I don’t understand why restaurants like to focus on fusions and trends when the original dishes are really good😂 like they should just focus on making a good version of it for their restaurant.
My best guess is these are nepo baby concepts. It screams more money than sense with no real understanding/enjoyment of cooking. Mapo tofu spaghetti is such an easy Win, I can't comprehend making it badly
I’ve made Mapo tofu with Chongqing style noodles (that is the name on the packaging, they are basically thin wheat noodles) instead of rice before (it’s easier and quicker if I don’t have pre-cooked rice) and it tasted great. I mean, it’s Mapo tofu. I’d imagine with spaghetti the sauce should be a bit thicker than usual but otherwise, it should work. Seems to me like they tried to over complicate it.
I…. I somehow didn't realize those pictures meant the temperature of the said train car, but honestly that makes more sense, I somehow was just thinking about the seasons them selves and nothing about the temperature 😂
Disappointing that those first two dishes sounded so good on paper but just don’t deliver. Happy the pea tips were still nice considering they’re a favorite food.
sometimes i think the market for “trendy” and new fusion foods is slowly shrinking so whoever makes up new recipes are just slapping whatever the hell together bc charcoal battered chicken??

Omg you and @blondieinchina should team up for a food adventure day!
Blanket noodles look phenomenal
You should have run after reading "Kale Americano" because that confirms that you were ordering from a list of viral ideas.
I like your outfit. You look.like a comfortable panda.
Why was the spaghetti mapo tofu SOUR???
I cannot place ur accent at all I feel like you sound American but sometimes you pronounce specific words on the verge of being British???

Careful with charcoal food– it can influence medications you may take
“you didn’t get that…” i literally said it in my head the same time you said it out loud
Ooh will you show us how to make the pea tips? Your death row food? It’s gotta be delish!
I would LOVE to see you try your hand at making a better mapo spaghetti!!! has so much potential
The outfit your wearing is super cute, it makes me think of a precious little toad getting a meal. I love toads and frog's and you look precious.
Blanket noodles looking incredible
Chef is high as fuckkkkk
Aww finally some vlogs! So adorable
How balance sunglasses on top of hood without them falling??
Also, kale Americano: NO
Love Mei but I hate the culture of using single use plastic gloves just to eat one meal or knead meat mince like some people do when cooking.

Low-key one of my favourite food influencers, honest feedback
As a Turkish person living in Istanbul, seeing the coffee being called "Fields of Istanbul" made me giggle so hard 😂

Mapo tofu spaghetti sounds like it could be so good, you should try making a better version
Thank you for your honesty 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Whole time I thought you lived in the states Mei 🥴
I really want to travel to china just for the food. Mostly street food on the country side
Gotta undo all the bad food with a tried and true meal. Haha. Glad you still enjoyed your fave food! That spaghetti did sound so good on paper though.
Cheddar on mapo tofu spaghetti? At least the pea tips and the cauliflower were good!

Girl, you are cute as a button and your voice makes me feel funny in my swimsuit area.
this is the first time I'm finding out you don't live somewhere like London, Brooklyn, Seattle, etc.
I had no idea you lived in Chengdu!!
