" maybe we ARE vampires! We hate the sun, we're all really pale, we love blood, and every time we encounter a racist they scream something about bats!" mike, you successfully made me choke on my dinner, congrats. XD
I’m white lol and I always get the mini tub when I go to the super H mart (big Korean & Asian supermarket) because I literally put kimichi on everything lol 😂 and eat it almost every other day. Mannn, I’ll eat it with rotisserie chicken, rice, steak, in eggs scrambled, on pizza, with pork, with ramen 🤤😩 or sometimes I’ll just eat some out the jar. Idk, I really love it. It’s really good for you, probiotics and for your intestines. It helps your digestive tract. But I love other kimchi’s too, like cucumber kimchi, radish kimchi, chive kimchi 🤤🥰 man I’m hungry. Lol
Cass F there are two yes but they are teeny tiny like convienience store size....better to go to Nations Fresh for Asian food they just aren’t as specialized in Korean food, like I live in Hamilton and I can’t find premade gimbab or Korean fried chicken anywhere and went hoping the H mart was good but it was tiny.
TaureanKing some countries still have severe numbers of COVID-19 mate. Like my country, many (not all) people don’t listen and just go out and not practice social distancing.
I just moved to Maryland and HMart is my main place to grocery shop. I've changed my whole way of cooking. Korean food is one of the BEST! The flavors are insane! I really want to try fishcakes soon. Thanks for this video.
The thing about fish cakes is that the diversity is kinda double edged: yes, there are types suitable for chicken soup, fish soup, tteokbeokki, pho, ramen, and straight up boiled, but a fish cake that is good for one dish may not be good for another. That said, when you know the 🍢 is good, it’s fucking delectable. And you might not even need to go to HMart to get it, any local JP supermarket should sport a frozen section with good fish cakes. (You will need to defrost and boil them yourself, though, and even possibly slice them)
I feel like Hispanics and Asians are similar when it comes to eating certain parts of the animal body. I grew up eating pig's ear, liver, blood sausage, pig trotters, all that good stuff. We just make them different.
China gave the world COVID-19. It probably came from the lab in Wuhan. The disgusting wet markets are another matter. I am a fellow human being and your government has destroyed my source of existence after 32 years. I guess you're proud having never met me and knowing nothing about me....have you never imagined a Friend beyond your borders...so sad.
I missed your videos Mike! I'm proud of your success! As a Korean, you don't have to eat Kimbap with sauce. It's supposed to be eaten by itself. I grew up sometimes eating it with Sriracha or hoisin sauce. You surprised me eating the Soon-dae and pork with all that salt seasoning. A small dab is enough. I love you Mike!
Omg I never knew those were called Korean pears ! When I was smaller my grandma accidentally walked into a small Korean store and got some of those and I loved them so much they’re so juicy and so soft at the same time they just melt in your mouth! She’d get them for me often until that store closed down and I never got them again because I didn’t even know what they were I just thought it was some sort of apple pear thing only they had but now I know !
The deli food is made from my mom! Shes the manager there at that lynnwood location. Her secret korean fried chicken sauce recipe. I might teach you it :]] Im glad you enjoyed it
This video was the equivalent of a hug. I really enjoy the energy you put out! Also, my grandpa raised me on keishka, which is a variation of blood sausage
I love Korean food so much almost any Asian food really. It IS SO satisfying especially dumplings, fire udon, anything pickled, and the trotters Oh so good! There is a Korean market 3 minutes from my house. We like to buy stuff and just try it. I have to explore a little more. My husband has actually been to Korea when he was single in the military. I never made it there when I was in, but he has had the real deal in Korea.. You make everything seem so yummy by your excitement!
I swear on everything everytime you upload I have to run out n get myself some sushi and noodles.. I just ordered me some. Its like Mike says "Hey! I'm eating!" And my stomach says "and I'm NOT?!?!"

They just opened up a H Mart here in Mesa Az and it is amazing!!! I love in an area where there are several different types of Asian markets and it’s a treat! I’ve gotten several different ramen from there and tried things I’ve never had before and fell in love with Boba and pastries and noodles and fruit!
I just love how so much asian food is super delicious and has SO many veggies and they just know so well how to use those veggies to make it all taste so amazing
Hey Mikey. The literal translation of kimbap is "seaweed rice" which mistakenly alot of folks think of them as a Korean "sushi" roll. In fact both are not prepped or taste even remotely the same hence why you'll never find soy sauce/wasabi offered with kimbap. The main characteristics of kimpap is the densely pack rice roll filled with whatever filling (usually beef or imitation crab meat, carrots, spinach, pickled diakon radish in the States) and a generous amount of sesame oil on the outside. The whole thing is basically a self contained flavored roll (strong sesame oil flavor) with a dense texture (especially on the rice). The most important ingredients personally is the pickled daikon radish should be 1/4 of the entire of the entire inner filling ingrediants to provide much needed acidity and a contrasting texture crunch. That being said they are a childhood nostalgia and perfect food (often wrapped in aluminum) for a picnic or food on the go. The reason for their popularity in Korea is you can get a massive kimbap roll for $1. Also in Korea they have many different filling such as canned tuna, kimchi, and even cheese. TDLR - Don't mistakenly think Kimbap is a "sushi" roll. Think of it as a dense rice roll and you may like it (but most people won't) 😂😃
Several years ago I was at an Asian grocery and I thought it was weird that they had sushi rolls that were just, out there by the front counter and not refrigerated. I did end up trying it, and it was good. Now I know what it is.
I had always thought of kimbap as a Korean sushi roll, and I am glad to have been corrected! Thank you for the info! I do enjoy kimbap as well as sushi, and that explains the different flavor profiles, so again, thank you!
No joke, every time I go to the kimchi section of a H Mart, I salivate. Everything looks so good and when I bring it home, it's just as delicious as I imagined it to be ^_^
Omg, this H mart is literally five minutes' drive from my house and I go there every weekend. My husband and I would be delighted to host your next dumpling/ Noodle section so we can try more varieties. We usually hit 85 Degree across the street and Shared Tea (the best milk tea in Lynnwood) after the H Mart run. BTW, I put the fried mackerel into the fish stew. The mackerel is tender, juicy and flavourful!
I always love the content on this channel. What sets Mike Chen apart from other youtubers is that he always appreciates the culture and not just the food.
I love H Mart! We also have another Korean mega store called Assi Plaza. I love learning about new foods. I'm half Italian and half Vietnamese. Both sides have great cuisines, but I love discovering new cuisines.
I love the passion he has when talking about all the food he is eating it just makes me want to try all of it out. Keep up that passion my guy cause it's working.
I think he has a channel tho? Ive heard someone say thats where he put his hot oil recipe, maybe cook with mikey? Yeah that was the one, you can search it up he has over 50 recipes there I think
They're one of the many local markets here, and I love stopping in when I'm in the area! I'm always pleasantly surprised by what new goodies I find here at each visit
I just went to an HMART for the first time in Texas and i thought i was in heaven but watching your video, i wish my first experience was at your HMART bc i would’ve never left. Your local HMART is huge& has soo many choices to pick from, I’m so jealous! Everything looks soo goood!
I wonder if Mikey knows how cute he really is, especially when he gets excited. No, this is NOT a "come on or pick up" line. He just gets so innocently and adorably excited. 😊💜❤
I love Hmart so organized and clean, at least in our area. I hope they never changed. At my store, They have Korean supervisors walking around in each department checking and making sure everything is perfect and stocked.
Thank you for the positivity during this challenging time!!! Can’t wait to try the yakult soda- cheers! This is giving me so many ideas I cannot wait to try!
Great H-Mart episode! You’ve shown me so much Korean food that I haven’t had since I left Korea in 1999. I’ve craved the Pigs Feet from Namdaemun and now I’ll look for them at the H-Mart in Plano. Looking forward to you episode on Dumplings!
I love H mart - and I also have a Zion Market both within 5 miles of my house. During the being of lock down H mart have everything a I needed Toilet Paper, Water, Meat H-mart had my back
@@reinulf656 You actually have, but only in major cities like Hamburg. There are several huge asian supermarkets with all kinds of stuff. Obv. not as big and great like this but still :D
M e too! Just that h mart is a longer drive...like 20 minutes. I don’t know about you but in my Zion market there is a furai chicken food shop in the food court and it tastes amazing!
Okay but is no one gonna talk about Mikey's choice of music lately?? They really be boppin and I ain't even mad at them. Love how he knows when to turn em up and lower them. Great job Mikey!! 🥰🥰
The montage of the shopping inside h-mart was amazing. I only have small family owned korean markets in my city. And every time I go I already spend way to much. I couldn’t imagine what I’d spend there🤯😳
I've been taking my husband to asian markets al lover the Houston /katy tx area. His favorite market is the H mart in katy tx so far ,they always have something going on last time i was able to shop alone without him touching everything because they were having a small K-pop concert that kept him entertained lol.
"everytime we encounter a racist they scream something about bats" 😂😂😂😂 it's like you're a vampire that has no clue he's a vampire HAHAHA 😂😂😂 I need food everytime I watch your videos lol
H-Mart? Really! How cool. Wish we had this up in Canada! I absolutely love your grocery store food reviews! This one was awesome.. especially the ready-made food section! Great job Mike!
I've been looking for that electric grill for so long! Glad to finally know the name of it. But... I couldn't help but notice that the box actually said, "Haemaru Electric *Flying* Pan"... ( 5:42) Does that extra functionality make it more expensive?
I’m not a huge fan of Kimbap in general, funny enough, not the HMart one, either, but at least they’re *consistent*. The real value in kimbap, though, lies in piling that fucker high with ground marinated beef, julienne cucumber, surimi crab, shredded omelette, burdock, julienned carrot, wasabi, gochujang, and sesame oil.
I love garlic too. Garlic everything. I even like the garlic smell on breath. Yes. I'm odd. I do think garlic keep a person younger looking tho. My family can never have enough garlic on my mom's side. And they all look 20 to 30 years younger than their age.
I’m just amazed at how you’re able to go through the store & buy anything you want without having to look at the price. I’m not bashing you I’ve just never had that ability before & have no idea how it feels. I’m from Appalachia (the poorest part of America) though & that’s probably why.
Wishing my stepdad was still alive. He’d be all up for a road trip to check that H-Mart out! I swear he’d act the same way as Mike! Thanks for another great video!
