Everything looks great, but I just want that little self-turning skewer grill.

[@melindahudson4923]

Ok😊

[@BatmanHaze]

Been watching for a long time but to be honest the only reason I watch now is to look at the comments 😂 I think the longer someone streams the more direct/brutal their comment section is

[@BoyAditya]

7:38 "fresh ushabi" 😂

[@chiisaichi]

The “small ikura” is tobiko. Flying fish row. Very common.

[@Karina-er7mx]

You’re In Melbourne!, welcome!! ❤

[@Silvermouse27]

I live in Melbourne, in fact the bbq place is near my house, and yet I didn’t know these places existed!!! Must try!

[@Deannaaa86]

Wait till you try Aotearoas (NZ) kina (uni) and the paua (abalone) fried in butter , onions and topped with cream (creamed paua) 😋

[@ladygreer9323]

Hey Mike.. Happy Saturday! Australia was showing off with the buffet. Have a great day. Do Enjoy!! 🐞🤗😋

[@Taecoconut]

Yeah Australian here.. love sea urchin

[@Sassyglbeauty]

10:24 Ariel’s office chair. Lmfao. It is a beautiful shell! I’m glad Mike has trained his stomach so well, so we can watch him enjoy such large quantities of food!

[@nikip9161]

That remark made me lol too 😊

[@georgiegan]

7:15 That is $138AUD (~$90USD) for the 1 bowl of sea urchin rice.

[@TheBigburcie]

For once in your life, it's worth it for many people. Definitely not a weekly brunch item.

[@hoppa069]

NOWAY!!! you were in my suburb of Glen Waverley, this is soo coooool!!!

[@tinateresa]

I know right! and Burwood One is right by our doorstep.

[@Tarere2K]

In NZ we call it Kina and we loooove it😊

[@LadieMaverick]

And that will be $1000 😅 I miss when you put prices I know you do on some but like these restaurants you go too where you get various things from there that be dope.

[@BarbaraJohnson-vb7pp]

Exquisite!!!

[@wailee6621]

Wow ! Meal for Kings 😊

[@user-ko9kd8dt2n]

15:10 BBQ POWER 😂🎉

[@caylei9967]

If sea urchin is invasive why is it so expensive most places 😭

[@waynegriffin198]

Glen Waverley (sea urchin) is an Asian food heaven! The buffet is a 10 minute drive away. When you come to Melbourne, a souvlaki is what many have after a big night out. That example is what most look like. I am a lamb souvlaki all day. Great food in every suburb of Melbourne.

[@Chellekathryn]

mike, start a challenge where you never say the world 'ooh-ma-mee' when describing food

[@corriecortner6095]

Right lol

[@tommystix87]

Challenge impossible.

[@wl5149]

Great to see Mike enjoying Melbourne food scene

[@MrBlessed70]

Some of the best seafood in the world in Australia and Melbourne has some of the best restaurants=outstanding place to eat!!!

[@theav8tiontech]

I wanna know what he did cause I wanna like sushi but still don’t 😢😢😢

[@TheSeaCalls69]

Yeah, and?

[@Tarere2K]

​@@TheSeaCalls69yeah and he has come a long way from not liking it to loving it Ok??

[@vynguyen6376]

i want to know how he overcame it cuz i still can’t eat raw fish

[@lilyignacio4862]

Me too. I don’t eat raw fish.

[@tammyosborn6199]

My great grandpa used to eat garden fresh tomatoes with fresh cream and sugar.

[@carf4290]

I noticed Mike struggling with the letter “u”. Ikura = Ikora, tempura = tempora. Kudos for saying those Japanese words wrongly but with high confidence

[@Fisumestari]

YEET

[@dannyn6036]

It’s his accent I think. I’m also Asian and I struggled with that too. Got bullied so hard back then I was even considering offing myself.

doesnt matter 😂

[@derekbroestler7687]

As a person from the southeastern US I 100% respect to concept of "We have this invasive species wrecking our ecosystem, what do we do about it?" being answered with "Let's make 'em tasty AF..".

[@Neojhun]

You don't even have to do much with Sea Urchins from middle of no where south eastern Aus. They just taste soo amazing when you do as little to preparation as possible. That's the crazy thing about this pest.

[@derekbroestler7687]

@@Neojhun I've had them before but those are flown in and while delicious I cant even imagine how good they are fresh... That being said, I'm not wishing for them to come here because they are invasive to our area.

[@MrVovansim]

​@@NeojhunI've literally never had it any way other than just raw. Wonder what heat treatment does to it.

[@priscillarichards6716]

You need to try New Zealand sea urchin which we call them kina. The kina taste is way different then all over the world.

[@SmallGuy845]

Man, Melbourne has fresh oosabi 7:38. Not even Japan has that.

[@ausgoth]

i always see that BBQ place whenever im in burwood and ive always been interested in trying it, now i know whats in there, just makes me wanna go more!

[@Robert-uq5ew]

The bbq place was ridiculous. Wow!

[@Jma311]

Umami umami melt like butter

[@conspiracionesy]

Tasmania wow thats going to be interesting to see 👌🏻

[@ResinAlchemist2024]

I think his "Wagyu"of the sea comment was trying to compare the buttery taste and the way Wagyu dissolves on your tongue to Uni's texture. However I can't stand Uni so I could be totally wrong

[@paulmac1472]

Epic. But also not sure Mike actually knows what umami is…..

[@AL-ws5yi]

I love sea urchin!

[@c-LAW]

It would be a dream come true if I could ever eat at a place like this. Sea urchin is my #1 fav.

[@louiseleonard1992]

Oh my goodness you are in my hometown welcome to Australia

[@jensumner588]

Any plans for Auckland NZ?

[@Angelicwings1]

Sydney is good for food but I do have to say, even without being there, Melbourne is the food capital of Australia

[@benita56]

Welcome to Melbourne! Love your channel

[@jaybuckODT]

I just moved to Sydney! Now I gotta visit Melbs for that BBQ 🤤

[@georgepapatheofilou6118]

I guess Melbourne VIC is due for another visit. Been awhile. As an aside I've no idea Hurr Chen isn't a blob of gluttony. Oh heck I love his visits to Japan 7/11 . Enough of a confession. He ain't a psychologist

[@pajzibntabvwj6167]

Does anyone count how many times Mike says "sweet"? LoL!

[@Angelicwings1]

Well seafood is both salty and sweet. There isn’t a lot more you can use to describe it

[@kiowaoh-58DIR]

Thank you. May I have another. Great job, Mike....

[@genslug]

so jelly. great job

[@blunttz6445]

That's definitely a place to goto if you love seafood especially raw

[@kittx]

After watching you for so long, being able to see you appreciate the food in my city is so so great!!

[@deruje6289]

idk why but the face when eating at 18:08 makes me laugh hahaha

[@lordalexander74]

+1 place to visit when I'm in Australia early 2026

[@dan7543]

Am I the only one who remember the days that Mike didn't like sushi and sashimi and never tried it befor

[@irena-talita]

Delicious ❤❤

[@genewilder]

Decided to do a drinking game. Every time he says creamy or umami, take a shot. It's only 4:30 mins in, and i need a new bottle.

[@tommystix87]

How's the hangover?

[@kgamax]

total of the bill?

[@rosiegoodall8248]

Melanie Martinez playing in a BBQ buffet slay

[@SmallGuy845]

For some reason when Mike holds his hands open I get a strange craving for sausages.

[@mbriley5760]

I like him, I do but after watching him for YEARS, I wish he would study a thesaurus to give us different descriptions for the foods/drinks.

[@stuartwatson8305]

Melbourne, nothing better :)

[@TheCJtheCregg]

It’s so funny because for year I have no idea what ‘sea urchin’ or ‘uni’ were. Until I learnt they were KINA!

[@pammcmillan8842]

😊

[@altapp702]

How much did the uni meal cost?

[@Darby0642]

Australia is ridiculously expensive, he is eating very high quality food in a large volume, I would be surprised if he didn’t spend under $1,000 on the meal.

[@nonfatalfonso]

uni keeping mike big as hell

[@cassidychaplin272]

If we are going by Jason Mamoa Aquaman, he reguraly came to the surface for beer.

[@DragonOrbProductions]

remember when mike said he didnt liked uni, that it tasted like the sea vomited on his mouth?

[@rodw4057]

At 17:55, he didn't describe the flavor. "Melts in your mouth pure flavor." What kind of flavor? Spicy, salty, sour or what? What makes it more convincing is how he says it with a flair for the dramatic which still really doesn't help.

[@charsk00ter]

When in doubt, umami.

[@FreddyJong-co6cb]

Bonza living the dream😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@laoma4131]

I look forward to the Sydney episodes so I know where to eat 😀. I don’t think I go to the right places even being a local.

[@nelsonhu3926]

If sea urchins are a pest in Australia then why do they charge an arm and a leg

[@iamnotmental]

well i had a look at their menu and they charge $20 AUD for a "kids mac n cheese" the portion of course is kids size and looks like half (if even that) a box of kraft mac n cheese from Woolworths wich is worth $3.50 AUD so basically: $1.75 worth of mac n cheese a thumb size fried rice wrapped in a tiny sheet of seaweed 1 strawberry, 4 grapes, and a single thin slice of an orange ...all for $20. maybe somewhere in there you have your answer

[@maeve4686]

The first time I had or even seen an abalone, was with a dive group. I was handed the muscle & told to pound it into steaks...they got back & I said I wasn't successful. That the mallet kept bouncing off. Nope, I wasn't told to slice it thin first...😅

[@jeremychoo934]

Santa Barbara in the US has great uni too.

[@karlmaire]

Dude! You need to pop over to NZ some time! Looks like you'd enjoy the kina here

[@nicholastison4734]

Come to South Africa my man! So much different food cultures and our own unique stuff too ofc.. Ive been commenting for years for you to come try South Africa!

[@dianepusateri5841]

He's gonna be crapping yellow

[@liulingling88]

I was going to say, is it ok to eat all that sea urchin? Seems like it would decimate the population. And then you said they're invasive and I was like, "ah well then eat away." Ahaha.

[@ajthehandle9126]

So wat is uni ? Is he overhyping ?

[@Kerosene.Dreams]

The should have named The Roe, Fertility.

[@RathanaOfficial-168]

❤❤❤

[@Tru2thablu]

Ummm New Zealand eat a lot of sea urchin but ours are native and are called Kina 😍😍 we love it straight from the ocean still in the shell

[@ReginaldAnteel]

You must try Hataka Gensuke in Melbourne!

[@Neojhun]

Yes good suggestion.

[@CharlieHayward-ev9rb]

Pls try captain kaimoana when you come to auckland bro!

Mike always making things look good🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sea urchin reminds me of Surfs Up lol

[@elnegra6542]

that lamb skewer was a bit under done in my opinion

Whats y'alls beef with UMAMI 🤨

What does sea urchin taste like?

Mikey needs to upload everyday!!!!

[@wendywalsh-pardey9439]

Please come back Mickey, I've foodied vicariously through you for many years. Australia has much food to offer.

[@pfx2259]

It’s not that good. Rice texture and tastes were off, ambient a bit cheap and eclectic for the price, but great service.

[@FitWanderEats]

Haha didn't even know this place is right next door to my gym I go to... Next time train and then uni

[@dealopes3029]

Manda pra mim 😅😅😅

[@nanetteyauger5163]

I think Mike I does an amazing job of descibing the food!!!! The only thing i miss is his visiting down to earth common people food but I am usually hungry by the time he explains what he is eating.

[@appolop8273]

He's still standing there. lol

[@RHD_327]

Mike the Shirt store links appear to be broken 👨‍🔧

[@aliowl]

Looks great, I worry for you coming to New Zealand, the food is awful, it really is bland. My husband is Malaysian Chinese and the best food is at our house. Bao & Noodle at Lorne Street Akl, for Hand cut DanDan noodles, best flavour out of a few we've tried. Huami at sky city is great. I wish you luck here.
