Happy New Year y'all!!! 🥳🎉 What videos do you want to see from me in 2023? Comment below!👇
Also, check out my VLOG CHANNEL here: www.youtube.com/@moremeimei
Happy new year!!! I love these food tour videos there the best but can we have more boba specific videos?
HIIII
Happy 2023 to you to mei mei!
I love it too! Makes my day .
I have about 100 videos left. I’m binging
HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRR
I love how descriptive you are on your food tours. The breakdown really helps. Your videos are what has encouraged me to expand what I call my elementary kid palette lol. I LOVE Japanese bbq over KBBQ, especially out in Seattle but now I have to go out to the OC and try it! The crispy rice and skirt steak with the sauce looked so yummy!
I live in OC. The variety of cuisine here is so amazing I feel as though I could eat at a great local restaurant every day of the year, and never eat at the same place twice.
But I'm pretty shy, so if it wasn't for this kind of food tours, I wouldn't know what to order!
The leaf in the pho is called perilla leaf. Sometimes you'll see them translated as sesame leaves, but they don't grow on the same plant as sesame seeds. Very popular in east Asian cuisine. Often included in Korean bbq. The red variety is also what makes Japanese pickled plums(umeboshi) red.
Is it the same as Shiso?
@@KylaA5952 Yep! Shiso is the Japanese word.
I'm Vietnamese. I started cooking when I was 7 because I love cooking and exploring ingredients. Pho never has perilla leaf in it, it would change entirely aroma of the dish. Only Thai basil, culantro and beansprouts as the side veggies (mostly use in the south Vietnam, northern pho doesn't have these side veggies). Green onions, cilantro, sliced white onions as toppings. I'd even say that Vietnamese cuisine just doesn't use perilla leaf. I got to know it from Korean BBQ. We have leaves with similar shape to perilla though, such as rau tía tô.
@@itsnotif.itswhen it was my understanding that rau tia to is a Vietnamese variety of perilla. It's good to be more specific though since there is a lot of variety in the flavors and appearance.
@@KylaA5952 no it’s little different
The owners of Trieu Chau are ethnic Chinese from Cambodia and speak Chiu Chow 潮州 dialect. It’s Chiu Chow style food catered to a Cambodian/Vietnamese palate. Glad you got to try it. It’s so good and the owners are very nice people. 😀👍🏽
I think the son is running it now?
The husband passed away a couple years ago and the wife was running it for awhile and she finally retired from the business. My family used to live across from them. They've lived in the same neighborhood for decades. The wife is a really nice person, she used to give my mom fruits from her backyard all the time.
i grew up going here, amazing food and people
@@ouranhshc100 RIP to the dad! I remember him coming by our table and talking to my family.
@@vigor3624 it’s so good, it’s been a minute and I’m due for a visit. 😋👍🏽
@@WingChunBoyz yea,it's so unfortunate:(
They were really nice humble people. If i remember correctly he had a heart attack. My parents were talking about when he did pass. A great guy went in a horrible way.
They still kept the restaurant in the family though.
I love the amount of cuisine diversity you include in your videos! ❤❤❤
This came out so great! It was awesome hanging out again with yall and it really inspired me to shoot a TON of foodie style restaurant content here in Hawai‘i in 2023!
It was cool seeing you in the video Philip!!
Idk how but each dish looked better than the last! Omg I need to eat before I watch your videos because now I’m hungry 😅❤
i think that leaf is called a perilla leaf! frequently used in korean cuisine as well.
That pho omg. Always happy to see a new video notification! I’ve been going through quite a lot lately but when I watch your videos it helps me escape to feel better and reconnect with my love for food. Thank you MeiMei and your videos for helping me, never stop. :) Was just in LA/OC and enjoyed tons of yummy food, coffee and boba! I hope you had great holidays and always look forward for the next video. 🤍
i was happy to see a noti to!!!!!!!!!!

Everything looked delicious!
Your viet pronunciation is so good ! Love watching all your vids ❤️
That cookie looked incredible! 🍪😍
So happy to see this video being that I just moved to the OC and haven’t explored the foods as much as I would like. Thank you!

I was waiting for this! Love you mei mei ❤🥹
aw yay hope you enjoy the video!!! ily 💕
All the food you try very good. Thank you
congrats on 1.45 million!
the rising phoenix from orobae is worth waiting in line for ! i'm usually not a big fan of tea , but the way they've roasted it for that drink is amazing ! it's sooo good !!!
I love ur videos it’s the best boba videos❤❤i have no doubt to subscribe
My favorite food from the video was the banh xeo!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, it's probably my favorite Viet dish. i haven't been to the oc in a while, so i def gotta check out some of these places whenever i go!
Love your videos Mei mei! Happy new year!
thank you so much, appreciate you!!! happy new year 🥳💕
Love love the Vlog channel; just watched ring shopping 🥰
Happy 2023! Everything looked amazing! But top 3 things I want to try are the banh cunh (never seen it made with egg before either!), Banh xeo & the taco place! 🤤
7:10 I believe the leaf is actually called a perilla leaf! I am viet and I love watching your videos
Girl I love your videos, really helping me out as a chronically tired university student😊 I’m from Norway so we don’t have as much cool places from different cultures, so seeing you eat all that food makes me so jealous yet happy that you can live of off your passion🎉 I’ve been a subscriber since 2019 and you’re a gem. PS can you tell me where Bird got that grey crossbody bag he usually uses in videos, it’s so cute!
hi meimei!! I just finished gymnastics and got my full turn back on beam!! And now i'm watching my favorite video and eating homemade karaage!!
Instant boba craving 🫠 Everything looked so good!!
Orange County is the soul place for best Asian food, beside Los Angeles Asian town.
I’ve never been this early. But I love your videos and I look forward to them meimei ❤️❤️❤️
aw thank you so much!!! welcome to the early squad 💕
That cookie looks so delicious
with gooey warm the inside
😋🥰
I agree about Anjin, it’s a must for great quality beef in OC. Went years ago and still remember it
I’m from OC and I loooove these videos! I live in Korea and am moving home soon and want to try all these out
Seeing you and TJ on the same screen is simply happiness. Wow, I have never seen Banh Cuon with egg before. They all look good, so I can’t pick a fave. 😅
Congratulations on 10k subscribers on the vlog channel !! ❤
thanks francesca!!!! appreciate your support on both channels 🥺💕
Hi, Meimei! Wow! I live in Orange County and I’m glad to see you have a video of great spots. I’ve actually never heard of most of these! My favorite boba places that are close to me are Ding Tea in Rancho Santa Margarita (I go there a lot) and The Alley at the Irvine Spectrum. I hope you try The Alley at some point next time you visit. I’ve tried a few other boba places and didn’t like them as much. Please come back soon! This makes me so happy! 🥰
The purple leafy mint eaten with Banh Xeo is called purple Perilla Leaf. They also have green Perilla as well. A lot of people mistake it with Japanese Shiso leaf but they could be more different in flavors. The Perilla leaf is much more herby.
good job with the vlog🎉 and love ur vids😊
thank you so much!!! appreciate you & happy new year! 🥳💕
Happy new year love your videos
happy new year!!!! 🥳appreciate you!💕
Thank you!!! We have moved to OC for a few years and still need help with food/boba recommendations ❤
I’m moving to OC soon and this made me so excited! Thank you for the breakdowns on how to eat it because I would make a fool of myself 😂
I like how lettuce is used as wrapping, very healthy vs deep fried carbs
I just wanted to say that I always look forward to your videos!! :D
aw thank you so much!! appreciate you! 💕
@@feedmeimei Can't wait for more of your videos this year :)
im so early!!
happy new year!! i love your content ❤❤

Thank you for these recommendations, plan to hit all of them next O.C overnight stay.
Hi meimei, love your videos!
hiii!!! thank you so much! appreciate you 💕
wow i've never been this early! everything looks delicious!
early squadd let's gooo!!! thanks for watching 💕💕
AHH I JUST STOPPED BY RODEO 39 AND THERE WAS SOO MUCH GOOD FOOD
Just moved away from OC after 10+ years there, and as someone with an addiction to boba, I had so many more places I wished you’d gone to!
omgg i live very close to orange county! i might go to one of those places they look all of them look DELICIOUS 😋
I love your! channel! u should do a only eating boba for a day challenge!
Born and raised in OC and haven’t been to a lot of these places. I recommend Tuttu Fresco for Italian
I plan on trying every restaurant you featured. 🤗
love paderia and trieu chau!!!! paderia has good coffee too, it’s a must visit place for me when i go back to irvine
i love your videos! 😊
thank you so much isabella!!! happy new year 🥳💕
The #19 you ordered is called Phnom Penh noodles at other Cambodian restaurants. Definitely did it right with the soup on the side and dry noodles. Looks legit
OMG! That cookie!!! Must try :D
Yes!! Anjin really is a go to place for yakiniku.
-Love Orobae!! The Rising Phoenix is my fave, and for coffees, the Formosan latte (Guji Haro) is the BEST.
-Tacos Los Cholos is by far my favorite taco spot!! Rib Eye tacos ALL DAY.
-And Paderia!! Best cookies! Please also try LAGU Cafe near there.. Strawberry Sakura latte, Melon latte, and Sea Salt Matcha!
So thrilled that you you are in SoCal Mei Mei 🥰 Hope you enjoy your stay in my home town 👍 Sorry I haven't been viewing as much lately so I didn't know you came to LA
That leaf is called tia to in Vietnamese. It's a bit similar to shiso as others have noted but I wouldn't say its the same. For Japanese and Korean cultivars they come in either red or green and have a differing flavor between the two colors. In Vietnam I feel like I exclusively seem them bi-color (green on one side and red on the other). I find the flavor of Vietnamese tia to different as well, not as "herby" or "medicinal compared to Korean/JP shiso. In English it's called beefsteak plant.
MMM!!!! It looks so yummy! You never fail to make me starve to death!!!!
manifesting yummy food in your near future!!! 😋✨
For Orobae, the fruit smoothies are criminally underrated. Especially on a hot day, those drinks are perfect!
Wow the banh cuon with egg is really interesting
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉
happy new year!!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for sharing Mei Mei! My husband has a severe nut allergy but he loves pho so it's been tricky finding a pho spot in LA area that he feels comfortable going to. Phoholic looks very promising since their menu looks like it's ONLY pho and nothing else. Thank you for the recos!
If you’re still in oc you have to try vox kitchen and get their lomo saltado fries!! It’s my guilty pleasure ❤️🔥
happy new year. love your food review tour . if you are in oc. might want to try 405 Noodle-pot in westminster, ca. or 98 shabu grill buffet . capital seafood restaurant
Gotta try that Thai curry pizza 😋
I’m in Orange County and you introduced places and culinary delights that are a must try ! Next time your visit SoCal you must check out all the Asian must try’s in Hacienda Heights and City of Industry . The largest Buddhist temple is in Hacienda Heights and their veggie lunch is amazing ! Just over the hill on Colima you will find places that will keep you exploring for days ...
Ughh I am craving those cookies and pizza soooo badd 🥹❤️🍪
love your videos mei mei! amazing content as always!
thank you so much!!! appreciate you :) 💕
happy you did somewhere closer from where i am, i'm in san diego heh. love ur videos
Omg you are in my hood!!! Haha crazy to see all these food places make it to your video!! Not enough people know about the Thai curry pizza 😍😍😍
Next time you’re here, try the HNtea house in Irvine/lake forest area as well! on par with Orobae without the long wait and chewier boba!❤️
I actually tried to apply to work at rodeo 39. Before they opened up they had a big job fair; the owner of the building was there and I had the honour of picking up a conversation with him. He told me the people who own banh xeo boys are actually 2 dentists; banh xeo is their passion. Their original location is in downtown Santa Ana.
Also, if you're ever back in the OC you should defs try shootz. It's fusion Hawaiian, their kimchi fried chicken tonkatsu is really good! And the musubi too.
Anyways, glad you enjoyed your foodventure in the OC! ^°^
Banh Cuon all the way. One of my favorite Vietnamese dishes I crave when I’m away for work. 😭 so jealous
USA Walking Tour here watching!
Los tacos looked so yummy
You look so happy when eating 🥰 ❤
hahah good food makes me the happiest!!
Omg I used to live right by that curry Thai pizza place in Long Beach when I was in graduate school. I love Long Beach. But if I were to say which meal looked best I’d have to say the tacos all the way. They made me want to go get them and it’s like 11 pm almost lol. Good video
Wowo Great 👍 Though I live in OC now, I haven't visited any of them yet 🥲🤣 Thanks for great places!!
OC/LBC has so many good restaurants and dessert options. Quan Mii (banh xeo), Phnom Penh Noodle Shack, Nomad , Yummy Banh Bao, Oc & Lau, Nep Cafe, Da Vien coffee, Phin Smith, SweetHoney, Pasta e Pasta, Hiro Nori Ramen, Don Churros, Porto's Bakery
The next time you come to OC check out Nice To Meet You Skewer Hot Pot in Irvine, really delicious!
The first thing I like about this are pizza and veggies! So 😋!
sooo good!!! 🔥🔥🔥
this video made me want to try banh xeo i have never heard of it before!
+i can attest that trieu chau is much loved by the locals. u should see the line going out the door on weekends 😳
If you need another suggestion. At Rodeo39 you passed by a bakery called sweet G's and they sell ube cookies with white chocolate 🍪!! It's always my go to and it's unique!
Happy New Year! Please get ramen at Hiro Nori if you're still in town! I don't think there's a better place in Cali.
Check out blazin on harbor Blvd also for boba check out t on ice also shabuya is a good spot to check out
Tacos Los Cholos is my FAV taco spot in OC!
I would recommend going back to square where you went to paderia and try out Cluck Kitchen I think it will be the best Nashville hot Chicken you will have in Orange county area
the second location my family owns 🥰🥰🥰 !
So funny, I live down the street from the Thai Pizza place and I’ve never been there! I’ll have to try it out now
