In western logic *Asia= China, japan, korea*
Sometime india got noticed too, mostly in food video
just a random pasenger passes by lmao 😂
just a random pasenger passes by and Philippines
( I literally had to search it up to remember what the name was)
There many other countries like :
Vietnam
Philippines
Indonesia
Thailand
Singapore
Malaysia
Ect.
@@yukichan1630 i know
Ikr but mostly its China Japan and Korea
Seems like many people did not understand my comment
I meant that people mostly consider china japan and korea as asia
"Hi I'm Maggie!"
Indians: hold my roti
Maleeha K 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
for those who don’t get the joke Maggie is an Indian instant noodle company that’s really popular
@@puthydestroyer3673 Thank you couldn't have said it better myself! I'm a Pakistani and I loveee Maggie noodles cuz they are ACTUALLY SPICY
@@maleehak1060 Me too I like their chicken soup too
@@Manzar534 yep. In the UK they sell the curry flavoured and it it incredibly flavourful. It tastes like the spicy curry my mum makes.
"Street Treats Around Asia"
me, Southeast Asian: lemme guess. is it from Japan/China/Korea/India?
Is their southeast asia too??
@@GauravSingh-wl8el bruh
Only one dish from india that was not anything like jalebi
Bangladesh: am i a jOke tO yOu
same i am from pakistan and it doesnt come in any video
There's no point in making a video about food around *Asia* when you're just gonna include the same four countries everytime.
This is my favourite comment😂
Facts 😂
Bro chill their just showing food I was really happy to know how to make the hk street food cuz I always eat it
they probably dont have like producers from some countries (as its mainly the obvious once which get to come to the USA), thats why i rarely see them from Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, etc..
i guess they dont include middle asia because they're arent any employees from there and when they see people from other countries they're gonna complain
Wouldn't it be a plot twist if one of them said "it's horrible"
Pretty much
Your name is mildly disturbing
I would make a Ćevap and say its horrible
Or if it had oil or cinnamon
@@defunctaccount9803 Haha, that's what I was thinking the whole time watching the video!
Why does greasy and oily food have to be so good...
Lily Vuong because......
evolution
It's a just because(DONT JUDGE HOW FOOD IS MADE AND ITS TECHNIQS)
Bad things are the best things.
Lily Vuong hrtt was
that jalebi shape is giving me heartache😂 , love jalebi tho , one of my fav sweet
I live in the Middle East and I’ve been having that Indian dessert every Ramadan it’s soooo good😍
Sahur or Iftar?
Edit: or both?
Spice _61 both
I live I Oman and I am an Indian and I enjoy Arabic food sm
I live in Pakistan, and trust me, I'd kill for this. And get killed by my mom for eating it.(cuz its hella sweet, and yells diabetes at yo face)
Metoo! Every Ramadhan sometimes Sehri sometimes Iftar
“Around Asia” to Tasty only ever means 3 East Asian countries and India, never anything from the South East or South other than India.. just saying
AND NEPAL
Usually Korea, China, Japan and India
True.. like there are so many countries... there
True, but maybe it's because the ones showing these recipes are their own buzzfeed producers coming from asia. It's not like they have hundreds of producers lol
That indian guy didn't even know how to properly fry them, as in the shape
It’s gonna be a big problem for my waistline , but I’ll be happier :’)
I'M CRYING, GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
mood.
Carol Turner bitch chill
relatable
Meoww Mowww i
I live in India
This is not jalebi I don’t know what he did,
orginal colour is golden and what he did
Exactly!
@Mahima Romanoffsallymw cough cough colour golden though
Yeah it did look weird I never would’ve used all purpose flower srsly and do not put turmeric in there I recommend Safran
@Mahima Romanoffsallymw No one's spreading hate here. This DOES NOT look like jalebi. And when you are representing something, it needs to be a proper representation. Here the "jalebi" looks like some western sugar cookie (or some interpretation of pretzels).
Ah yes, Tasty picked the countries in Asia that people think of usually.
(Side note: I'm Indo-Canadian and I have had real jalebi before, but what in the hell did that guy make, it wasn't jalebi.)
I’ve noticed Indians living in America are way most whitewashed than Indians living in Canada, here you can embrace your culture and everyone speaks their native language at home. All my cousins in America don’t know our native language
@@Abcdefg-rk8jk yep tru
It was jalebi but he was not able to make proper shape of jalebi and fried it a little extra that's why it turned brown
@@sairask9275 The jalebi batter isnt made of normal flour, it is made of some kind of lentil flour (Arhar dal we call it in WB) which gives a natural tang to it. You dont need to add lemon juice for it.
@@sudippaul2876 yeah there are diffrent ways of making jalebi in different places some ppl do add lemon to chaasni
Guys please don't put turmeric if you wanna add colour, it's gonna tAste weird! You can add saffron milk may be
Isn’t saffron expensive
Little bit
I think commerical turmeric will add the weird flavour. Pure ground turmeric (you know the ones that are always around during Pongal in South India) will give you only the colour.
On the other hand, Kasturi turmeric won't give you any color, so if you want to use turmeric for cosmetic purposes but want to avoid the stain, use this turmeric. :)
I shouted "NO' when he said turmeric, you can add saffron milk, its soo good and I get it cheaply for 30 cents
or food colouring
Asian street food is the undisputed best. Sad how we don't have night markets or street stalls here in the US. And if you want something, it's significantly more expensive as well. Thanks for the video (even though I'm probably not going to make any of this)
weasel IKR? Seems no matter what country it is, we always have a night street market. You could tell you've entered one by the smell coming at you of fried, grilled, and steamed foods, like....damn.
weasel fr and how in Korea the rest areas are also so much better ! In America you get lucky if you somehow find a vending machine (it could be different in other parts of the US but everywhere I’ve to, it’s been the same.)
weasel I
You can actually find a few in America like in California ,which has a high Vietnamese population compared to other states, there's a Vietnamese night market where you can get food, clothes, etc.
Mi Nguyen Lucky... I live in St. Louis (middle of nowhere) and there's absolutely nothing here.
Nobody:
Maggie: I'm Korean, my grandma lives in Korea. Korea
I thought you were talking about the noodles for a while💀
Did you know, there is a place called Korea in India also🤣.. It's in chattisgarh state I think.
Across Asia!? They didn't even include Middle East, West Asia and South East Asia.
The concept of Asian for Tasty somehow limited only the East Asian countries and India
India is in South Asia
Do you want them to bring you the whole Asia in a dish.
Biche I wanna simple video not a whole coke book.
SToP bEiNg KarEn.
ma ria i don’t think they meant having a dish from every single country in Asia, just maybe one from a large area, like a recipe from a country in east Asia, another recipe from Southeast Asia, west Asia, Central Asia, just more diversity in the regions of Asia, especially since east Asia is pretty popular in western culture already.
@@itzjelly5005 well that's what I mean.
Across Asia = China, Japan, Korea, 5% India
The lack of representation of other asian countries especially south asian makes me sad.
@@junehoneycrisp pay attention mate, southeast and south Asia is two different places.
hey india's there at least. Middle east and southeast Asia didn't even get any mention. For goodness sake, we're the biggest continent on earth!
Litiretly almost every south or south-east asian said this
I guess pretty is on the inside.
Central Asia, West Asia : Are we a joke to you?
If daraius doesnt clear his throat I'm gonna scream
don't be so rude ;-;
But then you lose your voice lol
Scream the hell u want to. Because nobody can hear u, imao
There are a variety of people and variety of accents and u should respect that, if u don't get what I'm saying try saying hindi, well see how u say that in the perfect Indian accent like Darian
It’s not about the accent, haha but i felt sorry for him being sick and making the video at the same time
That was the strangest jalebi I’ve ever seen in my life.
„Around Asia“
Me seeing india: yes so not just east Asia👏🏼👏🏼
Me at the end of the video: well...
_donuts_ around asia
Oh yea
Yeah, around Asia and they'll only show 4 countries... WOW.
Asian foods.... THE MIDDLE EAST IS ASIAN TOO *TASTY*
Piko Canavarı OMG YES
AND CENTRAL ASIA

Jalebis are AMAZING
Ishan Ali they look good, but does all the sugar come from the syrup
Are you Indian?
Anthony Pella some jalebis have honey instead of syrup
They really are!😍
they are the best 😭💖
2:19
he a baby
he not a lady
but most importantly
he chomp the jalebi
his mom is beautiful..in the most respectful way.
so emotional... I’m crying
Great now I want Jalebi's
@@sabenerizvi7840 welcome to india wanna try biryani ?
Well said
I live in Asia and I love noodles. Okay when I was little, there was a brand of instant noodles called Maggi. So , whenever I see someone named Maggi, I would just laugh like crazy
I don't know where you live, but in India we still have maggi and basically disliking maggi is a crime here😂
maggie's sleeves were giving me anxiety
Seriously...whole time i was like stretch them up girl!
Exactly😂
I have to stretch my sleeves up to my shoulders because I know they're gonna fall off again and people ask me if I'm going in the kitchen or for a war😂
Jalebis actually look sooooo....... much more better than what he has prepared. It's like an art. These jalebis look horrifying.
Romil K I remember eating them for the first time from an Indian co-worker and they tasted so good. But I forgot how they were called and thanks to this I not only have a name but also a recipe :D Love love love them
And the way he pronounced it ughhhh
Pinkie Pride OMG RIGHT! man my brown soul is cringing with all her might
Farah Farahway I KNOW. It’s pronounced “JUH le bee” not JAAAA LEBIII
Omg 😂. You should see mine.
Surprised my parents didn’t disown me
jalebi was overfried (uf that's even a word) . It is more on like bright orange but yours looked brown
Emily Singh looks more like pretzels to me.i hope it tasted like jalebi tho
Maybe he wanted it crispy lol
Nobody:
Tasty: Putting Jalebi in the thumbnail😂😂
putting that messed up one too ;-;
Its lovely to see how food and culture brings people together :)
I speak some chinese and cantonese and "yow-za-kwai" means Deep fried ghost in english XD
She cooks the thing me and my bro loves, but it looks different
Theres some history behind that name actually, you should look it up
Also I know you got it from the subtitles but it's you za kway ^^
I can only understand Cantonese and Chinese
birb there’s a history behind the name of it :)
油炸鬼??
I am so damn happy to see India in this video. I'm not Indian or any type of Asian, but they sometimes get left out when people think of Asia. Nice to see them represented.
Night Angel love from India ❤️
Ikr? I've noticed that so many times!! 🙄
Actually, it's the opposite. I've been asked if I were Indian before Asian a crap ton of times.
FreezeBurn 1 where r u from?
British Pakistani
I used watch "jewel in the palace" when i was kid.. Finally i have heard about it after sooo long 😍😍
I just had to subscribe your channel is more than just food its bringing countries together
Yow-za-kwai -> zakwai -> jakwai -> jakwe -> cakwe.
i just know this treat is come from Hongkong, people in Indonesia called it Cakwe, i love being informed :)
its pronounced cakwe, but its spelled cakoi
OMG i just realized😂😂😂😂😂
You got *saffron!?!*
*Now that is dedication right there.*
When i heard youtiao it hit home lol it’s one of my top 3 favourite snacks and i 100% recommend eating it
I love these episodes, it's so inspiring to see all the foods as they are originally made with just the peoples hands 💞
The way he pronounced jalebi no wonder they didn’t look right
Silvia Plath don't be so rude
LOOOOL YGM
Silvia Plath right? Who says jaelebis? 😂
Americanised much? 😯
Silvia Plath I don't live in India but I definitely know jalebis don't look like that, you can find perfect jalebis even in my country! Gosh, they should have brought in someone who actually knew what they were doing!
Vanditta Diwakar
This is probably why they do the same things over and over. People beg them to make something from India or someplace else, but when they do it, everybody complains that they got it all wrong.
I'm an Indian and I absolutely love jalebis !
Shreya Pattnaik hate 'em. 😝
Amélie Poulain HOW ?
I'm malaysian but yeah, I love it so muchhhh
Jalebi with rabdi😘
They are so good
2:14
The jalebis are very famous in Arabic world!
I'm from Syria but i was born in Kuwait and I tried this yummy Indian treat so many times and they are delicious!
:D
I still remember the first time I ate them when I was a child and I felt very happy!
In the eastern part of India(i.e. West Bengal), Jalebis are made slightly different and little more crunchier.
Stacey: Hong Kong is such a great country
Chinese Government: Who is this girl and who does she thinks she is
Andrew Wang It is true though, Hong Kong technically isn’t even a country.. I think the sugar just got to her head
Andrew Wang I actually thought that they were making candied hawthorn I mean what the heck it’s really popular as a treat in china
yeah, candied hawthorne is really popular (and delicious!), but it isn't really street food
Thank god, I thought I’m the only one who bugs by the saying.
Add me up too! Get your own army and call yourself a country. Mic drop
I see jalebi, I clicked :)
Mystic zodiac me too
Me too😍
Me too 😋
Mystic zodiac Jollibee is better
I saw Asia, so I clicked. I'm that simple.
Plot twist: it was his first time making jalebi and hence, the awful result. 😅
the dough looks so soft and stretchy! nice
People who don't make the dishes and just watch for fun
Not always. I make andagi, and I hit like
Me
AJAY SAMVEDI Stop asking for likes
The last doughnut that they made from Japan looked like the African/Nigerian dish called Puff Pufff
puff puff is so friggin good. That last donut made me want some so much.
And it looks like bolang baling from indonesia
you are right! Its my favoite dessert
It looks like 'Gull gulle' from India...
Puff puff is wear African not just nigerian
I'm from india and when I saw jalebi, i came here and learnt a whole lot things. I love how tasty incorporates all the worldly cuisine and makes us feel like family!
*O H Y E S*
-end of every tasty video
Oooh the hongkong one is my favourite, its pronounced as 'you tiao'
'You' meaning oil
'Tiao' meaning strip
Its great for a snack and taste great with indian curry
Meanwhile I’m confused over her pronunciation, tf is “Yaotooe” even the Cantonese pronunciation is nowhere close, it’s yàuhjagwái
I love you tiao!
@@sw1525 it's cakoi in malaysia
Yeah I got confused! Everyone here in Singapore calls in You tiao! Not how dhe pronounced it...maybe I'm wrong! Not spreading hate...just confused
Which curry?
It's either cudhi(yellow one) or sabzi
The second sweet we eating in Iraq and it’s called zalabea 😊
Cartel Samar soo ¿what 🙃
Cartel Samar actually jalebis are not truly indian, they come from the Arab world and originally they’re called zulaibiya, Indian cuisine is HEAVILY influenced by Arab/Mughal influence. I’m Indian but you should know your history 🙂
Soso Sosa don’t mind them, they’re being stupid
I LITERALLY LOVE IRAQ 🇮🇶 AND IRAN 🇮🇷
I wish I could go there!
@@uselessSam the cuisines of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran etc are very similar because of ancient trade. There is no need to claim a particular food.
5:40
Owh at Malaysia we have similar food. We call it "Cakoi".
BTW love all of ulyour vids❤
Love from Malaysia🇲🇾❤
in indonesia we call it cakwe
I just made the kkwabegi and it was soooo delicious 😋 thank you Maggie for the amazing recipe
In Philippines:
Street foods are savory just like
ISAW (chicken intestine)
BETAMAX (blood bbqs)
TURON (fried plantain roll)
MAMI (noodles)
SIOMAI , LUMPIA , SIOPAO
And good if there's PALAMIG, GULAMAN and ICE TUBIG
Siomai and sipao didn't originate in the Philippines though?
Joyce Panopio U have plaintain in the Philippines
We also use it but have it with rice
JhanineAngelica lmao yeah
Siomai and lumpia is actually chinese I believe.
@@jhanineangelica5965 siomai still popular in the philippines tho
Every time he said jalebi, I cringed so hard. I know it's his accent but still.
Facts
I'm not even Indian and it made me go "huh??" 😂
I am Indian and I agree 😂
Haha agreed
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME OML
*"My Name Is Maggie"* Maggi?
It That You?
the way he said "jal-ay-bee" and not "ja-le-bee" hurts me as a south asian :(
The first one, we call it 'Shakoy' in the Philippines ❤️
But I think it's hard (crunchy) or do we also have a soft one?
I had it a couple of days ago ❤️ (I live in the P.I.)
Yeah i love shakoy im a filipino
@@helloauebry4481 its soft
@@helloauebry4481 The Ph has hard and soft versions of shakoy. The hard ones are called pilipit. The harder ones tend to be smaller than the softer ones and have a sugar glaze. The soft ones are exactly like the first treat in the video
You're not a true indian if u don't love jalebi
Ishika - personally it is too sweet for me lol
i love jalebi and im not even indian
and i haven't taste it yet, but i bet its delicious.
r/gatekeeping
Anoushka Shenoy for me too
Umm no I don't like jalebi too much of it makes me soo nauseous
Yeeeessss dae jang geum! I love that show! 😍
just one thing to note tasty: *YOU NEVER DO ANY MEASUREMENTS WHILE COOKING IN INDIA.*
In India Maggi is the name of an instant noodles just like u guys have ramen and all in india we have maggi😂❤
Maggi is from Switzerland and today, due to now being part of Nestle, internationally sold lol
Same here in Bangladesh
Yeah Maggi is the shit
Ishika - oh us too I’m from Botswana 🇧🇼.
Same in Germany
I ATE Jalebi ONCE AND ITS SOOOO YUMMMYYY
kkwabeagi*
we also have something similar to kkwabaeggi here in southern philippines (mindanao) it's called 'tabid-tabid' which means tangled in tausug (native dialect) but instead of putting sugar, we melt the sugar then coat it
In the Philippines we have something exactly like Kkwabaegi, we call it bicho-bicho and it's one of my favorites.
There's also carioca, which is like a rice-flour doughnut drizzled with caramel. It's very sticky but it tastes really good.
I love kkwabaegi! I'm not from Korea but when I visited (beautiful county by the way) I tried kkwabaegi and it was really good
My God! When I saw you cooking in that traditional dress, you reminded me of 'the Jewel in the palace' drama.. I loved that show.. Was amazed when you mentioned it! ❤
OMG 油条！！！！ I am Hong Kong/Chinese and pretty much grew up there. I agree that each own stand has it's..unique type of 油条. Some are more oily, crispy, soft and so much more. I live in Beijing now, though, but I still it a LOT of 油条. Even the taste 豆浆 (soybean milk) can impact the taste of the 油条. If you ever go to China/Hong Kong, it's really common for breakfasts in many Chinese restaurants with warm porridge (粥) or hot soybean milk (豆浆).
The first one is also called ‘Shakoy’ in the Philippines. It's also sold in bakeries here. My grandmother cooked and sold them too. 😆
l am pakistani and india is our neighbour country and we also eat j j jalebi i love jalebi 😊😊😊
MATHA NOSHTO-MAN how about you shut up they are only saying how they enjoy eating jaebi and also no one claims anything
MATHA NOSHTO-MAN Pakistan and India were together before so it makes sense they have the same clothing and similar things you are dumb if you didn’t know that
She was just describing her experience eating jalebi ....and I do agree with you about Pakistan not being a good country but it doesn't mean that the general civilians there are all terrible ..you are just assuming that every pakintani is bad..
@@christina3500 Bangladesh too 🙃
MATHA NOSHTO-MAN Please don’t represent us Indians as being rude.
please make a video of middle eastern and north african s food. we have so many great dishes and treats that are totally underrated, due to current politics of the region. Since most of the times we rarely ever get included in the asian videos, even tho the middle east is mostly in asia, or in african videos in case of north africa. You wont regret it, the cuisine is rich, from the fried seafood of bahraini gulf, to the tagines of morocco, the turkish baklava, and the persian ghormeh sabzi. Huge region with so much diversity in it s cuisine, so please give it a try!
Nezar Ebrahim Please listen to this man!
Baklava is
Outstanding! You've obviously got this UA-cam thing figured out. Taking notes. :)
That kkwabegi dish looks SO GOOD.
they burnt tf out of those jalebi’s
ikr and they were crunchy in sound they are meant to be soft and juicy on the inside
maharaja Nope, they were crispy.
The way he was saying jalebi, he was canceled from the start
thats what i thought😂
JuhLAYBEES
I have watched this like a million times😂 looks so good!!!!
Polina Soyfish I proud to be asia cause of the tasty food in meh county!!
1.5 million views of this video, guess what ? You're the one who viewed it 1 million times 😂😂 JK
im so happy they included hk
Kkwabaegi is just the same in Filipino twisted doughnut "Shakoy". We always eat it every afternoon
The last one, sata andagi, is really similar to this “fried doughnut” we have in Cameroon called puff puff. So cool how different cultures have a lot of similarities that exponentially different people can bond over.
The apearence of the last one reminds me of Nigerian puff puff. I would really love to visit Japan just to try all these things, I've been binge watching tasty Japan videos
omg, i love youtiaw! it’s the best food ever 💖 you means oil in chinese i believe cuz i’m from there xD
Omg! I loved Dae Hang Geum! And I'm from Ghana by the way💕
I like how they roll.
random fun fact: youtiao or you zha gui (油炸鬼) literally means oil fries ghost
yoongi's vocals 😆😆😆
even random fun fact: youtiao were inspired by two very *smart* people in China and people wanted to find a way to rebel against them and so when they make the youtiao it is in the shape of these two people and people would imagining eating (or essentially killing) the two people and it helped them in that time when the two people were jerks so haha
Hello Army.
You mean Oil Fried Ghost?
Actually it’s originally 油炸槐 as in the person
is it odd when she introduced herself as Maggie and I was also eating Maggie.?🤔
I need 2nd part of this, and please mention any South East Asia country
Ugh jalebis are the most wonderful sweets man love em so much 💖💖
the first one, when she mention Jang Geum, the soundtrack of the Jewel in the Palace drama suddenly ringing in my head 😂😂😂
"O nana, Ooo nana~"
I want to rewatch it sometimes lol
The donut maggie made....we have those too in the Philippines...we call it palipit
In the jalebies there is no food coloring in the batter, the surger syrupe is infused with saffron and has food colouring in it.
Jalebi is the perfect description of happiness...
Asia has so many delicious foods I want to taste em all..🤑
Same
Jalebi is so sweet and so yummy u r gonna fall in love with it
Youtiao is actually really similar to an Indonesian street food "cakwe" but we eat it with brown sugar mixed with a bunch of chilis and spices that's watered down
My favourite kkwabaegi 😋😋😋 가장 좋아하는 음식
Now I wanna try all of these lol
Come Pakistan I will serve u best jalibi
Natalie Alfera Come to india jalebis are ready😍
Haram Khor you are right jalibi in Pakistan is tasty of Lahore so good
Haram Khor haha I would love to serve you jalibi of Lahore but sadly I am in karachi
So Asia only has three countries? Good job Tasty.
Asia is one of the most diverse continents and you really our here thinking they gone include each one. Shut the fuck up and sit down😂
@@SchoolRumble4ever22 atleast try to shiwtch the stereotypical countries up, holy shit I'm sick and tired of everyone talking only about Japan, China, Korea and India, when there are so much more MORE interesthing countries in Asia alone!
@@SchoolRumble4ever22 calm down buckaroo! They could've just done like one middle eastern country, east Asia, south east Asian, south Asia, etc but instead they just did east and south Asia. Asia is so diverse and more light needs to be shown on the cultures we dont pay attention to.
They forget Pakistan too.. Pakistan have many tasty and unique dishes but they always talk about India.. I don't understand that.. 😒
Shannan Louis Same ! Ignored Asian country squad. No one seems to care about Mongolia ;-;
I have eaten the last two snacks since i live in singapore
Plot Twist: *One out of the four people is actually pretending to like it.*
I think its the japanese one
Mxl _ Khxnom jalebi is actually the best, if you’ve never tried it then I’m sorry, it tastes like heaven. The one he made didn’t look too great but it tastes amazing.
