Ok😊

Been watching for a long time but to be honest the only reason I watch now is to look at the comments 😂 I think the longer someone streams the more direct/brutal their comment section is

7:38 "fresh ushabi" 😂

Hey Mike.. Happy Saturday! Australia was showing off with the buffet. Have a great day. Do Enjoy!! 🐞🤗😋

I live in Melbourne, in fact the bbq place is near my house, and yet I didn’t know these places existed!!! Must try!

The “small ikura” is tobiko. Flying fish row. Very common.

You’re In Melbourne!, welcome!! ❤

Wait till you try Aotearoas (NZ) kina (uni) and the paua (abalone) fried in butter , onions and topped with cream (creamed paua) 😋

15:10 BBQ POWER 😂🎉

Yeah Australian here.. love sea urchin

Epic. But also not sure Mike actually knows what umami is…..

Great to see Mike enjoying Melbourne food scene

And that will be $1000 😅 I miss when you put prices I know you do on some but like these restaurants you go too where you get various things from there that be dope.

7:15 That is $138AUD (~$90USD) for the 1 bowl of sea urchin rice.

Wow ! Meal for Kings 😊

In NZ we call it Kina and we loooove it😊

One more reason for Australia to be on my bucket list

My great grandpa used to eat garden fresh tomatoes with fresh cream and sugar.

Glen Waverley (sea urchin) is an Asian food heaven! The buffet is a 10 minute drive away. When you come to Melbourne, a souvlaki is what many have after a big night out. That example is what most look like. I am a lamb souvlaki all day. Great food in every suburb of Melbourne.

Oh my goodness you are in my hometown welcome to Australia

You need to try New Zealand sea urchin which we call them kina. The kina taste is way different then all over the world.

As a person from the southeastern US I 100% respect to concept of "We have this invasive species wrecking our ecosystem, what do we do about it?" being answered with "Let's make 'em tasty AF..".

After watching you for so long, being able to see you appreciate the food in my city is so so great!!

I just moved to Sydney! Now I gotta visit Melbs for that BBQ 🤤

It would be a dream come true if I could ever eat at a place like this. Sea urchin is my #1 fav.

i always see that BBQ place whenever im in burwood and ive always been interested in trying it, now i know whats in there, just makes me wanna go more!

Sydney is good for food but I do have to say, even without being there, Melbourne is the food capital of Australia

idk why but the face when eating at 18:08 makes me laugh hahaha

Welcome to Melbourne! Love your channel

Thank you for taking us on your journey. Truly appreciated

Thank you. May I have another. Great job, Mike....

I think his "Wagyu"of the sea comment was trying to compare the buttery taste and the way Wagyu dissolves on your tongue to Uni's texture. However I can't stand Uni so I could be totally wrong

Decided to do a drinking game. Every time he says creamy or umami, take a shot. It's only 4:30 mins in, and i need a new bottle.

Any plans for Auckland NZ?

That's definitely a place to goto if you love seafood especially raw

At 17:55, he didn't describe the flavor. "Melts in your mouth pure flavor." What kind of flavor? Spicy, salty, sour or what? What makes it more convincing is how he says it with a flair for the dramatic which still really doesn't help.

When in doubt, umami.

It’s so funny because for year I have no idea what ‘sea urchin’ or ‘uni’ were. Until I learnt they were KINA!

Bonza living the dream😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I dunno about all the uni, but that BBQ joint is my kinda place!

Looks delicious! Love your content Mike ❤❤❤❤

If we are going by Jason Mamoa Aquaman, he reguraly came to the surface for beer.

He's gonna be crapping yellow

Delicious ❤❤

I look forward to the Sydney episodes so I know where to eat 😀. I don’t think I go to the right places even being a local.

The first time I had or even seen an abalone, was with a dive group. I was handed the muscle & told to pound it into steaks...they got back & I said I wasn't successful. That the mallet kept bouncing off. Nope, I wasn't told to slice it thin first...😅

total of the bill?

remember when mike said he didnt liked uni, that it tasted like the sea vomited on his mouth?

Dude! You need to pop over to NZ some time! Looks like you'd enjoy the kina here

😊

Come to South Africa my man! So much different food cultures and our own unique stuff too ofc.. Ive been commenting for years for you to come try South Africa!

Ummm New Zealand eat a lot of sea urchin but ours are native and are called Kina 😍😍 we love it straight from the ocean still in the shell

I was going to say, is it ok to eat all that sea urchin? Seems like it would decimate the population. And then you said they're invasive and I was like, "ah well then eat away." Ahaha.

How much did the uni meal cost?

If sea urchins are a pest in Australia then why do they charge an arm and a leg

@iamnotmental

well i had a look at their menu and they charge $20 AUD for a "kids mac n cheese" the portion of course is kids size and looks like half (if even that) a box of kraft mac n cheese from Woolworths wich is worth $3.50 AUD so basically: $1.75 worth of mac n cheese a thumb size fried rice wrapped in a tiny sheet of seaweed 1 strawberry, 4 grapes, and a single thin slice of an orange ...all for $20. maybe somewhere in there you have your answer

This is the most beautiful resturant you have ever filmed in my opinion. I have never wanted to visit Australia - I do now!

Pls try captain kaimoana when you come to auckland bro!

So wat is uni ? Is he overhyping ?

Please come back Mickey, I've foodied vicariously through you for many years. Australia has much food to offer.

Whats y'alls beef with UMAMI 🤨

that lamb skewer was a bit under done in my opinion

What does sea urchin taste like?

It’s not that good. Rice texture and tastes were off, ambient a bit cheap and eclectic for the price, but great service.

Haha didn't even know this place is right next door to my gym I go to... Next time train and then uni

I think Mike I does an amazing job of descibing the food!!!! The only thing i miss is his visiting down to earth common people food but I am usually hungry by the time he explains what he is eating.
