[@shilohl3175]

Love the vid!! Your positive energy is so lovely! 💕You should’ve tried the mini Thai tea mochi, it’s my personal fav!!!

[@ropro9817]

Microwaved naan??? You savage. 😆

[@anthonywhite9178]

You weren't kidding about the garlic naan. I bought one bag for work and one for the house. I think I could eat 10 bags and never get tired of it

[@taimi2127]

TJ's garlic naan is so good! My fav quick way to heat it is to let a pat of butter come to a sizzle in a frying pan, then add the naan. By the time it's toasty on both sides, it will have absorbed the butter. 😋

[@lindzhart9461]

Hi Mei! For the Bao Bun, what u can do is to wrap it with damp paper towel then microwave it. The result is just like you streamed it 😋

[@melissas7589]

they are soooo good!

[@Karen-kg4uv]

The vegetable gyoza does provide pan fry instructions - they're in the middle column of the bag description at 15:33

[@biancatrejo4403]

And they’re way better pan fried!

[@celinefederici6951]

Steam and/or pan fry...very good w some some Organic Japanese Shoyu Ohashi Brand.

[@daniellem555]

I cook the Orange chicken in a pan, get them very crispy and then add the sauce and cook till it’s sticky. We love it

[@ClownPriincess]

Yessss, way better pan fried!

[@sofiask4494]

Yessss that’s how I make it, so good

[@Ifancyyourmustache]

Definitely do a part 2! Tip if you get the orange chicken again I usually air fry the chicken and I use a sweet chili sauce instead of the sauce the bag provides lookout for the Korean ribs they are amazing 👏🏽

[@emailshirleylai]

They're harder to find but the best mochi ice creams at TJ's are the mini Thai tea and mango ones

[@michlalala]

The Thai tea ones are sooooo good 😭

[@kerryanne28]

I find this sooo interesting cause where I live in the UK we have only just started getting more authentic Asian food. So jealous the options you have xxx

[@mochibunnee]

I really enjoy the Paneer Tikka and chicken samosas. Their chicken soup dumplings are pretty bomb too! As far as the mochi goes, I enjoy them a lot, and if you let it sit for about 2-3 minutes, it melts just a tiny bit so you get the creamy ice cream feel and the outer skin is chewy too.

[@willdoxtna]

I’d love to hear your takes on their various Asian frozen soups.

[@YourMom-sz1ek]

The butter chicken is my favorite foods! I’m glad you love it too! We like so many same desserts and foods! ♥️♥️♥️

[@tiffany7056]

for the gyozas i steam them the fold part down so they get the most exposure to the steam and that works well!

[@xoxo.hannah]

yess can’t wait i live 4 minutes away from trader joe’s and this was much needed!! the ice cream mochi is the best!! 💕

[@feedmeimei]

omggg always love having a tj's close!!! they have the best stuff ❤️

[@leschea.6236]

Ah yes trader Joe's is just over the Pacific Ocean for me

[@dAfoodie101]

i’ve seen your videos suggested to me before but never gotten to watch! just subbed bc i love how you describe the food with actual details rather just being like “omg it’s so delicious!”. cant wait to binge the rest of your channel

[@Stina6266]

I always love your food reviews! Makes life easier for me so that I know what to get and what not to get! Lol love your energy Mei Mei! Much love and support 💜💯👏👏

[@quincysakai8895]

Trader Joe’s recently released ube flavored pretzel snacks which are really good! They also have boba ice cream that has actually boba along with either milk tea or coffee flavored ice cream!

[@lilly_koii]

is the milk tea ice cream good? I never see anyone buy it at my TJ's but I'm kinda curious

[@lilacbell]

I thought their ube flavoured pretzels tasted like cheap ube ( I’m Filipino so I can tell)

[@quincysakai8895]

@@lilly_koii I thought it was pretty good! You can tell the ice cream is supposed to be milk tea flavor. The boba probably isn’t the best texture since it’s in ice cream but it’s not a turn off or anything. Honestly kinda obsessed with it rn…

[@quincysakai8895]

@@lilacbell i don’t think I eat ube flavored things enough to notice that much lol…😅 do you have any recs for good flavored ube stuff?

[@lilacbell]

@@quincysakai8895 ube halaya, when it’s made homemade , real ube is used

[@colorsofthesoul2920]

I’m obsessed with these videos 🥰 Can’t wait to watch!!

[@feedmeimei]

aw thank you so much!!!! hope u enjoy the video :) ❤️

[@janpancake]

If you do another, I'd love to hear what you think of their Taiwanese green onion pancakes!

[@cynthiafrehse9473]

My favorite must try items from trader Joe's is the pork soup dumplings and the fried vegetable bird nests.

[@sophiachen7258]

Definitely recommend pan frying the Thai gyoza!! They taste much better that way. Would love to see you try the Thai shrimp gyoza using the pan-fry method in part 2!

[@M11A3]

I love your fun videos which are literally all your videos it’s so helpful and mouth watering keep up all the good work mei mei stay safe ❤️

[@ColinN17]

You should totally get some Trader Joe Cookies! I really love the honey butter shrimp! I personally called it Golden Shrimps. Let’s hope Part 2 happens soon! 🥰🥰

[@mustloveeyeshadow7799]

The frozen Tteokbokki at Hmart is very sweet. I've tried a couple different brands all are sugar bombs. I just make my own tteokbokki. I keep multiple packs of rice cakes in my freezer. That plus gochujang and dashida (or ramen powder) makes a great tteokbokki.

[@atyourbesturluv.7106]

what’s your tteokbokki recipe?

[@mustloveeyeshadow7799]

@@atyourbesturluv.7106 2 cup tteok (soak in room temp water for 30 min) Simmer 4 cup water, Add 2-4 tablespoon of gochujang, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of dashida or ramen seasoning. Add drained tteok and optional hard boiled egg, green onions and fish cake. Simmer until sauce reaches desired consistency and rice cakes are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. If adding ramen add an extra 1/2 cup water and add ramen noodles when rice cakes are halfway soft. You will need to stir frequently as rice cakes stick to the pan easily. Also the sauce should be more soupy if adding ramen because the ramen won't cook right otherwise. When done you can optionally add cheese (American cheese or mozzarella) and some sliced green onions. It tastes good with and without the optional ingredients. Also taste after adding the seasoning to the water so you can adjust to your taste preferences.

[@stephaniesosna8213]

For people who can't handle spicy tteokbokki, try using coconut milk instead of the water 😊

[@Mandapanda.]

That might help to cut through the sweetness too

[@janesays1278]

@@Mandapanda. I don’t think so, coconut milk can lend a sweetness on its own, even the canned variety is somewhat naturally sweet!

[@Weiyinglou]

For the Gyoza which are my favorites I rinse them in water and drain them then microwave them. No hard parts. And I eat them with ponzu sauce and chili oil with extra szechuan peppercorn.

[@naomig4797]

My mom made rhe orange chicken on the stove! It was the perfect thing to have for lunch after dance class and it was SO yummy! 😋😋😋

[@debbieshurson714]

We like the orange chicken in the air fryer and serve over TJs veggie fried rice. The garlic naan is the bomb!

[@mustloveeyeshadow7799]

I would recommend the mochi cake mix. It's supposedly Hawaiian but reminds me of the Thai/S.E. Asian deserts that I love.

[@juliachng]

meimei, Ive been waiting for this, lol ive wanted the ice cream mochi for 3 days. also strawbery is my favorite :) edit also happy aaph month i celebrate. also are you planning on doing clothing merch? also also random thing are you a harry styles fan? also also congrats on 588k i know youll reach 1 million one day 💖💖

[@onebayandagrey8361]

she’s already at 594k and you wrote that comment 3 days ago!

[@piachen7354]

The Thai tea mochi ice creams are pretty good!! They are minis and I feel the texture of the mochi is better too! 😊

[@rocketmonkies]

Trader Joe's ice cream mochi was my introduction to mochi. The brand you showed is what I remember buying.

[@Philoxenist]

Yaaay!!! I love Trader Joe’s! So glad you reviewed these goodies 😋

[@feedmeimei]

heheh let me know what I should do in part 2 if we do one!!! ❤️

[@spiritedreviewexc]

I'm so glad you got the orange chicken cause i got 3 bags of them and still not sure if i'll like them, but they look super simple to make, and i've been craving orange chicken! they're the perfect size too.... i'll have to steam the bows next time they're my go to, and I get a tun of them because they tend to sell out alot of the time

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

they are good, I get 8 bags

[@spiritedreviewexc]

@@Skater21Loverboyz woah I might have found my new favorite thing. I'm working on the tater tots mom got me last week at the local grocery store next time they're going in the oven for longer

[@hurryknee5245]

i love the green tea mochi ice cream from Trader Joe’s :))) (it tastes better when you let it defrost for 6-7 minutes, it’s so much softer)

[@shaziaghani4044]

Yessssss!! Another one of meimei's video to cure my depression, always love ur vids ❤

[@betsy3473]

Hi Mei Mei! I love the lamb vindaloo too 🥰 so good!

[@silverstar8886]

Hi Mei Mei! I discovered your Trader Joe reviews only recently. I must say that the garlic naan goes well with the palak paneer, which you reviewed in your other video. Just scooping the naan into the sauce is so yummy! Thanks for your great work!

[@itzmitsusoup]

My favorite is the mini cilantro wontons! So good in soup or ramen.

[@LaurenNutella]

Your videos are so deliciously-cozy. They’re the perfect thing to accompany my solo meals and make them much more enjoyable. Keep it up Mei Mei 🤍

[@napsiyah1]

U should do a what I eat in a week video meimei! I’d totally watch your regular at home meals and get a peak into ur life! Love ur vids!

[@510almond]

So excited to watch this!! Love Trader Joe's so this will be such a great help!

[@feedmeimei]

yay!!! hope u enjoy the video hehe :) ❤️

[@mittensthebunny2710]

It was my birthday today and i got the Boba Straw!!! I'm so excited to use it, I'm having boba tonight and I'm so excited to use it, I've been wanting them since January and soo happy I got them!

[@AshleyNgCello]

Omg you gotta do the chicken and pork gyoza! (Used to like the pork more but I def like the chicken more - and pan fried, not steamed haha.) And the Korean scallion pancake and the new green onion pancake! Also the new-ish boba ice cream… not too sure how I feel about the actual milk tea flavored ice cream 🙄🤔

[@valeriejkelly]

Omg you have to try the broccoli beef! That's my favorite! The Lamb Vindaloo is amazing. I have the Tteokbokki in my freezer and hope to taste it soon.

[@lindzhart9461]

You were right! I have an old bottle of the chili onion crunch and it does say exactly like that, different from the new bottle 🤔

[@dmd2803]

You have to wait for the mochi to thaw for 5 or so minutes!! they are so good and soft afterwards

[@birdtunes]

Trader joes Asian foods are actually so slept on! Very good video :)

[@rightangletriangle3188]

Thanks for sharing. Next time in TJ will definitely pick up some to try.

[@lilly_koii]

my favorite mochi's are the mango and Thai tea! theyre a lot smaller so it helps me ration them out too 😆

[@esczaman1299]

I love these vids tysm! Plz do a boba video I cant wait for that to come out as I miss them so much! Also, I ❤️ BOBA so that’s why I request for these!

[@chenpo4294]

My favorite is the frozen short rib -gal bi in the freezer section. I cook them up and cut and serve Korean bowls with kimchi and toppings over rice. Also my fave flavor is the ube mochi ice cream! Is good. Try it if you can find it!

[@HeyLetsDoAThing]

Trader Joe's soup dumplings are some of the best frozen soup dumplings you can get. Pork and Ginger is my favorite. So good! I had no idea they had tteokbokki! I gotta get me some.

[@MyNameIsBrianaCeja]

I love the Philly cheesesteaks baos with hmong pepper sauce to give it a kick! When I heat mine up, I put a small cup of water to keep the baos soft and fluffy 🥴😋

[@PaigeandCaleb]

The ddukbokki sauce has a very strong pepper flavor as well, but yeah for 3 bucks at TJ's nearby, I'm not complaining!

[@danielah6121]

I love ur channel! I recommend eating while watching vids so I don’t get hungry lol!

[@feedmeimei]

haha omg I do the same thing!

[@tanjingwen7]

love your videos!! i just started watching your content and i am obsessed!! after every boba video i watched with you, i would always go get boba to drink ahhh

[@feedmeimei]

haha aw omg I love that!!! thank you so much for watching, appreciate you :) ❤️

[@shann0n628]

The chicken tikka masala and shrimp tempera are good too!

[@dAfoodie101]

2:01 it’s so funny you say this because the microwave makes bread chewy, which is usually a drawback, but enhances the naan here! we love to see it because i don’t have time to wait for the air fryer lol

[@TheLexiandamandashow]

The ube mochi ice cream is my favorite!! It’s seasonal though so it’s hard to get 😅 I think it’s coming soon though

[@Meadow881]

Yea it’s very hard to get ube products at Trader Joe’s

[@josephvelez4924]

i just started watching you but i already love all ur videos!!

[@feedmeimei]

aw thank you so much!! appreciate you :)

[@julieblair7472]

Pat the naan all over with wet hands and then into the air fryer! It comes out chewy but the outside tastes fresh baked. I LOVE them.

[@erik0073]

Great tip!

[@cheyennemathis8578]

I have an obsession to those veggie samosas. I put them in the air fryer and get them really crispy and I can finish off a whole box in a few minutes. I always gotta get 2 boxes

[@soobiin]

THE BANH BAOS THERE R SO GOOD I LOVE IT

[@koukicody]

The Ube Mochi Pancake mix just came back available. Make sure you try it since we all know you love UBE! (and make it as a waffle, it's much better)

[@Mishyx]

I always buy the bulgogi fried rice, But I always add to it. I add an egg, asparagus, corn and some sauce. Ramp it up a lot! But it's a decent base for whatever you like to add to your fried rice.

[@karli4074]

you should definitely try the coffee boba ice cream from trader joe’s! i believe it’s dairy free and it’s super good💗🫶🏻

[@LansdowneLover]

The Thai tea mochi is my absolute favorite! I get it every time I go

[@marjaymanansala856]

Yum! My favorite is their soup dumplings.

[@feedmeimei]

[@-germ-]

for mochi my fav is vanilla, green tea, or the Thai tea ones!

Trader Joe's ftw! Also, I'm so happy your Feed Me Ube! drink is baaaack!!

[@Rebecca-ck8fn]

I love the green tea mochi 🤗

I find the TJ Butter Chicken really tasty. If you think that one is creamy, you need to head over to Vallejo for Taj Grill. It is the BEST butter chicken ever! Seriously Meiemi, you need to go to Taj Grill!

[@greenster1212]

Loveee the Zindrew x batch chili oil😍

[@jenna_h]

I’ve also tried the tteokbokki from Trader Joe’s and it’s more sweeter than I’m used to

[@juliem8235]

I wasn’t a fan of the Trader Joe’s orange chicken. Costco’s orange chicken tempura is much better. I liked the Thai mochi flavor the best. Mango not so good. You should try Trader Joe’s Korean style beef short ribs and kung pao chicken.

[@HannahTLee]

The butter tikka masala is my fave!

[@wendyperez2757]

I like the Kung Pao Chicken and Kalbi ribs. Please try these items from Trader Joe's next time. Enjoy!

[@momodias1997]

I was the biggest fan of the TJ cheesesteak bao buns BUT I love their pork bao buns

From NJ, we called the fried fatter Rolls with thick wrapper egg rolls. The thin skinny fried rolls spring rolls. And the fresh raw rolls summer rolls .!

[@heylo757]

First, we finally got a membership so I am hitting up that store with this vid in mind! Second, where did you get that cute magnetic(?) kitchen organizer on your fridge? Don't say Costco lol. Oh third. We finally tried QQ Noodle from your South Bay video. Garlic noodles were worth the drive!

[@chendachum4898]

[@feedmeimei]

thanks bestie!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@gracievallee2551]

re the spring roll thing, I always called them spring rolls when they’re fried because that’s what they’re called in asia (vietnam where I had them all the time) and fresh spring rolls when they’re not fried

[@stinkytoes1648]

The thai tea mochi is REALLY good

[@emilyr.desantos4628]
