[@feedmeimei]

We are BACK with another Costco video!!! Sorry it took so long to get up, I was recently traveling in Seattle for a week and filming lots of the AMAZING restaurants there so keep an eye out for the "What to Eat in Seattle" video 😋 ALSO Trader Joe's video will be coming as well since we got the last Costco video to over 8k likes!! WOOHOO lots of exciting content coming for y'all!! LOVE U HAVE A GREAT WEEK 💕

[@Ryan.wang4304]

It alright Meimei I know it took very long because making a video alway took long ! And I already ate the boba milk tea mochi so I know what it tastes like

[@feedmeimei]

@@Ryan.wang4304 haha thank you for understanding!! 🥰🥰

[@Haruka6satou]

Yeah totally understand! Thanks so much for uploading such quality content! It’s the school holidays where I am and ur videos perfectly make my day from boring to AMAZING 🤩

[@feedmeimei]

[@Haruka6satou]

[@karenrobbins6656]

I’m in my 50s and I still love Hello Kitty. There was no money in my childhood days so I never got any Sanrio things either. I ended up buying Sanrio things for my kids. Thanks for more sampling of Costco Asian foods

[@KisaTheGamerCat]

Same! I'm 40 and was always so jealous of the Sanrio items my friends had as I loved Hello Kitty and Chococat, when my kids were younger I used to buy them all sorts of Sanrio stuff. My daughter is 18 now and buys me Hello Kitty stuff all the time now 😂

[@beathaknockturnal8555]

Why u this old watching this /no hate

[@KisaTheGamerCat]

@@beathaknockturnal8555 I don't know about OP, but I watch because it's fun to learn about different foods and boba. My daughter and I love boba tea, searched some recipes and came across this channel. Why do you think there is an age limit on watching someone review food items? No hate just asking.

[@marsisia]

@@KisaTheGamerCat theres an age limit for reviewing food? For what?

[@KisaTheGamerCat]

@@marsisia my response was to Bea' That Knockturnal's question of why are we so old watching this video. I don't believe in random age restriction, I mean a person can like what they like.

[@DessertGeek]

I'm surprised at how many dessert brands are adding boba fillings to their products now? Like I feel like they're everywhere! Also yeah I'd totally get it because boba mochi.

[@asiyah9]

I just got home from Costco and I bought two more boxes of the A-SHA Hello Kitty dry noodles. My family loved them and they make meal times a bit easier

[@beccaahill91]

I loved eating uncooked noodles when I was a kid! My favourite was the MAMA Thom Yum Shrimp flavour 😁💕

[@stantubatunow]

omg the Thai MAMA?? if so I love MAMA! My fav flavour is yen ta for!

[@elizabethnichols4257]

thank you for spicing up my costco grocery list. Ur videos are the highlights of my week, thank you for such great content Mei Mei! also I tried ur Feed Me Ube drink and it was so gooooddd!

[@feedmeimei]

ahhh i'm so glad you liked it!!! i'm so sad its gone but hopefully it'll make a return in the future :) 💕

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

15:37 the ones on the plate are egg rolls (since the egg is usually mixed into the batter as well as brushed on top for the golden brown color). And then spring rolls are made with rice paper (:

[@bbymonkeyxD]

15:32 i call them spring roll and the one with rice paper is call summer roll. In the east coast egg roll is usually bigger and have a deep fried bubbly outer shell as compared to a spring roll which have a smoother shell. I only saw egg roll in chinese take out restaurant.

[@akemikochan]

In hawaii, the raw ramen packet as a snack is forbidden at school to bring and I've been literally eating that these past few weeks. So yes, I still do it. Also, love to see mama meimei! Also, props to your editing skills. You really put in a lot of work with a lot of info. You do such a great job! When the beef jerky is so soft, I can literally eat that as a meal with rice

[@feedmeimei]

haha I had no idea it was forbidden!! I haven't had it like that since I was like 7 or 8 years old 😳 I need to try it again hehe. thanks for watching!!! 💕

[@akemikochan]

@@feedmeimei I never understood why, but apparently they consider it the most unhealthy snack to give to your kid to bring I guess, which obviously made me want it more. Thanks for reading and replying! Love ALL your videos!

[@ciennabancroft1726]

I grew up in the little viet area of sj and we did this with mama noodles...and yea the staff often said stuff about it expanding in your stomach and discouraged it but it wasn't officially banned but they hated it lol now as an adult with a bio background I don't really know how much worry was necessary...I kinda feel like it falls in line with the swallowing gum folklore

[@akemikochan]

@@ciennabancroft1726 Someone told me potato chips expand in your stomach. Saying you shouldn't, just makes me want it more ha

[@gstater4life]

Growing up in Santa Cruz, raw Ramen was beach lunch all the time growing up. One of the first things I leaned to make for my self as a youngster. We would eat them whole like rice cakes and shake the seasoning through the dry noodles.

[@arcie3716]

I love seeing everyone of all ages embracing their love of Hello Kitty in the comment section 💕

[@GraceLieu]

Haha omg when I was in elementary school, so many of my classmates would eat those uncooked crushed ramen packets using the mama noodles brand! I remember a friend let me try it, and it was so good. I told my parents if they could get me a packet, but they told me not to eat them because it’s unhealthy and full of sodium! You can say that traumatized me because to this day, I still haven’t eaten uncooked crushed ramen 😂😂

[@GraceLieu]

@@brianng8350 LOL yep! I’ve definitely eaten one too many bowls of instant ramen, and my parents don’t say a word 😂

[@GraceLieu]

@@violetviolet888 Haha I actually just did yesterday! I was craving a snack, and there was nothing in the pantry, but I remembered this comment! So I ended up trying it, and it wasn't too bad. The seasoning got all over the bottom, so the dried noodles weren't as flavorful lol! I don't think I'll eat it often, but it was a nice experience!

[@Elena-bk4fs]

you should do the same video but for trader joe’s products!! i’ve been trying so many of their asian foods lately :) i’ve seen so many vids of ppl reviewing their tteokbokki- would love to see you try 💙💙

[@saratheaxolotl2100]

I love boba٫mochi٫and Ramen or noodles so much 🤤👌💖Oh and sponge cake too

[@RichieWongTang]

I’m standing with you about the definitions between spring rolls and egg rolls. I hate when people/restaurant confuse other people

[@matchaT808]

Hawaii local here! Spicy Ahi (and shoyu) poke are also found at the Costco's in Hawaii and other local grocery stores (fyi spicy ahi is one of the Hawaii local's favorite flavor of poke ;) ) At least for the Costco's here, they use fresh ahi which is why it's quite expensive ($19/lb) but definitely still the authentic poke and not that other fake poke sold on the mainland (Continental US) that uses edamame, corn, etc. and it's not even mixed! lol

[@shigemorif1066]

The kasutera cake looks much more like the traditional type. The jiggly type is relatively new (at least in my memory). The one you have there that is more cakey is exactly how I remember it with the amazing brown carmelization of the sugar on the crust. So good!

[@Tickling_ur_pickle]

Almost at 500K, I think I joined around 200K. It’s so nice to see you grow! So many amazing videos and cool food you have eaten!!!! Can’t wait to see you at a million!

[@WoodenRoller]

Taiwanese castella is very likely a borrowed item from japanese washoku, western influenced Japanese cuisine. The castella you have here is the Japanese one and is typically quite sweet, the texture is also normal for it and still is sponge cake as opposed to creamed butter cake. Taiwanese castella is made with a souffle technique and is therefore going to look taste and feel entirely different. Also the rolls, the ones shown as spring rolls in the photo inserts seem more like Vietnamese summer rolls.

[@nailinthefashion]

Your videos are insaaaaanely thorough and if you could do this with other places like Trader Joe's, Target or Sprouts it'd save us a lot of money and time searching for unique snacks and meals! Pleaaaaaase, Meimei? 🥺🥂💖✨️

[@Comfycatnaps]

Yes!! More Costco review videos. Love how you review the products!

[@otoro808]

Loving this Costco series (in addition to all your other videos) so I would love to see another! Have you done any instant ramen taste test videos? It’ll be nice to taste test different flavors (miso, shoyu, udon)

[@cherrollC]

You're lucky you guys have quite a bit of Asian foods at your Costcos. We rarely have Asian foods. The tonkatsu is one of my favs and the boba Mochi is addicting I can't have just one 😂 I loved Hello Kitty as a kid and still love them now in my 50's...

[@rocketmonkies]

Dry ramen was an elementary school essential during snack breaks. Spicy chicken and oriental flavors were my go toos

[@ohrats731]

I call those little ones spring rolls. Maybe it’s a East Coast thing? The rule of thumb at restaurants near me is usually: egg rolls=large crispy fried rolls with a dark bubbly outer shell filled with cabbage and a meat at least, spring rolls=small fried rolls with a light smooth crispy shell and only vegetable filing (what vegetarians can order), and fresh/summer rolls=rice paper wrapped rolls with fresh vegetables and protein of your choice

[@trademarktm2222]

Spring Rolls have the gummy rice paper in my city.

[@y4kiy4ki]

you radiate strictlydumpling vibes, love both of yalls channels

[@chickennuggetsandfrenchfries]

I tried the hello kitty noodles and I love to add spicy sauces to them. Also I got the egg rolls before and I love them! Both of them are amazing!

[@melindakobayashi5331]

This was hecka funny and entertaining to watch! Thank you! So glad KZbin suggested your video to me :) This makes me want a Costco membership. Ramen crushed up with the soup packet and Sanrio - so nostalgic. I’d like to see you try more nostalgia foods.

[@noahsurti5141]

You should do this for Trader Joes!! (THEIR NEW BOBA ICE CREAM IS SO GOOD)

[@feedmeimei]

yep it's coming!!

[@rrvyalmvae7552]

omg i tried both the coffee and black tea flavors!! (personally i like the coffee better)

[@noahsurti5141]

@@rrvyalmvae7552 I like the tea one more but only cause I’m just not a coffee fan!

[@organicmangoes]

Yes omg the black tea one is amazing

[@nailinthefashion]

I just left a similar comment hahahah. TJ has such interesting snax, I can't wait to see what she tries owo

[@miscellaneousmoon327]

Chococat is my favorite of the Sanrio clan and I rarely see him so I was excited that he is on the noodles. Ah, the simple pleasures in life.

[@KisaTheGamerCat]

I never ate the ramen out of the packet like that but my daughters LOVED to do so when they were in Middle School. I like eating sweet snacks with unsweet tea, and I love Castella.

[@jessiechen7481]

I call those spring rolls. The ones with thicker wrappers from American Chinese restaurants are egg rolls. We call the rice paper rolls summer rolls here in Canada

[@Tahn23]

Loved this video!! Please do more Costco videos! I was so happy seeing you upload today 💜🦋💕💕💕

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

🇯🇵🌸❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. Love you❤❤☺🌷

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

I think I would buy the Hello Kitty Noodles! I love how plain, but has a solid base flavor. This should allow me to switch it up every now and then. Make it similar to biang biang noodles (with the chili oil), or even add a roasted sesame sauce. Many different toppings and veggies would pair nicely with the noodles too. Thanks so much for reviewing them!

[@nailinthefashion]

Some sautéed bok choy and beef or whatever and you've got a whole meal. Thank you Meimei 🥲✌🏾

Insane insane !! Wow alyssa! You are glowing!!! So happy for you!!! Boba for life!!!

[@Ebooola]

In Quebec, Canada, we also used to eat ramen noodles not cooked with the seasoning in the 90's, as a snack at school! Or dried uncooked macaronis xD. And for the " spring rolls ", like these you call egg rolls, in french we call them « rouleaux impériaux », wich means Royal or imperial rolls.

I grew up in Santa Cruz and I fondly remember when my mom would take us all to the beach (siblings and cousins) our lunches often would be Crushed up ramen with the seasoning packet! That goes back about 30 years also cinnamon sugar toast! My kids love it now too. 😂

[@jadedo9363]

in australia they're called spring rolls, and the other ones are called fresh rice paper rolls !!

We have a similar snack to the ramen snack in Korea called 'smash it smash it' it has a variety of flavours you can choose! Im pretty sure youd like the bbq one as its one of my favs!

[@A-G5518]

Just found your channel and I find myself binge watching for some reason, haha! If I had to pick one type of food to have for the rest of my life, it would be Asian foods hands down. But I'm also very clean-ingredients oriented so I wouldn't eat 99% of these Costco things you try but I have to watch 🙈 All that said.. as southern Americans.. I definitely also crunched up my ramen and ate it crunchy with the seasoning, haha. ❤

[@cinnaboba1806]

i love the tonkatsu ramen omgg also if you let it sit for awhile the noodles actually absorb the broth and it’s even better

[@chloegreen9966]

Hey meimei! Im in love with your videos and they always make me smile and as soon as I see a notification you posted i watch and like it💗 I've been subbed for a while and love your videos . 🥰 chloe

[@bookwrm4evr]

I loved snacking on dried noodles, sans seasoning, but my mom wouldn't let me eat it "uncooked" haha. I always take a few bites b4 cooking them. Mmm poke. Our Costco is just starting to carry more variety, which I appreciate.

[@BIENATY32]

OMG yes! The spring rolls I'm used to are the rice wrapper ones and the egg rolls are those golden fried ones. A white boy tried to argue with me that the golden fried ones are spring rolls. I mean everyone's probably got different perspective by where and how they name their food, but I totally I agree with you.

[@bachngoc17]

I agree,those are egg rolls, spring rolls are those wrapped in the clear shell and aren’t fried.

[@victoriagore6192]

We call the non fried roll Summer rolls 😋

[@emilystevens7837]
