00:02:20 But before you do that, do you know how to turn on the live captioning for zoom?
00:02:29 I think it's at the bottom.
00:02:41 Oh, okay, cool, ha, ha, ha! Oh! You can click the button.
00:02:52 Where is it, I can't find it.
00:02:57 Just click on the live caption and select the full transcript.
00:03:03 Oh, oh, it also saves the transcript.
00:03:08 Oh, cool, that's what I wanted. Oh, that's good to know.
00:03:32 That's so cool.
00:03:37 All right, let's get started. Okay. What kind of mask are you wearing on your face right now.
00:03:42 Netflix?
00:03:42 Face mask.
00:03:54 Let me see my trash can, I threw the mask bag away. Oh, I found it! Dr. Jart, it's really good, it's very effective on dry skin. You can feel the water doing inside your skin okay, the water is moving through your skin.
00:04:35 Okay, cool. Is this an American brand, or is it a Korean brand? Most of the masks come from Korea.
00:04:45 Yeah, it's Korean. I bought it at Yamibuy. Do you have the same concerns, like your face often feels too dry.
00:04:54 Okay. But I haven't used Yamibuy in a long time.
00:05:01 How do you buy Asian goods?
00:05:07 I use Hungry Panda, and they have very fast delivery, same day arrival.
00:05:11 Oh yeah? So is that where you buy all those cosmetics, like those masks or makeup and stuff like that?
00:05:29 Yeah, I buy almost everything from Hungry Panda.
00:05:35 And where do you buy all your daily food and drinks from?
00:05:41 Still Hungry Panda.
00:05:49 Okay. When was the last time you bought your daily necessities?
00:05:56 2 days ago, I bought a lot of stuff, vegetables, fruits, and stuff.
00:06:01 I've used a lot of other sites. For example, like Amazon's Fresh.
00:06:08 I've used that too, but Fresh sometimes they can't ship the same day. But Hungry Panda can guarantee same day delivery. For example, if you buy something in the afternoon, it can be delivered to your doorstep in the evening.
00:06:25 Wow that's great too, I'm going to try this app next time. I just placed an order for salmon today and I'm going to make a salmon for dinner later.
00:06:39 Wow, how are you going to do that?
00:06:42 I usually just microwave the salmon and then put some sauce on it and it's ready to eat. Do you usually cook at home?
00:06:50 Not really, I cook at home when I have time, but I order takeout most of the time hahaha.
00:07:04 Yeah, me too, I think it's too much trouble to cook when I live by myself. When was the last time you cooked at home?
00:07:28 The last time I cooked was when I saw a cooking tutorial online for lemon chicken feet, but I failed at it.
00:07:48 And what else do you usually like to eat?
00:07:54 I generally prefer Asian food, Chinese food, Japanese food, Southeast Asian food I like quite a lot.
00:08:08 Oh oh, I've heard that people in your hometown will often eat rice noodles.
00:08:15 Yes, rice noodles are very easy to make and the locals love them very much and they're always a favorite food morning, noon, and night.
00:08:25 But does it really taste like a South Asian dish?
00:08:34 Yes because my hometown is very close to Thailand Vietnam, so the food flavors are very similar.
00:08:39 Maybe I've heard that. Our hometown food sounds completely different from yours.
00:08:53 Haha every place has its own special food.
00:09:00 Does all the food taste spicy and sour?
00:09:09 Pretty much, but unlike other places we use lemon instead of vinegar, so the sour taste is more refreshing to eat.
00:09:51 Do you have any favorite dishes from your hometown, what do you miss the most?
00:10:12 I really miss the fried potatoes back home.
00:10:18 Potatoes?
00:10:22 Yeah, and fried tofu, it's really good. There was a really good Yunnan restaurant in New York, but it was closed because of the epidemic.
00:10:34 Oh, no! But where can you still eat it.
00:10:41 If you want to try it, you can try it in Florida. That store moved to Miami.
00:10:45 What's the name of that restaurant?
00:10:45 Dian Kitchen.
00:10:49 Which one do you like better than the rice noodle place we had yesterday?
00:10:59 Well, it's definitely Dian Kitchen. Their fried potatoes are really good.
00:11:12 But I think the rice noodle place yesterday was pretty good too.
00:11:12 Hahahaha it's not bad because Dian Kitchen is closed, so this is a good choice.
00:11:40 So is that one yesterday the best Yunnan food in New York?
00:11:47 They don't have fried potatoes or fried tofu, but the rice noodles are still okay. Do you usually like sweet food?
00:12:11 I really like cookies. I can also make muffins. I've made them for Hannah before, about a month ago probably. And they're really good, I made chocolate chips in them and they're no worse than the ones made in the bakery.
00:12:46 Wow that's awesome, I've tried to make cookies and cakes before haha.
00:13:04 Hannah also said last time that the cookies I made were delicious. Next time I make them I can give you a taste.
00:13:15 Wow, that's great!
00:13:15 You can tell me what flavor of cookies you like and I'll make them for you next time.
00:13:22 Thank you.
00:13:32 Do you like chocolate or raspberry-flavored cookies.
00:13:32 I like both haha, what other desserts do you like besides cookies.
00:13:41 I like a lot, I like cupcakes, ice cream, and I like donuts.
00:13:56 Eh? Well, have you tried Mochi mochi's donuts? I'm super into their doughnuts.
00:14:03 No, I think most of the doughnuts in America are pretty sweet.
00:14:09 Theirs are not very sweet, just the right amount of sweetness.
00:14:13 Oh yeah! Then I'm going to try them next time.
00:15:13 Mochi mochi's are pretty good, their donuts are very chewy to eat.
00:15:43 Wow that sounds great! And do you have a favorite flavor that you would recommend?
00:16:27 My favorite flavor of donuts is strawberry.
00:16:33 Eh, do you like strawberries or just like strawberry-flavored desserts?
00:16:46 I don't really like strawberries, but I do like strawberry-flavored desserts, and I think strawberries taste a little bit sour.
00:16:49 Hahaha okay.
00:16:51 I love strawberry-flavored milk very much; it's super good.
00:16:55 Yeah, I love it too! But I haven't found anywhere in the United States that sells strawberry milk.
00:17:13 It seems like it really is, and I haven't seen it in the supermarket either.
00:17:22 I've only seen it once before in an online supermarket, and then I couldn't find it again?
00:17:26 Hahahaha I used to love strawberry milk when I was in junior high school.
00:17:50 Hahaha I didn't find strawberry milk, but I did find strawberry soy milk.
00:17:56 Strawberry-flavored soy milk?
00:18:08 Yes, and it tastes pretty good too hahaha.
00:18:14 Oh yeah, speaking of soy milk, let me show you something.
00:18:21 Eh what's this?
00:18:38 Black tea flavored soy milk hahahahahahaha?
00:18:40 Oh, really! Where can I buy it!
00:18:46 Don't buy it! It's super unpleasant!
00:18:56 Oh, hahahahahaha but it sounds like it's not bad oh.
00:19:04 Yeah, so I placed an order for it at the time and was disappointed with the results.
00:19:15 So maybe it doesn't taste like black tea?
00:19:21 hmmmm, it tastes like black tea, but it tastes like a weird flavor.
00:19:31 Haha but I still kind of want to taste it.
00:19:36 Oh yeah, this one is also on top of Hungry Panda.
00:19:54 You really like to buy things from Hungry Panda. Last time I did, I purchased a Haidilao hotpot from Hungry Panda. It took a whole 6 hours, I waited for hours and I was starving to death.
00:20:30 Yeah, how could it be 6 hours? omg, didn't anyone talk to you about waiting that long?
00:20:39 They told me 2 to 6 hours, so I thought 2 hours would be enough. So I called them and they said it was on its way, so please be patient.
00:21:10 omg, 6 hours you can even take the subway there and eat.
00:21:21 Yeah. Which app do you usually use to order takeout?
00:22:03 I use several, but I usually use UberEats, and sometimes I use Doordash.
00:22:19 Oh? I usually use Chowbus.
00:22:35 Haha I only use Chowbus to order LadyM.
00:22:45 I love their cakes too!
00:22:55 Yes, their cream cakes are really advanced and delicious.
00:23:02 Wow, I'm craving LadyM right now. What's your favorite flavor?
00:23:14 I'm super in love with the pistachio-flavored lasagna.
00:23:20 Oh, I love matcha-flavored lasagna the most.
00:23:49 Did you know that LadyM has some unique flavors in China? China has rose-flavored lasagna.
00:23:53 Oh? Is that right? I didn't know that.
00:23:57 They have a rose flavor that's super delicious and it's my favorite cake.
00:24:05 But did you know that LadyM sells for a lot of money in China, almost 100 yuan.
00:24:12 Yeah, but the conversion to dollars is about right.
00:24:35 Eh? They're still open right now.
00:24:50 Oh? So are you going to order a cake?
00:25:28 Wow this lava chocolate looks so good too. They've got a lot of new flavors, too. There's a coconut cheesecake, and a popcorn flavor.
00:25:50 What's your favorite cake from LadyM?
00:26:23 My favorite is the chocolate and the classic and the Earl Grey tea flavors, what else?
00:27:36 The matcha I don't like. I like matcha quite a bit, but I don't really like most matcha-flavored desserts.
00:27:46 Oh no, I'm super into matcha flavored desserts eh!
00:27:52 I've been to an ice house that specializes in matcha before, and the shaved ice is very good! But I don't like any of the other matcha flavored foods.
00:27:55 Well, we can go to LadyM next time and eat cake together.
00:28:02 Sure! I haven't had a pistachio lasagna in a long time.
00:28:16 I want to try the coconut cheesecake next time.
00:28:23 Are you free Thursday afternoon?
00:28:35 Yes, let's go on Thursday afternoon then.
00:28:39 We've been talking for almost 30 minutes now. That's the end of our interview for today, thank you!
