I love how excited mike gets simply looking at the menu (he was holding onto it with a death grip) - his genuine reactions while he actually EATS the food make you feel like you are sharing a dining experience and vicarious enjoyment. You know it’s good when Mike looks like he’s about to cry. His descriptions are classic and so much more entertaining than the usual foodie oooh yummy.
Went to this buffet on Mike's suggestion. I have to say it was one of the best meals of my life. Going back to Singapore in January and will be going back.
Mad respect for you growing up in a Chinese restaurant! WHAT HARD work! 3rd generation here = I am always so grateful for my Grandparents who came to U.S. and worked SO hard to give us such a good life. Cheers to you, Mikey!
I just started watching your videos & I am hooked! 😂 The way you speak about or describe the food you’re eating, it makes me feel like I’m there eating with you! You never run out of things to say about the meal you’re having. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@harvstralosik678 it means you where expressing your dissapointment so like a little kid who didnt get his toy so he just slouched and looks depressed
I love how excited you get when you're eating! Haha, it reminds me of my family when we get together to eat - we're so happy to eat together and talk about the food. Great job, Mike!
These food videos are unsurpassed. Clearly the best on UA-cam. The video work, pacing, descriptions, and editing are ultra-professional. It is such a pleasant and relaxing experience to watch your videos...
I am absolutely obsessed with your videos, I have no idea how I discovered them but I'm glad I did I am binge watching and love watching it's making me want to try loads more food. I have never liked fish....but recently tried king prawns.
I wish waiters could be paid fairly, it's a gross system. Sure some people do well, but most absolutely don't. Lack of a livable minimum wage AND the ability to deny minimum wage to tipped/disabled/'intern' staff is horrendous. People also get falsely declared as 'private contractors' so the boss doesn't have to pay tax or insurance.
I live in the Uk and waiters and waitresses get a fair pay as far as I know. Tipping is optional. How does it work in the US? Do they get paid the national minimum wage? I heard that some don’t pay that and rely on tips.
JM Kupihea every waitress gets payed minimum Wage. You get $2.oo per hour if you make over the minimum wage with tip. If you don’t make over minimum wage the restaurant will pay you. I much gather have tips. I made at least $25 per hour in tips
I love how whenever you get something crunchy you move closer to the camera so we can hear it better, even thought it is the mic on your shirt that is picking up the wonderful food crackle.
Watching you eat is just so satisfying, and you actually describe the food vs some other channel where the only description would be creamy and melt in your mouth.
It's misleading - it's SGD$108++, so the two pluses mean it hasn't included Government Service Tax (7%), nor the restaurant's service charge (10%). So that's an extra 17.7% that isn't calculated in yet, hence why we don't have tips required in Singapore. Also, I just checked St Regis's Yan Ting restaurant website, the price has since increased to $118++. Source: I'm Singaporean.
This is my favourite vid of yours. I wish more restaurants would be more masterful like this one. Everytime I watch this video I think restaurants need to up their game.
Actually, the fried sesame ball you were thinking about is totally different than the glutinous rice ball with black sesame paste. The fried sesame ball is fried giving it a hard shell plus white sesame all over the outside. The glutinous rice ball with black sesame paste is kind of like a dessert soup that has sweet & gingery liquid (called Tong Yoon in Cantonese aka Soup Ball), but this version (Looy Sa Tong Yoon in Cantonese) is without soup and is powdered outside. I loved eating that when I was small.
Please!! you should do a disney world food tour!! get the full dining plan, go for a few days and tell us what its like!!! the cinnamon buns, the funnel cake, the various sushi they serve. and all the rest! go have some fun on rides too, but the food!!!! the drinks!!! iv seen alot of vids recently for different types of food, but all i can think of is 'i wish mike would do a video!' . or next time you find yourself in japan, do disney there, or hong kong.... both have dim sum or mochi in the shape of disney characters! so cute!
Mikey, you what you are eating at every restaurant I would eat when I visit them places, you are the man love all the food you get to try & eat... Great food, loved all you had.... Wow, my respect to you Mikey...
Strictly Dumpling your videos are so good! Maybe try visting the island of SAIPAN it is next to Guam. It is a Commonwealth the US. Please try to come! Anyways you are so awsome!
Watched this thru and turned around and watched it again! The chicken toe comment was priceless. This channel just blows everyone else out of the water!
Zxx V2 : I guess you have a higher standard. Anyway I only made the comment since I've noticed Mikes backgrounds having girls eating behind him was probably coincidental.
totally awsome vid man yr use of adjectives are wonderful and i trully enjoy sharing these food adventures with u, even though when im done watching im hungry as sin
Mark Iversen yah ... GST in Singapore Sibei sian... not very worth in my opinion ba ... I also go to Ban Heng restaurant order all you can buffets...I think best ba.. worth also
adrian yew ok honestly every time I see someone write "ba" at the end of their sentences, I can't help but think: Do people REALLY say that in real life? If not, what does the "ba" mean? Is it like "la", "lor" or smth? I'm not Chinese so I'm asking out of sincere, genuine curiosity.
Mike, personally for me this is your best performance yet as food vlogger. If there is an award for Best Narration in Food Vlogging category, this is it. The way you describe the food is just so mind-blowingly good.
Just discovered this video. First off, subscribed to everything of yours now. And I have never been more jealous of anyone or anything in my life --- UNTIL. RIGHT. NOW. Amazeballs! 😋😋😋😋. You’re the man!
Mikey I love your videos, I literally have watched them all. I am allergic to shell fish unfortunately because allen of those dishes sound so delicious. Thank you for the vacations I get to take every time I tune in to watch!
hi Mikey always a pleasure watching your channel your videos are always entertaining and delightful, thanks for sharing looking forward to seeing more videos from you in the future till the next video God bless bye 👋 🍴🍜🍝🍶🍗🍤🍣🍱🍜🍲👍👍👍👍.
Of all the expensive places you've ever gone on this show, this is the one I'd really really want to go to. Of course not living in US and being a student, pretty much every place shown is out of my league but following your general advice I think I'll add this place to my food bucket list.
Lmao! Awwww the face you made when they left in the middle of you ordering... you looked so sad... and then she came back and you looked like a baby who got his rattle back😄. I loved it!
That’s more like it Mike! Bravo on the dim-sum! Now that’s a freaking good restaurant for it’s Asian and just simplicity hits the stomach bang on! Well done! Welcome back bro👍👍 Lu from Canada 🇨🇦

I love how happy you look while eating, especially in the buffet videos 😄
The way he loves food..proves he could be my BEST friend..I'm the same way..
I love this guy!
You are killing me here, 😀 the facial expressions & noises you make while enjoying food, warms my heart
He looked so happy, seeing the menu 😍😍😍
I can tell this is going to be one of my favorite video from this channel ❤
Same lol😂
Totally would be hugging that menu too.
I didn't I think 🤔

Congrats on 700k subscribers!!! You deserve way more tbh 😋
Cottonballs yes he pay so much money just for his video
Mutant Specimen that bill was nothing compare to what he makes.
This was a sponsored video probably, he got paid to do this.
thank you!!!! :-)
I wish...
1:49 His reaction is the best, the things that make Mike happy! All you can eat buffets!👍
"This is so good, I wish chicken had more toes" - Mike Chen, 2017
truth
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Behold the holy word!
I'm scared, i'll not gonna eat it. two is enough
I prefer that kind of atmosphere you pay straight without wondering how much tip you need to give like in the U.S.
I wish waiters could be paid fairly, it's a gross system. Sure some people do well, but most absolutely don't. Lack of a livable minimum wage AND the ability to deny minimum wage to tipped/disabled/'intern' staff is horrendous.

Yea what's the deal with giving tip to the waiter/ress? We don't actually do that in my place
@@suckerz01520
In the US it is like optional that is not optional... If you don't tip them 10%, they get mad...you owe them the tip... Muricans
JM Kupihea every waitress gets payed minimum Wage. You get $2.oo per hour if you make over the minimum wage with tip. If you don’t make over minimum wage the restaurant will pay you. I much gather have tips. I made at least $25 per hour in tips
I feel like it was just yesterday that you were celebrating 100K... Mike you are amazing!
time flies...thanks for watching!
ISNT IT INSANE? I remember 55k! All his channels have blown up!
@Strictly Dumpling I'm curious about something, can you eat most of the food there with Silverware or does it have to be Chopsticks?
Mike stomach goes on for eternity! How does he do it
I love how happy, relaxing and descriptive this was. What Strictly Dumpling is all about I think def one of my fav uploads of yours Mike 👍🏼👌👍🏼
Cute girls in the background and he eats and talks about food to a camera to us. That's dedication.
She ain't cute. Plus she's trying too hard to ignore mikeys direction of commotion.
@@briancho8656 or some people have better things to do in the company of their friends
Aye, they're pretty ladies.
@@briancho8656 they all look pretty and rich wdym :((
I live vicariously through you and your food adventures ☺ Another great upload, Mike!
This is the most enticing food video I’ve seen. I love all these things mike is getting and I’m hungry! I’d go to Singapore just for this meal. Yum!
"The mochi did a lot of Pilates"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like mochi after pilates lol

LOL AW THE POUT AT 9:49
Watching you eat is just so satisfying, and you actually describe the food vs some other channel where the only description would be creamy and melt in your mouth.
I am dimsum hevane just by watch it the menu looks gr8 need to go to this place
The whole time I was watching the girl over his shoulder waiting for her to look who the hell he's talking to lol
I too was wondering
I think the girl looked but the editor edit it out
And I didn’t see her eat anything?☹️
im wondering too
Thanks for finding this place Mike. Will be going here next time in Singapore.
OMFG. Only $108 for all that? That's a freaking bargain. I had the House Special Lobster the other day and that 1 item alone was $85......
'Only' $108?...... you can have 20 good meals at Singaporean Hawker Centres for that amount....
jzizzles start smart shopping...
@@Zz7722zZ All you can eat though. You can quickly eat $108 worth of foid.
@@Zz7722zZ But this is at The St. Regis!
It's misleading - it's SGD$108++, so the two pluses mean it hasn't included Government Service Tax (7%), nor the restaurant's service charge (10%).

The food quality won’t be comparable to what he normally eats on his travels . Not worth it
Mediocre request..
Update : he actually did !!
Mikey, you what you are eating at every restaurant I would eat when I visit them places, you are the man love all the food you get to try & eat... Great food, loved all you had.... Wow, my respect to you Mikey...

Kid Goku but they don't look good
It's called preference. Personally I see what he means, and I agree lol.

@@Idkmanihatethisyou have air?!!?!!
😂I feel ya.

Mike, just a heads up, the cost is S$108++, which means you pay GST and the service charge, so it will cost another S$20 or so roughly.
Mark Iversen reallyy shoit
Mark Iversen ? wait isn't it included
Pink Ribbon Nope. When there's a ++ behind the price, it means that the GST and service charge isn't included
Mark Iversen yah ... GST in Singapore Sibei sian... not very worth in my opinion ba ... I also go to Ban Heng restaurant order all you can buffets...I think best ba.. worth also
