Hey guys, it's mike chen. I'm in Vancouver one of my favorite cities in the world. It's a bit chilly outside
It's a bit wet so I figured that's perfect weather for food challenge
And I'm really excited about this one because it features one of my all-time favourite food items, pad thai
I love pad thai. I just don't know if I love it enough to eat four and a half pounds of it guys
I'm so psyched for this challenge. I've prepared by eating a croissant and a donut this morning now
I don't know if that's the right thing to do, but we'll see I feel good
I feel ready so disregard what my t-shirt says, let's feed the bear
Let's head back to the kitchen size of my opponents
melanie is going to show me to my opponents two eggs go in
Oh, then [what] that's all is that all my chicken?
Oh good. God that's how that was all mine. [I] was like a whole bird over there
So how do you guys know this is going to be four and a half pounds?
Okay, so that the asian cooking style is things at four and a half pounds, so we use are real cameron real timbers
where do people usually put ketchup in that? wow didn't know that
I could smell it already that smells fantastic right now. Oh my
goodness
That's all mine?
WOW, that's like Santa Claus' bag of noodles
This is scary you guys are trying to [psyche] me out right now because is that the whole wok of noodles.
You wanted come see it, so there it is
Yeah, that [is] shrinking a little bit
I'm happy to say
But that is all that is a whole wok of noodles. For our pad thai home you have to let us know ahead of time
Yes, are you do a reservation. Which I did yep?
Yes, that's awesome, thank you very much.
So what's happening? Is that you know we have to prepare the noodle. Yes, if you come with all your friends
Yes, then we have to prepare the right amount of noodle. So yo can all go at the same time
I'm happy this is your d delicious as well, and that's going to help me a lot for [this] challenge
She seems to be like the expert pad thai chef
We're going to put some spice in it. Oh yeah, definitely definitely add the spice. I love the spice
I'm a little nervous because the chef has to use two spatulas to cook this that shows how heavy my opponent is tamarind sauce goes in
Beautiful, okay. I need to help her wow
Yeah, I mean help is needed to cook my opponent. This is not bode well for me Bean Sprouts. Love it
Give it a little nice crunch
[Spicy] here. We are yeah
oh
Yeah, oh [yeah]. Oh yeah, okay. Okay? I think that's good
I listen to you guys. Oh, I can smell the spice from here, loving it
Wow
That looks delicious
But that [bowl] is scaring me because that looks like a bowl people use the serve stuff in and not eat stuff out of it
There's still so much more [oh]
my goodness
Okay, well, I'm gonna go out there and wait for this monstrosity
[I] just sighs up my opponent and I'll be honest it's a little unnerving. I'm a little nervous now
I'm not as confident as I was before I actually saw the bikini, but I still feel good
I do I feel like this is the worst part about any food challenges waiting for my opponent to show up
I know I saw into the kitchen, but somehow they always seem to get bigger once they're on the table. I think it's here
Oh what?
Yeah, what? there's more stuff, what?
This feels like one of the dumbbells I usually curl at the gym More sprouts and carrots and a little scallion
were added after the fact and they brought me the
Homemade hot sauce in case the spice level is not enough for me
I think I'm ready no any so the rules of the pad thai challenge
is you know you have half an hour to finish the stuff, everything, if you don't finish it
You know then $30 yes, yes
But if you do finish it the pad thai is on us as well a $30 gift certificate
Obviously there are certain rules to it like, no cheating, no cheating gotcha you have [to] keep it down after you finish it
I won't explain [anymore]
[matt] okay, okay?
And you said about [1] out of [10] people have done this if I finish this so far about 10% [finish] this so far
Yes, okay. I'm ready. I am going to time you now you then yes
starting
Now! god here we go. Is so massive
That the carrots and the sprouts are kind of falling off as I'm, as I'm, eating this
Luckily I am starving
This is delicious by the way
What kind of discouraging is that I feel like I've been eating a lot
The amound of food doesn't seem like it's going down at all
This Pad thai is trying to use psychological warfare on me trying to set me up
Although it is doing a good job
Thai tea is definitely a good call, it's a bit heavy, but really kind of helps change the flavor for me a bit
That [many] [pills] pad thai [started] fight back
feels like the movie independence day where I'm firing the missiles at the Alien ship, but it's got a
[Super-Strong] Advanced Force Field here the Force field is called noodles
There's still
At least two orders of Pad Thai lefting here. I just [don't] understand is this thing like a zombie
I kill it it just keeps coming back to life
How much time left melanie left? left?Oh my God?
I think time is almost up, and I got probably another third or a quarter of this left
one
One Minute
I think that
30 minutes I think is gonna get me
If only I had more time! that's why I need a time machine. I would use it only for food challenges.
Thumbs up oh my goodnes. There's no Moral victory here
unfortunately
There's only loss
But you know what - how long it takes me to finish this, i'll finish it
I'm - keep going and see how long it takes me
OK, do you want me to time you up?
Sure, let's do it
How'd I do?
Wow
There you go guys finished it within an hour. [oh]
but time up was 30 minutes, so
In this epic battle of Mike versus food
This pad thai I kicked my butt. It was a worthy opponent. It was delicious. It was also very filling
I feel like my hair is like turning into pad thai and now this bear is fed
It's got to go hibernate
[all] right guys if you want to come and check this place out and take this challenge all the information is in my description box
Well, thank you all so much for watching
See you all later
