Today we try 3 Michelin star Chinese food! After we filmed with David Beckham in Macao for Korean Englishman we were gutted to not have time to try the local food, so when the Macao Government Tourism Office invited us back we could hardly say no! Get ready for a Jolly culinary adventure like you’ve never seen before, from hole-in-the-wall hidden gems to the most exclusive special access we’ve ever had!!
Thanks to MGTO for sponsoring this episode and to Jade Dragon for letting us and the team film such an incredible meal. You can check them out below:

Ollie has such an unbelievable knack of bringing these fancy things back down to earth. I think it's a super power.
"It's like subway" dead
@@Jais0910exactly! Absolutely kills me 😂
@FrecklyJon Hadn't seen the Ollie face picture emoji!!!!!! LOVE
Agreed ^^ absolute comedy genius
“Feel like a Jedi” 😂😂
“Jokes on Michelin because we didn’t even drive here, we flew…” had me literally DYING 😂
Literally.... how are you typing this? 😜
Airplanes do use tires and yes Michelin does make airplane tires so there’s a chance they went on a plane with Michelin tires.
@@Bobspineable😂
it's like something that Ollie would say, totally wasn't expecting it from Josh 😂
@modgal my thoughts exactly! 😄
It's called the swimbladder, though, and it's definitely not what Josh and Ollie were thinking. It's literally a waterproof balloon that has air in it and it helps the fish control its buoyancy and to right itself rather than falling flat or flipping upside down. It is just a very clean air sac, slightly chewy, very flavorful.
Yes, I was thinking the same. And nobody cleared up the misconception. 😂
I was def thinking normal bladder as well thanks for the info 😂
I was just coming to post this clarification too. People seem to never clarify that they mean an air bladder when they're talking about "fish bladder."
Fish maw soup is good! Kind of blows my mind to see it separated from the soup as I’ve always had it together.
Thanks Dr. Dolittle
As an Aussie, Ollie’s lobster had me rolling 😂 that 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 was on point
Was it Moreton Bay bug that they were calling lobster?
he did the accent so well!! 😂
@@harrymorley9743 No it was Australian crayfish (called lobster.) Probably from Western Australia.
Yep, leave it to Ollie to anthropomorphize the food. And give it an accent.
@@weenie9789 Yeah, people always try to go too far with accents when in most cases they are much more subtle.
Jolly in suits is always a sign for QUALITY CONTENT
FRR THOUGH
I just remember all the streamer that wears suit on stream only to stand up
Donghae!
always
Kind of reminds me of Lloyd and Harry…if you know, you know.
I love how Ollie always processes food with his face, as if there's some frontal cortex trigger that makes his face spasm. The more it moves, the more complex a dish is.
His eyes go zoop as he opens his mouth
Agreed!
He's a real life cartoon character 🥰
@@gaurav.upadhyayAnd, as he tastes it, his eyes roll to the back of his head.😅 😋
@@bodyofhope That's funny, cuz as a Brit he doesn't seem like a cartoon character to me, but I do see American youth of this age like cute cartoon characters and often think that British people would like to mass produce them and sell them in their toy stores. Perhaps we're more alive to each others subtle differences as Americans and British and this gives a sureal and vivid quality to our perceptions of each other, a bit like a cartoon character.
Yep, your dad is watching (while in the gym) and he is very jealous... Feeling the need to go get some dimsum now, especially as it's Mid-Autumn Festival...
Hi Josh's Dad! I hope your dim sum was good!
Hi Josh's Dad! I hope your dim sum was good!
Hello sir hope the dimsum was good
Yep Josh, your Mum's jealous too!
Maybe time for Josh to take his parents on another tour, eh?
Josh : I need to share this with someone Ollie : I'm...right here That made me snort 😂😂
wrggg
Josh: "I've got to share this with someone." Ollie (whispers): "Im right here Josh." 😂😂😂
Was absolutely howling at that.
It might be a misconception but thinking of what we have heard the etiquette is like while people dine in Michelin starred restaurants, especially one with 3 stars, I'm sure attending to these two gentlemen who behave like kids yet also just genuinely enjoy their food with such astonishment and joy must have been so refreshing for the staff there.
i think just enjoy it as much as you how want, but without the arse-ness of certain categories of patrons if you get me.
What a nice observation and nice to share-it’s interaction I experience a lot with these two Just fun….
If I know anything about working the floor of a restaurant, its that they appreciate immature but gracious guests who are enjoying the food over rich people who get every little piece of etiquette right but treat the staff like dirt. Etiquette is absolutely secondary to both treating the staff like humans and enjoying the experience.
Michelin restaurants these days are getting very hipster too. I mean, could you imagine Zuckerberg, Musk or Trump eating with old school etiquette?
wrggg
i love that woman who brought the food. she was so nice, helpful and had an inviting air about her. i liked how she wasnt stone faced and to serious.
So proud of you guys, even getting sponsored by Macao gov, not just Korean. Such a wonderful addition to the Michelin Madness series! You made me go through all the old Michelin takeaway videos again! 🥹😍😇🥰😋
Ollie's Aussie accent is quite impressive
Sorry to tell you this but Ollie is not Australian he’s from England !
@@wendykeyes7172I think they know? He did an Australian accent about 11:45 into the video?
@@wendykeyes7172 I mean that's why it'd be impressive right....
Oh god, some people should have the ability to comment removed lol @@wendykeyes7172
I love the confusion of the term "bladder" - obviously theyre thinking "urinary bladder" but in actuality its a sack filled with air (think bladder inside a football etc) that allows the fish to control it's depth. Its also this organ that prevents you from returning deep sea fish to the sea - because the pressure difference between where the fish was caught and the surface is enough for the air inside the bladder to expand so much that the bladder ruptures and the fish dies.
I love that they never forget their crew. Luke getting to experience all this with them for the first time is always so heartwarming
Shout out as well to Grey who help them out describing the food and the proper way to eat them. I feel like she's a Filipina.
im thinking the same
Yeah, same here, I can hear it with the way she pronounced "sago"
Exactly! The staff contributes to the M star process too, not just the chefs
Can confirm that she is. Source: am Filipino
She is Filipina. She's my sister in law. Proud moments here ❤❤❤
I love it when you bring your crew into the mix. It's downright mean to not include them. And their response is just as priceless. Keep working until you need a gym break.
Michelin dining is truly an EXPERIENCE, not just a meal. Josh is completely right when he describes it as interactive art. EVERY one of the senses is utilized. ❤️🍽️
I would not trust a tire company when it comes to food. So many times they had to retract a michellin award because people did not like what they ate at a michellin restaurant and felt there are way better chefs out there. This restaurant does look really good though.
except for hearing right
Even hearing. One is generally given a verbal description of each course (with all the linguistic embellishments) as well as the pouring of wine, the sounds of knife and fork, a sizzle here, an excited exclamation there... LOL!
@@blardymunggas6884 As always, it still comes down to research, but Michelin is a good starting point of you're looking for that kind of experience.
„That lobster is in an undignified position.“ Followed by vocalised snippets of the internal struggles of said poor lobster. That part took me out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
10:25 Ollie telling Josh "son im proud of you" is one of the most heartwarming moments on the channel
You’ve Josh looking amazed with everything and then the 101 emotions that cross Ollie’s face in about 2 seconds 😂😂
as a Chinese person in Malaysia that grew up eating food made from many of these same ingredients, have to say that I'm proud and excited that you guys finally get to have a taste of chinese delicacies. There's such a diverse range of flavours and textures to experience that are unlike anything else.
Jolly needs to come to Malaysia and try our street food, mamaks, kopitiams, warongs, a hodgepodge of flavours! They will love it!
Same here....so proud
@@WinnieLuthienThye I think ASEAN tourism boards all need to take notice...
Agreed, come to Malaysia!
I agree, but I also disagree. I've been watching so many Chinese food vloggers and travelers etc. and except for the occasional high-end restaurant nothing I've ever seen before is like this. AKA - another high-end restaurant with small portions that just comes off as pretentious food to "regular" people who will probably never be able to eat there. Know what I mean? Chinese cuisine is SO varied and incredible (I also studied it for a semester at the Culinary Institute of America, along with Korean cuisine) with the vast array of ingredients and textures and everything in between. Hell, one city over in a different province uses the same ingredients in completely different ways. Look at silken tofu, in the North of China it is a salty dish, in the South of China it is a sweet dish. I love that kind of variation. :D
“The artist makes it, and then you destroy it with your teeth.” Well said Ollie, well said. 😂
If you're interested, the thing with Sichuan pepper is that it has no piperine or capsaicin that gives spice to black and red peppers and that trick your receptors for hot and pain, but it has hydroxy-alpha-sanshool that actually blocks the receptors of light touch!
So analgesic qualities. Yeah I would not categorize Sichuan peppercorn as “spicy,” since it does not hurt at all.
When I get to a dictionary...this will make sense I'm sure.
Great timing uploading this on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival! 中秋快乐! Jolly Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone who celebrates!
Thank you! 🥰
yess! I was so happy! I just finished eating mooncakes and dumplings with family haha. This video is an excellent way for me to end my day😄
Oh true, timing! Maybe bc they celebrate Cheseok 🎑 Had a delicious Chinese dinner with family then moon cake 🀄🥮 so not feeling tooo bad watching this. 😄
I love that Josh needs someone to share his good food bites with. I just adore these 2 young men 😂👍🩷
And Ollie’s “I’m right here…” killed me!
5:48 Ollie is the epitome of that saying "can't take them anywhere" 😂 I mean I'd take him everywhere because who couldn't use more hilarity in their life? But he is also truly ridiculous 😂
@5:12 “I need to share this with someone" Ollie "Im right here". Had me literally dying 😂
Wow, the Michelin joke Josh made really felt like a top tier Ollie comment and it was perfect. 😂
One of the best parts of watching your videos, guys, is that you're so very respectfully irreverent. You laugh all the time, crack jokes, and seem like you're having the best time. It's absolutely amazing, it draws the viewer in and makes it feel like we're there with you. Keep doing what you're doing!
The suits, the decor, the food 🎑✨ the Jedi sanitizer! 😂 Also, Beckham being the spark for the making of this video! 👏 It's a Jolly good show #TheWorldsYourOyster #ButOllieHasHistoryOfNotBeingImpressedWithIt
Also, props to the Filipina waiting staff that you guys had. ❤❤❤
Loving how much Olly's face gives away when he doesn't like something! 😂😂
Ollie never ceases to amaze me with his descriptions of food. That lobster sentence was hilarious
during quarantine i started dreading meals cuz i was v isolated and eating alone reminded me how lonely i felt. i found ur videos and i put one on every dinner so that i had ppl to eat with and now i always look forward to ur new videos and im excited about food again so thank u x
Josh: I need to share it with somebody Ollie: …. I’m right here 😭
0:37 Mr.Z really did Ollie dirty on that scene LMAO
I love josh' first bite like he's intoxicated with the flavors and olly's facial expressions, like we're not sure whether he will vomit or enjoy.
Ollie is extra funny whenever he's in a Michelin star restaurant.
What a beautiful father-son moment
I think an entire episode with the entire team of jolly giving us behind the scene chaos and reacting to the videos would be phenomenalll!!!!!!!(you can just put the camera on auto focus or something so everyone even behind the camera can be on cameraa)
Thought Rosemary was going to lose that fish bladder. Ollie has perfect timing!
I really love how respectful you guys are of different cuisines
I appreciate her helping you eat it correctly.
You guys could go to a bad restaurant and Josh would still say "That might be the BEST bad food I've ever had" 😂
😂 😂 😂
I can hear the wheels turning when I watch Ollie analyze the food that he is eating! 😂
As a Macanese, I am so glad you guys finally visited my home town!
Whoever is choosing the music for these videos needs to get a raise. Right now.
Another episode of “Luke, you need to try this” 😂😂
Olli goes to 3 star restaurant and says "its like a subway" 😂😂😂❤
I love Ollie's jacket! Never scared to be the outstanding one!
As an Aussie, that Aussie accent attempt absolutely rattled me ahaha
Only recently discovered you guys and have binged most of it now including Korean Englishman and have to say, your friendship and chemistry is unmatched. Hearing Josh speak Korean is so impressive. Ollie's facial expressions are the absolute funniest going. Such wholesome content, and love seeing the episodes involving Gabbie and Juno. Ollie I have no idea how you did that bungee jump, I also hate heights and could not do it. Congratulations on your success and I wish you bigger and better things in the future 🙏
Josh is how we hope we'll act when trying new food. Ollie is probably how we'll actually act😂
😂
So true! 😂😂
11:43 HAHA he’s nailed the accent
Nothing but the best service from a Filipino. Good job, Grey!
Huh, makes sense.
Called it! I was waiting for her to say “Sago” in our pronounciation 😂
Ollie became Josh's "dad" in this episode amused me. And I like it!
It's interesting how Josh start testing with wondering expression and then move to amazing one, but Ollie start with horrified expression like he is scared to have a food poison and the move to loving what he just eat 😂😂❤️
6:07 "im getting maw and maw excited" sorry my humor is broken
Ollie’s childhood innocence in these videos are what make it for me. Absolutely the best! 😂
0:26 “Can I have Peking Duck with Mint Mayo on Wholegrain bread, please?”
7:11 Josh says they didn't drive so Michelin didn't benefit from the guide, fun fact they make plane tyres too so you contributed in one way or another
3:41 I’m so happy we know this information. Also, the expressions after? Priceless.
@10:51 “it’s amazing to experience this as a father and son. This is a memorable moment. The last time I was this happy was the day you were born” 😂😂
Everytime I watch these Michelin videos I think about when they were trying MREs from around the world and now they are up there trying some of the best food in the world. What a journey.
I be seeing Pinoys everywhere. 😊😊 I just love it when a fellow countrymen works in a very established institution.
Ollie is absolutely amazing. I cannot stop laughing at his facial expressions. When he loves it & when he hates it. Such a pure soul. Then you have Josh.. his laugh is the most infectious sound i've ever heard in my LIFE! You are both so bloody awesome. In a world full of fuckery... you are both just so beautiful & wholesome. Thank you so much for Jolly. It's the absolute best thing on the internet. ❤
2:00 Woah, Imagine ordering this for your cat's dinner. Sweet mother meow.
I think the magic of this channel is that Josh and Ollie do things that most of us will never have the opportunity to do. I doubt many viewers will ever eat at a Michelin star restaurant, let alone one with three stars. Most of us will never set foot in Macau or many of the places they visit. However, we get to do these things vicariously by watching them. It's a bit like sitting at the table with a couple of goofy friends who are truly enjoying themselves. Actually, it's more like we're part of the crew who get to watch them eat. We just don't have to hold a camera or worry about the sound and lighting. :)
I think I've seen about every video ya'll have done & you just get better with time! Always eagerly looking forward to the next one. Love from Memphis, Tennessee, USA!
LOL @ Josh: "I need to share this with somebody". Ollie: "I'm right here!".
“I..I’m right here” Got me dying 😭
I haven't heard Josh say "This is the best thing I have ever had" in a while.
I’m eating a bowl of shredded wheat watching this. 🥲
Josh: "Try this Luke, I need to share this (maw) with somebody!" Ollie: "I'm right here." Josh: lol... 😶
"Joke's on Michelin, we didn't even drive here..." 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I laugh through every video with Josh and Ollie. These two guys are hilarious and they are awesome 🤗❤️
Ollie is just such an unrefined eater...I'm here for it 😅
“Son I’m proud of you” LMAO 😂
I love seeing your genuine reaction to the foods y'all eat.
Hi Josh and Ollie, I love your channel and you guys sharing and trying food around the world! Also, you guys are so funny and amazing! Keep up the great work and putting out great content!
I’ve been watching Jolly and Korean Englishmen videos almost none stop the last few days and I am honestly praising the LORD for Ollie. I have laughed so hard because of you Ollie, honestly thank God for you.
An out-of-this world experience on your senses! Awesome!!!! 👍 Love this video, as I will share it for my family.
I have recently found your channel and I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying my time, to experience along with you all the amazing things you have shared with your viewers. I love all your content and you both bring so much joy for myself personally and others..... Ever grateful from a very small town in rural Ontario Canada......
I love how Josh has the need to share his food with Luke/someone, it's so cute :'))
That's the first time I've seen Ollie truly enjoy a meal from start to finish. Great looking Chinese meal
The lady serving the food looks like a Filipino👍 Food looks really good and delicious.
This looks SO good and I smiled so wide while watching this. I love your content!
I just know that Grey is Filipino. Hehe. Kabayan!
I live vicariously through your gastronomy. What fun that meal seemed.
I freaking love Ollie! He had me at “I feel like a Jedi” and “Im right here” hahahaha
Just what I needed. Enjoy you both so much! Thank you for another wonderful video.❤
The subtitles, as usual, are impeccable👌✨
Just make sure you get him to eat this Michelin foods, he deserves it, since he raised you. I would love to watch your dad and holly's dad eating what you ate.
I love their reactions, and how they are enjoying the food...
I can almost definitely say the lady server is a filipina. I love knowing that she works in a 3 Michelin star restaurant and in the big leagues of culinary service.
I’ve been to A.Womg in London recently. 2 michelin star restaurant. I’ll take some notes from your video when I will edit mine 🙏🏻 what a high quality
Very good Aussie lobster vocal impersonation! Did I miss the reaction to the soup? Rarely for Jolly, the suits were almost overwhelmed by the occasion - just keep practising, guys!
Watching Jolly having Chinese food makes me really happy as a Chinese audience
You guys are my favorite KZheadrs. I have loved every video I have seen. Please keep making these!
