Yo this guys making moves ,take notes. He has a bunch of channels with all the things he’s interested in and now he’s making a business venture with something he loves. This is how you do it setting up your life with things that make you happy all supporting itself. Living the dream man your awesome 👏🏻
Your Airline reviews are some of my favorite videos! My son is gonna be traveling to Scotland, England, and Paris this summer and I've got him hooked on watching these. He's never been on a plane before so he's excited. Singapore is on our bucket list!
In one way I envy you Mikey all the Traveling and all the good food (btw I don't envy the hot oil) but I also know none of this came easy it was years of hard work long hours getting your channels to where they are today so I may envy you but I'm also happy your enjoying your life and seem to be doing what makes you happy Enjoy your time in Taipei do eat too much
Thanks Mike for your videos. Just hearing your voice when I'm studying late at night helps me stay awake. I listen to your videos as podcasts. Keep up the good work
I have legit fallen in love with the gran majority of your videos, and I legit tell myself I need to visit these places! Especially in Japan like omg the noodle tour just had me WOW, like I think I watched all your Japan visit in one night
Almost my entire moms side of my family lives in taipei and they live right next to the Jiang Kai Shei memorial, very close to where you had that braised pork over rice which is also one of my favorite meals to have. The tea egg is also extremely good
I have been binge watching you lately!!! I wish I could follow your food journey foreal!! You bring me so close to the culture of food over seas!! I really enjoy your work!
Nice to see that you're visiting Taiwan again, definitely a great place to go as a lover of food! If you have the chance, I would suggest trying EVA Airway's premium economy as well. I feel the seats are always big and spacious plus the food hasn't disappointed me on the several dozen times that I have taken it!
I love how most RUclipsrs are like “WE NOW HAVE LIMITED EDITION POPSOCKETS!!! GET THE MERCH”........And Mikey is out there just causally promoting his hot oil line😂
I've been watching you and Mark Wiens for the last week because I'm flying to India in a couple weeks. Living vicariously through you guys for the time being.
I just discovered your videos and have embarked on a bit of a marathon. You seem like such a lovely human and I'm reminded of the joys of travelling solo :)
Mike, that soup is very traditional Taiwanese thick soup, could be done with the pork version there, squid, calamari, crab, and others. The key to these are: Taiwanese black vinegar!!! The taiwanese black vinegar is sweeter and less sour, but it's made with some seafood and goes so well with most Taiwanese soups. Try putting that in there next time!
I think it's the cost. That is why people should be more aware of where their products are made. I always check where my products are made and 95% of the time I but made in the USA. More expensive but keeps people with children to feed, jobs!
Cheryl Medeiros He's making an Asian product, so it makes more sense to produce it in Asia so that he doesn't need to import and pay a tariff on each of the ingredients. He can always transport it in bulk and have it bottled in the States (which I hope he does, both for quality control and to provide jobs).
everytime I think about the lengthy flight from Canada to Taiwan I say no we are not going, but everytime I see videos like this, I just can't help myself.
I'm in love with your videos. The only thing I like to mention is that you should tell us the prizes of the food you're eating... A big hug from Nicaragua!
Mikey! I'm a fan from Malaysia, living in the Netherlands and have been following you forever(?!). Here's a suggestion, do hotel review!!! I am curious because I really want to travel to Taiwan, Japan, etc and it would be nice to take note which hotels are nice. :) keep up the good work!
Mikey, I just tried some Chinese black vinegar! You were not lying...it gives noodles a real boost of umami flavor. I’m so glad I decided to take your advice...now all I need to do is make a batch of your hot oil!
Oh.. I went to Taiwan 4 years ago and specifically, to the place you ate at and I can still taste the braised pork and pork belly over rice. My aunt and uncle insisted that I tried that place.
Yo, you going on this trip to start your brand?? Congrats man!! Cant wait for it to come out, dont keep us waiting too long, and hope as your loyal followers, we get first dibs and discounts :P
Ha, ha, Mikey! Caught the Jackie Chan reference. Congratulations on your hot chili oil deal! Hope when you get rich that you still find time to post an eating video for us once in awhile. We love you, buddy!
That airport in Taiwan is like a epic mall. I had a layover in Taiwan and it had an crazy awesome electronics store I wanted to buy all kinds of stuff.
One of the best RUclipsrs ever! I love all of your vids and especially this video just made me smile and laugh. I will be a customer of your hot oil! I also went to Korea recently and went to most of the locations you went to during your Seoul Korea vlogs. :) Cannot wait to go back!
Hey Mike, I'v been a long time subscriber and normally don't comment but I just wanted to show appreciation for this vlog. I don't know why but this vlog was just so easy and fun to watch that I watch it 3 times already for some reason. Please keep up the good work and also your strictly dumpling videos as well. The content is always amazing. My only constructive criticism would be I would love a more in depth tour of the hotels your staying at and then the links in your description cause I am going to most of the countries you are soon and would love to follow your experience as well. Hope I get to meet you someday in real life and we can go eat together. :)
1:00 food porn. 1:11 lady be like "what is he doing?". She has no idea this video would get 100k+ views. 2:36 It feels like Seoul. Taipei's airport looks good. All that food omg 14:02 You know you are addicted to food when you eat the hell out of it and still point out possible places to eat outside.
Mikey if you want proper italian food there is a small village in Italy Tuscany called Asciano it's a Roman built town and the views are amazing and very cheap eats
I just finished tuna fish sandwiches and I see you eating noodles -_- too spicy for me but cut the heat and it looks good! I love your videos. You mention it was an "eat to live" meal but you're a "live to eat" kind of guy! So as Wolfgang Puck would say "live, love and eat!"
Why do I always choose to watch Mike in the middle of the night with no food and when all the stores are closed?😓
Job Geibriel Cuz at night you get sleep deprived
Job Geibriel I was thinking that same thing. Lol
Lol I'm doing that now craving a bowl of Pho :'(
Job Geibriel me too bcoz we r foody everytime we think about food
Hunter Johno Yes! Pho would be so good right now :,(

Well said!
Keep in mind he only posts on this channel and his main: strictly dumpling
Is Mike the only RUclipsr who is gonna have his own hot oil brand!? Am excited to try ‘uncle Mike’ brand 😆.
Don't know how you do it Mickey. Filming and editing takes up so much of your time, but the end result is rewarding.
6:04 "Wait! Why am I in a movie?" 👏 good one Mr. Chen 😁
I was looking for this one
“Hahaha, that’s a good one”
Bruh look ur not funny OKKKKK
5:50
Your Airline reviews are some of my favorite videos! My son is gonna be traveling to Scotland, England, and Paris this summer and I've got him hooked on watching these. He's never been on a plane before so he's excited. Singapore is on our bucket list!
15:57
mikey: “i need to take a shhhh...”
me: im not surprised after all that food
mikey: “...ower”
me: oh right, i knew that 😂
orsonsadler ho
orsonsadler lol
Yeah, ehhhhh Because you spilled something on yourself
15:59
Why do Mikes videos always do such a good job at calming my anxiety
LMAO THAT PERSON POINTED AT THE BOTTLE HOLDER
Nicolai I know right LOl. The tap seemed like "can't you see it's right here duhhh"
neighbors: always there to point it out when you're being dumb :-)
You could also turn the water bottle upside down and place it in the hole.
HahA! That neighbour probably thought, "This guy obviously doesn't fly much!"
Rometiklan hahaha....
In one way I envy you Mikey all the Traveling and all the good food (btw I don't envy the hot oil) but I also know none of this came easy it was years of hard work long hours getting your channels to where they are today so I may envy you but I'm also happy your enjoying your life and seem to be doing what makes you happy Enjoy your time in Taipei do eat too much
Thanks Mike for your videos. Just hearing your voice when I'm studying late at night helps me stay awake. I listen to your videos as podcasts. Keep up the good work
HOT OILLLLLL GET IN MY PANTRY
I have legit fallen in love with the gran majority of your videos, and I legit tell myself I need to visit these places! Especially in Japan like omg the noodle tour just had me WOW, like I think I watched all your Japan visit in one night

I have been binge watching you lately!!! I wish I could follow your food journey foreal!! You bring me so close to the culture of food over seas!! I really enjoy your work!
I'm just in the middle of planning a trip to Taipei, so glad you're in Taipei again :D time to experience the food adventures through you
These are so fun to watch Mike!!!! Thank you for keeping a hospitalized person sane!!!!!! 💞💞
I enjoyed eating my dinner with you tonight (salad with chicken and noodles) that pork soup looked delicious ♥
I discovered this guy yesterday and I'm just binge watching his videos. Such great content. It's like Jackie Chan restaurant review.
I'm so jealous how easily Mike can find good restaurants and places to eat
Man just found your channel and love your personality and your more creative more than normal reviewers
Nice to see that you're visiting Taiwan again, definitely a great place to go as a lover of food!
If you have the chance, I would suggest trying EVA Airway's premium economy as well. I feel the seats are always big and spacious plus the food hasn't disappointed me on the several dozen times that I have taken it!
Mike, when you get your hot oil company off the ground, you might put it in tiny bottles for the airlines! ..... that food needs hot oil, badly.
redhousepress that’s a great idea. A little bottle with your airline meal
Even Mikey's hot oil wouldn't help some airline meals!
I’ve only ever flown on China Airlines, but I actually really love their food. The rice is mushy. The texture reminds me of 糯米雞 which I adore.
My Goosh Mikey you can eat, but I do enjoy your show thoroughly... very well done!
I love how most RUclipsrs are like “WE NOW HAVE LIMITED EDITION POPSOCKETS!!! GET THE MERCH”........And Mikey is out there just causally promoting his hot oil line😂
I've been watching you and Mark Wiens for the last week because I'm flying to India in a couple weeks. Living vicariously through you guys for the time being.
I love both this channel and ur history channel. I hope ur business goes well and wish u the best
I just discovered your videos and have embarked on a bit of a marathon. You seem like such a lovely human and I'm reminded of the joys of travelling solo :)
Angie C me too im obsessed
Congrats so excited to try your hot oil :)
All your channels are pretty much all about food and i love it ive subscribed to all of them :)
Love your videos Mikey!! I wish I could travel with you. You always seem to eat the most delicious things everywhere you go!
I love it when you take us to several places and introduce different types of foods in 1 video
Go Mikey!!! Proud of you!!
Mike, that soup is very traditional Taiwanese thick soup, could be done with the pork version there, squid, calamari, crab, and others. The key to these are: Taiwanese black vinegar!!! The taiwanese black vinegar is sweeter and less sour, but it's made with some seafood and goes so well with most Taiwanese soups. Try putting that in there next time!
Omg Mike! I'm so happy for you! Hoping you have a fun, safe and successful trip!
So help me out here....
You, Mikey Chen, are going to Taiwan to TASTE test HOT OILS from your OWN recipe for your OWN BRAND?
Leave some for us... 😂
...basically
Don't understand why u had to.. This video explains it..
He wants to know if the manufacturers are able to produce the taste he wants even though its his recipe.... I think.
I think it's the cost. That is why people should be more aware of where their products are made. I always check where my products are made and 95% of the time I but made in the USA. More expensive but keeps people with children to feed, jobs!
Cheryl Medeiros He's making an Asian product, so it makes more sense to produce it in Asia so that he doesn't need to import and pay a tariff on each of the ingredients. He can always transport it in bulk and have it bottled in the States (which I hope he does, both for quality control and to provide jobs).
getting off a 15 hour plane ride then eating like there's no tomorrow & filming all of this- that's dedication! 2 thumbs up!!!
everytime I think about the lengthy flight from Canada to Taiwan I say no we are not going, but everytime I see videos like this, I just can't help myself.
I flew this exact flight a few years ago. Out of everything, I was most surprised by how much I enjoyed the food!
You should make a taste test video of the hot oil from all four manufactures at StrictlyDumpling!
I'm in love with your videos. The only thing I like to mention is that you should tell us the prizes of the food you're eating... A big hug from Nicaragua!
Omg...I was watching this while my nanny was next to me and she said "isn't that Jackie Chan?" 🤣🤣🤣
Mikey, I must say, you do love your food, especially your dumplings!! Hope you had a great time in Taiwan.
2:38 Was that Gfriend playing in the bg while Mike was eating shaved ice?!
Yes yes it was
BestAbsolutePerfect Nicole you noticed that too?
i screamed when i heard Navillera playing 🤣
My China Airlines business class re-accommodation was my best vlog ever! Didn't expect them to be this good 😎
Mikey! I'm a fan from Malaysia, living in the Netherlands and have been following you forever(?!). Here's a suggestion, do hotel review!!! I am curious because I really want to travel to Taiwan, Japan, etc and it would be nice to take note which hotels are nice. :) keep up the good work!

I was born in Taiwan but I haven’t been there for 35 more years. After watching your videos make me more want to go. Thx!👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
wow this channel really grew! i remember when it was just 30k!
Congratulations on your hot oil. I can't wait to try it.
I have gotten to the point with your videos that I like it as soon as it starts because I know that the video will be great!!!!
Mike: “Take a LITTLE bath in hot oil and chilli”
Also Mike: proceeds to drown the dumpling in hot oil
😂😂love your videos❤️
I love the fact that your videos have humor in it. Esp when you pointed out 'your movie' hahaha.
xD I love that every "great idea" mike has is to just mix his foods
I am so full just watching him eat. I need to take a digest it nap now for him.
2:39 lol Gfriend's navillera is playing
I'm addicted to your channels...currently binge-watching.....
Holy cow!!! That looks AMAZING! Can't wait to get to Flushing lol I don't think there's anything close to being that good in Philly.
Ha, ha, Mikey! Caught the Jackie Chan reference. Congratulations on your hot chili oil deal! Hope when you get rich that you still find time to post an eating video for us once in awhile. We love you, buddy!
It’s really a bad idea to watch this video in the middle of a night while dieting..... really bad idea.....
Hishamuddin Abdul Aziz ikr, I went up and made myself a cheese and ham omelete
So it’s 5:00 am and I can’t sleep cause I’ve been watching mike all night and I’m so hungry uggghhhh😭
It was a mistake not to eat something before your video
Super - rinno we have all made that mistake my friend
Hauahhaha "why am i in a movie" that cracked me up bro! Great vids as always
That airport in Taiwan is like a epic mall. I had a layover in Taiwan and it had an crazy awesome electronics store I wanted to buy all kinds of stuff.
One of the best RUclipsrs ever! I love all of your vids and especially this video just made me smile and laugh. I will be a customer of your hot oil! I also went to Korea recently and went to most of the locations you went to during your Seoul Korea vlogs. :) Cannot wait to go back!
6:18 when mike mistaken himself for Jackie Chan😂
Angel Yang 6:04
To be fair he does
I'm just watching and I've never eat any kind of Chinese food but base on how you eat goooooossshhh! Feels like all foods are delicious 😍😍😍
2:40
I recognize this song somehow :( (GFriend)
Navillera😊😊
Navillera! I like Gfriend but I am not a buddy. I like K-POP though!
i thought its a twice japanese song
i knew it was gfriend! 😭❤️

Anyone else’s notifications delayed??
You always make me hungry when I watch your videos Mikey 😂🤩 even If I have just eaten.
That means I'm doing my job :-)
Mikey Chen hehe of course ☺️☺️🥗🌯🌮🍕
You are lucky! I never dare to eat anything before I fly! I will be in Taipei next week n I am so glad I can watch ur video before I go!
Mike, I don't like hot oil but I'd buy yours!
Man your channel makes me so nostalgic for Taiwan.
I love that you can make fun of your self and always being told you look like Jackie Chan, your a good sport..
I love your commitment to hot oil, it's certainly impressive.
1:00 food porn.
1:11 lady be like "what is he doing?". She has no idea this video would get 100k+ views.
2:36 It feels like Seoul.
Taipei's airport looks good.
All that food omg
14:02 You know you are addicted to food when you eat the hell out of it and still point out possible places to eat outside.
I love how he described the noodle soup as pretty. I love food too man! I love all these airplane reviews!!
Love ur videos!!!

This is one of the reason I will never be a vegetarian.... look at that pork belly and beef!

$300 for a bowl of beef noodle soup?! I had to replay to confirm that I heard that right, wow that's just crazy!
Congrats on hot oil progress!! great vid as always. enjoy seeing your updates.

"Is this the Titanic?"
"Eat me like in one of your RUclips videos."
Bro my mouth literally watered lol. Those dumplings... I love your plane vids btw
Mikey if you want proper italian food there is a small village in Italy Tuscany called Asciano it's a Roman built town and the views are amazing and very cheap eats
Dudeeee I can't wait for your hot oil. It's going to be awesome! Good luck!
Congrats on the hot oil bottling! How Awesome for you! Much success wished!
I just finished tuna fish sandwiches and I see you eating noodles -_- too spicy for me but cut the heat and it looks good! I love your videos. You mention it was an "eat to live" meal but you're a "live to eat" kind of guy! So as Wolfgang Puck would say "live, love and eat!"
Did you ever launch the hot oil? I’ve been dying to try it ever since you first mentioned it in your videos!
Yeah where is that hot oil, is it on your website?
