As usual, at the end of a certain post each day, there’s a little “Easter egg” with love and a surprise, so go find it!

If we’re talking about which Western celebrity loves Chinese food the most, it’s probably Cardi B.

As America’s hottest female rapper, a famous sketch comedy performer, and a rooster-crowing expert, Cardi B also has an important role—a dedicated mukbang streamer.

From the end of 2019 to the pandemic period, Teacher Ka, who had nothing to do at home, won praise from Chinese foodies for her skillful chicken feet eating technique.That day, Teacher Ka didn’t say a single word during the livestream, but 10 million fans from all over the world still watched her munch through one chicken foot after another.

Back then, the “inexperienced” Western fans were shocked: What are you eating! That’s so gross!

Perhaps as the first female celebrity to eat chicken feet on a live stream and clean them to the bone, Ms. Ka’s video went viral across the internet.

Chinese netizens, seeing how much Ms. Ka loved the chicken feet, recommended many other Chinese foods to her.Cardi B took a photo with a Chinese chef.

Today, Cardi B once again showed off some unexpected Chinese local specialties on Instagram, making people can’t help but say—truly you, the Asian food promotion expert.

This afternoon, Cardi B first chugged bubble tea in the car, yep, from that familiar spot we all know.

As she filmed, she explained: Not only is their milk tea delicious, but I also really love the cup design.

I thought that was all of Teacher Ka’s adventures as a Chinese food blogger, but then she posted three more videos shortly after. This time, she had a bowl of taro balls from the same place.

Maybe because every time she ate Chinese food before, biased netizens would say it looked ugly or gross, Teacher Ka got ahead of herself and explained the magic of taro balls to her foreign followers.

“This thing that looks like tea jelly has mochi on top and sweet beans inside. It might look weird, but it’s really tasty!”

Why is Teacher Ka considered an expert in promoting Asian cuisine? Because she doesn’t just praise how good the taro balls are, but also claims they’re the secret to Asians living a long life:

“If you have kids who love sweets, just give them this. Taro balls are sweet, but they don’t have that much sugar. Let me tell you, that’s why Asians live so long.”

Not only does she want her fans to eat them, but she also wants their kids to eat them too. I bet her daughter Kaoque’er is already on it.

Cardi B keeps passionately promoting: “You know why Asians live to 140? Because they don’t eat that much sugar! Plus, they pair everything with healthy stuff like tea and beans. This thing is so delicious, you guys gotta try it.”

Asians watching this video are totally shocked—wait, I can live to 140? And we live longer because we love milk tea and taro balls?Even more interesting, Ms. Ka was obediently eating low-cal salad and yogurt mixed with fruit at one meal, then gulping down bubble tea and scarfing down taro balls the next. It’s like looking at myself, saying I want to lose weight but still can’t stay away from sweets.

But according to Ms. Ka’s theory, anything Asian that has tea in it is healthy. Okay, my guilt is completely erased.Actually, Teacher Ka’s love for Chinese food goes far beyond what people imagine. Take eating chicken feet, for example. Some might think she just takes a small bite and doesn’t really enjoy it. That couldn’t be further from the truth!

The chicken feet element keeps popping up on Teacher Ka’s Instagram. After wolfing down braised chicken feet, she even pairs them with fried rice:While having roast chicken with her husband Offset, the knowledgeable Cardi B grabbed the chicken neck and claws, munching on them with great relish and intense focus. Offset, with his slightly narrow view on food, couldn’t understand and just sat there in silent shock the whole time.— Offset: “What are you eating? Is that a hand?”

— Card: “It’s chicken feet, you idiot. If you want some, I’ll make more for you.”

Offset’s expression upon hearing this invitation was like this:He couldn’t say it out loud, he found it super gross. Teacher Ka just chuckled and turned back to happily munching away. Who missed out on the delicious food? Teacher Ka won’t say.If Teacher Ka’s skill of nibbling chicken feet and spitting out bones has already surpassed 99% of Americans, then her ability to peel crayfish has reached the level of performance art.

After all, even a Chinese person wearing super-long extensions like Teacher Ka’s would have their performance affected.This time, Cardi B went live with Offset again, and she was on a roll—first pulling off the shrimp heads, then slurping the juice off the shells, making sure to suck out the roe from the heads, and finally peeling the shells to eat the shrimp.Seeing Cardi B happily sucking on the shrimp shells, Offset—whose food horizons are a bit narrow—was shocked again. He asked his wife, “Why are you sipping that juice? Isn’t there shrimp poop in there?”

Cardi B patiently explained, “There’s meat in here,” then while sucking on the shell, she said, “But this juice is really tasty. Do you want some?” She then held out the shrimp she had just peeled and offered it to Offset.

Offset was like: Nah, I’m good.After Offset declined, Cardi B quickly popped the peeled shrimp into her own mouth, and judging by the speed, it probably wasn’t meant for Offset to eat in the first place.Just from the way Cardi B is so spot-on with promoting Asian food, I have a feeling that one day Offset will totally come around and love it too.Chinese food is not just a pastime for me; it’s my soul. Last year, Ms. Ka went to Mexico for a performance and stayed there for a few days, eating Mexican food every day.

At first, Ms. Ka was happily posting pictures, but after a few meals of Mexican food, she went into a frenzy, going live on Instagram and shouting, “I need rice! I’m so done with Mexican food, I want rice!” She even said she felt like charging into any random Chinese restaurant for a bowl of rice.

Eating Western food for too long makes you desperately crave Chinese food—it’s just like me after not even two days abroad…

And not only does she eat in a very Chinese style, but she also makes all kinds of things that resemble Chinese food. The most common is the rice that Ms. Ka can’t live without.

She’s made pork chop rice, chicken drumstick rice, and salmon rice bowls:

Spare ribs with fried rice, plus a piece of sweet potato. This kind of combination is really hard to see on a Westerner’s dinner table.Although the fried rice looks pretty good, the side dishes are always bizarrely combined, to the point that Chinese netizens joke that Cardi B eats like she’s at a domestic university cafeteria every day:

Teacher Ka’s rice cooking skills are pretty impressive—each grain is distinct and the heat seems just right. Even Uncle Roger would approve.Teacher Ka not only loves eating rice, she also loves noodles.

For example, today we’re having big steamed buns at home (recognize people by their nails):Tomorrow we’re having shrimp siu mai, and Sister Ka said she made it herself.

Wow, probably many Chinese netizens don’t even know how to make it…Eat spring pancakes the day after tomorrow:Some more spring rolls:Just kimchi:And that instant noodle soup that only gets made when the parents are home, with a poached egg added. Too real:I also love stir-fried vermicelli. I make a huge bowl of it, and everyone in the family serves themselves whatever they want with it—it’s like a buffet.Asia’s desserts are especially irresistible to Card姐.

Everyone knows that Teacher Card loves eating Chinese ginger candy:It’s this kind of soft candy, rarely seen even in the north:She has a good relationship with the Asian nail technician, so the technician’s son even brought her a lot of Asian snacks. There were pandan leaf coconut sago cakes and Thai-style sweet egg yolk shreds:There were long zongzi and not-so-authentic Beijing roast duck, but Teacher Ka still enjoyed them a ton:Finally, Teacher Ka’s favorite: a homemade candied hawthorn stick that’s not transparent at all, made by a friend’s son. Teacher Ka doesn’t mind, crunching through them one by one.And to finish it off, a cup of milk tea, how delightful!Honestly, I’ve spotted at least four different bubble tea brands on Teacher Ka’s Instagram—now that’s the true exploratory spirit of a hardcore milk tea lover!Teacher Ka’s exploration of food continues. One day, she scored a bowl of beef offal from her dad and posted it on Twitter with a passionate recommendation: “Is there anyone besides me who likes eating this?”Generously included with a high-definition showcase, I have to say this place really gives a generous amount of beef tripe—it’s making me crave it!However, many netizens had no idea what it was and kept saying that the offal looked disgusting.Some people even say this is Mexican food, not Chinese food. Sister Ka isn’t buying it and replies, “I’ve never heard that before, I just call it beef offal.”By the way, the menudo this netizen mentioned is a pretty tasty Mexican dish, also made with beef offal, but the soup is thicker and spicier, usually cooked with beans.

Teacher Ka’s bowl only has beef offal, and the soup is relatively mild, so it should be different.It’s safe to say that Miss Ka has done quite a bit of research on Asian cuisine. Once, while eating a mango, she brought out chili powder and sprinkled it on top—a heavenly way to eat it that only people from Guangxi in China and many parts of Southeast Asia really get!Card Teacher: Sprinkle some chili peppers to feel refreshed and energized.She once went to the supermarket to buy tamarind for herself and her dad, and even asked netizens for other Asian snack recommendations. She planned to try them all, and was like, “Waiting online, kinda urgent.”Fans from all over Asia enthusiastically recommended things to Teacher Ka. For example, Singapore’s salted egg yolk chips—Teacher Ka said she would definitely buy some to try.Some netizens recommended taiyaki, and Teacher Ka seems to have already tried it, saying it’s her nail technician’s son’s favorite snack:Of course, the nomination naturally includes China’s divine sauce, Laoganma:Also, there’s this guava candy from Guangdong. If anyone’s tried it, can you comment and tell me if it’s good or not?This domestic brown sugar pearl ice cream has also been recommended:In the Instagram posts Teacher Ka later shared, she ate Japanese caramel popcorn snacks and mochi dumplings, saying she wanted to try even more kinds in the future.

The food that Teacher Ka gave a shoutout to has not only become a hot topic in the U.S. but also got netizens from the place of origin totally obsessed. Just think about how delicious she made it look!

If this keeps up, it wouldn’t be surprising if next time we see the “Asian Food Promotion Master” boiling hotpot at home~****Recommended Reading▼
