After 7 long years, the Best Ever Food Review Show returns to Cambodia, and I was chosen as one of the co-hosts. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the production of one of the episodes I will be a part of. This video will be taking place in Siem Reap's Phsar Thmei and Kampong Phlouk, were we will be discovering how prahok is made and sampling a few delicacies incorporating Cambodia's most ubiquitous ingredient.

I’ll be featured on episodes 3, 4, & 5 - Prahok, Alternative Proteins and Kep Seafood market. That’s what it was at the time of shooting but it may change.
Thank Bong for sharing vdo behind the scene of Sonny team, have a successful bong.
@@SeyhaFoodyour next bong on Mark Wein show 😀
Was he even nice? We have watched Sonny for a long time and recently started watching you. Kinda feel like Sonny came off as a jerk. Gave us a different look at him for sure. Excited to see the episodes!
Exactly biggest jerk on UA-cam
Glad I'm not the only one who felt that way
Sonny is a jerk
Yes I agree he had jerk vibes for sure
It's amazing how little 😮we saw of Sonny In the video but how big of a wanker* he is ..
I notice he didn’t even say Hello to you!! You’re Cambodian origin. Watching this episode, I don’t care much about sunny!!! He’s pretty stuck up!!!Big disappointment!!!
Yes, I noticed that too but when we had some downtime he did introduce himself properly and we had a good conversation later on when things weren't as hectic.
That's good to know ...
Yeah i noticed that too, people act different when their off camera, big disappointment 👎
is it just me or sonny seems like a jerk???? from his show seems like a very nice person but seeing this he a jerk
Nice work brother you deserve that collaboration!
This is BIG!!! Wow great job!!! Forget about all of that imposter syndrome, youre the real deal and your videos are GREAT!!!
Glad to see you still poppin in here from time to time, Thanks Brandon!
So this is what Chef Nak was talking about, showcasing Khmer cuisine. People want to come to Cambodia showcase these type of “food” but doesn’t want to see the rest of it. But yet again this is what Sonny does. I used to love watching Sonny’s videos but this one kinda rub me off the wrong way.
Prahok is the "backbone" of khmer culture and I felt like he did a good job of capturing the story behind it. Wait until you see the end result before you judge.
I have watched it on his channel, surprised you wasn’t in it. Either way I’m still enjoying your content.
@@Khm781 I’ll be on the upcoming episodes they didn’t release yet.
Congratulations on this accomplishment. I remember when you first started, you mention quitting your 9 to 5 job to pursue creating content full time. You have come a long way bong. All your hard work will eventually pay off one day and someday you will also have a production team just as big. Keep up the good work.
OMG, You really meet all these food celebrities and what about Bob Zimmerman, Mark Wein nor Kitchen from Heaven 😁.
After watch ur vdo, I have no wonder anymore why Sonny had many shows in VN bcoz his crew are VN
Watched a few of the other famous personality. But after watching this, like others, I'm disappointed in his personality off screen.
I’m starting to see why Cambodian food is being portrayed negatively in his other videos because he has producers controlling the narrative. You are describing a professional production and not a typical youtuber and his crew. That youtube channel is definitely backed by a corporation. Southeast Asian nations are fighting for the number one spot and can’t have Cambodia enter the scene in the billion dollar food industry. The red flag is intentionally putting maggots in the Prahok. There is no such thing. There is intent to degrade our unique, national food.
Also, for Cambodian people, Barang means French (i.e. French people, French food....) and doesn't mean white foreigner. Please stop using this word incorrectly. The Khmers use language for respect and knowledge. This is a misuse of our Khmer language and degrades our culture.
Thank you for the behind the scenes. I’m glad you had the opportunity and hopefully, more positive shows, like Gordon Ramsay’s, will come your way.
I’m in total shock with the maggots prahok never have I ever seen or heard of this kind of prahok I’m wondering if we always had this for hundreds of years or is this a new thing
You are correct, barang = French but most khmer people refers to foreigners (from the west) as "barang"...it's just a slang term.
@@saviyou The main issue is that foreigners don’t believe us when we say Barang means French and that we are somehow trying to cover up our bigotry when we correct them. I made the edit to correct the Wikipage that had incorrectly defined Barang as a Khmer term meaning “All white foreigners” and to remove its link to a list of countries using derogatory words.
This is when I learned that Cambodian wiki pages are not written by Cambodians and that they are distrustful of any Cambodian input. They kept accusing me of being nationalistic and idiotic when I tried correcting misinformation. For the citation, I was surprised to find very few uploaded Cambodian-English Dictionaries with the correct definition.
One new editor had to appeal to these non-Cambodian gatekeepers in order to use the formal “pisa bai" because they never heard of it. There are many examples of this. These editors only use travel websites and blogs as their source and misinterpret real sources.
That experience was disheartening and I can tell that many Cambodian-Americans tried but have quit Wiki. This is why I try to warn high profile Cambodians to correctly use the word Barang because when we use it incorrectly like them, they are judging us as being a degenerate culture.
Thank you for opening this dialogue. I appreciate that your channel is a safe place for Cambodians to discuss our culture. We definitely need it.
Congrats brother! I’ve been watching your channel for a while, hope your channel grows quicker now!
I hope so too!
That is so awesome bro! I love watching Sonny. Great to see the process of Sonny filming his show behind the scene. Man, it’s an actual production! Imposter syndrome sucks when you are with a real star huh? I hate that feeling!
Hi Savi, your video doing just fine… keep up the good job!👍
Wow bong Savi You when I see
the snake take for cooking it make me really want to eat again and try with BBQ snake I never eat , it look interested to try BBQ snake ❤😊
BEFRS's production is always top notch.
Congratulations brother! Happy for you!
Thank you so much
Bro has a whole production crew. Quality work and pride in what he do
I'm excited. Thank you for giving us a glimpse behind the scenes.
Sonny and his show seem so pretentious now, Glad you got to enjoy it but I don't watch them any more. The show is mechanical, its changed from their success. I wish them all the best but it is not enjoyable for me any.
In their defense, it's more of a business now and the show itself is designed to appeal to a larger audience. Sonny has a very specific formula he follows and doesn't deviate from the schedule usually. I watch his show occasionally but I prefer more organic type of content.
@@saviyou you said it more eloquently then me, lol but yes exactly what I was trying to say. I prefer the organic content also hence why I don't watch it to much any longer.
Hey bong Savi, have you already recorded these episodes and when was this shot
Wow good for you now your channel will grow fast happy for you
I think your content, editing, and narration are up-to-par with Sonny's and Mark Wein's. The only differences are you don't have a big team and you don't have a lot of views. The way the algorithm works feels like rhe lottery system.
So there are a few comments about Sonny not being very friendly. I can see it both ways. He didn't exactly say hi when you guys first met. But their explanation that he wanted to keep everything fresh makes sense. Throughout the shooting it was all business. Clearly, he wasn't there to be friends with you, even though I can totally see you guys bonding if he actually had the time for you. But towards the end, you can totally see that he was relaxed and made a joke about who you were talking to. Overall, I think he was friendly enough to do business with but not friendly enough to be friends with. He wasn't rude. I remember Andrew Zimmerm was really rude when he shot in Cambodia.
I don't feel sonny happy along with the trip or he does just infront of Camera. But he look nice and kind 15:05 as you can see hear he want to give a coca drink to a kid but he afraid other kids see and come to ask more. so he hide it on the grass for the kid lol. such a nice man 😂
Oh wow I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out❤
I came from BEFRS and i can say you have pretty good content !! Keep going and someday YOU will be the superstar with people waiting on you ! I got to see a side of Sonny i haven't seen before. Can understand why people think he comes off as a jerk but it's really just VERY focused and professional. I'm happy you enjoyed your off-camera time with him. I'm sure he's a decent guy when he's not on a tight schedule. Cheers !
Was there a production wavier where they had you sign? I honestly enjoy your content more because it has that genuine organic feel to it. But like you said having a dedicated production team does help. Keep doing you 👍 fantastic vlog as always. - Cheers
I did not sigh any waivers or NDAs.
@@saviyou In that case your able to give us a sneak peek 😀 JK
Sonny is a GREAT ACTOR!! amazing..it nice seeing behind the scenes..
I've been a fan of his content way before he blew up big. I hope he's down-to-Earth, but totally understandable if he's all about business when he's doing his job.
Why not release after that espisod release first? it kinda spoiler to me 😁😁 but still enjoy watching it anyway
I thought they were going to release it earlier but looks like they're going to do a weekly release. But don't worry, I only showed a fraction of what they filmed.
Bong Your profile photo looks like from the khmer rouge regime though at first glance
I know, I really need to change it!
😂
I’m subscribed to you! Supporting Khmer brothers ! 👍🇰🇭
Thanks for subbing
Sunny came out of this video of being a big diva. He's not so nice off camera.
Exactly very rude yank
This is awesome man.
Big *W*
Well deserved!
Continue to be great!
sorry, I can't watch this after watching your next vid first. I hope I can get thru life without ever seeing Sonny or anyone refer to him. Content like his is making youtube a cesspool.
Cool, I came from seeing Sonny's video so its been great to see behind the scenes 🤩 thanks for sharing, following from New Zealand 💯👍🏽
Congrats brother.
I don't like that suny guy!! He so rude. he not even smile and talk to you bro.. He thinks he all that!! SMFH!
Hope he paid you !
I was compensated :)
Hey Savi! Found you from the Prahok episode on Sonny's channel. Thank you for showing us around in Cambodia. I've never been there but I would love to see Cambodia one day. Subbed!
Kenny when you’re ready to visit Cambodia, reach out and I’ll give you some suggestions. Thanks for subscribing!
Big time collaboration, Savi! Thanks for sharing some behind of scene footages. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see the episodes! And don’t be intimidated, he’s just a white boy with a red bandana. He won’t take your lunch money.
Savi I’m visiting Cambodia for the first time. Any recommendations on best places to eat?
so wholesome at the end when that Barang comes and sits behind you with their ladyboy :)
Thank for sharing ❤
Great job
Don’t get intimidated by Sonny, he’s a businessman so just be the best you and use your heart because you are not responsible for his character as a human being.
Basically it is a very fast process to make pharok. You have some miniature fishes, you clean them, remove the guts. Then clean with water after removing the guts. You rub fine salt all over the fishes then you get small rock salt rub them with it do not wash the salt off with those two process. Put the fishes into a jar and closed the jar tightly with more salt then leave it alone to ferment.
Those are nice video recording sunglasses, can you tell me where I can buy a pair of those? Thanks 👍
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses
Why was there a dead snake in the basket?
Dude why do you let Sonny bully you? Is not your job to give him info. You are supposed to do the behind the scenes. He got his people to do the details. Stand up for yourself don’t let this asshole bully you.
The bro needs to play the game first before he blows his opportunity of getting great exposure... but yeah we hear ya
Cause he’s a idiot.guy is clueless
I don’t think he was bullying you. I think because he’s been filming for so long and was once in your position where he used to film by himself just like you are doing now, he is probably giving you some advice. Perhaps he’s watched some of your videos already to get to know a little about you and your content before filming. Everything is a learning experience whether you have a crew or not you should be more open to learning new things whether you already know about whatever it is you’re filming about. Sonny is a professional now and people love to judge someone they don’t know much about. They tend to think serious people are stuck up or whatever. Sonny has probably met so many people in his life time that he is probably trying to keep his heart and mind from getting too attached to so many people. It only makes sense because wouldn’t you feel sad that you couldn’t help someone you met that needed help but you couldn’t do much for them yet you were still honoured to meet them anyway? It can be morally and mentally draining, that’s why he probably doesn’t make too many attachments besides the ones of his crew and his family. You sitting there wishing for a beer is not productive. You should’ve been trying to communicate with the locals on the side and practice your Khmer and learn more about the area you are in. Like any job, there is always something to learn, do and improve upon. You don’t just show up to work and do nothing until the boss gives you orders to do something. Im just speaking in general and not speaking about you or your work ethic. You’re doing great, Savi and getting more exposure, especially with Sonny is a great opportunity to learn, grow and improve! You can only keep going up from here!
I think you misunderstood my assignment, I'm not there to do behind-the-scene, I'm a co-host. My job was to act as the local expert. Sonny wasn't bullying me, just told me to learn about the process during downtime so even though I'm not really an expert, I look like one when we film the interview scenes. Sonny is a pro, he's there to do a job and I took it more as a tip than him bossing me around.
1. So Sonny assumes all Khmer on the set knows the cultures.etc.?
2. the intro you mentioned that you there for the behind the scenes and not get involved. So i must of missed that you were the “local expert”. I think a great opportunity was missed to showcase your knowledge of the khmer foods and it locals people. I love Cambodia and visit as much as I can. You should have done some homework on the dishes and knowledge of the local people just in case situation like that occurs..? Thanks the for the content
1 Q? hav u decided to settle in Cambodia. u can skip my Q if u think its personal
No but I’m doing business here so I’ll be here often.
Yes! What ever you’re doing in life, always be early!!!
I live by those words
🔥
Fly maggots, proteins haha
New subscriber… congrats on collaboration with Sunny…

Well, his wife is Vietnamese, and he loves Vietnam so much. So I doubt he’s already half viet by heart.
Wow this is thrilling

Great content as always. I'm always late to the comments section though. CCL Lyfe.
He looks different when there is no bandanna around his head
He wears a bandanna because his hair operation went wrong!
He initially wore the bandana to keep sweat out of his eyes but kept it as a "look"
coool bro
Absolutely massive gig to land -- very, very cool. Also mad respect for Sonny and what he's accomplished, the scale of his operation is just incredible.
