I enjoyed some delicious street food, including Taiwanese sausage, pork dumplings and Peking Duck. My Mandarin is now good enough that I was able to talk with a man who helped me compare these woks! It was very hot today so along the way I also enjoyed some cold tea. I had a really great time! **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://ali-global-cdn.hellotalk8.com/ht-global/mmnt/2/250728/0/141291997/0/0/36897ce8-2c37-4002-aa3b-68fe10e464b3.aac) *39 likes · 4 comments · 2039 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/EGPUq5OOL1EtHD.md) --- ## 2. 6/30/2025 Today I made Zhajiangmian. I think it came out better than the ones that I’ve had at restaurants lately. What do you think? Does it look authentic? Should I use pork belly or ground pork here? I have used pork belly. **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250629/0/141291997/0/0/27162038-57d2-4dca-82d6-4ad5ca386978.aac) *82 likes · 25 comments · 5405 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/EGVvDFrSZDANHD.md) --- ## 3. 6/26/2025 Tonight’s dinner was stir fried shrimp and soba noodles seasoned with curry, chili, and soy sauce. **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250625/0/141291997/0/0/f8638f01-6996-4cdd-b231-a890e2c334c7.aac) *16 likes · 629 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/IzWFPDvVyNONHD.md) --- ## 4. 6/25/2025 **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250624/0/141291997/0/0/27f71bce-ea09-4c35-95aa-683145a2ef6f.aac) *13 likes · 2 comments · 598 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/MHV2W2VySFxjHD.md) --- ## 5. 6/24/2025 I was in New York last weekend and I noticed these signs. What do you notice about them? **Language**: English *9 likes · 1 comments · 368 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/ImWErMNJO2tjHD.md) --- ## 6. 6/14/2025 What is the best noodle for homemade Zhajiangmian? There are so many different noodles! Are any of these good or does it not matter as long as it is a good wheat noodle? I really enjoy cooking this dish and I’m looking forward to trying it in China! **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250613/0/141291997/0/0/2a24cf6b-828a-49e9-9b6e-8653b30c3540.aac) *23 likes · 6 comments · 1093 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/nUubqvqcFDRjHD.md) --- [View all moments on HelloTalk](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/Michael_from_NY/moments.md) [Back to Michael's profile](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/Michael_from_NY.md) --- ## Language Exchange Partners -
