Just wanted to clarify. Kangaroos are NOT a feral pest, they are a native animal to Australia. They form an integral part of the ecosystem in Australia. I studied environmental science and work in conservation and land management in Australia. It is true that eating kangaroo in Australia is a more sustainable form of meat than beef. Actual feral animals introduced to Australia that are non native and overgraze landscapes include rabbits, goats, deer, pigs and a few others. I absolutely love your videos Mark and watch them religiously. Since I live in Australia, I did think that the choices of food places for this episode were a bit average. To end on a positive note, I’m happy you are in oz and creating content here!
Thank you, I came here to say this. Kangaroos are not feral pests that destroy the natural environment as stated by your guide. Farmers don’t like them but let’s be honest farmers are not friends to the local wildlife.
Yes they are feral pests. Maybe you guys do need to speak to people on the land to get the real view of kangaroos. Sipping on a latte in Fitzroy probably obscure your judgement.
ajsaces, I am a country person , lived on the land all my life. Been a professional kangaroo shooter, and I can tell you now Kangaroos can be pests in some areas however, they are native animals and not ferals as pigs, goats etc.
I was SHOCKED when she said that. They are only a "PEST" to farmers farming EUROPEAN crops - which are a huge food source that naturally the NATIVE Australian Kangaroos will try to eat. TBH this entire episode really irked me because she basically presented the "Educated Melbourne Hipster Elite Affluent" version of "Australian Cuisine". Even the bloody Dim Sims looked "Bougie"...
Welcome to my country bro :), I’m not sure if I would have gone with all the fried crap first lol, I wouldn’t even say most is ‘iconic’ Aussie other the meat pie lol, so sorry for that lol. You want to see the best of Australia then make your way up to Queensland :).
Oh Mark. You got played. The first bite of a meat pie is always a small, tentative one, just enough to let the steam out in the filling, so as to do a temp check so you DON'T burn your mouth. Loved this video. Hope you come back soon!
How brave of you to tackle Australia, Mark. Modern Australian food is a fusion of all the cultures and cuisines that have migrated here made with the best ingredients, all grown here. Australia has been known to be a chefs paradise, there isnt anything you cant get here. We have been blessed to be so multicultural.
@@WoodysOpinion101 hahaha well, there are restaurants which showcase local ingredients gathered as bush tucker so it definitely exists. More of it are in fine dining establishments. Dont know anywhere else in the world where they eat Kangeroos, Emu's and Crocodiles all in the one place. We have local berries and spices also. You can get Kangeroo anywhere here though :) An Australian dish would appear on a restaurant menu like seared kangeroo fillet over a bed of mash, with local berry jus and some sort of lemon myrtle mousse...some fancy like that 😂 all Australian ingredients but cooked in Haute style lol 😁
@@WoodysOpinion101 if it's made here, by Australians, with Australian ingredients in an Australian interpretation, I'm pretty sure it's Australian. It's like saying Mexican isn't Mexican because it's Spanish influences or Bahn mi isn't Vietnamese because it only exists because the French occupied Vietnam.
@Hectic New Zealand meat pies are sooooo much better than any pie you get in australia. Its not even a competition. You can barely even find a pie in australia. NZ pies are literally on every corner.
Yas fiiiinally!! And our beautiful food capital Melbourne, how wonderful! Have a lovely time Mark and I’d love to see you do a good tour here. Tasmanian honeys are stunning, our Northern Territory is home of our First Nation residents with a beautiful selection of gourmet delicacies. Queensland has mouth watering seafood and an array of Australian tropical berries and foliage. There’s so much and so many regions to celebrate the food culture here. Welcome Mark, Ying and Mica 🫶🥰
I saw you eating dinner in the city and waved through the window. I walked past the window of the restaurant and had to double take because I thought I may have been hallucinating when i saw the 'i travel for food' t shirt. Had no idea that Mark was in Melbourne and it was the most surreal thing 😂
As an Australian, I think what makes the food great is that, especially in Melbourne and Sydney there's endless restaurants making authentic food from all over the world. However, I've lived in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Melbourne has the best coffee. You can get great coffee in any Australian city, but Melbourne is consistently good. The other cities have their highs and lows.
The coffee in Melbourne is far superior than in other cities. I live in Sydney now, and the coffee here comes close but not as good as Melbourne coffee
@@browseyoutube5569 that’s a tough one. I’m based in the south western suburbs and work in Bankstown Airport, Mascot and North Sydney. I normally stick to one in Georges Hall called “wild child” which is quite popular. When in north Sydney I tend to go to “Ku Tamper” which is also very good
As usual what an entertaining video! Australian food is a new(ish) world interpretation of old world cuisine with so much creativity, generosity and taste, Mark does an amazing job in his interpretation and illustration and his co-host is also knowledgeable, charming and charismatic! Works up an appetite...🤤
I have no issues with loving your own city, and Melbourne is a great foodie city. I just don’t think it’s necessary to do it in a way that talks down other places. All Australian cities have fantastically diverse food to offer. Just enjoy it without snubbing the others. I’m glad the Sydney fast food video didn’t do the same.
He's not used to western comfort food, for me that pie looks amazing (specially living in a cold climate) but he'd probably find it a bit bland and stodgy
Those places you visited are mostly "Hipster" places Mark. Would've loved to see you visit the ethnic enclaves of Sydney or Melbourne. That is where the flavours are.
i mean he tried iconic dishes, just not from where you would have liked him too? lol pull your head in. just glad to see him showcasing something in Australia. appreciate it for what it is and stop trying to find a negative for attention lol.
@@Creationz89 they’re not iconic dishes. They are hipster dishes. Who freaking eats in inner cities. Hipsters. Majority of his followers are from non speaking English background like myself. Most ethnics eat in the burbs. You pull your head in.
@@Creationz89 His comment is correct though , she even said kangaroos are a complete feral pest ! but yet your national animal, sounds like a hipster who might be disconnected from the real australia, love though to this video and the people in it
The pie fell apart on the first bite. No one wants that. We want to be able to eat it witout having hot pie filling burn our hands and stain our clothes. 0 out of 10 for the pie.
Love your videos, and glad you came to Australia, as a chef and someone who worked in the kangaroo industry it was good to see you got to try kangaroo. But that lady should not be giving bullshit information. Yes the kangaroo gets overpopulated because of the conditions created by agriculture, and yes at times those numbers damage crops, but kangaroos are not feral pests they are a native animal, if she doesn’t know that perhaps she should learn that first before acknowledging indigenous people, theirs more to their culture than just saying I acknowledge them
@@mistamowgli513 we have people from all over the world here so we have every type of cuisine under the sun. Yes we love our fish and chips but who doesn't. and brekky is cigs and a cuppa. My Grandparents are from Italy so im eating pasta twice a week
most british food has now been replaced with 3 choices kebab curry or Chinese,I'm literally the only person in the uk that still cooks real british food,outside in the street,there are literally 3 choices,I remember our government needed to diversify more and more and now it's so diverse just british food is not diverse, so that's all gone in the rubbish bin,being white too is not diverse, put us all in the rubbish bin
Mark, you went to Australia!!!! That is my dream, I have been wanting to go forever and visit the Australia zoo but thanks to you I have other places I need to visit. Thank you, this was so amazing. You did a wonderful job showing a side of Australia that others haven’t seen.
OMG at section 7:25 I noticed your son,, my God I remember when your wife and you were carrying him around in the carryall :) has it really been that many years that I have been watching you :) Wahoooo I love your video's LOL
C. minute 42:30: That is not something to attempt to eat in one bite! That is something to approach with great care: e.g., remove the top layer of bread (even better, discard the empty calories)....then use knife and fork to sample parts of the mountain in manageable small mouthfuls. This is clearly a family-sized platter best cut into sections and shared around the table, not attempted solo....with the expectable dislocation of jaw and other side-effects.
You should come and visit us in Melbourne Australia if we didn’t live in a dictatorship, I’m sure you would love us and our food. It’s just our government tier you won’t like, as many of us don’t. But we would welcome you, wholeheartedly
@@maria2162 You live in a democracy.You had an opportunity to change your government but the electorate voted to retain the sitting party.Which indicates, despite what you think, the government is extremely popular.
I did laugh at your polite response to sausage rolls & that Sth Melb Market Dim Sim....IYKYK 🤣 you just copped the 2 worst things we have to offer but it's all uphill from there!!! Yay!! Sth Melb markets is great at night but mainly it's amazing to buy your fresh produce to cook at home. Agatha Patisserie Pandan Croissants needs to be on your to eat list though!
As an Australian I have to point out that the "real" Australian meat pie/sausage roll/dimmie experience is from a petrol station or lunch bar. It won't be as good as what mark had but it's what most people would eat. The versions they showed in this video were more upmarket fancier versions. P.s I've never actually met anyone call tomato sauce dead horse.
"As an Australian" completely ignore this suggestion lmao servo pies do bot rep us. We go to bakeries or even a cafe they're everywhere absolutely no one is eating over priced sevo pies unless they have to lol. Do the exact opposite of this comment.
Hey Mark, I'm glad that you are visiting Australia. Please make videos in all of the major cities. Thank you for keeping all of your videos free of any profanity. God Bless You, Ying, and Micah and family!!!!
To be critical, a little too trendy, upmarket, and misrepresented. Missing some of the real Aussie tucker (from outside of Fitzroy! Yes, I said it!), the likes of gummy shark, king george whiting, rabbit, prawns, potato cakes (potato scallops/fritters), and vanilla slice. Anyway, love your stuff Mark. Keep going fella 👍
10 years ago when I lived in Melbourne this was my market of choice. Less crowded than the QV market, and with some amazing stalls. I remember the butcher with great dry aged beef, the chinese butcher with amazing home made broth, and the veggie stall with a guy specializing in so many potato varieties. It looks like they renovated the front. Australia is still lacking in native food restaurants, they don't use traditional ingredients, like bush fruits and herbs very much, and you won't find kangaroo or wallaby very often on the menu, you have to cook it yourself. But I didn't mind, I tried recipes, and yeah the seafood is stunning. They haven't depleted their oceans (yet) so it's affordable and there's stuff you'll never see in Europe. I remember pink ling as my fish of choice, I once made it grilled with a habanero and roasted pineapple salsa, stunning. Near my place on Rathdowne Street, there was also a little shop making their own mozzarella and burrata. And when it comes to restaurants, Melbourne has amazing stuff to offer, just not australian food. There's a great sichuanese place, a birmese restaurant, nice ramen, even a cool hungarian place. It is an amazing city. Quite safe (at least before the drug issues in St Kilda), very pedestrian friendly, with so many places to see on the week end.
Why are so many, so salty in the comments. Quite pathetic. Love the show Mark. Don't forget Tasmania, New Zealand, Fiji. So many unique islands to see also, If of course you have the time...
C. minute 5:00: Mark, a simple tip is to walk/travel with your own re-usable cutlery (even just a spoon and a fork. That way, you can cut hot, dripping things like the meat pie into neat little mouthfuls . . . without messing your hands....or your clothes....or the floor.....and without burning your mouth by taking too much at once..... Eco-friendly approach to food and travel.
Nice episode. Having lived in Australia a few years… my experience is that Melbourne has the best variety of foods / dining options at a wide range of prices. Glad you featured First Nations food.
Mark Wiens I'm telling you right now that you have to visit Adelaide! It's The ULTIMATE Festival State, and the food, attractions, scenery, and hospitality is AMAZING.
As an Aussie who grew up in Thailand (หัวใจไทยหน้าฝรั่ง), I have to say that a huge amount of the things you taste in this video (although they seem DELICIOUS) are "Melbourne Hipster" / "High Art" cuisine. Most Australians, sadly, do NOT eat Kangaroo and Emu that often (even though it's readily available), it's most CERTAINLY not available at most pubs (the Chicken Parmy with Kangaroo looks amazing, but 75% of pubs in Australia just serve a classic Chicken Parmy), and even the "Dim Sim" you tried is basically "Gourmet" / for tourists. I do hope you get the chance to ACTUALLY try what REGULAR Australian people try on the reg - including something like Phad Thai or Gaeng Keow Wan! :D Also - when that girl says that Kangaroos are a "Feral Pest" my blood nearly boiled off the stove. They are NATIVE ANIMALS. The only reason they are "PESTS" is because they invade farms growing EUROPEAN crops, because naturally those are an incredible source of food. To call them "PESTS" is to equate them with introduced species, which is not only deeply offensive and insulting, it's just plain wrong. To call them "Feral" also - is completely uneducated, since these species are native to the Australian continent. I appreciate her hospitality and kindness, but rest assured, the experience she provided to you of "Authentic Australian Cuisine" was highly skewed to a highly educated, affluent, and WHITE demographic very specific to MELBOURNE only. I appreciate that it was delicious and enlightening, but you need to know that this woman's outlook represents less than 10% of the entire population. Crikey - you could interview and follow the average Asian or Indian Australian and get a far more authentic experience than this inner city elite haute cuisine tour of "Australian Cuisine". Did you notice that the sign above the South Melbourne Market also said "Selamat Datang" in Malay/Bahasa for tourists? There's a reason for that. Even the "Dim Sims" you ate were WAAAAY more "bougie" than what the average Australians' experience of a "Dim Sim" is. EDIT : I"ve also NEVER SEEN a "Bogan Burger", and the way it is basically a hipster burn and insult to the working class is not lost on me. EDIT 2 : I also GUARANTEE you that less than ONE PERCENT of Australians have tried a "Wallaby Tartare with Egg Yolk". อาหารนี้ "ไฮโซ"
You have a point there. I'm not from Australia but I have been there several times. I don't go to expensive ' hipster' places. I normally enjoy watching Mark trying food that the average person would eat. Though all the food looked delicious.
I grew up working class in Melbourne and I'd disagree on one point. The South Melbourne Market dim sims, meat pie, and jam donuts are extremely commonplace. Remember that South Melbourne (and their markets) only became gentrified very recently, but those three dishes haven't changed one bit in decades. My boomer parents would say the same. Sofia's enthusiasm & general knowledge was very good, but I did wish they included least one POC tour guide or talk a little more in depth to a POC chef. Especially at the Aboriginal restaurant. Though on another comment Mark did mention going to Sydney so hopefully he meets some more diverse locals there. And hoping he actually goes to the outback as well to see traditional food in traditional contexts, and to hear some stories.
The food was definitely hipster, but what is up with the racism? Why an asian or Indian, they’ve only been migrating to Australia in the last 50 years, the British built the country. Geez.
@@smalltownhomesteadAC Actually the British "Invaded" the country, but you go ahead and call me racist some more. The British built a nice outpost, immigrants (not just Asians, but Europeans and people from many other parts of the world) made it an amazing, diverse and culturally rich place that is the envy of the world. I am, you are, we are ALL Australians. (Not just the British).
@@bogantellectual I appreciate your input, and I do get that this is probably a local Melbourne thing, so that's cool. Just even when they said a Dim Sim, I saw what was offered and was like "WHY AREN'T MY DIM SIMS THAT GOOD?".. Clearly it's an outlier, but I think most will find that Australian's experience with Dim Sims are something WAY crappier than that, but in many ways equally delicious in a naughty way. I can agree the Meat pies looked legit as well as the jam donuts. Thanks for your comment, it really reflects some of what I was thinking too.
I was hoping you’d make it to Australia Mark. I was there for a year studying zoology and I didn’t want to leave. I hope you and your family have as much fun as I did and enjoy at least one of their over 600 National parks (most of any country in the world). Safe travels!
Hey Mark, welcome to Australia. Nice video of you tasting "the best" Melbourne has to offer, yes the coffee in Melb is good, no denying that. Time for you to come and indulge in the variety of tastes in Sydney, dont forget to visit our beautiful harbour and sandy beaches.
Mark and Ying, I've been to Melbourne twice, I had a great time on both occasions. Your latest edition in Austraila just gave me another reason to visit again, sooner than later. Those places, Supper Inn, Gerald's bar, etc. will be a must for us to soak in and enjoy. Thank you for our expertise! Vjet Sevilla, Chino Hills, CA.
The pub or taverns like this are all over the country but its the small town pub that really shows the true colors of aussies most are hard working people especially the country pub it really is a community meeting place or the local watering hole as we call it. Good to see a fair mix of quality produce and meals!!!
Omg Mark you are in Australia, and in particular my city of Melbourne 😍 I’m so happy you got to visit here and experience our beautiful country. I hope you were treated well and you had a fantastic time, I wished I could have met up with you and the family.
My Dad grew up in Port Melbourne, and the South Melbourne market Dim Sim is legendary. I remember as a young kid some 30 plus years ago, Dad taking me to the markets to get a massive Dim Sim and a Jam Donut. Welcome to Australia, Mark. Have fun mate
@@MarkWiens the Dim Sim originally was a recipe by Chinese immigrant William Chen Wing and his company Wing Lee with the South Melbourne version being a later version. Classic Australian Chinese food!
I have to admit I don’t remember the Dim Sims at South Melbourne market when I was a kid, there was an amazing fry place though. Does anyone remember that fries place?
Glad you finally made it to our shores Mark!! Not enough bloggers come to Australia to experience our fresh and superior produce. Modern Australian Food is the fusion of multicultural Australia. It’s what makes Australia such a success story. I hope you also managed to fit in Sydney into your busy itinerary to savour our food and dining scene in Australia’s global city.
@@kosan2875 you could say the same about when we travel to Europe or any other destination in the world. Yes, it’s a pain in the arse but us Australians are willing to fly up to 24-36hrs to experience other parts of the world
Thank you Mark, I have watched most of Australian videos now, I feel very proud that you have enjoyed the cultural diversity of our food and culture, you have surrounded yourself with exceptional Australian food guides, and they have given you a great invite to our food culture, our home is your home
You are at your best when you got a lot of coffee in you. The food was so interesting. I was not expecting the wonderful variety. One of your best efforts. Great job team!
I am a migrant residing in Sydney but currently in Bulgaria as Australians love to travel &take their tastebuds around the world Camel 🐫 has become popular in Oz& often served during Ramadan festival Glad you visited Big Esso&I believe in Melbourne there is a popular indigenous fusion restaurant&the best pie 🥧 awards recently happened,cheers&thanks 🍻
It’s about time the man came to Australia! There is so much more to explore I hope he does multiple episodes or at least comes back to experience the other states!!
Hi from South Africa. Wow, each and every place you guys stopped to eat looks amazing, and the food looks absolutely delicious. Your hosts were warm and friendly. Love all the food you tried out. If I ever visit Australia one day, I would love to try out some of the dishes shown in this amazing video. Take care and safe travels 😂✌️
Welcome to Australia! You've really hit the ground running with this Aussie food tour! So many iconic dishes and great seeing Aboriginal food represented. Now you need to try a lamington 😋
They where not traditional aboriginal food it was a mush mash of lefty food grub from yuppie Melbourne people. Cant stand the chick either she has no idea what is the real Australian and real Aussie food.
I'm very excited that you tried some native Australian food! Personally my favorite native ingredient is Quondongs also known as a wild peach. It's very bitter raw but people will usually turn it in to a jam or bake it into a pie and it's increadible. It grows wild almost everywhere in Australia and I wish more people would give it a go.
@@dhashabalachandran6356 I'm not too sure where to get it in Melbourne, but it's easily available for online purchase both in it's jam form and as dried fruit (can be placed in water over night and will rehydrate into fresh usable form) If you're looking to try for the first time I reccomend the jam first.
As an Aussie who has marveled and watched you eat around the world, including Ghana, Senegal and Jamaica that are all becoming destinations to try all those flavours, it's so good to see you showcase some of our favourites with special nods, to Indigenous culture, coffee, fresh flavours and our diverse multicultural flavours did me proud all the way from Canada. Thank you.
Sorry, these our, our favorites? Lol. No one eats any of these foods minus a jam doughnut rarely - when at the south melb market, same regarding the dimsims. Kangaroo parma was a piss take. What planet are you on mate. ", it's so good to see you showcase some of our favourites with special nods, to Indigenous culture, coffee, fresh flavours and our diverse multicultural flavours did me proud all the way from Canada." So you are from Canada, yet are saying these are our favorite foods. You sound fucked mate.
Australian food (what the original settlers brought here) was seriously simple in comparison to what we have today with the Italian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian and the list goes on and on. Of course we have the Aboriginal foods too such as the bush tucker, which we are always learning about and being incorporated into our national cuisines.
I live in QLD but I am so happy you came to Australia. Now I will be able to travel around Australia and experience what you tried. Hope you enjoy it in Australia 🇦🇺

Thank you very much Hans!
When Mark just nods after a bite he really doesn’t like it he’s being nice., But when he leans back after a bite it’s 🔥 😂😂😂
I agree. He has a tell.
See the key is to give him enough beer and wine so that he is already leaning before he starts eating :D

Yeah Frankston, is up right there with the best. I lived there for 38.5yrs, and in 2010, they started to get it right.
Love the little changes you've been making in content creation. Light subtle changes. Been huge follower since 2016,Mark.
I’ve never seen anyone maul a pie like that 😂😂. That’s a well enjoyed meal.
He needs some lessons on how to hold it 👍🤣
Hahaha I was so thinking that when I saw him dive in.
The pie fell apart on the first bite. No one wants that. We want to be able to eat it witout having hot pie filling burn our hands and stain our clothes. 0 out of 10 for the pie.
Love your videos, and glad you came to Australia, as a chef and someone who worked in the kangaroo industry it was good to see you got to try kangaroo. But that lady should not be giving bullshit information. Yes the kangaroo gets overpopulated because of the conditions created by agriculture, and yes at times those numbers damage crops, but kangaroos are not feral pests they are a native animal, if she doesn’t know that perhaps she should learn that first before acknowledging indigenous people, theirs more to their culture than just saying I acknowledge them
as an aussie i felt satisfied by how you placed the seasoning
Proven
as a kiwi, I was a little disturbed by the grip on the pie, as I imagine some aussies would be. But this is a great video overall.
@@miolner88 he squashed it 😂
as an aussie, the only things in that video that I have ever eaten and consider Australian are the dim sim, the pie and the parma.
Heard your farts sound like a didgeridoo when you eat bad Australian food
Australia has the best coffee (maybe outside italy) and cafe food. Their cafes have actually good food. Fresh produce as well love australia
I freaking love ham n cheese, THAT LOOKS SOOOOO GOOD
Australian food is now basically the world on a plate nowadays
Yes, because besides Aboriginal cuisine, it's just criminal outcast UK "cuisine." Which is wot? Fish n' Chippies or an English Brekkie? Pffffft
@@mistamowgli513 aboriginal cuisine lol
Fresh frozen
Adult children
Alone together and
Aboriginal cuisine
Thanks for the laugh
@@oftin_wong what’s so funny about aboriginal cuisine. What the hell do think people ate before the filthy convicts took over? Seriously?
@@mistamowgli513 we have people from all over the world here so we have every type of cuisine under the sun. Yes we love our fish and chips but who doesn't. and brekky is cigs and a cuppa.
My Grandparents are from Italy so im eating pasta twice a week
most british food has now been replaced with 3 choices kebab curry or Chinese,I'm literally the only person in the uk that still cooks real british food,outside in the street,there are literally 3 choices,I remember our government needed to diversify more and more and now it's so diverse just british food is not diverse, so that's all gone in the rubbish bin,being white too is not diverse, put us all in the rubbish bin
Mark, you went to Australia!!!! That is my dream, I have been wanting to go forever and visit the Australia zoo but thanks to you I have other places I need to visit. Thank you, this was so amazing. You did a wonderful job showing a side of Australia that others haven’t seen.
Thank you very much Frannie, appreciate it!
Australia Zoo is something you have to experience, it has been created with such love for the animals.
OMG at section 7:25 I noticed your son,, my God I remember when your wife and you were carrying him around in the carryall :) has it really been that many years that I have been watching you :) Wahoooo I love your video's LOL
C. minute 42:30: That is not something to attempt to eat in one bite! That is something to approach with great care: e.g., remove the top layer of bread (even better, discard the empty calories)....then use knife and fork to sample parts of the mountain in manageable small mouthfuls. This is clearly a family-sized platter best cut into sections and shared around the table, not attempted solo....with the expectable dislocation of jaw and other side-effects.
such a polite guy, he will eat anything unless its outright inedible
No
I appreciate Mark's appreciation and politeness, because of none of the food at South Melb market is really good
😂😂
He's made millions of dollars making believe.
Probably here as a sponsored visit. I can't see anything worth investigating for him over here, in a culinary sense.
Yes!! You are finally here!! You're the best Mark. Hope you and your beautiful family enjoy your time down under. 😃
Excited for this Australia 🇦🇺 food tour. Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Thanks mark!
its Australian Food* Btw
You should come and visit us in Melbourne Australia if we didn’t live in a dictatorship, I’m sure you would love us and our food. It’s just our government tier you won’t like, as many of us don’t. But we would welcome you, wholeheartedly
👍
@@nswemergencyphotography14He knows that …. Brains 🧠
@@maria2162 You live in a democracy.You had an opportunity to change your government but the electorate voted to retain the sitting party.Which indicates, despite what you think, the government is extremely popular.
I did laugh at your polite response to sausage rolls & that Sth Melb Market Dim Sim....IYKYK 🤣 you just copped the 2 worst things we have to offer but it's all uphill from there!!! Yay!!
Sth Melb markets is great at night but mainly it's amazing to buy your fresh produce to cook at home. Agatha Patisserie Pandan Croissants needs to be on your to eat list though!
Can't go wrong with a classic meat pie!
As an Australian I have to point out that the "real" Australian meat pie/sausage roll/dimmie experience is from a petrol station or lunch bar. It won't be as good as what mark had but it's what most people would eat. The versions they showed in this video were more upmarket fancier versions. P.s I've never actually met anyone call tomato sauce dead horse.
Heaps of the older gen call tomato sauce "dead horse". You don't buy dimmies at a servo- buy them at a fish and chips shop!
"As an Australian" completely ignore this suggestion lmao servo pies do bot rep us. We go to bakeries or even a cafe they're everywhere absolutely no one is eating over priced sevo pies unless they have to lol. Do the exact opposite of this comment.
petrol station pies and sausage rolls are bad.. go to your local asian bakery, they maken the best
@@Loft-pm6lk agree!
@@Loft-pm6lk it's not a suggestion it's an observation
Hey Mark, I'm glad that you are visiting Australia. Please make videos in all of the major cities. Thank you for keeping all of your videos free of any profanity. God Bless You, Ying, and Micah and family!!!!
Thank you very much Roderick!

@@SnowClover oh that’s great!
@@MarkWiens I can see you are really having a great time in Australia
To be critical, a little too trendy, upmarket, and misrepresented. Missing some of the real Aussie tucker (from outside of Fitzroy! Yes, I said it!), the likes of gummy shark, king george whiting, rabbit, prawns, potato cakes (potato scallops/fritters), and vanilla slice. Anyway, love your stuff Mark. Keep going fella 👍
So nice to see his Son, God bless him!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Please come to Canada soon, Mark! We would love to have you here! I hope to see it in my lifetime
So great to finally meet you face to face in Melbourne!! Hope you’ve enjoyed our city, our culture and our food!
Thank you Jacky, great to meet you as well!
Lucky dude, it would make my day running into Mark the OG
Micah lucky little boy to travel with his parents see different cultures.
Mark come over to New Zealand and try Maori-Kiwi foods too
Yep...I second that!
Yes, I would love to, hoping to plan a trip soon to New Zealand.
thats great, hoping to see you soon @Mark Weins. NZ has great foods to try. Im a big fan of yours 🤗
@@MarkWiens Rotorua is the place you need to visit! Youll get all the authetic food there
Ahhhh soo cool! hopefully you don't get some city slicker marshmallow guide🤞🏽
Looking forward to that vid
10 years ago when I lived in Melbourne this was my market of choice. Less crowded than the QV market, and with some amazing stalls. I remember the butcher with great dry aged beef, the chinese butcher with amazing home made broth, and the veggie stall with a guy specializing in so many potato varieties. It looks like they renovated the front. Australia is still lacking in native food restaurants, they don't use traditional ingredients, like bush fruits and herbs very much, and you won't find kangaroo or wallaby very often on the menu, you have to cook it yourself. But I didn't mind, I tried recipes, and yeah the seafood is stunning. They haven't depleted their oceans (yet) so it's affordable and there's stuff you'll never see in Europe. I remember pink ling as my fish of choice, I once made it grilled with a habanero and roasted pineapple salsa, stunning. Near my place on Rathdowne Street, there was also a little shop making their own mozzarella and burrata.
And when it comes to restaurants, Melbourne has amazing stuff to offer, just not australian food. There's a great sichuanese place, a birmese restaurant, nice ramen, even a cool hungarian place. It is an amazing city. Quite safe (at least before the drug issues in St Kilda), very pedestrian friendly, with so many places to see on the week end.
If you’re still in Melbourne you must go to the best kebab shop in Australia it’s called “KATIK” and their specialty is called “Adana”
Why are so many, so salty in the comments. Quite pathetic. Love the show Mark. Don't forget Tasmania, New Zealand, Fiji. So many unique islands to see also, If of course you have the time...
Great episode. So glad you're finally here! Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺
Hi mark I'm so glad you made it to Australia 🇦🇺 hope you had an awesome time celebrating our culture..
Food is bland & basic,nothing new
Thank you very much Doreen!
@@superfly7160 you’re basic and nothing new
C. minute 5:00: Mark, a simple tip is to walk/travel with your own re-usable cutlery (even just a spoon and a fork. That way, you can cut hot, dripping things like the meat pie into neat little mouthfuls . . . without messing your hands....or your clothes....or the floor.....and without burning your mouth by taking too much at once..... Eco-friendly approach to food and travel.
I've lived in Australia for 40 years and I've never heard Tomato sauce called 'dead horse' :) Great video though.
Welcome to my hometown Mark! Loved the variety of the food you tried. Can't beat Melburnian coffee and brunch :) Welcome back anytime!
Thank you very much Eunice!
I like how Mark appreciates almost all the food he puts in his mouth…
Nice episode. Having lived in Australia a few years… my experience is that Melbourne has the best variety of foods / dining options at a wide range of prices. Glad you featured First Nations food.
The way you ate that pie wasn't far off the old pie in the face gags only you were doing it to yourself! Great vid!
Mark Wiens I'm telling you right now that you have to visit Adelaide! It's The ULTIMATE Festival State, and the food, attractions, scenery, and hospitality is AMAZING.
As an Aussie who grew up in Thailand (หัวใจไทยหน้าฝรั่ง), I have to say that a huge amount of the things you taste in this video (although they seem DELICIOUS) are "Melbourne Hipster" / "High Art" cuisine. Most Australians, sadly, do NOT eat Kangaroo and Emu that often (even though it's readily available), it's most CERTAINLY not available at most pubs (the Chicken Parmy with Kangaroo looks amazing, but 75% of pubs in Australia just serve a classic Chicken Parmy), and even the "Dim Sim" you tried is basically "Gourmet" / for tourists. I do hope you get the chance to ACTUALLY try what REGULAR Australian people try on the reg - including something like Phad Thai or Gaeng Keow Wan! :D
Also - when that girl says that Kangaroos are a "Feral Pest" my blood nearly boiled off the stove. They are NATIVE ANIMALS. The only reason they are "PESTS" is because they invade farms growing EUROPEAN crops, because naturally those are an incredible source of food. To call them "PESTS" is to equate them with introduced species, which is not only deeply offensive and insulting, it's just plain wrong. To call them "Feral" also - is completely uneducated, since these species are native to the Australian continent.
I appreciate her hospitality and kindness, but rest assured, the experience she provided to you of "Authentic Australian Cuisine" was highly skewed to a highly educated, affluent, and WHITE demographic very specific to MELBOURNE only. I appreciate that it was delicious and enlightening, but you need to know that this woman's outlook represents less than 10% of the entire population.
Crikey - you could interview and follow the average Asian or Indian Australian and get a far more authentic experience than this inner city elite haute cuisine tour of "Australian Cuisine". Did you notice that the sign above the South Melbourne Market also said "Selamat Datang" in Malay/Bahasa for tourists? There's a reason for that.
Even the "Dim Sims" you ate were WAAAAY more "bougie" than what the average Australians' experience of a "Dim Sim" is.
EDIT : I"ve also NEVER SEEN a "Bogan Burger", and the way it is basically a hipster burn and insult to the working class is not lost on me.
EDIT 2 : I also GUARANTEE you that less than ONE PERCENT of Australians have tried a "Wallaby Tartare with Egg Yolk".
อาหารนี้ "ไฮโซ"
You have a point there. I'm not from Australia but I have been there several times. I don't go to expensive ' hipster' places. I normally enjoy watching Mark trying food that the average person would eat. Though all the food looked delicious.
I grew up working class in Melbourne and I'd disagree on one point. The South Melbourne Market dim sims, meat pie, and jam donuts are extremely commonplace. Remember that South Melbourne (and their markets) only became gentrified very recently, but those three dishes haven't changed one bit in decades. My boomer parents would say the same.
Sofia's enthusiasm & general knowledge was very good, but I did wish they included least one POC tour guide or talk a little more in depth to a POC chef. Especially at the Aboriginal restaurant. Though on another comment Mark did mention going to Sydney so hopefully he meets some more diverse locals there. And hoping he actually goes to the outback as well to see traditional food in traditional contexts, and to hear some stories.
The food was definitely hipster, but what is up with the racism? Why an asian or Indian, they’ve only been migrating to Australia in the last 50 years, the British built the country. Geez.
@@smalltownhomesteadAC Actually the British "Invaded" the country, but you go ahead and call me racist some more. The British built a nice outpost, immigrants (not just Asians, but Europeans and people from many other parts of the world) made it an amazing, diverse and culturally rich place that is the envy of the world. I am, you are, we are ALL Australians. (Not just the British).
@@bogantellectual I appreciate your input, and I do get that this is probably a local Melbourne thing, so that's cool. Just even when they said a Dim Sim, I saw what was offered and was like "WHY AREN'T MY DIM SIMS THAT GOOD?".. Clearly it's an outlier, but I think most will find that Australian's experience with Dim Sims are something WAY crappier than that, but in many ways equally delicious in a naughty way. I can agree the Meat pies looked legit as well as the jam donuts.
Thanks for your comment, it really reflects some of what I was thinking too.
I was hoping you’d make it to Australia Mark. I was there for a year studying zoology and I didn’t want to leave. I hope you and your family have as much fun as I did and enjoy at least one of their over 600 National parks (most of any country in the world). Safe travels!
Thank you very much Leon, great to hear that. We did visit a few national parks, but I wanted to visit so many more, beautiful country!
Hey Mark, welcome to Australia. Nice video of you tasting "the best" Melbourne has to offer, yes the coffee in Melb is good, no denying that. Time for you to come and indulge in the variety of tastes in Sydney, dont forget to visit our beautiful harbour and sandy beaches.
I like the way Marks face light's up after every bite, he is a happy customer.
It seems like a cultivated affectation. He adjusts his behaviour to maximise engagement.
Audible fart at 40:01 - must have been all that roo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mark and Ying, I've been to Melbourne twice, I had a great time on both occasions. Your latest edition in Austraila just gave me another reason to visit again, sooner than later. Those places, Supper Inn, Gerald's bar, etc. will be a must for us to soak in and enjoy. Thank you for our expertise! Vjet Sevilla, Chino Hills, CA.
The pub or taverns like this are all over the country but its the small town pub that really shows the true colors of aussies most are hard working people especially the country pub it really is a community meeting place or the local watering hole as we call it. Good to see a fair mix of quality produce and meals!!!
Omg Mark you are in Australia, and in particular my city of Melbourne 😍 I’m so happy you got to visit here and experience our beautiful country. I hope you were treated well and you had a fantastic time, I wished I could have met up with you and the family.
Oh cool, glad to hear you're from Melbourne, I really enjoyed it, Thank you very much!
@@MarkWiens yes I’m in Melbourne Mark. So happy you came and I love the Victoria markets it’s so lively, the food selection is great too.
Mark is a superstar wherever he goes haha.
Hi, Welcome to Melbourne CrystalJade eat DimSim yamcha
My Dad grew up in Port Melbourne, and the South Melbourne market Dim Sim is legendary. I remember as a young kid some 30 plus years ago, Dad taking me to the markets to get a massive Dim Sim and a Jam Donut. Welcome to Australia, Mark. Have fun mate
Cool to hear that Nico, glad this brought back memories!
@@MarkWiens the Dim Sim originally was a recipe by Chinese immigrant William Chen Wing and his company Wing Lee with the South Melbourne version being a later version. Classic Australian Chinese food!
I have to admit I don’t remember the Dim Sims at South Melbourne market when I was a kid, there was an amazing fry place though. Does anyone remember that fries place?
Glad you finally made it to our shores Mark!!
Not enough bloggers come to Australia to experience our fresh and superior produce. Modern Australian Food is the fusion of multicultural Australia. It’s what makes Australia such a success story.
I hope you also managed to fit in Sydney into your busy itinerary to savour our food and dining scene in Australia’s global city.
Thank you very much, yes we made it to Sydney!
australia is too far away from the rest of the world
@@kosan2875 you could say the same about when we travel to Europe or any other destination in the world. Yes, it’s a pain in the arse but us Australians are willing to fly up to 24-36hrs to experience other parts of the world
You guys make my beef
Mark's been there already,England lol
Mark is probably shocked with the prices in Melbourne and left after day 2. 🤣
Thank you Mark, I have watched most of Australian videos now, I feel very proud that you have enjoyed the cultural diversity of our food and culture, you have surrounded yourself with exceptional Australian food guides, and they have given you a great invite to our food culture, our home is your home
SOMEONE TAKE THIS MAN TO EAT A MIXED SNACK PACK WITH BBQ GARLIC AND CHILLI SAUCE ASAAAP
By far one of your best videos, Mark. And so glad it could be right here in my own country. Welcome Mate !
You are at your best when you got a lot of coffee in you. The food was so interesting. I was not expecting the wonderful variety. One of your best efforts. Great job team!
As a chef from Melbourne who religiously watches your videos it’s so amazing to see you and your family made it here! Cheers mate!
I am a migrant residing in Sydney but currently in Bulgaria as Australians love to travel &take their tastebuds around the world Camel 🐫 has become popular in Oz& often served during Ramadan festival Glad you visited Big Esso&I believe in Melbourne there is a popular indigenous fusion restaurant&the best pie 🥧 awards recently happened,cheers&thanks 🍻
Here's a conversation I wasn't expecting to hear today:
Chef: There's actually ant larvae in there as well.
Mark: Oh nice.
Australia wants Marc Wiens as our Food President!
That had to be the wildest pie bite I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
It’s about time the man came to Australia! There is so much more to explore I hope he does multiple episodes or at least comes back to experience the other states!!
Hi from South Africa. Wow, each and every place you guys stopped to eat looks amazing, and the food looks absolutely delicious. Your hosts were warm and friendly. Love all the food you tried out. If I ever visit Australia one day, I would love to try out some of the dishes shown in this amazing video. Take care and safe travels 😂✌️
Thank you very much, I'd love to visit South Africa as well!
Being your Rand with you. The cost of those dishes probably cost more than Mark's airfare to Australia.
Welcome to Australia! You've really hit the ground running with this Aussie food tour! So many iconic dishes and great seeing Aboriginal food represented. Now you need to try a lamington 😋
These weren't Australian foods.
He hasn't hit the ground running at all.
What a joke of a comment.
They where not traditional aboriginal food it was a mush mash of lefty food grub from yuppie Melbourne people. Cant stand the chick either she has no idea what is the real Australian and real Aussie food.
@@Prof.Pwnalot why so angry mate, what's up?
Australia food as bad as UK? Cause I agree , did not seem Australian. No vegimite was a red flag
I'm very excited that you tried some native Australian food! Personally my favorite native ingredient is Quondongs also known as a wild peach. It's very bitter raw but people will usually turn it in to a jam or bake it into a pie and it's increadible. It grows wild almost everywhere in Australia and I wish more people would give it a go.
Where'd you recommend to get it? Anywhere in Melbourne?
@@dhashabalachandran6356 I'm not too sure where to get it in Melbourne, but it's easily available for online purchase both in it's jam form and as dried fruit (can be placed in water over night and will rehydrate into fresh usable form) If you're looking to try for the first time I reccomend the jam first.
Tackled that pie like it was holding the ball 🏈 Aussie Aussie Aussie 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Never seen anyone eat a meat pie so messy like that lol love it
As an Aussie who has marveled and watched you eat around the world, including Ghana, Senegal and Jamaica that are all becoming destinations to try all those flavours, it's so good to see you showcase some of our favourites with special nods, to Indigenous culture, coffee, fresh flavours and our diverse multicultural flavours did me proud all the way from Canada. Thank you.
Sorry, these our, our favorites?
Lol. No one eats any of these foods minus a jam doughnut rarely - when at the south melb market, same regarding the dimsims.
Kangaroo parma was a piss take.
What planet are you on mate.
", it's so good to see you showcase some of our favourites with special nods, to Indigenous culture, coffee, fresh flavours and our diverse multicultural flavours did me proud all the way from Canada."
So you are from Canada, yet are saying these are our favorite foods.
You sound fucked mate.
Native American food is awesome.
I love fry bread and stuff.
Corn and pumpkin succotash.
Indian food is wonderful

Australian food (what the original settlers brought here) was seriously simple in comparison to what we have today with the Italian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian and the list goes on and on. Of course we have the Aboriginal foods too such as the bush tucker, which we are always learning about and being incorporated into our national cuisines.
I've been living in Sydney for 8 years, and I can tell the Australian food that I know are the ones served on brunch, which is really good.
Love this, you hit some great spots in Melbourne, props to your guides!
I love how the poached egg looks; it is perfectly made!
I am inspired to travel the world, I watch your videos everyday all the way from South Africa Cape Town. I love every content you create.
I swear Mark gets younger and more affable with each episode!
Because he get sto eat great food. How could he not be Healthy lol
This guy makes me feel like I've travelled all over the world
I live in QLD but I am so happy you came to Australia. Now I will be able to travel around Australia and experience what you tried. Hope you enjoy it in Australia 🇦🇺
Omg Welcome to Aussie land Love watching your videos always making me hungry.
This was fascinating! I really had no idea what Australian food was all about and this was the best deep dive!
I'm so glad that you came to Melbourne and actually did things people from Melbourne do
