I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting and strange foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly MY point of view, but is not meant to offend any person or culture.
Snake: doesn’t want to be held.
Man: “it’s like it doesn’t want to be held”
Doesnt wanna be eaten
Doesn’t wanna be Beautiful with his family
Girls: omg plz keep dat snek away
Chef: hmmm lemme chop it!
snake: pikachu face
So sad :-(
I hope this guy gets a tv show one day he's videos are literally better quality then the current tv shows of people traveling to eat different foods
totally totally agree
I agree, Sonny beat Andrew Zimmerman hands down! specially that Sonny said"oh durian, it smells like fruit whats the big deal" Zimmerman couldn't eat it.
erick zavala so true
I hope not. This guy is doing fine on his own.
He deserve at least 1m subs
Your rule depending endangered Animals just earned you my biggest respect. You are great!!!
Those salamanders are meant for display and as pets. Not for food, its illegal to eat them in China
I think those are farm-raised salamanders. those animals are endangered in the wild, but there is nothing illegal about eating a domestic one. He checks Wikipedia about those softshell turtles that listed as VU and decides not to eat them when you can find those turtles in many US supermarkets.
Salamanders are endangered but only farmed ones are legal to be sold/eaten in China. If you get caught with wild endangered species in China you are seriously fucked. Plus for farms like salamander farms and soft shell turtle farms, they are actually required by law to release a number of their animals to wild annually and are proven to help with the population of endangered animals in China.
Not gonna lie i want it him to eat that salamander
Shush
out of all the odd and weird food he eats this dude is like I dont like cucumbers... for real?
It reminds me of how Andrew Zimmern doesn't like walnuts. It caught me off guard, but I totally understand. We all like what we like! 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly cucumbers are pretty tasteless too
@@spokyeyeball5711 well you can use some masala on them , then they can be tasty.
Oh I can just eat a whole cucumber with nothing I think they are tasty
Or it’s just that our cucumbers are tasty idk it
They are kind of sweet or sour here
Sea cucumbers?
you’re probably one of the few youtubers who actually makes me so hype over your videos. what an amazing human being u are. keep inspiring and bring joy to people.
Ana Nicole Enriquez hahahahahahhaha lol
Nice bro
I agree. I fell for his sunny disposition right after a few seconds, then i saw his name and knew we were on the same page.
Then i hoped that i wouldn’t be disappointed, but instead it got even better: very respectful towards other people and other cultures. No sensation seeking by making fun of other people’s food.
He‘s inspiring. I have all the openness and tolerance, but i‘m not the funny type.
He makes me laugh so much.
He brings hunger and joy.
Eat human. We've got enough of those
Let's start with you!!
Lol
Manas Das Is that a “I volunteer as tribute” I hear?
@@Max0429. SKSKAKDKAK
Pretty sure people do that when shit hits the van and no foodproducts are delivered to big cities anymore. Some peeps have no morals and would eat anything to stay alive. 😑
5:30
Solid guy. For real. I respect his outlook and consideration for his actions if he ate the turtle. Even taking the time to research the thing instead of just sayin “fuck it”.
Vegetarian ( indian*) thinking this is aquarium tour 😂😂 lol
😂😂😂😂✋
😂😂😂
😂🤣
Ssss
🤣💯
I laughed so hard when he stuck his hand in the crab aquarium and the crab wanted to pinch him and fell over
RIP MS CRAB 🦀
Lol I read this comment before watching it unfold... disappointed, thought it was Sonny that was going to fall over.
Yes, it was so clumsy that it was cute again.
I was gonna like but since you have 666 likes I cant
Me too lmao😂😂😂
You're like an older Logan Paul, but totally different personality
wtf.. 😱
I was literally about to say this and everytime I watch this I think about Logan Paul 😂😂
Don't compare those two. It's a dishoner lol
Kind of like a Rob gronkowski Logan Paul mix
He just needs to stay away from forests
Okay, I'm here for the guy more than the food. This guy is hilarious, so respectful of other cultures, amazing at carrying the show, and did I say hilarious?
Damn he's awesome!
I remember a story my parents told me when I was a kid. When they went to adopt me they went with a few other families who were also adopting children from China, and they happened across a street vendor. A family happened to get stopped and was asked, "would you like to try snack." They said sure, and ate a piece. Said it was super good and asked the vendor, "What is this." They said, it was [snake]." They had misunderstood the vendor and thought they were eating a snack, not snake. Always made me giggle a little.
Wow you're adopted sucks
Not really
I bet they are good parents
@@-Explosion- bro wtf was even that
Pujan Magar I honestly don't know I might have been awake till 4am and my brain just stopped working
Thank you for not eating endangered species!
Lets eat just the others..... to make them endangeroud :D
Genius 😅

You can feel the regret while he's eating that cucumber
Ikr, he said Mmm but his expression was like Eww/yuck. LMBO!!!
Sea cucumbers are priced delicacy in China he's lucky to be eating a cucumber that size
Sea cucumbers are expensive as heck. They're delicious if you fry them the right way.
I like sea cucumber (hoi sem). Very tasty and expensive.
Nederlands?
1:39, *Goldfish Has Left The Chat.*
the snake: *squirming*
sonny, an empath: *sensing that the snake doesn’t want to be held*
Snake: *tries to wriggle to get free*
Sonny: Why'd you do that?
🤣🤣🤣 That moment between Sonny and that snake priceless....
This guy reminds me of Logan Paul except he’s actually a likable person
I see it
He reminds me of draw with jazza🤣
Just saw this now
He's Logan Paul's dad
DaKingOfGames Nah man Logan Paul’s dad is very annoying and very not funny
Rest of the world:
China: "That looks delicious"
You have to expand it South East Asia & East Asia when referring exotic cuisines.
Tbh all asian countries. We just have more developed tastebuds as the majority of the world.

It's fun to watch you explore world cuisine, exclaiming "bro!" when you come across a new and unique ingredient, but I very much appreciate your evolution and growth represented in your more recent videos. I relate to your excitement and naivety in these older episodes from my own personal experiences (most specifically the bougie dining table experience and unique dishes), but more so relate to the equal excitement and cultural respect I've seen in future episodes on this channel. Thank you for sharing your journey and keeping your standards high!
him describing eating a sea cucumber is the funniest thing ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sadly I think someone else will eat the giant salamander. At least the salamander will have fond memories of the kind American who let him go.
The giant salamander is not in wild
Anna Nguyen rip lmao welp atleast the salamander got to survive for a little longer i mean
some of the fish are not for eating.. for the gold fish which is not, the salamander is anot not for eating
giant salamander is eaten in china though, though most people don't
personally i been to that place.. it wasnt for eatin in there , and my comment is only for this video, for this restaurant
Anything: *exists*
Sonny, an intellectual: Food
Meliodas Sama The Chinese: food
Unless it’s endangered lol
Unless it’s endangered lol
Babies aren’t food pls
For a Chinese person, the best part of this video was watching an American use the metric system
I clicked subscribe right away after knowing he refused to eat endangered animals. Thank u for being so considerate! Love from Indonesia
who is here after Corana virus breakout?
😂me
🙋♀️ I don't know why this man is eating this kind of food is not healthy at all
@@chatgitteh6818 his challenge is to eat what other people eating,i cant eat more than half of the food he eats in his journey 😂
what blank? Me
Sonny:But first I need to figure out what’s on tonight’s menu
*camera pans over to Chinese women*
Me: Oh no

Everyone: WhO's HeRe aFtEr cOrOnAvIrUs
Me: Iv'e been here for awhile...
StrawBerry Mochiz Me too. He’s entertaining and fun to watch
animal: *is critically endangered*
china: AND?
In fact, in China, most of the giant salamanders for food are aquaculture products, rather than wild ones. It is illegal to sell and eat wild giant salamanders in China, generally.
I appreciate the insult
@@kagavc6278 actually, if they are priced at that price, it must be, otherwise, it would be a hell of a lot more expensive, and the police would be all over their ass.
Don’t the salamanders bottom feeders and clean up the tank
How can u know if China really eats endangered animals, u probably never been to the country and ur not Chinese. It’s like saying a fact or something without actually knowing if it is true. Think before u speak or type.
Did any one notice that the snake is shedding
Mee
@Andres Rangel lol the anxiety part is true, the shedding because of that part is bullshit haha
@@paulwilkinson8977 Oh naw buddy. It's supposed to shed in one piece but poor health, nutrition and not enough moisture makes it a tough process for the snake. Fact check yourself next time mate instead of being a complete arse.
I did
@@andresrangel8612 you literally just said the real reasons for the poor shed. I didn't have to fact check, you saying anxiety was causing the snake to shed was and still is bullshit. You said it's not shedding, then in your reply you said it is, and is having issues.
What you just mentioned will cause shed PROBLEMS, not cause shedding. Abrasions from rubbing against the enclosure a snake is kept in look a lot different than just a poor shed.
Sonny and the snake 🤣 that was hilarious! So happy to hear Sonny’s responsible criteria for what foods he a will and will not eat ❤️
9:18 Plot Twist: They're not running from the snake, they're running from the white man ahahHahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA skskskskks sorry 🤣🤣🤣
My point exactly, regarding the endangered species....huge respect for you #SonnySide
the wild species of salamander in China is protected and you will be punished by law, but most restaurants has captive breeding salamander so it is just like chicken or pork.
Well either way lol if you don't eat it someone else will and they will be extinct anyways xD just saying you know
Shut up beta species pussy
But the snake is endangered
Lalhundika Chhakchhuak many species sea cucumbers are also endangered. Plus they taste like shit and are only eaten because people in Asia believe it’s some sort of miracle food.
Giant salamander is so endangered and it is also highly sought after at the same time that it is farmed in China. However, you did good by not eating it as I don't think there is any proof that the salamander that you see are the farmed one.
It is called Baby/Infant fish (wa wa yu in Mandarin) cause it sound like a crying baby.
The proof is that the restaurant is still operating
Another proof is the price. If that’s a wild and endangered fish, it wouldn’t only cost like $25 a pound. The price is on the fish tank.
2:16
Sonny: hey buddy
Crab: AAAHHAAAHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! *tries to pinch him*
*Rolls onto back*
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
“okayyyy this is like the foresk...”😂😂😂
Better than food review shows on TV
Cuz it's the best ever food review show
“It’s like it doesn’t wanna be held”
Me: Ya no shit
Funny comment but it should have been no shit sherlock
Guess catching sarcasm isn’t your best attribute
After warching this I am convinced that there is noone braver than a Chinese cook
I hate that it took UA-cam so long to show me your channel!! I have been watching soooo much. Great team, editing, co hosts , and of course Sonny!
eating wild endangered animals is forbidden in china as well (connected with very hard punishment. worst case/ u can be punished to death if u kill a panda). the animals u see in restaurants are mostly from special farms. they r allowed to breed and sell them for restaurants. this farms have to release a special amount of the endangered animals they breed to the wild to keep them from extinction
Sam Z. Most of the penalty's are next to none such as killing a Chinese giant salamander can lead to a $6 fine
That was past, now selling/trading endangered species can you get into serious trouble.
Dragon Gaming Are you living in the 1960s ?
nowaday there are no borders if its about endangered animals
lol i mean that they will follow u and get u even if u cross the border. reasently i heard of chinese police here in austria because of something like that. and they surely dont come here just because of 6 dollar of fine. hahahaha
Good job you're doing a good thing by educating people, forget the bad comments.
"That was an experience" is Always a polite way to say you don't like something 😂😂😂
Sonny you are a huge success, proud of your accomplishments
After the camera shut down, he has eaten the salamander and the turtle 😂
Lol
Dwl
And the chief eats the camera man
Afterthe camera is shut down
Lol
Wtf isis
The snake 🐍 doesn’t wanna be held bcz u can tell it was sheading😭
Welp it’s dead anyways
Just Josh 😂😂😂😂
Just Josh tuff🤣
Just Josh 😂😂😂😂😂😂
RoboInk _ u should get your face fixed before I give u permission to speak to me thank u🌸🌸🥰😘
you can eat anything and I will still watch you, Sonny!
that snake looks great !
am I the only one getting hungry after watching this guy eat ? 🙄
Felt awful seeing those poor endangered animals on menu ....😔
I want them to repupulate in a area so they will back in safe animals
When they see those endangered animals they only saw $$$ money in it. They didn't care if it will go extinct in next decade or a year.
Its thier culture and law
They are farmed version. Not wilde and endangered
Same
China , please stop eating everything that moves ...
Ankit Singh lol
Now de rest of de whole is paying 4 it... Corona virus
if its sentient, we’re eating it
Yeah now they got the whole world sick
I most eat it
Everything in menu card, Everything!🦇
im glad that this was filmed in 2017
This man needs his own discovery channel show for real 😳
Miszory nah they’d ruin the already perfect execution of this amazing show 👌🏻💯
I think I remember hearing him say he has a show in production with the travel channel. idk though.
K
If he did I’d hope he was more well read about this stuff before he gets there
He almost did!
Idk why but I feel like goldfish would taste weird. 😂
Nah they crunchy.Didn't eat it but know it.
AT LEAST IT'LL SMILE BACK *slaps knee*
Yeah goldfish/carp is garbage. Bunch of bones and scales, taste terrible unless you season the hell out of them.
@@paulwilkinson8977 what are you crazy carp is amazing
neozen it’s supposed to be disgusting and partly poisonous
I laughed a ton at this episode 💀 🤣
I have consecutively watched Sonny's from Thailand,Japan and now China..and my space is actually smelling like fish...everything is smelling fish right now..😂
"What's great about this aquarium is that you get to eat all the animals" 😂 oh my goshhh. don't say that. Kids are gonna be like, "mommy, can I eat the snake?" 🤣
Exactly, that needs to happen 😂
Do you know what aquarium means?
Snake taste good( just dont over cook em)
Infinity J haha 😂 that’s a good one ☝️ lol 😂
yes, chinese want to try every kind of meat, even panda, lol. but panda is national treasure
This is the most cultured American I’ve ever seen !!
Indeed
You and your crew are doing a great job keep it up
every vidoe - Sonny: "does it increase stamina and seamen?" lol
Sonny, thank you for having a conscience and rules on not eating endangered animals. My kids watch you too, so watch it!
Your facial expressions are so hilarious! Lmao!!! You're alot braver than I am with tasting oddities. Great job! Thanks for sharing! Lol
Nice video
Me: "What are we eating today?"
China: "Yes"
I don't understand
Come to srilanka.there are lot of traditional vegetarian foods
That snake was shedding
It would have gotten bigger
I also feel bad for it
Yes me too
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO EAT
That snake looks like it wasn't actually shedding, it looks like a previous shed was stuck to it. That usually means that the animal was not being taken care of properly.
I would NEVER eat a snake. As a person who grew up with 5 snakes and mom working at at pet shop I love animals, even rats and all the above.
Bro I thought it had dust all over it when they brought it out c. I wouldn’t be surprised because of where it was staying, but after when it was in the light it was actually shedding yeesh🤢😢
we ain't here AFTER corona- were here during the alert of corona.
yh 20 years from now shit will hit the books.
yeap we are in during not after
I’m in corona😭😭😭
Tbh I can’t wait till y’all get it cause y’all love to be racist 😁
@lindsey perez no one said anything racist, you werido
Salamanders and soft shell turtles are raised in farms in China. If the restaurant tells you those animals were from the wild, please report to the authorities.
Cool, I also read that book “Dale Carnegie”
5:30 that’s the turtle that almost killed gumball and Darwin
Hank Hill hahahahaha
Rofl....true words
I’m fucking mad I get this

Let’s Get to 5,000 subs with only 2 videos lol
The look of jealousy when holding the geoduck was real 😂😂😂
Im amazed at how he enjoys the fried snake better than the cucumber😊
I love this man😍
This is so underrated!
You need to easily have 1+ million subs. Keep this up!
This content isn't expected from a channel with 230! You're far ahead of the game.
As an expert on reptiles, it saddens me that people don't realize that snakes are just regular animals. They're not very intelligent, they can't curse you, I play with them on a weekly basis. all they do is just search around for food and warmth. They're not evil, and they can feel fear, pain and hunger just like any other animal. They're actually very sweet and gentle once you handle one for a minute or two. I've let wild watersnakes hang around my neck like a scarf, and they're one of the most aggressive on my continent. They only become aggressive when they think you're gonna hurt them. Once you show them that you're not a threat, they just cuddle against you for warmth. I've been doing this for fifteen years, and have barehand handled hundreds of venomous snakes and spiders. Including recluses and vipers. And all were wild specimens.
They are tasty tho. I guess snake from mgs3 wasn't wrong
It saddens me that you don’t realize most people see snakes as just another species of animal.
They are also delicious
But i totally agree with your point
You don't have any idea about indian civilization .Indian don't see snakes as evil or any other species in the world .They worship and respect every thing in the universe. Even for snake there is special ritual called nagapanchami celebrate all over the india since ancient time's.
Being a vegetarian It just kinda disgusts me but it also entertains me..Anyways I love your videos :)Any Indians watching this!
His expression after eating sea cucumber was like WHY AM I EATING THIS. 😂😂😂😂
You chose the wrong Geoduck. Pick one that is not suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Thats one way to describe it...
Bahahaha!
???
boomskie bentox LMAO
Omg i fucking took this seriously lol 😂
With the way many caucasion or western vloggers act when in another country and trying new and exotic things, I must commend you Sonny. It's a shame that something this mundane which should be normal in all of us needs to be mentioned. I love that you are always polite, pleasant and keep your composure in every situation and not make a scene like others do. You know, when they are screaming and yelling and totally overexaggerating everything? In other words, being a douchebag. It's so refreshing to see someone like you.
Confession though. At first glance you do look like you would be "one of those". lol. Sorry.
Him VS Logan Paul. He wins by Infinity
Mai Bui ya know what, he kinda looks a bit like logan Paul now that you mention it... I think it's the eyes.
Try that in America
He lived in South Korea for a long time!
CommentCop Badge#666 tbh hes a little over the top but I feel it's just enough to keep it fun and upbeat not to the point where it's annoying like top chef or something. I like that hes willing to try everything, at least from what I've seen, and doesnt hold his palette and ideas of normalcy against anything he tries
ive clicked on this video 5 times in the last 3 years, saw the snake, cried and clicked off the video, I have a phobia. this is going to be the time I watch it.
It's 2020 I will just take your word for the taste of titled dishes ok. I love your show.
“Mainly for the stamina” - Best ever food review show
"I think I can get used to it eventually" he says about the sea cucumber.
Bruh, I grew up with that stuff popping up in family dinners more often than I'd like and even I'm not used to it.
Trust me, these foods may look weird, or even horrifying, they are Super Delicious! And they aren't that rare either. I mean, snakes are harder to find, but sea cucumbers and geoducks are common delicacies that can be found almost everywhere.
But they're delicious :D
Bet you there's a garden snake in my garden rn
15:05 "Yah know, it looks like Kentucky Fried Snake" 🐍 🤣
2:16
Sonny: hey buddy
Crab: *small stroke*
That is really cool that you steer away from endangered and threatened critters. Much luv to you.💗 you are setting a really good example. ✌💗🤘
Tank Girl yes, on camera-where he will he held accountable for it... Maybe
Who knows what he wont eat Off camera
Val Naim I’m pretty sure no one from the west wants to eat a Chinese salamander off the camera either...
Exotic animals are usually eaten by Asians bcoz of apparent health benefits.. so yeah..
Elizabeth Amante Finger Too often does China( and many other Asian countries) kill endangers animals under the guise of 'traditional medicine', which usually have zero evidence of any medical calur whatsoever
@@elizabethamantefinger1310 or we eat it because meat is meat and we respect everything that is edible, its your culture that made buffalos/tazamanian tiger extinct, also according to a documentary i saw American almost hunted whales to extinction..... so yeah
He said so much with few words while eating that sea cucumber 🤣🤣🤣
So glad he didn’t eat the giant salamander. I would’ve cried. Thank you❤️
Can we have a moment of silence for the Chinese giant salamander rest in piece big guy😭😭😭
He didn’t even eat it
Convertbtw I know he didn’t but someone else probably did
@@MartinDartin-vo9ro While i don't believe in it myself, my hope is that its a pet for someone now.
Of course the snake didn’t want to be held - didn’t want to be killed!! 😭
And he ate a sea cucumber and a sea p~.......
Grow up tree hugger!
Penis xD?
And neither would brocolis if they were conscious.
The snake doesnt fucking know itll be killed. Its cause they're not used to being held
it was a joke..its funny because its obvious
When he holds the giant clamp and says "We are on the right track, it's not trying to bite me or scratch me" To myself i was like that's because its a defenseless animal it kinda made me feel sad but that's the tough reality of our world you either eat or be eaten
Wow I have that book he mentioned at the beginning
