When Mikey said, "I met someone" with a big smile on his face my whole face lit up too! So happy to see our dumpling getting everything he deserves.
So trueeee. 💖
i screamed "My BOY"
Our dumpling has found his hot sauce ;)
Is it Christine by any chance? 🥰
Sure want to hear about and see the “someone!” ❤️❤️
THATS MY DAD'S FILIPINO BUFFET 🥺🥺 YOU MADE HIM REALLY HAPPY TY
Always wanted to try this place. After this I probably will today.
I would visit Houston just to try this place! It beats the NYC Filipino buffets in terms of variety.
I just moved to Texas and my wallet was stolen. Once I get my documents and find a job I'll visit but right now I'm homeless and starving but definitely looking forward to it
for real? Lol wow!
Does Christine ever feel like a third wheel between you and your food? 😂 I love how much you love food.
lmao hes probably like "its not what it looks like" when Christine catches him complimenting his hot oil
Lol 🤣
He definitely ain't tapping that..he friend zone for life lmao
Christine gets home and hear Mikey:"Oh yeeees baby come to daddy, hmmmm..." to his dinner 😂😂😂
Do we know which Christine he is dating
My best friend’s family owns TJs, thank you for the love!!! 🥰
I’m so happy for you. Eating well with a new bae. You seem so content. It’s awesome to watch!
I'm nosy, who's the new babe? 😆
I'm nosy, who's the new babe? 😅😂😂
So glad that you are happy, wishing success in the opening of your restaurant
I will come to your restaurant opening day my friend
Where can I get your hot oil Mike?
@@killershootin6934 The link is in the description
Where is his new restaurant going to be located? I remember him talking about it but I forgot where he said it was going to be.
1 plate buffet?! Yes! Very Filipino Mikey, very Filipino.
And for $12 all that good food? May God bless their place. Hoping people keep on coming to them.
not true, Buffet in the Philippines, allow you do have dozens of plates. Sadly lots of buffet served mediocre Filipino food items.
$12?! Wtf 1 dish alone would $12. That’s such a steal!! Filipino food ain’t cheap in Canada. Would love to go there someday
lol lots of filipinos in Canada thats why
How much does it cost over there?
Where is this at? I’m in Dallas and I don’t mi nd driving 5 hrs if the food is worth it!
"Nothing happens by accident" Remember that Mikey. It's no accident that you and Christine have come together and now share these experiences!
who is Christen?
@@vungocminh81 girlfriend
@@CC-mu7yi I know, but was she ever in his video?
What does she look like??
@@vungocminh81 I haven't seen her
Christine sounds very nice and sweet. We’re happy for you and we’re all hoping it works out!
@@bryanagustin5886 what?
Watching you eat, and listening to you describe what you are eating, and your relationship with everyone and everything around you, makes me very happy. We need more people like you in this world.
I suffer with depression and not wanting to eat, your show always inspires me. Love you and so happy for you with all the changes!
Depression is hell, hope you’re not having a rough time.
A lot of people including people with ED have said he helps them eat, which is wonderful
Hope it gets better fam I’m not sure how that is but I got bad anxiety and that messes with me sometimes but yeah TH-cam videos really help especially ones like this
I´ve struggled with depression before and TH-cam definitely is so great for helping:)
I wish you the absolute best!:)
I dealt with depression by gardening. At times it doesn't help when plants die but most of the time, it takes you away from that hell.
Gardening Perth Western Australia TH-cam has thousands of videos where Depress people can all converge like born again christians do. This is a video about dumplings and food.
Happy looks good on you, Mikey!! Congratulations on things not going as planned, but working out! Always remember what you said: "hard work, and a little good luck"
“You can have this one and I’ll have the other one so we don’t have to fight over it.”
Lol Christine is smart thinking. You have met your match Mikey 😏
Thanks for featuring Filipino food in this vlog. And your facial expression while eating really shows how you highly appreciate the food.
mike really made me appreciate asian food. i’ve always thought flavors i grew up with (fish sauce, vinegar, fermented shrimp paste, etc) are really not meant to be enjoyed by ppl outside my country because they smell or taste too strong. it really put into perspective that and that a lot of the “exotic” food westerners won’t ever dare touch are actually quite normal and enjoyed by plenty of others in asia as well.
My man Mickey!! I’m happy for you man. You have helped me when I was down and depressed and I would go to restaurants and eat while watching your content. 😂😂 I’m married now and from time to time I’ll still go out by myself and watch your videos while I eat. Thanks for your amazing videos. God bless.
This is so touching & great... thank you Gustavo!
Never forget... I totally get it!
It warms my heart seeing one of my favorite TH-camrs appreciate food from my home country. Thanks for sharing great content as always Mike! 💙
13:24 Mike doesn’t stalk people, he stalks fresh food innocently coming out to the buffet!
Mikey is so humble. Thanks Mike from the little people. We love you.
What little people?
Thank you for adoring Filipino food, Mike! We appreciate how you highlight how good our food is in your vlogs. Sending love from the PH! 🇵🇭❤️
We filipinos are better race than anybody else. I love you kanbayan
Mikey will always be welcome in our Filipino table.
🥰
And yes, Lechon Kawali is EVERYTHING.
😁😋😆❤️
So happy to see you're enjoying Filipino dishes. I'm from the Philippines and seeing you all giddy just looking at all those Filipino food made my day ❤️ Hope you can come back to the Philippines once this pandemic ends and we'll cook you a sinigang for sure! 😁
LOL I was just here Sat. I love it!!
Makes me so happy that you met someone!!! Hope she has a big appetite cuz I bet yalls dates include the best food ☺️
Mikey is always a breath of fresh air in such a worrisome time. Im very thankful for him and others like him that take us away from all the worry.
I'm with you. I would go eat at Filipino buffet EVERYDAY if there's one.
I love how he savour and appreciates Filipino food. Thank you for recognizing our dish!
Great to know that all the changes that has been happening is bringing you happiness. Very happy for you and hope you have an amazing time when you go back to Chicago!
Is he based in Texas or Chicago?
Yessss!!! 💯💯❤
@@blackmantis3130 Texas, NY... he moves around, but is building businesses as well.
If I'm not mistaken. Sounds like it'll be Chicago now.
Keep the Houston videos coming! This is opening so many doors and bringing me out of my bubble. Thank you!!
Awesome sauce Edward & good for youuu!!! You've got this!
@@pickledjalapeno9482 My culinary adventures await!
Omg, TJ's was my favorite filipino buffet in houston. Sometimes we come here completely forgetting they don't have buffet til 10am so we just order their "silogs". I'm glad you like the food!
Where is TJs?
@@kramerb3758 Pearland
That buffet looked so fun, so many options!! Wishing you all the happiness and success for this year and beyond, you deserve it Mikey! Take care, and thank you for the videos.
Who else loves to see Mike happy with food and love he deserves all this happiness 😊
you've got that "new love glow" Mikey!.....could not have happened to a nicer person.....love you!
There's no space for air in that Lumpia 🙆🏼♂️😍
Let's give Mike all the 💜♥️💙 whenever he comes to the Philippines 🇵🇭
Been watching your videos for years now and it's gotten to the point where I'm very happy to see your life's been working out for the better! Thank you for the content during these hard times, hope your business goes well!
Your happiness is contagious, Mikey! So glad you have Christine. 🥰✨
Man,whenever i see your videos they always help me eat my own food and motivating to love eating. Your channel as a whole helped me go through my eating disorders by being an awesome person and showing the new things you eat every now and then. Thank you for being here.
I like your spirit in everything you've been through- you never let those things to bring you down. Much love and happiness for you, and i love the food. Happy eating!
I love how you love Filipino Mikey. You ate with gusto! Proud Filipino fan here! ❤️🇵🇭
Seeing you so giddy over the buffet and the Vietnamese place makes me happy. Little jealous of that “prawn”. It’s like baby lobster.
I love seeing Mikey being happy!
Humba is a Filipino dish that is introduced by the Chinese merchant during the pre colonial days the Chinese called it "Hong Ma" which means braised pork belly.
You just got yourself a new subscriber and avid fan! 😉 I’m a Filipina trucker here in Canada and I drool when I watch you eat! 😅 I love all your videos, especially the ones featuring Filipino food. You ought to be Philippines’ adopted son! Thank you so much for appreciating our food, culture, and almost every single thing about us. Thank you for contributing to put us “on the map!” You are definitely my brother from another mother! When everything eases up and I’m able to visit the US, I will find you in TX and bring you chickenjoy, peach mango pie, and halo-halo from Jollibee! All the love and respect!❤️🙏🏻🇵🇭
Seeing you eat makes me feel happy. Its like a good stress reliever after seeing all those assignments, quizzes and modules that needs to be passed.
I love your perspective on food and look forward to your future endeavors! Im so happy that you are happy and found a nice lady!
Damn! Hearing that Mikey, probably one of the most eligible bachelors on the planet, has finally found someone is such happy news!
I'm genuinely happy for everything that's happening in your life, Mikey. After such a hard time, here you are. And with a sweet, beautiful and food enthusiast bae by your side. I mean... Guess even the food is tastier now hahaha so glad! Love this channel
Seeing you happy. Makes me inspired that someday too, I'm gonna be happy - not because I'm going to be rich but because I'm got things going my way.
God bless you Mikey.
Wow Mike...I glad to know that my instincts were right. I'm so happy for you and your girl. I wish you much happiness and success together.
Man it's so uplifting to see how great things are going in your favor. Each new vid, that electrifying smile, I love your vids! Usually eat while watching your videos, makes whatever I'm eating taste so much better lmao
14:40 our boiii mikey has found the one for him!!!! Jealous yet very very happy for him ❤❤❤
man I've lived in Houston for years and you're checking out places I've never been to... thanks for the recs!
haha me too!
Same for me in my area. Reason I don’t venture out in the wild often because of no money lol
@Data Fix 🤣🤣 wtf
Love how they have the English for everything at the buffet. Most Asian buffets always have those dishes that look good, but have no label so I just skip it and get more egg drop soup. Definitely gotta try this place
Kudos to you for for trying and liking papaitan! It’s something I could never get into or like but my entire family loves it
Mikey I’m so happy for you! I hope things that are meant to be are what works out best for you. You deserve to be happy above all else. 🥰🥰
so fun to watch this and you having a blast. made me giggle when you kind of growled talking about the soup.
Riiiight... best stalker! I know they're sick of his crap & maybe happy at the same time! Hahaha
I honestly thought that when he cracked open the green bun, there would be broccoli inside... 🤣 That would have been funny.
I know you're just making it up, but those buns would never contain American broccoli
😂😂he would've been sooooo disappointed
@@rogerh2694 papapapapapaap0p
@@dstewart33rd Is that that funny saxophone music?
@@rogerh2694 Yeah, I know. That occurred to me, but the funny thought remained. 🤣 Still, I bet someone somewhere has done it.
Now I'm wondering why Mike hates broccoli but appears to enjoy gai lan. To me they taste ~the same. Texture I guess?
And here I am eating my cheap pancakes 😄
Every time I watch Mikey I feel like I've missed out on something in life!
Congratulations on meeting Christine!! Best of luck! I just recently subscribed to your channel. Love the content!!
I really like how you love Filipino food so muchhh. Makes me so happy. Philippines miss you! 💕
*You 100% deserve to be popular!* 🖤💗
YAY! You met someone! So happy for you. Sending you, Blessings, wisdom and mutual understanding.
Really great news Mike glad you are so content, and smashing dishes one after the other as always 😂
I am happy everything is going great for you. A lot of blessings, like you said everything happens for a reason. ☺️
im lucky that my mom loves to cook for me because i get to eat one of these dishes every day - but all of them in one place?! My filipino butt is rolling in jealousy 🥲
Im really happy to see you happy too Mike! You’ve been making all of us happy, and it’s just about your turn 😄💕!
The food there is amazing, we eat there very often!!! They do serve early/breakfast longsilog, bangsilog, etc... but the lunch/dinner buffet does start later or actually better said on time( pilipino time)!!! I HIGHLY recommend trying
Wishing you all the best Mickey. So glad you are very happy. And hoping the opening of the restaurant went well. Great video.
So very happy for you. I think food tastes so much better when you're eating within someone you love. Magic!
Happy Friday, Mike! My favorite is sinigang too next to paksiw na bangus 😊 this made me homesick 🥲
Wow, seeing someone not Vietnamese try bún đậu mắm tôm and love it put a smile on my face, not everyone can handle the shrimp paste or “mắm tôm”, even Vietnamese
As a Houston girl watching my city's food get awesome reviews from you gives me pride. I've been to Pha Lau and it was soooooo freaking good!
Thats why i love strictly dumplings he knows how to appreciate every food he eats and if he doesn't he says it. been watching since 2018😍 love it
Mike is GLOWING from love aww
Very happy for you Mike! Love your channel, I could watch you with my kids or my parents....and you always keep it classy. I've learned a lot about Asian cuisine from your channel, and appreciate the time you put into your videos :)
I’m so glad you found someone! You look very happy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love it that Mikey knows Filipino food like a local.
Good food and good company, so happy for you Mikey!! 😊
Hi Mikey, thank you for showcasing Filipino cuisine in your vlogs. More power to you.
Beef stew in tomatoes you ate is Beef Caldereta/Pork Stew in Coconut milk- Bicol ( hailed from a province in Luzon, famous for its use of spicy chili in their recipes) Express/ Pork humba is sweetened with Pineapple. Pork/Beef Sinigang is close to Thai's Tom yum based on Sampaloc/ Tamarind fruit/ Dinuguan - pork innards cooked with fresh pork blood/ kare kare is beef oxtail. With ox tripe Stewed in peanut sauce. / Menudo is pork with liver as its based and tomatoes
So happy you are happy. You deserve it. Can’t wait to see how you move forward with your channel
Glad you found your happiness Mike , if anyone deserves it you do my friend
Beautiful show , stay safe whenever you travel and God Bless 🙏

Mickey, I wish you happiness thru out this year and thru your birthday and New Years. I get so sad when you are alone on those days.
The Filipino food buffet looks really authentic. All the food looks just like how we prepare them here in the Philippines.
When you said "I met someone" I literally jumped out my seat. I'm super happy for you my brother 💓. I need to meet this girl lol
Love watching your videos. Love that you are happy!
Salivating watching all the good stuff,
I wonder if Mikey loves his hot oil more than his girlfriend 😂
Thank you for enjoying Filipino cuisine ❤️
Never fade Mike, love your genuine review for all food specially Filipino :)

Let’s goooo! My boy got a boo thang! Happy to see you happy fam!
Love seeing you happy Mike !!
Yes good
Thank you for the video. Very inspiring!
TJ's is definitely the best Filipino buffet in the Houston area. Glad you got to try it.
Love looks good on ya Mikey boy... When you even mention her name... You light up
Is Christine his gf’s name? Do you think the girl he was having food with is the girlfriend? We were so intrigued so we rewinded and got a glimpse of her! LOL. Mikey’s heart is healed.
I think so…I did the same! Lol!
Mickey has said he is in a relationship with Christine 😆
Only able to see the chest part but no head.
That Filipino Buffet feels like home, I wanna go there 🤤
So happy you met someone, stay happy!
Crazy after all the time seeing you travel the world and now seeing you enjoy food in my neighborhood. Glad you enjoyed.
