I was blessed that my mom was raised in a city that was very ethnically diverse. She loved food from around the world. She also loved learning how to cook these varying foods and raised me on a lot of them. From a simple ragu of Italy to Asian stir fries and the best Mexican tacos (and I don't mean the hard shelled Tex Mex kind). Now I live vicariously thru Mr. Chen wishing my health would allow me to travel and try these foods. Thank you Mr. Chen for reminding me to keep my food horizons open and continue to explore great foods from around the world.
hey mikey this is someone who has been watching your videos for the longest i recently just had a baby an mother hood is great i love to watch you videos in my free time it allows me to go places through the tv were ill never go please keep doing your videos
i feel like your love for food will someday make you a better competitive eater than matt stonie, eating three crabs for a casual breakfast is just the beginning
I would never be able to pull off eating crab on camera! Mike Chen, only you, my friend, only you! This video was an absolute delight! I HAVE to visit Singapore now!
Hey Mike! I love your videos man. They are soooooooooooo good, and you got me glued to the screen. Besides you're one of the few traveling food vloggers and by far the most entertaining. Love your work. Keep doing your thing brother!
Hey Mikey!!! Greetings from singapore 😊 I'm really glad you enjoyed our classic chilli/black pepper crab because they are some of my absolute favourites! If you plan on coming back to singapore, I would really recommend you to visit East Coast Village and try the famous duck rice there! It is to die for HAHAHA I usually order it with a side of extra vegetables and a braised egg. Order a side of fried oysters together with a fresh coconut and I promise your afternoon is complete ☺️
TheMovieMyLife Glad to see another black girl who likes watching Strictly Dumpling. I love exploring other cultures. I feel like Asian culture need to be seen more. I also love watching Korean Dramas. 😊
This brought back great memories. Thanks. I spent 1.5 years (1997-1998) working in AP with a lot of my time in Singapore. I don't recall me and my coworkers ever ordering chili crab but the black pepper crab is something I'll never forget.
Long Beach's Chilli Crab is the BEST! And I'm saying that despite having a Jumbo VIP card and enjoying discounts. PS. I don't even know you and I'm already ridiculously proud of you for demolishing 3 crabs for breakfast. Well done!
I love crab every times my mom buys or makes it for dinner I wait for everyone to finish eating bcs they eat a little so I just have this huge bowl of crab FOR MY SELF IKR !!!!! TELL ME IF THATS NOT THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
Hello Mike Chen. Long time viewer here.Let me just say CONGRATS mate, on THE MOST Humour some commentary which makes your videos exciting to watch. I envy your Chinese "four stomachs" references. To be quite honest, I cannot stop laughing to hear your quotes, and the end of each presentation, I feel quite happy. Keep up the excellent work mate.
I love love the way you describe every single bite, taste and what's in your mind when you eat😋😊 Keep up the wonderful videos. It's getting better and better!👍
Matilda Flodin looking at France to Singapore atm. Hopefully you've been there and can recommend places to go. Flights in 3 weeks. Any suggestions appreciated
Every thing you do is golden! Love the honesty and humor you put into your videos, just wish you could 3D print some of that food lol. You are welcome to Norway anytime!
I am so happy you love both dishes! And the fact that you LOVED black pepper crab over chilli crab! OMG YES FINALLY someone who thinks that! Most people will recommend chilli crab but not black pepper crab, which i feel that it's not giving any justice to the latter. Black pepper crab is my second most fav dish in the world, so maybe i'm biased? lol I'm glad you're enjoying our local food! Thanks for making my day!
Mikey, I totally agree with you about Black pepper Crab... I've eaten at both restaurants (and a few others in SG), and far prefer the Pepper to the Chili Crab. Also, you can buy black pepper and chili sauce packets in markets there, so you can make crab at home.
Wow! Welcome to Singapore!!! Been watching ur vids since 3 yrs ago... so amazing tt u hv come to SG... if u r still in Spore, how about trying the Michelin Liao Fan's chicken noodles?
Hey Mike! I just came back from Long Beach and I have an amazing update for you. They know provide more black pepper sauce for you to put in whatever! All thanks to you! Time to look for air tickets to come back to Singapore??
Thanks Mike, you gave me new found respect for my own country's food! Watching you eat is my ASMR moments. Locals tend to prefer Long Beach while non locals prefer Jumbo. Probably as you pointed out, the spiciness level.
Thank goodness you didnt go to Jumbo first! Daamn you're in my old 'hood! Just moved from Singapore back to Sydney...so nice to see Singapore in your vids! I highly recommend Hua Yu Wee in the Eastcoast...try their Salted Egg Crab and the Seafood Mee Goreng. Singapore is all about FOOD! Enjoy! :)
Personally, I'm more of a black pepper crab kinda girl! :) A lot of hawkers/coffee shops here sell good crabs (not to mention, cheaper) too! We have other varieties like white pepper, salted egg, etc. But of course Black pepper and Chilli crabs are the classic. Hope you had a yummy good time in Singapore!
Been to Singapore last week, went to Long Beach,tasted the chili crab...now I'm having second thoughts why I didn't order the black pepper crab...sure, long beach is a little expensive but your review makes want to go back to Singapore and try the black pepper crab...if I subscribed earlier I could've known about you're reviews...such a bummer...either way you've earned another subscriber...keep up the goodwork!
I live in Singapore and it such an awesome feeling to see that you enjoyed the crabs. Can't wait to see what you're going to try next in Singapore! You should consider trying out a bowl of Laksa!
I'm sorry sir 😊😊but i would really appreciate if you put the price for the meal so i can prepare for the cost. Just in case if i want to travel there hehe.. Really nice mouthwatering videos here..
nurul iman some of the dishes on their menu has a seasonal charge so it’s pretty hard to predict how much it is. But if you’re really keen on it, you can look it up online :)
Hi Mike, Nice video about the crab, if you're still in Singapore you should try ENG SENG restaurant. Their Black Pepper crab is amazing ( all locals knew about this place ), located in JOO CHIAT ROAD. Hope you enjoy your stay in SG. Cheers!
You love foods you got the right place for your healthy foods fresh foods spices or not spicy you will blow your mind away enjoy your food fresh healthy foods thank you for sharing your beautiful healthy foods love your channels
Hey mike, i'm from singapore. Tbh the original chilli crab is the second one, more to tomato flavour and eggy, but ya some restaurant change the recipe to be abit more spicy, which suites to ur liking. Glad you really enjoy it! Have an awesome day ahead!
Nobody is targeting you Mike. I`m am a Singaporean and i can safely say that we judge because we want acknowledgement and we don`t want to be ignored or it could also be because we want some attention and that is normal in the sense that every Individual needs a bit of attention. So understand in order that you won`t be so affected by it. Cheers Brother! Stay Positive!
Next time, you gotta try crab bee hoon as well, Mike. It's bee hoon (thin noodles) cooked in a rich and fragrant crab stock (so dense that it's almost a bisque), with chunks of crab meat floating in it and topped with a whole crab (usually). It's a complete meal! :D
I have never seen anyone have crab in a restaurant then move next door to the other restaurant to have another crab. This is some serious review!
KaTst3R ...it's called Kill two birds with one stone😎
A G 一。。一石二鸟？！
Dude has an iron stomach. It's crazy.
@@ItsSomeDeadGuy nah its because he has 3 stomach and yes all Asians have one
LOLOL True that haha
I think our Singapore Tourism Board needs to sponsor you to come here. Your video is amazing!

Mary Caroline I know right?! I just had dinner but still hungry after watching this
Eating 3 crabs in one day 😱 I'm from Singapore and I barely eat 3 crabs in 6 months haha
I tend to eat Chilli crabs only during celebrations
Baking Aero like chinese new year
Heck, sometimes I go without eating 1 crab for a year.
Baking Aero same
I haven't had crab in years due to my allergies and I miss chilli crab so badly.
Can't believe you just went next door for more crab...YOU.ARE.AMAZING.
its just the logically delicious thing to do
Strictly Dumpling true
i feel like your love for food will someday make you a better competitive eater than matt stonie, eating three crabs for a casual breakfast is just the beginning
Teresa Pham crabs look big but crabs meat is so little. Sure mike could finish 3 crabs with ease.
I would never be able to pull off eating crab on camera! Mike Chen, only you, my friend, only you!
This video was an absolute delight! I HAVE to visit Singapore now!
Your facial expressions are priceless! I love your videos!
Thanks for watching :-)
I can't stop watching this. And you have now gotten these items on my own food bucket list. As well as wanting to go to Singapore
Hey Mike! I love your videos man. They are soooooooooooo good, and you got me glued to the screen. Besides you're one of the few traveling food vloggers and by far the most entertaining. Love your work. Keep doing your thing brother!
Thanks so much!!!
Strictly Dumpling Wtf. You actually replied. Thanks man. Come to India sometime. We have your spicy cravings covered. No beef though. :')

Thanks for watching :-)
The way you described your love relationship with the crabs & you having conversation with them, hilarious😂 . I really enjoyed watching this video.
I'm not the biggest seafood fan but that black pepper crab was calling my name.😋
I've never tried crab before. Now really I want to.
Vicky Grey - When it's time, it's time. 😄
TheMovieMyLife Glad to see another black girl who likes watching Strictly Dumpling. I love exploring other cultures. I feel like Asian culture need to be seen more. I also love watching Korean Dramas. 😊
TheMovieMyLife same. I love seafood so this video is everything for me
Same it looked so mouth watering!
lmao i love how Mikey describes food
Mile is the type of guy that takes one chip and takes half the guacamole

Strictly Dumpling lol idk by the way love your vids!
Best chili crab: Jumbo seafood
Best black pepper crab: Long beach SF.
Best salted egg crab: House of seafood
That crap looked so delicious...WOW...bring that to the states. You need to start your own chain. What a meal.
that would put red lobster and joes out of business
*crab
Crap😂
Singaporean here, living in the US now,
It’s my opinion that nothing i can buy in this country is as delicious as food in Singapore.
Thanks for coming to visit my home country Mikey! You also savoured our national dish, the crab and chicken rice!

Mikey and Black Pepper Crab - is the epic love scene we are anticipating between Jon and Dany this Sunday.
Every thing you do is golden! Love the honesty and humor you put into your videos, just wish you could 3D print some of that food lol. You are welcome to Norway anytime!
I am so happy you love both dishes! And the fact that you LOVED black pepper crab over chilli crab! OMG YES FINALLY someone who thinks that!

I'm glad you're enjoying our local food! Thanks for making my day!
Mikey must have at least three stomachs.
I say he has at least 5.

Wow! Welcome to Singapore!!! Been watching ur vids since 3 yrs ago... so amazing tt u hv come to SG... if u r still in Spore, how about trying the Michelin Liao Fan's chicken noodles?
Mike hugs his food.
Mike talks to his food too. I'm getting a little worried about him.
That's real unadulterated love!
Hey Mike! I just came back from Long Beach and I have an amazing update for you.
They know provide more black pepper sauce for you to put in whatever! All thanks to you!
Time to look for air tickets to come back to Singapore??
You Inspire Me Bro! My Favorite Food Traveler!
Thanks Mike, you gave me new found respect for my own country's food! Watching you eat is my ASMR moments. Locals tend to prefer Long Beach while non locals prefer Jumbo. Probably as you pointed out, the spiciness level.
Am singaporean and haven't had crabs in a while. Craving crabs now thanks to this video! Try crab soup beehoon one day!
My parents used to live in S'pore and Black Pepper crab was my favorite thing to eat when I would visit.
Thank goodness you didnt go to Jumbo first! Daamn you're in my old 'hood! Just moved from Singapore back to Sydney...so nice to see Singapore in your vids! I highly recommend Hua Yu Wee in the Eastcoast...try their Salted Egg Crab and the Seafood Mee Goreng. Singapore is all about FOOD! Enjoy! :)
Oh and get some Irvin's Salted Egg Potato Crisps and Fish Skin Crisps ;-)
Personally, I'm more of a black pepper crab kinda girl! :) A lot of hawkers/coffee shops here sell good crabs (not to mention, cheaper) too! We have other varieties like white pepper, salted egg, etc. But of course Black pepper and Chilli crabs are the classic. Hope you had a yummy good time in Singapore!
Hah, i came here with full stomach. 😎
aliff ash not me 😰
I learned to make it a personal rule a long time ago to always watch this guy's vids either while eating or just after.
Don't you get hungry right away after his first bite like me? or it's just me
i woke up and came to youtube. Big mistake >.
aliff ash I came with an empty stomacg
You are making me crave both dishes sooo much. Definitely on my list when I head back to Singapore!!
Hi Mikey! Quick question - how much did you spend at Long Beach & Jumbo respectively?
Been to Singapore last week, went to Long Beach,tasted the chili crab...now I'm having second thoughts why I didn't order the black pepper crab...sure, long beach is a little expensive but your review makes want to go back to Singapore and try the black pepper crab...if I subscribed earlier I could've known about you're reviews...such a bummer...either way you've earned another subscriber...keep up the goodwork!
Mikey, you need to try Sambal Sting-ray:p
ok!
try the SOUP TULANG at golden mile food center.
Eat Kaya toast
and bak kut teh!
MrHippieKilla what's that
Totally agree Mike Singapore chili crab and black pepper crab are some of the best food experiences I have had traveling to over 28 countries.
The way this guy describes the food always entertains me. Lol
Very informative, descriptive and honest 👏
Dude...you have the best job in the world. Much success and keep the awesome videos coming.
yay!!!! we have a 6 hour layover in Singapore in a few weeks. love crab. Love you, just don't tell my husband. shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love that you LURVE our dishes .....that's what we've been telling people around the world!!
I live in Singapore and it such an awesome feeling to see that you enjoyed the crabs. Can't wait to see what you're going to try next in Singapore! You should consider trying out a bowl of Laksa!
wow this 3 dishes must have cost a bomb! at least S$300? welcome to Singapore, you have to try out the malay and indian hawker food as well.
yea wasnt cheap...
Strictly Dumpling come sabah (malaysia) for cheapest seafood 😍
From Singapore! Glad u like our food here! Getting hungry watching these videos! U should try salted egg crab! And also Peranakan food!!
I make bucket list, once I go to SIN, definitely I need to try chili crab, yum...
must MUST have XD Oh! Make sure to have the Fried Breads as well for dips with the sauce
I like that you actually criticized something for a change. You need to do this more often!
I'm sorry sir 😊😊but i would really appreciate if you put the price for the meal so i can prepare for the cost.
Just in case if i want to travel there hehe..
Really nice mouthwatering videos here..
nurul iman some of the dishes on their menu has a seasonal charge so it’s pretty hard to predict how much it is. But if you’re really keen on it, you can look it up online :)
The prices may vary but its usually around 50-60bucks
69 ringgit
Dining in over at jumbo or Long Beach minimum you gotta spend $120 sgd for the crab
Nakul Ashok 420 ringgit
You’re not alone. I love chilli crab, but black pepper crab kicks even more butt!!! 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mike,
Nice video about the crab, if you're still in Singapore you should try ENG SENG restaurant.
Their Black Pepper crab is amazing ( all locals knew about this place ), located in JOO CHIAT ROAD. Hope you enjoy your stay in SG. Cheers!
You love foods you got the right place for your healthy foods fresh foods spices or not spicy you will blow your mind away enjoy your food fresh healthy foods thank you for sharing your beautiful healthy foods love your channels
"one of the most delicious finger licks of my life" priceless.
One of the most delicious finger licks of my life!! Best seafood sauce ever!
Hey mike, i'm from singapore. Tbh the original chilli crab is the second one, more to tomato flavour and eggy, but ya some restaurant change the recipe to be abit more spicy, which suites to ur liking. Glad you really enjoy it! Have an awesome day ahead!
CoolmmJam , I like spicy ones. Less jelak. Haha...
no way, real chilli crabs are spicy, the tomato based recipe is changed to cater to younger generation tastes.
Sweet tomato ketchup is definitely for the non-locals. Once you're ready for the spice, head out to Melben or Mattar Seafood like the locals do.
CoolmmJam spicy chilli crab all day everyday. just leave the non spicy ones for tourists. they can have that one.. 😂😂
What nonsense. Real chili crab are spicy. The more tomatoey ones are for tourists.
When Mikes says he loves food he REALLY means it.
legend says that if u are early
nothing happens
clash htoo exactly
I was literally imaginary eating with you 😩😩😩! I just discovered this channel and now I’m binge watching
that look amazing Good stuff
next time your in NYC go to Katz for a Pastrami sandwich
The RACHEL AND ROSS reference is the best way to describe something you love or need and MADE this video...
Flying to Singapore soon to eat the Black Peppered Crab 🦀 🦀🦀🥘🥘🙌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽
saSsy pOlkA dOtS! Ye how was it?
i can watch you eat all day...man i love your vids 😘
Hi Mike, you should try the white pepper crab from No Signboard seafood!
Now I must find black pepper crab somewhere in the Tampa Bay Area! That looks so good! Thanks for sharing your foodie adventures with us!
Are you serious?! Both Long Beach and Jumbo's crabs for breakfast?! Impressive appetite.
Nobody is targeting you Mike. I`m am a Singaporean and i can safely say that we judge because we want acknowledgement and we don`t want to be ignored or it could also be because we want some attention and that is normal in the sense that every Individual needs a bit of attention. So understand in order that you won`t be so affected by it. Cheers Brother! Stay Positive!
How large is your stomach? Lol.
ihobbit-sized
His stomach is bigger than a human
I have seen him ate like.... WOW
Mikey has hollow legs!
Infinite
Jumbo and ... what ever , individual taste . My favorite “ No Sign Board” since days of farrer park Hawker center . Your the Food man !
I never ate crab or lobster i would really want to try it though
you should!
What? No! Why?!
vincent7650 .... you must =]
Do it!
_JOjo_ OMG it's so good
plan to be in asia in april and singapore is up there on my list... got a few things to check out including long beach/jumbo now!
Oh god why am I watching this at 2:00 am?
any time is good crab time :-)
That is unless all the seafood are still open at 2:00
I love to see a man enjoy his food! It means passion, at least that's what I have seen 😋
WOW welcome to singapore !
one week, just one week with you eating this foods, this is my dream....... just one week, no more.
Thanks for sharing!!! 💜💜💜
Next time, you gotta try crab bee hoon as well, Mike. It's bee hoon (thin noodles) cooked in a rich and fragrant crab stock (so dense that it's almost a bisque), with chunks of crab meat floating in it and topped with a whole crab (usually).
It's a complete meal! :D
So amazed how you can eat so much at a time! It must have costed a lot! We usually share these crab dishes among 2-3 people at least!
Anne W we share among 7
