how he subtly dropped "im in a relationship!!!!!!!!!"
MIKEY, I SUBMITTED YOUR NAME TO "HOT ONES" AS A POTENTIAL GUEST ON THE SHOW. 🤣🤣🤣
prob wouldnt need any water lol
Yes! I would watch that
I would SCREECH omfg
Bruh they need to bring out the hottest of the hot for a legend like Mikey Chen ☺️🙌
It would be pretty funny if Mikey gets absolutely destroyed by the SAUSS
Mike said “it’s bussin’” I’ve heard it all!
First time I've heard that
Ohhhhhhh
I've been blessed
Came here for this comment right after he said it 😂
😂😂
I love how you give constructive criticism of the things you didn't like as much instead of taking the low road and trashing it. All the time I lived in Houston, I never got to Seiwa! Next time I go back there, I'll hit up my one friend who lives out there to take me there. H-Mart is one of my favorite places to be, but I'm always up to trying something new. Good show as always, Mike!
If anyone would tell me to get smoked duck from a convenience store I'd laugh.
If Mike tells me to get smoked duck from a convenience store ...I GET IT.
I fully trust his opinions about convenience stores
For real! 😏
I doubt I’d get an egg salad sandwich from 7-11, I’d be too scared of getting sick. Every time I see him eat one, I think to myself that he MUST have an iron gut! LOL
I am starting to be a fan of the local convenience store food. Some of it is excellent, I mean fantastic.
Facts
Mike buying everything he sees is my every dream. I’m literally about to cry as this man lives out my dream 😭
They put so much filling in between that sandwich! I wish they did that here aswell!
I didnt look lalako tan
when Christine heard that "this thing is drier than my lovelife", it's about to be, maybe HAHAHA
I love how Mikey didn’t admit he liked the salad but admitted he liked the salad dressing
He is an honest man he never biased to any food he will tell you honestly if the food good or not whatever it is
Sitting down to eat lunch and this pops up. The food gods have blessed me today.
Hello Mikey, Thank you for introducing our store. I have been making soup of Miyazaki Ramen “To-Die-For” and they possibly will come up this weekend. Hope you can try them this time! GM Miyazaki.
I love Seiwa Market!! My go-to place for ingredients when I cook Japanese
"Drier than my love life" - and that's how the fight started!
Really envious of places like this. In Tesco (british supermarket), we get one aisle for international food and that's it.
We have go drive more than 30km to get to a japanese supermarket. They have most of the ingredients I need for cooking but they do not carry ready-to-eat food at all. ☹️
We get the same one aisle in Canada .. 😞
That's basically every grocery store in the US - and it's just 1 side of the aisle. You have to go to either the local asian markets or an international food market to get all the good imported stuff.
At the risk of being tedious, the majority of things in British supermarkets were not invented in Britain. We have isles full of rice, pasta, pizza, pastries, all of which aren't British. We then have counters full of cheese, most of which aren't British, fish, a lot of which wasn't caught in British waters. Our supermarkets are full of a plethora of "international" food. Maybe you're just not looking hard enough.
@@LongbranchOlivetti yeh fair comment, but in my opinion it's all "normalised". And everything is specifically made with UK labels, UK nutritional info, UK considered branding etc. I enjoy looking at "genuine" international food items because I'm not the target market, if that makes sense?
When he said “It’s bussin” I DIED 💀 i have officially heard Mikey say it all
10:20 duck is such an underrated meat, I wish it was as popular as chicken/pork/beef
Ooh I love duck, when I have it, its defo a rare occasion
Definitely. But it’s more expensive and that’s why it’s not as popular.
Someone needs to breed a duck that gets extra big and muscular so they get cheaper.
My favorite meat is lamb
Squab is equally delicious, though they taste nothing alike. Some say it is the hemoglobin in squab which makes it so savory.
I love both of those places! And that H-mart parking area with all the restaurants is great. My two recommendations are Phat Eatery, and Beard Papa.
i am having a bad day, but everytime i watch your videos things would just brighten up, i love your content man i feel like i've been with you through out your journey, this is my theraphy
Big Mike Said "it's bussin"
Bruh had me gone man😂😂👏🏾 I know dat food was hittin
I still don’t know how mikey managed to eat all that food
Well it is the 3rd best disappearing act, next to the creampuff and the tiny Japanese Foodfighter girl. (seriously, if your see that girl vs. how much she eats, you can only assume that there's a wormhole in her stomach)
He takes a couple of bites. Puts his faves away for later, and throws the rest away, otherwise he would be 500lbs🤭
@@amberwaves2223 yeah 🤠👍
I remember a video where he ate loads of food, told us "Shhhhh" then went to visit his parents for lunch and ate again!! Hahaha, be knows how to do it!! ❤😂
Tape worm?
The way you eat food makes me crave it. I can taste it just by watching. I always remind myself to watch your videos before meals. because watching it late at night seems like a bad idea. LOL
Mikey, you're the only person I know that "can't help it" and gets more stuff than I do at a Japanese market...lol
It's surreal to see Mikey going to places I recognize like the back of my hand but he's hitting all the right spots. Love H-mart and Seiwa, I never have that hard to find asian product problem in Houston.
Have you tried Daido Market? It's a really small convenience store, but I love hitting there after I go to H-mart or Seiwa and getting drinks and snack foods. Their precooked food is great too.
@@jokerbug Yes! My mom and I have been going to Daido for 30 or 40 years. I was so happy to see that they were still around the last time I was back home visiting last month.
These are some of my favorite places near where I live. I definitely feel you.
Daido is our second go to japanese market
@@jokerbug Love them both. Never had a bad experience at either. I recall now how happy I was when I first googled Japanese grocery store and found that there are two 10-15 minutes away from me. Daido has extra firm tofu, unlike Seiwa and often, H-Mart - something I almost always pick up. I also like not having to take time checking for expiration dates (talking about seiwa and daido.)
i just ate breakfast, i'm full and yet I'm hungry again. watching mikey is an appetite-booster
That's the H-mart I go to! I love eating at Donkey Yaki- their katsu, croquettes and takoyaki are really good. Also- the Phat Eatery in that center is amazing.
Which H-mart location is it? I’m in San Antonio and have been so desperate to dive into the world of H-mart lol! We have some great Asian grocery stores here too but I’ve seen so many H-mart videos and hauls so of course I have to go.
@@tahneegonzalez7975 That's H Mart in Katy Asia Town
Ooh no, uploaded right before going to bed! Well okay, let’s get hungry 🤤 love from Holland 💕
Same here. Going to bed hungry in Germany.
Just now eating my first meal of the day at 4:30 pm in America 🥴
morgen weer werken?
Hello fellow dutchie 😍
holland michigan?
As a native from Houston. For the H-mart area that you went to Soju 101 is an amazing place to eat. Also the H-mart on Blalock has a bigger prepared food section. And there is a 99 Ranch market on Blalock that has a good prepared food section.
Mikey, you rock! I always get excited when the notification bell goes off! Congrats on the new relationship! You deserve happiness!
Thank you for posting consistently, great content! For some reason, your videos help me fall asleep well! They're just so positive and calming ❣️
thank you for making such great videos you always make my meals less lonely ive been watching for years
Japanese themed supermarkets are always an instant hit. What other food haulers don't get is that taking time to film the selection before eating it is half the joy.
These videos are the reason I followed you 😁 I love it when you try supermarket food it always looks unreal 🤤🤤🤤
We are lucky to have H Mart in Canada...plus some Asian supermarkets and little Japanese stores. So hard to shop at these places...you want everything!! Thanks Mikey 😋
Where in Canada? Not on the East coast anyways?
@@gingersnapclay3784 Within big cities like Toronto and Vancouver; theres tons of Japanese, Korean, and just good south-east markets in general. I'm not sure about Quebec and beyond though.
@@gingersnapclay3784 In the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario...same as T&T Supermarket.
We are spoiled in Edmonton with 3 T&Ts, 2 H-marts and a beautiful huge Lucky Market, plus several smaller markets. All excellent options for hot food as well as groceries.
I'm close to a T&T, H Mart, and Galleria. I love watching his videos going to these shops as I can look for his recommendations
Hey mike. Can you pleaseeeeee bring back the airplane food reviews. Loved them!
Seconded!!
I don’t think anyone wants to eat on an airplane nowadays
im sure it will come back, you know when....the COVE is under control
one day!!
Mike thats crazy me and my friends go to seiwa almost every week. Love your videos!
I would love to see you try the Hmart Blalock location! They have a more “traditional” food court and it has the only restaurant I can get sundae soup! Bigger than the Katy location 👍🏼
Every time I watch your video, Mike, I get hungry. At least, I watch this before it was time to eat😂😂 Thanks for releasing another great video.
Luv u r vids I always feel mouth watering whenever each food item appears 😍👍
big congrats we would love to see the other dumpling when ready
I was super jealous watching mike eat from H-mart until I realized my own city is getting an hmart soon.
Love these kind of videos grocery store trips and tasting food from there!
Love your reviews! Very honest and your options are 🤤🤤
Out of the 3 H-mart in Houston, i prefer that one the most. Its always so clean. Seiwa is also a great place to get Japanese meals
I literally just moved to The Heights and am so excited to be able to shop regularly at H-Mart. 😭 But also Seiwa is fantastic; I used to drive from The Woodlands (about an hour drive) to shop here, too! So thankful for your Houston guides!
Is he at the H mart in the heights ? I’m trying to figure out which one he is at
@@littlemel1617 It’s the Hmart in Katy. There’s like this newer shopping center off the highway that has a ton of amazing Asian food finds there including a L&L Hawaiian BBQ and Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. I was just there last weekend; a very big and clean H mart! 😄
In Singapore where it’s super humid, we call “uncrispy” food “soggy”. Good that your katsu didn’t get soggy.
We would call it soggy here in the UK too
Im pretty sure soggy is what its called everywhere.......Im in Australia.
Soggy is definitely a Scottish word!!
The food and the variety of it all looks amazing, but damn, the prices of those items at the 1st store are crazy. I wish I could go about just picking items without worrying about prices. Mikey's breakfast equates to a month's groceries for me here in South Africa, bit it's all worth it. Such good content, keep it up
Yeah... That's the first thing I've noticed as well. 1st store... So expensive
I live in Texas and yes those are crazy prices! 12-20$ for one small convenience meal is yikes!
@@MyPaperTiger I thought the same thing too.. but if you look closely, im pretty sure its a $ sign, and no a 1. For example, I thought the yaki soba said 13.99, but really it says $ 3.99, which is very reasonable. All the meals seem under 10$, which is actually not bad at all
Right? I have never been able to just walk through a store and shove anything and everything I want into the cart. I will probably be living off Maruchan ramen my entire life. ☹
I love when these videos get posted.
Love your videos. You have given me good ideas for dinners during my lockdown and I just love your passion for good food. 💗
I love the area around that Katy Hmart! There are so many different restaurants there. I recommend the desert waffle place next to the hot place. There's also restuarants on the right hand side and they just reopened 85 degree Bakery there!
I always wait for the egg sandwich in all the japan food videos...looks so amazing.
Lovin all the Houston food love. We definitely take pride in our culinary culture!
Omg everything looks so heavenly delicious 😍😍 the homemade cream puff and the egg salad sandwich looks fabulous. Wow 😮
Welcome to Katy!! Reminds me I need to make a trip to H-Mart and see what’s new! ❤️
*Any legends are here who's watching it on bed* 🖤💗
I completely understand your excitement going to the ethnic grocery stores. I am also from the midwest, but have European parents and ate differently then American kids. I love going and trying new foods from other cultures and sadly, where I live, there is not much diversity. So when I travel, I go to local grocery stores to see what I can find.
these grocery store food reviews are my favorite!
Mike Chen: can not stop watching, I eat vicariously through him. It's a joy always watching you and your sense of humor is on point. 🤓
mike got so much stuff the last 10min is him going “oh i forgot i got this!” 😂
"So Much Happiness" should be a name of one of your ramen dishes!!!.😮😊🔥
The best Sundays start with one of Mike's videos, followed by a big brunch, and Netflix
Standard!
LITERALLY so excited to see you drive in the same streets I drive in everyday!! Love you mike!! ❤️ 2 weeks ago I commented on a video to come to Houston/Katy Asia town and u listened 😭
I absolutely love that Hmart! I go to the Hmart in Plano and Carrollton TX!
Another great video with so much delicious food I wanna try out!
I live just a few minutes from Seiwa and my shopping cart always looks like that lol I have to limit myself to just once a month visits. Always a great food experience
Luv the journeys you take ua on. Wish I had a local market that lets you immerse yourself in different cultures. Thanks for sharing.
I have family in Houston and have been to that HMART and plaza. Its so good. Also the boba tea and taro crepe cakes next door...incredible
Mike's living my dream, getting the food he wants without looking at the price
I have never been into a store that had anything like these places Mike finds. I mean this stuff looks as good as you could get in a restaurant. I need to look around and see if there is anything like this near me.
I watch your videos every time I eat my food. It is more like a hobby to me. 😂 Watching from Philippines!
Started going to Seiwa Market after watching this episode the first time Mike posted it. We've been going there at least once a month since we live on the Northwest side of town. Really clean and organized. Thanks Mikey!!!
Mikey eating the egg salad sandwich looks like he's biting into a cloud. 😁
Hi Mikey love the H-Mart reviews ! Please come to Cleveland 🙏🏽
It has been humid and hot in NYC too! 🥵 Finally, getting some cool air tonight.
Great review of food! 👍
You gotta get an air fryer Mikey. Heating up take home foods or breaded grocery items.... it makes such a big difference. No more soggy takeout katsu.
I was having a hard day. Thank you for releasing a video today ❤️
I can always seek solace watching one of your videos
thanks for watching hope you're doing better!
I'm there with you. I love how Mike keeps it positive, upbeat, classy, and witty in his videos, and I often find solace watching him enjoy what he's eating as much as he does.
We watched all of Loki. And I ended up yelling at the ending, and that’s all I will say.
We had ramen and sushi today at Kohana in Clarksville, Tennessee, and thought of you while we ate entirely too much delicious food. If you’re ever in the area? Check them out, you might like them!
I screamed the entire ending and/or was SHOCKED
20:32 Happy for you Mike, you deserve to be loved
I do my monthly grocery shopping at that H-mart.
The one thing Katy Asia Town is missing is a shop that sells sugarcane juice. The first and last time I had that was in Coco Sweets on Bellaire.
I'm 20 minutes away from Seiwa market and never heard of it! Thanks Mike, looks amazing, gonna go very soon!
Ooh nice!!!
MY GOD, how come he tastes so many dishes in the same segment. I wish I had that knack for tasting everything he eats.😜
Love your videos man, keep up the great work!🥰🥰
Thanks for another great video! BTW, cool music with the video! Thanks Mike! Stay Safe!
Glad to see you’re getting some veggies in your diet Mike! Lol
That’s my HMART in Katy, TX! You missed the bakery at the front , love the sausage and egg pastry and the milk bread is amazing. I’ve been eyeing the chicken katsu but I’ll def try it now that you mentioned the curry is has a kick . I love all things spicy lol. Also try the Phat eatery Malaysian restaurant very close to the hmart. Everything there is delicious but I live for their beef rendang , mee goreng, and the roti is buttery goodness.
Another great video, you always make me feel hungry. Some of the dishes you bought looked delicious. I cannot wait to watch your next video.
Great chill video. Thorough enjoyed!
It’s rad to see you go to places I go to here in Houston, especially in this episode. You should also go by Daido Market. It’s the Japanese grocery store we have had for like 40 years. ( it was originally Nippon Daido ) Seiwa opened here in Houston in 2017 or 2018 if I remember right.
Nippan daido? isn't it closed now?
@@Grim67894 Nah it’s open still, different owner and younger owner and it’s just Daido Market. Some people in the Japanese community didn’t want to see it go so some investors came in to help keep it going.
I've been to the Hmart!!! I will definitely be stopping by that Japanese market. I would love to see you try those restaurants in that plaza with the Hmart.
Wow, thanks for sharing this wonderful eating and shopping experience! Glad I Subscribed 👩🏽🍳👍🏽
That supermarket looks so nice. I like when markets have those nice brown floors and homey lighting
What an interesting $150 breakfast with enough food for 10 people! Mikey, 'livin' large'👍
You gotta go to the first Hmart in Houston in the spring branch area and try ToreOre, awesome Korean fried chicken!
I love these videos ! please do more of these comparing type of videos :)
Just when you thought mikey got enough food at the first market he shows us why we lovr mikey when he went to another market right after to load up lol
Hi Strictly, hi everyone, " awesome pick ups,
so much food I want to try", :)
Great
LMFAOOO MIKEY SAID “BUSSIN”
I would love a sea food section like that also mike is the only reason I know any east Asian food and now love it
The egg in the soboro don is supposed to be sweet, Mikey! My mom used to make that for me anytime I got sick when I was a kid. 😄 Also you gotta cook those arabiki spicy sausages first! It’s snaps better!
“Wafū” is the Sino-Japanese pronunciation of 和風
So I’m guessing they mean “Japanese-style” dressing
*和風ドレッシング* is just vegetable oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar, sometimes grated onion. It seems like foreigners can't help but kick it up with a dab of wasabI, which honestly I don't hate-I've always put a bunch of grated ginger in mine. Speaking of Sino-, if you put sesame oil in there it becomes 中華ドレッシング (chūka dressing, without the 風) .
*EDIT:* That's another subtlety that foreigners miss-it doesn't become 中華風ドレッシング (chūka-fū dressing), but a salad dressed with 中華ドレッシング _does_ become 中華風サラダ (chūka-fū salad).
For once I’m watching this during my lunch hour instead of near bedtime 🙂
“For all time, always”
Seiwa on Dairy Ashford is great. Next time your over there go to Mexico’s Deli and Julie’s cafe, both on the same part of Dairy Ashford. Mexico’s deli has great tortas and you will never find a better croissant than at Julie’s. Thank you for the H-Town love.
