Trying NEW ASIAN FOOD at TRADER JOE'S 2023! (instant boba, chicken karaage, squiggly noodles + more)

[@feedmeimei]

Comment below any other grocery stores/supermarkets/etc you'd like to see me review! 😋👇

[@basiIlll]

yes

[@aliparib]

hey meimei did you try the kimbap from trader joes that I mentioned in your last video yet?

[@victofu264]

marukai!

[@JS-yu4xm]

This isn't really food but- could u review daiso

[@danielledaniel1900]

​@@aliparib she might not. It been selling out

[@jenny85]

The Trader Joe's website has a lot of recipes to go with some of these frozen products. For example, there is a "Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice Stuffed Pineapple" recipe using the BBQ Teriyaki Chicken. When I run out of ideas on what to cook, I like to browse the recipes to try something new.

[@ArtisticKaimage]

OMGGGGG I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE THESE VIDEOS . They give me so much insight on what to purchase from these stores and to incorporate into meal prepping ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Asian food is so diverse and so much fun to explore ❤❤❤❤

[@ohrats731]

I was pleasantly surprised by the Joe’s instant boba. I do wish the pearls were a little bigger, but the texture is way better than I expected and the flavor is pretty legit

[@thecrustytomato_]

i have a concerning amount of them in my freezer xD

[@natalieheeb376]

I could watch these supermarket food reviews from you all day, your voice is so lovely and you have such a wonderful calm but somehow almost excited(?) energy about you and it's the best thing ever. I feel like I'm around my favorite chinese cousins

[@ilianacamua2919]

best part of my week is when Mei Mei uploads

[@jyotiswamy6305]

Literally about to watch right before I go to Trader Joe’s!!!! Love you feed meimei!!! I’m manifesting that I get to meet you one day, I live in SF!!!😢

[@francesca_86]

Omg yesss! You should do a fall Trader Joe’s video 🍁🧡🍂

[@feedmeimei]

ooo good idea!! there's so many items I haven't tried!

[@michaelbalty2750]

*Adding chili oil to your already seasoned noodles and saying it’s ten times better bc of it…Mikey Chen would be proud!* 😂❤

[@henrybowes4558]

This is one of my favorite videos from you you should do this video but trying stuff from Hmart that would be fun ily

[@feedmeimei]

ooo yes definitely have hmart on my list!! 🥰🥰

[@selfself8813]

The japchae is FANTASTIC. I try to always have at least one package in my freezer, ready for a quick and delicious dinner!

[@lololol80204]

Do a Hmart food haul! Also, I hope Bird and mom are there to eat all those food you made!

[@cutepenguin456]

Omg yes! New Trader’s Joes food haul! I am always so excited and happy when FeedMeiMei’s vids. PS: I watch your vids like every single day, my favorite vid is the Korean corn dog one! ❤

[@feedmeimei]

aw thank you so much! that means a lot to me 🥰 so glad you're enjoying the vids!

[@karamiaone]

The kimbap is surprisingly pretty good. It sold out everywhere. It will be restocked in October/November ,according to my Trader Joe.

[@sandyhossman7771]

Thanks I wanted to try it and my store was sold out. I hate frozen dinners but I keep a few of their Indian frozen food in my freezer and their Pad Thai.

[@sakurasato5599]

Plz check out - Mitsuwa - Tokyo central - Nijia market - Erehwon(no idea how to spell) - Daiso - or any expensive market L.A or Cali has to offer😁🤷‍♀️

[@wisdomsounds777]

Thank you so much!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@AlexandraUtschig]

We love the Japanese fried rice, we eat it all the time. The bulgogi kimchi fried rice is awesome as well.

[@mitziegines143]

I love watching your videos! You’re always so honest and fun to watch. Tip for when I eat something in a hot container is I bought these larger coffee mugs and they pop right in! Plus they have the handle! ❤

[@annie9855]

I’ve tried a lot of their frozen meals and they are surprisingly good! I dont typically eat frozen foods but I will eat the ones from TJs

[@HazelEyedGurls]

Excellent video! Ty so much!x

[@mustloveeyeshadow7799]

Love the mee krob crispy noodles (vegan) at trader Joe's. It needs fish sauce but is pretty authentic thai flavors. My local Costco just got a lot of new Korean foods in the refrigerated and frozen sections. They also had a similar "cinnamon stuffed pancake " which they were demoing. It was very doughy and not chewy enough. I've eaten the proper Korean version and it doesn't really compare. On the other hand the mini red bean taiyaki were very tasty.

[@cooking60210]

5:19 the ube joe-joes are way too sweet!

[@allierab]

Hii meimei! don’t worry you said hotteok correctly (I’m Korean myself). by the way, the hotteok is supposed to be more chewy not crunchy. I really enjoy your videos MeiMei and always enjoy when you post! If you ever have the chance to, could I review food places in the dmv area?

[@Ternence-l4p]

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

[@Grace-mn4el]

It would be so cool if you did some asian grocery store reviews looking for the best brands!!

[@camkind4377]

I was influenced... and I'm eating the Butternut squash mac and cheese as I watch :D It's pretty good. Paired with some frozen veggies. Yum.

[@shionp]

i love the way you review food! so kind and open!

[@paseandcoint4791]

I love that paneer tikka masala. As a vegetarian who eats light, it’s a great college dinner or lunch! Everything looked so good! 😚

[@chloepinnella8998]

Try the Channa Masala! It’s so good, especially with the garlic naan

[@paseandcoint4791]

@@chloepinnella8998 ty for the suggestion! I’ll add it to my shopping list for next week ✨

[@Giaandkhloearemybestiesforever]

I love your videos! Especially the ones at Disney!! ❤

[@Michael4Reall00]

You should try Asian food from Aldi they have a lot of good stuff

[@ashlynbriggs2818]

It would also be cool to see you try one of the subscription boxes you can buy where they send you Asian/other international snacks!!

[@Lionel-s6m]

Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity can be the tick of a clock.

[@margeakaseattlegirl264]

I buy the TJ’s japchae all the time. Delish! Yes, If you microwave them for 3 minutes then take out, stir, put plastic back on and then cook for additional 2 minutes. 😂 Try it again in the microwave. 🫶

[@nicoleedmonds9155]

I love these videos of yours. World Market has such a big selection of noodles and instant Asian things now, I never know what to try. Can you do a video of world market food 🙏🏼 Also the scraping sound you make to show the texture and crisp is the same sound my dogs would be making on me as they beg 🤣

[@Ava-os7fe]

Love your videos ❤

[@Matchalover808]

I love TJs during the Fall!! You reviewed some of my favorite items! I loveeee the Japanese fried rice and palak paneer 🤤

[@assalnia]

you should try crown kulfi as well it’s Indian ice cream, the chocolate flavor is the best

[@lhhdaydreaming]

New video yay I just started watching all ur vids and this is my first one dropping in the day I’m here

[@stephaniewarthen]

The Korean pancakes are often made with sweet rice flour, giving them a mochi style texture ... that may be why they taste a bit doughy or chewy.

[@usagimoon.x.o6256]

Everything looks awesome! Love your videos!

[@cherishliu7656]

Excited for the vid!!! ❤️

[@feedmeimei]

yay I hope you enjoy it!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@sambragg5227]

Love Your Videos Mei Mei Your Videos Are Awesome Keep Going

[@feedmeimei]

aw you're so sweet thank you!! appreciate you!

[@sambragg5227]

@@feedmeimei Your Welcome

[@allisonhicks3228]

TJ's frozen jasmine rice goes well with a lot of the Asian chicken meals. You just heat it up for 3 minutes and steams in the bag. It's so easy and yummy!

[@shaolingm3172]

The sweet Korean pancakes, use the toaster! Makes it perfect! Can also out scallion pancakes in toaster if u cut them!

[@radiikaprani]

Really loving the way you explain.The food looks delicious! love from india ❤🤗

[@sarahbernhard4939]

You tried a lot of my favorites but also encouraged me to pick up some new products! Loved the video ❤

[@ShayeWoodbury]

The Japanese fried rice is my absolute favorite!! I keep atleast three bags in my freezer at all times

[@jadelynn1703]

I was having a feeling of Deja vu at the beginning of the video, and then I remembered Cup Of TJ did a video like this the other day, and you commented on it saying you filmed the same type of video that day too lol. It's nice to see more than one person trying some of the same items. The squiggly noodles looked so fun to eat, also the teriyaki chicken seems like a great deal! Awesome video Meimei.

[@emlyntekulve]

I truly love to watch these video’s! It’s funny to see what other countries sell in food!❤️ Btw, I love ginger! It couldn’t be strong enough for me! In tea, noodles ❤️❤️

[@DiannaCavagnaro]

Could you please try Asian food from grocery outlet or from Safeway? We love your videos! For boba videos could you try little sweet and three polars bears?

[@Imdbddbshdjjvdhcjchbs]

I agree😊

[@jackiek4159]

Everything always looks amazingly delicious in these videos! 😍🤤💕

[@goosisters550]

Yes!! So excited! This is gonna be so helpful. Great way to start the weekend!

[@Trojan0304]

Thanks for reviews, tried Korean short ribs, will buy again. Foodie reviews on KZbin helpful

[@theresag.4188]

I looooove your shirt!!!! TURNING RED IS MY FAV ANIMATED MOVIE! ❤

[@zaraavetisian9867]

They also have fantastic Mac and cheese balls and also Korean rice cakes in spicy sauce

[@jewels4590]

Loved everything !! Great job luv from Seattle)

[@YouUsAndAI]

I like these types of videos!! :) Maybe Walmart and/or Target?

[@arcie3716]

Trader Joe’s is such an interesting place

[@jeannine.]

Great reviews. Much appreciated. Thank you!

[@ashlynbriggs2818]

You should do a video specifically trying all different kinds of instant/at home Ramen kits!!!!

[@nancyfasolino7607]

Those noodles look like the Taiwanese noodles that Costco used to have, at least in NY a few years ago I haven’t seen them recently we loved them! Great texture

[@joanaochoa4158]

You should try Mike Chen chili oil AND give your Review.

[@songfamily5911]

This makes me want asian food!

[@feedmeimei]

hope you get some soon!! 🥰🥰

[@AriyahSlays]

OMG first, and by the way, I love your videos❤❤

[@feedmeimei]

thank you so much!! appreciate you 🥰🥰

[@themaddiemads]

Pro tip! If you put a little paper towel between the ramen cup and the plate, it will keep it from sliding around! I do that too so I don't have to hold the hot ramen cup

[@xoxojacelyn]

I love the Korean pancakes in the air fryer

[@juliachng]

hi meimei!! I recommend tony's pizza, slice house especially!! they have amazinggg pizza and my fav is the purple potato slice on saturdays! rly recommend if you have time to visit one!! also heading to gym (gymnastics) rn so excited to watch later!!

[@jurierie]

Hottuck is right and your pronounciation is perfect!!! How about put some ice cream on it. It helps of lack of sweetness. Thanks for the video. It always helps a lot!!👍👍

[@Giaandkhloearemybestiesforever]

I have EXACTLY that 4 town shirt, AND OMG I LOVE TABOULCIE

[@ashleevang6502]

ZIndrew chili is dangerously addicting! I can't go back to any other chili oil!

[@HappyCat-ev6to]

Хвала вам за дивно дељење из ваше кухиње.Поздрав и леп дан✨🌺👍

[@cristinazo698]

KIMBAP…yes, grab it. Should be back in stock end of October.

[@Pochamochak]

part 2 with the trader joes kimbap !!

[@Ifancyyourmustache]

I always put the Korean pancake in the air fryer sooooo good❤

[@SgtRocko]

So happy I saw this tonight! We buy massive amounts of sliced noodles from the Asian markets because they are ADDICTIVE. Jjajangmyeon and Taiwan black vinegar/soy noodles especially. We got the TJs ones to try them... and yes, we had to add the Taiwanese black vinegar to make them perfect LOL (Kong Yen is our favourite brand). Wait... did you say... KIMBAP??? (married to a Korean, we eat it 3-4 times a week... thank G-d for the Sushi Bazooka LOL). Will be buying the Boba thanks to you - thank you! No matter what any of us do, making the tapioca bubbles, half of it just mushes up and sticks to the pan... a LOT of time and effort for so little payback. I'd like this kit, for sure. And the Karaage chicken is a must-try now! We get the Japanese fried rice and mix it with a bag of either the Thai Shrimp or the chicken for a meal. Very good and tasty - and high quality! Mix in the Teriyaki Chicken... meal COMPLETE! Anyhow... thank you for the video! You've answered a lot of questions we had!

[@foodwithmichel]

I want to try the chicken karaage 🤩

[@georgiede]

My TJs (in NYC) said the KimBap will be back in stock in November. They were not prepared for the viral status! I missed them the first time around. I’m obsessed with the chewy cinnamon filled pancakes. I was glad they came back.

[@lizlorenzsonn9999]

I know you’re there all the time so I’d love to see more Costco foods! They have a tri tip beef roast that you definitely need a probe food thermometer to prepare properly, but I thought it was tasty 😊 it wasn’t in the deli area, at my Costco it was by the fresh pastas and Sukhi’s curry chicken (which is also really tasty).

[@ginpj5330]

It will be good if you can write each item in your transcript, this make it easier if we want to play back on certain item you tasted.

[@Lucas-up9lj]

OMG I JUST GOT THE BOBA KIT!

[@orangec0rgi]

Eating one of you favs…. Lamb vindaloo while I watch this video for lunch!

[@poohbear2441]

Trader joe’s cookies and dessert stuff are too sweet for me.

[@momma5gs367]

Oh my... mouth drooling 🤤. The ube cookies are sooooo delish.❤love your videos and my kids can watch it with me. Thanks . ?? Did you ever do the boba straw give away??? Hi bird .hi mom .👋 from Arkansas

[@juliachng]

btw I was wondering where you get the jellies/crystal boba for your sago videos!! they look super good and I want to try them!!

[@maddylee264]

Fry the hotteok. When we were in Korea that is how street vendors would prepare it. How that helps 😊

[@mon6745]

Good job! 😊

[@wangshan6161]

Love your videos!!! Can you try things from 99 ranch? They have so many products!

[@carolmitchell4083]

Trader Joe's Kimbap is delicious! I will be picking up more tomorrow.

[@bailey1086]

another fun trick when holding a cup of hot noodles is placing it in a big mug! that way u have a handle 🫶🏽

[@Ryuuie]

Somehow I got jumpscared by ginger. XD Love this video! I saw your last two and it got me to try new stuff at Trader Joe’s!

[@angelsnyder6381]

I would love a trying every Asian food at Walmart video because my local one has been getting a lot of stuff.

Is it just me or does she look like Dollasticdreams? Like she looks so adorable!!

[@silverstar8886]

Love your reviews! My local Trader Joe’s had the kimbap and I bought a few packages. They are so good with the chili oil.

[@silverstar8886]

I forgot to say add chili crisp to the kkmbap too!
