Olipop is awesome!
Love Olipop! 😋
ممكن متابعة 🤍🤍🤍
😁👍
for the indomie, i seperate each packet, and then use my fingers to push all of the sauces down to the very bottom. i cut at the top when there's like no sauce at the top and it saves a lot of mess. i hope that makes sense!
It also helps to hold it at one end and flick it, or use the edge of the counter to squeegee it.
I do this too!
yeah, i usually do the flicking thing with powder seasonings!@@jordanlexton7354
i also like to put the packet on top of the hot water kettle or someplace warm while i'm cooking the noodles so that the oil can melt and it's easier to manipulate ^^
I feel like you could also roll it up and then cut it and squeeze them all out at once
For the indomie packets, I separate the oil packet and put it in the freezer while I boil my noodles. It’ll be solid by the time your noodles is done and the oil will slide right off the packet!
Great idea!
idk why i never thought of this before, this is genius!
Wow so smart 😮
That’s so smart! I came to the comments for the hacks because it’s one of my favorite instant noodles
I have air fried the kimchi rice in a couple of ways. Doing it straight out of the freezer ended up with no cheese pull and crunchy rice. Microwaving for 90 seconds and then air frying for a couple of minutes on each side ended up with a fantastic cheese pull along with perfectly toasty and slightly crispy rice. Strongly recommend.
I don’t have an air fryer. Would it make sense to microwave and then toast in the skillet like yaki onigiri?
Literally everything I've tried from Bibigo is solid. My local grocer started stocking this Bibigo crunchy sweet and spicy chicken and it's so insanely good. It's honestly better than any Asian restaurant I've eaten at.
do you not have a Korean fried chicken chain near you? Bbq chicken has even better chicken than bibigo chicken
@@bb4251Not that I'm aware of. I would love to go to an authentic Korean restaurant. Not sure if we have anything like that in the city, definitely not nearby.
The Mila soup dumplings are legit! They used to be called Xiao Chi Jie after their restaurant in Bellevue (just across the lake from Seattle). They changed the frozen dumpling brand to Mila to differentiate their two enterprises. We have a monthly subscription to their soup dumplings. They’re just as good as Din Tai Fung.
Hi Mei! I usually like to push my Indomie sauces to one side, leaving a small gap on the other side pretty clean, and then you can cut that clean gap with a scissor right away.
Sometimes, my sister and I also like to put the Indomie oil packet in our freezer for a very short time as we wait for the noodles to cook. That way, the oil will be temporarily solidified, making it easier and way cleaner to push out once you cut the packet, and it will just melt right back down as you mix the cooked noodles. We usually do that freezer hack for the soup kind of Indomie (this kind comes with dry seasoning packets and a packet of the Indomie oil), I don't think we have tried to freeze the sauces for the fried kind, but it wouldn't hurt to try! And I hope this helps!
Interesting! I actually do the opposite with the oil packet and warm it up with my palms because I don’t like how it’s semi-solid at room temp - I feel like if it’s cold it’ll stick more to the plastic and you don’t get as much out of it. But I’m admittedly anal about getting all the flavor I can and the freezer method sounds way less messy.
I cut the sauces the same way, though I’ll add I hold it vertically with the side I’m about to cut facing up so gravity can do some of the work, squeeze them down so the top part is clean, then cut through. Only when it’s fully cut I turn it upside down and squeeze from top to bottom, kinda like toothpaste lol. Less mess and less waste!
THANK YOU for this! You tried 80% of the items I’ve been curious about whenever I shop at Costco. Love this type of content for you 🥰
For the Indomie noodles, grab one side of the see-through sauce packet and flick your wrist several times for the sauces to get pushed down towards the other side of the packet. This will create an air pocket for all three sauces towards the top where your hand is, so it is easier to cut with scissors.
Hi Mei Mei!!!! Thank you giving me the honest low down!!! Saves me time. ❤❤❤❤
OMG I LOVEEE COSTCOO SAMPLEESSS!! THEY JUST HIT DIFFERENT ❤ luv ur vids btw!!!
same!!! they're the best!! hehe tysm 🥰🥰
@@feedmeimei OMG U REPLIED??
These are literally the best videos on the internet! Love you MeiMei! 😍🙌🏻💕
it all looks so good! i recommend the costco taiyaki, they have a custard filling❤️❤️❤️
the kimchi cheese rice balls look sooo good and convenient to eat 🤤
It all looks so amazing! I'm drooling! Great vid as always ty!
Oh my gosh, love your videos meimei
For IndoMei, drop the seasoning packets into the cooking noodles for like 10 seconds to loosen up the ingredients, then pull them out with chopsticks. Then squeeze all contents to the bottom of the packet and cut the top, holding the packets upright so they don't spill out. Then quickly squeeze out seasoning into a bowl.
Watching you makes my day ❤❤❤
OMG Mei ! Thank you for making this Costco content. Love Asian convenience foods.
How I wish my Costco had some of the products you showed. I would have loved the IndoMie and the TomYam Shrimp Wanton.
Thank you for reviewing the Asian food so we don’t have to buy everything ourselves!! LOL I’ve been so curious about all of these items so I love your videos! ❤
The rice ball in the air fryer is so good got a nice crunch ❤
Hey! I'm a subscriber from Indonesia, since Indomie is a popular food in Indonesia, there's no hack actually for the seasoning packet. Just a quick tip. Before you slice it open, give the packet a little squish to make everything slide down. That way, when you cut it, there's some room left, so you don't lose any of that tasty seasoning. Easy peasy!
Im indonesian too🇮🇩
My mom and I tried the kimchi rice balls and they were super spicy to me. I would recommend sprinkling them with some mozzarella cheese before you microwave them so they will be less spicy and have more cheese!
for the pad thai, i love to add a bit of peanut butter it makes it very creamy!
For the indomei noodle sauce packs, I cut them to all be individual, and then push all of the sauce part down as far as I can and then cut each little pack on it's own. It's makes a little bit less of a mess that way.
Costco ALWAYS delivers 👏👏
Yay! I've been wanting to try those soup dumplings, but wasn't too sure. Now I'm definitely getting them!!! 🎉
Stop making me hungry 😭😭😭😭
make sure to grab a snack! 😉
This totally makes me want to go check out my local Costco to see if they have the kim chi rice ball with cheese! Looks so good 😋
I love your videos sooo much!
aw thank you so much!! appreciate you 🥰🥰
I randomly found your channel 2 years ago and have been enjoying your videos ever since❤❤
I just want to share that the Matte side of foil is the nonstick side. That’s all love your videos.
Loved this video ❤
Thank you so much for always making these videos! They give me confidence when putting these items in my Costco cart! Please keep them coming
These videos are sooooooo good you make me hungry every time
First time coming across your videos; you have such a perfect UA-cam voice that’s so warm and welcoming haha!
I fried the kimchi rice cake in a little oil and it was delicious!
mi goreng is definitely addicting. I just tear the things individually after massaging it around a bit so that everything is mixed and just squeeze it out one by one. Wish they would just separate it so that we can squeeze it out individually because it does tend to make a mess sometimes. And I love rappokki. I haven't tried the Costco ones, but I remember a long time ago my friend's dad made it for us after school from scratch. It was my first time having it and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.
Making me hungry. Great picks.
i loveee calbee shrimp chips...yuzu & pepper is my favorite flavor
My favs are Tom Yum Shrimp Wonton soup n that chocolate cookie bar.
The takoyaki balls are my favorite! I should go by my asian market again and grab some LOL
Love your videos!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I just found your channel recently and I love your videos meimei! We live in Northern California and travel to the Bay Area frequently!
Love BiBigo, would love to to see them make more plant-based options
They actually have a lot! I’ve seen vegan pork fried rice, bulgogi fried rice, bulgogi & bibimbap flavored rice balls, Mandu, and some newer really good microwave steamed dumplings. I found these at Lotte.
Actually some of those might be from the Plantspired line from Pulmone but they’re very good nonetheless!
Awesome review and I’m happy because a lot of these are available in Canada 🇨🇦 🎉 glad I found ur channel ❤
Defo gonna dive into the Costco hauls playlists & im now subbed 🎉
Love the Mila dumplings! One of the best I've had from a grocery store.
You're my new favourite youtuber for this genre!! :):)
Love your vids! You have inspired me!
those takoyaki balls are so ADDICTING!
It would have more nostalgic if they had the rice paper on the white rabbit candy
I fold the packets straight down the middle, crease to push it away from that mark a bit, cut at the crease so I have less squeezing to do or, …push back contents with your finger to one end, cut that end and squeeze what you can out and then use a spoon to drip a little hot water in to get it all out…it’s tasty enough that a little water doesn’t really change it.
What I do for Indomie noodles is I separate each pack and then place the oil pack inside the fridge so that it'll solidify to make it easier to come out and the oil defrost pretty quickly so you wouldn't have to worry about solid chunks of oil (the hot noodles will also melt the oil)
The way I got super hyped when I saw a bag of Black Thunder bars. I have to go see if they're selling them near me...
I buy authentic Asian noodle wonton soup at Walmart and it's one of my favorite dishes. I love authentic Asian. So I would die to try the tom Yum soup!
my mom stores our indomie packets in the fridge, so the seasonings are pretty much always solid - no mess!
Guys, do you realize that the length of the video is 20:24????❤❤❤
I loved your reviews . I love Asian food and shop at Costco. So good . I now hit follow
To make those kimchi cheese rice balls even better grab some of the Nori snacks they carry and wrap with them. Amazing!
That sounds so good omg
Kimchi rice balls are the best!!
The indomie noodles taste so much better when you fry the noodles with the season packs and a little oil once you're done boiling and draining the noodles. I never use the whole pack of chili sauce. It really only needs half that amount. The sweet soy sauce is what makes it taste so good. I didn't even know sweet soy sauce was a thing before I tried them.
Indomie is S-tier Asian food
I recently binge watched your Disney series, I loved it so much! Can’t wait to watch this video too🫶
Love the kimchi and cheese rice ball and the shrimp wonton Tom Yum soup
These takoyaki balls are my obsession. I can eat a whole bag in one sitting
I love the olipop cream soda ❤
With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.
As you were saying, “look how legit this looks” about the Royal Asia dim sum, I was thinking, “what is this? Dim sum for ants??”
Yay Costco
Kimchi rice cheese ball all the way ❤
ooooh my god I need to find the indomie box at my costco, they're my FAVORITE instant noodles! I find getting the oil packet cold (my house is always cold but the fridge works) helps with opening and not spilling, and squeezing it to one side with your fingers before cutting.
you followed the rabokki instructions perfectly, they just don't call for enough water so we always double it lol
The A-sha Hakka noodles are very flavorful.
I agree the dumplings are Fire from Costco 🔥
Been eating indomie for almost 15 years. My favorite is the BBQ Chicken- I love it with a fried egg & green onions. If the seasoning packet is cold, then the oil solidifies making it a bit easier to get into your bowl. I have always just cut all at the same time. I will need to be on the lookout for the other items- shockingly, I’ve never been to a Costco (we never had any locations nearby) but soon plan to make the hour drive soon.
As someone of indonesian descent, it's actually so nice to see Indo food stuff becoming more accessible. Hopefully someday these stores will start to carry indofoods sambal so i dont have to keep asking my mom to bring it back when she goes home 😂
Those chocolate bar candies are my favorite from the Japanese stores, but I usually get the dark chocolate instead of the original milk chocolate 😍🤤 😋 in regards to indomie, I separate each packet and cut one side to squeeze the sauce out individually
What? Please do the Taiwan Costco video soon...I can't wait!! Great channel!!
mei mei! please do a video of where you eat everything you reccomend from costco :D
I'm all about the sweets lol! I'll definitely be picking those up!
I buy the kimchi rice balls all the time n if u like crispy outside airfryer is the way to go
For the indomitable I usually shake it so that is goes to one side. Then I cut them upright and then pour them in the bowl
Indomie is so good. Generally for cutting the package, I push everything down and cut opposite. I also make sure I cut at the side with the onion flavoring in the oil rather than the oil side. Cook a fried egg and eat with it. I'm definitely going to try the Bibigo rice balls. Thanks for the review of the Pad Thai because I was going to try it, but now I'll pass. I'll try the white rabbit ice cream as well!
Omg I love Costco samples gotta go try those out when I go shopping I woke and clicked on ur video right away!!❤
The pulmuone kimchi rice triangles at hmart have air fry options so totally doable!!
Loved the video, can you one for Target?
HEY MEI ILYSM!💕 For me when i eat mi goreng, i also got annoyed by losing alot of the sauce so now i just cut them into 3 of their own packets and pour each one individually. I know its going to take a while but its pretty worth it if you want more flavor 😅
I LOVE the indomie mi goreng noodles! I am eating them right now😂 for the packets i usually lay them on the edge of the bowl and use a fork to press al that deliciousness out😋
I also looooove putting an sunny side egg on top!
Indomie are super good with a fried egg❤ love your videos, you are just so genuine😊 I don’t share your hate for ginger, i’m super jealous cause we don’t have much of anything you show in your videos in the costco we have here, but seing you enjoy yourself is nice!
I love your videos
I got so excited seeing the takoyaki and then realized they were little chip snacks and not the real thing 😭😭😭
Yay, Costco has Indomie! Want those rice balls too!
I love the kimchi rice balls, I’ll make them in the microwave then I’ll put them in the air fryer to give them a crispy outside and dip in kewpie mayo
😮 I'm shocked! But let's Go!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
LOL let's go!!! we love costco!!! ❤️
I’m glad you tried the Asha meteor noodles. I seen those but was hesitant to try it. I tried one of their other noodles before and it was way too smoky for my liking and was scared to get a full box just to not like them!
The Tom Yum soup is one of the best things I’ve gotten at Costco in awhile, I could eat it everyday. I added coconut milk to it to make it creamy. I agree with most of your assessments. Try the ribs, and agree there was a weird spice taste and when the ribs cooled it tasted chalky, would not buy again and kind of costly. The pad Thai I still have a lot in pantry, good for a quick lunch won’t buy again. The soup dumplings love have bought them several times. I dip mine in soy and chili sauce.
I have had the meteor noodles, and I think the "meteor" is just what A-Sha calls that specific noodle shape. The ones at Costco tasted a bit like our local Asian grocery smells, in the best possible way, but I found that one packet was inadequate for a proper meal, even with add-ins like pickled vegetables or stir-fried meat.
As for the "pad Thai" noodles: I've had those noodles in pho form (they sure look like the same noodles I remember), and my biggest impression was that they were inordinately hard to eat because the oil stuck so well to them. Ordinarily, I'd consider the oil clinging like that a feature, not a bug, but it made it inordinately hard to pick them up. (Maybe it'd be easier with chopsticks, but I have several joint problems with my hands that make it very difficult for me to use them, and I was always rather clumsy with chopsticks even before my hands got messed up.) I'll have to go back to that older video to see what your impression was.
These videos always make me so hungry💀💀💀💀
I've been ordering the Mila soup dumplings since they started selling them outside their store, back at the beginning of the pandemic. They would deliver my order, by hand, to my doorstep. and now I have moved and I order them online for shipping. They are expensive (the Costco price is a LOT cheaper than what I pay, but I didn't see how many were in the bag you got), but absolutely worth it. They are so delicious and so easy to make. The pork and shrimp are my very favorite and they are the one that I tend to order multiple bags of. Black Thunder is one of my more favorite chocolate bars, when I can find them. (I now live in a tiny town with no Asian grocery stores closer than 75 minutes away, and the closest of the stores that I know is 3 hours or more away.) I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for some of these the next time I'm at a Costco (the Costcos near me are not given to carrying a lot of Asian food, but there is some. I stockpile big jugs of kimchi, since there are only 2 places to get it here and the cost is hugely prohibitive. I love Rapokki, but honestly, I just make it from scratch, since I can control the flavors that way. And I always add a ton of veggies so it becomes a full meal.)
Love your videos! I’m from the bay and haven’t found Olipoo yet. I do love the poppi they have!
