I love how you’re still so respectful and humble every time you visit another country, yet still managing to make conversations not awkward at all. I admire your skill Mike.
There’s been a huge change in your videos since moving to Seattle - and I mean that in the best way. You seem more grounded (and I thought you were already a very humble guy), more authentic (you don’t always hype everything up and admit when you’re disappointed which means a lot in the age of social media where EVERYTHING demands to be over celebrated), and you just seem more happy. Keep rocking on Mikey!
This channel is one of those that I don't watch enough to get sick of but it's so consistent that I know every episode is going to be great. Even better to watch when I eat aswell
hahaha yes! they always lift my spirit too - I love how he eats ANYTHING (ants, insects mixed with fish) soo unique. I love him.. he honestly inspired me to start doing MUKBANGS myself. Trying to be as open minded as him when it comes to food moving forward. He's soo descriptive and entertaining to watch! Strictly Dumplings for life haha!
The lady who is grating the coconut bring back memories of my childhood. We grate coconut the same way years ago when I was still young in the Philippines and boy, I cut my hand the first time. It is a lot of work.
these videos feel like opening a window after a few weeks of being cooped up in my room with depression, they always put a smile on my face even when I'm at my worst
Love your videos! Congrats on your marriage and thank you for all your work. I'll never be able to eat seafood so it's been nice living vicariously through you!
The mango and sticky rice with coconut milk looks so simple and beautiful, but that giant lobster and seafood noodle bowl so amazing, I can't get over it.
I have been watching you’re vids forever actually you were one of the few you tubers I started watching when I got the app you’re so cool and love the 711 vids keep up the great work Chen you literally are the best
Strictly Dumpling is number two of my top three RUclipsr’s because he encourages people to get out into the world and try new foods and things much love to strictly dumpling for encouraging my to step out of my comfort zone so I can try new things in life much love
I am glad that you had a wonderful time here in Thailand. 😉 There are many many more food and places for you to explore. Come again if you have time. 😀
Wow.. That thai chef so humble and so close to nature. Respect to the chef 😊btw the sour berry here in Mauritius we call that bilimbi and you can make pickles with it or use it in salads or make a great "compote" with it
LOL same, especially with the ants on the fish!! that's BRAVERY at its finest hehe. My MUKBANGS will never be as ambitious as Mikey but dear lord I will try my best to be as open minded as possible after watching this ahha!
Mike.... My mom used to brew the medicinal stuff at home.... She had this brown earthenware pot that was used specifically for this and OMG.... The house smelled disgusting and it tasted worse.... She always had to chase it with a spoon full of sugar. Otherwise, none of us would take it....lol 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I miss my mom! She made us eat some horrible tasting stuff but she ALWAYS.... ALWAYS.... Had our best interest at heart! ❤️❤️ Can't beat a mom's love!
I’m in tears Mike...I can’t eat seafood ever again, and that looks so good! Picture you favorite food of all time, then you were told you could never eat it again. Yep, that’s exactly how I feel! Sea food, my favorite!🥺
The Muk Bros I’ve had 11 surgeries since Oct 2017. I now have an ileostomy, and during one of my later surgeries, my pancreas was involved..Not only can I no longer digest seafood the way I should, but with having ileostomy, my body has a horrible time passing. All includes pains. I miss it so!
Mary Reynolds omg that’s terrible. Well if you look at the bright side. You are still alive and well today. That’s the most important thing. If that means you can’t eat sea food, then so be it!!! Were always grateful to be able to live another day ❤️
These berries are star gooseberries and my absolute fav!! My mouth is watering just thinking abt it since I can’t find it in the US, I miss them so much (10 years since I last ate them).. Eat them with crushed chilies and salt 🤤🤤🤤
The fruit that you said is sour is called Gooseberry 3:58. In my country we used it to make jam and pickle it. For the jam all you need is sugar and food coloring and boil it till it get thick. You can eat just like that. As for the pickle you can eat it like that or with some pepper.
Oh wow that was fortunate! I’ve been away due to hubby’s illness & finally came back only to be greeted by your video! Thanks Mikey, I was wondering how many of your videos I’d missed but now I’ll spend some time catching up. Have a gorgeous day wherever you are, be safe & keep eating that yummy food 😊🥰
While watching this... I can see a lot of similarities Thailand and Philippine has. I am a filipino. Their wet market are almost like in the Philippines except maybe the type of fish and also the way they grate the coconut meat, we have that tooo!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Let me see food especially extremely large seafood is my kind of jam You're so lucky to get to do all this traveling and eating everything always looks delicious
Hi Mike Chen, it's so good to see you again and you're in Thailand again, that's so cool! Thai foods looks so good that you must try it when you come to Thailand. Great food travelling video and like always your videos really inspirational! 😉👊
Good thing that I'm eating breakfast when the notification popped up. Won't get hungry watching the video. Hahaha. Much love from the Philippines, Mike!
You know what would be cool? If you guys put titles somewhere on the screen when you come across interesting food items at these markets :) There's no way you can sample everything so that might take a little pressure off & also, we get to know what everything is. I know it's probably a lot of extra work but just a thought :) Love you Mikey! It's always fun exploring the world of food with you! 😊
Had to be this early even though I’m only in the process of watching. Love your content Mr Chen. Wishing you would do more airline reviews on your other channel.
@@carterward1449 he has a couple actually there is a review one with his friends and then his original one I started watching about science and paranormal stuff if you go into his older vids he use to have links for them
3:41 We called those Gooseberries here in the Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 We would stew them in water,sugar,cinnamon and nutmeg and sell them around carnival time as sweet fruit snacks/candies.
The native women from their respective lands are always the best of chef's😋 great food's and also fantastic dish presentation as well. The crickets are a bit over the top for me' but I'd bet that they made even that taste great. 😊😎
My favourite night market in Bangkok! Compared to Talad Rot Fai Ratchada this is soooo much better. A bit of a hassle to get there, but if you have made it you will love it as Mikey says.
when you said "someone should challenge it", I already ate the fruit like 25 years ago LOL it's called Cerme in Indonesian (Central Java) ppl also make a manisan from it or boil it and then sprinkle the sugar on it to reduce the sourness
Thanks for commenting so early! The early bird gets the...no wait...I ate it
LMAO
Strictly Dumpling I thought those were French fries
@@FlaccidPlatypus nice one mikey
Haha, I would too.
you should check out this series on netflix called Street Food if you haven't already XD feels like it'd be your kind of show :P
I love seeing how happy and proud the people are serving you their food. A smile really is the universal language. 😃

I agree. But I hope mikey knows he can always take a break if he needs and we’ll understand.
@@raquellemon4828 I agree but don't be giving Mike any ideas 😂
Food : * exists*
Mikey : This will be better with some chilli oil.
These videos never fail to lift my spirits. I was having a rough nite working on my thesis, and seeing this video completely turned it around.
hahaha yes! they always lift my spirit too - I love how he eats ANYTHING (ants, insects mixed with fish) soo unique. I love him.. he honestly inspired me to start doing MUKBANGS myself.

I made myself watch you eating the bugs, and I give you all honors for doing it without puking. You’re a good man.

Love your videos! Congrats on your marriage and thank you for all your work. I'll never be able to eat seafood so it's been nice living vicariously through you!

That juice near the end is called nam krajiab. It's a sweetened tea made with Hibiscus flowers. It does taste a bit like plum juice.
