Happy Belated Birthday Mike🎂🎈😘

[@changtng5565]

Happy belated birthday! On that day years back the hot oil king was born 😂😂

[@ellenashby1298]

Mikey Chen - I enjoy your videos You are so entertaining and I would appreciate it if you can tell me what restaurant I can go to for the crackling skinned roasted pig. I live in Brooklyn NY or I can go to Queens Thank You

[@carmenburton4918]

Mikey Chen happy belated birthday and Christmas... I'm with you on the whole birthday thing... I don't really celebrate mine either... I'd rather be alone. Doing my own thing.. but I hope you enjoyed your day out.

[@MikeyChenX]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone!!! Love ya!

[@ATHRxeyz]

Mikey Chen your great dude

[@sharonrichy777]

Happy birthday Mikey!! And also Hope you never loose your keys this new year!

[@bassach3692]

Mikey Chen happy belated Bday!! Happy new year!

[@cacfoundation2019]

Mike is just an overwhelmingly nice person. He really does great work on this channel. He is officially the number one celebrity I would like to meet and have a meal with. Keep posting videos and I'll keep watching.

[@TabiEats]

I don’t usually comment and I just enjoy your videos immensely. But today it’s your birthday so I had to drop by and say Happy Birthday!!!! Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@o0Erzebeth0o]

TabiEats eek! I found a comment from you guys on another channel! You guys should watch Mikey more. You'll rabu rabu him too!

[@coffeesticks_03]

COLLAB!

[@mugensamurai]

That's real classy TabiEats. Love your stuff too.

[@Rihful]

TABIIIIIII! Love your guys' content as well.

[@hiromamoru9144]

Bianca Bautista Awesome me too

[@mylittledogshoppesouthpark1350]

I do the same thing!!! My birthday is a "me day'.Sleep late.... Quiet...snuggling with dogs...watch dvds....send out for dinner(usually asian ...definately sushi). Relaxing!

[@strangulator42]

I also stopped caring about my birthday when I turned like 33... the last time I did something special on my birthday I went out for Indian food with a good friend of mine... she yelled at me because I didn't tell her it was my birthday until we had already eaten, and I paid for us lol... keeping it secret and doing little things for yourself just feels way more satisfying at a certain point

[@jackass5066]

4CZ because the birthday person paid

[@Meegoreng100]

@@lowrider3913 because she is a good friend that's why. If its my friends birthday of course i would want him to have a special birthday thats on my treat at least.. If she wasn't a good friend she wouldn't care that much

[@patshhi4620]

Mike, thank you for spending your birthday with us. That was sweet of you to let us tag along. I spend my birthday my self sometimes, and see nothing wrong with it. Who better to have as company than ourselves? BTW, that dessert tasting looked very appetizing.

[@shrtywnaryde]

"i love food and i'm lazy" mikey, you and i are soulmates.

[@thegoat5409]

Except he's very not lazy! He's such a hard worker, hustling from restaurant to restaurant, getting work done in between, and not to mention he said he works out 2-3 hours a day! It's so impressive and inspiring!

[@seamus6387]

Hope you had a good birthday and you're not the only one who feels that way. I'm the same way anymore.

[@MMabez]

Happy late birthday Mikey! Really appreciate you sharing this personal day!!! I think it's nice to have a day to yourself amongst the busy scheduling and your birthday is a perfect day to do it. I'll have to go get some Peking Duck soon as I'm just drooling while watching you eat that!

[@paulson2008]

Happy late birthday Mickey 👍🏻❤️

[@MikeyChenX]

Thank you!!!

[@kutisan]

paulson thomas mickey😂😂

[@jilltibbetts3]

I LOVED your birthday food day! Everyone should learn to enjoy their own company & treat yourself!

[@jamescameron149]

Just wanted to say that you're one of my go to channels. Your genuine and honest enthusiasm for food is infectious. Best wishes. Looking forward to your content over the next year!

[@leftydiablo]

Great video Mike. I LOVED that you gave your fans a great birthday present. I can relate about the birthday thing. I love just hanging out with my dogs on my birthday- which is today.

[@kellym6019]

Aww man, that is the sweetest, most wonderful thing you can do for your special day. Thank you so much for sharing your birthday. And no, it's not weird. I do it too so it can't possibly be weird, LOL. It's wonderful to treat yourself and celebrate your way.

[@torcosby4402]

I love the fact that you try new things, even if it's high class but you don't pretend to know all about the fancy stuff

[@ryanawilson8549]

Birthdays are about you and what you enjoy. If you did what you enjoyed then it was a success

[@bearholdshark3643]

Happy birthday to the best food vlogger in the world

[@hiromamoru9144]

Oh Yeah!

[@Baby-lp2yq]

AMEN

[@virginiacopeland108]

Happy Birthday! Thanks for spending it with all of us! Clark and Virginia

[@judywang2270]

Virginia Bradley better share with someone, right? He is all alone anyway 🤕🤕😵🤒

rewatching now and when he grabbed that food in the hotel 😬

[@marieking-stevason1775]

I am rewatching in 2021!!! I love Mikey’s food adventures!!

[@Death2Dragon]

Happy belated birthday! That's for giving blessing us again with another video.

[@MikeyChenX]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@derekschmidt2703]

Awesome video, shows that you're human .Loved that you made that couple's day,month,year by having lunch with them.

[@qilianyu6015]

"be careful of Elmo" lmao Happy belated birthday, Mike!

[@mariekay2406]

Happy belated bday Mikey,right before Christmas is my bday also. I have always been alone too, it has always been ok, my parents were always busy, then as I got older the time of year is busy for everyone. Anyway this ya was my 80th and I was sure there would be some recognition as 80 is a milestone? Anyway not only no, but everyone seemed to be out of town, so I really enjoyed celebrating birthday with you! Thank you so much and pecking duck is one of my favorites too. Hope you have many more.

[@ThereIsKnowSpoon]

Always a pleasure to watch, bro. Wish you the best in life and I too have a "TREAT YO SELF!" day.

[@Suisei_70i]

I've been watching you for years and have never commented. Since I can't eat the way you do for health reasons, I've been living vicariously through you and your videos. But since it was your birthday, I thought I might as well make it my first time commenting. Happy late birthday Mike! And may all your wishes come true for new year.

[@AwakeLazarus]

I’m with you, I hide out and avoid family, because every birthday I have had ends in drama that I have nothing to do with... mostly my folks fighting and siblings angry if I get a family meal when they all had huge parties. I say I’m booked for work. Course when you’re own mother forgets for three days it’s your birthday and no one else says anything you give up and make your own plans.

[@nimilpatel2642]

Owen Creed well that sucks man my family takes me to a restaurant and that’s it but it’s always quality over quantity and we enjoy it a lot I feel bad that you can’t enjoy that

[@hiromamoru9144]

Owen Creed I know how you feel about that,I was like that too when it came my own birthday as well as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's I felt nothing good would have come from me being around them during those times and they would have made me hate my life more and made me regret ever going along with actually spending "quality time together" like we really "one" big happy family all the time when it's not ever true

[@hiromamoru9144]

I'm Owen Creed on not celebrating my birthdays and the holiday's too with my "family"

[@notinuse5347]

I hope things get better, you deserve much better :)

[@AuskaDezjArdamaath]

Owen Creed Sounds like you also suffer from the birthday curse. Same here.

[@tonik-o3949]

Serious RESPECT. I love that you had dinner with that couple for his birthday! I'm an even bigger fan of yours now, you're a good man, Mikey. Happy belated birthday, merry Christmas, and happy new year! 🎉🎉🎉

[@cryogenic7233]

who else saw that little kid fall 12:57

[@meftry1993]

Me

[@FallenOne87]

I didn't. Thank you.

[@demxnbxyxo_9994]

Cryogenic Plays lmao what an idiot 😂😂😂😂

[@serena_davis]

Happy belated birthday, Mike! You’re not the only one who celebrates their birthday like this so it’s not that weird. 😂 I usually quietly take the day off work without telling anyone at the office the reason and then do whatever I want for that day: no fuss, no obligations, just whatever feels right that day. 😀 Don’t get me wrong; I still celebrate with family over a weekend meal but I like to have the day to myself. 😬 Best wishes for the coming year, Mike! Happy New Year!

[@SennukhaLive]

happy birthday Mikey, great birthday tradition... I think I may have to start one of my own, I always feel a bit underwhelmed on my birthday and like I'd rather spend time with my own thoughts quietly. I look forward to a new year of videos.

[@rosemarywong3223]

Nayahmka De Freitas q

[@rosemarywong3223]

Hi Mike. I thought I was the only one who buy a duck on my birthday. I eat half duck and really workout the next day.

[@janpetersen750]

Happy Birthday, Mikey! Thanks for taking us along...have a wonderful and blessed New Year filled with all your favorite things.

[@Righteous1ist]

The reason you'd rather be alone and celebrate alone is because when you're on your job you're around people so much and it feels like a celebration everyday. So on your birthday you'd rather do the opposite, which is be alone and celebrate by yourself because that feels more different and better than everyday.

[@nancycharest9914]

Belated Happy Birthday! I'm a new viewer newly excited about Chinese cuisine because we finally got an authentic restaurant. I am in love with chili oil now. Best wishes!

[@abdulbaqi9902]

Happy b-day and the kid who fell @ 12:56 lol😂

[@fallensway855]

Abdul Baqi haha i was looking for this comment 😂

[@DocFear]

Happy birthday Mike!!! My BDAY was on the 24th, thank you so much for sharing yours with us. You have the best KZbin channel ever. You work really hard and deserve every single bit of success that comes your way. As your fans we all love you Mike, thank you for all your hard work and have a wonderful New Year!!!

[@MrPoppaLu]

Happy Birthday Mike! The last time in London I had shredded Peking duck, it was one of the most delicious dishes I have ever had.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

Many people might not understand why one would pay hundreds of dollars to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant, but the experience is incredible (I’ve never been disappointed, so far). As you said, they do something to your taste buds. The creativity of flavour combinations and juxtaposition of textures is mind-blowing.

[@myfamilymatters]

Happy Birthday and Happy New Year. Wishing you and all of your loved ones, good health and prosperity in the new year. Loved your video as always.

[@jenniferprice1036]

I am so stealing your tradition, it sounds wonderful to not have to worry about gifts or coordinating hangouts and just have a 'you' day in the best way! Happy Birthday!

[@beverlyrow9]

Happy Belated Birthday Mike. Many blessings.

[@jerryadams5401]

Hey, Mike, it's your birthday. You celebrate it the way YOU want to. Thanks so much for sharing. Lo-o-ve your videos

[@Solitude1990]

I'm the same way. It took a while for family and friends to understand it, but eventually they just started leaving me alone on my birthday. Some people like parties and being social, I just want some time alone and to be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want. So, I get ya. Ps: You know when chen is knocking on the table after one bite, you know the stuff must taste divine.

[@angelgonzales4031]

Happy Birthday Mike! 🙏 TY for the vlogs. We enjoy them to the MAX. In your vlogs my kiddos and I can experience places and things of the world we otherwise very probably wouldn't be able to enjoy.

[@merianharper9551]

May your new year be filled with happiness, success and delicious food! ♥

[@samantha9189]

Thank you for taking us along with you on your special day, Mike! 😊 Happy belated birthday! 🎉🎉🎉

The ritzy place that needed a jacket...sounded like a food court

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 and a Happy New Year!!😎

[@theattch]

The little clover on the mincemeat pie is sorrel. It has a beautiful lemony-herby flavor, and cuts through the heaviness and sugar of the nuts in mincemeat.

[@GemBonhamHorton]

Happy Birthday and thank you for sharing your day with us. 😘

[@peachy-tay]

happy birthday mikey, thanks for being such a nice kind wholesome personality on youtube :)

[@sweetgal6401]

Happy Birthday Mikey ❤️! Take care.🎉🎉🎉❤️

[@MegaXboxKing]

You’re an inspiration Mike Chen. Videos like this really made me want to come out of my shell and explore the world. Keep up the great work!

[@MrKmoconne]

Hey Mike, many of us are stuck here in the midwest and the closest Asian community with a lot of variety like Flushing in Queens is Chicago. Chicago has a historical Chinatown, but it also has other Asian communities. I know, I know, Chicago vs New York City. It would be great though to see you visit this part of the country and do some exploring and let us know if you find some great places to eat. Thanks.

[@theself5738]

I have the same feeling on my birthday. I feel like being alone and enjoying it by myself. The desire to be alone on a special occasion like a birthday indicates something deeply spiritual. Introspective. Mikey, maybe you're going through a spiritual awakening :) Big hug!

[@WindyKelleykpop]

I’m glad you had a great birthday Mikey chen

[@davidoyama9753]

Happy Birthday to you Mikey ! Thanks for taking us along with you ! I want to celebrate my Birthdays like you too !

Happy belated birthday Mikey, I'm going through a hard time right now and all your videos always bring a smile to my face and for that I thanks you and wish you nothing but the best.

[@Dianasaurus983]

Happy Birthday!! i started doing my own thing on my 30th Birthday, i decided to ditch Sydney and go to Melbourne for a week

[@nobikage]

Happy Belated Birthday Mikey! I love celebrating other people's birthday but for myself, I'm just like you. I would prefer to take a personal day and spoil myself. No hassle, not imposing on others, and very relaxing.

[@bakingaero688]

Totally can relate when mike said about sharing Peking duck. I went on a school trip to china and I had to hold myself back from eating Peking duck for like 6 times AND IT IS NO FUN )-:

[@yaoteckng1034]

Reminds mr of an overseas learning journey(school trip)to Beijing China and I understand your pain

[@catmy5649]

Happy belated birthday! Hearing you talk about how you spend your birthday is like my own thoughts echoing out loud about how I' d spend my birthday. Always & forever be your fan!

[@heatherrennie2117]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mike Hope you get the day you wanted. Also HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018. Looking forward to the new videos. Take care.

[@dwightturner3070]

I love your new country home. After being in the big city until a year ago, I moved to 6 country acres in Kentucky. The peace and quiet is awesome.

[@MagdaH97]

Hey, Mike spends his birthday like me! Food and isolation!

[@frannielogue]

I love that you have tradition that you do for yourself on your birthday. I enjoy being by myself on my birthday also

[@Obamafan6861]

Happy BD Mikey. Happy to see you're a Supernatural fan.

[@wenlyy]

Happy birthday Mike! Everything looked delicious. Wishing you many more amazing food adventures in the coming years (not that you need it!) 🎈

I enjoyed this video soo so much and smiled the whole time! Happy belated birthday Mikey!!!

[@johnbarron4843]

Happy birthday Matt and Chen!!!!

[@natnise3243]

Happy belated birthday mikey!!! I never liked celebrating my birthday either...but then i realized that the person i should actually celebrate on this particular day is my mom... to give birth is something that takes great strength and usually one of the hardest experiences a mom could go through in their life...so even though i dont party i always take the time to acknowledge my mom on my birthday or bring her out to eat.. anyway...HAPPY NEW YEAR...until February for another new year!!

[@mystification3646]

Totally know how you feel about your birthday Mikey my 21st is today (12/29) and I think you have the right idea for just going on your own to eat good food on your birthday.

I am watching this a year after you posted around the same time..Happy birthday Mike 2018. Just wanted to say thank you for taking us along on your many food adventures to places I will probably never otherwise see in this lifetime. I live vacariously through you every time I watch. Thanks..and can't wait to see what you have in store for 2019.😊

[@TheChinaWatcher]

Happy Birthday Mikey. I've got my 66th birthday coming up in a week and since I live in Vancouver initiating a Peking Duck tradition looks a great way to celebrate. I have kids and grand-kids but enjoy celebrating it quietly to plan and philosophize. Enjoy your videos but have never understood what you are able to put all the food you eat.

[@beatrizfores]

Happy birthday! Happy holidays!

[@Fufupoopoo]

Happy birthday Mike! You are inspiring and I love all your videos :) thanks for explaining why you want your own time on your bday, my bestfriend wanted to spend hers alone and now I understand why. 😊
