This comment is a bit late but just wanted to say this. I have always been impressed by Mike’s taste buds (and he does know his stuff). He can definitely taste ! 14:41 When he said the local lobster (known as rock lobster or pitik) tasted sweeter than the normal lobster , I was so glad he pointed that out, not many can tell the difference. He was able to point that out even with all the sauces . In terms of lobster, no matter how big or small, in terms of flavour, that rock lobster reigns supreme in terms of flavour. Other countries don’t have that kind of lobster and majority of the people (including Pinoys) do not know about it. In terms of price, it’s a tad bit on the more on the expensive side but when you buy it in Panay or Palawan, you can get those fresh at significantly lower prices . The problem is there isn’t enough to buy as normal consumers as they are almost always bought by resorts and restos in different parts of the country.

I’m Not going to be able to finish watching this cause us peasants have to go to work but I already liked it cause you know....Mikey doesn’t disappoint 😊
Just discovered you about 2 weeks ago. Wow!! I've binge watched your vlogs so much that I've been to several countries with you, on a few very swanky flights, many nice hotels and countless restaurants all over the world and in the states both east and west and in between not to mention road trips. I live in Alaska but when I go back home to Hawaii, I will definitely go to those places you visited. Kalua pig is a fave. Will make a drive up to the north shore for some shrimp. Love your Haleiwa shirt you wore in Taiwan! Think it was Taiwan. :) Las Vegas buffet!? Yum! Anyway, glad to be able to tag along with all your travel/food adventures!!! Your parents. Sweet. I'm a fan.
This is why i love his channel unbiased review. If he really did not like the food he would tell it out to you straight! Not like other food vloggers out there.
I'm happy that you are experiencing these wonderful places and things. You do a great job promoting them. That explains your good name. Take care, Bonnie This video is very nice. Thank you!

The cost is really low for the quality .. would cost 2-3X in USA definitely not as good seafood now the deserts in America are better from what I see. Long plane ride even from west coast
"A little nibble gets the job done..." LOL - Mikey.....the words of a true foodie poet. Thanks for allowing we viewers to live vicariously through your delectable food adventures. It's no wonder I'm severely hungry every time I watch one of your videos. The truffle rice dish......OMG.
Mikey coming back with a bunch of little pandas “look I got more of his friends back!” then proceeds to rip one’s head right down the middle and me going 😱😱😱
Mike Chen, I've been watching Strictly Dumpling and Mikey Chen for a long time. Your channels are by far my favorite of it's kind. Quite a while back you promised to put a list together of your favorite noodle shops/restaurants in New York. I am in the process of planning a trip to New York City and have been unsuccessful in finding the episode that was this list of your favs in New York. Please help me locate it so I can incorporate them into my trip. Thanks, You're the best!
You got me at ‘stuffed cheese’ lobster and tinolang manok and a whole lot more! I subscribed! I’ve been to Solaire but haven’t tried Fresh Int’l Buffet. Cheers to gastronomical adventures.
Thanks God for your show been off from work for three months dealing with breast cancer and chemo, stay home watching the videos thank you for sharing all your travels eating delicious food you make my day 😀
it’s more an aroma than a flavor: earthy (like dirt), musky, wood. the flavor is somewhat like mild shallot, but when used as ingredient it greatly enhances flavor of the food. they look like what a truffle chocolate looks like.
Was I in the middle of something? Yes. Yes I was. Did I stop what I was doing in order to watch this video? Yes. Yes I did. Do I pick this video over what I was doing? Yes. Yes I do. ❤️❤️❤️
Mike, can you create a list of your personal WORLD BUFFET RANKINGS? I think I speak for all your fans when I say that it would be AMAZING
Dan Zhang *Agree!*
Spiral buffet is the number 1.
And he just said the others is one of the best.
Or would it be ama-Zhang??? sorry, had to do it. ✌...
yeah like the Michelin Guide but only buffets :)
@@acetv5333 He just said in this video that he recommends this buffet more than Spiral Buffet. 20:53
Mickey's fans need to start a travel club so we can travel to these places together.
Terri Ellis omg this is such a good idea
?? Like Disney land Mickey Mouse?
What do you think about the situation in Lebanon??
Who has that type of money?
can i come?
For realz the Philippines has some of the greatest buffets in the world.

the cassava pudding thing is called “nilupak”, tinolang manok is best with lots of ginger, best soup for people with colds 😊
"Pandas are black, white and Asian"
*mind-blowing*
This dudes airfare reward points must be monstrous.
And every restaurant bill counts as a business tax deduction.
Yup most of his flights are probably free or he just pays half price cause of all the points. Getting a certain airline credit card is a huge must
He probably lives tax free as a result
Daniel Burgess: He never pays. There mostly invited gigs.
Brilliant But Blue *they're*
Flying to a country just for a buffet. Does anyone have a better life than Mikey?
No.
Aliens 😂
why else do people travel?
Well it's obviously that his vlog is to travel to find different taste of delicacies in different distination...duh
Actually living in a buffet, or actually owning the buffet
The Manila seafood buffet was outrageous. I have never seen anything that looked that good. About ready to lick the screen.
@daadad eqeqweqew both were fantastic
Actually that looks like typical hotel buffet in Asia/South East Asia. All good hotel buffet.
HighlyClassifiedUser Solaire is a resort casino
Man dont do it, your wife might find you weird
I think Philippines is really serious when it comes to buffet . And maybe they have 3 of top 10 best buffet restaurant in the world
I'm getting notice that Mikey is a great Fan of Manila Philippines Buffet!! is this his 3rd or 2nd in a row this year?
And then theres another buffet video uploaded recently after this
U mean in a ROE 😊
He loves buffet, food no matter where he is. That is what I love about him. 😘
I think it is his 3rd time
@C Juice San yang kamay an buffet

Buffets in Asia are 10x better than in the USA.
Cassidy F. Food in general is 10x better then food in the USA.
@Rude One That's true. Everywhere in Asia but the Indian countries. Hopefully, they up their standards soon.
The prices are crazy cheap too!
Buffets in Asia cannot be better than an entire country.
for sure!
i will go to philippines and try their buffet!
It's cheap compare to buffet in USA

its really nice to know that everytime mike is here in the philippines 🇵🇭 he enjoyed the filipino food so much ..
Mike: makes cute argument for pandas being she international symbol of racial harmony.
Also mike: OMNOMNOMNOM! I eat racial equality for dessert.
Grow up.
Bestest I've seen so far, thank you
