[@XxYadiHolguinxX]

im glad u posted

[@moremeimei]

@@XxYadiHolguinxX aw thanks for watching 🥰🥰

[@YourLocalOinker]

Also those soup dumplings you tried! They look so good btw those are a style of soup dumpling that have a soy sauce based soup which makes them sweeter!

[@caehlers]

LOVE the shorter days and darker, cozier months. Amazing how we are all so different!

[@nehru.5429]

Your vlogs are so cozy to watch :) Toni loves Legos! Also I went to Seattle recently and tried a bunch of places that you recommended from your food tour and I loved them! Among my favorites were a hojicha latte at Nana's Green Tea, and Don't Yell At Me!! so thank you for helping make my trip special! :))

[@moremeimei]

omg yay i'm so glad the videos were helpful!!! hope you had an amazing time 🥰🥰

You should do a « trying every fall/pumpkin things from trader joe’s » !! It would be so fun 🫶🏻

[@TeriAnnTsuruya]

Perfect timing of your video…watched it last night as my son landed in Sacramento (from Hawaii) to start at UC Davis, your alma mater. It gave me extra comfort seeing your video. I need freezer skills like you 😅 Toni loves legos!

[@catski23]

I love your videos so much, but I need to remember not watch them before bed… I’m so hungry; now, lol😂😂😂 Toni Loves Legos 🥰❤️🐈‍⬛

[@juliachng]

hi meimei!! I was just rewatching the last vlog and hoping for a new one!! doing homework for my history and science classes!! your videos always make my day better, and make homework go by faster!!

[@moremeimei]

aw yay perfect timing! haha good luck with homework and I hope your school year is going well so far! 🥰

[@michaelbalty2750]

Oh, @moremeimei 😂 You crack me up. “I can’t get too many frozen things bc our freezer is full.” *PROCEEDS TO BUY A BUNCH OF TJ’S AND FILLS AN ALREADY FULL FREEZER TO THE BRIM* ❤️

[@jackiek4159]

Literally died at the cats fighting in the background! 😂😸 Loving these vlogs MeiMei! 😍🙌🏻

[@tammyyoon1855]

Hi~ perfect timing for a vlog! Was having a bad day at work today~ I had a very rough morning! Working with preschoolers is alot of work! PS I heard that their butternut squash recipe or taste changed compared to last year~ 🙃

[@sarahkopperl7252]

Your fur babies are adorable!!

[@mirandamarras9198]

Toni loves Legos! 🐱 Have you considered getting a chest freezer for extra storage? I got one a few years ago because I also have a small freezer and it has been really helpful! (I got it from Costco!)

[@sandrabowman4826]

Toni loves Legos! You definitely need a separate freezer. I love having a separate freezer to store all my Costco finds and to store meats (I buy extra when in sale!) Mila dumplings are delicious!

[@emiliay5636]

My top comfort channel fr!!

[@amberford5658]

Butternut squash is such a comfort food. Sending warm hugs to you💞💞💞

[@heylo757]

4:42 Glad you realized about the bacalau. But your vid made me buy the non-fish version at Costco, so ty! They were SO delish. Also spied some frozen korean corn dogs in your freezer (and saw you did a review on the main channel). Have you considered doing a taste test of different brands? Been seeing a bunch at MegaMart, Osaka, some at our Costco. Curious which you think is the best!

[@vianneyvazquez]

After seeing you enjoy dumplings, my Mexican mom and I have been on a Summer dumpling tour here in LA 😂. Sooo good 🥟!

[@bumblebee_bae]

Have you reviewed those covered chocolate strawberries? Also, don’t know if they’re the same chain but there is also a Special Noodle in Richmond and that beef noodle soup is amazing! One last thing, Toni loves legos!

[@kelliehall6582]

Thanks as always for the vlog! Have you thought about doing a video comparing the knockoff Srirachas out there? It would be so useful to see which one is the best.

[@HCvacations]

Love the ambiance in the first restaurant you went to

[@moremeimei]

so good!

[@michocolll]

toni loves lego! omg I would love to see the trader joe haul!!! yumm

[@ireneliu7111]

[@notlitnicole]

can’t wait to see your trader joe’s asian food review! i recently saw the sweet korean pancakes in my nearest trader joe’s and i thought to myself “i won’t try it until mei mei reviews it” 😅😅 toni loves legos!

[@goosisters550]

Yay!! Always excited to see a new video pop up on my feed!

[@jess.ica3300]

omg yay a new vlog to watch while eating dinner!! you and bird should try curry pizza house in cupertino!!

[@moremeimei]

[@jess.ica3300]

@@moremeimei do you guys have a favorite pizza from there? i absolutely love the pesto one 😭

[@ledgergirl12]

[@salinarivera7]

I love how she said she doesn't have enough freezer space, so i'm thinking she's just going to take the two she had in her hand but no sis said 6 lol🤣, I would do the same w something I love to eat too!! Toni loves legos and wreck it ralph!! lol

[@paperandmilk]

Sad that the sun sets earlier, but excited for autumn & holiday vibes!

[@moremeimei]

[@alicejadeacts]

omg! you posted just as i sat down to eat dinner!!! perfect timing 🥰

[@moremeimei]

love it!!! hope you have a yummy dinner 🥰🥰

[@graziellamartinez5580]

Hi love watching your videos you ever thought of investing in a chest freezer since you need more freezer space :)

[@GraceLieu]

meimei, you definitely should get a chest freezer!! my family has one and it's a literal lifesaver!! you can fit so much stuff in there lol. toni loves legos!

[@CocoAmande]

Hey gal, I hope you enjoyed your time off and you recuperated🤞🏽 We so need a trader Joes here in the uk. We’ve just got a Wendy’s and I think we are getting a Chick Fil A. We are kinda behind. Hope you are doing well. I’m off to France this weekend so looking forward to some chill time. Much love ❤ x

[@moremeimei]

omg yesss if you ever come to the US you NEED to stop by trader joe's and check it out! they have lots of cool stuff. and OMG how fun!!! hope you have the best time in france 🥰🥰🥰

[@CocoAmande]

@@moremeimeithank you lovely. You just made me lol when you said I don’t have much freezer space……I’ll just get 6 (Mac and cheese) 😂😂 that’s so me too. I worry about the logistics when I get home 🫣😂 xx

[@magnoliawang6972]

alyssa, thanks for this awesome upload!! you need to start an asmr channel with that crispy gyoza xD

[@ldeap3]

I may or may not have gone to Trader Joe's multiple times to stock up on the mac n cheese. 😋😆

[@angela6909]

I just went to Trader Joe’s today, but didn't see the butternut squash mac and cheese 😭 Toni loves Legos!

[@1121307]

Hey for special noodles, the restaurant also sells skewers since it's also "Always Cool BBQ". I think that's where the smoke smell is coming from : ] Also, if you're in the area and want to try another xiao long bao place, I really like iShanghai Delight in the same plaza!

[@alaskanwoods]

Toni loves legos!💜 the sun goes down at 7:30 ish for us here in Alaska. But if you look up barrow Alaska they have 67 days of darkness.

[@mariaschwanke]

I feel like you need a separate freezer for business 😂 - those Costco videos take up a lot of space!

[@sadiestiglmeier-qf6lz]

Maybe for another Trader Joe’s video is trying new fall things? Love your vlogs 🩷

[@kittykattrang]

Tony loves legos!!! I love your content! (I’m also a Mei Mei!)

[@sallyyim4427]

I went to Tin’s Market in Oakland Chinatown yesterday and they had the Sriracha for $7.99. I don’t use it, but I recognize the red bottle with the green cap and rooster logo.

[@mzsborgelin91]

Toni’s so cute 🥰 Toni loves Legos 😊

[@DenLuo-wq6cg]

I just found Huy Fong Foods sriracha sauce at my local grocery store (not an Asian grocer) this past weekend in Vancouver, Canada!

[@lilly_koii]

i also stocked up on the butternut squash mac 😂 every month i go to TJ's hoping ill love another seasonal item just as much and i never do

[@moremeimei]

I agree!!! it's literally my favvv hehe

[@jenlee3398]

I went to Special Noodle for the first time last month and had the spicy pork belly noodle soup. It was delish!

[@brittlink]

Yes with the Mila soup dumplings 🥟 🙌🙌🙌

[@moremeimei]

haha I got so excited when I was them at costco!!!

[@VanisleGirl1961]

We now have special noodle in Santa Cruz, so I am excited to see what you think.

You should try Grand Dynasty dim sum in San Jose, it opened up quite recently too

[@thomasisthegoat]

It’s very close to the TPTEA in Cupertino

[@dllemke123]

Meimei I was just at that pho place this weekend! I thought it was interesting that they use the wider rice noodles instead of the super skinny ones that are usually in pho :o

[@moremeimei]

omg nice me and bird love that place! i totally thought that too when i first had the wider rice noodles, but i learned that a lot of pho places in vietnam actually use those in pho so it's very common over there! for some reason most places in the US use the skinnier ones 😮

[@dllemke123]

I also stocked up on those Halloween sugar cookies in August lol 🫡

[@dllemke123]

Ooh good to know!

[@gracepoe9934]

I love your vlogs

[@spiritedreviewexc]

my nutritionist provider completely trashes AG1and says it tastes nasty, someone in GNC says he doesn't like it because it doesn't have the facts on the side. When you use it in your next video, can you show the actual package please? Our boy Mike Chan "likes" it but i've heard the same thing as my provider says, but i don't feel like spending 200$ on something that might not "taste" very good. Tony loves legos :>

It's funny that sriracha has a shortage again. They seem to always have a shortage 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@bb9270]

Where’s mom?

[@sallyl5073]

I heard Japanese chicken karagee was not good. Too much flour and not much of the chicken. About butternut squash mac and cheese you can make it by yourself and saving money. It is way too pricey. All you have to do is cook the mac and cheese then add the butternut squash puree . Easy and Delicious. Thank you for sharing .😁😁🥰🥰.
