love the Vietnamese section I mean I love Vietnamese food but this is so authentic if you want some authentic food it's cheap to go I usually go here they have everything from Vietnamese fruits desserts snacks lunch plates and meals this is only half of the food section due to the Rain regardless this is still a great selection and they have the vietamese version of hollow hollow for only $6 so this is the Vietnamese version of H Holo and how do you say it J J ma oh I need a lot of help with vimes this version of H Hollow the V style is very good one thing I can say that stands out is that the food was delicious and it was for a great price so all of these are $6 except for this one this is specium uh that's one seven and then we got typical cash that's one is6 most of the bentos cost between $6 to $7 oh yeah most of the desserts cost only $375 this is $5 oh we're getting that cuz not only that thing is popping out to me it looks cute MH yeah and we're going to get that for sure with the hollow Holo and we had this the last time we ible to point out to this and it is so good and it's crazy I'll show it to you more when we eat what is this called meia ask it's look like an AO so it's like V me we call is like too [Music] bread yeah I seen you on YouTube oh yeah yeah oh thank you for watching we're going to buy the food and we're going to go sit down and eat it somewhere I can't wait to show you guys this the dessert and what else are we going to grab we're going to grab some traditional dishes today that I usually love summer roll bun Bell I love bun Bell and the Vietnamese look fun with pork is a must try too you have to eat it with some veggies and fish sauce and the big bentos are $12 and can be mixed with rice so much Vietnamese food in one small stand and ooh and and my Homer yeah o and what is this exactly um a pendant rice cake pendant rice cake ooh look at that that is green like the hke okay and it looks so moist inside oh my and the top is soft and the bread is this is quality hogish bread going in my mouth right now 3 2 [Music] 1 I've never had bread that tasted like it came from a banana Lumia tastes good really good and I smell a little bit of coconut here and just by the texture I already know this is going to be good so let me try oh yeah this is really good this is how it's supposed to taste but even better because it's so soft and I love it and has that coconut smell from the leaf that you saw more fluffy really squeezy it's very delicious wow another specialty of Vietnam is the sticky rice cake usually eaten for special occasions like New Year's and weddings The Filling might look like eggs but it's bean and coconut so what life's about life is about taking care of your family and eating good food and we're just covering the second thing today this is like a like a breakfast with a little bit of eggs and dessert mhm yep and I think that would go perfect with with that you want oh yes of course yes o thank [Music] you m mhm the sesame seed the crunchiness outside that is like pure sugar and inside is beans this is called bam which is directly translated orange cake but there's no orange inside I had similar Chinese desserts like this but not with this kind of glaze not with this kind of crisp though on the outside though so that just put the icing on the cake aun and H yeah I speak fluent Vietnamese you didn't know that right so I'm joking of course now we're going to go find a place and eat some of this food now let's go all right thank you g gon gun kamaji sin and H G Li that's pretty much all I [Music] know all righty let's find a place to eat but we're going to show you the monaa marketplace entrance and all this good food too Bo got some of the best seafood and we can't wait to show you our Seafood tour that's coming up shortly after this [Music] video so we're going to start off with the Vietnamese Hol Holo because the ice is melting so this is called Jam B bamo actually means three colors we have some beans and some jelly in the vietamese dessert and ooh they have the coconut milk too and we're going to pour all this in right now so after you pour in the coconut milk you grab your ice here and boom and that's how you eat this version of H Hollow g g g yeah you blend it all together wow one 2 3 the jelly is stringy chewy and when you put it with that coconut like milk tube it makes for a really good dessert along with the beans Hi H how are you your channel thank you so much for watching we appreciate one of our viewers he's here with his wife from California Sacramento yeah so now we're moving on to right in here you have the rice noodles with all the traditional vegg cheese the pickles the sprouts and then the pork it's a grilled pork sausage Vietnamese style and is one of my favorite favorite Meats of all the Vietnamese dishes name new they give you some fish sauce so they have the mint here some of the lettuce so we're going to mix it all together we're going to see what the pork spring roll and noodles taste like all [Music] together so really stands out to me is the pork it's like a lighter version of pork it's more soft and it comes almost in like a meatball form I can't say the spring rolls and noodles stand out because it does taste good you can get this kind of spring rolls and noodles almost at any other good Asian market let's try another of my favorites which is go summer rolls summer rolls how do you say that guon Roy it's wrapped in rice papers and comes with thin slices pork shrimp let's try to dip it in the Hoin sauce the sauce is thick and nice I see pieces of chili in here and let's have a [Music] bite this is nice simple delicious and I really love the sauce if you get it with the hoiston sauce you already know that they're probably from South Vietnam this is another dish Bun B I love Bun B a hint of Coco coconut taste on their dough some imitation shrimp here as a topping and we will dip this into the fish sauce let's try right here this almost tastes like a shrimp chip but in a more jelly softer form and it is good woo this is authentic and they do it really good here it tastes like the ones that my mom would make at home now moving on to all the Vietnamese desserts this is steamed banana cake the coconut sauce is so thick wow I can't wait to eat this this is the best banana pudding cake I've ever had next up is pandon sticky rice with MK bean that is a fun chewy light dessert so when I open this right here it has all the filling right there that is quite unique it's the closest to a moi this has a lot more substance towards it our last item is what I really wanted cuz I've eaten it before it is a nicely crafted great tasting wafer two one I didn't expect it to be that crispy that crispy flaky tasty that was freaking awesome love it I love it so much faces a trial here in Chinatown I mean I think it's endless oh nice it finally dried up right now we're moving on to the next stop we are here at Old Kim's Korean chicken I heard nothing but good stuff about eating over here and that's what we're going to check out so let's go inside it looks small when you enter in but uh they actually have an extra spot where you can eat in which I prefer cuz it's less noisy and looks more cozy that that is a whole lot of goodness oh my that was quick too 10 minutes for all of this like 8 minutes actually I was I was counting can you hear the [Applause] popping Bim Bim Bob pork belly Mandu this looks like some fine dining pork belly like it served to like only royalty wow look at the fat on that pork belly too that looks It's amazing And fusioned this is one of their most well-known dishes let's eat up oh yeah the pork is so soft it breaks so easily the miso paste on top of the meat is what made it quite sweet and definitely different from a lot of the other food we've eaten sweet and salty at the same time I think I give this a a in taste a a in presentation and along with this you actually get purple rice and some kimchi and salad to eat along with your pork belly I got to say one of the best kimchi I had and it's spicy oh it's so deliciously hot and it's homemade here one of the best kimchi I've had for appetizers we get a seaweed soup with small pieces of pork came along with the meal and it tasted better than I expected cuz when I think about soup I'm not excited for it but it's pretty darn good now to the signature appetizer is a truffle Mandu two three M that's really delicious with all the mushrooms inside not too oily and yeah pretty good pretty good this is fresh has a right texture towards it I don't know what the Truffle was if I'm not wrong the Truffle is in the jelly oh yeah that's not jelly but it is but it is jelly okay so the Truffle is in the small pieces of jelly this is how you supposed to eat [Music] it oh should not eat that by itself that's the saltiest jelly I've ever had the main event is this hot stone beep and Bop with wagu style beef another signature dish and look at all the meat you're getting along with this dish all the veggies too wow I can eat this breakfast lunch and dinner everything stands out together and it just made for a reaction that I am not used to eating at all everything is fresh they seasoned this so well the beef is so high quality thank you to the owner such a sweet lovely lady she gave this to us on the house now this looks like a corn on the car but no it isn't this is an actual dessert does this taste like a corn I mean it looks like a corn I hope it doesn't taste like corn because that's not what I'm looking for when I eat a dessert so let's dive in and let's see it could be a corn ice cream don't do that face what it could be a corn ice cream I don't want to eat corn ice cream no but it could taste good though I doubt it I doubt they are too friendly to do that so so let's let's dive in looks like ice cream to me hope it doesn't taste like corn 3 2 1 it tastes like vanilla ice cream with some cheesecake in it and that corn presentation on the outside really does stand out the condensed milk with hint of raspberry on top that was pretty cool and there is a bit of corn tasting here with the flakes on the side so there's a corn theme going on here with the Corn Flakes this this is fun to eat super fun we're going to walk around Chinatown and we'll see you at the next [Music] spot good food here bring sunshine on a rainy day do you guys have a YouTube channel we do it's actually called Ashley and West Ashley and West we'll

refuse to eat the chicken feet and even though this is not chicken feet it's pig feet it's still feet and it kind of gross me out but I'm going to be a real mad and eat it today because mom is here people from part one did talk smack about how I didn't eat the chicken feet no feet with nails no and and chicken chicken feet has Nails on their chicken so my girlfriend Audrey told me to you could feed your um your dog um chicken feet because it's good for them yeah so I bought some chicken feet I took it home I rubbed it with vinegar and water and then I was looking at it and it gross me out because there's toenails on each chicken feet and then I couldn't stand it so I cut off the toenails and when I did that it looks like a baby's finger I was grossed out so I threw it away I know I just lost my appetite heing that story so we're ending the food tour here so Mahalo for watching this video follow me at Hawaiian traveler on Instagram that's located down below after I'm just joking we're going to we're going to eat we're going to eat it right now three two one I forgot that this was even feet I was eating so it's a pretty good it's a pretty good meat it's tasty it's squishy it's soft it's tender and that sweet and sour sauce really takes it over yes it does and it's good I'm going to try this Chinese dish right now with roast duck three two one it wasn't like n Fang when that fun was around my piece was good because it was a little tight oh yeah yeah I think I think your piece was a little bit better so maybe I could have a better piece so let me let me see if I can just change my mind just a little bit that was a good piece they make some good Chun better than a lot of Delicatessen that I go to this CA is popping oh look at that show them that skin that's charred wow now that's delicious I don't even have to taste T it to know that it's delicious wow look at that Char what what exactly is Char not Papa but it's a little burnt oh my gosh he put the whole thing in his mouth do you want a napkin no napkin how is it see you see when you put the whole thing in your mouth you can't speak ooh that's a good thing give him another piece NE I love my son he's just my favorite son he's my only son that's why he's my favorite that CA was chunky chewy tasty juicy did I already say juicy it's CA caill and I haven't had a better piece of CA before see my son he's Chinese but I don't know I'm 25% Chinese and my dad's 50% Chinese 50% Hawaiian and remember when my dad used to oh always take me here when I was a kid I used to complain in Chinatown yes that was his thing every Saturday was to come to Chinatown he was a very proud Chinese man now today here we are and I come here quite often I'm Hawaiian Filipino and [Music] Chinese I think this will even go better if I ate it with a little bit of the kuak is that how you say it a little bit of what the kuyak what is it called cuk and I think and I think these noodles will taste really good with the ca thanks to you guys that when you guys leave a comment and correct me actually helps with the YouTube algorithm so maybe sometimes I should say um a couple things that are maybe not so correct I wanted

better environment without my hair blowing all over the place and making sure nobody steals my bag I keep looking back Ka indoors well one thing I can say is that U my mom my dad they grew up tough I mean growing up in khi in the I'll just say in the earlier days I won't say what years no yeah it was a tough time that being said we're going to finish up this meal and we'll see you guys in the next place aloha aloha my favorite daughter-in-law and my favorite [Applause] [Music] [Applause] song the next off is Chi Kong look Fun Factory and it's cash only Chinatown is not that big here so you can walk to most of the places right next to the vietnames stand our friends we've heard good things about this place over here and we're going to go try it out from reputable sources it's the place to eat let's go check it out hello hi we are here to try out some good look fun charu dry shrimp mushroom one piece $3 two piece $6 so basically for every piece it's $3 it and for the look fun every piece is $2 which is kind of funny because usually when you buy more pieces the price gets cheaper but over here one piece is $3 it's like a mathematical calculator for my elementary times they teach you this 9 * 3 is is 27 10 * 3 is 30 just say $3 for every piece you buy we're going to try the one of each fun so they have Charo shrimp mushroom and look fun and we're going to try one piece of each they're giving us access to see how the look fun is made in the back so let's go check it out [Music] wow one piece is just not a small piece it's this this is for $3 yeah so you saw in the back where they have all the equipment look fun are fun to eat they're actually also hard to make I bet you most people who feel like eating look fun they go here and look how big this thing is you would think that it cost $3 for just this one piece but no NE and I divide it and it'll be $3 for these two pieces so we're going to eat and see how it is but usually you don't eat it like this usually you cut it in pieces yes look fun are typically cut into pieces they're commonly served with soup meats or a variety of dim suum just know it's really eaten by itself we're going to eat it just with this without the sauce and see how it tastes like are you ready 3 2 1 this tastes like on a scale to 1 to 10 it tastes like a 7 and 1/2 by itself but that's pretty good because when you add the sauce to it it comes out to like a 9 or a 10 what a texture and the dough is so thick the Vietnamese look funs are usually thinner that's a lot of look fun in one piece and if I was to factor in how much we get and the quality of it you can't go wrong here I've never seen big pieces like this for this price good to bring home and mix it up with whatever meat I have at home with some fish sauce next up is look fun with dried shrimp wow what a big piece let's have a bite together with all the shrimps here on the [Music] top yeah I like this one better just because the shrimp is like small pieces of saltiness added into the look fun Wham look at that big slab of look fun it's like a big fish or something you know we just took this out of the sea I can't wait to see how it tastes like by itself cuz I never had look Fun by itself it's like eating rice yeah I don't know what say you can't you can't review you can't say oh rice is so delicious for this for only $2 that's worth bringing home to the add to your other meals and I never would have thought that there's a place that gives so much for such high quality for a cheap price we're going to rest our tummies a little bit because we eaten so much and we still have more food to eat so let's go for a walk for now [Music] anytime you see someone where they have the Hawai e vest and all the placers throughout the years you know it's good so if you're going to get your flowers and your lays get it from here Chinatown at Cindy's lay and flower shop just time we add this to the food tour video we are here at Lamb's kitchen and they have authentic Cantonese food let's go check it out let's see if I can still jump after eating all this food yeah I still got it let's go in thank you hi let's going oh yeah pretty cool pretty small two right there bam that's I love about chinal in here think things don't look so great from the outside but when you go on the inside you feel like you're entering a different world this is a cha Chung with one ton and tendon and beef look at that thing this thing is actually off menu I don't speak canones but I just showed them a picture and they were still able to give us this dish I think you could smell it coming through your screen right now tell me how it's no I'm just joking though but it is quite steaming it's popping and wow I can't wait to dive in we have another amazing dish too beef plank tendon and look fun noodle soup as you know we had some of the look fun earlier this is mixed with this delicious soup right now it's cold outside and what a great way to eat soup today what a great way to eat soup today and I wanted to highlight too is that I noticed right over here the soup handles the Chopsticks everything is right there and this chili sauce is quite famous in here here look at that so they are not messing around when it comes to your catanese food I want to dive in let's do [Music] it yeah this is tasty yeah this is a good souo good broth I believe that they make it more neutral so you can add all the sauces yourself look at this piece of tendon right here oo you only taste nothing but the best I want to try some of the look fun with the beef oh the beef flank is a total winner I mean oh my and it goes so well with the broth and the look fun I have to say that of all the meals we've eaten in this part two of Chinatown food tour this is my favorite I don't know what it is about that beef but why is it so good why do you think it's so good the beef is so good because it's so tender and soft looking around we noticed everyone was eating the beef flank and tended look fun soup we found the reason why the beef here is so special They slow cook this that's why it's so tender it's so Tender Rose is a regular customer when the weather is not so nice she showed us some other delicious dishes this place is a winner so we want to move on now to the next dish which was off menu since it's off menu we have to put it in big captions exactly what it is right on the screen this is the cha Chong fun with beef tendons and won yeah yeah cha Chong p with beef and one ton that is correct don't judge me this is harder to say than you think now let's eat 1 2 3 the beef soft tender slices right through your teeth that's why you have to come here for the beef their beef is amazing trust us on this okay now I'm going try to see how good this CH fun is ready [Music] bam because it's glazed with all the sauce it tastes so delicious but this is how you should eat chow fun and look fun of all the places I've eaten in Chinatown I can say that this place is the most surprising I mean I came in here with no expectations and I'm Blown Away they have the one ton here it is glaz into the oyster sauce it's like a brain it does look like a brain it's like cranking from Ninja Turtles right here oh wait let me rotate yeah there you go boom that looks like a brain hopefully this this makes me smarter after I eat this 3 2 [Music] 1 m m watch out I think there's a piece of shrimp inside oh see my taste parts tasted this uh shrimp inside but one thing I could tell from that one ton is that when you chew into it the juices just flirted right in your mouth I mean the juices came straight out boom exposion right down through your esophagus we can recommend these two meals highly so we're going to finish this up and we'll see you guys in a couple hours n Fang home of the best roast duck and pork in all of Chinatown I keep hearing all the great reviews I want to see what all the hype is about a lot of the locals love it here but unfortunately it's closed now I mean it's kind of hard heartbreaking to see the sign that says whate commercial real estate for sale please don't take your favorite places for granted because one day it could be here and the next day it might not so enjoy the place while it's here support local and let's keep the memories of the great places over here at that make Chinatown that's Char hunat it's been closed for maybe a couple years now I heard many great stories about eating here people have great memories and if you do please let me know in the comment section down [Music] below it's nice to see you nice to meet you I for this how ask me to be of our Vlog what's your [Music] name we are here at the O's Tha la cuisine I don't think we've had a thae la Ocean Place in Chinatown part one or two and we heard good things my friend Gina from Moana eats said that it's good over here so we're going to check it out one thing I like already that is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. it's rare to find a place in Chinatown that's open 12 hours a day 7 days a week so you can always count on o and you want to go check it out and see what they got in here let's go look at this place it is popping oh wow look whoa whoa it is a different world back here so on the outside it looks like a small area but you walk through and you got all this this place is huge it's popping there is a lot of seating here and Whoa We are blown away by the presentation of this place wow and the menu selection is massive I ordered a Thai coffee and I didn't expect it like this they go you want Boba I was like sure and this is the Thai coffee that is massive this is bigger than my head this is not your typical drink like this that's what I'm talking about if you love black coffee if you love that bobba fil it adds a really good blend towards it oh very delicious so here comes the Sal medum spice level uh L sausage beef jery wormell noodles um vegetable and pop rind all right enjoy than oh my gosh wow this is a big platter with a wide variety L sausage beef jerky Lo oan papaya salad noodles man they are not messing around here oh and a bit of pork skin and the pork skin it's called pork grinds right I love pork skin M and it's just a good side dish to our amazing platter already so they gave you some salad to actually wrap it all together that's really good but let's try each food item one by one let's start with the beef [Music] jerky M okay super chewy a little tough salty with a lot of jerky filling inside and this is jerky on a whole another level it is just more dense more intense and a whole lot of taste it is I mean I think I got a a piece that is a little tough or is yours tough too mine is tough too yeah I think they're all a little bit tougher the beef jeret was a little dry but I think it's meant to be that way and but it's also very meaty too look at this fat part right [Music] here oh you're a real woman just like bit into that thing M this piece is so good this is the best piece I've had I already changed my mind this piece is delicious try it can I I mean yeah some pieces are dried and then some pieces have have a lot of fat in it I almost gave up on you beef jerky I almost gave up on you I'm changing my mind about this look even this piece has a lot of fat and [Music] meat oh the Lan sausage oo how does that look doesn't look appetizing but does it taste appetizing that's what I want to know let's find out very special sausage that I haven't had before look at all the seasoning too and the chilies and lemongrass I see so much of seasoning inside and wow look at that look at all the chilies too cuz it is a bit spicy it's spicy they said that the their mild version of spicy is really spicy if you're an American this is burning my mouth right now in a good way not literally burning my mouth but you get what I'm saying beat spicy food this is the L papaya salad and it looks spicy I think I can handle spice okay ready [Music] go oh the chili kicks in after oh so before the spice kicked in it tasted like a fresh papaya salad with a lot of dressing and that was really good I taste way more fish sauce in here it's stents all around and it is so spicy so I think this is a great introduction to laan food it's very similar to the Thai food just way more saturated but this La ocean platter is high quality and they're not messing around when they make this I think this dish is a winner it's a big portion and there's a lot more other food bases we got to try so we'll see you guys in the next [Music] Bas it's a new day and we're heading back to monaa Marketplace now let's go back to the food court here you can find some of the best cheap eats Chinatown has a reputation for being maybe not the most safest space I can say that I forgot my umbrella here yesterday and I went back and it's still here look at this amazing [Music] umbrella how can I pass by a $7 plate lunch okay I got to get me a plate lunch I'll take that please yes Char yes just one cool thank you yeah yeah you just give me back 10 please yeah just 10 to tip and may I have a cup of ice please got me my $7 plate now let's go back we had to stop off and show off May's Chinese style barbecue because if it is ridiculously cheap and it only cost $7 for this plate $7 for all this we have some duck here look at that glaze that's pretty Dar good I just can't get over this portion and they don't hold back either I mean they give a lot of rice and wow you have some of the duck here you have some of the charu the chuit is just popping look at that I love the Charo it's really sweet keep in mind that although the duck and the Charo is good it's a little dry and they do have a lot of bones in it I mean it's not finely made but going back is it worth every bit of the $7 here for this plate lunch yes I could have tested that cheap eats do exist in Hawaii it's it's very rare to find them but this is one of the r finds and it's worth every dollar another food stand that caught our attention is the Vietnam fa and sandwiches we found out that some of the foods that are sold from the Vietnamese stand G and tea are made right here oh my God that's so funny know think all the bunm is right here they have egg rolls and pork chop wow many traditional Vietnamese dishes all righty so we have some Bon me and this looks promising to say the least inside with Pate butter Asian ham marinated pork pickled vegetables coriander and fresh chilies this is the special version they have pork inside which is very typical Vietnamese style and I can already tell that this is the right bread no High fusion no nothing just simple authentic and very similar to what I get at home the difference with the homemade Bon Me is every household makes their own special sauce and grilled pork marinade I don't know if you guys got anything on this bom we've eaten some homemade bomie with your family and it is the winner I mean we've already had some really good Bon at kulong to yeah has some really good bonm the bonm me here is more new school with mayo and savory marinated sirloin pork slices ready go M that's delicious this is so delicious this ranks up there with some of the best on me I've had it's tasty it's fresh I love the bread how crispy it is M this is just a right amount of veggies and meat I didn't go up to eating B me like need did but I think they have some of the dressing with the Mayo a little bit it's actually the butter and the Pate mixed together and with all the pickles it kind of creates a creamy sauce inside when you take a bite I've eaten lots of B me and this ranks right up there so I grew up eating B me my whole life I only feel confident saying that the mme is good if I can recommend it to other Vietnamese folks and I can tell you I can recommend this for other Vietnamese folks I mean for the value we also stopped by at dims Village for some quick pork hash and shrimp dumplings it only cost $450 for three pieces and the pork cash is very meaty if you want some of the best dim suum in chinat town fuk Lam restaurant is worth the visit we were given some Filipino skewers from Destiny and least eery man that is shiny the pork tastes really good it tastes like any other good pork but I think what really stands out is the glaze I think we're going to have to come back here at another time to do a proper Filipino food tour and add that to them next and if there's any other Filipino food places that we got to check out please let us know in the comment section down below now off to the next [Music] place what's up my man wow there is just a lot of good eery inside here we could do an entire video on the Mona Marketplace food court area I mean there's a lot of good food a lot of cheap eats and just a whole lot more to explore so but we got to keep it moving and now off to the next space the next place is actually right behind me and outside of the mount AA Marketplace we are here at Mickey's Cafe and I couldn't resist they have a durian smoothie and if you don't know much about it just know that it's bad in certain parts of Asia because it's very smelly let's go get that durian smoothie I'll get the durian smoothie for $8 and the sugarcane slush for $7 okay thank you durian sugarcane yes durian to the left sugar cane to the right durian tip I remember I want to dive into the the durian right away let's give it a [Music] try oh yeah that is a very distinct taste durion doesn't taste that good to me it kind of does taste how it smells it's it's a little stink it takes getting used to having a durian oh man now we're going to try the next one which is the sugar cane [Music] slush ooh that is pure sugar heaven and a whole lot of cold freshness this is a place for all durian lovers or if you want a really Fresh Smoothie I'll see you guys in the next one I'm going to finish this [Music] too hi we here at the Pig and the lady probably the most popular place in all of Chinatown Honolulu they serve vietnames food with a a Twist it's Fusion food let's go inside man this place is happening and it is busy busy busy busy it's a very popular place here in Chinatown and it is recommended to make a reservation we haven't done that today so hopefully there will be two seats open for us this space is happening we walked in around noon time it's super busy and we were asked if we had reservations we didn't so here we are at the bar first let's get the famous Hanoi egg coffee the egg coffee in Vietnam is a very popular drink in Hanoi which offers a special taste that you should try for yourself I know it's really good in Hanoi and it's good in here too cuz we've been here before I think we have to blend it all together cheers to 50K subscribers cuz that's what we're shooting for if you haven't subscribed yet please do wow this is really good I mean the coffee is strong I like the dessert kind of concept towards it and it's quite different this thing is so special it's delicious it's creamy it's so thick and I'm not even a coffee person but I love this a whole lot let's set the record straight and try the most famous fall French dip for $19 it's the most expensive Bon Me we've ever had let's see if it's worth it that looks like it's worth the price because this looks like an entire plate lunch in a bon me I mean they have 12-hour slow roasted beef brisket and all the other main ingredients in a f is now in a bon me cooked Sprouts onions and cilantro I've never seen such a big juicy brisket inside of a bunme before I feel like I'm showing you guys something that's worth a whole lot of money and that it's precious and I'm going to break it in two right now so that we can have one each let's break it wow so let's try this are you ready yes I am ready okay three two one go that was some fine brisket all the veggies you expect that's fresh and that cilantro that Greenery that you can taste on the bread and from the inside oh a lot of other places they may use other sauces or Mayo but they use that cantr and that that was different wow this is the most special bun I've ever had in my life and the most expensive as well but hey this is so unique I think it's worth it I really think it is no it's worth it I think we should dip this in the F soup for $7 we added the mini F noodle soup for dipping how did they thought about this dipping the bun me into the f is so delicious now let's try the mini F on its own the mini has no meat but how's the broth it's a little salty for my taste but I think this is meant to be the dip for the bunme I'm not sure if their actual f is this salty as well but a little bit salty for my taste we met our viewers Tim hi Tim and F they're so sweet old school traditional food New School fusion you put the two together you get a big crowd yeah check out the bathroom oh is it fancy yeah it's funny we go [Music] [Applause] inside hey that was a really good experience so now off to the next place [Music] later now we're back
