ok short story! So while in college in Kirksville Misery there was a KFC buffet near our college campus and we used to go on sundays after saving up for a week. We were all super poor college kids and my buddy used to sneak fried chicken out from the buffet to eat in the dorms. The method he used to sneak the FRIED chicken out was...put it down his pants....I know, yes I also asked him why he did that cause that's so gross. His response, I just washed my underwear.
I want to learn to love myself like how Mike does. He brings himself to dates, eating buffet, drinking boba, playing arcade. He's such a positive inspiration.
This is the first time I ever heard him says the food is bad. He didn't even say that for the bitter tea he had in Malaysia. If Mike says the food is bad, it's really really bad. Like serious bad 🙂
Bitter tea is not a food though lol, and seriously he looks like a first time eating KFC that expecting a crispy fried on original :3 it was the first time I see food vlogger that complaint and received response from people that he doesn't know the food where he gonna eat like the original recipe of kfc
ribeye thin strip is actually really easy to over or under cook. He was lucky it came out as medium. I have to often over cooked mine into medium by leaving it on the grill for 10 seconds to long as it cooks fast
@@ryanghosh3205 Dutch here, but raised on indian food (dad lived there for a few years and fell in love with the food) so yea chicken curry which a side of palak paneer is a weekly dish :P
Last time i was in japan, my wife lost maybe $30 USD on the games and one of the Japanese guys ended up winning about 2 games after my wife gave up and gave toy to my wife. :) Love Japan, everyone there is so friendly.
One of the things that I was not expecting but was one of my favorite food things in Japan, was just how good the custards were or really anything with eggs. Just mind blowing how even the little flans from 7-eleven were so much better than anything I could get stateside. Mind blowingly good eggs.
The original recipe is NOT crispy; the Extra Crispy IS. WTH is Mikey thinking? Plus I only order the 10 piece for $10 dark meat. I can't stand the breast meat; too dry under that heat lamp.
Original recipe has always been like this.. at least in Australia and Asia. In Australia we get a special edition "Hot n Spicy" variety once a year which is covered in super crispy batter and extra spice. This is the good stuff!
Mikey: Is this good? Waiter: no it sucks Mikey: oh. Is this good? Waiter: no it sucks too Mikey: ... So what's good here? Waiter: everything sucks Mikey: ...
I think mike hasn't been in kfc before lol even here in phils that's how the chicken of KFC looks like in original recipe. I'm surprised that he's surprised lol
Same here in Indonesia, the "soggy" one is Original and the other is crispy. And, all chicken fast food chain in here must serve rice or you'll lose the customers (KFC, McD).
There's no "Google employee" that checks for the working hours of places and checks them as closed/open, it's the users that do that. I was a "Local Guide" myself, where I'd review places and report any mistake I could see. Problem is, not everything is always visible to everybody. If the mall is closed, chances are the KFC is too. Don't trust Google *Maps* when it comes to rarely updated places (like restaurants).
13:55 "It's like staring into my dad's eyes when he's watching Forrest Gump. It's dry" Felt bad for Mike's experience but got a good laugh at his disappointment for the dry chicken from this comment 😅
Been eating KFC since 1978 and they call that crust they’re serving the “original” There’s also a crunchy version they offer as an alternative looking for a crunchy version. I still prefer the original. But lately KFC been serving saltier chicken.
No, the original KFC chicken was slightly crispy, cooked to a nearly walnut brown, and bones frequently broke while eating it. After the 70s, only once did I come across a duplicate of this type of chicken. It was from KFC and was original recipe that had been overcooked by several minutes. It was delicious, if not particularly crunchy.
When I was in Japan (May 2019), I took a Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka just to have the KFC buffet there (this was before the one in Grandberry Park opened, otherwise I would have just gone there) No wait, was seated right away and there was mashed potato and gravy! So I thought that one was pretty good.
@@roshill2010 Seriously 😂😂 im dating a korean and before the pandemic when we would visit my grandma, she would just love for him to come and eat 😂 I think the 3 stomach thing is true...and im jealous lol
I lived in Japan for three years and didn't get the chance to go to some of these great places. Seeing your videos brings back the awesome food in Japan.
Travelled to Tokyo in 1/2020, best 10 days ever! Majority of Japanese were super friendly and nice, loved it there and I will visit Japan again and again!
I've never seen anyone that was disappointed at an all you can eat buffet before, especially a KFC one... He was so excited to leave and eat some juicy food
@@keonxd8918 not really, here in Peru KFC is awesome, loved it ever since I was a kid for how crunchy and juicy it is, and Popeyes is meh. I was shocked when I tried KFC in Miami. Honestly, night and day difference :/.
Must be different in the States, because the lava sauce in the Taco Bell in Glasgow is pathetic. Even my mate who is the biggest spice wimp you'll ever meet can practically drink it.
Original recipe is not crispy nor has it ever been, it's not supposed to be. That's the way it is made by a lot of people here in the south, we do like crispy but the original recipe is more comfort food and brings back memories of home. But the crispy is crispy and I have always gotten it crispy with a few exceptions and that is when it has sat out for a while. It is a little upsetting that Mikey didn't know about original recipe.
Y’all know in an alternate universe a Japanese version of mike was making this video at a KFC in the US lamenting how greasy and crispy the chicken is and wishing it was healthy like back home
The dry chicken may be a cause of rapid thaw. They instead of thaw it out normally over a few days in the refrigerator. They thawed it out less then a day. Which means that some chicken cooked semi frozen. Which makes the chicken and any meat tough and dry.
This is the most UA-camy I've ever seen Mike. By that I mean, a lot of UA-camrs just give hot takes, are mean, and, in between, trying to make cute faces. Usually he's way more chill. I guess that train ride and wait really bothered him.
That original recipe at KFC in the 1970s was never made crispy or extra crispy. As a little kid I loved that soft steamed skin! You’re so lucky to have a buffet. I did make it to the regular KFC in Korea, but the only thing there that bothered me was the cars parked backwards😁
I used to work at KFC. The Original is cooked in sort of a pressure oil fryer. It's like it's steamed and fried at the same time. I always hated how soggy it was, but now I prefer it over the Crispy any time
I honestly have loved & still love your videos to this day Mikey! I'm a CBC (Canadian born Chinese) as well as a chef. Well more like a chef in the making 😂 and you inspire me so much more to cook (and eat of course). I loved your videos from Hong Kong, and had traveled to some of the places that you went to/recommended! 😊 haha I hope you see this 🙈 Love from you're Snow Mexican neighbours up north 😊🇨🇦
Of all your videos of you over the years, I love the ones in Japan the most. You appear the most happy in them and I not only mean with the food but overall :)! I hope you have the chance to spend a longer time there
Dry chicken from KFC...*gasp* I never woulda thunk! 90% of the times I've ever had KFC, its dry. White meat is like chewing clumps of saw dust super glued together while dark meat is as greasy as biting into a chunk of shortening. It didn't help that the KFC that use to be near me took the extra step to really screw things up.
My luck has been 50/50 with KFC here in Canada - Churches Chicken is far better. But when I was living in Chengdu, China, the KFC there was pretty darn good. Only ate there a couple of times since Sichuan food is so, so good. But, believe it or not, the best chicken I had in China was at the McDonalds near our school; their spicy chicken sandwich was incredibly good!
The KFCs in the washington, DC area are just like that too. all dry as hell with soggy skin. Someone pointed out to me that the reason the skin isnt crispy is because KFC oven baked their fried chicken instead of frying. thats why they now have a "crispy" version.
ok short story! So while in college in Kirksville Misery there was a KFC buffet near our college campus and we used to go on sundays after saving up for a week.

Haha you probably meant Missouri but Misery is a pretty ironic mistake to make in this context given your story about poor college kids
I'm convinced Mikey has a vault full of food videos he can summon anytime he wishes.
Probably days worth of videos stored
Mikey Chen stay ready. He has videos on retainer.
Also I think his schedule was about 3 or 4 months after he goes he uploads
I think so🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
I agree
I want to learn to love myself like how Mike does. He brings himself to dates, eating buffet, drinking boba, playing arcade. He's such a positive inspiration.
Don't forget his love of karaoke!

Yeah, but he's also a bit of a wet dish rag. Good for him though!
This is the first time I ever heard him says the food is bad. He didn't even say that for the bitter tea he had in Malaysia. If Mike says the food is bad, it's really really bad. Like serious bad 🙂
I mean hes heating kfc
Gaming with Phill no it’s the Kentucky fried chicken that everyone knows he said it a few times through out the video
@Gaming with Phill It's Japan, not South Korea.
i mean those chicken pieces look really sad i can second guess how they’re gonna taste like. i actually feel sorry for mike :/
Bitter tea is not a food though lol, and seriously he looks like a first time eating KFC that expecting a crispy fried on original :3 it was the first time I see food vlogger that complaint and received response from people that he doesn't know the food where he gonna eat like the original recipe of kfc

I don't think I've ever had a crispy piece of original recipe...
That’s why they make extra crispy lol
Original recipe isn’t crispy even straight from the fryer.
that's what I was thinking lol original recipe isn't crispy
Spicy is the way to go 😔✋🏻
Ex kfc employee here, no its not crispy straight from the fryer but the coating stays intact, only the hot and spicy chicken is crispy
Me: “That steak looks delicious”
Mike: “it’s overcooked”
Me: “that steak is disgusting”
Lmao
ribeye thin strip is actually really easy to over or under cook. He was lucky it came out as medium. I have to often over cooked mine into medium by leaving it on the grill for 10 seconds to long as it cooks fast

I think he was being negative and was irritated by Mike and that's his way of venting it out at random. Maybe....
"Who eats rice with chicken?"
Really Mike? I'm questioning your Asianness.
Haha yeah this... We mostly eat rice but there was this time I bought KFC home and I couldn't eat rice with it.. it kills the experience.

The KFC combo meal in my country is literally a piece of chicken, rice, and soda lol
The original recipe for KFC isn't crispy. That's why extra crispy is best chicken at KFC.
im surprised Mike doesn't know the original is not supposed to be crispy, tho i do like the flavor of the original better.
The one time i got extra crispy chicken it was barely even breaded.
extra crispy doesn't have as good flavor tho
The original isn’t crispy; the extra crispy isn’t flavorful. My solution: get Popeyes 😁
@@jingorokitty that overpriced only good when its spicy flavor chicken? Churchs chicken is where its at!

Mike has had so much chicken, he's forgotten that original is never crispy.
Exactly. That’s why they have the extra crispy option. KFC is still my number one. And yes, I eat KFC with rice!
Factsssss
All the chicken looked like original recipe, I've never in my life had KFC original recipe be crispy.
This was the first thing I said when he started complaining about it not being crispy.
Right
I was looking for this comment. Totally agree. What is this guy? an amateur?

I honestly have loved & still love your videos to this day Mikey! I'm a CBC (Canadian born Chinese) as well as a chef. Well more like a chef in the making 😂 and you inspire me so much more to cook (and eat of course). I loved your videos from Hong Kong, and had traveled to some of the places that you went to/recommended! 😊 haha I hope you see this 🙈 Love from you're Snow Mexican neighbours up north 😊🇨🇦
thanks so much!!! keep rocking it out
I feel like I want to meet Mikey and hug him and say “please bring me everywhere you go eating”
@Niken C. I totally agree with you and that's what I think every time he post's a video on this channel and while I'm watching them. 😂
Hug me instead
First time watching your videos - awesome content. Thanks for sharing your food adventures. Makes me want to visit Tokyo!
And not because of KFC - but the other things in your video :D
Hey Mike, i think they’re not supposed to be crispy! We have them in KFC here in PH and they’re soft even when freshly cooked and still hot.
Of all your videos of you over the years, I love the ones in Japan the most. You appear the most happy in them and I not only mean with the food but overall :)! I hope you have the chance to spend a longer time there
haha I am

Dry chicken from KFC...*gasp* I never woulda thunk!
90% of the times I've ever had KFC, its dry. White meat is like chewing clumps of saw dust super glued together while dark meat is as greasy as biting into a chunk of shortening. It didn't help that the KFC that use to be near me took the extra step to really screw things up.
Yeah? What do you know?! You're just a headless chicken yourself!
I guess I have low food standards since I enjoy KFC.
I live in Chile and here all KFC serve very juicy and crispy shicken, haven't review Popeyes yet.
My luck has been 50/50 with KFC here in Canada - Churches Chicken is far better. But when I was living in Chengdu, China, the KFC there was pretty darn good. Only ate there a couple of times since Sichuan food is so, so good. But, believe it or not, the best chicken I had in China was at the McDonalds near our school; their spicy chicken sandwich was incredibly good!
The KFCs in the washington, DC area are just like that too. all dry as hell with soggy skin. Someone pointed out to me that the reason the skin isnt crispy is because KFC oven baked their fried chicken instead of frying. thats why they now have a "crispy" version.
