Hey feedmeimei could u pls do a trying everything off the menu video for 85 c bakery cafe? Idk if youve heard of it or not but its a Taiwanese bakery chain and there should be one near you

[@moremeimei]

@@aliparib i've actually had a similar idea for a video for a long time! just never got around to filming it yet, but hopefully in 2023!

[@aliparib]

@@moremeimei YES! Thank you so much! What was ur similar idea? Have u heard of 85 c?

[@HANABiLOG]

Regarding the cat bed... From my past experiences with cats, I've learned that when they are really affectionate, cats tend do sleep on or near things that smell like the ones they love. That's why she preferred sleeping on the dirty laundry rather than in her lil igloo... My suggestion would be to use the blanket that you put inside the bed and basically douse it in you guys' body odors. It sounds gross, but to put it simply, just hand wash it, snuggle with it a little and that can sometimes do the trick... Maybe then Tony's more willing to use the igloo! :)

[@moremeimei]

that makes a lot of sense! whenever we put the laundry out she likes to sleep on it and whenever we have luggage out after coming back from a trip she likes to sleep on the luggage too so thanks for sharing that cuz that gives some insight to why she does that! haha

[@kungavkanada2081]

Cool! I don’t have an indoor cat (or a cat that has a ton of “human” bought items” but this is helpful to me for the future ! Tysm ^^

[@vivianw6740]

It must be so hectic for you to edit so much vlog + main channel content + shorts but these vlogs are so so heartwarming and it makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a friend. Thank you for your hard work and thank you so much for sharing meimei!

[@Jnebuggy]

Aww, love that you showed Hong Kong Bakery in Mtn View! It’s been around for so long, one of the first original Chinese bakeries in the South Bay…my childhood bakery!

[@moremeimei]

aww!!! love you 🥰🥰

[@notchoosea201]

ikea rocks! your literally my comfort channel! toni is literally the cutest cat and bird never forgets his fit check haha! love your videos! possibly toni doesn’t like her bed because it doesn’t have her scent on it. cats stay around and leave scent marks to show their territory

[@jadelynn1703]

It's so fun to watch your random daily stuff! My kitty loves to lick my hands and sometimes she tries to lick my eyebrows and face. Cats are so cute and weird

[@moremeimei]

haha aw that's adorable!!! hope you and your kitty have a great new year 🥰🥰

[@janettanaka2894]

Hi Meimei & Bird….IKEA rocks!! Cats are funny creatures aren’t they? Miss Soda is the same. She’ll choose to sleep in the same cat bed for awhile and then completely ignores it for weeks and weeks but will happily sleep in the most random spots….laundry hamper on top of the clothes lol. Here what you call the spring rolls we call them “salad rolls” and the deep fried rolls we call those “spring rolls”. It was so nice seeing your Mom make an appearance .. she is just so lovely and quite naturally hilarious 😂 take care!! 😊🇨🇦

[@moremeimei]

hahah omg miss soda and toni are twins!! oh wow I've not heard of salad rolls before! so interesting how it has so many different names hehe. thanks for watching janet, always look forward to your comments 🥰🥰

[@paigelane266]

I’m always so curious about the behind the scenes of your boba videos and also what you do with all the drinks afterward!!

I call them 'fresh rolls' but I've heard lots of different names- summer, spring, rice paper..so yummy!

[@kaaayl11]

[@Mysterybox6x3]

poor bird he really treid!! so glad your response was sweet regardless

[@sakura739]

Ikea rocks!!! I call those spring rolls... but a lot of places I go to decide to call them egg rolls and I almost never see spring rolls unless I go to a legit Vietnamese restaurant lol. I love seeing the boba content in your vlogs since it for sure has been a while since we saw a boba video on the main channel (minus the holiday drinks one recently)! :)

[@hellojojo9065]

Hi! IKEA ROCKS! I agree with the comment of sleeping where the smells of their loved ones are! Dogs and cats are similar in this way. I have the exact gray oversized hoodie that Bird has on!! 😂😂 I really LOVE IKEA too!! Is that the one in E Palo Alto?

[@ColinN17]

Ikea Rocks! That shirt looks so cool! It really looks like a K-Pop Concert T-shirt! Happy New Year Meimei!

[@Rebecca-ck8fn]

I have a unicorn bed that 3 of my 4 cats like, they had reservations at first but got used to it. She is likely on the laundry because it has your scent and she is laying there because it brings her comfort. She probably become more comfortable with the bed over time.

[@avocadofrog6784]

sometimes i wonder if the legos on bird shelf are going to fall and bonk bird on the head. Great video, love to see tony in the vids!

My cat Albert sleeps everywhere EXCEPT his cat bed. He loves certain spots and sleep there constantly then one day randomly switches and sleeps there for weeks on in...cats are really mysterious and keep us guessing

[@mariewoodward9713]

Hi MeiMei. IKEA ROCKS!!!! I have only been to one IKEA store in my life. I could spend hours in there but my friend was done shopping. The prices are amazing. The quality is also good. Toni is such a sweet girl. Bird cracks me up. I hope you have a wonderful New Year. Thank you so much for sharing🎊🎆🎇✨🎉🥂🍾

[@mdmnd2205]

I love ikea too!!! Especially their cafeteria 😂 after a long night Mr Pizza Man in downtown Mateo would always hit the spot for me and my friends with their HUGE cheap slices 😂

[@laurenaqmarie3958]

GIIIIIIRRRRLLLLL did you see they're gonna open up an IKEA shopper mart on Market Street in SF?? I am too juiced.

[@IllumiJenn]

In Canada, we call them SALAD ROLLS! And spring rolls are the deep fried ones lol. Oh and...Ikea rocks!!!

[@imperfect1797]

My suggestion, my cat used to never lay in his little hanging bed my sister bought him but I put some cat nip in it and let him roll around. Now he loves it! I'll come back to my dorm from class or work and he'll be loafing in the bed.

[@teehee8101]

I've watched you forever and though I personally dont you I know you're such a nice person. Your bf is so lucky to have you! I hope you see that and don't settle less for yourself.

[@BrannonNaito]

Spring roll it fried, summer roll if it’s just that rice paper!

[@neetidols]

My cat does the same thing with his igloo!! he hated it when we got it but then like, once in a blue moon uses it all day then goes back to hating it lol

[@moremeimei]

LOL omg no way!!!! that's too funny 😂😂

[@juliem8235]

I would throw a worn sock in the igloo bed. My cat used to steal my socks. Also you can change the location to the front of the window since she likes to snooze in front of the 🌞 and 🕊️ watch

[@raychl]

I call them summer rolls because that's what they were called when I ordered them in London and spring rolls can sometimes be confused with the fried version, which is not my fave 😅

IKEA rocks! I want those wearable blankets!

[@bookwrm4evr]

Ikea rocks! I haven't been there in a minute, but I've only tried their ice cream cones and cinnamon rolls. Haven't been to the restaurant. Also, we call them spring rolls.

[@hollyannrusso1906]

Tonni is funny 🤣 ya my English Missiff does the same thing. When he sleeps or every time he's done eating if he liked his food he will go in my parents room n roll all over the dirty laundry,🤣. His nick name is stinky

[@moremeimei]

thank you so much!! so happy you're enjoying the vlogs 🥰🥰

[@jasminee204]

I usually call those summer rolls (from the UK/London).

[@gnomevoyeur]

Here in Australia we generally call them rice paper rolls, but sometimes summer rolls. Spring rolls are what you call egg rolls in the USA.

[@bachngoc17]

They are spring rolls, egg rolls are fried and the only similarity they share with spring rolls are they both are rolls. Otherwise they have different ingredients. I don’t know who started to call egg rolls, spring rolls but I don’t believe it’s Viet as that’s not on the menu in Viet restaurants in the US. I found Thai restaurants to call them summer rolls, and having to be careful with Chinese as I gotten egg rolls instead of the expected spring rolls.

[@shelleyhuang1257]

Cats sleep on your laundry because it smells like you and it makes them feel safe!

[@savannahg.3232]

Ikea rocks! and I just decorated my room today with a bunch of Ikea stuff! Say hi to toni for me 🐱

[@TheBenohio]

Cats like warm places and sunshine. We have lots of beds and cat condos the we put near windows and glass doors and our cat will change places every day even different places every few hours. We live in a cold climate so she knows where all of the heat registers are to lay on. We put a bed next to one when it is cold. Watch Costco because we got a really nice cat condo at 1/4 the price of anywhere else. It has three levels and the top on sits six feet high! She loves being in the top bed of the condo looking down at us hanging one arm over the edge. I wish I could share photos she looks just like your kitty.

[@swimpuppy]

I thought of an idea for a channel with your homemade - boba drink vids bc then people can watch it there and stuff (or you could make a playlist on yt with all the videos on it-if you haven’t already (and if you can- on the ig reels or tt’s “shortform” content that u could categorise those vids!!

[@kaylateeuwen]

My cat hates enclosed spaces. Won’t sleep or hang out in covered beds or use covered litter boxes. It’s a safety instinct for some cats to feel like they multiple escape routes which those closed in beds don’t have. That might be part of why yours doesn’t like her bed 🤷🏼‍♀️
