24HR Vending Machine Room: Chinese Food Bonanza - Eric Meal Time

[@RsCloe]

You know what, it warms my heart seeing your son growing, not just phyiscally into a man, but his confidence, his presents around the camera, hes come out of his shell so much! I've watched for a while now, and even got a snack pack last year, I enjoy not just watching your videos, but being a part of your community! You're by far my fave youtuber Eric! Thanks for doing what you're doing :D

This does sound like a bonanza! Woohoo! I love that the captioning (which turned on after an ad) called Megabrain, Mayor Branson so hundred 😂 Nice to see you enjoying a meal with the Mayor. Bonus vending machine video with the added bonus of sharing a meal with your Son. 👌👌 It all looked so good Eric, and you certainly can't go wrong with the price of those many gyozas.

I love the way you pick things. It makes me think of how I picked things to eat with my kids. You really are a Dad and I love it. I knew it. You got a rice and bean congee. They are sweet and often have dates and peanuts in them. In the States thy come with a spoon under a plastic cover and you can eat them cold or hot. I used to keep one on my dashboard in the summer and eat it naturally hot for lunch. The Vietnamese make some interesting savory congees. I had to find them in restaurants, though. Okra makes sense to me since Japanese seem to like textures more than we do in the States. Good choice on veggies.

[@ellenlandowski1659]

There used to be restaurants in NYC called automats. The food was cooked fresh...and individual items put on plates. There was a hot side cold side and neutral side and people came in opened the little glass door of each compartment and took out the plate on a tray. The meal was calculated by the plate like Dim Sum. It was very popular with office workers who had short lunch times.

[@raviolibandit8396]

I miss the packs you used to give away. Never got to experience that when I was growing up. Love being able to come back and see how things are. Keep going ericsurf6. Also been loving the vending machines. Random ones like next to fish stations, train stations or malls. Very cool convienent way to get food. Wish the U.S. could apply this soon.

That pooridge looking thing is usually consist of green and red mung beans, goji berry, lychee, and others. And Usually, people it cold...not hot...you can if you want to. And the other rice that you called "gooey" is actually sticky rice filled with pork, mushroom, egg yolk. It's usually darker in color wrapped in banana leaf and eaten for one China's festival.

I'm always amazed at what you are able to find in vending machines. Honestly, unless at one of the airports or a college campus, one doesn't find hardly any vending machines around here that much. Unless it is a Pepsi or Coke vending machine.

Another excellent video on chinese style vending machine food ,by Eric. I'm jealous of Japan, with its low crime and large shrimps. Here in the UK an honest shop like that, would be smashed up and robbed. Our shrimps are generally the size of a finger-nail. I think with a beer or similar should have been 6 heads?🙂

that is a pretty underwhelming exchange rate for Australian dollars to yen, it hasn't been that low since about December last year. Currently exchange rates are around 94 yen for 1 AUD but im guessing the machine takes a % commission on exchanges

That coconut drink is fantastic. I used to drink it all the time while living in China, and whenever I found it back home I had to buy it just for the sake of nostalgia. Now I gotta go on a hunt for it again. The bean soup has left me traumatized for life though, beans and sweetness do not go together.
