That guy was like a teacher when you go into another country who actually speaks your language and teaches you their tradition and food. Salute to those guys.
Mohit Kherada I've seen such guys... He's trying to impress the foreigner. That's why he's only showing him food stuffs that is "cool" with locals, ie non-vegetarian stuff
And it had nothing to do with the fact that Mike loves meat as he has stated countless times? So if he is a fan, he'd know to suggest meat highlights of the area.
@@cricketknowall I don't think so because Mike has often made it clear he loves his meat. Also the guy was knowledgeable with the ingredients and really gives depth to helping us understand what's in that local dish. Also Mike wouldn't go around telling people who he is so for the guy to know him, the guy's definitely a fan. At least he's not bringing him around 'tourist trap' restaurants and to the 'cool' local places. If it were me I'd be honoured to bring Mike around for a tour. You just sound like a salty vegetarian from the way you commented.
I like to tell folks if you are vegetarian or vegan then definitely look into east and south asian cusine especially Indian you will not be disappointed.
FINALLY! U DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO VISIT MY COUNTRY. YOUR AND MARK WEINS R THE BEST. FIRST HIM NOW YOU. I AM THE HAPPIEST MAN ALIVE. HOPE U ENJOY THE FOOD MY MAN!
thats like pretty common here in india.. very often people just randomly meet on the streets and just spend the rest of the day together as if it was pre planned lol
@@NoBullFitness I don't know someone can be held legally accountable for saying out a Company slogan. Slogans cause legal problem when some other company uses the same phrase as their tagline
Savannah Denea the reason why I disagree with u is cause if he did have this as his own show he would have to have like rules or people picking the places he must go instead of doing just whatever he wants and eat anything he thinks is good or interesting to try
@@lordmonocr6206 I agree mostly but I also think he would probably get some say in where he goes, especially if it's them coming after him to make a show. If that were me that would be one of my must haves in the contract is being able to pick the places. Also I've always wondered he goes to all these fabulous places, does his youtube channel make him that much money that he can just travel all over the globe like that? If so omg that's insane!
I am filipino but man I LOVE INDIAN FOOD here in the UK, hope to go to India for the full authentic food experience! Great vid also with those 2 locals.
You might want to choose your geography of visit before planning a trip. There are on an average 5-10,000 dishes per state and each of them has a world of variation in them. So, for example, if you want to go to southern India, make a flexible plan because if you want to take the experience in, you'll need a lot of time in each state.
The amount of diversity in food in this country NEVER fails to amaze me. I'm Indian yet haven't tried half the dishes this guy tried on his trip. But that could be attributed to the fact that I've hardly ever been outside of Delhi. XD
@Faithful member of the party. Every type food is good as long as its authentic. I hated sushi when I had the store bought ones, but Japanese sushi is incredible.
Or Western vegans trying to imitate schnitzel, fish sushi, hamburger, etc. - also see the overpriced vegan brands sold everyhwere as well as the overpriced vegan buffets in hipster neighborhoods..
The biggest issue with Indian food is the excessive use of oil and butter. Paneer is pretty much cheese so obviously it's not the best thing to eat everyday. When I cook Indian food at home I barely use any oil and it still tastes really good. My point is that you can't use this video as an example of Indian food.
Hets Girl Great! The mixing of spices is an art. Retaining the original flavor of something without adding much nay be considered good by some. However, the perfect mixing of spices to create a new, exquisitely balanced, exotic flavor takes a lot of work and the skills needed for this are on a whole another level.
Unfortunately, when immigrant Chefs bring their native cuisine to other countries, they have to 'water down' the recipes to appeal to a wider audience that isn't comfortable with powerful flavor or spices. Travel does spoil your palate. The same foods at home now seem bland. Make friends with the Chef and staff and you might get something more 'authentic' that they make for themselves...
Yeah, and watch RU-vid videos of cooking recepies by native cooks with lots of followers! I watch Indian cookery videos all the time and make my own. There is a large local Indian population so getting authentic ingredients is not a problem. Also go to the restaurant that is filled with people looking for a taste of home. If an indian restaurant is full of Indians etc (or any ethnic cuisine) order what they are having!
Also another factor is ingredients. Both quality and age. Not all ingredients are added/available outside of India. Indian food is also about timing and freshness. Just baked roti out of tava(within 2 min) tastes totally different. All ingredients have to be strictly fresh, no frozen vegetables, frozen preparations. This changes flavor a lot.
When I go for Indian in Australia they always ask you if you want mild, medium or spicy. I always say I want the Indian Medium not the White people medium the wait staff always laugh and look after me. I once had the chef make special butter chicken for me from scratch because that's the way he would make it in India and it was on par with the best I've had in India. I complimented the dish to the owners who added it to the menu as "Delhi style butter chicken" and it's their best seller now. The only reason he offered was that I was having lunch at 4:30 and there was only one other table that was occupied.
My first time having Indian food was at my friends little sisters birthday party in Korea. They came from India j think for work and wow the food was spicy and amazing and oh my goodness! I’ll try just about anything at least once happily
@Qaasim Hussain Year 10 biryanis frum Iran genius. It was brought to the Indian Subcontinent (which Pak was a part of that time) by the Mongols. The Mongols created the Mughal Empire and then Biryani spread throughout the subcontinent. Try to get the facts right. Also Hyderabad is a place where mainly muslims reside so in India def OG biryani is found there. Im sure in pak all over the place you'd find great Biryani as well. My own obs is Muslims create the best Biryani ever :3 (I am an ex hindu and an ex budddhist)
The local man was awesome describing how the food is made etc. I think that it's great that a lot of western countries have restaurants with food from around the world. It's a shame when they change the recipe to accommodate local taste buds.
Amy Rivers it's not usually bc of regional tastes but not every ingredient is available to them there so they substitute. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with changing dishes since food is a thing in motion and constantly evolving.
I agree! To see what foreigners do to the sacred Swedish meatball is borderline sacreligious! The same goes for indian food here in Europe. Thankfully more and more restaurants are starting to cook more authentic food since people are getting more and more well travelled, at least here in Sweden!
Thanks for the appreciation Kerry... People are so curious and eager to help tourists that sometimes don't know how do foreigners behavior is and what recklessness we have. So that ends up looking like a harassment. But be assured... People are lovely.
As a long time viewer who also doesn't eat meat, eggs, dairy etc, I'm super happy to see you go to India, one of the best places in the world for meat-free food :)
I must say, India has some really awesome food. Really unique flavors unseen by any other culture. Then again India was built on spice and is the best in the world at it. Thank you all people of India for bringing a beautiful happiness to the mouths of the world.
I love how the viewer just had to show you more dishes and seize the opportunity of going along with you in your adventure. Plus he was so nice and natural in front of the camera, like he knew you forever
Japan has been my favorite food place Mike Chen visited, but this India trips looks promising. They just know spices like no other country, its there thing is say. And that is not to put any country's food down, there are tons of great dishes out there i love, more then indian food, but when it comes down to spice, Indian food it has a range thats so amazingly wide that makes it unique in there own way. Its so enjoyable!
Try our vegetarian food, snacks and drinks. You will never forget it - we have foods which are very lightly spiced (for children, elderly and those who are pregnant or sick) and a variety of savory to sweet to spicy foods depending on the region.
Once upon a time, India was the land the whole world was looking for. For its riches and spices. The British and other European countries were looking to create a spice route from India to trade and flavor their food...
Some envy people because they have money. Some envy people because they have fame. Well you get to eat for a living so I envy you more than anyone. Please take that as a compliment. You're living my dream
After eating every dish he says: this is greatest thing i ever eaten. This is best bite i ever had. This flavour is just awesome. I love masala, i love ingredients, this is just awesome.
Since your channel started whenever you ate something that you liked i always used to say to myself 'wait till you try authentic Indian food'... And now that you're here... Enjoy bro. Its the food capital of world. Savour every moment of it.
came here after the uncle roger incident, saw an og talk about how you were down to earth and said to check out your visits to india and pakistan. i already love this channel.
Indian food is hands down my fave cuisine. I was dying after watching your tease vids on IG. Looks like this trip was magical and I'm excited to see the rest of the vids in the series.
This is what heaven must be like. I absolutely love, love Indian food. There isn't anything that I've had that I didn't like. Mikey is right, it really is addicting
So awesome to see you in India. Still huge on my bucket list. It's so hard to find the right ingredients to make good Indian cuisine at home here in the states. I will keep trying until the day comes when I finally get to visit. Every-dang-time I see a food show about India, I see something totally new. Thanks for sharing Mikey :-)
California would be a good place to start. Due to Silicon Valley, there are a large number of Indians and as expected Indian restaurants popped up eventually (techies side jobs). They're very close to authentic Indian food so you can try it out there if you want. Next best place would be New Jersey for the same reasons. After that London has many authentic Indian restaurants.
I love the Indian food I've eaten in the US and other places, but never been to India. This all looks so delicious. I hope there's more videos here too. :) I liked the friend you had dinner with too, he was really enjoying introducing you to new foods. It's easy to see his enthusiasm. Super fun episode.
Why is India so dirty have you people no pride ? In a country of 1.3 billion you would have no problem employing road cleaners and health and safety health and hygiene officers
Every description just makes me more hungry and wanting to have that food. Just loves the way he describes food in a way that I have never seen/ heard ever before in my life just makes love his vids more and more
Yayy... My country!! I hope you have a good time in India.😄😄 And i am from the north eastern part of India, at Mizoram.😊✌ i wish you could visit here.😄😘😘
i live in mumbai and i am so glad you are here. But i really hope you go to delhi and calcutta. If its food particularly street food in india, these two are the best in my personal opinion. Can't wait till you try momos
It's definitely one of many SoBo accents. SoBo alone has way too many different types of speakers to pigeonhole them all into one kind of accent. Also, I understand your Marathi sensibilities, but it's called SoBo, not SoMu.
absolutely adore the viewer with you looks at you to ensure your enjoying it!!! so happy to see ur in india, miss my home and this video brings back so many memories!
Ok now I want to eat Indian fooood☹️💙💙 I don’t care how they serve it but loook at it all the foods are so appealing and appetising. Also I luuuv a lot of spices and herbs in my food soooo the best food I think is Indian food👌
Reply to all people complaining how horrible and underdeveloped India looks. He didn't show the other side of India that is the developed and modern part of India.India is also a developing nation with a huge population of people from different cultural backgrounds so it will take time to improve all peoples livelihood.
Sitting on Ceilings I didn't claim that India is like the USA.I am saying no need to always focus on the poor side of India by all visiting tourists and Hollywood film directors.Focus on the developed side also.That's my point.
I hope you also realize India is also the most corrupted country in the world. Yall are lucky to have leaders who actually care for the betterment and development of the country. In India he money that is supposed to be used for developing the country goes into the corrupt politicians pockets. If these politicians did their jobs properly and had the British not robbed us India would have definitely been developed ages ago.
+Sitting on Ceilings But if you take PPP terms which is more accurate then the per capita income is $7500. In Nominal GDP terms India is now the 5th largest economy of around 2.9 trillion dollars and in PPP terms it is third largest in the world with $10 trillion dollars. You won't believe but India has really developing the infrastructure, fastest in the last 8 years. Billions of dollars have been invested to improve Indian railways, Airports, Expressways, Metro trains etc. Education, Health and Sanitation. One can feel the change now. In another 10 years things will be fine. Yes the per capita income is low because of huge population.
Chandrasekara Saraswathi extreme poverty....wtf....please be more informed when u comment on something.....do you even know about purchasing power parity.....no just gdp per capita
Gosh. Indian people are soooo sweet. They will do anything for you. Dude was so awesome for rolling up on you, then taking you on a lil food journey! Super sweet amazing people. Including you, Mike.
Welcome Mikey Chan. Welcome to India. Hope you enjoy that North Indian Cusine. But India is a vast Country with many culture and Cusine. There are North Indian Cusine, South Indian Cusine and North Eastern Cusine. I recommend that you come to the North East and try out our cusine. Because it is very much different from the rest of India. If you come to the North Eastern part of India. Please visit MIZORAM. I'll treat you in my Restaurant i.e. Nazareth Cafe.
