Thanks for watching this video and thanks for getting to know me a bit better. Here's the previous video where I showed Chau where I used to live when my family first moved to America: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kInVnYKjiLaDg9k

[@dillnguyen4055]

It’s time to show her all the cool places now, Kyle. We walked the past but it’s time to show her what the future is.

[@Kindness-Peace]

I hope you and Chau a wonderful relationship and time together. You guys look very happy together and always enjoying each other's company. Chau adds a new flavor to your videos too. Great stuff!! God Bless you guys good health, happiness, and continue success.

"Things change!" Thanks for sharing your childhood memories with us..

That Chuck E. Cheese was good memories. I remember my parents took us there when I was 4-5yrs old. Now 38. How times has gone.

[@Ange-ns5be]

Love these series with Chau!!!

[@kyleledotnet]

Thank you! more to come!

My cousin went to Garden grove high school and I was also supposed to go there before I moved out of California. I also use to go to the pond and feed the ducks, I use to have my mom or aunt drop me off and hang out at the pond while they go across the street to Da lat super market or costco. I use to me so amaze at how one day they built a huge giant fair (strawberry festival) across the street and a week later it was all gone, when I was a kid I thought it was magic

[@kyleledotnet]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lifewithkinney]

@@kyleledotnet also I did use to go to $1.99 restaurant with my parents all the time, I actually never cared for the com Ga but I would get the com tấm sườn bì chả with side of soup. I swear they had the best soup and Cha but one day they stop selling the Cha because they said some lady complained that it sucked so they stop serving it, I was so heartbroken. Till this day I think they still dont have Cha. Also my first time meeting a white man that spoke literally fluent vietnamese was at this Restaurant, he said he was a lawyer but his Vietnamese was perfect with no accent at all

[@vietnamnguyen3218]

My son and daughter went to this HS called Garden Grove High School. I loved this place. I didn't know you went here, Anyway, good luck on this VNese New Year. Wish well.

Awesome video Kyle. All the junk foods brought back the feels man, except for Chuck E. Cheese, prob bc of the price also, my family’s tradition was Phuc loc tho and the arcade in there was my home away from home. Lol

[@dragonpkin]

Hi kyle, I've been watching your videos for a couple years now and I just realized you grew up in the same neighborhood as me! It's awesome that you're taking Chau to all the great spots, significantly 1.99!! Keep up the great work brother!

[@ladygrays6387]

I am loving this series so much. Bringing me back to my childhood as well. Memories are all we have of the past so cherish it. You and Chau are so cute together by the way.

[@kyleledotnet]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@TequilaMario]

My German wife visited her Asian relatives in the USA as a child. They also took her to Chuck E Cheese. This is one of the few vacation memories she can recall from her USA trip.

[@khoi83]

"Asian (boy) statue" wow... Châu has good eyes for details!

[@hawki9]

I used to work nearby and would occasionally have the $1.99 cornish hen dish for lunch. Have also been to that fish store right off of Hazard and Harbor. Enjoying this series of you sharing your childhood with Chau and us. More please. 👍

[@jahmezz5338]

Dude, I'm from that area. Back in the day it use to be $1.99 if you ate there but if you take it to go they charge a little more. My friend use to work at that fish store too. I think the guys name is like Harn or something like that. The food court called Steelcraft by Garden Grove library has some good food. Banh trang at Vat OC is good. House coffee at 7 leaves is good too. Costco pizza is pretty good and cheap.

[@kyleledotnet]

Small world!

[@aznmochibunny]

Yes, Steelcraft has some good stuff, but is pretty expensive. Opened up in 2018 or 2019. Still pretty new. Unfortunately the pandemic hit some of the businesses there pretty hard so some had to close and new ones replaced it. I'm still sad about Honey & Butter macarons.

[@SKD_TRASH_at_Blazblue]

Chau: Every German dreams of going to Chuck E Cheese 😃 Smoking Out The Window song = an EXCUSE to use Chuck E Cheese as part of the lyrics :P OOPS

I love the photos of younger Kyle. So cute!

[@kyleledotnet]

Ok

[@magsxoa4519]

You are definitely taking me back with these videos. However, I went to Bolsa Grande.. I went back and walked the halls again too and it was so nostalgic. Oh man, to go back... I remember the $1.99 dishe(s)... sooo good 👍

If you are going to drink water from a fountain let it run 30-60 seconds as it will significantly reduce the risk of inadvertently consuming toxic levels of metals or plastic compounds, or exposing yourself to elevated bacterial levels. Unfortunately ,the metallic taste and foul odor is still there. Next time carry along a water bottle . 😊

I have fond memories of going to 1.99 with my dad every week. I used to love that place

Im having difficulty finding those vids about siblings of half canadian half vietnamese descent. Canadian mom and Vietnamese father. The kids were all adopted and lived separate lives. I remember one of the kids that got adopted, she and her adoptive family went to Mauritius.

[@kyleledotnet]

All the videos are still up, just scroll back or search for family reunion Kyle Le.

[@therabbitnews9362]

Eh Kyle. I was in the service stationed at MCAS El Toro. I drove by this place so often at the beginning of the Vietnamese shopping centers. My friend and I decided to try a Vietnamese dish one night. We stopped and ordered a full meal. But I don't remember them all or how much it cost. The only thing I remember clearly was the very tasteful of white rice which we put soy sauce on it. That alone taste very delicious. We didn't have soy sauce in our Chow Hall, nor in our hamburger places out in civilian world.

[@kevinp8108]

@therabbitnews9362 - I had a college girlfriend whose family lived next to MCAS El Torro and I remembered the jets flying over her house! Unfortunately, the base is not there anymore. Good memories!

[@deanphabmisai1005]

Hahaha. Yeah been going to $1.99 to eat the chicken since 1997. Yes, If I remember correctly many items would be actually $1.99. Except the chicken, it would always be the most expensive meal on the whole menu. But like $2.99 while the other items would be actually $1.99. Hahaha. I still go there to this day.

[@AnhLe-yp9bb]

You should've given the ducks chicken nuggets

[@TequilaMario]

don't want to be a jerk, but feeding ducks with white bread is animal cruelty. Why should you not feed ducks with bread? Bread and other baked goods are anything but healthy for ducks and other waterfowl, as it swells up their stomachs. The animals are not able to properly digest bread. Additionally, baked goods often contain salt and sugar, which are just as unhealthy for the birds as fast food is for us humans. If ducks primarily feed on bread, this also leads to deficiencies and makes the animals susceptible to diseases.
