"You're never THERE" Truer words.... don't feel bad about being rejected by the cat. It's looking for food. And you had none. May your life be full of jiggly cake.
Mike keeps saying Asians don't eat broccoli, and then all those meals had broccoli, and they're in Asia for Asians, sooooo....LOL. Truth revealed: MIKE doesn't eat broccoli. Everybody else, however...
When Mikey make that comment about the smell of the tea and how just like a beautiful person its whats on the inside that counts...I Awww'd out loud. Beautiful statement indeed!
I’m in Taipei right now and I’ve really learned a lot of useful information from your videos. It’s a great destination and organized so that tourists who don’t speak Chinese can get around. Also I point a lot.
A two bite piece of cake.. That's a portion Mike lol. How you fit in all the food amazes me, but I love your food videos. The only problem is I have so many food allergies you keep showing me things I want to try but can't! So I tell myself to stop being pathetic and think about all the people in the world who would be grateful for any food.
Mike, you and the team should come and visit Scotland, learn where Angus beef comes from, and give haggis a try, and search for good old Nessie while your here,. Come during the summer and you can see the sun set between egg and rum ( Scottish islands) .
Corrie Venters I keep trying to convince him! I'm over in Edinburgh until next August when we move to Glasgow. My in laws are over in Dunoon, really looking forward to Christmas by Loch Long!
Hey Mike. Awesome video as always. Some answers and some questions. "There's something in the air that lets you know it's Taipei" Yes, that's is very true. I personally think it's the mood/speed of the people in Taipei plus it's style. I've always told my wife (American) that I like places where there's life. She didn't understand what I meant until she visited Taipei with me. "九層塔" (nine layer pagoda?) is what's commonly labeled in english as "Thai Basil". If it's called something different by other parts of chinese culture, I would love to know. It's a veggie/herb that I can't live without >.< Where was the place that you got 刈包 at? It's it's going to be on a strictly dumpling video, you don't have to tell me. I'll wait until the video comes out. Did you grow up with simplified or traditional chinese? If simplified, did you have any problems reading the traditional in Taiwan? Or was it not a big deal because you can always just ask verbally?
Hotels that comp Mike: “wow this place is beautiful, wonderful staff, awesome amenities.” Hotels that he paid for: “umm it’s a bit outdated, furniture is tacky, I guess it’s clean” Be honest, we appreciate those reviews
that kitty speaks a foreign language which is why she didn't understand you. lol wonderful video mike. i hope u can decide on a company to produce your hot oil!
another great vlog mikey i just love Taiwan only spent 8 hours there on a cruise ship tour but just loved it and decided i must do a land based trip there, its my favourite country next to china
Nice Hotel basic accommodations, clean and spacious, pretty city, adventurous walking trail, come to Stone Mountain GA USA and thank you for an amazing view.
I went up Elephant Mountain this past spring on a Sunday morning while visiting there and about half way up, the locals were playing ping pong. Next time I'll have to make the night trip up looks awesome.
Hey Mike, been watching your videos for years, first time leave a comment though. Love your videos. Just so you know, 九层塔 is just the Chinese name for basil.
YIBING LI We call it Thai Basil or Holy Basil here in the UK. It's difficult to get here in Edinburgh, hoping that I can find it in Glasgow when we move next summer!
I think in the video they were using regular Italian Basil, which is actually a little bit different from Thai Basil or Holy Basil. Italian Basil has smoother leaves compared to the other kind. If you have had Phó at a Vietnamese restaurant, the green leavy thing they serve you along with the bean sprouts and lime wedges is Thai Basil. I live in the states, and I don't ususally see Thai Basil at regular grocery stores often either. Maybe you can try your local Asain grocery store when you get a chance?
The Jiggly cake u ate may be much more famous in Tainan. There are more variants/flavors (e.g. sweet potato/taro/chocolate are embedded into the cake.). You probably can try it f you visit Tainan again.
Please, please, pppllleeeassse do a couple videos about tea. Especially how different cultures make tea, tea ceremonies and the best way to brew. That would be amazing!!! Love ur videos!
This is Cat from Brooklyn NY!🐱 Some people are superstitious about black cats in general. Others believe that you should never let a black cat cross your path. The cat crossed your path Mikey Boo!🐱 That's right it's not Halloween🎃🔥🎃 it's Thanksgiving.🦃OK! Turkey! 🦃 LOL!🦃 🔥😎🎃💛☮🐱
Mikey I love how excited you get about all the great places and types of food you eat. Deep fry the broccoli drench it in hot oil and fried garlic. I know you'd try it at least once.
maps.google.com.tw/maps?rlz=1CDGOYI_enTW665TW665&hl=zh-TW&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&gl=tw&entry=s&sa=X&ftid=0x3442a98585673043:0xe9aa78fb08f95aed&gmm=CgIgAQ%3D%3D here you are!
Mike next time your in Taiwan if your there for pretty long just get a tap card thing at 7--11 its cheaper sometimes and you don't have to worry about losing the coin for the train
hahaha, definitely know the "air" about taipei you are talking about, i think its the city smell brought out by the humidity of taipei. Also the jiggly cake you ate seems to be 古早味蛋糕(old style cake), they have become pretty popular the last couple years
One of the few item we disagree on i think sometimes broccoli is my favourite veg, so good stir-fryed oh and broccoli and parmesan/stilton soup, now I want that soup and spicy stir-fry for dinner such a warmer on a cold day. Love getting ideas from you even if it does come from a rabbit hole of ideas (see one thing and gives me ideas) keep up good work, your vids make me so hungry.
Okay so this might be a good place to ask this. I can't really find it anywhere else. Does anybody know if I am able to travel to japan alone as a 17 year old? In a lot of european countries you aren't able to book hotel rooms before you are 18, how is that in Japan?
Mikey, I like you very much, but dont act like an expert on tea. There are lots of different teas and many smell very strong, think of pu'er tea or many black teas. Some smell little but that doesn't mean every good tea should smell little.
I love your videos, Mike, but I beg to differ about the tea. Real Jasmine tea does smell fragrant to me. On the other hand- I'm a tea-est, so of course I can appreciate the scent.
Those pancakes look amazingly tasty - they look like parottas! Also, that Jiggly cake is mouth watering - I always prefer those cream-less tea cakers more than any other.
I really love when you go to Asian countries, it would be cool to hear you interact with them in another language besides English. Sorry if that’s weird or ignorant
"You're never THERE" Truer words.... don't feel bad about being rejected by the cat. It's looking for food. And you had none.

broccoli is garbage on a plate
I love brocoli

Having a really bad day...but your videos really help calm me down! You just radiate positivity ♡ Keep it up!
thank you!!!
Same Mikey Chen and Steve1989 are probably the working better, on my blood pressure, than my medicines

Haggis? Mike aint no Andrew Zimmern
Eat the broccoli mike come on lol
noooooooooo
"Not too bad" Mikey you are taking the mickey, you live the life of luxury dude those hotels are immaculate.

That view was gorgeous ! Thank you for taking us along with you to all these great places . You are awesome!
Jiggly cake and tea?! What else does anyone need?
6:14 This was actually where I ate after school when I was in middle school. So much good memory! And the price is still the same.
Hotels that comp Mike: “wow this place is beautiful, wonderful staff, awesome amenities.”
Hotels that he paid for: “umm it’s a bit outdated, furniture is tacky, I guess it’s clean”
Be honest, we appreciate those reviews
that kitty speaks a foreign language which is why she didn't understand you. lol wonderful video mike. i hope u can decide on a company to produce your hot oil!
The views were absolutely spectacular. Thanks for showing them, I really enjoy watching your videos.
Maybe the cat was also wanting to see Taipei from the mountain?
another great vlog mikey i just love Taiwan only spent 8 hours there on a cruise ship tour but just loved it and decided i must do a land based trip there, its my favourite country next to china
Scallion Pancakes are the best!
the cat made this video 11/10
Good to see you learned so much about tea over the years...before you used to say you just know how to drink tea...lol
Nice Hotel basic accommodations, clean and spacious, pretty city, adventurous walking trail, come to Stone Mountain GA USA and thank you for an amazing view.
I like the skyline and nightlights
I went up Elephant Mountain this past spring on a Sunday morning while visiting there and about half way up, the locals were playing ping pong. Next time I'll have to make the night trip up looks awesome.
What a beautiful video! Thanks Mikey!
speechless...never thought Mike would be the type to be catcalling at night, shm. ;)
What is the name of the scallion pancake place? Thank you!
11:58 so beautiful if i had a girlfriend i would take her there to see the view
Just ate.....now hungry again
I hope you got ramen as well in Taipei. They also have an Ippudo branch as well.
Thank you for the tip on the tea. And beautiful view at the mountain. Safe travels home.
holy shat I'm in awe of this view! thank you for showing us beautiful places Mikey!!
time to go to taiwan!
Hello Mikey Happy Thanksgiving!
The entrance to that hotel needs an upgrade , some fairy lights maybe. But that room is nice
getting jiggly wit it
"Mikey's hot oil so hot, it's literally 200 degrees celcius in your sphincter the next morning.
Hey Mike, been watching your videos for years, first time leave a comment though. Love your videos. Just so you know, 九层塔 is just the Chinese name for basil.

+YIBING LI 九層塔 is Thai basil, not Italian basil.
That view from the mountain was absolutely gorgeous. Amazing
wow taiwan is just great
This channel and UR main one From my best TH-cam channels everrrr 😍😍😍
The Jiggly cake u ate may be much more famous in Tainan. There are more variants/flavors (e.g. sweet potato/taro/chocolate are embedded into the cake.). You probably can try it f you visit Tainan again.
Whar are you talking about! That is a wonderfull room!
The cat said leave me alone human ! , I got to hunt some crickets for food !
are you a cat whisperer?
I miss Taiwan. Hope I can go again later next year.
蛋餅忘了加你最愛的辣椒了~~~
茶的部分評價可能要像咖啡或是紅酒這樣的評價方法會比較好，因為冠軍茶的話不見得像你說的那樣有人工香料，而是當年當地的天氣茶種製茶的功夫都配合得很好，尤其是春茶更是如此，香味迷人，口感清雅，回韻無窮，齒頰留香還有會讓人生津的效果~喝了會非常舒服的~只是非常難得，台灣的製茶工藝，是有百年以上的歷史，以前還有所謂的"鬥茶"就猶如紅酒評鑑還有咖啡評鑑一般，是非常嚴厲可怕的比賽~
Please, please, pppllleeeassse do a couple videos about tea. Especially how different cultures make tea, tea ceremonies and the best way to brew. That would be amazing!!! Love ur videos!
"Here kitty" *whistles* Nice try though.
Absolutely beautiful at night! And Im certainly looking fwd to the tea video. :)
Need two like buttons on this video, possible 3. One for cat and other for video and third for thouse pancakes, looked interesting!
Ok so the people of Taiwan use broccoli, and if I’m mistaken broccoli in China is not really used?
That view is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tainan HSR Station brings back good memories, haven't been there since October 2016. Thanks for sharing your adventures Mikey!
Beautiful place
Hey Mikey...take me on your trips and I will eat all of the broccoli 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Random question do you have any pets?
"Nine Layer Pagoda" is the name for Taiwanese basil
Mike, 台北101 象山 離我家好近啊，可惜沒能遇見你，不然我一定會尖叫的～ 謝謝你把台北拍攝得那麼美麗及有趣。💕
Maybe next time :-) Thanks for watching!
下次來可以來辦個粉絲見面會! 耶~
Poor boy is so out of breath, save him.
This is Cat from
Brooklyn NY!🐱
Some people are superstitious about black cats in general. Others believe that you should never let a black cat cross your path. The cat crossed your path Mikey Boo!🐱 That's right it's not Halloween🎃🔥🎃 it's Thanksgiving.🦃OK! Turkey! 🦃 LOL!🦃 🔥😎🎃💛☮🐱
thank you so much for taking us up the hill very beautiful. It really is nice seeing things I would never know of or get to myself.
They stole the Indian roti Canai design lol
Mikey - they’re slippers. Not flip flops. Nonetheless, your videos are great.
Good tour of the city! love the view from your climb to Xiangshan!
I wish I could find a recipe for the jiggly cake! Oh jiggly cake why do you elude me?
Mikey I love how excited you get about all the great places and types of food you eat. Deep fry the broccoli drench it in hot oil and fried garlic. I know you'd try it at least once.
Soooo peaceful.... Mikey this was great. That tea though, gotta taste it :-)😋
Every vid you make is great!
Can you provide the address of the 手抓饼 shop Mike? Heading to Taipei in March. Thanks!

Can't wait to hear more about your hot oil journey! Also, you really made me want to go to Taiwan through this past trip of yours
I miss Gua Bao.
that is something i drink a lot of is tea jasmine tea is my favorite
Mike next time your in Taiwan if your there for pretty long just get a tap card thing at 7--11 its cheaper sometimes and you don't have to worry about losing the coin for the train
Seriously Mike thank you so much for this video!!
That view was Blade Runneresque af.
No hot oil in your tea?! O.O
Hope you’re having a great thanksgiving mikey!
Lots of love from BANGLADESH 🇧🇩 🇧🇩 🇧🇩 🇧🇩 🇧🇩
What kind of tea was it? I ❤ tea. My fav is Iron Goddess or Tieguanyin
This video is really good and the food looks great keep up the good work Mike
the view on that mini hill just blew my mind away...
Taiwan Taipei always welcomes you Mike!!!
hahaha, definitely know the "air" about taipei you are talking about, i think its the city smell brought out by the humidity of taipei. Also the jiggly cake you ate seems to be 古早味蛋糕(old style cake), they have become pretty popular the last couple years
One of the few item we disagree on i think sometimes broccoli is my favourite veg, so good stir-fryed oh and broccoli and parmesan/stilton soup, now I want that soup and spicy stir-fry for dinner such a warmer on a cold day. Love getting ideas from you even if it does come from a rabbit hole of ideas (see one thing and gives me ideas) keep up good work, your vids make me so hungry.
1:42 It's because of the $cientologists. $cientology has found a goldmine of gullible people in Taiwan.
Mikey, you should have your own line of hot oil!
That's why he is over there, to develop his own brand of hot oil.
Cool beans
That's why he's there, to make his hot oil.
You're joking right? Yea, you're joking.
Mutah nah, that's why he's there. 3:58
That hotel is definitely business class circa mid 1990s 😊 Not bad for the price though, nice bathroom 🚽
I am of from work today on a snowy day and enjoy watching your videos. Thanks Mikey.
Okay so this might be a good place to ask this. I can't really find it anywhere else. Does anybody know if I am able to travel to japan alone as a 17 year old? In a lot of european countries you aren't able to book hotel rooms before you are 18, how is that in Japan?
Mikey, I like you very much, but dont act like an expert on tea. There are lots of different teas and many smell very strong, think of pu'er tea or many black teas. Some smell little but that doesn't mean every good tea should smell little.
Hi Mike, Please take a trip to Indonesia. You tend to travel a great deal South East Asia. I like learn more about it's foods. Skip the Durian fruit.
Awesome video...as always..💕👌🏽❤️🙇🏽♀️
I love your videos, Mike, but I beg to differ about the tea. Real Jasmine tea does smell fragrant to me. On the other hand- I'm a tea-est, so of course I can appreciate the scent.
Mikey Chen "starving" scares me.
Those pancakes look amazingly tasty - they look like parottas! Also, that Jiggly cake is mouth watering - I always prefer those cream-less tea cakers more than any other.
Hey Mike, why don't you like broccoli? Did u hve a traumatic experience with it as a child?
Scallion pancakes must be standard food everywhere in the world!
But why would you whistle to a cat?
The tea guy is handsome:)... looks like a chinese actor, Andy Lao (?) :)
Mike I'm just curious - out of all your travels, have you ever experienced any supernatural encounters at the hotels you stayed?
I've watched quite a few offerings from your different channels and discern that you are very good at what you do. I wish you continued success!
I really love when you go to Asian countries, it would be cool to hear you interact with them in another language besides English. Sorry if that’s weird or ignorant
