After arriving in New York City, I needed some CHINESE FOOD! So, I headed to Flushing to meet up with my friend Xiao Ma an incredible content creator who is famous for shocking people with his mind-blowing language proficiency skills!

XING FU TANG: Here, we tried a medium brown sugar boba milk. They used a blowtorch to crystallize the brown sugar on top, making almost like creme brûlée. It was exceptionally sweet and rich!
SALTY DUCK EGG: This street food treat was like a soft-boiled egg, with a bit of runny yolk. It also lived up to its name, as it was very salty!
ROASTED CHESTNUTS: I love these roasted, smoky snacks. You can get them from street food vendors all over the world, including NYC!
XIAOLONGBAO: This is a traditional pork soup dumpling from Shanghai. It usually comes boiling hot, so you have to nibble a tiny hole in it and sip out the juice before putting it in your mouth!
YOUTIAO: Youtiao is a fried, savory breadstick that you usually dip into soy milk. I had this dish in Shanghai back in 2019. It’s fluffy but filling!
MALA SIBLINGS: Here, we tried an assortment of duck parts (feet, neck, and head) coated in Szechwan numbing spices. They were spicy and completely numbed my lips and tongue!
PASTRIES: We got a Portuguese egg custard, a Hong Kong egg custard, and a pineapple bun at a local Cantonese bakery, as well as a coffee. The bun was fluffy and sweet, with a crispy and buttery crust on the outside. Both egg custards were creamy and melted in my mouth, but I liked the Hong Kong one a little more!
FOOD COURT: Here, we enjoyed some classic noodles, and a Chinese burger made with lamb. The noodles were cold and cut thick, and spicy. I also loved the lamb burger, which had a flaky and crispy bun, and tender, juicy, and flavorful lamb meat inside. We finished with an herbal drink that’s the most popular soft drink in China!

Enjoyed this video bro. I like the more relaxed, unplanned vibes.
I noticed that a fair share of the graphics showing the names of the foods were tagged with "Miami." Some were tagged correctly with "NYC." It was confusing to me at first. But, then, I realized that the inclusion of "Miam" must have been an error in editing that was allowed to reoccur. Obviously, David and Xiaoma are in Flushing, New York and not in Miami.
My kind of food tour!
Awesome collab.
Been waiting for this
Hi David. Just finished watching this video and I am going to be very honest with you. Some parts of the video I loved and some I didn't. Some of the Chinese food left a lot to be desired but I loved the bao, noodles, the lamb burger and the pastries. Wish they had put some pineapple in the bun. The reason why the tea or coffee is piping hot is to dissolve all the fat in the foods that you eat. All in all, I liked the video but I really expected better food. Just being brutally honest. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing what else you and Nathan did in NYC. ❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦
what a combo
Bingbuzz got the hidden spots in flushing
Xiaoma seemed to like sharing food and straw with David 😆
Great video. Xioama is about languages and not really a foodie. He empathizes how languages bring people together and break down barriers. Different video styles but both great.
👍🙂👍

Why david forget india completely 🥹🥹
Their was a time he used to make video on india frequently now looks like he dont like it
2 of my favorite Youtubers. Different video, but not complaining. But when you said Shukran, it clearly shows you missing the Middle East, or Mr Taster for that matter… LOL
Beautiful area to experience Asian culture n food❤
Hey David from where can get your sauce and what is the name exactly???
David, those are not duckleggs, but chickenleggs. I know because I cook it regurally.
Is it just me, or was the chemistry off between y'all? Your other collabs were much better and I wish he took you a little further off the beaten path of main street because there's some real gems a little further away
I missed you in Flushing. I was there too. Enjoy. Stay safe.
Great tour of Flushing!! By the way, I love your watch! I have the same one!

Sweet ring bro.
ZOMG my two fav Youtubers in one video. This is EPIC! YAY! You guys made my day! Greetings from Ukraine!
David … some of these foods you are eating improperly and misrepresented in their usage… please don't make the mistake of misinformation or misrepresentation of cultural foods and how they are used in culinary cuisine.
this kid is the best! Shocking the world with his fluent mandarin priceless!
That guy is soooo gayish.🙄🙄
EPIC COLLAB! 🇨🇳🇺🇸
At first I was like “why isn’t he eating” but then I remembered his channel
You need a new editor. Constantly making mistakes on the graphics with the incorrect cities.
Love Flushing & your videos
How do you have someone with you for a food tour but doesn't know what salted duck eggs are
You need to eat that salty duck egg with white rice or congee yum
