creamy in the inside let's see there it is there's your Uber actually um they do have a variety of different flavors the malasadas were running around 295 the cream-filled Mochi Donuts will run you about 335 so decently priced I spent about 12 bucks all together for these four I'm definitely gonna have to give that a thumbs up and we're gonna have to try their fika fika Creamery because I saw some coconut ice cream there but we'll have to go back there later on today when we try out the sandwich shop just across the way so let's fast forward to later on in the day when I come back for the sandwiches and the ice cream next spot on new restaurants around Mira Mesa is Ike's Love and sandwiches there are multiple locations around San Diego when I looked it up on Google Maps but I've never tried it before Ike's actually used to be Quiznos back in the day my cousin actually used to work here at Quiznos shout out to Carlo we used to come to this Quiznos all the time have the chicken carbonara sandwich that was bomb but let's see what they have in here it looks like they have a ton of Northern California celebrity names Southern California celebrity names and a mix of other crazy concoctions of sandwiches and they have a famous dirty sauce so let's see what I'm in the mood for today I'm a little full still because I just came from the zoo and I ate them casabiria tacos but we'll eat something here so Ike's loving sandwiches is open from 10 a.m to 9 P.M Monday to Sunday seven days a week look at this voted best sandwich in the world by my mom looks like they have a bunch of different treats here just like your zaps potato chips that's what he had in New Orleans back in the day so they have a famous dirty sauce dirty sauces are house-made aioli so there's your answers

this while it's nice warm and toasted but you can take it home re-toast it in your toaster oven but for sure they have like 40 or 50 different types of sandwiches hey maybe one day they'll make a vacation sandwich and put it up there I'm feeling some ice cream let's head back head back Marie over there right next to a DOT and dough and try out some Ube ice cream we had to come back after seeing that young coconut Ube ice cream they also have like Thai iced tea and uh milk and cereal flavor ice cream green tea lychee I just went with the one scoop it was five bucks uh double scoop is eight add a dollar for those colorful waffle cones and they have about 15 choices for you different flavors so let's dig into this oh yeah that's nice and creamy you got the coconut Uber flavor definitely you can taste that this would go perfect with one of those Mochi Donuts another place that I love is salt and straw and there is this strawberry like key lime pie type ice cream that my little bro takes home to me because he works there it's so good you guys should try it out it's like a strawberry key lime pie cilantro ice cream I don't even taste the cilantro in it just it's

commercial strip mall area right next to Spectrum there's a crumble cookies over here right across the parking lot from sprouts and BevMo and they do hot pot so we're gonna try out some hot pot never tried Hot Pot before believe it or not and joining me for this segment is one of my good friends this is Tyra you ready for some hot pot oh yeah she's a Mira Mesa native as well what is it Middle School to high school a long time ago don't say that don't say that at so their lunch hours is 11 A.M dinner is at 4 30. last seating is at 2PM for lunch and 8 30 for dinner you can get reservations online I'll have it down linked below so here's the restaurant menu there all you can eat lunch is 25.95 per person a 90-minute course their dinner slash weekend all you can eat is 34.95 a 90 minute course and they have the shabu-shabu tonkatsu Sukiyaki the meat selection different types of meats some Farmers Market beef Shabu Curry seasonal vegetables and they also have a drink Garden all you can drink for 2.55 cents this area here looks like a little salsa bar they got a very Ryu spicy shoyu daikon Hiroshi and green onions and some gum this is a good deal every Wednesday 50 off beer mug so you can get yourself some sapporos up in here and this is the farmer's market let's go with the tour here we got your cabbage salad your carrot dressing your udon which you gotta cook an additional 30 seconds here Ramen which is also an additional 30 seconds and then this is the bar the broccoli kale and apple cabbage onion tomato kombucha zucchini and Chinese parsley and then you got your bok choy potato tofu daikon Shirataki tongue and fish tofu fish balls and pork meatballs over here as well then at the very end you got your beef Shabu curry with excuse me if I'm saying it's wrong and fuku jinzuki and we also have a huge Rice Bowl but you guys know rice is my enemy this is the beef Shabu Curry and I will eat the rice potato pork shoulder pork belly truck guy iron short plate all right guys so I am totally ignorant to Hot Pot I've never done this shabu-shabu Sukiyaki never so hopefully Tyra can help me figure out how to get these things cooked the right way and we got our various Meats as our server said and we can also grab our drinks they also have Boba but you can also get yourself some beers it's a little too early for that and then they gave me some hanzu Goma and water here so over in the drink Garden you got your jasmine tea your yozu jasmine tea Jasmine milk tea and passion fruit oolong tea and then you can grab your coffee jelly right here some Crystal Boba and azuki they have batch craft sodas like lemon lime pink lemonade ginger beer and all that good stuff all right so here goes nothing I'll dump everything on this side then like I said guys I have no idea what I'm doing here and then we turn it off once it's cooked and we're going to figure this out but I ended up getting some sort of boba jasmine tea boba pretty good nice and sweet all right so what is this ponzu Goma and water it's awesome oh is it sauce oh it's like this oh I gotcha comment down below how long does it take to cook everything the vegetables the meat is okay over here any questions at all am I doing this right are we leaving this too like too long right yeah so it's probably no way to no correct way to enjoy that there's a lot of different stuff I just don't want to under cook no once that soup's at a good one like that all those meats are gonna cook very good really quick gotcha yeah better overcooked than anything one time I went to the Philippines and I did I don't think it was this but something like this and I got food poisoning so better that it be overcooked than undercooked see jaycation isn't good at Asian food all right I do know this is tonkatsu bro so I know that part so this is like a pork meatball nice flavor to that went with some of the broccoli a fish bowl we'll drop it in the Goma this is one of the leaner cut Meats it's almost like that rare steak you get in but nice and cooked they said it's about 15 seconds till it's cooked so that's really good so I could say this the Goma dip is really good I like the tonkatsu broth the other broth is nice as well but I like the thinner leaner meats you only have to cook it for like 30 seconds and then the chicken is about five minutes so I'm a little afraid of the chicken but we'll uh overcook that if you have to a little afraid of the chicken you're vegging up oh yeah gotta get those veggies all right so we're full we're stuffed full of rare steak rare Meats nice little surprises that they give you complimentary ice cream at the end and funny enough I thought they were gonna say like matcha ice cream but no they have rocky road vanilla and black cherry and went with black cherry so thumbs up so for their dinner time all you can eat is 34.95 all together and then if you want to get the drink Garden it's 2.95 on top of that so all together it was 75 dollars not bad for two so this is the black cherry ice cream complimentary so they serve you complimentary ice cream after your meal it's like that Cherry Garcia from Ben and Jerry's feeling that nice way to top off the great meal here at Momo of Paradise in Mira Mason all right Tyra what did you think of your first Momo Paradise experience so much food so good so many combinations with all the different meats and vegetables Rice and Noodles and even the drinks so overall yeah they really good did you like your ice cream yes ice cream just topped off the whole meal but it was great I'm really excited that I

restaurant nice so charminar actually used to be here in this location but it's right next door and yes we'll show you in a little bit I like the gold and the green tones of it it's very nice perfect perfect I'm happy you like it so thank you for having me back so today we'll be eating this is 40 Italy so what this is is like it's a South Indian breakfast item it's gluten free vegetarian and what it is is like fermented rice and lettuce steamed rice cakes steamed rice cakes all right this one is voila so Vada is Savory donuts and with Vera we have sambar and coconut chutney oh wow Savory Donuts I'm already about to start eating this and then we have a soup here it looks like there's some uh yes so this is Rasam is a traditional soup it goes with everything people eat it with rice people eat drink it so when someone is sick or sore throat or something it has so many spices in it it clears it up yeah nice and we got two huge plates over here what is this first one right here so this is our dosas this is our masala dosa so I wanted you to try two different type of those okay so two just to see the difference okay so this masala dosa is a plain Dosa and it has Masala stuffing in it potato stuffing in it and usually those are good with coconut chutney peanut Chutney and sambar the other one over there we don't have to grab it so that one is the paste gives its flavor it's kind of nuttier it's like dry fruit nut and different type of spices plus the Masala potatoes okay yeah and finally uh what do we have here so this is our chole Puri so we have chole shrikan and halwa so what this is is like this is the base is wheat for the Puri it's kind of like fluffy you see like it's so hot and so what do you do is like you break it you dip it it's sweet and savory uh dippings on and then like have it it's amazing man wow there's a lot of sweet and savory going on here and it was funny you brought out all this food and then I started drinking the mango Lassie I didn't even record it I already drank a whole one so thanks for giving me a second round problems thank you so much thank you and uh yeah let's uh check out charminar after we eat definitely let's start we're just gonna show you guys the new location new location the new charminar there you go all right Danny so there's a little spice to the top here so this is the rice cake and then you got a little Spice in the top so just to let you know there's a coconut and then this this other sauce which one would you want to dip into I'm gonna I'm going with the coconut yeah I'll try the other side and I'll do it the other way around all right cheers that's good that's really good that's really good yes right here so we're gonna go turn it around okay the kick through the spice is not that crazy right no not at all yeah but it's good it's a good presentation's good too look at that mmm and I'm actually hungry too that's really good that's really good that's fire I think my favorite out of the two would be have to be this one right here okay now it's gonna break apart right so yeah don't do it you gotta do it all in one bite Syed was saying that these are like breakfast yep breakfast plates so thumbs up that's the first one so same dipping sauce okay except this is like their Savory donut I love donuts so I haven't had a donut it's like a fried donut let's try it out all right I'm gonna go the other way around and try this dip we'll switch it around wow no I was not expecting that I thought it was going to be more soft I mean it's soft but I didn't know crunch yeah a little crunchy there's a little spice to that wow all right I'll just dip it in here okay this is tasty I've never had anything like that before it's not a sugar donut it's your Savory sure at first you look at it and you're like what am I gonna get but honestly after you have it you're like oh this is okay I'm feeling this what is this I think there's like potato oh yeah there is some sort of potatoes I think what he says like fermented rice and lentils in it you spread it maybe maybe like rip a piece off and take a little bit of a spread it on all sides and then we'll just yeah let's just let's just rip it tear it apart it's like a giant pancake like a crepe like a pancake I'm looking at this orangey sauce right here all right I'm gonna go right here I'm feeling this I'm starting to like vegan food I know I haven't really had vegan food all at once not like this it was really good and I think these are the same sauces as what we just had with a donut and the rice cake and then this is the only one that's different God and this okay yeah so this is like the curryish one oh yeah that's the flavor oh that's nice dip this into the coconut yeah The Taste and the consistency of the potatoes like a mushy taste to it most definitely Italian flavor explosion so this is like kind of like a Tamarind soup got cilantro in it until you can eat this with rice if you wanted oh you can tell already man there's some good spice to this wow he said you can drink out of the bowl if you want I don't know man if your spice tolerance is a high it's not like overly spicy but it creeps up on you for sure I like that I love spicy food let's see how this is oh wow yeah Jay wasn't joking it does on you all right take that nice and easy I said that if you're sick that's the one to have look at this man wow is there anything in the inside hmm yeah this definitely has a different flavor to the other one most definitely those are pretty good man yeah I don't see how us two could finish these two places they're just individual plates you'd be really full with one of these they're so much fun I think this has a little a little bit of spice to it right the season that with some spice there's most definitely a spice inside mmm not bad I actually like this I dig this that's good too it's funny I actually think the opposite I like the other one okay this one is a little bit more spicier yeah I can definitely taste the kick all right man on to the last one oh man oh okay I thought it was gonna be like a crunch but it's more of like a soft like if a balloon it's like a puffer fish the plates right yeah now he said that he just basically it's not leaving okay wow I think you can just grab use your fork for this one and stuff it and then make it into like a little ball I think that's the best way to go go forth with this you got more of a curryish taste to that and then we could try this yellow sauce here in the middle I think it's like sweet Savory sweet something like that so well that's we need to do like that that's more your sweets these are two Savory ones I believe or maybe that that actually might be sweet that actually looks sweet yeah this one's more nutty for sure like a sweet nutty honey type yeah the texture is very soft as well all right kind of like a apple sauce texture to it well there you go Doha Studio special thanks to Syed we're gonna go over to charminar
