Thanks for bearing with me last week with the subtitles! I've edited the automatic captions so they should be exactly the same as what is said in the video. So feel free to press the 'CC' button to translate the video in to your language of choice (I've got Chinese simplified, traditional, and even some other languages like German and French too! Let me know how this works, and if there are any other languages you'd like the video available in xoxo

As an American born Hakka person, I appreciate learning the history behind some of the foods I grew up eating. Thank you for helping understand the history of my family's culture better.

Hakka Australian here, so glad to see you guys in my ancestral home. Peter is right, my ancestors migrated hundred years ago from Henan. The dishes you have are so typical of Hakka dishes and here in Australia Mum has to grow her own vegetable to make 梅菜 that goes with the pork belly. Miss those Hakka noodles with red yeast rice soup.

Amy's best shows include plenty on the local life, culture, history, and architecture. Add a knowledgeable guest host and it's a winning formula. Two thumbs up for this program!

Peter is amazing! He is knowledgeable and fabulously engaging… please do more food adventures together all over China and the world!🌍

It is so exciting how everything looks. I feel seen as I am watching this. You are in my "element". I am a Hakka descendant and, luckily, still speak the language. I grew up eating these dishes, or versions of it. My favorite two are the salty chicken and the pork belly... yummy... Hakka people are spread out throughout the world: you will find many of us in Southeast Asia, like in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and also in Central and South America.

Hi Aimee. It’s Ken here from Melbourne. We never did meet due to my work. One of your earlier viewers. I’m a Hakka Malaysian who now lives in Melbourne with roots traceable to Meizhou. Great video!

Great video Amy and Peter! You two make great vlogs together!

as a hakka in singapore who's not that connected to my roots, this was a really eye-opening video to watch and thoroughly enjoyed it!

The Blondie & Peter dynamic is so fun to watch. 😊

[angelameredith]

This was so interesting!! Not only do I love the food!!! But it is so satisfying to learn more about the complexities of Chinese culture! Just incredible!!! I loved information on food was eaten because of having to move and be changed

Hakka descendant from Indonesia, but live in Aussie here. Growing up eating the pork belly with mustard and yan mian make me miss so much watching this as living in Sydney is hard to find these dishes

This may be my favorite episode you’ve made. Really awesome explanations of the culture, food, and architecture and how they are all tied together. Just fantastic stuff, Amy! ❤❤❤
