    This dish probably costs an arm and a leg. But seeing how much thought and effort it goes into it you can say it's, come on, say it with me, "Worth it." But, seriously, this is art meets food. I would love to see more videos like this. Unique dishes and the explanation of them. They don't have to come from high end restaurants. But they have to be unique.

    I paid attention a lot to this prep of Jicama. It reminds me of something called Bengkuang in Indonesia. Apparently, they’re the same thing 😀 and Bengkuang also don’t get much attention here. Common way to Jicama in my country is to toss it in Fruit Rojak with another pieces of fruit. It tastes sweet and no starch makes it so pleasant to eat, just as juicy as pear!

I'm so disappointed I can't find an aguachile to order by me to get a taste reference before I try to make it but I think at this point I got to bite the bullet and try to make one.
