- Hey, I'm Awkwafina. And this is everything I eat in a day First thing I do when I wake up, I will kind of rub my eyes
and then I'll do a star, what I call a starfish. Oh yeah, one of those. It's usually a mixed bag with eating first thing in the morning. If there was a bag of
Raisinets, let's say, from the night before, I'll sometimes be that person who like, before I even open my eyes, like, a hand's going in
there and it's shoveling in. Or I could have like, an entire
pot roast at like 7:00 AM. Like, I'm one of those people, or I don't eat until 4:00 PM. It's really either/or. Like, I'm literally
not hungry till 4:00 PM or like, I will eat an entire
south of the border casserole in entire sitting. I recently tried to reincorporate
coffee into my life. And when I was young in high
school, we'd go to a diner. And my friends would feed me coffee with like 17 sugars in them. And they'd just laugh because
it was just a lot of energy. But then I'd have to go home on the subway like, alone with that come down. I'm not saying my body doesn't like it. I don't like what it does to my body. I feel like somebody that's very intense. I feel like I'm tripping. And then sometimes you don't expect tea to have as much caffeine as coffee, that's like, you know what you think. So then you have like
six glasses of PG tips and then everything is purple. My typical breakfast is something
that is just really easy that doesn't need heat, like a Gatorade, some kind of chicken nugget. Also avocado, man. You don't gotta do anything to it, you don't even have, you honestly, can just bite through an
avocado like an apple, which I've done. Not recommended, but avocados, man, those are room temp goddesses. After breakfast, you know, depending on if I'm working or not, if I'm not working and I'm home I like to just like, honestly,
stay in bed for a while. I'll just go right back to bed. And I've been doing this thing where like, if I'll get lunch, I'll
order some lunch maybe. But once I put in the
order, I'll start snacking. And so then I'll eat like a meal while I wait for the delivery. That's what, how I spend my afternoons. I get very hangry. Yeah, it's like a
totally different person. I'm very easy going very,
hey, how are you, oh my god, I'm so sorry about this, you
know, the surgery on your legs. But when I'm hangry it's
like, y'all need to leave. You need to leave. You thought I was nice, but
really I hate your bangs. I think they look like (beep). A typical lunch for me can be anywhere from a
turkey sandwich to catnip. There are a lot of people that are like, I ate a yogurt for lunch, and it's like, wait, you want an award? You think you're awesome? I'm not one of those
people that it's like, you eat spaghetti and
meatballs at 3:00 AM? I'll eat spaghetti and
meatballs at 9:00 AM, dude. My dinner, so sometimes like, you know, lunch and breakfast, those can be couple hard boiled eggs four hard boiled eggs,
was wrong with that? Some ranch. But dinner, that's the meal
where absolutely no yogurt. You know what I mean? Like, you can't have a yogurt for dinner. My dinners, they're humongous. That's like a Costco chicken, right? The entire chicken, right? And then you put that with all kinds of Annie's mac and cheese and all kinds, I'll eat all kinds of things for dinner. Except for yogurt. When I was little my grandparents
owned a Chinese restaurant and I was go in the back and, you know, steal fortune cookies or whatnot. But one time there was like,
this basin of pure MSG. And I put my hand in it and I put the whole thing in my, I ate the whole thing of
MSG, the whole handful. And my tongue swelled up
to the size of a raisin. I'm still thirsty from that experience. Oh man, my favorite food city, I mean, New York City, obviously. Because New York City is
like the the city that kind of prepares you for the food cities. So like, when you go to a food city you, oh, I kinda had this back
in New York, you know? I always talk about this place 'cause it's actually the best place ever. It's called Taiwanese Gourmet. It's in Queens on Elmhurst and it's basically a Taiwanese diner. Like, it's open until
all hours of the night But they do everything
from like stinky tofu, like, beef noodle soup. It's so good. Y'all gotta go, it's so good. Aside from that, I really enjoyed the food when I went to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. They had this dish called Hai Nam chicken and there's another dish called roti canai I like, am obsessed with. KL was definitely a cool food city for me. My go-to comfort meal, my grandma makes this
thing in a rice cooker that I've eaten since I was really little. It's a Chinese sausage and it
kind of cooks with the rice and enflavorates the rice. But I also like, like '90s kids things, like Zebra Stripe gum, or Kid Cuisine, or like, Dunkaroos. I always feel like, I dunno,
those things bring me comfort. I don't know why. I'm down with the late night snacking. Sometimes I'll brush my teeth
and be like, I want candies. I can say, yeah. What I did the other night was I really wanted a cookie and didn't have any at the time. So I had an Oreo box
with crumbs at the bottom and I put all the crumbs in my hand and I kind of like just
shaped it into a cookie and didn't work. (laughing) And that's everything I eat in a day! Thank you so much for watching. Appreciate. (upbeat music)
