"a little white pepper" ...continues to shake for another 5 seconds lol

Lol

A little for him means "A Lot"

He adds pepper like I do .. I say I'm heavy handed with the pepper 🌶️ .. my family says I have a pepper problem .. lol

for a second ther, i thought he mistook salt for white peppuh

[@kspade1788]

It has the word “pepper” in it. What did u expect lol

houston, in my biased opinion, is without a doubt the best food city in texas and a top 4 food city in the country... thanks mikey for highlighting some of houston's greatest hidden gems

I really admire your control and calmness when the chilli oil fell. If I were in your shoes and that happened to me, boy that park bench probably would have flipped over. That's how much I value my chilli oil. How can you possibly enjoy eating a delicious dumpling and noodles without the chilli oil? Man! That's just not right.

[@lizj7217]

When Mikey's hot oil blew away - i felt the earth stop

[@SandraNelson063]

The sky fell!

[@tommynguyen6843]

Didn’t he dump it all in the noodle? Before dropping the container?

[@lizj7217]

Tommy Nguyen it is true after he dunked the dumplings in it he did give it to his noodles- but when the wind blew the leftover cup into him he did say it was a moment of silence for the hot oil. No drop should be wasted

[@mustwereallydothis]

Wish I hadn't read this before watching. I was so stressed watching him eat on that car hood it couldn't have been healthy. All those nice chili bits... gone in the blink of an eye. Such a shame

[@Omega65713]

Hate the wind. I cannot eat like that.

Seeing this guy eat delicious food, cures my depression for atleast an hour.. thank you :>

[@HellenShort]

Mike, you should do what some of the mukbangers do and buy yourself a steering wheel tray so that you can sit inside your car and eat your food! Handy for windy days and also for winter!

I'm starting to realize not everyone used to entertain themselves as a child playing with crayfish in the local creek. I guess that was a good experience. Maybe not so much for the crayfish.

[@Hermit.Crabbe]

Oh man! Nothing feels better than finding a big ol crayfish

[@annaknepper9478]

I played with them as a child also. Taught my kids to and now have my grand babies doing it also. We all love eating them as well lol.

We used to catch a few and then let them have a crawfish race back down to the water and bet on different ones being faster :)

Thank you! Vietnamese food is the best! I know there are some upscale places in Houston too. I’d love to see them as well. Those shrimp dumplings and the chow fun noodles looked good also.

[@brittanyle2187]

i'm pretty sure the "raw meat" that was on the side of the phở was actually bê thui which is smoked veal!! that's supposed be eaten with that sauce they gave you not put in the phở! though i know it can easily be mixed up with actual thit tai which is can be raw on the side!

[@marknguyen7230]

It’s actually Tai Be not Be Thui.

[@JohnZeroSignal]

Nice!

[@kha9867]

Yup. Noticed that. That's roasted (lightly) veal. Not supposed to drop in the hot broth :-)

[@chauvo5552]

It says tái bê on the menu bruh not bê thui. You can eat it raw or drop in soup doesnt matter lmao

[@rainyrainygoaway]

I totally agree with the Chinese people best compliment to dessert is “it’s not too sweet”. Just 2days ago, my husband brought home a tart saying that his client insisted that I try it. After I tasted it; I told him “hmm I like it, it’s not too sweet.” He replied “yeah that’s what my client commented as well “your wife gotten try this! It’s not too sweet!” (Indicating that it’s good). After which husband actually said “i don’t really like it, I think it’s too sweet.” 🤣🤣🤣 There you go; three prefect examples right there.

[@Jzwiz]

Chili seeds actually contain no heat, the membrane around them does. The seeds themselves are usually just a bitter taste but the membrane dries onto them making them “hot” when in reality they arent

[@tjshan]

You will never see mike actually eating a chilli, the camera always breaks away to something else

[@Jzwiz]

@@tjshan seen plenty where i watch him bite one with the camera never moving. some of his older asia videos has that a lot and i think one where someone in the south was smoking them

[@geegeeandlulu]

Just eaten a homemade open grilled chicken sandwich on garlic grilled sour dough bread with homemade onion jam with grilled camembert and cranberry jelly and rocket lettuce with aioli. Sooooo good!!! Great watching this eating that.

[@santa5173]

I love some of the spots you find while in Houston. Some of the locations I recognize but never knew these gems were hidden there. If you like smaller spots, I would recommend Pho Tan Mai

[@brittanywright7126]

Mikey u can eat the claws of the big crawfish too. Crack it open

[@cleoandbuffy]

Its even better than the heads imo... has almost the sweetness of crab with the spice of the boil :)

[@PeteyPistolDee03]

The claws are so good and sweet. Makes up for the size for sure!

[@Darth.Fluffy]

I was wondering about that

[@kristinayofe8024]

Agreed I just wanted to shout you’re wasting the best part!!! I love the claws on them!

Sometimes, a cold crawfish is way tastier than a hot one. And, why did you ignore claws?

[@rodw4057]

I love how he retained his Chinese language and being able to read Chinese. Its rare for people who have been in the US for a long period of time tend to lose a lot of the language and reading abilities. I think it helps him that his parents dont speak English, so he had to keep us with his language. Good for you, Mike!!

[@JimiSunsets]

Notifications on and I’m ready to eat! Love this Mike!

[@dustinvanhoose6186]

Fun fact: Contrary to popular belief the seeds of hot peppers actually don't contain capsaicin, the compound that makes peppers spicy. With that being said the reason why the seeds are usually hot are because they're primarily attached and to the placenta/pith which is one the hottest parts of the pepper thus allowing the seeds to come in contact with the heat making them "hot".

[@VashVenture]

Awesome video as always! How hard would it be to get your chili oils in sauce packets?! Would love to take it everywhere but I don't want to have to take the whole jar.

Usually there is, but it is so hard to get to that you do so much damage to the meat that it's not worth it. 😊

youd be there for hours

[@tekkenfan01]

If the claws are big enough then you can eat it but like said it’s not worth it for every one because it’s a lot of work. It’s not like crab and lobster claws. Mike said the same in another crawfish video. The one he showed as well.

[@goblinphreak2132]

Jalapeno is my favorite. Habanero is actually spicier Scoville wise than Jalapeno.... so saying "if you can't handle Habanero don't get this" kinda doesn't make sense. I absolutely love Jalapeno seeds and all. I probably can't handle Habanero. Also chewy meat is overcooked meat. Meat should never be chewy. That means its "tough" and not good. Good meat falls apart aka you can pull it apart with chopstix without the need for fork/knife. Finally found a legit asian place near me. And everything is authentic chinese food. Not sure if north/south or whatever, but they are amazing. And they only do sit in or carry out, no delivery. And its so good. I had some chicken chow fun and the noodles were so chewy and yummy. The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. The bean sprouts and scalions. It was just epic. It was so good I couldn't stop eating. I can't wait to try some more things from them.
