I'm from NYC and think London has the best Chinatown in the Western world. Love the ambiance, restaurant quality, variety and the fact that there are no cars. So nice in the Summer and Fall.
My daughter loves Chinatown. We go all the time. I don't even want to know how much money I've spent there over the years. We always get dinner there and buy loads in the supermarkets to take home. It's the best. We are going this weekend, so thanks for the recommendations. Great vid.
Just started watching you mate think you can do well on TH-cam great personality and you don’t drag anything out straight to the point. Much love from liverpool mate keep it up.
Really enjoyed to is video, I work round the corner so I go for a walk around china town most days, I spend a bit more than your budget at lunchtimes but it’s good to see the different options. I’ll venture into one of those supermarkets next time. Keep going mate 🎉
The bit between the yolk and egg white can turn blue or grey after it's been cooked, I'm guessing they did those the day before and steamed them to serve the next day if it was warm, for it to look like that, completely safe though.
Not necessarily cooked for days. All it takes is MINUTES to overcook thr yolk. That's where the colour comes from, I've watched videos on boiling eggs at different stages of cooking 😊
I remember avoiding those cheap buffet food when I was in London but I’ll have to trust you on that last recommendation as I’ve had most of the foods you tried on this video and I know for a fact that they’re actually good.
Yeh mate me too, in fact I had this EXACT place about 4 years ago and it wasn’t great at all, maybe it’s different ownership or maybe I went right at the end of the day last time I can’t remember 🤣
@@CharlieVlogsI’ve been to a few of these buffets in china town, does the tick after a night out. They are not great but you can’t complain for the price.
We have recently started watching your videos and are currently working through your library. We play a drinking game….. every time you say ‘mate’ we have to take a shot. We average about 250 shots per video 😂😂……….MATE
That crepe is called Jian Bing. You can sometimes get different pickles in there as well. It's also not chilli oil, its a slightly sweet chilli paste that's used. The crispy part is a fried crispy cracker. Additionally, the tea eggs are also boiled in soy sauce and spices, the tea itself is almost optional these days. The sesame balls are called Jian Dui and the filling is a red bean paste (not mung beans as the woman stated as that would be green). Mr Wu is the quintessential cheap as chips buffet to fill yourself up.
@@CharlieVlogs Try Wong Kei next time, it's literally where you were standing having your Mr Wu box. Wong Kei is the cheapest non-buffet sit down in Chinatown and is known for its famous bad service from staff, though nowadays it's fine.
Loving your Channel. Fun, cool, gritty vibe. I'm a math teacher, and tomorrow I will go all day using the word 5er with the students. Time to have fun with the lads.
Oh my god, Mr Wu. I eat there so much as a teenager, cheapest pre-rave buffet in the area (even cheaper back in those days) Vegan now so haven't been in years, but I still look at the window and enjoy the memories/smell of the red crispy chicken dish..
I loveddd tangy toms 😋The food is very cheap esp for central ldn! It's amazing that you got a takeaway box from the buffet for £5! The strawberry teddy bears looked good and so did the crepe!!
Banging vlog mate,if you ever fancy a classic Londoners day out food vlog by the sea ...get down to Margate in the summer.Recommend the Olympia bakery for that sweet tooth sugar hit.
@@CharlieVlogs if you do drop me a message and I'll chuck you some places to hit...there are loads of little food spots when the sun comes out.Keep up the good work my man!!👍👍
Come on my guy Charlie, you know Asians got the best snacks and drinks and food out here That sausage in the bun that you had is 10 times better than Greggs sausage rolls you are the man big up
Just watching for my first time!! Wonderful energy! Very informative videos of around London!! Better than most you tubers!!! I love that you even give travel instructions 😮😂yo going far on you tube mate...love this🎉
Enjoyable stuff for sure, makes me wonder, would it have been better if you'd researched before hand. Different type/style of video though I'm sure. What's your thoughts on a video covering interesting traditional london pubs & pub foods?
Saw you do a food vid a while ago and this one seems alot higher quality! Good one mate, should try the Chinese buffets around there, can be alright or really bad and the really bad ones are entertaining.
Nice video mate, London is one of the best places to just boot about and pick up food on the go. Most of the time i can't be arsed sitting in a restaurant for 2 hours.
It’s crazy cos having lived in London all my life I don’t think I have ever bought food in the centre , especially Leicester Square or China town. Maybe a Wendy’s on Oxford street with the children. Love your videos and am thinking the “ artisan “ food everywhere outside zone 1 now more expensive than tourist food. £4.50 for a tiny coffee and £5 for a fucking muffin. Made me want to jump on the bus to China town !!
Tell me about it I am in East Dulwich - used to be a few pound for a red stripe with the old rastas watching cricket - now it’s all deli’s and “ spaces” and artisan bakeries. Not a greggs in sight annoyingly. I can get CBD sausage rolls for £6 😂😂😂

I totally agree 👍🏻

Top stuff. Exposing the food secrets of CT London. Mind me asking what you wearing? what kind satchel/bag? 🤔
Just subbed great content
Love mate

Oooooh next time
Love jian bing (egg crepe) some put meats in it
Trust me! Next time I will
I'm SHOCKED you got 2 chinese bags of snacks and a drink for £5. Asian snacks are normally EXPENSIVE
Your ractions are priceless 😆😂
Morrisons do four long sausage rolls wrapped in flaky pastry freshly made for £2.50
In china town which is central London??
The black on the egg yolk is normal and just happens when eggs are overcooked.
Got it
Whats that drink in ?
"nahh shut ya mouth"🤣
LEGEND
My g 😁
You should try the piss eggs!
I can see your channel expose mate . Stevie from Scotland . come to Glasgow ill show you around mate haggis deep fried mars bars all that stuff

You should not litter
Even you paid me 1000 pounds I don't eat nothing on trere
Do a Halal edition!!!
Stop saying “mate”
Nah
@@CharlieVlogsdefinitely keep saying "mate"! 😂
Big love for all the support recently guys, you've been SMASHING it! More videos coming twice a week, shorts every single day as usual! 😁😁😁
❤️
@@CharlieVlogs yes!
Mung beans are beans, mate. Not fruit. Looking forward to that tea egg @CharlieVlogs
The egg yolk is green on the outside because it's overcooked, as it was cooked over a long period of time
Take a shot whenever you hear, "Mate", "Oh My God!" Or "mmm!" 😂. Just discovered you. Welcome to our culture. Great video. Subbed.
Looks like red bean sauce. I didn’t know what kind of bean that was but sounds like she said mung bean
Yeh I think it was mung bean sauce
It'll be red bean paste/anko which is made from adzuki beans, the taiyaki you had filled with ice cream is quite often filled with it.
How come you're so slim mate.? Where all that food go? Nice stuff
I know mate 🤣 must be a fast metabolism
Love your energy, mate. I just saw you pop up in my recommended and loved the video. Keep it up lad
Big love man 😁

Big love! Respect 😁❤️
The tortilla in the crepe was dried bean curd and the croissant ingredient was a piece of the dough stick you pointed out in the menu 2:58 😂
Got you mate!!!! Was DELICIOUS
Enjoyable stuff for sure, makes me wonder, would it have been better if you'd researched before hand. Different type/style of video though I'm sure.

Thank you man!!! The buffet I tried was the cheapest and was delicious, maybe I’ll just stick to that one 🤣🤣🤣
Red bean paste is sugary, the white gulp is gultonous rice unfried and the outside is the fried covered in sesame seeds
Was delicious
Nice video mate, London is one of the best places to just boot about and pick up food on the go. Most of the time i can't be arsed sitting in a restaurant for 2 hours.
Mate I barely ever do, much prefer grabbing it and leaving 🤣
Bro you do variations of the same face when you taste the food but it’s perfect , it’s all we need to see .keep it going love it
🤣 thanks man
茶叶蛋，豆沙饼，哈哈
The blue tint in the egg is just what happens when egg is overcooked
Gotcha
love this guy so nice and great laugh to see love his videos top man keep it up
Legend!
The pineapple pork bun from the bakery is definitely a must
Ooooh I’ll try it next time!
Bro that Matcha/Green tea ice-cream is one of the best things in London.
Mate it was SO good

Yeh man honestly it’s so cheap in central if you know where to look, trust me mate the gentrified areas make me sick some of the prices I see 😭😭
Tell me about it I am in East Dulwich - used to be a few pound for a red stripe with the old rastas watching cricket - now it’s all deli’s and “ spaces” and artisan bakeries. Not a greggs in sight annoyingly. I can get CBD sausage rolls for £6 😂😂😂
Brrrrruuuuuuuuup!
BOOP BOOP
All you need is Chinatown, Greggs, Morleys and the hot foods section of M&S and you can keep your food costs low in London.
What is Morley's? You must be joking if you think that's low cost for everyone. I get Greggs and M&S when discounted 😢😂
Love this channel, makes me laugh
Thank you man!
yessss my g keep these great vids coming love it!!!!
Big up my guy 😁
