Phenom Penh Cambodia
Two hours after arriving here, we find ourselves in a police station being questioned for six hours our crime
[throwning] the next day ten more hours of questioning
They took my drone. They took my phone. Well. You know what they can't take my heart whether they like it or not
We are going to make the best damn fool videos this country has ever seen
Let's go. Today, we're in Cambodia's capital
Phnom penh this noisy energetic city is home [to] what was once Asia's largest market. Hi,is this central market?
Welcome to Central market
built in
1937 the Phnom Penh
Central market Draws
Swarms of Travelers and locals alike and not even found a few fans the show today on the [best-ever] food review show we eat
right quick
This place has everything you can shop for clothes buy some fresh produces
Haggle over jewelry or electronics you can even get a fish cut in half and you're only steps away from a deep hair washing
But I'm not here [for] any of [that]
I've been sent directly by the food gods themselves [to] find the best tasty [treats] this place has to offer [now]
What kind of fruit is it?
We'll try some yummy dessert
Let's try that on this thing one of these and a few things I've never seen [before] [what] is this
Step 1 find a joint that's Super busy with zero westerners
You can see this place is super popular mainly among locals the whole place is [tech] even a person next to me either
Where are you from?
[okay] from Phenom Penh? why do you think they're like no no foreigners here?
it's been under water for two days and this catabolic facility [or]
Organ meats yeah, so [they're] a little scared foreigners are a little scared of the organ meats some of y'all think [you're] travelers
But your food game is weak. Okay. You're afraid of food poisoning, or oh, I don't want to eat a
chicken butt or a cow a testicle or
Whatever this is. If you don't know what it is
All you have to do is ask. First on today's menu and assortment of mysterious skewered organ meat. Is this intestine?
Intestine looks like stomach, liver
meatball and the next pork
intestine skin
Ear, oh pork ear. This looks like really like one of those hair follicle diagrams
That's good [-] can I ask you what is your favorite one?
Meatball oh, that's a lung
Do I have lung?
Yeah, this one. This one. Oh my god. I don't know that
I've ever had lung and I thought it would be more you know hollow inside for that. We're just like where did the air go
Somehow the Air goes in here and the animals can breathe they really all have a similar
Smell and it's a bit similar taste, but I think it's all about the texture they all have like a different feeling
Yeah
It's good. Do you like the lung you like the texture? Yeah?
Mmm, the lung has it's like chewy but not not hard so it's kind of chewy and soft at the same time so it's all
About finding the texture that works for you. This spot is adorable. Next time you're at Central market in Phenom penh
And you see these skewers. I mean they're about 25 cents to skewer. Give it a try you know
What do you have to lose ?
I Mean well aside from the obvious, but come on, do it you got to build up your immune system eventually
From your restaurant, what is your most famous dish - I have a noodle soup and I have a fried noodle
and I have chicken with the [steamed] rice and I have fresh spring rolls
All of that sounds amazing, but I'm looking for something a little more next level than fried Rice or spring rolls
This is [...] my head
Central market also has a huge seafood selection including whatever the heck this thing is. It looks like if you had a lobster and then
Just cut off the tail and then somehow just the tail is alive still
You got me
eggs egg wow Tom okay, [hahaha]
Thank you. Thank you. I'm finished that little guys will to live is strong, but for this next food. Well, it's too late
How much is this one?
This is five thousand
Cool. We're cool
Boo thank you
Somebody posted on YouTube a while back saying that I should eat squid the thing is you know you've lived in Asia for way
Too long when squid is no longer weird. It's just kind of normal now like even in Korean movie theatres
They sell buttered squid and popcorn like you can get to it and popcorn at the theater in Korea and probably other countries, too
so today she has
barbecued up some squids and I'm
I'm gonna eat them you understand how this works find out right I get the food and then I eat it
But what happens after that? Nobody knows?
I'm not even exaggerating it tastes really good and
the little end you know you could call it like the little finger of
The squid they're kind of crunchy and burned all they're all [Carcinogen]
It's perfect tastes so good. I mean it feels so good it feels to N. taste, right?
You are trying to slowly
Get into you know travel foods. I'm going to try this new thing don't start with the coconut worm don't start with that
But do start with some squids because it doesn't have a strong flavor
It often just tastes like whatever sauce you put it in and the texture is you know everyone's had paula Mari
so it's not that much different than that just without the breading [ah]
Can I look at it?
Woah, is this banana? What is that one?
Like a palm tree
You can eat a palm tree
I didn't know you could do that. Ok we're going to try this because
It always freaks me out when I see it because it looks like bars of soap
So there are a ton of these deserts where you put the ice in the desert to keep it cool
but also you get the crunch of the ice. It might seem a little bit odd at first.
But If there's so much that's right about it. Okay again. She said this is Palm
I don't know someone in the comments can correct me and call me an idiot
But I don't know what it is for sure
To me, It looks like a bar of soap, and I love the smell of soap
So let's hope it's also the taste of soap what okay here we go
[woah] oh
I'm getting a little fish a little bit fish smell. Oh my [...]. I'm so confused
I just looked over and there's like 10 stalls of raw beef over here, and fish wow this is probably the most like meatiest
Substantial fruit I've ever had. It's almost like the potato of fruit. It's just a little bit sweet from the condensed milk
but the coconut
Doesn't really add to any of the sweetness. Wow we found something kind of crazy guys isn't that crazy. What's your name?
your name
Sir Avian wow beautiful name, okay, sorry let me go down to your level
Okay, no come back
What's happening? I got why are you ready? So everybody like this one?
Okay, well, thank you so much
This is been
Entertaining and insightful, I think we learned a lot do you agree? Yes?
Okay, well could you tell me what is this one?
It's named [...]
This is fried? ah oh everything is fried. I think
Okay, okay. I'm pretty sure I've had these before that. It's just basically sweet fried dough
But it is the texture is so perfectly chewy
and Again, it's just kind of like a big piece of dough that's been fried, and there's nothing wrong with that. Inside is super doughy still
So I mean it's cooked, but it's doughy
And the outside is crunchy and together
It's what God intended you know for us to eat
It's probably my favorite dessert in Southeast Asia is that one right there. Wrapping things up with one final dessert. A classic found all over
Cambodia - the fried Banana. There's a fried banana
They've made it better. Okay. We got a batter and there's egg. There's rice
There's coconut and sugar and that's what's coating on the outside of this banana. It smells
Very Banana II and in a fried way very good
Good
It doesn't look like oh my God. I have to have that
But it has such a nice
exoskeleton crunch the best kind of Banana, Exoskeleton and then soft
Sweet banana on the inside. it's hard on the outside and a little sensitive on the inside like me
This is only a tiny fraction of the food available at Central market
Next time you're in town. Don't be afraid to try something new and remember: don't think, just chew
Happy Lunar New Year. I hope all your lunar dreams come true. Maybe throw me a sub or I mean or don't
Whatever feels right, that's what you should do. Thanks for watching we'll see you next week. What's up from Vietnam.Piece
