In the video, she vouches for Meet Freshs products by saying, Meet Fresh from UCLA got really good milk tea, bubble tea, and I love the skinny packaging.

She goes on to highlight tofu puddings health virtues, including its low-sugar recipe, which she claims is are you ready for it the secret to Asian longevity.

Thats why these Asian motherfuckers, they live long. Why would they be reaching like 140 years old [or perhaps 114, the audio isnt exactly the clearest]? Because they dont really use a lot of sugar, she gushed, praising the dessert for its inclusion of beans and recommending it for children.

The shout-out caught the attention of the Taiwanese dessert franchise, which reposted the rap stars story on Instagram andWeibo. Meet Freshs 290,000 followers on the latter were prompted to follow Cardi Bs lead.

Chinese netizens enthusiastically responded to the news. Cardi B has the stomach for Chinese food, reads onecomment.

Another goes, Time to choose an overseas ambassador.

This is far from the first time the American rapper has sounded off on Asian cuisine. In the past, Cardi B has openly shared her impressions ofAsian snacks, fried noodles, and bubble tea.

One of her laudable culinary exploits was samplingchicken feet, a delicacy in many East Asian cultures that many in the West cannot stomach.

Im I the only one that likes them chewy Chinese ginger candy ?

Cardi B has been embraced by Chinese netizens in recent years. In 2020, the chart-topping artist openly praised Chinafor its quarantine practices and how the country handledCovid. In addition, the hip hop star has been a vocal critic of xenophobiain America.

She has become so well-known in China that aShenzhen news stationfeatured a clip of her expressing her concerns about Covid. In response, the star excitedly shared anInstagram postwith the caption, BITCH I DEAD DONE MADE IT IN THE CHINESE NEWS!

We have no idea whether tea, beans, and conservative use of sugar in tofu pudding impact the human lifespan (were not doctors or nutritionists), but Cardi B sure seems excited at the prospect.
