Winn has been delivering a not so common protein packed playful or secret weapon fish stomachs fantastic now have you ever just had fish stomach yeah I had before my mom put it in the sweet and sour spit for me but and I gave up eating stomach yeah it's one of those foods that you might you give it up sorry mom but what's because of the way you cooked it I didn't like it wow this just became a weird confessional that's not your actual mom it's just a camera but that's good this could be therapeutic today - yeah mom your Thanksgiving turkey was dry sometimes okay - I ate so much ham sorry I was just kidding mom is just for the joke already marinated with chili saute set on the flattop with hot cashew nut oil then okra joins the party it's just okra don't get too excited finally she serves it up with herbs and her own dipping sauce now I want my first fish stomach just plain Jane it's already full of fun seasonings it looks like a person stomach but just smaller right let's try it out it's antastic it tastes like a land animal I mean if anything there's like more beefy or porky and especially with all the seasonings she's put on here not like anything from the sea fresh water yep what really stands out to me is the texture it kind of crunches in your mouth I'm gonna try it in this as well as I can fermented tofu sauce it's thick it's white kind of creamy it's sour and almost cheesy I don't think it's melted thoughts goes well with this on it do you think that goes with one of the other menu items maybe okra widow cop yeah always coming over we should do an overview [Music] right now we're on the street that's kind of famous for seafood for grilling drinking having some snails what is the name of this street it's but you can't it's located in district 4 oh my god and it is also known as the district number yes Paul so if you're a getting member you want to have a fun meet up with other gang members trade game tips it's probably the place to do it right yeah welcome to Chile barbecue and hot pot open for seven years this restaurant is famous for their selection of over 25 unique and far-out Easter recipes right here we've got 25 different oyster recipes all in their own little oyster cooking dish let's just take like a quick look around we're not gonna name every single different recipe here like finding something that's what joy hey did you read that book about minimalism my girlfriend read that book and then she broke up with me she liked touching my arm it was like no joy peace yeah did you feel joy well she didn't either back to the food cheese and quail eggs there's one over here that has peanuts and peanut butter what the nuts yeah this looks like a Korea inspired one it's like one the pokey like one rice cake hello can you put the boom okay I'll have this echelon one which one you on ultra keys with calling [Music] any idea how long that's gonna take time last forever when you're sober Oh what's the point [Music] so right now these are just sizzling away so I'm gonna give this a flip we got the Szechuan sauce and the black beans and the good thing is like it's Easter so we can't really under cook it I don't know how I parlay this into my mouth hole don't touch it resist the urge to touch it oh it's spicy throat burning warm delicious perfectly cooked very rich and rich and fresh yeah like me no joy I think we should try at least three more I'm gonna get this one this is a Korean inspiration I will take the wallet strawberries oh that's wild as it's cooking right now I can smell a strawberry jam wafting off of there it's so unusual I bet it's gonna be good somehow I love it a little hot yo get you look like you're dying or in pleasure what's happening that was bad yeah I'm gonna try it your jam juice I like it it's just sweet and syrupy and spicy so this is done it was creamy buttery margarine these oh my god each one you look like you're gonna die wasabi are you crying day or night barbecue is a favorite for young people like me some of them are weird some of them are delicious and the best of all some of them are really surprising I love it in Vietnam basically anything put on the grill can be called barbecue for the old folks out there they're looking for something a little different less hit more traditional and more time-tested you can see for yourself today we were in search of the biggest baddest most epic barbecue we could find it's right here yeah it's very hot if you will walk down the street and you don't see a head but you just saw this animal what would you think it is I maybe think it is a goat's a goat like on steroids here an entire cap you may know it as veal is roasted over an open flame in some places they marinate it with lemon grass and spread cashew coloring on the skin to create an eye-catching look at this restaurant chef who with his 30 years of experience believes the best roasted veal should be prepared with no season now we're not really even close to the center of town we're way on the edge of Ho Chi Minh City right now but for this neighborhood it must be somewhat of a big spectacle to see this big calf body here sir why why cat meat why veal this is the specialty of the people in the center of Vietnam oh and not a proper this year was it a big hit from the beginning everyone was very scared of the dish but once they taste the first taste and they really want to have the next move and the next minute okay so it's just about getting people past the shock of being like what the heck is that what animal is that what's going on the veal roasts over charcoal for two hours it gets hit with salt water and cooking oil to finish it off from here they simply cover it up with a couple of plastic bags to soften the skin and preserve the meat anytime there's an order the chef lops off a chunk and dices it up straight from the cow it's starting to look more like food though if you look at that plate this is the fat belly the skin is still on there it looks leathery so you try it out well he try one with us maybe Hollywood Oh I had gout before - because I drank too much such a mix I mean there's like all the layers of the body the skin is pretty tough and chewy on the outside then it's like fat and then it's protein the protein is nice and soft the fat is juicing it's very unique it's offering you a different kind of cutting forehand eating only so he just kind of soften other-- piece here kind of above the hip to the right of the spine they said this is the softest part of the views Cheers [Music] it's very juicy I think it's a little plain as it needs some sauce or something to go with it but as a protein itself very delicious can you tell him that I would happily eat his meat until I get gout again this roasted veal is served with all kinds of fresh herbs roasted sesame rice crackers green bananas star fruit chili garlic and of course fermented shrimp paste if I'm being super honest I've only had veal a couple of times when I tried it yes it was soft and a bit juicy but I really lacked any type of flavor but when you look at the table here there's a ton of powerful flavors that are about to be mixed in together now this alone is very intimidating it smells a little Biddy it's got a pungent aroma with some sweetness in there too mention we're in an industrial area yeah they're building a lot of stuff I guess it with this rice crackers and then some earth then we put in some green banana I'll take the meat that you just powdered up oh this looks really healthy makes it like a salad let's go for super fresh very yummy fresh herbs and just a ton of powerful flavor it's all mixed together you know everyone thinks of veal as like this is very tender like high-end meat as I eat it here it just tastes like boiled chicken before use very rustic way to cook it make up a dish to drink oh really yeah so it's all about like get it done some people are so eager that they pick up a slice of veal and dip it in the sauce straight away but the veal is just one ingredient meant to be balanced with a variety of powerful natural flavors and then it looks pretty good it looks like spider-man's webs so many strong flavors they are fighting I can see why this should be a good drinking food because it's like I want to wash down on those powerful flavors and then even as you're getting drunk you're losing your senses so you need something even more powerful at that time you promised preparation or you have found the flow if it's meat if it came from an animal whether it's a foot a stomach or a whole dang cow these people this country is going to find a way to make it awesome your mother singing softly show is saying goodbye to all of our original best ever merge designs but for the next 30
