Six years ago, right before Father's day, my dad passed away. One thing I remember is every time we went to eat Chinese food he always asked me, what do the Chinese eat for breakfast? Thank you for this.
Probably cuz their employees are illegal immigrants. Chinese restaurants smuggle in people all the time as employees and pay them less than minimum wage.
@@MrLeemurman This might've been true 10 years ago... but those days are gone. The immigrant pool has dried up and out-of-state Chinese restaurants are closing left and right. Most Chinese restaurant's philosophy is volume over margin. It's harder to get an average person to splurge on one expensive item then to convenience 5 people to buy something they want to eat.
Your videos get me through really rough times. I'm so happy I stumbled upon your videos on 2020 with the pandemic going on. You distract me in a good way and fuelled my passion for food and cooking. And for that, Mikey Chen, I am forever grateful.
LoL right? I immediately thought... “Uhh...that would feed me for three days!” I always get Chinese take out when I know I’ll be in the mood to eat it for more than one day, because I’ve never finished an entire order at one time. Good thing I love Chinese food I guess. 🥰 🥟
I realized the reason I love mikes videos is because he has the same eating habits as I do. Mixing or dunking everything with everything else. I wanna try these places when lockdown ends
TRADITIONAL CHINESE BREAKFAST Tour! STEAMED Noodles, CHINESE BURGERS & Street Food In New York Mikey Chen You Got Me Man. The food looks so GOOD! Thanks again for the video Mike!
Those steamed noodles with the chilli oil are just everything,I loved all the Chinese breakfast buns they looked so divine ..Thank you for sharing Chinese street food in New York ...🤗It great to see all the food from around the world and thank you for taking us everywhere u go ..I adore you Mikey your amazing ...💖😍...xx
Yum. Mikey, you did it again. Showing us all the delicious food we never knew we needed. Never really wanted to go NYC but now I want to go to NYC Chinatown. 😍 Can you show us some places in Chicago? Or Toronto? Scope those out and give us the scoop on their best eats. 😃🙏🏼👍🏼
9:31 is when I started drooling 😂 Looks like I'm having a early dinner number 1 with you Mikey lol and it's only 1:20 in the afternoon but Anytime is good for delicious food.
One of the downfalls of living in a small city surrounded by forest in Northern Québec,Canada...missing all the food from different cultures you were used to having access to and having the privilege of trying new food items ,because you grew up in a big city,near Toronto and Niagara Falls. Now instead of ordering out or going out for Haitian, Lebanese,Italian, so on and so on....you have to settle for Hamburgers, pizza , chicken and of course...(Since Québec is home of the...) poutine!! One can only eat so much poutine!! Just another reason as to why I enjoy Mikey's video's SOOOO MUCH!!!!! :)
Perfect timing heading to NYC for a culinary tune up and always looking for great hole in the wall joints. Thanks for some great heads up. Great merch. Chef MHH CEC
The dopest thing I've always dug about Asian cuisine as a whole is that they have very affordable prices as well as awesome options outside the standard norm that the unfamiliar tend to stick too. Keep up the great work Mikey 💗
Thanks for posting! I love Bubble Tea! American's are so used to the watered down Chinese food that when we see authentic Chinese food, it's quite refreshing! I hope to visit NY when I see my family and will definitely visit these spots soon.
I love that you travel the world and that makes your channel so amazing. But I love you cover local eats (for New Yorkers like myself) just as much. I’ve been to these places and it’s kind of awesome Pros of New York you have a variety of friends, you’re GOING to have traditional meals of every place in the world.
Hello Mike...I’ve binge watched so many of your videos over the past few weeks & have become an avid follower. I’m even changing the way I cook! I was wondering if you’d be able to do a video explaining what the “gluten” is that‘s in some of the foods & perhaps how it’s made & cooked. I’m in Queensland Australia & haven’t as yet come across it in my somewhat limited travels. Thanks for all your wonderful reviews & videos...I look forward to them all! 😊
Look for a recipe for seitan. Seitan has a savory taste, probably closest to bland chicken or a portobello mushroom. Seitan has a mild flavor on its own but can take on many more flavors from different recipes.
The reason why we steam our food is because back then, the water was really dirty so we tried steaming it and it worked and stuff happened and more people started doing it. At least that’s what my dad told me tho.
Hi Mike, those steamed noodles look so fantastic. I used to travel to China three times a year when I worked in the wholesale garment business. I miss the food so much. Your videos are great. Thank you
Thank you for the tip Mike. The first thing I did after landing in NYC was to get to the foos court in flushing. The Chinese burger and as good as it looked when you ate it. Disappointingly- stalk 28 didn’t have the cold wheat noodles. They had the cold rice noodle instead. But the entire court had so much options.... I could come here every day!!!!!!!!!
Wow I’m impressed with the food in the mall; always finding the best food under the radar! . . Surprised you didn’t get a chinese donut with a congee soup! . . Can’t wait for more mikey!!! 😋
I live in LA and I have visited NYC many times. Whenever I'm in NYC, I always go to Flushing Chinatown in Queens and Midtown Manhattan Chinatown to get authentic Chinese food. The atmosphere in Flushing Chinatown(Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue) is very reminiscent of the 626 area(San Gabriel Valley/Alhambra/Rosemead) here in LA.
the fried dough things in the crepe are called “you tiao” which directly translates to oil strips. Chinese people eat this with chinese soy milk (also called “dou jiang “) and “dou fu nao”(tofu brains) for breakfast all the time. i think that might be why dipping the crepe(juan bing guo zi) tastes good.
I like that you can say, "I've tried them all", and mean it. You're an inspiration. I use to never eat out and now I'm trying every food stall and restaurant in my county and state. Cheers.
Mike Chen is the best food reviewer so far for us! We always love how he came up with great and informative content. The choice of music hypes us as we watch the video and he never fails to make us hungry every time! We are new food bloggers from the Philippines and we must say that the inspiration for us to make our content worth watching is because of this him. Though we are way far from what he can provide for his viewers, we want to say thank you for always giving us inspiration in doing the things we love with passion and dedication. Hope you can visit Manila again and other places in the Philippines to do more review :)
Six years ago, right before Father's day, my dad passed away. One thing I remember is every time we went to eat Chinese food he always asked me, what do the Chinese eat for breakfast? Thank you for this.
Justin Rigdon sorry bout your dad :(
Obviously the chinese eat cats and dogs. You never know if the pork fried rice is actual meat
Congee
@@chaikagaz 你还活在18世纪？？
Chaika Gaz 😀
The whole thing only costed you 5 bucks? In New York? You got to be kidding me. The food looks so GOOD! Thanks again for the video Mike!
Tell them to raise their price. They are selling themselves short. Way short!
Probably cuz their employees are illegal immigrants. Chinese restaurants smuggle in people all the time as employees and pay them less than minimum wage.
@@MrLeemurman nah. its cause they are mom and pop shops who all work their asses off.
Its cause its flushing, the prices are different if you were to go to chinatown in manhattan. Expect a ten dollar price hike
@@MrLeemurman This might've been true 10 years ago... but those days are gone. The immigrant pool has dried up and out-of-state Chinese restaurants are closing left and right. Most Chinese restaurant's philosophy is volume over margin. It's harder to get an average person to splurge on one expensive item then to convenience 5 people to buy something they want to eat.
I'm so happy for Mike. He's literally a regular on Trending now.
Congrats man. ❤️❤️
If you dont stink of garlic and have chili oil on your shirt after a chinese breakfast, you didn't have a good chinese breakfast
I think you meant Chinese meal. There's no limits to the beauty of Chinese food, it can't just be breakfast or it won't be a good day.
Very true 😂
Takes bun and shove in chilli oil
Haahaha very true!
Damn that made my mouth watery.. I love chili and garlic😭😭
Your videos get me through really rough times. I'm so happy I stumbled upon your videos on 2020 with the pandemic going on. You distract me in a good way and fuelled my passion for food and cooking. And for that, Mikey Chen, I am forever grateful.
nobody:
mike: If I was these noodles parents I wouldn't let them go outside with something so see through.
XD the wholesome energy I needed today
Mike is so corny
I found and read this comment at the exact time Mikey was saying the exact thing 😌
@@litup6665 me too!
I like seeing all the people in the background that just stare at camera
I love when people notice he's obviously filming yet decide to stay in frame in the background staring at him.
Wonder if they know who mikey chen is. Representing flushing like a boss
Lmao no hes not
this guy has a lot of guts talking alone to the camera.. i'm too shy for that..
The thing with chinese people is we just stare and point lol
Feels so weird seeing you go to some of my favorite stores/restaurants of all time
Miracled same omg
I only know new world mall. When did joe steam rice noodle appear? I always walked down that street and never even seen it.
For breakfast, that is in a league of its own
Mike: "This could potentially feed two people."
Me *thinking*: It could potentially feed half a Mike Chen.
Peter Takkim Marak Danggo not even he had 2 more meals after
Peter Takkim Marak Danggo i😝😝😝
LoL right? I immediately thought...
“Uhh...that would feed me for three days!”
I always get Chinese take out when I know I’ll be in the mood to eat it for more than one day, because I’ve never finished an entire order at one time.
Good thing I love Chinese food I guess. 🥰 🥟
breakfast is my all-time favorite meal and i always love to see how other cultures start their day.
imo, when it comes to chinese food, this channel is the best among others
wildan syauqi definitely!! Hello from Singapore 🇸🇬 😊
@@intheworldofmari Hello there, greetings from Indonesia 😊
I realized the reason I love mikes videos is because he has the same eating habits as I do. Mixing or dunking everything with everything else. I wanna try these places when lockdown ends
I love how you say the foods you know in Chinese. It's the greatest thing ever!
Watching your videos adds to my happiness and excitement! I look forward to it. Keep doing what you do.
You’re such a natural and no pretentions about you. Really enjoy just watching your videos and learning about the culture>Thks 👍
Mikey can make even water look appetizing
mmmmm watery
@@strictlydumpling With or without hot oil? :D
Yes he could sell water to a drowning man 😂
Thank you Mike for being a proud Chinese American and show all the awesome things about Asian culture all over the world
I work like 5 minutes from here and I haven't even heard of these places. I'M MISSING OUT! Thanks!
Here in 1 minute?? I see this as an absolute win!!!
Safe travels Mike and happy eats🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
thank you!
*The bun looks next level on that burger. Wow!*
Bro your passion for food makes me hungry and driven at the same time 😂😂 good video

I’ve seen you eat the “tofu brains” in a couple videos now and I must say, it looks absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be trying this dish asap. 😊
*Loving the Flushing hidden gems*
YUUUUUUM! I absolutely love watching your videos. You gave me a whole new reason to try different Asian cuisine. 🥰🥰🥰

Ok it's bugging me now! What melody did he use to sing 🎵 Dunk it in, Dunk it in 🎶 at 12:32?
Anybody?
I would love to meet you when you come to Las Vegas. I just moved here from Northern California.
Interesting to see what a Chinese breakfast looks like. Those noodles looked amazing.
Mikey! I'm so early for this! Yass!
The dopest thing I've always dug about Asian cuisine as a whole is that they have very affordable prices as well as awesome options outside the standard norm that the unfamiliar tend to stick too. Keep up the great work Mikey 💗

*That freshly-ground rice makes such a big difference*
Oh, man, I've been eyeing those steamed rice rolls every time I passed by... I gotta try them soon!
Everything you ate looks good and leaves me hungry even though I just ate🤤😋

cause eating is a passion
