I’m a Chinese guy in China mainland at the moment, yet this is the first time I know how self-heating hot pot works, haha, I guess I should get one from the supermarket or make an order online. Excellent video, thank mate !
I’ve brought these before when travelling .I learnt the Korean version of self heating hotpots etc are better .Janice you can get them on Pitt street in Korea town just past world square ... but honestly nothing beats a proper sit down hotpot haha.
These instant foods are enough to buy an actual takeout meal. They’re definitely more for backup when you are on trips. Thanks for trying them and letting us know what they’re like, Janice.
I also live in Australia, and in my area, they're about half the price of a takeout meal (each pot is ~7-8 AUD whereas a takeway is ~15-16 AUD on average, a takeaway rice pot would cost over 20 AUD). So my boyfriend and I would eat these sometimes when we're broke at the end of the month and we don't want instant noodles or if we just want a quick and easy small meal
Do they sell just the heating bag at the Asian store? I can see that being very useful for cooking on the go or outdoors with fresh ingredients if you don’t have the carry space for a stove top or don’t want to light fires to cook.
I always appreciate honesty in these kind of videos! I did have a kimchi rice one of these that was quite good as a heads up. Wish I could remember brand name
i didnt even realise dalring square existed. i knew they knocked down the entertainment centre and put some towers up, but didnt know about all the shops.
i eat self-heating hot pot often 😅 i think it is a good option for make-at home hot pot for single person, no hustle all you need deal,i enjoy spicy numbing Sichuan ones with fish most of the time 😋
These have been around in China for a few years. I always wish they just sold the pots with the heat pad technology and skipped the dried ingredients. I could then do my own thing.
Oooooh i saw these in the Asian grocer...and wondered what they are...I’m tempted to get one just to try...also didnt realise Thai Kee has ichiran instant noodles!! (Ps also tempted to try that white rabbit milk as well...saw them in the grocer and went ooooooh!)
the beef and potato is really good, and it comes with pickled side dish. the Kungpow chicken one comes with salted peanuts as a side dish, but not as good as the beef and potatos
I was referring to the instant noodles. They’re like a higher echelon of instant noodle and come with Chinese condiments like pickled veges and fried tofu pieces. There’s a variety of brands these days. You should definitely do a vid. Not enough people know what they’re missing.
Scary how much plastic is used in each package. Plastic inside plastic inside plastic =o. Also scary when you know millions of people will buy this for the trend... Maybe people should stick to buying local produce and investing in a hot pot of their own? This would be perfect for my earthquake kit LOL. Hahah..thanks for sharing with us though!
Neat idea but... All that plastic, so bad for the environment. Also this clay pot rice you where talking about, anywhere in Sydney to get this? Sounds delicious 😋
so... have you tried any of this before? if there's any that you really liked pls let me know...!
Never tried but I like edition :D

Even if the dishes weren't overwhelming, the science of the self heating pot is intriguing. I have to try these! 🙂
kind of amazed this exists!! would be perfect to take camping!!

Yeah they are each about 10 bucks

I feel like this is good camping food

Wow this is so innovative! I’m gonna try one next time I go to the grocery :D
They'vw been around for years in China.
I saw you at darling square recording this, I work at the bank upstairs from the carpark, I was too shy to come up cause you were recording haha
Come up and say hi next time 😁 it's always nice. Makes you guys "more real" to me hahaha
Is it konjac rice? it’s a zero calorie alternative they sell it at woolies. Love your vids 🌻😊💖
Ohhh is that what it is! That texture is actually similar to konjac! Kinda jelly like haha
And thanks for watching Rachel!
@@JaniceFung thats cause the rice is already cooked and freeze dried so the water your actually adding is re-hydrating the rice.
This would’ve been so good when I was quarantining!
Which one would ya choose??
gooo to the easter show on a budget
The curry rice reminds me of an airplane meal.
First time to see this kind of self heating thing. The last one is tempting!
had no idea these existed. i'll get some for camping. flameless ration heaters are awesome!
wow...so cool..always wanted to try...but some of these take a long time to cook...lol
Hi Janice have you visit one of the Mala place where you pick your own ingredient and the staff cook for you as a dry hot pot?
I always appreciate honesty in these kind of videos! I did have a kimchi rice one of these that was quite good as a heads up. Wish I could remember brand name
Thanks for watching! If I spot a kim chi rice I’ll check it out!
i didnt even realise dalring square existed. i knew they knocked down the entertainment centre and put some towers up, but didnt know about all the shops.
Janice! I love you!!❤️
i eat self-heating hot pot often 😅 i think it is a good option for make-at home hot pot for single person, no hustle all you need deal,i enjoy spicy numbing Sichuan ones with fish most of the time 😋
The curry one has a dog and cat as the front photo. Then you open it and looks like the bowls they eat from 🤣🤣 good marketing right there 🔥🐶🐱
Great job Janice, they all looked better than instant noodles
Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
if I only knew! I stay at that accommodation and Edition is a place I always go to!
These have been around in China for a few years. I always wish they just sold the pots with the heat pad technology and skipped the dried ingredients. I could then do my own thing.
You have to get haidilao self heating hotpot
Which flavour?
Interesting and fun video. I would only eat that if I lived in Antarctica by myself and if no fresh vegetables anywhere. 😅
Hahaha for emergencies only
Wow, so convenient..
Oooooh i saw these in the Asian grocer...and wondered what they are...I’m tempted to get one just to try...also didnt realise Thai Kee has ichiran instant noodles!! (Ps also tempted to try that white rabbit milk as well...saw them in the grocer and went ooooooh!)
Yeah I’m tempted to try too! If it’s good let me know!
I wouldn't recommend buying that bug box of white rabbit milk. It was very sweet and tastes weird so try one before bulk buying!
At the price point, i'd find time to go to a food court or restaurant to get a feed. Interesting novelty value.
I’ve tried the instant clay pot rice, I liked it
Ooo same brand?
Did you try any other types that you liked?
@@JaniceFung It’s 自嗨鍋’s beef and mushroom favour, it tasted good but of course cannot compare with the one cooked with clay pot😉
the beef and potato is really good, and it comes with pickled side dish. the Kungpow chicken one comes with salted peanuts as a side dish, but not as good as the beef and potatos
No need to wash the rice?
seriously ... I eat these all the time, how did I not know some self heated?? Heading back to my local Asian grocery ...
can you do a review on a list of stinkiest food inthe world like surstromming/ durian/ century eggs?
I mean I can.. but I won’t enjoy it 😅
Hey Janice, Maybe you put to much water into the rice. next time add lesser water when cooking rice.
The last one is Korean buddae jiggae though!
Haha yes it is
I want to try them but my mum would just go off saying how unhealthy these are
should have stick to nissin sesame oil instant noodles.. oh, dont forget the spam 🤣🤣🤣
Yes! And a fried egg
I would not trust that egg on the first one 🤣😭😭
HEAVEN or HELL, HEAVEN or HELL, HEAVEN or HELL.
Did you see my review of the hot pot?
Have you had 螺蛳粉？I think you need to try 螺蛳粉.
Haven't yet....haven't smelt it either hahaha can you find it in Sydney?

I miss read the title! Thought was self hating hot pot 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
3:43 5.45, 6.30, 7.70, 9.90...kinda costly for noodles
What a charmer
Very convenient, but a lot of trash (recycling?) and expensive. Support local small producers/restaurants; hereEU, the third lockdown.....

great camera holding hahaha
Maybe they put the fake (plastic) rice in the container
Hi Janice 🙋🏻♂️
Hello! 🙋🏻♀️
I've never tried it before but I think I might actually get some for last resort, last minute, emergency options at home lol
Or just buy a bunch of instant noodles.. come to think of it- just based off of the 5 items I tried, I prefer instant noodles more actually
That's interesting.. So convenient.. No need gas or electric. Are they from China...
Yes I think most of them are
Edition Café has one of the best soufflé in Sydney. Hahha
good video
Thanks Joseph!
Cool!
👌🏻👌🏻
💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍
Omg I wanted to try but I’m scared it’s super msg
I’ll I had to drink heaps of water after
Mayan berak
Was the self-heating hotpots very spicy hot?
By the end of trying 5 different pots, your upper lip is quite red and swollen.
HaHaHa!
But I feel like as u keep on tasting ur face is more and more disappointed
😅😅
