I’m in beautiful Fiji for a quick 48-hour layover, and what better way to spend it than going on a mud crab adventure? I'm joining guides on a local river and see how they're traditionally caught and prepared in Fijian cuisine. #MudCrabs #FijiAdventure #FoodLayover #CrabHunting #TravelVlog #FijianCuisine

“If you are happy when you are cooking, then the food will always taste good”
Hell yeah!
As someone who’s mom is Fijian born and raised, thank you so much for highlighting the paradise where she grew up! I havent been since 2010 and i miss it so much
Im from Samoa 🇼🇸 and the food in Fiji 🇫🇯 is very similar...im so happy you got to taste raw fish with coconut cream, that is the staple dish in the pacific islands, thank you Mr. Chen for bringing the world to the Pacific Islands, next stop Samoa 🇼🇸❤
Oka!!
48 hours in Fiji to chow down on crab cuisine. Mike, this is one of your best videos. Many blessings from Minnesota.
That song at the end brought tears to my eyes. It sounded like a hymn.🥹
It was, the Methodist religion is very big in Fiji.
Explain a lot
They were formerly warlike and powerful man hunters.
Bula vinaka Mike. Great video. Vinaka vakalevu for show-casing what you could in 48 hours of our Fijian cuisine and a bit of culture. loved the Fijian hymn sung at the end. I look forward to more videos of you coming back for more.
What a great video…. A layover that turned into a main event. From the food to the beautiful paradise, to the fun of crabbing with cool guys, five out five on this video 😀
The singing at the end was my favorite part! So beautiful!
Loved this episode! I really like when you delve deeper into the culture!! Safe travels, Mike.
Fiji is one of my bucket list destinations
Thank you for visiting Fiji 🇫🇯!! We've been watching your videos for a few years from right here. Hope you had a good stay. Vinaka, moce mada.
If the layover in Fiji is this good, imagine if you were there longer.. Enjoyed this episode in Fiji ❤
I didn't know the first thing about Fijian cuisine until I watched this video, and it was fascinating to learn that their cuisine is as heavily Indian influenced as it is. It looks like those guys were having a blast doing their thing and sharing their culture and food with you two and it made me want to go there to experience it first hand. That song at the end was so charming, too! Great video, Mike!
Omg ,that club sandwich was so delicious looking,I'm still drooling 🤤 . I loved the way the people took time to teach you the ways of doing the coconut and crabs . Stay safe and enjoy your travels,from your biggest fan from Arkansas
Beautiful video, beautiful culture and beautiful people. Really enjoyed the entire experience. Hated to see it come to a close. Good luck on your next adventure.
OMG IM FROM FIJI AND IVE WATCHED YOU FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!!
YAY!!!
This feels amazing being Fijian
Since your from Fiji can I ask what were they singing at the end? It almost sounded like a hymn or prayer.
🙌🙌🙌 Thanks!
@@8mile791 beautiful!!!
@strictlydumpling that last bit when you explained Bula Vinaka made me tear up and you perfectly described my people so well. Please come back and stay longer. You haven't experienced the REAL Fiji.
Go to the villages and try food cooked in a lovo.
You won't regret it I promise!!
I’m Fijian, I could have given you some good places to eat the best curry in Nadi! If ur going to Auckland make sure to go to some places on dominion road in the balmoral area! They are so good! Also, chahaat in greenwoods corner and Blue rose cafe in Sandringham road is a must for a good pie! Have fun in our little city!
The culture was beautiful. It made me cry with joy that you got to experience that. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow, what an amazing experience in Fiji! The food looks absolutely incredible. And that traditional coconut cracking and cooking method? So cool!🌴🦀🍲
Wow...that singing at the end. So much soul!
Woah we've been the biggest fans of Strictly Dumpling and are stoked he was in our home! Vinaka Mike
Welcome to my home country!!! Thanks for this love seeing our country get some exposure
the singing at the end, and the circle they made, reminds me of the original “grinch” Christmas movie, when they all sang around the tree. pretty cool stuff. great video you did here.
Long time Mikey fan here! So glad to see you expanding your travel/food videos to catch and cooks!! Your videos on both channels have been amazing, and now another level of flavor has been added. Can't wait for more.
Wow, I didn't expect a Fiji video. Now all that's left is Sonny
This place feels amazing
I’d love to visit Fiji before it’s all underwater. Such a beautiful island and culture
Feel so proud watching this being a Fiji :)
LOVE THE SINGING!!!!❤
Really really enjoyed this one, Mike. More of this if possible!
OMGGG I'M FROM FIJI!!! Thank you for visiting my motherland!
Saw this video on Facebook coz I mostly watch his videos there and was shocked to see he came to Fiji but was moreee shocked that he lived right across from me🤭
This video, even though it wasn't as produced as usual I really enjoyed the video you took of the locals. Seems like a chilled out place with happy people. Great video!
Mikey,! I luv it Dat you seein da ting man! 1
Education is beautiful. You do great work.
You're one of the most positive people in the world. 1
Thanks for showing this culture. Beautiful
Love it when you come to Canada, especially Vancouver! I'm just over the straight in Victoria, please come visit us!
Wow, wonderful amazing people in Fiji. I love it 🫶🏽
wow...............that song at the end was so beautiful.........it gave me flashbacks of when i played bioshock inifnite, where you enter Columbia in the clouds.
The song is called "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" - Bioshock Infinite Version
And the food, looks even better.
Fijians are so amazing people, i worked there 5 years. I love fiji Indian curries.
Bula vinaka ❤🙏
Bula! If only you had time to go out and explore more of Fiji 🇫🇯 Fiji curry and Fiji Chinese food are hard to beat.
My brother you missed the number one Fijian dish...Yaqona aka. KAVA...😂...glad you enjoyed it here in my homeland...much love
Mike, What a stay over! Fiji and this establishment is a magical experience. That would be a destination I would visit over and over again. The ppl just were sooo nice.
And the food, the Paca Paca blew my mind. If only we had tastavision and smell- avision! Thanks for taking me along. See you in Australia!❤
Thank you for coming to nanuku fiji too bad I didn't get to meet you...Mike chen😢...maybe next time
Loved everything about this Video. GOD BLESS You 🥰🌺🌹💙✝️🙏all
The food looked AMAZING!!
Can't wait to see your time in New Zealand!
Click like if you are from Fiji 👍
Thank you for the extended ending… so much peacefulness
I'm from AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND I'd love to show you around!!!!
This has now became my most fav video of yours❤❤ It was lovely, soothing, beautiful, traditional and informative
I agree with you Mike.. the Kokoda is a dish that I would eat everyday too.. thank you for visiting our tiny nation.. vinaka vaka levu
Let’s go Fiji
Awesome video bro .👍
This is such a wholesome video 🥹♥️
Opakapaka is my favorite fish!! Had it once at work, so ono!!!
Amazing!!! But, what were they singing at the end? It almost sounded like a hymn or prayer!
I also thought so!! It flashed me back to the hymn "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" but from the beginning of Bioshock Infinite, with how they sung it
It's a gospel song
So pretty. Definitely a laid back lifestyle
The song at the end ❤
Bula Mike 👋 I’m from Fiji and now I also wanna checkout Nanuku Resort for the food.👌🏼 Hope you visit again someday and get the full Fijian island experience.
What a beautiful place 🤗 and even more beautiful souls 🙏
So amazing
Hi Mike Chen, hope you’re doing well? I have been a fan and subscriber of your channel since the Chinese bbq pork and duck video in flushing queens I think ?? I just heard you are coming to New Zealand. What date
When will you visit Norway?! You would love our Christmas dinner. Pork ribs!
Let me guess the food is jooshy and filled with umommy while he pretends to tilt his head back hoping his topee doesn’t fall off 😂
You need to explore fijis food places dude! Both traditional fijian and Indian and just like how you go to random places try random stalls! And also try the roadside bbqs!!!
Dinner- take the roti tear a piece pick ip some of the curry and pick up some rice and then dip in chutney. Taste is amazing
Wonderful review. The music chior at the end was beautiful.
That’s was pretty cool
You made me miss home ❤
WOW!!!!!!! That place looked amazing, I absolutely love the places you visit and the great food you find.
Love your channel man!!!!!
😎👍🏻👍🏻
Can't wait to see your video on Sydney. That's the video I'm looking forward to as it would love to see the great food finds you've found here in Sydney.
Hey Mike! Huge fan of your work ❤❤❤❤
Mike, if you’re going to Melbourne you should go check out Goje (frozen yogurt) in Yarraville - it’ll be the best frozen yogurt you’ll ever have 🙌🏾 there is also fantastic Greek place right next to it too (order grilled lamb!)
How would I book a trip here
Thanks mike for visiting our lovely country.
Best Foodie Travel Moments Ever😂
Looking good
Fiji was great. I'm excited to see the rest of the trip.
Mikey! Love the videos man! Been a fan for YEARS!
Fijians are the most humble kindest people in the Pacific 🤝🏾
Yoooo why didn't you tell us you was here 😆
Been a longtime viewer, so glad you finally got to see and experience foods from my home island. You should check out cuisine from the outer islands of Fiji as well❤
Loved this video...great job Mikey 👍...all the food looked so amazing especially the crab curry at the end...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗❤
I live in pacific harbor in fiji near nanuku I love the beach next to the resort
We are from nz, we couldnt choose between fiji and samoa to spend the week to warm up so flew to samoa last week. Your making me wish we went to fiji.
How far away was the resort from the airport? We couldnt find a decent resort to stay at close to the airport without going to another island
Dude scarfed down a bowl of rice and meat to wait for a bowl of noodles
Bula Mike!
That was great Mike😊. Safe and happy traveling as well. 😁
This guy is living a dream.
git gud
I am surprised the lime didn't curdle the coconut milk, what a heavenly place.
It's not actually milk...
Didnt know you were hear in vancouver. Yah my grandma just came back fo fiji as well and she said itd really hot there now
What is the name of this resort
I'm from Tasmania and cant wait to see those videos of our humble island. Our food scene is smaller than other states on the mainland but we do pack a punch. Hope you had fun (assuming you're still travelling and just haven't uploaded the videos yet) and feel like coming back :)
Glad to see you visit Fiji, do check out other parts of Lapitanesia/Lapinesia (more widely known as Melanesia) & other South Pacific island parts when you can. Sorry to find you had an underwhelming hotel dinner that one night
It literally says in the menu that the Paka Paka is on a puttanesca sauce, not marinara.
The only surprising thing about this video is that Mikey is still making a living doing the exact same thing, eating the exact same foods for like 10 years now.
Wow the Best video you have done yet !!!!
Gorgeous ending!
You’re living the life.
