Thanks for this vid! One of my favorite childhood memories was when my parents would take us to China town on the weekend. My mom loved introducing us to different foods. German mom and Missouri dad with their kids in China town getting different spices, trying new foods and experiencing a different culture.
But Gary Holland is not entirely wrong either. Mikey’s genetics probably allow him to digest most of the food fairly quickly regardless of age. I was always chubby growing up and I didn’t even eat a lot. I had to cut half my caloric intake when I turned 32.
He was like working out while most of people are sleeping at 5 o'clock (I once see from a video when he was in Vietnam, he was running outside while the sky still dark) . You can see the result from his muscles, they are thick and hard, definitely different from non-work out people.
I am huge fan of Mikey Chen...I like the Korean Seafood Pancake....looks so delicious and yummy! 😋 His video makes me more hungry as usual....Mouth watering! 😋😋
I love, love, love y’all’s personalities when you are together! I would love to see you two get together and in a serious relationship. But, I love to see the videos that you made, you just compliment each other so good! If nothing else, I am just glad you are great friends!
Mikey, you are the best food expeditionist ever!!!! I love you you bro!! When I grow up I want to travel and eat the world like you!!! Be blessed always!!
What does being rich have to do with anything? I'm very wealthy as well, but this isn't about being rich it's about do what you love, and I don't need luck, I'm very blessed!
I finally found a place in my home town which serves dumpling that taste like you describe your favorite dumpling.. its like a happiness bloom in mouth!!! 😍
Feels like forever since you posted on this channel! This is such a nice compliment to strictly dumpling as it has a more vlog feeling but I love them all! Great job Mikey! Xx
Aw, I wish we got some more Chicago! I've lived here in the Chicago burbs my whole life but I have no idea what's good in Chinatown because my parents are super unadventurous people. Now that I'm more independent I can try foods they won't eat. Like tofu!
Yet another drool inducing video. I keep catching myself with my mouth open. It’s gotta stop! You mentioned your chili oil that I have been waiting in anticipation of for a long time. It is you and your videos that got me to enjoy hot chili oil but I want to try your own brand. Hope it’s available soon. Cheers, Colin.
I don't comment much because I'm too busy drooling over all the delicious food you eat.. Then, immediately I need to find a PHO or BBQ spot to eat.. Thank you for all your videos.. -A hungry mail lady from Los Angeles
Not sure which is better: the food, your friend from insider, or your mom. They are all so great, but the ladies are definitely the best. Good foods and great companies, what more do we need from life?
Mike you’re in Chicago?! Man :) gotta try that place now!!! You gotta try this Italian place called la scraola!! Amazing food! And tacos from the south side if you dare cross that path haha
Mike! Being so you vlog a lot in New York, so I’m left to assume you live in New York, anyway if you was to visit south jersey. I don’t even wanna be in your blogs, I just wanna show you great restaurants in my opinion in south jersey. You’re literally my favorite TH-camr.
wow i gotta say that hello fresh is really cool? i mean fresh veggies being delivered to you and exactly everything you need for a fancy recipe. Good sell Mikey because Im pretty hooked
I love your videos Mikey! Your mom’s cooking looks so delicious, maybe she can share her recipe for the fish you were eating (what kind of fish, ingredients she used, how she cooked it) thank you so much in advance! I will definitely purchase your hot chili oil as soon as it launches and more power to you! ❤️
oh my! just bumped into your channel and so glad I found it. This episode especially, really hit home btw.... literally (as a flushing native myself). Love it!
Finally in Chicago! It's a little touristy, but check out either of the 2 Joy Yee's, one is a huge food menu + boba shop and the other is hotpot and ramen! Also there's a pretty good Xi'an place, good pork buns
Hi Mikey. I absolutely LOVE watching your videos, they're ALWAYS great videos!!! The problem I have is where I live. I live in a small city named Rouyn Noranda in northern Quebec (Where POUTINE originated from :D ) where the only type of restaurants are pizza,burgers and of course POUTINE!! I grew up in a big city where I was surrounded by many different cultures and many types of restaurants. I miss that SO MUCH!! Being able to go to restaurants and order out food with different flavors from different cultures is something I enjoy ...well,..just as much as you do :D . When I watch you eat, it's obvious how much you're enjoying the food. You've basically become my source to food from other cultures, so thank you for that. :) I miss being able to enjoy foods like that...I miss it SO much!! ANd let's face it...making it yourself,at home IMO...just doesn't compare. lol Thank you so much for all the hard work and long hours that you put into your videos to take us along all the awesome food and traveling journey's you go on. Wishing you all the best. :)
Mike please come back to chicago and next time PLEASE let your fans know you're in town. Having a meal with you in my home towm of chicago is literally on my bucket list. Im sure others agree! :)
You came to Chicago almost a year ago and I missed it. But the first restaurant you went to, I forgot the name, literally skimp you on the filling and is only for people who never experienced dumplings and or wontons before
Hello Mic Mikey. Wish i were there sharing that yummy food. I dont care what you eat you make it look like the best tasting thing in the world. And to be honest way over half the things you order i would not eat lol. But you still make it look like heaven..... Have a great day my friend 😁
You know how some people make big purchases on impulse when they step into a store to eye shop. Your channel is kind of like those stores for me. Your videos "inspired" me to do a solo trip to japan. I spent close to 2 grand just on food in 7 days there. after watching this, I have to get to Elmhurst, Flushing and Chicago. I live in NY. Is it crazy to go to Chicago for a day trip for food? hahha
Amazing video. I'm glad to see her back in your channel ( excuse me, I don't remember her name for the life of me). I'm so excited for your possible hot oil launch in the future and the project. Take care!
Patiently waiting for your hot oil launch! I have zero doubt it's gonna be good since it's mikey chen brand Please make it available for sale in Asia!!!
When are you coming back to the Boston area? We're not far. I thank you for introducing me to Flushing. Cảm ơn in advance or شكرا، since my Arabic is miles ahead of my Vietnamese
Hey Mike love your shows there Awesome, why not send the other 2 your trying to produce to the same company as your original and see if they can make it to your satisfaction?
I don’t like gooey seafood pancakes either! Whenever my mom asks me why I don’t eat it, I tell her it’s too gooey and I get the side eye 😂 flavor is always on par but the texture gets to me. I’m guessing it’s because the seafood releases a lot of natural juices while it fries? I love chive and kimchi pancakes though! Happy travels and eating!
Can you do a video of your house now that it is more furnished and polished? I'm one of your avid fan here in the Philippines. When you come back to the Philippines, I will invite you to my home and we will have a feast. More power to you and your channels.

This man is enjoying his fast metabolism while he can. Go for it dude. Go for it.
It's not metabolism, he works out a lot.

Do you follow Chicago's best?
Agreed

The mood music you use in these videos as you cook is so soothing. Nothing better

He's frekin rich. Gd luck bro

Uuurrfff "when I grow up"? U look like u in ur early 30s base on that pfp.....😌

I’d love more Chicago episodes! I need to know some good places to try!
You and Herrine would be the cutest couple ever! Exploring new eating destinations together. 😍💘💝
Yess!!!! Finally one in Chicago!!!! Thank you!!!!!

13:18 I could live on mapo tofu forever. I always have all the ingredients. Making it tomorrow.
Awesome you're in Chicago! Be sure to check out Argyle, Mitsuwa, and Korean restaurants here!
I don't comment much because I'm too busy drooling over all the delicious food you eat..
Then, immediately I need to find a PHO or BBQ spot to eat..
Thank you for all your videos..

This seemed like a more personal vlog, it was really nice! I would love to watch more of these.
Not sure which is better: the food, your friend from insider, or your mom. They are all so great, but the ladies are definitely the best. Good foods and great companies, what more do we need from life?
I'm pretty sure the owner at 13:10 put a curse on you for saying that statement
hahahahaha
I saw your comment at that exact time lol
love your home vids and your house in the countryside is spectacular with all the trees.
I so want your house thats literally my dream home in the middle of the woods peaceful and quiet❤❤
Mike you’re in Chicago?! Man :) gotta try that place now!!! You gotta try this Italian place called la scraola!! Amazing food! And tacos from the south side if you dare cross that path haha
My favorite channels on youtube: Strictly Dumpling and Mikey Chen
Well, porn can wait. Mikey Chen just uploaded a new vid.
Niice
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 how bout that?!!!!
YEAHHHHHHHH
It’s still porn, of a different type 😂
@@leolldankology I think you gotta ask an octopus for that
You’re my favorite dude to watch and explore and eat all these different types of foods man , much love
"I try not to eat super super late"
then there is me. It is 5 am and i am binge watching Mikey videos while eating a bag of doritos. oops
Mike! Being so you vlog a lot in New York, so I’m left to assume you live in New York, anyway if you was to visit south jersey. I don’t even wanna be in your blogs, I just wanna show you great restaurants in my opinion in south jersey. You’re literally my favorite TH-camr.
My dad sneezes when he’s full that’s how my family knows he’s full
Just to throw a completely honest thought out there...if I ate that much and then walked as much as Mikey does, I would have a pooping emergency
Ikr, 2 chicken breasts in one sitting like nothing! My stomach hurt a little just by watching.
Babyboy!.... No matter where you go.. I'd be happy to see you come home.... Soooo cute!... (Jackie Chan)... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Too much!...
wow i gotta say that hello fresh is really cool? i mean fresh veggies being delivered to you and exactly everything you need for a fancy recipe. Good sell Mikey because Im pretty hooked

I like your family scene. It's warm-hearted.
Chicago Chinatown is my childhood. Saint Anna is the real OG
Mom and dad. Awesome. Great family involvement!
I love how he is so honest !
Been going to Three Happiness in Chinatown for over 20 years. Love it
Your mom had steamed fish for breakfast!!! Moms cooking is the best‼︎
Calling it, it was TH-cam Rewind.
Happy Halloween Mikey and all the Dumplings!

I've never had Hot Oil before. I want yours to be my first. When can we order it?

Best part of being a farmer, fresh food. Nothing like it.

Yeah right, I was in Chicago's Chinatown likely at the same time this was filmed. I would've met up.

Rockin' the foodie existence, as usual! Yum!
On point as usual Mikey, I'll have to try out that food delivery thingy LOL C U in d next video
You came to Chicago almost a year ago and I missed it. But the first restaurant you went to, I forgot the name, literally skimp you on the filling and is only for people who never experienced dumplings and or wontons before
LOL! Left his home to go on an eating adventure. Comes back home, hungry!

This is my favourite video so far!!
Cool Korean clam bowl & ppancake! Also Chinese in Chicago! 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Someone has to say it....relationship goals
Ugh! So upset! I was just watching you on my way home and thinking to myself “when is he coming to Chicago?” And I missed you!!!!
Your mom is beautiful, and that's gotta be the best restaurant in all of New York, your mom's kitchen
