in case y'all were wondering what happened for a few seconds around 7:37 when the food is too good, my camera tend to black out from jealousy. Don't worry, I already told it to just focus, don't be negative and if that still doesn't help, go do some shots!
I used to go to Korea to see family every year but now that I can't this time around it's nice to be able to live through your videos. Thank you for doing what you do!
4:24 just wanna give a quick shout out to that incredible street art in the background, idk if it’s part of an advertisement, maybe it’s a huge billboard- I can’t tell- but it’s gorgeous!
I love korea . There's so many vlogers that have been in Korea but Mike is just so different and fun to watch . I've learnt so much thank you Mike for starting youtube 💜🥰
Mike, you gotta just stay in Korea man! Your vibes have been so positive and happy and we see you enjoying virtually everything u eat there! Has Korea crept up your list of favorite overall food countries??
I don’t know why but any time I see the streets of Seoul they seem oddly familiar like they give me nostalgia and I never stepped foot in Korea I have no idea what is it
I literally spit out my water when he said "i have a foot fetish especially with chicken and pig" i was like woah was NOT expecting to ever hear that. Ever 😂😂😂
I am from Uijeongbu, and Odeng Sikdang is my fav. budaejjigae place! Jjigae in this place can be a little simpler than the newer places, but I love the straightforwardness of the stew and the kick of kimchi in their soup base. Love to see you visit my hometown and my to-go place!
Loving this Korean food series Mike! Really makes me want to travel to Korea when I get the chance. Thanks for highlighting all the food this country has to offer. Enjoy the rest of ur stay!!!
Thanks Mikey for all these videos! I look forward to them every week and I also love your jokes and new plushy names!! 😊❤️ Thank you so much for making my week better!
Hey Mike, this brings back a lot of memories. I was stationed at Red Cloud for 2 years. My wife and I would always go to Shinsegae Mall in Uijeongbu and have budae jjigae and go see a movie, then we would go to the ground floor and get waffles with cream! Love watching these videos!
Hey Mikey, Love your show and we went to Jollibee in Cerritos, California ! The chicken is out of this world and the Mango Peach Pie is Bomb! the Halo Halo was great too ! the burger was good! It was a great experience !! Jollibee is a keeper!! Thanks, Chef Curtis
Its 7am in the morning and i NEED some budae-jjigae. Also, K-drama recommendation: Prison Playbook; Hospital Playlist. Hope you like it. Have a great day!
there are Oh my Ghostess; sweet munchies; Itaewon class for maybe cooking based K-drama. Also, if you into there cuisine or fusions there are quite a lot of fun variety shows like KBS Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant; tvN Three Meals a day!; Let's Eat etc.
Hey Mikey! I love your videos so much and as someone who struggles a lot with disordered eating your videos made me excited to eat again! thank you so much for posting all the time and I hope I can continue watching you eat delicious food all the time!
So happy to see another person taking the time to eat those pieces of meat others wouldn't even look at. I love chewing on a bone or joint to get that tasty goodness. Craving some pig's feet right now!
i'm glad to see you making good decisions and trying to stay safe. your job is definitely dangerous right now. wishing you continued good luck and safety! i love your videos so much, so many things in the world i had no idea existed, inspiring me so much to experience it for myself someday :)
This stew was born during Korean War. Koreans literally had nothing to eat and many found left over spam and foods near American Army base. They mixed everything that they can find and created this.
@@channfongsrisin2226 this is an upscale version, you just need instant ramen, spam, Vienna sausages and some kimchi. These are all preserved cheap items.
06:04 i love how giddy Mikey gets with the prospect of great food lololo you can actually see the expectation build up!! Btw I've lived in Korea for 10 years and haven't tried cow tongue!! I'm going to look for one today! Thanks!
You said that you visited Belgium in the past. Did you have a chance to eat our stew? If you haven't you should! It's basically beef that has been simmering in brown beer for 3 hours and it's soooooooo good.
If your current Korean food content had came before my visit to Korea I would have had one hell of a trip. I had a great time there but would have gotten more food knowledge through you.
Uijeongbo is quite far from the NK border though. Still connected to Seoul subway line. Haha! You got a long way to go and you can't see NK from there. The balls in the soup are potato dumplings. The potato starch gives them the chewy texture. Good to see you having good food in SK! By the way, that restaurant name translates to "fish cake house" because it was actually illegal to serve that stew in the 60s. It was a way to hide what they were actually serving. If you travel to Pyeongtaek, you can have Songtan Style buddae-jiggae, which was also started around the same time. It is meat based and not anchovy based broth. If you want to take a drive up to the NK border for some countryside food, I would be happy to show you sometime. There is a lot to explore outside the city. Cheers!
I was going to SK this year in late September until Corona said no 😭... Seeing all these videos of delicious food... I'm between jelaous, sad and hungry! Hopefully I can go in 2021. Mikey, I love your videos. They provide so much warmth for me. I also looove "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" 💜 PS... Keep the dad jokes coming 😂
I loved Army stew when I was a kid -- back then I didn't know it was Korean but my dad would make it once a week with us, he'd call it poor mans meal but in stew. :) spam is good in a broth.
idk if ur still in s Korea but I’d love to see u do a good challenge/ collab w the mukbanger tzyuyang who I think is the person who can eat the most food in one sitting in Korea hahah :)
everyone should travel like mikey! we should all just pack up and travel like mike. ASIA-NY-HI-WA-NY-WA-NY-ASIA for 2020...thanks for staying safe mikey! sure you did a few trips to TX in between all this. thanks for staying safe brother!
Mikey that boiled pork at the end is called Bossam. You are supposed to eat it as a wrap (with the red radish kimchi wrapped inside the Chinese cabbage leaf). Which you left alone
Hey mike Im in the army and just got stationed here in Korea ... you stopped by my families restaurant in Seattle call Kauai Family Restaurant a few months ago and would love to do a food adventure with you before you leave this place
I once had a multi course tasting menu, four hours, where there were professional food journalists, black belt level foodies, etc. when I had a conversation with the person next to me, a food editor, she asked what I thought of certain Korean restaurants. I replied some jigaes, lacked depth. They have no bottom. She asked what that meant. Mikey understands. The depth happens when the broth, sauce, stew gets to cool down after the initial cook. Then it develops more flavors when it’s reheated
you came my hometown..! it's not well known town except korean army stew(부대찌개) and the army base. and the funny thing is, ODENG SIKDANG is a resturant where the local people don't go well actually. edit: also Uijeongbu is not that north. just slightly more north than Seoul.
my god this makes me MISS korea. and i've only been there as a tourist a few times. i've been to many places on earth, but it's still one of my fave countries for food. tied for first place with taiwan.
To answer your question on which brother to pick in Secretary Kim: of course I would pick the main dude. He is so kind! His older brother was so selfish. Lived all his life in delusion always blaming his little brother for doing something he never did. While our main man feigned amnesia for the sake of peace in his family, disregarding his own need for healing and fears. Btw, it was like the perfect drama!
in case y'all were wondering what happened for a few seconds around 7:37 when the food is too good, my camera tend to black out from jealousy. Don't worry, I already told it to just focus, don't be negative and if that still doesn't help, go do some shots!
Fill that 2nd Asian stomach Mikey. Yumm
Died laughing
Completely understandable! 😉 hey Mikey ! Glad you're doing well in Korea! (Definitely some jealousy from me!!!)
I wouldn’t know, I get food coma just from watching your videos.
thought my pc crashed for a second there lol
Man I don’t want you to leave Korea. Just stay there for a while longer. These videos have been awesome.
honestly! im moving there in January & im literally going to try out every place he visited
@@oliviam469 honestly you’re so lucky. What I would do to live there 😭 or even visit one day. Hopefully soon.
I agree
I know for a fact he wants to stay for months and months, it’s a shame he can’t rn
i think he said he saying in korea for year, might me wrong tho
I used to go to Korea to see family every year but now that I can't this time around it's nice to be able to live through your videos. Thank you for doing what you do!
quick tip: watch mikey chens videos while eating to make ur food taste better or at least mentally
i do this for dinner every time he uploads a new video
I always do that. :P
True
This is what I do every day :)
True. I confirm it.
4:24 just wanna give a quick shout out to that incredible street art in the background, idk if it’s part of an advertisement, maybe it’s a huge billboard- I can’t tell- but it’s gorgeous!
I love korea . There's so many vlogers that have been in Korea but Mike is just so different and fun to watch . I've learnt so much thank you Mike for starting youtube 💜🥰
Mike, you gotta just stay in Korea man! Your vibes have been so positive and happy and we see you enjoying virtually everything u eat there! Has Korea crept up your list of favorite overall food countries??
Secretary Kim is good...its fun to hear the dramas he is watching.
It's so good I saw it twice lol
Lmao im currently watching it 😂
I don’t know why but any time I see the streets of Seoul they seem oddly familiar like they give me nostalgia and I never stepped foot in Korea I have no idea what is it
I literally spit out my water when he said "i have a foot fetish especially with chicken and pig" i was like woah was NOT expecting to ever hear that. Ever 😂😂😂
I love family style cuisine like army stew, hot pot, kbbq. It’s so yum especially because there’s so many variety in one sitting!
I so loved the time I spent in South Korea. The food was awesome as are the people. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
That budaejjigae restaurant just become the number one place I'd go to when I come back to Korea!
I am from Uijeongbu, and Odeng Sikdang is my fav. budaejjigae place! Jjigae in this place can be a little simpler than the newer places, but I love the straightforwardness of the stew and the kick of kimchi in their soup base. Love to see you visit my hometown and my to-go place!
Your videos are so therapeutic. I love the constant uploads!!!
Loving this Korean food series Mike! Really makes me want to travel to Korea when I get the chance. Thanks for highlighting all the food this country has to offer. Enjoy the rest of ur stay!!!
I want to try army stew so bad it sounds so good
Good news! Just get kimchi, spam, Shin (or Jin) ramen, and some hot water and you’re good to go
It's actually easy to make dish at home!
Same
@@jimmychong9856 Can't get kimchi from where I'm from... I want to try to make it myself some day
Well, you still need beef, pork, chicken, or seafood broth for the taste of the soup base
“When I’m happy I joke” misheard it as “when I’m happy I choke”... I was like noooo
i started "what's wrong with secretary kim" yesterday and completed 6 eps.....its so good and silly too...but i cant stop from watching it !!!
I watched it about a year ago. I loved the main 2 actors, they have great chemistry!
Watch Crash landing on you
Thanks Mikey for all these videos! I look forward to them every week and I also love your jokes and new plushy names!! 😊❤️ Thank you so much for making my week better!
You are the only person I know that can make eating fat, tendons, and gristle look so good.
She chose the right brother at the end 😍😍😍
The best things in mikey’s videos are the delicious food and some fun elements by mikey and the way he talks
I love watching your videos mikey ❤️🧡❤️🧡
Mike: * is making some really bad jokes *
Person cooking the meat: 👁👄👁
He’s making dad jokes smh not yet Mikey lol
hahahaha
😂
Did mike say korean drama?! "What's wrong with secretary kim?!" 😭😭 dude you're perfect
Hey Mike, this brings back a lot of memories. I was stationed at Red Cloud for 2 years. My wife and I would always go to Shinsegae Mall in Uijeongbu and have budae jjigae and go see a movie, then we would go to the ground floor and get waffles with cream! Love watching these videos!

Its 7am in the morning and i NEED some budae-jjigae.
Also, K-drama recommendation: Prison Playbook; Hospital Playlist. Hope you like it.
Have a great day!
I don't watch k drama usually but hospital playlist is the best drama ever.
Absolutely loved both those dramas. Hospital playlist is pure ❤️❤️❤️
Hospital Playlist is my favorite drama ever. And My Mister is awesome.
Any recommendations for Korean shows involving lots of food and cooking?
there are Oh my Ghostess; sweet munchies; Itaewon class for maybe cooking based K-drama. Also, if you into there cuisine or fusions there are quite a lot of fun variety shows like KBS Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant; tvN Three Meals a day!; Let's Eat etc.
Would love for mike to do a Army stew when he is home in big burther.
Hey Mikey! I love your videos so much and as someone who struggles a lot with disordered eating your videos made me excited to eat again! thank you so much for posting all the time and I hope I can continue watching you eat delicious food all the time!
I was stationed at 2nd Infantry Division HQ at Camp Red Cloud. I went to Uijeonbu just about everyday to eat.
I was wondering last week if you'll go to uijeongbu...well here it is..I miss uijeongbu.Thanks Mikey!!!
everyone wishes they have a mikechen friend to hang out with 🥺
4:22 that mural is incredible!
If you’re in Annandale VA, make sure to stop by DaMoim. The chef is the owner and she makes perfect budae jjigae!
thank you for this
Thanks! Will do!
@Al Gernon Sure, that can happen, but if you keep going back, they treat you like family. Lot's of 서비스. Don't take any offense.
Your videos always make my day! And Korea looks like so much fun!
So happy to see another person taking the time to eat those pieces of meat others wouldn't even look at. I love chewing on a bone or joint to get that tasty goodness. Craving some pig's feet right now!
i'm glad to see you making good decisions and trying to stay safe. your job is definitely dangerous right now. wishing you continued good luck and safety! i love your videos so much, so many things in the world i had no idea existed, inspiring me so much to experience it for myself someday :)
it's just so funny how everytime after you have just ate and you say, alright let's go find something to eat
cant get enough of your videos, really. you're great mikey
thank you!!!
"Start Up" is also a really good drama as well :)
This stew was born during Korean War. Koreans literally had nothing to eat and many found left over spam and foods near American Army base. They mixed everything that they can find and created this.
i like how the “leftovers” are better than what i eat in a day
@@channfongsrisin2226 this is an upscale version, you just need instant ramen, spam, Vienna sausages and some kimchi. These are all preserved cheap items.
T
It's crazy when you're hungry and you're watching these videos.... Okay I need more 🤣
06:04 i love how giddy Mikey gets with the prospect of great food lololo you can actually see the expectation build up!! Btw I've lived in Korea for 10 years and haven't tried cow tongue!! I'm going to look for one today! Thanks!
Loved how you sneaked in cow tongue and pig knuckle in this video 🤣. Makes us want to hit up our favorite place for pig knuckle in Daegu ☺️
You look happy and youger , Mikey. I guess you must have good time.
Seriously living for Mikey's silly dad jokes. They make me laugh every time 😀
Sad sad man... Did mikey like ur joke? Sad sad man
I order Korean army stew all the time from my local Korean restaurant here in Pasadena, CA.
Oh my God.. I miss Korea so much.. Thank you Mikey.. See your video can make me happy and hungry 😅.. Enjoy Korea!! And stay healthy.. 😊
Yaaay an upload from Mikey!!!
You're so happy there! Great to watch as it's bummer here in the states! 🎄💜💚💙🎄
i dont want you to leave korea im enjoying these videos so much :(
4:25 That artwork tho 🔥🔥
Hello from Kazakhstan! I’ve been ur fan for almost 3 years now, keep it up man, all the best!
Mikey, you've brightened up a dark time without realising. bless you.
Korea and Japan, 2 beautiful nations.
You said that you visited Belgium in the past. Did you have a chance to eat our stew? If you haven't you should! It's basically beef that has been simmering in brown beer for 3 hours and it's soooooooo good.
Mike Chen king of dad jokes! I love them keep them going!
The Hispanics know what's up with when it comes to the cow tongue. Tacos De Lengua
Love a piece of well fried spam in a biscuit with a thick slice of tomato from my garden...It is soso good..
If your current Korean food content had came before my visit to Korea I would have had one hell of a trip. I had a great time there but would have gotten more food knowledge through you.
gosh you know how to eat them
your video will make everyone hungry
I hope you have chance to eat Gamjatang someday
Oh... You are killing me, Mikey. I am stuck in Chicago for 27 yrs and you are eating all good food in my home town~~~ Love your channel!!

At around 7:37 the video goes completely black for a few seconds, just to say!
thanks for letting me know! It should fix itself in a few hours :-(
A moment of silence for good food lol
@@MikeyChenX i thought my cat pressed something weird on my keyboard lmao
I just went out of UA-cam like did my phone die
@@MikeyChenX Hi Mikey Chen how are you I am Zack from Malaysia I really want to see you do a Christmas Day video and AMONG US video pls
I love your jokes. They’re not good but I always laugh anyways somehow. Gives me a good smile.
I loved Army stew when I was a kid -- back then I didn't know it was Korean but my dad would make it once a week with us, he'd call it poor mans meal but in stew. :) spam is good in a broth.
All of my favorite in one giant bowl.
You are watching one of my FAVORITE dramas! I would still choose the brother who is her boss, but I'm a big fan of that actor in general lol.
While I was stationed in Tongduchon, I spent a lot of time in Uijongbu while I lived there. Definitely miss that place.
Omg the bao and bubble tea plushie is soooooooo cute!!
idk if ur still in s Korea but I’d love to see u do a good challenge/ collab w the mukbanger tzyuyang who I think is the person who can eat the most food in one sitting in Korea hahah :)

Love Kristine she’s so much fun and you two are perfect together ❤️
Mike another great mouth watering vlog !
One should always watch Mike Chen vlogs after eating just to be safe
Mikey that boiled pork at the end is called Bossam. You are supposed to eat it as a wrap (with the red radish kimchi wrapped inside the Chinese cabbage leaf). Which you left alone
Hes not really a,veggie eater from his previous vids
I binged watch it months ago. It is awesome
U make me hangry every time, and because of that, I started making good food for myself, thank you 🙏, also love your videos, have a nice one:)
WHO could ever give you a thumbs down ?? Thank you so much, I enjoy your videos so much. Hugs and Love, Peace and Grace.
your assistant should get her own food channel. she would do a great job!
Hey mike Im in the army and just got stationed here in Korea ... you stopped by my families restaurant in Seattle call Kauai Family Restaurant a few months ago
and would love to do a food adventure with you before you leave this place

Your Such an inspiration Mike I always want to eat even when I’m not hungry when I watch your vids which is all of them 🤣 thanks bud 👍
看你吃東西是種享受！！！很喜歡看你的視頻. I look forward to your next adventure :)
Remember having army stew at 4am in Seoul after partying all night when it was like 9 degrees out there. It was the best!
Haven't been this early, 1 minute ago! Hi Mikey! I love your videos they definitely help in coping with the situation we're at today. Stay safe!
you too Arial!
you came my hometown..! it's not well known town except korean army stew(부대찌개) and the army base. and the funny thing is, ODENG SIKDANG is a resturant where the local people don't go well actually.
edit: also Uijeongbu is not that north. just slightly more north than Seoul.
All these foods look so delicious ... I hope some day I can visit Korea and eat all these foods I've only seen and heard about :(
my god this makes me MISS korea. and i've only been there as a tourist a few times. i've been to many places on earth, but it's still one of my fave countries for food. tied for first place with taiwan.
South Korea's experiencing another wave, I hope you stay safe🙏
We love army stew and huge spam fans! Need to go to the origin of the stew when we get the chance! ☺️
I love chicken, beef, pigs feet as well lol ❤️ Mikey you're definitely my food hero!
Just in time for dinner time, thanks for another great video Mike
Definitely watch “ what’s wrong with secretary kim ? “ supper dupper cute one 😍😍😍😍

I'm also a secret spam lover lol I eat it by the tin or pack its my favourite in a sandwich or on its own and make a great spam fritter
Recommend you to visit dookki. It's a tteokbokki buffet so you'll gonna love it!
1:31 We all recognize her voice by now, doesn't she want to be in the video anymore? Misses "I look better in person".
@HTFIIA lol fr
