Speaker A

Good morning, everyone. Good morning, everyone. I'm going to take you all with me to experience a day in Chengdu. And today, I'm going to Chengdu by myself. I really like Chengdu because this place gives me a feeling. It's very, very chill.

Speaker A

The food here is also very delicious. Although the food is basically very spicy, it's spicy and delicious.

Speaker A

I'm almost ready to go out now. And Mantou didn't come with me today because she's going to a concert tonight. I'm going alone to explore Chengdu. I'll bring you guys along to experience Chengdu life. Let's go!

Speaker A

This place is called Kuan Zhai Alley. It's very crowded. It's very busy. What flavors? Original?

Speaker A

(Original) Sichuan cuisine. Beef patties. They eat them for breakfast. It's crispy on the outside.

Speaker A

Beef on the inside. It's very crispy. It's delicious. One bite of this beef patty and a bite of yogurt.

Speaker A

It's really good. It's a bit like the one I had in Taiwan before. Scallion pancake. The crust is super crispy.

Speaker A

And then there's some minced beef inside. Scallions. It smells so good. Breakfast here is not expensive. A beef patty like this is RMB 10. It's about RM 6. I'll have a cup of hand-brewed.

Speaker A

This is Arabica in Chengdu's Kuan Zhai Alley. It's very, very beautiful. Its interior design. It has a courtyard style. I heard that it seems to be designed by a very famous designer. And this area, I really like it.

Speaker A

There are a lot of small stores here. There are also a lot of cafes. It's really hot outside. I just came in here. I'll order a matcha ice cream. This matcha ice cream, the flavor is very good. It's not sweet either.

Speaker A

It's more bitter than I thought. And I also ordered an ice Americano. It's super tasty. Chengdu's must-try snacks, Tang You Guo Zi. It's made of glutinous rice, brown sugar, and sesame. The panda as my background.

Speaker A

It is not very crispy, but inside it's a bit like a chewy mochi. It's quite flavorful. And the outside, it has a little bit of sweet brown sugar flavor.

Speaker A

A bunch is RMB 10. There's a lot of food on this street, but I researched on the internet. They say you should just buy snacks when you come here.

Speaker A

The restaurants here are more expensive. This one has more sesame seeds compared to this. Taste test. How can I describe this flavor?

Speaker A

Kuan Zhai Alley, it's really busy. It really sells a lot of things. And there's a face-changing show here. They sell a lot of dried meat, handicrafts, and souvenirs. This street is more crowded with tourists. Now I'm going to another street.

Speaker A

I've heard that it's also worth a visit. It looks so delicious. There's really a lot of snacks.

Speaker A

I saw the sweet-skinned duck. Then I saw the steamed buns. I wish I had two stomachs.

Speaker A

Because I just ate snacks, I'm really full. The street I'm in now is called Bin Sheng Street. It's in the Kuan Zhai Alley. It's about a ten-minute walk. And this street, there are many cafes. And there are also a lot of buyer's stores.

Speaker A

There are also some niche brands. Kuan Zhai Alley is like a tourist area. Then this Bin Sheng Street is a bit more civilized.

Speaker A

I'll take you for afternoon tea. And the place I'm in now is called Renmin Gongyuan. There are many street performances here. I'll give it a try. What's the difference?

Speaker A

("This is green tea.) ("This is yellow tea.) This is good for the stomach? (Right.) I'll have a cup, then. I'm really lucky. I was about to leave. Then when I turned around to leave, I saw an empty table.

Speaker A

I'll have a cup of tea here. My mood had already dropped to the bottom.

Speaker A

Then all of a sudden, he sells a lot of fruits here. I saw a lot of people ordering watermelon and melon seeds.

Speaker A

Then there are some people playing cards here. Forty minutes traffic jam. I'll just have a little bit. I'm afraid of spicy food.

Speaker A

Thank you. Chengdu's must-have. I think I've already taken a lot. But when I look at the others,

Speaker A

they take at least 3-4 times more than me. I also took a bean curd. It had white radish inside and some sesame on top. I'm here now. It's called Xianzhiwei bowl-bowl chicken. This restaurant gives me the feeling it's a bit like Malaysia.

Speaker A

We eat lok lok, but their lok lok is already cooked. It's already cooked. I heard that it's like Chengdu's bowl-bowl chicken. It's not spicy, but the way I look at it, it's red. This restaurant is also considered to be a local

Speaker A

'greasy spoon.' 'Greasy spoon' in China is something like... It's like a Malaysian mamak. Sort of a cheap food. I'm going to eat. I think it's tripe. This one, it's spicy, but it tastes good. This is what we call tofupok in Malaysia.

Speaker A

This is delicious. This is also good. Chicken innards. Crispy. Chinese food. Bamboo shoots. To summarize, it's spicy and refreshing. Really spicy. It's RMB 14.5. It's cheap.

Speaker A

It's worth it. Because in Malaysia, it's quite expensive to get a lok lok. Four or five sticks, it's more than RM 10 or RM 20 for 4 or 5 sticks.

Speaker A

But I take a lot of these. I think it's a good experience because I rarely sit on the side of the road and sit on a small stool like this, eating bowl-bowl chicken in Chengdu. I feel like this place has a pretty authentic atmosphere.

Speaker A

You can hear many people around me speaking Chinese in a Sichuan accent. It's pretty cool. I recommend this place to everyone.

Speaker A

Especially their tofupok. The bean curd is really flavorful. The place I'm at is called... It's called Cao Tang North Road. I'm going to have a walk nearby. Then we go home because I think I stink all over. I've been out all day.

Speaker A

I just keep walking and walking and walking. I feel like I'm all sticky. I passed by a hair salon and came in

Speaker A

to wash my hair. How much? (Forty.) 40 RMB. I'm so happy. Every time I wash my hair in Malaysia, it costs about RM 60 to 70. I think the cost here is quite reasonable. Hello everyone, it's 9:30 now.

Speaker A

Just now, I arrived home at about 7 o'clock. I was just scrolling my phone,

Speaker A

resting there. I was planning to... I was going to have a supper at home today.

Speaker A

But I didn't expect that Mantou had just gone to the concert. Because Xue Zhiqian wasn't feeling well, the concert was canceled in the middle of the concert. So she asked me to join her for hot pot.

Speaker A

When you come to Chengdu, the number one must-eat is hot pot. I think it's a good idea to have a Chengdu solo trip. But the only thing I can't do is to eat hot pot alone because I think eating hot pot alone

Speaker A

is really lonely. I think it's fine to eat shabu-shabu. But here in Chengdu, the Sichuan hot pots here are all very big portion. It's really weird to eat alone.

Speaker A

It's impossible to eat hot pot alone. It's really sad. It's 9:30 now. I'm going to meet with Mantou

Speaker A

to eat Chengdu's must-try hot pot. Hot pot is very famous in Chengdu. Some of our friends in Chengdu

Speaker A

highly recommend us to eat this hot pot. Let's go! Seeing familiar faces. (The more lines you have, the better your fortune.) Mantou: No one having crush to me. There's a fortune teller outside. Mantou: She is here. Mantou: Listen to her fortune telling.

Speaker A

Mantou: I'm hosting this vlog. (Aigoo, your hand.) (Luckily you're wearing a ring here.) ("Without a ring, you're leaking even more money.) ("Look at this place, it's leaking money.) ("This ring has blocked a lot of wealth.) ("Otherwise, you'd be spending even more money.)

Speaker A

("You're a very good spender.) Really?! ("I think you're a very smart person.) ("Too smart for your own good.) ("Because your line is too long.) ("This line of wisdom.) ("The longer the line, the smarter you are.) ("But it's too long.)
