Dim Sum is honestly just one of those all time classic comforting moments where people/friends/family get together and eat delicious food. I love how there's an AYCE option which is great for those who love these dishes but can't get enough of it! Great share Mike!! The Abalone Siu Mai looked insane!!
Dont stress too much about the time limit! Its generally sufficient to have a proper meal, even if you exceed a little they don’t chase you out. Unless you’re there for hoursssss then they might remind you.😅 Most of the time they don’t actually track you by the minute.
Some places have high turnover so they do rush you out, not uncommon in some Asian cities. People are polite but you can tell they are ready to clean your table the second you get up.
It as 3:30 in the morning. I didn't think I was hungry, but you proved me wrong. Singapore is all about the food. If I lived there I would have to walk during the summer in the middle of the day to sweat away all of the food I would be eating.
Yes, in the Philippines the elders love native chicken because they are tastier. The problem is that the meat is more fibrous and you need to really boil them to be tender... but the texture won't be the same as lightly cooked normal white chicken.
I just love your videos. I'm trying not to be sad as I eat my late night bowl of cereal watching this. Hot and sour soup is my favorite as well. My friend who owned a restaurant in Chicago's China Town when I was a kid would make me eat a bowl of it each time I came in. She said it was healthy for me. She also got me addicted to long beans.
Most of us Americans absolutely do NOT know how to order Dim Sum. Loving this "educational" tutorial...which would be Great! Make a Dim Sum tutorial, Mike 😁!
Eating your way to heaven, Mikey! Man, I wish I could easily visit Singapore again. Lived there for several years in my youth. Those buffets are so far superior and ubiquitous than those in SoCal, it's just not fair!

Meng, do you realize how far you've come? I swear I remember you trying durian for the first time and then later hearing you say "The durian in this country just tastes better." You once said you didn't eat prawn heads and then I watch you say they're delicious. You once said you never eat sushi. We've seen you eat sushi 1,000 times since. Wow! Go you! Try that stinky tofu again 🤣
I love the dim sums here at Chinese restaurants. Three quarters of a century ago, tiny things ( dim sums) won't fill us, children up so we had those bigger steamed bread like Mapao with a thick slice of beef, Siopao with ground meat and whole salted egg, or Chaipao filled with sweetened vegetables either to eat at Chinatown, Manila or to go after seeing movie in Avenda Rizal or in Azcarraga.
Hi Mike, you forgot to turn on the closed captioning. I'm bilateral deaf with 2 rare illnesses caused by Breast Cancer. I love all your videos and places where have been eating. Thank you. Wishing you and Christine the very best of everything, smiles of happiness, and abundant blessings now and forever.
@@ndb_1982 I always turn on the captioning. Some videos don't give you captions. It's not my first time watching his videos. Don't treat me like a fool.
Oh my goooooooooosh the AYCE Dim Sum buffet you did in Singapore a few years ago is my favourite of your videos and the place I'm determined to make it to one day - this video makes me so happy! I was hoping you'd find more Dim Sum buffets! Thanks for your amazing content as always Mikey. Really loving these videos in Singapore. Hope you and Christine are both well ❤️
I think I’ve figured it out! If Mike’s camera is positioned from an angle, he has company. If it’s directly in front of him, means he’s eating alone lol.
Dang I wish I could tag along lol your descriptions are vivid and you always seem to find the best spots! Looking forward to more series like this. Thanks Mike!
I just love your videos! But I really miss all your friends. I always enjoyed the great interaction you have with your friends and enjoying meals together. I hope you can see them again.
Looking forward to this! Keep up the good work Mikey!!!😊 You need to do one of these buffet visits live one of these days! Sure to be a special episode. I love all the pro tips, so Asian!
Thank you ❤ Your videos help me get through my issues with chronic pain and digestive issues. I have painful ibs, that means I cannot eat most of these foods. That along with my coconut allergy too, so I really love to see all the amazing stuff you eat! Thank you again for sharing with us all. 🎉😊
How does Mike, who is Chinese, not know about Lao Mu Ji Tang, and how amazing the broth is but the chicken gets incredibly hard. Sometimes I question how much he really knows.
As always you are making me hungry ☺️. Everything looks so good. I've gotten better at making my dumplings thanks to your videos. As always,stay safe, take care and enjoy your lives,from your biggest fan from Arkansas 👍🏻☺️❤️
HE IS CORRECT ON THE CHICKEN!!!! A type you only use to make soup. It's different in size too. They are slim with not much meat and everything is tougher then regular chicken. The skin is chewier also. Lovely flavour. You should know this already!!!
looks so good! thanks for informing us about the food, Mike! Btw, you have had avocado ice cream before, from the Philippines when you had the lechon with your friends Then again you forget with all the amazing food you are eating ^^
Singapore is an economic hub. We have all major credit cards here. Visa and Mastercards are the way to go. Cashless payment is the norm here although stores in hawker centres do still rely heavily on cash.
Nice intro to two different buffets! I agree that both of them are worth a stop, depening on the occasion! The difference in price is certainly reflected in the quality & selection of the dishes.
Most buffets especially in America are not pleasant, people have rioted fighting for crab legs, people fighting on the ground, man and woman slugging it out, beware when the server brings out the bowls, all he'll breaks loose no civilized America anymore , we never come near those places!
I asked this before but never got an answer. Is it a custom in Singapore for all restaurants to have a time limit or is it just at certain restaurants?
It's not just Singapore, many buffets/all you can eat places around the world have a time limit. Otherwise some people would abuse it and just sit there and eat the whole day.
Dim Sum is making me so hungry! Also MIKEY! Did you see Japan is reopening in a few weeks for tourists? I'm headed there next month and I can't wait to see what 7-11 foods are still there that you recommended!
I already made my choice, I am going with the $16 buffet because I don't want to wait 20 minutes for my dim sum. Yea, its super fancy at the $62 buffet but the wait is unacceptable. When I see that, I presume they're trying to slow down the ordering. Its like the AYCE sushi places that maybe get out 3 or 4 orders within their time limit.
I went to Jing Fung in NYC Chinatown yesterday, they still come around with the cart. was such a lovely experience! My MIL reminded me 飲茶 (dim sum) is supposed to last for hours as my husband and I gorged down baskets of food. 🤣
Yeah. Out of curiosity, I typed "mike chen shorts" in the search bar wondering if it'll lead me to anything. Didn't know that really IS the name of the channel.
Dim sum is a Thing Of Beauty in my world, and you've got me wanting to see if there's a good dim sum joint here in Dallas that I can go to some time soon! I hope the restaurant didn't get after you for whipping out your own hot oil? Soup dumplings are one of my favorite things in life, further.

This made me crave dim sum so much! It looked delicious. The tofu and shrimp wraps looked delicious as did the steamed buns
It's a crime that I'm watching this instead of eating all these amazing dishes. Strong work.
Looking forward to this! Keep up the good work Mikey!!!😊
You need to do one of these buffet visits live one of these days! Sure to be a special episode. I love all the pro tips, so Asian!
Where is this place
Let's start a drinking game. Everytime Mike says "it's one of my favorite", you have a shot. Let's feel sorry for our livers!! :)
I live in Singapore but he seems to know more food places than I do 😭
Oh no 🤣🤣🤣
I don't think so.
@@claretheworm I didn't even know these dim sum buffet places existed 😔😔
Use Google lol

OMG look so amazingly tasty! thank you so much for sharing Mikey
Pulling out your own sauce at a restaurant? Classy.
Well Yeah it's good sauce.
Don't worry, I bring my food !
@@acswu2617 this made me laugh 😂
That's a hood classic where I'm from.. if they don't have the sauce you need, supply your own. They're still getting paid for the food and service.
Where do you buy that hot oil? 😊
How does Mike, who is Chinese, not know about Lao Mu Ji Tang, and how amazing the broth is but the chicken gets incredibly hard.
Sometimes I question how much he really knows.
he knows pretty much nothing tbh
As always you are making me hungry ☺️. Everything looks so good. I've gotten better at making my dumplings thanks to your videos. As always,stay safe, take care and enjoy your lives,from your biggest fan from Arkansas 👍🏻☺️❤️
Dim sum looks so delicious! Awesome video Mike!
HE IS CORRECT ON THE CHICKEN!!!! A type you only use to make soup. It's different in size too. They are slim with not much meat and everything is tougher then regular chicken. The skin is chewier also. Lovely flavour. You should know this already!!!
I wish I had the confidence to go eat out more on my own like you do. You make me have more confidence to do so. Thanks
Nevermind eating out on his own, to the people around him, he’s actually talking to himself! Well, to a camera, but must still seem strange. 😅
I do it all the time,just do it!! Enjoy yourself!
I think his wife is often with him especially in the evening meals but he just doesnt show her, making him look alone.
@@Bee0613, that's true since he got married, but before he met his wife, he was usually solo when he dined out.
I really enjoy you video from all over the world.
Would love to spend a day with Mike on a food journey 😊😋
I will be headed to singapore next month, now I'll know where to visit and explore new cuisines
I don't know why but I love watching this guy eat,
*yeah I heard it when I said it
Dim Sum + Mikey = GOOD VIDEO!
Love to try both Buffets....all dishes looks so enticing n worth the $$ spent.👍😍😋 Great recommendation n suggestions, great work Mikey👌👏🤩
Mike Chen, Thank you for adding the captioning. I appreciate your thoughtfulness! Now I can watch this video.
I wish you would have put the names of restaurants in your description 😭 I want to go there too!
Where are the places? Lol you said you'd mention them in the description and they aren't there
looks so good! thanks for informing us about the food, Mike!
Btw, you have had avocado ice cream before, from the Philippines when you had the lechon with your friends
Then again you forget with all the amazing food you are eating ^^
Both buffets are fantastic in their respective prices but the cheaper one is a better value😋❣
I am considering going to singapore next year. How much cash do you recommend taking? Or do most places take card? Thank you
Singapore is an economic hub. We have all major credit cards here. Visa and Mastercards are the way to go. Cashless payment is the norm here although stores in hawker centres do still rely heavily on cash.
Today, Mike tries two different dim sum buffets at two drastically different price points to see, which one is the most worth it.
Nice intro to two different buffets! I agree that both of them are worth a stop, depening on the occasion! The difference in price is certainly reflected in the quality & selection of the dishes.
Love your videos❤
I am always here for a dim sum video!
Love this all you can eat videos so many variations ❤
Loved this place, food looked phenomenal. Thanks for taking us along Mikey.💯❤️👍🏾🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Awesome job Mikey.

Wow the food looked so tasty and what a pleasant experience getting served so quickly by a food train! 😆😁

More awesome Singapore food video! I wish we have a decent dim sum buffet in LA area but no dice, oh well. Thanks for another great video Mikey! :D
Most buffets especially in America are not pleasant, people have rioted fighting for crab legs, people fighting on the ground, man and woman slugging it out, beware when the server brings out the bowls, all he'll breaks loose no civilized America anymore , we never come near those places!
OMG MIkE i feel like i havent seen you in awhile am so happy
Mike, can you do a hotel/hotel food series in Singapore like you did with Vegas?
I asked this before but never got an answer. Is it a custom in Singapore for all restaurants to have a time limit or is it just at certain restaurants?
It's not just Singapore, many buffets/all you can eat places around the world have a time limit. Otherwise some people would abuse it and just sit there and eat the whole day.
Here in Canada the average is 2 hours in almost the buffets.
@@blackcurrentjuice24 It's just odd to me because I've never been to a restaurant or AYCE and told only have so much time.
@@RCGJR_ That's just weird to me. I eat at buffets often and never heard of a time limit. Maybe in the states it's by restaurant choice?
(Singaporean here) not all restaurants have a time limit!!
I’m impressed with how much food you can eat. I wish that my appetite was that good. I always order too much and get full.
Dim Sum is making me so hungry! Also MIKEY! Did you see Japan is reopening in a few weeks for tourists? I'm headed there next month and I can't wait to see what 7-11 foods are still there that you recommended!
Egg sandwich still my favorite at 7-11. In LA there are several restaurants offering Japanese style sandwiches.🤣🤣

Hey Bear Face 🐻
Hello 👋
Have you toured mainland china ? Can’t remember seeing any of that
He's not welcome in China. For various reasons. He's rightfully a big critic of the Chinese government.
I don't think he and his family would fare well in China. Can't speak freely about the CCP when in China.
I already made my choice, I am going with the $16 buffet because I don't want to wait 20 minutes for my dim sum. Yea, its super fancy at the $62 buffet but the wait is unacceptable. When I see that, I presume they're trying to slow down the ordering. Its like the AYCE sushi places that maybe get out 3 or 4 orders within their time limit.
Love waking up and having a new mikey chen video to watch on my morning run
Yummy!! I can't ever eat the shrimp without peeling it or peeling some of the shell off, so kudos to you even eating the shrimp head! 😄
I went to Jing Fung in NYC Chinatown yesterday, they still come around with the cart. was such a lovely experience!
My MIL reminded me 飲茶 (dim sum) is supposed to last for hours as my husband and I gorged down baskets of food. 🤣
Bro says he’s gonna link his shorts channel in the description. It’s not there. I’m convinced he doesn’t watch his own videos and just uploads them 🐻🐻
Yeah. Out of curiosity, I typed "mike chen shorts" in the search bar wondering if it'll lead me to anything. Didn't know that really IS the name of the channel.
I think since ha got to Singapore he’s been phoning it in.
He doesn’t usually link anything he says he will
Hey, Mickey, can you try the Bukit Timah market, I grew up there in the 60's be nice to see after 60 years...
Oh man, I would be totally weary about oil drip from the open chili oil bottle. That stuff gets everywhere.
Mikey you are all that and dim sum!
Where is the link for the short channel
Plugging your hot oil at a restaurant ??? Classy bro!!!!
You Make Me Hungry Every Time I Watch One Of Your Videos! YUM! I Love Trying New Foods Everyday or Making Them Too!!
you didn't post any adress of the restaurants in the description.
I could already swim in my own saliva with all the food I want to eat now 😩
Thank God for longer video's again SO much better, especially as they are all containing sponsorship!
Oh boy! Can't wait to get in the bed and binge watch this channel :D
Of all the Traveling Eaters, you are my very favoritest! Yes I know, that's horrendous English...
Don't care. Thanx Mikey!
25:11 I guess Zhongli does have someone to remember the taste of Osmanthus with him
You'd be killing the YT Shorts game! Glad you gave it a go💖
What's the Channel called? Is it the Eat with Mikey because that hasn't had any new uploads for two months.
Dim sum is a Thing Of Beauty in my world, and you've got me wanting to see if there's a good dim sum joint here in Dallas that I can go to some time soon! I hope the restaurant didn't get after you for whipping out your own hot oil? Soup dumplings are one of my favorite things in life, further.
I want to eat Dim Sum after watching you eat all that yummy food
You should totally try the chinese dim sum buffet at Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore!
I’d go nuts if I found a dim sum buffet!!! That all looks amazing!! I love watching you and your adventures!!
And here I am, can't even afford instant noodles most days! Looks good, almost makes me feel full lol! Nice job
I don’t see a link to your shorts on the description.

Uncle Yip's loves dim sum so much we make dim sum in our restaurant!!! Yum!!!
I’ve never had dim sum before, I live in a part of the uk where it’s not really a thing. Question the rose wine chicken looks raw… how come it’s so pink?
Hahaha! Who started the entirely different pricepoint trend? Was it worth it buzzfeed? 😆
Local chicken breeds (non-broiler chicken) are a bit tough and red in colour. They make great stew but hardly any tender meat in them.
Ha. I was just at the Mandarin Orential for four nights two weeks ago. I didn't eat the all u can eat buffet , but their breakfast was 5 star!!
hi Mikey and family!
Where’s the information you said you put below for the shorts channel?
the first place i can just buy 2 dish with a rice and im good, not just good though likee REAL full, people can eat so many like im so full just watching mikey eat soo much
Please tell me I’m not the only one who caught the Worth It reference in the video description! “Drastically different price points to see which one is worth it”
Yeah, he referenced Steven after saying it, but I was kinda hoping Steven would then show up for the 2nd buffet.
That hot and sour soup looks soooo good 😱
Your Shorts channel link isn't in your bio yet tho
Literally just ate dinner and yet I'm hungry again lol
When Mike says, “tender” in his way you know the food is fire 🔥
