today's my birthday, I turn 37.

You know what I got for my birthday?

An ingrown hair.

No, for real, what I got from Martina,

I got this cool little scratcher map,

so we can scratch off all the countries that we went to,

'cause we've been to a lot of countries, this is amazing.

My ducky is very sweet,

and you know what else she set up for me?

So, when I come downstairs in the morning,

I had...

You see that?

She put all this tinsel?

Is it called tinsel?

What is this called?

Arts and crafts girl, what's this called?

My ducky doesn't want me to vlog this anymore.

Martina hates when these, you ready?

Wee!

Happy birthday to me!

Oh (sheep bleating) I got tangled.

Oh my sweet girl, I'm gonna cry,

she made me a little breakfast bento

look, you have the little toothpicks on there.

Ducky, this is amazing!

It's such a small toothpick!

Oh my God, Ducky come here, beautiful girl.

We are now on our way to-- - Shinjuku-eki.

- And then where are we going from there?

- Well I'm not gonna tell you,

when you're trying to put me on camera

but I'm not gonna do it to you.

- It's a surprise.

- But I did just get an alert saying that there is a delay,

because there's some kind of an accident between Harajuku,

and Shinjuku, and Shibuya-eki,

so hopefully we'll make it to Shinjuku.

- Oh.

- We have to get there by 3:30.

- Is it ram, oh my gosh, look at that,

I should not have zoomed in. - Oh wow.

- Tell me where we're going, answer me!

- No.

- One of the big things for our birthdays

that we always do--

(Martina speaking in a foreign language)

Is we always have to try to surprise each other

on our birthdays.

It happened for, Martina mentioned it once,

at the beginning of our relationship,

and we've been doing it ever since.

- When will it stop?

- When will it stop?

So much work. - Please,

I'm tired of it, no more.

Blue Bottle Coffee's here,

I was so excited when it finally came,

and then I realized it was a nightmare

because Shinjuku Station always sucks,

and it's always filled with 97 people with no tables.

- True.

- There's other good coffee shops,

which you're gonna find out in this video later on,

but Simon doesn't know (vocalizing).

- Ah, so we're going to a nice coffee shop!

- [Martina] Not right now, but it's a hint.

- Oh!

- [Martina] Eat that hint.

- I just had to turn on the camera, Martina, tell me more.

- No.

- [Simon] Spill your guts.

- No.

So there are a bunch of shops that, hey wait a second!

- Martina's telling me more!

- Did you have that on the whole time?

Seriously? - I did.

You just turn on the camera and she confesses all.

Tell me your deepest darkest secrets.

- [Martina] No.

- [Simon] What else are you hiding from me?

- Uh BTS'-- - Oh my God,

are you (duck quacks) crazy?

This is my birthday, now it's my death day!

- No, no, stop.

(light bouncy music)

- We have finally arrived at the location, we are at...

I'm not sure yet.

What?

- The last order's, shoot.

- At three? - It wasn't on the website,

it said that it closes at 3:30,

but I thought the last order would be 3:30

'cause they usually close at four.

- Gotcha.

- But they close at three. - Ah it's alright.

- Shoot, darn, and dang it.

- Well there's lots of other cool stuff

we saw on the way.

- [Martina] So, 11:30 to 2:30, the last order's at three.

- [Simon] Well we learned something new about restaurants.

- Well we didn't--

- [Simon] If you ever see a sign about when it closes--

- Give it half an hour.

- [Simon] Yeah give it half an hour.

- We did a video on food, remember?

We talked about looking at orders and stuff,

we've talked about how many times

we've been bamboozled by it but it's never caught on camera.

Oh, I have a second back up.

- Oh! - But she didn't,

she searches wildly on her map that she's pinned from before

knowing that near everything is closed,

now that it nears 3:30.

(light bouncy music)

Okay, we're in official ramen hunting mode now.

- Yep.

- This is my favorite kinda mode,

we don't often coincide on ramen hunting days,

like there's some days where Simon's like,

"I just really wanna smash a greasy bowl of ramen,"

and I'm like "Yeah I don't feel like that today."

And then we're like "Dang it,"

and then there's another time when I'm like,

"Let's go for some greasy-ass ramen,"

and Simon's like, "I just worked out and I don't want that."

And I'm like...

But today, a miracle has happened.

- We both have agreed. - It's a birthday miracle,

we're both like "Let's go smash a bowl of ramen."

And we're both like "Yes!"

I'm sorry.

This is really (speaks in foreign language) honestly.

It's temporarily closed, it's a total fluke.

It's temporarily closed.

- [Simon] Yeah, all right.

What else you got on this list here?

- See, this is when people don't understand

when we say ramen hunt.

- We've been walking for hours.

(Martina vocalizing)

I think we might finally have found a place that's open.

We're going for Hakata style ramen--

- And Hakata style ramen is so good, it's so creamy.

- Okay, let's go girl, let's go.

(light upbeat music)

Yeah boy!

Yes everybody,

we are wearing matching shirts on my birthday.

Cheers love. - Cheers.

And I look like a gigantic woman,

and you look like a tiny boy.

- Oh no! - Oh no!

(Simon speaks in foreign language)

Did you say (speaks in foreign language)

as though you live in Busan?

- Stop it, you're so huge.

- Do you have your tiny half drink halfling?

Yours is poured in but a thimble.

- Ready?

Cheers.

- Ding!

I don't know how I'm going to get through this.

- Gorgeous egg.

We are starving but we are dedicated, alright?

- That's enough.

- That's enough. - We need to eat.

We need to eat. - It's time for me to eat.

- [Narrator] Oh, Hakata style ramen,

you are a dirty, tonkatsu ramen with a thick oily top,

unforgiving with your lush broth

clinging to those thin noodles.

Ooh, light, bouncy,

but not too overpowering for them.

I can't wait to slurp these up, heck yes,

I could eat these everyday.

(record scratches) - Why you keep meowing?

Why do you keep meowing?

Explain yourself to me tiny sir, huh?

I'm trying to do a voice over, hm?

Mommy's trying to do a sexy food porn voice over, and you,

where are you going?

Do you wanna go up here?

Come on, let's get you up here, wanna smell the window?

There you go, hi-yah, for you.

I know you like that, I do indeed.

- [Narrator] And these tiny Fukuoka style Gyoza,

they are sinful, you could eat 10 of these just by yourself.

Oh danger, we are in danger.

Oh my God, this egg, it's been smoked,

it literally tastes smokey,

and delicious soft yoke at the same time, ooh.

- I would say that was quite the scrumptious meal,

wouldn't you say so, darling?

- I would indeed, I liked smashing that bowl of ramen,

and those 10 gyozas, along with the lemon sour.

- Burning secret question is, where are we going next?

- Okay, now we're going on an adventure.

- So we have left our little shop now, wait, what?

We've left our...

I'm going to try this again.

So we just left our ramen shop,

and now we're on our way for coffee, it's 4:30 p.m,

I know we shouldn't drink coffee this late,

but if we don't, we're gonna die.

That's it, so we gotta have some coffee, or we're gonna die.

(upbeat quirky music)

So we are at the-- - 4/4 Seasons Coffee.

- 4/4 Seasons Coffee, this is the first time

I've ever had to wait in line for coffee.

What?

Waiting in line?

For coffee?

This better be good. - I have a theory.

- [Simon] Let's hear it.

- Okay, some shops are very meticulous

with their hand dripping.

That's what they wanna do.

And there might only one barista, or two baristas,

and so what you're waiting for is really good coffee,

in a neighborhood that is surrounded by a lot of chains,

because we are in the Shinjuku area,

it's like a lot of chains,

and so it's like you gotta wait in line

for someone to drip each person a coffee,

and every coffee takes what, three to five minutes?

- Alright, let's see what this coffee is all about.

Because I need it, all about, inside of my stomach.

(people chattering)

- Almost everyone has the pudding.

- [Simon] Yeah, I hope they're not sold out.

- Okay so I wasn't even gonna go for pudding,

I should have known,

the first thing on the list said pudding,

of course should get it.

I have to try the pudding, that's like my,

I have to put it up against my own, you know?

- [Simon] You'll be putting it up against your own.

(horn honks)

Can't light it.

- [Martina] It's a representation of your age, 30--

- [Simon] Okay you don't have to put that many

candles in my pudding, hey. - This is 30.

- [Simon] Hey.

- Come again.

(Martina mumbles)

It was so lovely, it's called 4/4 Seasons Coffee

in Shinjuku, and they were so crazy busy when we got here,

as you saw, and I asked them if it's always like this,

and she's like they just got really popular

from their pudding, and originally I wasn't gonna get it,

and I was like alright, I'll get the pudding, ya know?

Oh my gosh, you guys, it's like an adult pudding

so like you know the purin video, if you guys don't know,

I'll link to it for the end, that I made, this is that,

but it's like super creamy, and smooth, huge serving size.

And the caramel on top is so close to being a dark burnt.

- [Simon] Yeah.
