I love how you’re still so respectful and humble every time you visit another country, yet still managing to make conversations not awkward at all. I admire your skill Mike.
This channel is one of those that I don't watch enough to get sick of but it's so consistent that I know every episode is going to be great. Even better to watch when I eat aswell
There’s been a huge change in your videos since moving to Seattle - and I mean that in the best way. You seem more grounded (and I thought you were already a very humble guy), more authentic (you don’t always hype everything up and admit when you’re disappointed which means a lot in the age of social media where EVERYTHING demands to be over celebrated), and you just seem more happy. Keep rocking on Mikey!
hahaha yes! they always lift my spirit too - I love how he eats ANYTHING (ants, insects mixed with fish) soo unique. I love him.. he honestly inspired me to start doing MUKBANGS myself. Trying to be as open minded as him when it comes to food moving forward. He's soo descriptive and entertaining to watch! Strictly Dumplings for life haha!
The lady who is grating the coconut bring back memories of my childhood. We grate coconut the same way years ago when I was still young in the Philippines and boy, I cut my hand the first time. It is a lot of work.
these videos feel like opening a window after a few weeks of being cooped up in my room with depression, they always put a smile on my face even when I'm at my worst
Love your videos! Congrats on your marriage and thank you for all your work. I'll never be able to eat seafood so it's been nice living vicariously through you!
The mango and sticky rice with coconut milk looks so simple and beautiful, but that giant lobster and seafood noodle bowl so amazing, I can't get over it.
I have been watching you’re vids forever actually you were one of the few you tubers I started watching when I got the app you’re so cool and love the 711 vids keep up the great work Chen you literally are the best
Wow.. That thai chef so humble and so close to nature. Respect to the chef 😊btw the sour berry here in Mauritius we call that bilimbi and you can make pickles with it or use it in salads or make a great "compote" with it
I am glad that you had a wonderful time here in Thailand. 😉 There are many many more food and places for you to explore. Come again if you have time. 😀
LOL same, especially with the ants on the fish!! that's BRAVERY at its finest hehe. My MUKBANGS will never be as ambitious as Mikey but dear lord I will try my best to be as open minded as possible after watching this ahha!
Strictly Dumpling is number two of my top three TH-camr’s because he encourages people to get out into the world and try new foods and things much love to strictly dumpling for encouraging my to step out of my comfort zone so I can try new things in life much love
Mike.... My mom used to brew the medicinal stuff at home.... She had this brown earthenware pot that was used specifically for this and OMG.... The house smelled disgusting and it tasted worse.... She always had to chase it with a spoon full of sugar. Otherwise, none of us would take it....lol 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I miss my mom! She made us eat some horrible tasting stuff but she ALWAYS.... ALWAYS.... Had our best interest at heart! ❤️❤️ Can't beat a mom's love!
Oh wow that was fortunate! I’ve been away due to hubby’s illness & finally came back only to be greeted by your video! Thanks Mikey, I was wondering how many of your videos I’d missed but now I’ll spend some time catching up. Have a gorgeous day wherever you are, be safe & keep eating that yummy food 😊🥰
Good thing that I'm eating breakfast when the notification popped up. Won't get hungry watching the video. Hahaha. Much love from the Philippines, Mike!
I’m in tears Mike...I can’t eat seafood ever again, and that looks so good! Picture you favorite food of all time, then you were told you could never eat it again. Yep, that’s exactly how I feel! Sea food, my favorite!🥺
The Muk Bros I’ve had 11 surgeries since Oct 2017. I now have an ileostomy, and during one of my later surgeries, my pancreas was involved..Not only can I no longer digest seafood the way I should, but with having ileostomy, my body has a horrible time passing. All includes pains. I miss it so!
Mary Reynolds omg that’s terrible. Well if you look at the bright side. You are still alive and well today. That’s the most important thing. If that means you can’t eat sea food, then so be it!!! Were always grateful to be able to live another day ❤️
While watching this... I can see a lot of similarities Thailand and Philippine has. I am a filipino. Their wet market are almost like in the Philippines except maybe the type of fish and also the way they grate the coconut meat, we have that tooo!!! ❤️❤️❤️
These berries are star gooseberries and my absolute fav!! My mouth is watering just thinking abt it since I can’t find it in the US, I miss them so much (10 years since I last ate them).. Eat them with crushed chilies and salt 🤤🤤🤤
The fruit that you said is sour is called Gooseberry 3:58. In my country we used it to make jam and pickle it. For the jam all you need is sugar and food coloring and boil it till it get thick. You can eat just like that. As for the pickle you can eat it like that or with some pepper.
Had to be this early even though I’m only in the process of watching. Love your content Mr Chen. Wishing you would do more airline reviews on your other channel.
@@carterward1449 he has a couple actually there is a review one with his friends and then his original one I started watching about science and paranormal stuff if you go into his older vids he use to have links for them
Let me see food especially extremely large seafood is my kind of jam You're so lucky to get to do all this traveling and eating everything always looks delicious
@@masknzgamer it's a non alcoholic drink. It's a required taste which most foreigners find it weird. It's kind of sour but not like lemon or lime. It's kind of hard to explain lol.
Hi Mike Chen, it's so good to see you again and you're in Thailand again, that's so cool! Thai foods looks so good that you must try it when you come to Thailand. Great food travelling video and like always your videos really inspirational! 😉👊
Hi Mikey, Can you provide the address to the place where you had the lobster rice noodle? The last place visited in this video. Don't think I saw the info in your description box. Thanks!
"If I only was a panda right now." Honestly a mood. You know thailand looks like those artworks where humanity is gone and the greens have taken over our remains, but you know, people are still alive. Looks everything is just worn with greens all over the place, kinda like archaic?
The native women from their respective lands are always the best of chef's😋 great food's and also fantastic dish presentation as well. The crickets are a bit over the top for me' but I'd bet that they made even that taste great. 😊😎
Thanks for commenting so early! The early bird gets the...no wait...I ate it
LMAO
Strictly Dumpling I thought those were French fries
@@FlaccidPlatypus nice one mikey
Haha, I would too.
you should check out this series on netflix called Street Food if you haven't already XD feels like it'd be your kind of show :P
I love seeing how happy and proud the people are serving you their food. A smile really is the universal language. 😃

These videos never fail to lift my spirits. I was having a rough nite working on my thesis, and seeing this video completely turned it around.

Can we take a moment of silence for the dropped sticky rice?😢
How long?
That was for the homies who ain't no longer with us.

Pick it up and fuck your suggestions
I made myself watch you eating the bugs, and I give you all honors for doing it without puking. You’re a good man.
Mike, you are a part of my everyday life and I truly enjoy your videos. You’re a class act!
The mango and sticky rice with coconut milk looks so simple and beautiful, but that giant lobster and seafood noodle bowl so amazing, I can't get over it.

i think this is the most green leaves i've ever seen you eat in a video
Vicariously living through these vids, someday I’ll see these places and try all this great food
You came back! THAILAND 🇹🇭...WELCOME
Your videos transport me every time! It’s like I’m there too! Thanks for the awesome video :)
Wow, I would love to try that huge bowl of seafood noodle soup. Looks delicious!
I’m in tears Mike...I can’t eat seafood ever again, and that looks so good! Picture you favorite food of all time, then you were told you could never eat it again. Yep, that’s exactly how I feel! Sea food, my favorite!🥺
why can't you eat seafood anymore mary?
How does it come about that you can’t eat seafood again?
The Muk Bros
I’ve had 11 surgeries since Oct 2017. I now have an ileostomy, and during one of my later surgeries, my pancreas was involved..Not only can I no longer digest seafood the way I should, but with having ileostomy, my body has a horrible time passing. All includes pains. I miss it so!

Everything looked delicious..except the bugs! I would have to pass on that part of the tour. ;)
While watching this... I can see a lot of similarities Thailand and Philippine has. I am a filipino. Their wet market are almost like in the Philippines except maybe the type of fish and also the way they grate the coconut meat, we have that tooo!!! ❤️❤️❤️
These videos are addictive afff🙌🏻

20:08 made me laugh so bad, thank you for being you Mike!!
SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN A TV SHOW
Lol. How many people know what you're referring to when you say "Jiminy" whilst talking about crunchy crickets?
👋 Guilty as charged.
Yep, poor Jiminy 😭 lol
I could literally see him flash through my mind.
@@jl1741 😂😂
@@jl1741 Right???

the berry you just tried is called caramay here in the 🇵🇭 and we make it preserved or candied it taste better.🙂
The papaya salad looks so yummy 🤤
Love the video's you're great with the camera & all the enthusiasm for the foods & showmanship on the channel.
When Mike is sweating, you know for sure it is spicy🔥🔥!
I really like your videos. You have an unlimited capacity to eat!!
Omg im drooling! Ive eaten home made versions of most of the dishes you've tried except for the bugs.
Had to be this early even though I’m only in the process of watching. Love your content Mr Chen. Wishing you would do more airline reviews on your other channel.

What is his other channels name ?

@@carterward1449 He has 6 channels. Eat with Mikey, Beyond Science, Pho the love of food, Mikey Chen, The Chen Dynasty and this channel.
Let me see food especially extremely large seafood is my kind of jam You're so lucky to get to do all this traveling and eating everything always looks delicious
the drink is called “น้ำกระเจี๊ยบ” (Roselle juice)
its an addictive drink!
Is it alcoholic?
@@masknzgamer it's a non alcoholic drink. It's a required taste which most foreigners find it weird. It's kind of sour but not like lemon or lime. It's kind of hard to explain lol.
@@pat7244 interesting... I might try it someday. I've always been a sour guy myself. I hate salt(unless it's necessary for the food to taste good)
Hi Mike Chen, it's so good to see you again and you're in Thailand again, that's so cool! Thai foods looks so good that you must try it when you come to Thailand. Great food travelling video and like always your videos really inspirational! 😉👊
Thanks Jade!
I love your channel,never a dull moment,love all the food...you are so engaging!!
So you know? Yeah I know, but I dont know....but I pretended I knew 😂😂😂 Actually made me laugh out loud 😂 love your videos!
I literally binge watch strictly dumplings everyday
I did until I literally ran out of episodes.
It's amazing y'all don't die of starvation
Honestly me too its so comforting.
one cannot resist giant lobster...I can understand you Mike...great video
@3:50 we got that here in Trinidad, call it sour cherries, usually eaten soaked in salt, hot pepper and culantro. awesome childhood snack
Where is the giant lobster dish from...? Not sure which link.
Usually I am so relaxed when I watch you eat but the bugs put me on edge lmao
Love ur Channel Mike
The drink you had with Tom yam which Peter recommended. It's Roselle drink well Thai ver kind of tea so it's nicer than regular Roselle syrup drink.
How do you know which stalls are clean. And reputable?
I'd recommend Philippine mangoes from the island of Guimaras
Hi Mikey,
Can you provide the address to the place where you had the lobster rice noodle? The last place visited in this video. Don't think I saw the info in your description box.
Thanks!
So jealous! I love Chef Book, and getting to see both of my favorite people together. ❤️
She likes that you gave her outside attention by the way!
Mango sticky rice the best food invention of the century!!
Those sour berries are also found in bangladesh. They call them Noelle, love those, I'd kill to go back during that season to have more!
"If I only was a panda right now."
Honestly a mood. You know thailand looks like those artworks where humanity is gone and the greens have taken over our remains, but you know, people are still alive. Looks everything is just worn with greens all over the place, kinda like archaic?
So Many things to do on my Bucket List because of Mike 💪🏼👌🏻
If I ever go to any of these places, can I hug these people? Because if I love the food and their customs; I will be going in for a hug!
The native women from their respective lands are always the best of chef's😋 great food's and also fantastic dish presentation as well. The crickets are a bit over the top for me' but I'd bet that they made even that taste great. 😊😎
Great video. No doubt Thailand is a must visit. Tops the world's best cusine for me
