In today’s video, I dive into the experience of trying to eat at one of China’s most popular and crowded restaurants – as a Black man. I had to wait in line for over 30 minutes just to get a seat, but once I finally made it inside, the attention I received from the locals was unexpected. From people taking pictures of me to being treated like a VIP, it was an experience I’ll never forget.

Watch as I try the famous dish Changfen, a local favorite, while navigating the cultural nuances of being a foreigner in China. What does it feel like to stand out in a country where most people haven’t seen many Black people? How does food and culture bring us together, despite our differences?

Join me for this eye-opening and exciting food adventure in one of the busiest spots in China! Whether you’re curious about life in China, love food, or want to know more about being a Black man abroad, this video has something for you.
