- VICTORIA STREET MARKET is Durban's oldest market and a hub of culture and activity.
The parking is underground and we spotted a security guard on duty. Walking up the stairs, you get to the entrance to the market. It was very quiet when we visited, but still experienced an amazing atmosphere. Smells of spices and the vibrancy of all the colours was a treat for the senses. Shop owners are welcoming and friendly and were keen to tell us their stories. The highlight was Aunty Pam's Kitchen, the food was tasty and delicious and Aunty Pam herself is so kind and treated us like we've known each other for a long time. We also enjoyed getting a spice tour at Asian Delights. Nana gave us the tour, she let us taste the spices and mixed up the perfect combination of Durban spice.

I love all the positivity this channel shows. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Lamin, we’re all about the positive vibes 😁
I like The Zulu Shirt reminds us of Jonny Clegg 🙂
I'm a Durbanite 26 yr old and havent even been to Victoria Street Market have just pass through. Cool videos ..thanks for promoting our chilled cool City and the cultures and people.
Hi, thanks for watching 😊 what is your favourite thing to do in Durban?
I’m missing home today, thank you for this video, it felt very familiar
Aww...so happy to hear that 💞
Those potato samosas look redonculous...ooo and a mutton bunny!
I visited the market years ago and it was awesome!! Nice video guys...LOVE the editing at the start!
Those potato samosas were probably the best we have ever had. Such a perfect crunch with a perfect tasty filling😁
What was it like 9 years ago? I'm sure many of the same shops were there.
@@BeingBedingfield I wish I could remember that clearly, but I do remember it was delicious 😋
Eat your veggies, Chantz!! Seriously, super cool.
Wait….they have a spice called Mother-In-Law Exterminator?
So funny, right 🤣🤣
Haha that mother-in-law spice made me laugh! Love that she mixed your spices right in front of you - that would be really cool. Great beaded items in the market and the people all seemed so friendly. Especially in the fish market.
It also made us laugh. Our mothers also had a good laugh😂. It is very cool that they mix the spices right there and then. Thanks for watching😁
Love the new shirt Craig! Also really enjoyed seeing the Zulu bead work. Beautiful work! How cool that you had custom spices mixed for you. Very cool market guys!
Thanks guys. The market was so much fun. We have already used those spices to cook a few meals. So tasty 😁
What is a day at the markets without trying all the food!!! Aunty Pam was so sweet, in fact all those beautiful smiles around the market were just gorgeous. What a great day out!
It was an amazing day out. Aunty Pam was so welcoming and told us the most interesting stories. Talking to all the shop owners and learning about the history was really worth the visit. We really had a good morning 😁
@@BeingBedingfield the people we meet travelling totally make for the experiences, it really looked like you enjoyed yourselves
Always love your bloops! We LOVE markets the closest we’ve come in US to overseas markets are in DC & Philadelphia PA here in the US. Sadly we have the ugly strip malls with our groceries with the exception of maybe local farmers markets. Can’t wait to see what you’re going to make with those spices. Cooking video? ~ Cara 😊
Hi Cara, we also have lots of malls all around 🙈
Mmm...maybe we should make a cooking video, Craig makes really yum curries, maybe we’ll make a TH-cam Shorts video 🤔 thanks for the idea 😅🙏
love all the positivity 💯💯
Thanks so much, we always try and bring the positive vibes to our channel 🥳
My grandad and great grandfather were whalers in Durban .whale curry my favourite .I'm 43 years old not 1 grey hair seriuos
We recently visited the old whaling station…is that where your dad and grandpa worked?
This is awesome. Thanks for this. Thats my hood. Haven't been there in many years. Grew up there. Beautifully nostalgic

Hi Michelle, welcome to our channel 🤗
It’s very different to Asia here! When are you moving?
@@BeingBedingfield this August! I have been checking vlogs about life in south Africa and I came across your vlog. Please feature some Asian restaurants or grocery stores in Durban as well. More power!
@@michellegabayno286 we’ve been wanting to do a grocery haul video 😁👍
There aren’t too many Asian restaurants around, and it costs quite a bit more than in Asia 🙈 but we’ll do our best to try and feature some soon 👌
Oh wow🤣🤣🤣I need to brave it and take a trip there. My cousin use to go there for the fresh fish for me😜🙈🙈 before she moved to Cpt.you have given me courage 🤣🤣🤣Gordon Ramsay went to the spice shop across from where you're having your meal
Thanks for watching😁. You definitely have to go! It was such an awesome experience. So much fish😁.
I saw that Gordon Ramsey episode. So awesome that he was there😁
@@BeingBedingfield will definitely do so
Hey guys I really enjoyed your experience at the Victoria Street Market.
Chantz the earnings you bought are so pretty, it was cool to see all of the beadwork.
Your meal at Auntie Pams looked delicious! I cant remember the names of what you tried but it all sounded good. What a great way to experience other cultures in your area 😊
Ahh and all the spices! Skylar would have been trying them all too..even the Mother In Law Exterminator 😆
Thanks guys. It was such an amazing experience. We are really blessed with all the different cultures in Durban.
Aunty Pam gave us some the most tasty food. The Mutton Bunny Chow and the samosas were soooo good😁
@@BeingBedingfield mmmm mmm mmm her food looked good!
Hi thanks for this! Aunty Pams kitchen.I also have shared this video to the group i created on behalf of Aunty Pam on facebook as well👏👏👏👌🙏❤
Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Aunty Pam is amazing and her food is sooo delicious 🥰
I will like to visit Durban from the usa , where should I stay>
Hi, we have a full KZN guide: th-cam.com/video/rND4m2OxEWY/w-d-xo.html In short, Umhlanga would probably be best for tourists :)
We love market’s. Every place we visit we try to visit a market. This market has so many shops. I would live it there. The earrings are so pretty. The food looks yummy. I love cabbage. Thanks for showing us around this lovely market.
Thanks for watching guys. Markets are definitely one of the best ways of getting a feel for a city 😊
Is Bedingfield a common last name is SA? I’m from Franshhoek but we moved to Canada when I was 4 or 5 years old and my last name is Bedingfield and have yet to meet another here in Canada
Hi, other than family members, we don’t know any other Bedingfield’s either 😅
My mom grew up in Durban, and often spoke about the Indian spices and that market. Thanks for sharing. I grew up in Jnb, and I loved the Oriental Plaza. I miss their amazing fabric shops. Nothing on that scale, in one place here in NZ. (Haven't found it anyway).
Can you only pay with cash or do some vendors take card?
Hi Sharon, If we went again, I would rather take more cash...I saw some shoes that I wanted, but we had run out of cash and that vendor didn't take card.
Tried going there I got robbed
Please help me
That whole area is filthy and unsafe unfortunately . I'm embarrassed that tourists get to go there . Well done on your'lls positivity guys . 😱🇿🇦🤪
