This presenter, Sheldon, is pretty cool. I have yet to be disappointed with any of the videos he's been in -- he's very humble, very quickly gels/vibes with his guests and doesn't interject himself into the guest's narrative or stories but knows when to keep the conversation flow going. He's the next Lucas! Keep him on your channel Eater! :)
Zeeshan Muhammad he's better than Lucas
How about "He's the first Sheldon".
Lucas does his thing and Sheldon does his.
When I lived in Tacoma, Washington, I worked at a hospital there. There were a many hospital staff members from Nigeria, and I loved it when we had staff potlucks.
The food bounty was fantastic!!! Nigerian, Kenyan, Filipino, Ukranian, Vietnamese...you name it.
Wonderful times...
Egusi soup is delicious! He pronounced Milo just the way we pronounce it in Nigeria. I have tons of Nigerian recipes on my channel if you want to learn how to make Nigerian food
Then you and the whole of Nigeria pronounce it wrong.
Europeein but we've always pronounced it like that 🤣🤣🤣 I don't know any different
It's pronounced My-Lo. Was created in Aus and that's how we've always pronounced it.
SisiYemmieTV my favorite is oha soup
i will definitely check u out!
Milo, man. I drank it a lot when I was a kid since Nestle advertised it as a energy drink for kids here. When kids drink it, they suddenly become the smartest kid in the class, won the marathon, got the black belt in karate and have the highest score in gymnastic competition in one day.
Taufiq Othman 😂😂😂😂😂so true
I ate it more than i drink it
@@muhammadhazarul you feel it bro
Miiilo.....kpaa kpaa kpaa,kpaa kpaa kpaa kpaa.....Milo!
😆 kidcrank. I remember drinking it in the Philippines.
I love that he's in the kitchen learning and cooking with them before eating!
Jollof rice is the best rice I have ever tasted
where are you from? i also agree
Thank you!
Word
I agree!
The egusi soup! The guy I once dated made me try this. Now I miss the food more than him 😂
@Fainah: lol missing the good more than him😂🤣
Lol. This comment is gold. I love egusi.
Where have you been asawa
Mine was Ghanaian... And yes I miss the food LOL
Lol..girls tho😅
I love Moi Moi.
Hey pretty! Quite a delicious meal there!
😅 ok
Me too! 🥰
I was craving it a few weeks back
I love you for the moi moi
I love this channel.. Everybody seems very happy. From America to Africa and India all the way to the Pacific islands. Sharing cultures (food), it's amazing.. and I love Nigeria.. (I'm Filipino by the way.)
*Interesting video, keep putting Nigerian Food Recipes on the world map* 😀👌
So good to see you here bro. I know its been 3 years lol
Hello frank... Good to see you here...
i tried ethiopian food a few days ago i cant wait to try nigerian food next mmm.
I don't like Ethiopian food. Nigerian food is waaaay better
@@starsareangels Nice but no need to attack ethiopian food. I am nigerian btw
@@starsareangels why?
i'm Sierra leonean-so some of the foods(nigerian) are similar.but never tried Ethiopian food.It's not that common in the UK
How are you going to do a video about Nigerian food without Jallof Rice, Plantain, and assorted Meat? Suya? Nigerian food is spectacular though. Genuinely one of my favourites.
☺
I'm Nigerian in a small town in America and I miss Nigerian food. I'll be moving to a big city soon hopefully and be homing on Nigerian restaurants immediately.
Pounded yam or fufu is the special way of doing it, if you go to a market in Port Harcourt you get served gari which is cassava flour mixed with water and you eat it the same way with egusi, groundnut soup, okro.
braddah is from the Kingdom of Hawai'i...in the language, "I" is pronounced as "ee"...hence "Mee-low"...but those soft, buttery nuggets of naimasness, bendongo tho...hoa, broke da mouth so onolicous!
Clock Sheldons excitement about Milo!! Brings nostalgia for me too! He's such a good sport and this was nice to know that there is a Nigerian joint in Houston, Texas!
Nigerian foods are always the best, like trust me i''ve been there
Thanks for a honest comment
Sheldon, you have love for food & so do I. Really enjoy watching your interest in different cuisine. Thanks much & be blessed.
I realize I am commenting on these videos a few years later than the production of them, but I dated a girl from Uganda and she LOVED this place. We were there every time she visited me.
This dude's interviewing skills are on point
I love that you're showcasing the culinary diversity of Houston!
I'm Nigerian and our food is so nice
i like this video.. pure and unadulterated Nigerian food
Subscribed and clicked the Notif bell just 'coz of Sheldon Simeon!!! 😍 I love the way he handled the whole segment...he's a natural host who shows great passion for food, culture, & history behind the people & the flavors they offer. 😊👍🏼 Now, I'm off to watch all of Sheldon's vids. 😂 More power to you Sheldon!!! Love heaps from Sydney!!!! 😘❤️
All of these restaurants are so close to me, surprised I didn't run into y'all when you came to Houston to film.
That pounded yam with egusi garnished with goat meat and kpomo na the main deal.
maybe this is weird but i love seeing the hands of the male owner stained by spices/marinades. reminds me so much of turmeric hands after using turmeric to season/marinade fried fish, simple turmeric soups. you know its good like that
Egusi soup is life!! Ndi Nigeria !!!!!!
Sheldon don't think I didn't see you sneaking in that Spinach Bae.
In Ghana, it sounds similar to Egusi in Nigeria and it’s called Agushi in Ghana 🇬🇭 from the Ga tribe.
Francesca Agyeman Egusi is originally a Nigerian dish that was adopted by Ghana. Ghanaians come to Nigerian restaurants near me all the time to buy Egusi.
blazinghot99 oh is it. Okay , thank you.
BRANDON DAVIS yes I know. Where you’re from?
BRANDON DAVIS ok nice. We’re neighbours! I’m from Ghana.
BRANDON DAVIS yes I know. If you go on the website called venturesafrica.com/yorubas-are-99-9-genetically-igbo-study/amp/
It also tells you the cultural differences between our tribes, but genetic similarities as well.
I need to at least try Nigerian food in my lifeee!
Yes you do, it is soul food at its best. 😊
I'm Nigerian. We pronounce Milo as "me-low"
You pronounce it wrong then. My-Lo.
Europeein Tomato Tomaato. Who the hell cares
Lie will killed you,You are not are a Nigeria,Fool.
@@isadore9793 and how do you know that?
@@bean7496 then why not teach me how we pronounce, dump head.
I must try this place. I'm craving Egusi & Pounded Yam😖
Sheldon is a great host
I will be visiting this place. Yes I will be yes
MILO represent. Nestle basically own chocolate beverage sector in some country.
Great series!
Lovely.. we need a nigerian restaurant in spain 🇪🇸
That looks so delicious. I need to try it sometime
Wow😁😀👌👍👏👏👏
I think this video is so great.
I’m Malaysian and we rule the milo market
Always wanted to get more familiar with various African cuisines
Sheldon back at it again!
I love this series of food videos!
We have goat head stew in Kenya, delicious.
This looks DELICIOUS. All the good stuff in there. Oofff

Sheldon killing it
Haha milo.. its actual the way you say iS it (mylo.) MILO
Ok I am going to name my dog fufu lol
I dig the #saltbae move with spinach.
You should a Central African Restaurant in Euless TX called exotic African grill cuisine
0:16 im filipino and we say "Mai-Low"
Beautiful!
Yummy 😋👏
Mee-lo?? Lols Kahit sa hawaii ka pa lumaki napagtripan ka ng mga kamaganak mong Pilipino..Intindihin mo muna to tapos ayusin mo ha..Lab you lols
i love this and i need more of this
I knew he wasn't Igbo after that comment 😂
I want to try Nigerian food and Japanese foods.
Awesome host! Awesome show!
Milo, love it. We call it my-lo in the caribbean.
Now I’m craving egusi soup 😋
Mouthwatering yumminess
Caribbean people drink Milo (pronounced My-Low) too at night with Maria biscuits.
yam good food
They have the BEST EGUSI!!
In the Philippines its MAY-LO
I am half Nigerian, but I can’t get my head around the “everything but the kitchenvsink” concept. Maybe it is the point, that I also don’t crustaceans or that I find cubed bone meats in stew a topic of my nightmares? Or that I think, that cubed bouillon shouldn’t be on anyones recipe list who ones a restaurant?
Suya is dope though....
Dominik MJ try real pounded yam
you know we pronounce milo as "maylo" here in ph XD
Love the food
Each time he says Hawaii take a shot 💀
As an Aussie I miss milo very dearly
I've never even heard of a Nigerian restaurant before, they've got none as far as I know in NY
NY state or NYC, there are some in NYC being that a lot of Nigerians are in NYC. Elsewhere not so much like Upstate New York.
Amo es comida 😋 es deliciosa 👉🏽❤️
All this tells me, is that unilever is a very rich company.
I’m a Nigerian in Houston 🥴
Good work
Nice
I am Australian and I am offend by the way he pronounced 'Milo'
Lachlan Crowder i think its maylow
Jan Martin I think you're wrong
Lachlan Crowder I'm Indian and I'm mad too.
Haha, Exactly, here in India we pronounce it as MY-LO, not sure if that is correct or not.
Lachlan Crowder thats how we said in Philippines eh
Milo grew on me as a kid. But when I moved to America.....nesquick made it seem nasty to me. Don’t hate. Still true Nigerian at heart
africa is my city
would try it, but not going to lie didn't look too appetizing to me
What happens if I don't really feel comforable eating with my hand?
coffee lover you can use utensils
@@ore909 it takes away from the flavour lol I tried this with a silver spoon as a kid and it wasnt the same. West Africand are very big on hand washing
When you're eating Chinese meals, you use the chopstick. Different meals call for different techniques of eating.😂 the proper way to eat Nigerian foods(except rice and beans) is by hand.
Eat it with your feet then 😭
Jk u can eat it with a spoon, it might be harder though.
Milo filiphino? You mean THE WHOLE SOUTH EAST ASIA COUNTRIES + AUSTRALIA
did he just say milo as "mee-lo"?
I'm going to start pronouncing "Milo" as "Me-lo".
Sounds exotic and anyone that hears me saying "Me-lo" will start to question if they have been pronouncing it wrong.
We say it as Mee-lo in Nigeria
🤤 😋
