    ☝️The chef at the 3rd restaurant just wanted us to clarify that he is NOT wanted for evading taxes. That was Sonny’s humour talking. The chef just didn’t want to be onscreen because he was shy. Thanks 😊

      And that’s your choice but when you spend 250 bucks or more for a five course tasting menu, you actually get decently full. But the food is guaranteed to be the best food you’ve ever had and the service is guaranteed be the best. You’re paying for a lot more than food.

    14:02, Dried to rehydrated is like trying to eat it when it's FRESH! Only they want to trick you to think it's going to taste better because of the drying time... I've tried dried foods and sure, some dried foods are great but for the "most part" I think fresh is better.

    • @TheSmokey1523

      No drying really concentrates the flavor of umami rich foods like shiitake mushrooms, seafoods, some vegetables, salted fish.

    • @一片叶的故事
      @一片叶的故事 8 місяців тому +1

      It's a tried and true method. Some foods when dried are flavor bombs compared to being fresh. If you've ever had dried shitake or dried shrimps before you'd understand but these are flavor ingredients and not something you eat as the main course. Abalone and fish maw on the other hand are entree ingredients that people eat so they have to be rehydrated or they're inedible.

With that being said… why is it that when you’re asking your co-host for this episode a question; you aren’t looking at her but rather looking at the camera? It seems fake. Also I think a majority of your audience would like to hear your co-hosts opinion on the food(show her eating the food & film it & talk about it on camera & have a little banter on the food!)! Other than that… I love the vid & all your other videos! Especially the seafood episodes!! Keep up the amazing work Sonny & amazing crew!!

    I'm glad that he does the tasting because, some of the things he has eaten, I would never try. I like how he goes beyond tasting to explain why, he eats some controversial foods and that he does it because of the people traditions. That being said, I wish I was there to eat a bunch of seafood.

      Highs and lows in reality. There's a lot of good quality cheap eats bc nearly everyone eats out a lot. The thing is when things get high end it's gonna be really pricey
