Eating Taiwanese Ramen, Pig Brain Soup & Breakfast From 7-Eleven

[@iceomistar4302]

I like how in Taiwan everything is in Traditional Chinese, I prefer it to simplified, even if it takes longer to write, growing up I had many Taiwanese friends and they were all taught traditional characters and I always wanted to learn so I taught myself

[@6709LeftzBehind]

It's so weird, this video looks more "real" to me than your more recent ones. I've been in Taiwan the past few months and it's so nice to see you visit and to hear your thoughts! I've had that brand of noodles before! You're supposed to warm the sauce packet - it's deliciously spicy. I also love that the 7-11s always have tea eggs for only 10 kuai

[@mastocytoma1]

Not allowed to KZbin in a KZbin workshop. LOL. 👍

[@vanessamartinez4626]

He said "stupid 7-11 ice cream" hehehe... this was one of your best video's love. keep up the good work.

[@higherthangods]

I found your channel 1-2 years ago when I was searching for Tokyo street food...I immediately subscribed and am following you since then!!! YOU ARE JUST GREAT!!!! Eagerly waiting for you to come India!!!

[@tiffanyfelkner8995]

I am proud of you for trying the pig brain soup. Everyone should try new things once before they turn their nose up at it. Now you can legit say, no way! Kudos to you. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@MikeyChenX]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@aperson2549]

Me as a Muslim watch this 👁👄👁

[@SirenSeaAquariums]

just discovered your channel. its amazing all the places you go and food you eat . awesome

[@wtf5110]

[@NinaHYahallo]

He's human version of Snorlax

[@CloudNine661]

i could stuff my face until its hard to breathe, but then i get hungry an hour later what is this haha, and no my metabolism is not that fast, i am pretty chubby

[@littlesnuggle529]

Bro, if you've recently gotten a growth spurt and you're only 82lbs, don't worry about gaining weight. If you try dieting at your age you're going to hurt yourself mentally and physically

[@adventureleader9728]

[@biga4065]

my mom was watching the vlog and she asked "how is he not fat?"

[@MikeyChenX]

lol i dont know...

[@biga4065]

+Mikey Chen 😂😂😂

[@SL-oh8rq]

there is something called exercise. duh

[@sheilaharris5961]

Haha. He mentions in a video that he has a super high metabolism and he also has crazy workout routines. (Also explained in another video). I'd be full after eating like one or two of those things he usually eats LOL

[@duylai1100]

Moon Cake, ewww.. idiot alert!!!

[@yankeechef3979]

you do such a great job with your editing. love the Asian music this time.!! 😂

[@Akosiantonet]

9:14 Cebu has Pig Brain dish too called TUSLOB BUWA. You should come back to Cebu and eat that. delish!

[@jagaimeow]

watching this in 2021. when mike said the humidity in taiwan doesn’t compare to hong kong. oh well, in hong kong we’re basically baked to perfection every summer 🥵

[@oli_tdb]

When mikey hits 1mil subs just know i was here before 10k

[@mistertofu]

I love the MRT in Taiwan! It is so clean and it's really fast and organized! When I go there I always love riding on the MRT.

[@richardfila]

Glad I'm not the only one who can't be doing with the offal soups etc. here in Taiwan. I thought it was just because I'm British but now I know I'm the same as Mikey Chen I feel a whole lot better!

[@MrShpitZer]

keep up with the vlogs mikey!

[@MikeyChenX]

will do :-)

[@voncantbottomless2220]

Mikey Chen as long as you don't ride skate boards around, and wear chipped glasses you are my favorite vlogger.

[@yumilkmilk]

Just would like to say for that brand of Taiwanese Ramen , The packaged beef cause pack is supposed to be be added last on top of the noodles after the noodles is soaked for three mins and cooked. That's make the flavour better as the sauce for the beef isn't as diluted.

[@zenbidwell6486]

his routine in Taiwan is eat,sleep rave and repeat

[@zenbidwell6486]

*sleep,rave

[@nigelmulliniz4021]

dare bidders and also editing

[@jh276]

You are awesome, Mike. Give back to & help others....awesome!

[@COCO5823-j6y]

板橋區文化路一段188巷36號春野新派川菜，台北市敦化北路145巷9號郭主義麻辣火鍋I hope you would try out one of the restaurant listed above. You said you were disappointed with Szechuan food in Taiwan. I think you just weren't at the right restaurant. The owner/cook dedicated to Szechuan food cooking for decades and visits Szechuan province once a year to bring back authentic spices. I'm sure you won't be disappointed at his restaurant

[@lelam202]

Mikey, even when u r tired u look great! Love watching your food videos😋💕👍

[@throughmyeyesonly]

Back in the late 80/ early 90s when McDonalds were starting to pop up, they served hamburgers similar to what you had. Instead of beef, it was pork with a mixture of carrots, scallions. The french fries were made from sweet potato. I really miss those .

[@veronicaduarte7099]

There is a lot of people comment about the pig's brain. So what?! In Europe there is also countries that eat it... Well at least in Portugal.

[@waynelee891]

Verónica Duarte Also some folks do as well in North Carolina... in Missouri...

[@hoshimiyaeki]

Verónica Duarte some people eat it too in Singapore. I actually don’t mind pig brain

[@postersandstuff]

Sheeps head , smalahove (Norway) , head cheese (US) , they also eat rotten shark on Iceland

[@throughmyeyesonly]

Brings back childhood memories when I'd visit during the summers. I avoid the months May-Oct when I visit Taiwan now; to humid! If you ever get a chance, go up into the mountains where the aboriginals are, they have very good food.

[@MikeyChenX]

will do

[@TheLilacStar]

After visiting Korea and Japan a few times, my friends back in D.C. will laugh when I talk about how great 7-Eleven is in Asia. Like they are legit places for fried chicken, steamed buns, etc. Taiwan for sure is on my list!

[@oopopp]

Seriously... not even joking.... but 7-11 in Tokyo is BETTER than MOST Restaurants in North America...

[@gabehartman6832]

You are soo correct 7-11 in Japan kicks butt, and the food is fresh and tasty. Oden in the winter is the best.

[@oopopp]

Gabe Hartman ... 7-11s I went to all had signs which tells people when the fresh batch of food was coming out... and there were line ups in some of them... lol..

[@peter7811]

The goal of these japanese convinience shop is to make this place as a center of your life. Convienience is not just a word, they are really serious with that.. totally customer satisfaction.

[@TW-um5hs]

7-11 in America is just weird... The owners of them seem does not care whar's in it.

[@ferchii13]

7-11 in Japan? sorry? thats heaven of snacks and food LOL

[@nigelmulliniz4021]

When u go to Malaysia :') the humidity gets worse and it also gets hotter

[@lazystrawberrychocolatenek2919]

I am very happy to know that you love Taiwan!😊 Because I am Taiwanese!

[@posemwen]

The food looks awesome!! I want to visit Taiwan.

[@brandonpatrick9391]

Hey mikey my favorite part is when your eating ramen and traveling

[@REVALG]

Thank you for an awesome food trip!!!

[@RoguePlanetStudio]

where can i get some good ramen in the states????

[@mamajsingsjoy]

LOL @the pig brain soup. Bigg love from Singapore! Oh man.. I loooove pig brain soup here in SG. We cooked it with Chinese herbs and and cooked it for a few good hours.. The texture won't be that soft and custardy but hey I like them both ways! Yumm!!! 😂

[@boblazar1443]

What kind of workout routine you go by? Gonna go see in your past videos if you have something.

[@colt0958]

How mouth-watering can your videos get?

[@saipurlscinema1404]

Love your videos! You make any food look good; except pork brain soup :)

[@MikeyChenX]

haha thanks!

[@xiuxiu1108]

Going to Taiwan in a few days! Hyping myself up with videos like these haha

[@pearlintheoyster]

Now ur waking me up!!! Temple scenery is what i like bout asian countries

[@foreverdreamer331]

OMG THATS MY FAVOURITE NOODLE!!!! OMG thats like the best noodle ever!!! they stopped importing it in NZ

[@sandyliao1394]

Shirley Wang you also from nz?

[@foreverdreamer331]

yup

[@BobTheHatKing]

There's no one at the subway station bc A) it's 10am. Probably would've been more busy around 9; and B) you're at zhongxiao xinsheng. Go to Taipei main a bit earlier or at like 6pm and you'll see all the people

[@Arcanua]

I've never eaten food from Taiwan are those pancakes like a savory crepe but crispier, they look like they are when I looked at it in your video at least.

[@LBenjamin]

Mike, when are you going to try Japan?

[@Winstonchua1]

Hi just watched many of your food escapades. I hope if you come back here, I could join your training/workshop . And I would also glad to tour you around.

[@Semarazi]

Your reaction to the ice cream made me laugh so hard lol.

[@leafy6489]

is that strictly dumpling?

[@tarunchandrasekaran7701]

Yes.

[@sarp4life]

The microwaved foods at 7-11 are magical

[@siennachien3047]

I'm glad you enjoy your city

[@siennachien3047]

Our

[@vincentwong4077]

yo mike were you there yesterday watching the hk squash open or was I just imagining things

[@user-kq2ks9ry7r]

yes!!! honeydew flavor icecream is the best

[@criskity]

I've lived in Taiwan for 16 years but have never tried pig brain soup. And I still won't after this.

[@w4da1k0]

mike what is the name of your hotel? i didn't quite catch it in the Eva video. thinking of doing a trip myself. seems like a great destination

[@garrettanderson4372]

Everyone seems so nice

[@wu25689]

7-11in Taiwan actually opens 24-7 even during holidays and typhoon days.

[@terryguillot7879]

Give it to Mikey.... he eats anything!!!!!

[@crystalrodriguez6599]

Lmao I love the brain soup face 😂😂

[@techteamfm99]

How do you manage to travel that much with so much jet lag.. \

[@RobertFireLionBlueHawkWinkler]

Pork brain? Maybe. I do love beef brains and scrambled eggs with hot sauce.

[@pinkkittymusic]

Your comment on the bittermelon foreshadowed the DoubleChen challenge.

[@kentse3455]

what kind of camera u using? Its pretty amazing!

[@maanyavgangaraj8624]

We have like the same scallion pancake in India. It’s just called Onion Paratha

[@manin_love]

, the music you put on , it was on china uncensored too.

[@anthonybarlow5955]

That breakfast sandwich looks good

[@WisdomExplorerAG]

I wonder how much the ice cream cost? anyone know?

[@dariqaa]

Did you watch the Taiwanese movie Pig and Horse adventure?

[@travisjiang5112]

Holy, pig brain soup is delicious! In mainland we only put pig brain into hotpot so the original tasty flavor was often tarnished by spicy hotpot soup. It's so nice taiwan serves the somewhat original flavor. I need to come to taiwan!!! BTW curry dumpling is bit too much...

[@JaneTam92]

and there's a Cantonese style of pig brain soup with herb.....i love whatever way to cooked it...XDDD

[@xiaoming4203]

MIKE! kinda a weird question but how do u usually keep your cash when u head out? in the hotel locks or just bring all at once?

[@chibip6]

Haha so happy over your ice cream cone. That's ok Mike it's the simple things ☺️👍

[@conduuz]

“Stupid seven eleven is awesome！”*Mikey* Me- cries with laughter

[@AlvinWang0827]

haha, we even seldom eat pig brain soup in Taiwan.

[@djid10t95]

I learn so much from you!

[@Shorts88898]

Who’s watching this in 2020. Respect for food

[@filliphuang3083]

That subway system with coins they have all over China i Guangzhou the have it i know and HongKong

[@LL-ls8es]

7/11 in Taiwan you can pay utility bills, fax, buy train tickets, send package and bunch other office stuff

[@Goffe909]

Hell yea bro, 7-11's in Asia are 1000 times better than those in the states.

[@Animegami]

i love how Mikey isn't hostile to Taiwanese people like majority of Chinese people.

[@Jupi446]

Brian Chao Because he isn’t a China Chinese, he’s a Chinese from the US.

[@cee_el]

Sentaiman he was born in China but yeah the reason is probably because he was raised in the states. And to OP, I’m pretty sure it’s the opposite no?

[@Ms_Tania]

Brian How could you possibly know if the ''majority'' of Chinese people are hostile towards Taiwanese people? Have you asked the 'majority' of Taiwanese people ???

[@brucetsai7732]

i'm from China, and I'm not hostile to taiwanese people at all

[@kevinwang8369]

Honestly it's more Taiwanese people disrespecting Chinese people and calling them "disgusting mainlanders" than Chinese people being hostile towards Taiwanese people

[@efngpobruh94]

oh wow my house in taiwan is near zhongxiao xinshen station

[@jimmyshih639]

I'm Taiwanese, but I never have a pork brain sup before!

[@renee4869]

Jimmy Shih same

[@disco07]

I once saw my moms eat pig brains with scrambled eggs. Breakfast was never the same after that.

[@ThatOldBiddy]

That Ramen looked GREAT..

[@dothk]

Mang Han Quan Xi is the most popular instant noodle in TW.

[@monetbeck7015]

Mikey, you'll eat pig brains but no raw sushi or broccoli?? Try Teka Maki and Saki Maki. I love it, and so will you!!!

[@LL-ls8es]

Weather is the reason I do not live in Taiwan. I know the language and the country but I can’t handle the weather. The humidity drains me every time I’m there.

[@tinamckinney2328]

really like your videos

[@MikeyChenX]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@tinamckinney2328]

[@fabianprz8371]

[@liwenemerald8713]

[@TheInfiniteBungle]

Lol now that's a trap if I I've ever heard one

[@arnold2826]

The scary thing is how mike never eats to satisfaction

[@reponrepnation3004]

Yo hmu this summer 2017, lets do taiwan tour again.

[@misstila213]

Yea of course Taiwan is much more chilled compare to HK, u can compare the ppl from there too.

[@gardengalsu]

I was sooo leery of the brain soup! XP Glad you didn't like it; the ice cream made up for it!

[@theuglykwan]

This is the chinese version of Return of the Living Dead. :) Also i saw the Man Han Imperial Feast Cup Noodles!

[@hopevang6810]

I used to eat chicken brain and my cousin would eat the bone marrow plus shes slender but buff

[@YanHaoLuvBeatles]
