  • Meeting Mike Chen from Strictly Dumpling for the first time and trying out some of his hawker and restaurant food recommendations in Singapore! I was invited to the Michelin Award Ceremony and surprised to meet one of my favorite UA-camrs. I was fan-boying like crazy and I know that is difficult to watch but I did try some of his recommendations. Enjoy!
    Food I Tried:
    1. Da Xi - Dumplings, Beef Noodles, Lurofan (Taiwanese fusion)
    2. Xiang Jian Soya Sauce Chicken - Hongkong Style Wantons (Michelin bib gourmand)
    3. Zi Jing Cheng Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice - Chicken Rice (Michelin Guide)
    4. Avocado Smoothie at Mr Avocado

    holy crap, I know strictly dumpling has been someone you've always admired since during the 2020 skits (I remember many videos of you watching his videos during MCO). This must've been so exciting for you!! But I think to a lot of people (like to me!), _you_ are our version of Mike 💛
    Avocado shake looks amazing! reminds me of the Vietnamese "sinh to bo". Thanks for showing us all these places!!

    Ghib congrats!!! I recalled you said Mike Chen is your idol and your favourite youtuber a long time ago when I watched your video. Really happy for you to finally meet him in person.
    You should rename your title to "I MET MY IDOL and tried some of his food recommendations!"

    Da Xi is such an underrated restaurant chain. I was so happy they opened one in Jurong Point but they closed down only after a few months due to underwhelming response from the crowd. I think it's because their menu is small but man their food is good. Please show them some support so they dont pull out of Singapore entirely!

  • @etherdog
    @etherdog 4 місяці тому +1

    If I may offer some advice when tasting and describing food, start with the blandest items and work up to the spicier (or stronger tasting) because it is very difficult to reset your palate after strong flavors. You might have actually liked the dumpling soup if you had started with it. Same goes for tasting beer and wine, too.
