There is something really fascinating about Mike when he engages into in-depth food monologues x)
Thanks for the video man! It's 4 AM in Germany and I'd be willing to fly to China right now to satisfy my sudden urgency for a fried dough/soup combo breakfast. And that egg/bread monster looks sooooo delicious oh my god! Dude your breakfast game is on fire!
I agree, Mike is totally engaging and entertaining! The egg/bread thing is basically savory crepe which they make from scratch here in Flushing, NY. The chef pours a thin batter over hot flat skillet then when the batter starts to solidify, he cracks an egg over it and scrambles it. Then adds other fillings like sausages, crunchy fried dough, sauce, etc. Yummm

Thee best oh am hungry $#&&&
I've had so many meals with Mike Chen... because when I watch his videos, I get hungry and start eating
Meee toooooo!
omg this just reminded me so much of childhood.. i can't wait to have these next summer!
+Lucy C. yea unfortunately, cant get them everywhere
I'm also from Northern China. Love your energy and passion about food.
mee tooo
My condolences
Need that Chive Hot Pocket and Tofu Soup recipe yum!
Kaede dito
I live in Beijing and am absolutely hooked on Dofunao. When I walk into the breakfast stall near my house every morning, they already know what I want! :P Thanks for these awesome videos, Mike!
+Spencer Shortwave thanks for watching!
+Spencer Shortwave You need to go to Tianjin, and try the dofunao there. When my grandfather told me that tianjin dofunao is completely different, I didn't believe him as the two cities are so close together. Only when I went back to Tianjin myself to try it, did I realize how big the difference really is. Beijing dofunao just doesn't compare, it's like the difference between mcdonalds and a 3 michelin star restaurant =/
+Strictly Dumpling DO you dip the bread in porridge too?
You could dip the youtiao in the porridge too.
Spencer Shortwave I was born in Beijing and lived my childhood there. I wish I appreciated good Chinese food like youtiao, doufunao more because I certainly don't have this stuff in the States lol
I've lived in NYC my entire life and your videos have opened up a whole new world of eating options. Thank you @Stricktly Dumpling!
I've always felt that in regards to breakfast items, I definitely lean towards Chinese and Japanese breakfast items.
I hate things like cereal, scrambled eggs or sunny side up, I don't like hash browns or toast, not big on sausage and I only like pancakes, waffles and bacon, but on rare occasions.
I much prefer to have noodle soups. I love drinking warm broth early in the morning. And love a light soup to start my day off and warm by belly and throat.
That hot pocket thing looks so good!! I need to either learn where to buy these in bulk or learn how to make them. Also, the soup looked really good as well.
drinkallthesunshine Shoot what about eggs Benedict alongside fruit and beans with English Breakfast tea! Now that is a great Breakfast!
As a Chinese, I find both Chinese and English breakfast extremely satisfying. Egg benedict with some good beans, perhaps not english tea but green tea is one of my favorite breakfast. So is our famous Beijing 煎饼果子!
area0404 Good to hear! I have a huge taste for tea. Ginseng green tea is actually my favorite, on par with Earl Grey.
Funkymonk Warsong Earl Grey is my go to tea if I am drinking it alone or with sweet desserts. If not, I usually default back to my habit of drinking green tea. Hm... Prefer older green teas as they have milder flavour.
area0404 Earl grey for me is my thinking tea. It helps when I am writing a report. And green tea is my relaxing tea. English Breakfast tea when made correctly wakes me up in a good mood. :)
I love how descriptive you are of the textures and flavors. Really makes me want a bite of whatever you are enjoying.
My mouth is watering from all of this food. Good video as always!
看完这个视频突然想到小时候爸妈带着自己去早市的地摊吃这些，豆腐脑配白吉馍，或者煎饼果子胡辣汤稀饭之类，好开心啊！现在再回去家乡，因为城市整顿，都没有早市了~~~遗憾

Love it when your videos teach us more about chinese geography and culture through food ! :) You tiao, jian bing are 2 of my favorite things EVER... oh and congee too haha... But in my memories it was hoisin and char siu sauce that were on the jian bing ! My memory must serve me wrong lol
Here in Singapore, we do 油条 with other 'dips' as well.Such as Coffee, Milo or Oveltine or Hot Chocolate malt drink.
Started salivating when you pour the Chinese Vinegar into the Pepper soup.
Omg! This video brought back so many memories while I lived in China! The Chinese chive pocket and the dou fu nao are my favs!!! Thanks Mike😁 now I'm like super hungry for those dishes😩😩😩
BethMingZhu thanks for watching!
I absolutely love how well you explain your food videos. Thank you so much for putting these up. :)
I especially like the Hu la tang part. Glad you know about it! Very good resource to show my American students the most delicious breakfast in China!
Gotta enjoy the fact that someone loves spice as much as I do. :D
Great video.
Being an ABC, Korean and Japanese seem to be more of the cool Asians...and I always wondered why us Chinese were falling behind when it came to popularity...after than your typical Chinese takeout. Doesn't help that I've never stepped foot into China yet. But watching your videos gives me that huge YASSSSS FINALLY feeling. I LOVE your confidence and enthusiasm as you show off real Chinese food. Keep it up, brotha! I'm feeling the pride.
totally.
korea and japan are typically more emasculated too. Look at kim jong un, the korean gamers, the japanese declining birth rate. They gotta do some more... ya dig
Too bad for the ABCs. Is you know the real thing, you will not care about the popularity contest based on superficial things.
your definition of cool needs to be reevaluated
sweet okole Yeah? Why is that? Are you telling me I can't have my own view or feelings of what seems cool and what doesn't....hmm....well, that's just not cool.
I think you have to understand that even ABCs will experience things differently from each other based on what goes in their lives and what they're exposed to. Therefore, one's definition of cool can be definitely be from different from the next person's. That's why different generations may consider, for example, different forms of entertainment to be "cool." And I don't see what's wrong with that in the slightest, but would be open to hear you elaborate.
I lived in Shanghai for four years and xifan and mantou were my favorite go to breakfast items.Thank you so much for the video!
Thanks Mike. Keep posting, you always have something interesting to say! 加油
That soup looks and sounds so amazing 😍😍😍
Ciara Letitia you gotta try it!
Ugh I'm hungry and everything looks amazing!!
Always enjoy all your videos. Love your works!
Thank you so much for this channel! I love all things food and Chinese is by far one of my favorites! I can't wait to see more delicious dishes for me to try my hand at!
i usually eat that doughy thing with congee
"In the north we don't eat a lot of steamed rice for breakfast because we think it's a little too heavy."
*bites into egg wrapped oil drenched bread*
Love your channel by the way! :-)
🤣🤣🤣
This guy is sweet, funny and does such a great job at describing all those foods! Made them look SOO good!!!
When I went to college for Nursing I minored in Asian studies but watching your show I've gain so much insight into real time Chinese culture of normal day to day people ...thank you
In Thailand we call fried dough "Pa tong goh"
And we dip it in pandan custard, condensed milk, eat with hot beverages in the morning.
Hey Mike, could you show us how to make those tofu brains or the white pepper soup? Those looked really delicious ^^
+Serjo777 the tofu brain is not a home-made food item. you have to go to a food stall or a resterant to have it. although white pepper soup is not complicated to make.
Emi Cang
I'm pretty sure nobody will kill you if you make it at home.
+Serjo777 You can buy Tofu kits as well, definitely worth trying, real good to have a nice stash of Tofu lol, the stuff can get expensive for sure, homemade for the win, go to a store or market you'll find it there.
Serjo777
Thats a good price, similar in my country but I live with a whole bunch of vegans (im not though) and go through quite alot.
+Serjo777 Look for the tofu in clear plastic packets, not the square ones in hard containers. You're looking for the softest ones you can find. It won't be authentic, still, but the liquid ones are close. Cook those, then add the special salty broth + green onion (not cooked) + whatever he lists above. Serve hot.
The reason it's hard to make, is that the store probably makes the tofu and the broth at the store, so the texture and flavor are hard to replicate, especially if you have never had it before.
Love your series
@Strictly Dumpling One of my favorite breakfast item to eat is the fried dough dipped in soy milk. You do an excellent job of explaining dishes and I really appreciate it! Please keep making videos. =)
I love your videos!
Annie Schrader Thanks :-)
Oh god...not a single thing looked bad. I'm now craving all of these dishes and don't know where to find them 😊🔫
+Valerie Woods come to china!
+Valerie Woods its all greasy with oil and fat
William Carter Problem?
Got a problem, loser? You look like you have a lot of them.
Valerie Woods nyc
Thank you for posting this! I love watching you eat lol.
Lalique d'Bruzzi haha thanks :-)
his review seems genuine
You're like a Martin Yan, Anthony Bourdain combo! I love your channel and enthusiasm for delicious food!
Doris Lo haha Thanks :-)
Strictly Dumpling I can see Guy Fieri too!
"We like to use our buns as lethal weapons." Even funnier out of context.
Thanks for posting, this was so interesting. That pepper soup at the second stop looked so good
love ur channel!
Savory breakfast is the best! In Korea breakfast is even a bit more 'hardcore' (for Western standards) than in China. We have meat and stuff with our pickled veggies. The base are rice and soup, for those who prefer it 'lighter'. My colleagues at work used to give me the nasty 'Ewww...' looks when I had mine at the office.
I got the same reaction at work with lunch, too.
Stéphanie OkHee Typically in the morning my palette isnt really awake yet. And we need to get to work or school, get shit done. So I'm all about food that is bland, boring, and takes a backseat to my plans. But 11-2pm, bring on the spicy, red fermented, steaming stuff!
I'm totally American but tend to go towards, rice/soup/noodles for breakfast along with meats & vegetables and always kimchi for some reason. Sometimes some dumplings. I rarely eat an "American" breakfast.
RebelRhiannon You don't sound American. I think you're a liar.
you lucky bun!!! i am so jealous atm.
These all look so delicious!
I really enjoy your videos!
How much do you eat for lunch after having a breakfast like that? Awesome food. I'm learning a lot from Chinese cuisine from your videos :)
no, chinese they dont eat all those 10 kinda stuff all togather just in one day in the morning ,usually they just pick up one or two items which mentioned in the video
I like my fried dough with sweet coffee
Watching you enjoy good food is making me so jelly!!
Thanks for making these videos! As an ABC, who is barely literate in Chinese, I only know bits and pieces of what China is actually like - your videos help me learn what I've been eating this entire time lol!
Even though I am 100% Chinese and from the south, this is totally new to me....the Cantonese eats something less greasy I guess, but all the food you introduced look really good though.....
My family is from Heilongjiang. Never realized how northern I was 😪
i love all you mentioned in this video!
Awesome! Thanks!!!!
I don't know why but I find it hilarious that you're eating that calzone-like thing with chopsticks when it would clearly be 100% easier to pick it up with your hand lol!
In other cultures the norms for what you can and can't eat with your hands are different, itd be easier to eat lots of food with our hands but we think it's unsanitary
WeirdyCat in India they eat most food with their hands if its convenient to. They eat curry with rice with their hands and naan. If I did that at the table here in the US they would look at me like a barn animal. Its just cultural norms lol
You can find all that in Toronto. I did. LOL

yiranjack 雨晴面馆的胡辣汤 👍🏻👍🏻
im so glad you share things like this because you teach all of us about your culture!!!! i wish i could do this for peruvian food tbh
+Lauren Cottle - you can tell us to make cheviche or lomo saltado.
yeaaaah or aji de gallina or on the breakfast item theme maybe chicharron y relleno, my mouth is watering!
My fave "native" breakfast where I'm originally from is called "Taho!"
It is a very silky soybean curd, with syrup & boba pearls on the bottom,, you mix em up as u eat thru the cup, served warm!!!!!!!👌🏾
A beautiful breakfast or snack anytime of the day!!!!!!!👌🏾🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Man you eat so passionate... It makes me hungry😂
6:49
"This is essentially bread. ... wrapped in bread. ... with some fried eggs."
You are such an enthusiastic foodie! I could watch you eat all day.... except then it makes me hungry.
Thank you the trip down the memory lane. Tofu soup is part of my favorite childhood memories growing up in korea... 6 AM family stroll through the hills followed by this dish at a restaurant in the park for weekend breakfast - quality time with my overworking dad ♡.
i don't mean to sound rude but...
where do u put all that stuff u eat?!
U must workout long and hard to get rid of that fat!
He either works out a BUNCH or it all goes to his butt XD
lol!
He shares it with his camera crew, of course. :)
He is asian...
@MountainRain "eating that many colonies a day".... haha he's Genhis Khan all over again
i miss northern chinese breakfast... especially jianbingguozi
This is one of the best youtube videos I've ever watched in my entire life.
The tiny shrimp comment was hilarious! I love, love, LOVE this video! Love your channel!
The congee look like they'd fit in a Finnish breakfast table just fine, instead of the usual porridge. Seems kind on the stomach and easy to digest.
UnclePutte can't speak for anyone but I actually replaced my sweet oat porridge with savory congee for my normal breakfast and I'm so glad I did. Highly recommended.
@6:30 I thought the thing was in a paper bag... it just happens that the thing looks like a paper bag. Cool!
looked like it had a paper wrapping
absolutely authentic, every little bit is full of childhood memories :D another two things i love having for breakfast growing up in northern China are 白吉馍 and 烧饼.
I've seen that fried dough crepe thing a few times and have been curious about it. You have now convinced me to try it!
I feel like the fried dough would be even better with some cinnamon, anise, cardamon, or some other sweet spices
apbrit2009 there is a type of sweet fried dough where the dough has melted sugar in the center.
Why have I never lived near any Asian restaurant that's open for breakfast, I feel like I've been robbed my whole life.
Interesting ! Thanks !
wow, thanks so much for putting this channel together! hard to find authentic Chinese food (esp. Northern) where I live so this is how I cope with Chinese food nostalgia. makes me want to move to NYC!
***** thanks for watching!
I wish Jackie Chan was my dad so I can buy all the Chinese food I want.
hey buddy, you're mexican so you guys make all the food in the chinese restaurants.
+David Lee dude my dad isn't jackie Chan food is expensive and he gets like 5 plates. I wish jackie was my fad.
dude you're mexican, you guys make the best orange chicken. joost lika mama yooza makeh!
David Le is that u brother
DMG Report His father isn’t Jackie Chan! Smh 🤦🏼♀️
real chinese food looks amazing. i for the most part make my own. ^^ but i need to find out how to make these stuff in the video
Naruto Uzumaki I know that all you eat is ramen, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.
***** I'm a growing boy
you always make me so hungry, I love your videos.
absolutely love the first dish...
can't forget the hot oil.
So, at the end what you're trying to say is that you don't want none unless you got buns hun?
AKShamu28 exactly!
AKShamu28 I was just thinking that lol XD
All the foods look absolutely delicious! Really delicious!
I live near Flushing, Queens NY and you can pretty much find all these Chinese breakfast treats around here. There's even an all you can eat buffet place along Main street called Red Bowl that serve many of these daily from 6 to 11 AM. So come on down and check out our fair and bustling city!
煎饼果子必须是天津的最正宗 北京的煎饼果子 居然还有加烤肠的 而且最正宗的煎饼一定要用绿豆面摊 天津本地人还依然坚持选用绿豆面做糊 超级赞
其实我觉得还有另外一个也需要品尝的早餐 天津的锅巴菜 在热气腾腾的咸味打卤酱里 放上又脆又绵的锅巴和香气扑鼻的黄花菜 经过温度融化 锅巴会逐渐变软 然后淋上麻将或香油 最后放上香菜 搞定 绝对美味且解饱哈 能量满满
+Jacky Zhu 嘎巴菜…饿了……
I keep thinking he's going to drop the bowls and plates
I am a new subscriber and I am awed by your videos!
really informative thanks
o.o i never ate 油条 with soy milk before. i only put then in congee
in northern china you cant have youtiao without soy milk for breakfast
wow. learn something new everyday lol
and i never heard of salty 豆腐花 before too
I think it's pretty common in the south too. My parents are from there and if we buy fried dough as the first priority, cold sweet soy milk HAS TO go with it. If we have congee, it's a very nice addition.
Amy He really? I never knew that. I mean I'm wasn't born on China so i don't know.
So it seems u've chosen ur way with the salty clan.......a marked enemy for sweet clan in upcoming sino civil cuisine war.
Tony Montana
thank you, for this information.
Mike, thank you so much for showing all these amazing foods. Your pleasure in sharing and eating makes the video. Shrimp eyeballs & whiskers LOL.
did u finish all that food cuz u know wst a waste!
ok Mike, you lost me at that mini shrimp. I can only see them as FISH BAIT. sorry. lol
I love vids that teach me things that I didn't know - and I also yearn to experience the vicarious pleasure of others exploring the food / holidays (vacations) / experiences that they have loved - so may I therefore give this upload 11 out of 10 because it ticks all of the relevant boxes ? : ))
I love your vids!!!!
pookiroo Thanks :-)
Do you even eat all this food? To me it looks like you just order a bunch of different dishes and then review them, without completely eating them.
+Arongan Does that bother you? I do believe he eats all that stuff, and I believe he isn't alone in this videos, but either way, if he just bought it and threw it away, that's his money, his problem, isn't it?
Arongan camera crew probably eats it too
Wow, something vegetarian for a change!
Right? :D
I love Chinese food I see in videos but a lot of it contains meat...
If I make it I just change it up slightly to get a veggie version but it is great to see traditionally veggie things to every once in a while
I appreciate your videos. You explain things in a way that is easy to understand and I really wish you luck in the future with your career.
Very educational!
I'm becoming skeptical of your taste buds due to your constant addition to hot oil to everything. Do you not enjoy to taste of food without hot oil? The individual flavor of food items that make a dish? Or are your taste buds burnt off so as to only be satiated with the addition of hot oil?
Sorry, I'm too distracted by the Asian hotness in the background. :)
this video has me thiiiiiissssssss close to snapping up a $1000+ ticket back home to tianjing and eating absolutely EVERYTHING.
keep up the awesome videos dude, I'm so hungry rn
"and this place is pretty crowded so everyone is giving me the 'what the heck is this guy doing look' but we're kind of in our own little world here." Love it!!! Love the videeoooos!!
