When you were courting Christine, you would talk together; I really loved that...she has the sweetest voice.
The inflight catering at JFK are known to be below standards as compared to those offered by foreign airlines at their home base. Even Singapore Airlines catering taste subpar when flying from JFK
Singapore airlines is elite ! And they treat children so nicely
Good luck to Christine on her last semester, and I hope you enjoy as many local Singaporean places as you can get to!
She’s a gold digger lmao
@@Mitchlom Please keep your opinion to yourself
@@Mitchlom bruh she owns multiple businesses 🤦🏻♂️
@@Mitchlom Well that was rude! Do you know her? Why do you watch and support Mike but you attack his wife? I’ll pray for you to have a kind heart ❤️
@mitch seriously how DISRESPECTFUL DO YOU GET!!! CONGRATS Christine and best of luck on your last semester. And thank you for making Mikey SOO SO HAPPY!!!💜 🖤
I am happy that there will be korea vlog again! It's my fave out of all the countries you've visited. So excited 😊
11:28 can confirm this. My friend lived in Finland for a time of his life, his dad says there is a waitlist to special order those chocolates, especially abroad.
obv u dont live in finland since its called karl fazer and its everyday item and most popular item maybe in finland
@@someone-ck3ve I said my friend did if you read my comment closely. I couldnt remember the name of the brand for the life of me even though he hyped them up.
@@RoseTheWolf36 Must've been an international mailing issue then.
Those chocolates are literally *EVERYWHERE*.
Living vicariously thru you my friend , thank you and safe and happy travels.
I live the little shop in Korea, that was a good way to use the space. Instead of having four or five facings of one product you have a little of this and that to appeal to the largest audience you can, without having to worry about having a huge stockroom.
My best wishes for Christine!! 😃
And looking forward for more videos there! 👏
I like that writing the names of the dishes.
Yay, Mike @ Singapore! Can't wait to see your kopitiams and hawkers adventures over there, again!
Oh, don't forget to visit the neighbouring countries too.
I hope you get to explore Helsinki sometime in the future.
The resto at 19:46 was playing GDRAGON’s “Who You” just wanna put this out there lol enjoy your quick stay in SoKor!
me thinking mikey would get his nails done 😂💅
Finally Salmon's Ur Friend courtesy Enemy of Enemy Theory !!
LOL
Hi Mike and Christine food look great
Mike, I am so confused! You hate broccoli, but don't mind brussels sprouts?
Hope everything goes well for Christine!!
Next time order a gravy bread!
Next episode please
Thank you for the food subtitles! Keep up the great work and best wishes to Christine
Singapore for a while?

Omg who rules the world so good S
Wow....you married the right person! Jet setting life with tons of food and a semester in Singapore! So happy for you both!
Have you ever flown Business or First Class with Qantas Airlines? How is it? Just curious because i work for them at LAX lol
Thanks for including writing for the items you don't verbally talk about. My only quibble, is it possible to make them smaller? They definitely are too large/sarc
The bread is meant to be harder than American bread. It's super nutritious compared to what you get in the US. You'd usually slather it with butter and it works best next to a hot bowl of salmon soup that is glistening with golden globules of butter fat, with sweet, vibrantly orange carrots, some distinctively flavourful potatoes and soft, delicious chunks of salmon in a rich seafood broth, for instance. You have to understand that the bread comes from a rural, rugged culinary tradition that does best with local ingredients. Finns aren't big consumers of shrimp, so we don't always know what to do with them. We have crayfish, but they're a niche delicacy for the few in a historically agrarian society. If you can appreciate humble ingredients, there are no potatoes out there like the new season almond potatoes from Lapland. Sadly, these things translate poorly into airplane food.
The bread is something that Finns miss when abroad and that they're pretty proud of, but Mike's reaction is completely understandable when put into context. I bet he'd enjoy the softer, sweetened variety they make in the archipelago, though! Why would you ever serve jasmin rice with salmon on an airplane?
I love Finnish bread, my grandfather used to make it all the time so it did bother me a little when he said he hated it.
I love how you wrote that entire post, makes me want to eat it :D you have a way with words.
Almond potatoes from Lapland are the best on the planet!!!!!
Mmmm butter fat.....sounds deliciously artery clogging
Relax bro😂😂😂😂
the second flights food represents way better the standard Finnair businesses class food and Finnish cuisine!
Latistics
The first flight left from the US so the food is made by an American catering company while the second leg was a Finnish company. One of the reasons people hate American based carriers.
If you ever get bad food on a flight its more likely the airports fault and not the airline... especially when the flight originates out of the States. Food is always ALWAYS better when you're flying from an airline's home base. American airport catering suuuuuuuucks
Even moreso when you have an American food service kitchen trying to execute a foreign airline's menu. That was actually why Lufthansa bought an American flight caterer.
All "specialty" ingredients have to be frozen and shipped to the caterer. Versus them being fresh if you are starting in the airline's primary hub.
I worked at a airline catering company in South Africa. Food is made in large batches so you put them on large trays and they go into the walk in fridge to cool down before the ladies start packing. All vegetables are ordered in prewashed, cut, peeled etc. We literally did everything, even cheese boards. And the pastry kitchen was basically all premix ofcourse because of the quantity. Was quite an experience for me.
Not anything related to airline procurement however its not an excuse however as you should have QA people to ensure a minimum standard. If you're flying out of a tiny remote location then not much you can do but for larger cities there's no excuse. You can also modify the menu to cover up slightly worse cooking I.e. maybe use more long life sauces you can fly in from your home airport and just pair with meat and carbs onsite.
So true
I wanted you to tell one of your ghost stories when all the lights in the cabin were dim. I feel like it would have been epic!
Glad you're liking Finnair! Also a tip for you if you ever fly with Finnair again or are just visiting Finland, you should put butter on the rye bread, it completely changes the texture and it becomes really delicious
butter makes you fat though...
@@Peter-ue4iz how much butter do you eat???
@@Peter-ue4iz lots of things make you fat lol
@@amluist exactly. Butter, in reasonable amounts, can be part of a healthy diet.
@@Peter-ue4iz he literally eats everything ???.....
Hopefully you'll be visiting Indonesia again after all things settle in Singapore mike. There's a lot of things in Indonesia you haven't tried yet
Wow your wife is beautiful and smart! U got the best of both worlds, so did she! I'm so glad u found each other! Everything looked delicious in Korea. Korean food is my favorite! :0)
She’s a gold digger man
@@Mitchlom if you ask me sounds like your jealous of either Mike or Christine! Kindly stop watching if your not a genuine fan or family.
Scandinavian rye bread is dry and hard like that, but you're supposed to eat it with toppings (or even butter would do) just like when you eat crackers with your charcuterie plate.
If I ever had the money, I would love to go on a foodie adventure with you! That would be a bucket list trip!
7uu7uu7
I from Finland and woulda never guess u Will fly with Finnair 😁😁 btw frye bread is pretty dry but you should use butter on it a lot. Its called Voi. Edit as a chef myself i wa sure you are not gonna like Finnair food too much, our kitchen is pretty blend
:) I was thinking of a nice way to say that without insulting any Finn's in the audience. The main selling point is "its not as bland as DUTCH food."
@@redwolfexr my grandfather was Finnish and he would cook all the time. Not sure who you ate from but his Finnish food was never bland.
@@Shippo28 Right.
And it's airplane food. He should've been more open minded.
*Tempting! ♥️💕 This is What To Watch If You're Always Hungry Before Bed!!*
I am beginning to think the quality of the business class meals is also dependent on the catering service at the departure city... that looks just awful in your first leg of your flight.
Ah!! Singapore, worst place to study law because they jst executed a mentally disabled man for smuggling 46 gms of drugs after jailing him for a decade. It's ridiculous and sad.
Wait mentally disabled man smuggling drugs what that don't even sound right how does a mentally disabled person smuggle 46grams of drugs that's crazy
I'm surprised they didn't offer a vegetarian option. Some airlines I've gone with vegetarian rather than seafood or chicken because of how dry the meat can be
You can usually pre book that. It’s classified as a special meal, just like a kosher/halal or gluten free meal.
?????? TOP law school in Singapore? Hahahahahah have never heard of such a thing. All the bestttt
I’m a ramp agent at Austin airport. Everyone always asks if there was one place I could go what would it be.
Finland. One day hopefully I can see it.
You can do it 😎👍. Expedia package
our country has a lot to see its definitely worth going here
Love the content as usual. Always feel so happy just watching Mikey chow down even midflight. Lol 😆
All the best to you Mike and as well as Christine in Law School. 🙏🏻
Seeing her even a glace gets us excited to see her more in your future videos.
For Someone Like Myself That Hasn't Had The Opportunity To Travel Yet I Feel Like I've Traveled And Tasted The Entire Globe I Just Wanna Say Thanks Mikey😊😊😇
You don’t need to capitalize every word lol
Lol its a texting habit I'm trying to break😅😂
Do you ever not talk with your mouthful?
What happened to your earbuds?
Can't wait to see you eat at the seafood market in Singapore featured in Crazy Rich Asians.
I love these airplane videos
Really appreciate the small tags of the exact dishes you ordered. Really helps what to order when us viewers follow in your footsteps
Dude slow down-- WOW! The optics is unfavorable but like your vid’s of places you eat around the world.
You NEED to stay in Finland for a while ❤️🇫🇮 So glad you liked the "bread cheese" 😍 also you should try our rye bred with the butter next time!
I’m Finnish and that cheese thing is not my thing 😂
Do you save all your travel kits you get on the planes? Would love to see a haul of all of them
Not only is Mrs. Chen gorgeous she’s smart too going to law school in Singapore! I know you are proud of her!
Christine is going to be a great lawyer. 👍💜 You guys really compliment one another so well!
I'm glad Finland airlines came back stronger on the second flight with their food. No matter, it's a blessing just to be able to travel and get to experience good/bad food. So, I know you have traveled to so many different countries and enjoyed them all, but when you go to Korea it's different. I feel like that you feel like you're at home there and you really genuinely love their food so much! 👍
Question for Mike
Did you move out of the place in Dallas? I know that was a move you made before you met Christine (for the restaurant) and you've spent some time in St Louis and Chicago since then, and now Singapore. Just wondering.
Mike can be pretty flexible with his life: rural New York, Seattle, Dallas, St Louis, Chicago, Singapore, etc. It seems that he got very serious with Christine shortly after he moved to Dallas, but she's from St Louis and seems to be studying in Chicago, so he really didn't have much time in Dallas. At least he shares many of his adventures with us and was willing to choose love. I wish him the best
18:36 "Need to take a nap havnt slept in the last 12 to 16 hours" aka how a day is for 99% of the worlds population haha
It is ryebread and it is made to be tough. It is made of sourdough. It is a part of Daily lunch in all of Scandinavia - and it is best to eat it like an open sandwich
Oh wow very cool you flew Finnair! I used to take the flight from Finland to Singapore quite regularly so cool to see how the business class food has changed
The chocolate is called Fazer and is the best. You can order it on their website with worldwide shipping 👌
Welcome to Singapore! Can't wait for your Singapore local food series and hope to see collabs with our local TH-camrs. Stay safe and keep eating! 😊 From a Singaporean fan
What happened to dumpling? Didn’t Mike get a puppy??
Mike you eat a sandwich in the most awkward way, still live your channel though!!
Why am I not surprised that Miss Christine is just that awesome, finishing law school? Best of luck to her with that, and may you both find all the good places to eat no matter where you go!
She’s a gold digger don’t kid yourself
@@Mitchlom how do you know that??
@@Mitchlom who are you? Troll?
@@Mitchlom and you're a poor little boy that no gold digger would even look at
@@Jmpt86 Let's not give this guy, assuming he's real, the time of day, here. If he's real? He's just jealous that Mike scored him a beauty and he didn't.
Good food always 👍 🍜 🥟 ❤ 🍪 🦐 🍫
Honestly it doesn't matter where she's gone to law school at and been able to do what! What really matters is that she's still done her own things as well as supported her husband! And as long as their both happy who the HELL are any of us to do anything other than support and enjoy the content that Mikey Chen and his wife provide.
I don't think they're married
@@flywan They very much are married, he's mentioned it in numerous videos
They got married in October of last year
@@sandyturner8363 Oh, didn't realize that. Good for them.
Married.
I really appreciate you putting the names of dishes on the video now!
The Finnish chocolate is called Fazer(pronounced Fát-ser) and it's amazing. :)
Finnair is excellent compared to the dicatorship-airilines like Qatar and Emirates.
Mike you chose well. Christine is not only beauty, but brains too. Good luck to her with the last push and to you finding new digs.
Keep up the fabulous entertaining channels.
❤️❤️
the great thing about watching shows weekly is that you have the whole week to think about what you just saw and what is going to happen next episode. like you go into the next episode with way more on your mind about things than just mindlessly watching an entire season and Then looking back on what you just saw. personally i prefer the buildup of excitement and anticipation for an episode that you can only get from waiting a week in between. it feels like a show is more impactful this way when looking back on it months after watching.
IDK how people eat on planes. Except maybe like chips or something.
Ah fellow Finn here! You are so lucky, I always wanted to travel to Finland. I have family living in Finland { my grandpas side} I’d love to see them again
Welcome 🇫🇮
Hey mike! If you're stopping by Helsinki again, definitely go try the reindeer and mashed potatoes in the restaurant "lappi" also try a Long Drink if you get the chance:)
Tractorbarri Zetor in downtown Helsinki
Singapore videos for a while? Yes sir!!! Can’t wait for those videos!
Once your fly out of JFK just expect the food to be trash!! Every where else in the world knows how to cook an Server food
Nordic countries embraces "less is more". We dont overdue it more than necessary.
No point with alot of choices of theyre all mediocre, better with fewer and higher standard choices.
rye bread needs lots of butter and some cheese
Super jazzed for you guys being able to live in Singapore! Those were my fave videos from you too! Enjoy
I know it's Mikey's job, but I don't understand how he can eat so much. I typically fly first class (or business class as they call it now), and I normally pass on the food, I pay for the room not really the food. The fact that he can eat multiple meals on an eight hour flight then go eat again once he lands and check in, is something to marvel at lol.
I think he fasts and exercises a lot!
I'd for sure rather be on the first plane where you could lay down in comfort, than be uncomfortable but with better food.
I fly private and enjoy the food. I believe its called editing
@@thatzombieplace you edit your belly?
That's a lot of food?
You know as humans we're *meant to* eat multiple times a day? 🙄
Maybe some just eat only a few times and just have more on a one meal.
Mikey that Def wasn't rainbow trout. They bamboozled you with salmon again
If I had a cent for every mile Mikey has traveled.......RETIRED.
You continue to scarf and barf when eating.
I wasn’t ready for Mikey in the hat lol, I feel like I have seen every video and don’t remember seeing him wear a hat 😂
i would 100percent forget my passport in there
Everytime I will see mike chen on mu notification I will immediately watch his videos.
Your GF is becoming a lawyer?
Perfect, then you can sue anyone who dares to put broccoli in your food!
OMG MIKEY COMIN TO SG AGAIN! It’s hot right now tho :X 36C feels like 42C cos of the humidity.
Looking forward to you guys moving here for a sem! :)
This guy moves so frequently wtf? Didn't he just move to Texas? What happened to his business?
Mikey, I’m from Singapore and I am huge fan of your work! Please do give me an opportunity to meet up with you when you have already settle in in Singapore😊. Feel free to ask me anything with regards to Singapore I’ll be more than happy to help you out! God bless, have an amazing experience in Finland😊.
I could never do what you do. I've always despised moving. It's totally disruptive. I like putting down some roots.
You live a charmed life my friend!
Imagine he hated the box and wanna promote it lmfao.
I love watching u and your videos but when u eat noodles it hurts me to the soul. All I can hear would be my mother yelling at me for making all that damn noise when I'm eating.
bad time to come to singapore... weather's starting to turn hot...
Your living life of a king don't worry about leg space!
Awesome video as always Mikey. Also can you please do another drop of that amazing hot pot box please
Best of luck to Christine!
More travel food vlogs together!
