"I need something light. Googled some salads around here..." Ends up with two soy milks, dumpling buns, phở, tofu/ground meat dish, millet congee, fried artichokes and something else I can't even remember 🤣❤️

The Filipino aunt's soft skills are on point. She automatically just started having a conversation with him and made him feel comfortable. That's what I like most about Filipino culture. Of course there are bad apples everywhere but most often than not, they're extremely friendly.

I used to work at a school that had quite a few Filipino families (I’m in Australia) and all the parents were so kind, so lovely and generous with their time and food at every single school event or fundraiser. I still miss the foods they’d make for the annual school fetes 🤤

Dear Mikey you were asking how to order the Filipino way, you kinda did it the correct way by just pointing to the dish. We call eateries like that (as well as the way you order) in the Ph "turo-turo" (literally point-point). The saucy beef dish you had are called kaldereta (the one with bones) and mechado (the one that you liked the sauce and with beef fat). You have the best food content as always. Keep safe. Ps. Congrats on the girl
Kind of random, but I have to say that these videos and all the education about Asian culture helped me fix my bad eating habit of skipping breakfast. I still love cereal but more as a snack and I got really tired of the usual American breakfast fare. Having ramen with an egg, or rice instead got me hungry again in the morning. So thank you! 🤗

You did it right, Mikey! It’s called “turo turo” in the PH, which literally translates to “point point” because you just point at what you want to eat. Hehe
*This is how many people starving by watching this?* 👍🏻🖤💗
Hubby was jealous of this meal, so he wanted to get pho. Even though our meal for dinner was already ready 😂 Thanks Mikey for another video ❤
Houston's Vietnamese food offering is very diverse. When you're craving a certain item on a typical menu, there are restaurants that cater to that specific item. Here are some examples of specialize item restaurants: pho, pho ga, hu tieu, bun bo hue, banh canh, banh cuon, banh mi, quán nhậu, Hue cuisine, Viet Cajun, com tam, ga hainam. There's also places to get speciality items such as xoi, che, ko bo, nem chua, nước mía, goi tu, Cha Lua, cafe su da. If you can't decide, there's also Kimson buffet that has a little of everything

Thanks for loving Filipino food, Mikey! Just a tip tho, use a spoon with your fork when eating Pinoy food to scoop the sauce. You can also ask them to pour sauce over your rice for maximum flavor. Great video as always! 😊
14:17 - "At this point the eggs have pretty much scrambled itself" ~ (proceeds to beat the crap out of it with the fork)... 😂🤣😂🤣 Awesome ! LOVE your sense of humor, never a dull moment. Thanks for keeping us laughing !!
The fear when he said “did I say soy sauce” 😂😂😂 such a legend
The abundance of great Asian food in Houston was a pleasant surprise when I first moved to the city. There’s food from the Middle East all the way over to Japan and a bunch from in between! It’s definitely one of my favorite attributes of Houston. Thanks for posting the video, I can’t wait to try some of these spots and support the local food biz!
I can't wait to run into one day Mikey. Native Houstonian here. We all love your content on both channels! Keep up the amazing work!

4:32 in Indonesia it's called Cakwe, served with chili vinegar as dipping sauce. It's actually a chinese influenced cuisine

Non stick pans suck period. As soon as they get scratched a single time you have to throw them out, but people don't of course, and bacteria will get in the scratches. All of those products are toxic so you are eating that as well. Stainless steel, copper, or cast iron would be better. But Mike is only talking about that pan because they are paying him to. How often does he even cook I wonder with all the restaurants he visits.

My parents joked that when we order for all 3 of us they usually only spend $30 LOL

One of the best things about Houston when I lived there was the sky. The colors, the cloud formations, the sky seems so low, and the clouds move and change so fast. But then ... there's the humidity, the bugs, the heat. But the food was wonderful and so were the people
Mikey killn it with the uploads. Love it. ;)
Thanks for this happy video, just what I needed this morning to get me started before I start my working from home days. New Zealand has gone into national lockdown for 3 days (except Auckland for 7 days where the single community case of the delta variant has been identified). P.S. love that Chinese fried bread!!
I love that you love Filipino food!!😆 I’m so glad to know that one my fav creator love the food that I grew up with! If your ever in Chicago again let me show you around my favorite Filipino restaurants!!
I have watched "Use of my Talent" three times. It is wonderful, I hope you like it as much as I did. Another good series is "When I see you again". They both have Jasper Liu, who I just adore.

I love watching your videos, after my dad had passed in 2018, I found a coping way with Kpop music. I then began to love many Asian things , so I only came to say that I watched that Chinese drama you were talking about , “Use for my talent” and yes it was cute! I love Asian dramas on Netflix. I’m currently watching hospital playlist! So good! I also live in the next state, in Louisiana!
im glad katy is treating you well Mike hope to run into you in my hometown again in asia town!
