WHAT TO EAT in HOKKAIDO! || [Hokkaido, Japan] Japanese Soup Curry, Lavender Cream, and Huge Gyoza!

[@808wanchans]

Poor Amanda😢. But so cute how she said it's ok as long as Felix was enjoying it. Awwww, true luv ❤

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was so depressing at the time 😥 but I'll make a full recovery! Mahalo! 🤙

[@spang9782]

3:50 Yes, that's the only thing about tours. Strict time limits so you cannot really enjoy the full experience of the destination. On one tour, we were taken to Harajuku and of course, you have to browse Takeshita Street. We got off the bus and was told we had 40 minutes. We only got halfway down the street and had to turn back. Managed to get a crepe and ate it while walking back (bad manners in Japan).

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Yes! We had no idea it was such a time crunch 😣

[@armandovalenzuelaiii]

I’m sorry Amanda wasn’t feeling well. I hope she bounced back quickly. Mahalo Foodie Ohana for putting yourselves and your health on the line for our enjoyment and opportunity to share your experiences. Get well soon and look forward to another Japanese Foodie Ohana adventure. ❤🤙🏽🇯🇵🌴

Mahalo Gail🙌🏼 You da best🤙🏼

[@paulachun4670]

This has been great travel log and we get to experience all the things you are doing! Love your honesty and of course Felix's facial expressions when he is enjoying the taste of the food. I thought your Vancouver trip was good but the Japan experiences are excellent.Hopefully Amanda feels better!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Paula! 🤙

[@georgeng4230]

Thank you guys for the video. Get well soon Amanda! Thank you Felix for your one man band work 🙏🏼

[@jamesorona9726]

The blue pond was super cool and eerie.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We agree! It was very surreal 🤙

[@RSER808]

Wow Felix...I never seen Gyoza that juicy or even that large before. Unreal. Get well soon Amanda... Appreciate the both of you and thank you again for sharing.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was one of the best gyoza I've ever had! 🤤 Mahalo Rick!

[@gailsiangco5599]

Beautiful Hokkaido !!! Mahalo for sharing ! I love Lavendar too ! Yummy Goodness ! Enjoy !!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Gail!

[@DonJ1973]

Oh damn. Sorry that Amanda got sick. Years ago when I was traveling to Chiangmai Thailand, I caught a horrible case of food poisoning and I was sick to my stomach for days. I hope it didn’t completely ruin this part of your trip. And good advice Felix on the tours. I don’t do them anymore 9 times out of 10, because they are so rushed with little to no free time.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Hopefully she recovers soon! Mahalo Don! 🤙

[@patwilliams9730]

Feel better Amanda! I get car sick so maybe that was it. Love how Felix takes care of you!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Pat! 🤙

[@Lily10130]

Hope Amanda will be ok soon. Busy but tour is always fun ,a lot of experiences . Soup curry chicken looks good 🍛🥘 🤤

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Love the curry soup! 🤤

[@toddmokiao1039]

Amanda and Felix, to bad your tour didn't give you more time to enjoy each place you folks stopped at. Japan is such a beautiful place with so much history. The food looks so good. So sorry that Amanda didn't feel to good, hopefully she recovered and enjoyed the rest of her vocation. Thank you guys for sharing your vocation. One day I will make it to Japan for a vocation, lol. Aloha

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for your concern! Hopefully you get to experience Japan soon! Mahalo Todd! 🤙

[@staytrue6232]

Interesting but stressful tightly scheduled field trip, Eerie blue pond like gatorade or antifreeze colour. Hope Amanda feels better and speedy recovery. Curry looks delish!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the concern! 🙏

[@paulafriedmanalohafrommaryland]

Aloha Amanda & Felix. I would have been upset on a rushed tour like that, it reminds me of how the excursions are on cruise ships. I wouldn't be surprised if the rushing tour and trying to eat foods quickly and being on a bus contributed to Amanda not feeling well. I'm really sorry that you had to experience this, but hopefully the rest of your vacation was at an easier pace. Otherwise, I'm enjoying watching your Japan videos.

[@Trojan2024]

Thanks for the tour. Really enjoyed it.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Andrew! 🤙

[@123cetaphil]

Oh no! Amanda, I hope you recovered quickly and that it was nothing serious!!! Was the lavender ice cream too perfumey? Gorgeous sites! Love that blue lake and lavender farm. Cant wait to see what omiyage you got At Hokkaido!!! Felix, so proudnof you! You can hold your own and vlog even solo!! Fun adventure! Stay safe!! Amanda, feel better soon!!!💕

[@AmandaFelixEats]

I'll make a full recovery soon! Mahalo! 🙏🤙

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Hopefully you'll be able to go soon!

[@klaudinegarcia8932]

Get well soon Amanda! 💕

[@davidsiu1364]

Amanda, get well soon. It's not fun to get sick when you are on vacation. I had that happened when we were traveling from Prague, Czech Republic to Vienna, Austria during the past New Year holidays. Felix, you definitely can kau kau!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo David! 🤙

[@judywang4547]

Felix cracks me up! So funny. Too bad Amanda got sick 🙁

😅 she ended up recovering later! 👍

[@titasmom678]

Aw..hope Amanda felt better the next day. Did you bring her anything when you went back to the hote? Funny how Hokkaido seems to be famous for a lot of stuff, milk, ice cream, seafood. You probably could spend a week there and still want to try more things. Hate those bus tour things. You never have enough time to explore. But I guess it's a good way to see places and go back on your own if you really like the place. Love how you give us a glimpse as to where you will be going next.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

She wasn't well enough to eat or drink anything that night 😣 stay tuned for the next episode! Mahalo for joining us on this one! 🤙

[@Will-jm2cc]

Hope Amanda’s feeling better!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the concern! 🙏

[@JodyY808]

So sorry Amanda missed out on the ʻono-looking gyōza and karaage. Hope she was able to recover quickly. Iʻve traveled all over Japan, but only on two tours - one with my university to the Kansai region, and one local "Hato Bus Tour" when a Japanese classmate asked if some of us Americans wanted to see Tōkyo, where we lived. We were expecting him to take us around, but he booked us on the bus tour for Japanese people visiting Tōkyo, and it was a waste of money because we could have gone to all those places on our own, on our own time, as you usually do. And the tour guide only spoke Japanese, so most of my friends couldnʻt understand her. I remember the 20-minute stops to visit famous sites, and a 10-minute break to go to the restrooms (for about 60 people on the bus). Japanese tourists are used to these quick, rushed tours without much substance when they come to Hawaiʻi because they do it all the time in Japan. I know some Japanese people who couldnʻt even remember which islands they visited. The only kind of tour in Japan I would recommend for people who are used to traveling on their own is a specialty tour like picking (and cooking and eating) mushrooms or fruit in the areas where they are known for growing. Oh, and I remember seeing Shirogane Ike in winter (when it was white) and getting lots of photos of the swans that come there.😋

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Sounds like any tour would be a bad idea 😣 Mahalo for sharing your experience! 🤙

[@patrickchilds9620]

Feel for Amanda. Structured bus tours are the worst. We would rather freelance than do that cattle rides that make you carsick, stuffed or hungry until you are sick depending on the style, and being ruined by early afternoon. Pick your destination, find the best manner to get there. We have used city busses, trains (great), light rail, cabs, shared cabs which has worked out surprisingly well water cabs (great) Sydney and Victoria ,or walked (often the worst option in cities like Seattle, LA, NY, SF).

[@mechcam796]

Yeah bus tours are a no go. Lol. Trying to get around on your own is an adventure itself.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was our first and quite possibly our last 😆 lol We usually opt to go on our own but this would've been too hard (and expensive) on our own so at least we saved money and time by doing the tour😅

[@rickiwamoto8099]

Also Hope You Feel better later On.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Rick! 🤙

[@keithfreitas2983]

Is there another name for large goyza like Gau Gee is the big version on fried won ton? Anyway those look good. I could eat at least 6 myself.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Not too sure😆

[@andynelson952]

Felix what made you happier at the time, the melon bread or the beer? Hope you feel better soon Amanda.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

The beer! 😬

[@uniotter2662]

I'm sorry Amanda got sick. ❤‍🩹 That happened to me when I was in Australia and visiting a Mauritius restaurant, and I couldn't enjoy the food very much at all, which was a shame (because how often do you eat Mauritius food??). Also, I never take tours anymore because they're always too rushed for me. It's great having someone else driving, but not worth it for me because I like to take my time and see places in depth. Still, sometimes it's necessary, but thanks for letting us know that particular shuttle bus wasn't worth it! Finally, I'm so craving gyoza and fried chicken, but I'm not going to try to eat any in Hawaii because I know it won't be as amazing as what I saw you eat in Japan! *LOL* 😆

[@ItsNatural]

Hope u feel better soon

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@debbiewoo2525]

I pray Amanda is feeling much better and thank you Felix for continuing this video.... I am craving some of that jumbo gyoza 😝

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Those gyoza were amazing! 🤤

[@markvader8083]

Feel sorry for Amanda(hope she feels better). I personally hate going on tours, everything is rush, rush, no time to soak it all in. For Japan, I would rather go with people who can speak & read the language, then maybe rent a car. In the US, I will always rent a car(rather than going on a tour). This way, you can take your time & really enjoy the sights. One more thing, Felix cracks me up with his "Here's the farm, seeya at the next stop". Sooo Funny!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for your concern mark! 🤙

[@richardbarba2736]

Can you guys do a travel vlog on Aogashima

[@AmandaFelixEats]

👍

[@keithfreitas2983]

I guess they would do it if it's on their itinerary....

[@richardbarba2736]

@Keith Freitas looking forward to it!

[@captaingeo9741]

Do you have any merch for sale yet? Would love to buy some!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Not at the moment! But hopefully soon! 👍

[@bcgreen1966]

👍👍👍👍

[@AmandaFelixEats]

🤙

[@user-vs2cd3jk3i]

I hate tours where they rush you.. you can’t enjoy yourself always afraid the bus is going to leave you . And once you drive forever you have 10-15 minutes to sightsee.. next time hire a private driver to take you around to the sights. I hope Amanda is feeling much better. Take care and be safe

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Nancy! 🤙

[@score2high]

I hope the two of you weren't close to the epicenter of that earthquake and are safe. I'm curious, Felix said andagi and Amanda corrected saying that they called it a donut. Do they make andagi outside of Okinawa? I hope you're feeling much better now Amanda!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We felt the earth quake but it was short 🙏 it looked like an andagi but the menu said donut 👍

[@graceishikawa8736]

Hope you did not pay a lot for the speed round trip. All the food looked great.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

The tour price wasn't too bad thankfully 👍

[@jeannewalling4593]

I thought Japan people do not walk and eat.

[@tsn_life8]

Hopefully Amanda’s nausea was short lived😢

[@davidobrien283]

Hey Felix my brother you think Amanda might be pregnant? That would explain the nausea

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It ended up being food poisoning 😣

[@veo16]

You guys got tricked. This tour might be good in season, but they took your money and brought you to still-blooming and post-bloom spots. Waste of a day sadly 😅
