Min from Fujian province, Zhe from Zhejiang province, and Su from Jiangsu province. Cantonese cuisine is the most famous both domestically and abroad in major Chinese diasporas worldwide with the famous quote “Eat in Guangzhou”. Cantonese cuisine is characterized by original flavors and freshness. Sichuan style is characterized by mala, or numb (ma) and spicy (la). Hunan style is characterized by spiciness. Zhejiang and Jiangsu styles are characterized by a tinge of sweetness in the salty dishes. ❤❤❤ Greetings from Los Angeles from a Cantonese Chinese American. Really enjoying your trip to China. I hope you can also visit some ancient towns like Furong, Lijiang, Fenghuang (Phoenix), Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen, and the Four Great Ancient Chinese Capitals Xi’an, Luoyang, Nanjing and Beijing.

Mark, I am a Chinese living in Bangkok now. Both my son and I are your big fans. We went to your restaurant several days ago. Your videos make me wanna go back to China tomorrow.

Actually lots of foreigners don't like to eat Chinese chicken because there are lots of bones inside. their tongue didn't get trained to deal with the bone. they prefer to eat the chicken in KCF. but Chinese people think the meat with bone is more delicious than the pure meat, that's the big difference.

A huge thank you to Michael. He seems to take you guys to authentic culinary places. Very professional.

you probably don't remember me because you have soooo many subscribers...but several years ago just before the pandimic I had sent you a couple messages . My name is David Ward and I live about 10 miles north of Nashville Tn. in the USA. I had told you that I had been living in a barn on the back of my parents property for years, well me being the only single child they have....I've finally been able to move into their house and I've been holding down a full time job, for the last 24 years, and I take care of and help them with everyday things. Mark, you've always been an inspiration to me and I still look forward to eating with you and your family at the great buffet in the kingdom to come. I continue to pray for you and your family and I'm so happy that you are still traveling and eating food all over the world. God bless you and your family.

So clean kitchen

I wish I could send them some of my roosters. (Crowing at 5 a.m..)
