Exploring more of the greater Seattle area where I found some amazingly tasty spicy noodles and a steam rice dish with delicious garlic ribs and Chinese sausage.
Hey guys, good morning. Welcome to another episode of driving around the greater Seattle area looking for food
That's what I'm gonna title this series
Anyway, when I moved here, I came up with a list of food places. I really really want to hit
So let's just hit them one by one
first stop
Breakfast noodles. I don't know what it is. Those two words just gives me anxiety
If you just tell me let's go have breakfast. I'd be like, yeah, all right
But if you tell me we're gonna go have breakfast noodles
Automatically tingle everywhere goosebumps
This is their nine-way noodle
They said their noodles are good and they said that this is good. So this is like a hot pot thing that they have
I'm excited to try this. So I got two different types of noodles
Super paranoid. It's got a wipe off all the containers first glance
These look like handmade noodles a little bit of chilies some pork
cilantro
Yeah, these are definitely handmade noodles for sure, I think this one is the
Chili sauce
These are the beef and chili noodles
Wow, they look so good
Beautiful stretch noodles loads of beef. You see now why I say that just breakfast alone. It's not
Enough of when you say breakfast noodles
Gets me every single time
It smells so good I'm gonna make a prediction bold prediction I might like this
Solid
Solid at least a nine out of ten. These are some beauty pageant quality noodles
Wow, I would let this represent me in the miss noodle galaxy contest
Oh, these are these are amazingly good
Temple noodles got that great shoe and the flavor is amazing. It's nummy
It's a citron based flavor a lot of you guys in the comment section
Asking me what nummy means it means like it makes your mouth or your lips like
Tingle a little bit and that sensation goes perfectly with something spicy. So it's spicy as nummy
It's very citron classic citron flavor beef is good Wow
aggressively
aggressively seasoned
Cilantro brings a nice
Bit of fragrance some extra heat is brought by these little chilies as well
This place is called Jiu Wei which in Chinese means like lingering flavor and that is a hundred percent true
I love every single thing about these noodles. Oh look at this. There's fermented bean sauce here, too
Yeah, I think they make this in-house
So this is gonna give it an extra depth of flavor some just extra umaminess, but no matter how you slurp it
These are gonna make you happy
So happy I started my day off with this
Boss off
You can't eat this. It's gonna make you chubby
After hearing that the bee left
I'm trying my pork noodles now a little bit of peanuts scallions cilantro, and I love how red all these noodle sauces are
Mmm, that's really really really good. I might like this even more
There are not shy with these sauces again loads of meat sauce covers every single strand making it all pretty
all so pretty
These are the regular
Jiu Wei noodles
You cannot go wrong with either one of these
The beef noodles are gonna be numbier and spicier, but if you can't handle the spice go ahead and get this
It's a little milder
slightly milder
But the spicy flavor is still ever so present delicious solid 9 out of 10
I don't even know what's better the springy fresh noodles or that amazingly flavorful beef sauce. Oh
So good I wanted to get their hotpot, but
They told me something that's really good to eat at home and not to eat outside
So I still want to go visit a few places. Maybe I'm on my way home. The noodles are this good I
can imagine
Hotpot must be amazing. That's perfect. Exactly what I needed. I was like 50 60 percent awake
Until that those should be called alarm needles you eat them your taste buds
Wake up your tongue. Wake up your whole body wakes up way better than that whole beep beep beep stop, right?
All right breakfast number two here we come and on the way there just a big shout out and thank you to surf shark VPN
For sponsoring this video and continuing to support my channel and I've been saying this for a while now
Especially in this day and age where everything's online. Everything is digital
You really need a VPN to protect yourself
if you don't know a VPN is a virtual private network and
I'm sure we've all experienced this where you're typing in a keyword or a brand name or something into a search engine or chatting with
A friend about it and all of a sudden on your Facebook on your browser your phone
Corresponding ad for whatever you just talked about start popping up everywhere
That's because people be spying on you
And what a VPN does is that it encrypts all the data that you're sending through the internet?
So no one is seeing anything that you don't want them to see also surf shark has hack lock IDs
So when someone is trying to get into something like your email
You're gonna get alerted right away
And finally another reason you should have VPN is the amount of video content amount of shows you will be able to access with it
I don't know if you know this but different countries Netflix has different video catalogs
so when I was traveling every single country I went to
Netflix would change but if you have the VPN you would have access to movie catalogs or show catalogs that are not
Accessible in your current country and those of you who don't live in the u.s
You can actually get a hulu account who has a lot of good stuff and finally is so affordable if you want to try out
Surf shark VPN they have a special offer if you go to the link below use my promo called Mikey Chen you're gonna get
85% off the regular price and you're gonna get three months for free and you're gonna get a 30-day money-back guarantee
So if you're not satisfied for whatever reason get your money back and go buy a bubble tea actually probably half a bubble tea
Because bubble teas are expensive now. All right. We're here at the same place. I like this little Plaza
Let me show you why I come to this Plaza like almost every other day
First of all, it's got the Asian Family Mart, which is where I do most of my shopping. I think that's the biggest
Chinese grocery store around Bellevue and I'm gonna go in there today. That's an Indian supermarket
I want to go try to find some Indian instant noodles and all around here besides the
Sharon Williams store
It's all Asian restaurants
Luna Bistro, so I walked by this place a few days ago
And I see like these bamboo steamers and they got all these like meats and that stuff in there. Let's go eat one
Restaurants pretty empty. So I'm just gonna eat here because when you eat here they serve it to you in this cool little bamboo steamer
So I did a big steamer
So I have the this is my favorite
Lapchang Chinese sausage one of my favorite things in the world and this is the spirit garlic spear ribs
And this is yeah, that's not important
This is all sitting on a bed of lotus leaves
This is good
Mmm, everything's good from the soft steamed egg
savory sweet Chinese sausage
Mmm
Garlic ribs are tremendous
My parents watched it. So I
Gotta eat some vegetables
Rice is not sticky rice. So typically if you go to dim sum, the lotus leaves are wrapped around
Sticky rice usually the chicken side
This is just jasmine rice, but the flavor with the meat and the sauce is so gratifying
And with the Chinese sausage, it's savory
It's a little sweet tons of umami flavor and the fragrance of the lotus leaf is definitely steeped into this dish
all my praises
Goes to the garlic ribs, I mean
So garlicky
So tender Oh food TV again, they gave me this this is a husband and wife of lung slices a
Really popular Chinese dish
meat meat and more meat
Love it
If this was a dating profile, you take one look be like
That thing checks up a lot of boxes. So color
Flavor aroma texture. So the ribs are soft, but the lap cha has a great shoe to it
I would definitely recommend coming and trying this. I will 100% be back. I really like this
this is kind of like eating a
Steamed version of a clay pot rice
Very happy. I've never been inside in India supermarket
Dumplings to
Coconut dumplings ramen masala
Secret I've never seen these instant noodles before
Maggie Ching noodles, I heard this is the one that someone suggested I need to try
This dude seems to be enjoying it I so excited about this
I've never tried Indian instant noodles before I'm legit like just giddy on my stomach and it's raining
Wow
Even the rain gods wants to celebrate this special occasion. There's something I've been craving. I won't be happy until I have it
Won't be happy at all
Hello
Thank you
Ice-cream tea with cream cheese foma 30% sugar less size so you can maximize the economic value
So good
This is a pizza truck and well, they got a brick oven in the middle their truck
Eating pizza in the rain
Gotta say I don't think I've ever done this before and this kind of reminds me of a Neapolitan pie
See all the little bubble crust and a little beautiful char marks on the bottom
This is really good
Hmm my only complaint a bit on the saltier end, but make no mistake
This is good pizza
I've had pizza in all the meccas of pizza like New York and Rome and Naples
This is good pizza
If it wasn't so salty, it'd be even better
But that might just be because I ordered every single meat they had on the menu
But the key thing for me is how melting your mouth this crust is this taste
Almost like a Neapolitan crust which really is supposed to dissolve in your mouth
That's so good
The crust is airy fluffy and once you get through the outside crunch seriously that thing just melts God
Ingredients are good quality. I like that little crispy part of the pepperoni
There's a good pizza
Yeah, I'm gonna give these guys a try
I wouldn't recommend getting maybe what I got because all these meats that are all salted it is a bit too salty
But and I don't often say this actually I don't think I've ever said this if you get this with less meat
It'll be better
Just got home showered changed hungry again. Let's try out those instant noodles
This is a very simplistic bowl of instant noodles. Hmm. That's definitely curry
so far
Flavors, okay
It said to add like a cup and a half of water. I feel like it's too much water
Maybe one cup of water maximum otherwise the flavor gets diluted a lot. I
Think overall flavor is good spicy curry flavor. I like that, but it does get diluted a lot by the water
So it's not really flavorful enough
noodles, I feel like
It's just a regular instant noodles. There's nothing really special about these noodles overall. I mean, it's okay
That's something I really love
Same size instant noodles kind of small. I
Added less water this time
So this is a Sichuan flavor very spicy
very very spicy
This one's much better
Maybe because I put less water here like they tell you to put a cup and a half of water
Don't do that. I say one cup of water maximum
It's very spicy, but it's not a lot of other flavors to it. So it's just kind of one-dimensional spicy
Not bad. Definitely not one of the best instant noodles I've had but I'm glad I was able to try it
This is an instant noodle that is
For sure worthy of a ice cream afterwards because it will hurt your tongue
Hmm. What a fantastic day today. Every single thing I had today was like a gift from the food gods
So amazing the first noodle place
Chill noodle so good. That was an amazing bowl of noodles and the steamed rice and rice meal
So unique never had anything like that before
Really really tasty in that piece of place until I find something better if it even exists in this area
That's my go-to piece of place now. I finished it and I already miss it
Anyway guys as always all the place I went to list it down below for you
If you can definitely go out and support your local small businesses
Keep them alive. Keep them floating give them as much support as you can during these crazy times as always
Thank you all so much for watching. See you later
