🇰🇪 Kumbukumbu Tours: /
After arriving in Mombasa, Kenya the previous evening, I set out the next morning to go on a fantastic street food tour for breakfast! Join me on my breakfast street food tour of Mombasa, Kenya!
Mombasa lies on the Indian Ocean and has been a trade hub for centuries. It’s also the street food capital of Kenya and the country’s second-largest city.

MAALIM CAFE: We started in the kitchens with some fried potatoes with chilies, sweet chapati, and bananas (matoke) with coconut cream. Then, we had tamarind juice with ginger, chapati, maharagwe (kidney beans in coconut milk), sambosa, chai, bhajia, supa ya nyama (beef soup), viazi vya rojo (tomato stew with potatoes), and fried red snapper. We ended with some biscuits!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,400 destinations in 98 countries to experience and document unique cultures on my TH-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I highlight culture and historical sites, but my passion is food! I love to experience and showcase the different flavors each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Ramadhān Mubārak to all!
Saum maqbul
Ohhh this makes me homesick!! Beautiful food! 😋
Mombasa brings lots of memories, since I was born in Mombasa. Thank you David you are the best bringing all the good memories of Mombasa
4:05 pass the hot chapati 😂😂😂😂
This vid has inspired me to go down to Mombasa after Easter for the food. The beans in coconut milk and the cassava chips are calling my name 😀
WOWW! Thats amazing to hear that! Thank you so much Mashariki! That is probably the best compliment I could hear to know I help inspired and informed for a trip! Hope you have a blessed weekend too!
David you are so down to earth 🙂
Thank you so so much Charles Samantha!!
David make sure you don't leave without having the roasted maize scrubbed with lemon and grated chillies as well as mangoes with grated chillies
David found an enthusiastic foodie local guide in Ke. Awesome content! I have seen so much that I didn't really appreciate in our own local cuisines
Bro you've nailed it i live in mombasa but you are down to earth and ready to learn you are easy to get along with
thank you so much masoud! That means a lot to hear! Hope you have an amazing weekend too.
I'm in awe of your simplicity
mombasa to the world❤
❤❤❤❤❤ Blessings and Love to all and thanks again for sharing another epic video with us. Love in the house from Trinidad.
The street foods looked so tasty/delicious and a lot of them are very natural/healthy...esp the plantain with coconut creams and the tamarind/ginger drinks. Another great showing of the delicious street foods of Kenya. Thanks David and Tasos and stay safe on all your travels. Blessings.
So good! ❤❤❤ I could eat here all day 😊
The beauty of motherland
I am literally eating coconut maharagwe and chapati right now in a cold and rainy Nairobi!
Jambo brouh ,thats my home! Keep me starving
I love this Kenya content David bro. Thank you for bringing content from my parents home Dave. Out of interest did you try any Kenyan Indian food while out there?
Yes todays video is going to blow your mind. Drops in 70 mins ❤
@@Davidsbeenhere Amazing. Happy weekend to you and all your subscribers. Cant wait 🙏🏾👍🏾😉
Not bad David, however being from Mombasa myself I'd rather say its better to have a proper guide from Mombasa who knows better of all the cool spots and what each of these dishes represent to the coast, and also contain. I still enjoyed the video and happy to see you enjoying the food and culture 😆
good one🔥🔥🔥🔥
So much to see and learn. The food looks tasty and delish. Simple and effective way of life. Always interesting to see these special places. 💖
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤❤❤
Well, well, well David, the foods gets better with each video. Love the menu but the fruit that they called "banana" was actually "plantain". It looked like a de-constructed oil down with just the plantain and the coconut milk. The chapati looked really good too. I am glad to see you all drinking the tamarind and ginger juice which is very healthy and good for digestion and your blood. And my favorite chai (I get chocolate chai here in Toronto), besides other flavors as well. Always end a meal with a hot drink especially if the meal has a lot of grease and fats. Tasos' facial expressions are priceless. You all make me laugh and it's very entertaining and enjoyable to watch. So it's off to explore some more of Mombasa and waiting to see what's next. Take care and God bless 🙏🤗💛🇹🇹🇨🇦

I've never ever heard David said something taste bad ornot so good lol your the best David
fake nacho cheese and cheese whiz I absolutely hate! LOL.
My boy David, you killed it man. You know what tastes good. The viazi karai, coconut maharagwe and coconut bananas, you nailed it.
Would have been great if you got a local guide in Mombasa who understands the dishes. They are very different in Nairobi
Hard my friend. Working on always seeking the best guides possible but it’s god plan ❤
Yeah like chef Ali knows his stuff
At 8:30 the guy said ''Baba ebu kakae kando twachie sisi tuliosoma'' which translates to ''Kindly stay away,And leave them to us who are learned''🤣🤣
My boy Sam . Kenya to the world
Hey David. Omg. This food looks delicious. The chapati is our (Guyanese) Roti but theirs looks more like naan consistency. Our Roti cooked softer and a little looser and flakier. But love all 🙌🏼. Yes. Definite Indian influence. Lawd tamarind ginger juice. 😋. The minced beef samosa 😋. Potatoes. Fried snapper. Your face was like - don’t nobody want no biscuit 😂. Great Vlog David. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.
THANK YOU CYDNEY! It was so delicious my only regret is that I don't have some now to eat. You know I always love me some Guyanese Food though. Have a beautiful Thursday and thank you for your support always!
Hello david.. can u drop the location of maalim cafe am in Mombasa town..am hungry I need to go grab some coconut beans and pilau
Now this guy has understood Mombasa holistically. You cannot define Mombasa because there's alot of Local African, Indian, Arabic,Portuguese and English influences.
When my homies are in online multiplayer big setup and RGB lighting 😂me in my solo room apartment making callouts and grasping street food for a low budget with my potato low end pc low settings 😂
Potato pcs for life😂😂 I relate 💯
Maharagwe ya nazi is one of my best foods on the Kenyan coast.
Very true David anything coconut is always the best 😂.Thank for sharing your amazing travels.
I appreciate sharing Mombasa and foods..but just a suggestion that you only showed the local or poor areas both in Nairobi and Mombasa but hope there is more to come with your other videos. I also noticed that the Masai Mara video is no longer there..
Thank you so much Akber. There is 12 more Kenya videos on the way with a lot more food of all types! I promise! Also my content tends to focus around street food in general so I don't usually go to fancier places that just happens to be the style of my channel. That said I do have a lot more on the way. Also the Masai Mara video was demonetized by TH-cam and will be reuploaded without the cow blood ceremony and some new footage added. These videos cost a lot of money to film and a lot of people poured thei hearts into the video so I couldn't leave it up in good conscience. Very unfortunate!
Thank you for your prompt reply to my comment. I do enjoy your videos and that is terrible of them to demonetize the video as that is history and culture of the Masai Tribe and tradition. I look forward to seeing that. In regards to my other comment of local and poor areas, I don’t fault you or maybe your guide focused on those areas, but Kenya is one of the fastest growing countries in Africa and if people who have never been there would assume that this is how people live there. I had that problem when I first moved to the US, were many wondered how I got here was it by boat…every country has a modern said to it is all I meant with my comment..I also hope you had a chance to try the street food in Westland’s while you were in Nairobi. Continue the good work and enjoy your videos! If you decide to do Tanzania, I will connect you with a great tour operator who I’ve known for 20 plus years. I don’t have instagram or Facebook so will not be able to DM you but if interested I can email you the information. All the best on your continued success!!
It's not beans but same as beans... It's called mahamri... It's different kind of beans where you can't find in another country
I think they're called pigeon peas in English
I wish i was there with you guys....
When will you be uploading the full 🇬🇩 videos? Great content here BTW 🎉
Very soon! ❤❤❤ think we drop Grenada before Belize and Saudi Arabia 😊
omg you ddnt try mahamri..and also cassava and madafu
U need a local to show u the right way of people of mombasa n more of our food
YOU KNOW GREAT FOOD, BRO..!!!!
That looks like plantains
❤
mae Foster: that is plantain. In some countries they call it banana plantain, just like they call corn "maize".🇹🇹🇨🇦
The tour guide is misguiding that
bhajiya is made with lentils
The spicy sause is made of tamarind and chillies and onions
love samosas :D lets go. stuff those faces lol hot hot.. Those potatoes look good to. I will take that bowl coconut. Im with David anything coconut is good thing. Nice breakfast! Hope you have great day Team David ♥
Hi Elizabeth...How are you?. I hope you are okay ...nice seeing you..Wish you all the best from Hailey and me....Stay safe . Blessings.
@@SakuraHailey Hi Shabana and Hailey. Hope you both doing well . I am somewhat ok but with smile on face. Good to see you to. God bless and much love and blessings for you both. Tc and have great day/weekend upcoming ♥♥ Be safe ♥

THTS SOMALI FOOD BY THE WAYY ENJOYYY🤩
but remember to come to BARINGO kuna nyama choma koriema na lake bogoria
good information!
💪
Ah my city🤗🤗🤗
Karibu mombasaaa😊
wow wow wow!!!!!!
Wow 😋
Any particular food you don’t care for? Just curious.
They’re much fancier hotels in the Mombasa area especially around watamu/diani
Was it just the tour company you used or did you just prefer a more local/poorer vibe?
I only do local. I skip fancy hotels because that ain’t my vibe. I believe in full immersion. That means eat what the people eat. Rent an airbnb and live locally.
@@Davidsbeenhere Okay. I respect that. Did you have any food poisoning issues especially after you ate that popsicle?
❤️🇰🇪❤️
Pretty sure the "bananas" were plantains.
No but similar
Was waiting to see the total price for everything you ordered...
👍
👍👍
Can you give the names of cafes you eat at?
It’s right there in the video 🤭
Rosecoco 😂
David, do they call ripe/yellow plantains banana or were you guys just calling it banana?
In Kiswahili it's called mkono wa tembo
When translated in English it's elephant arm( tusks) but in general we call all of them bananas
Another variety common is called matoke which is pounded and is a staple like rice
Bananas and plantain are similar but not the same
@@gaza1677 thank you, this was very helpful. In Guyana we call plantain and bananas their own thing. And we have a variety of bananas. Interesting to know this is not the same elsewhere
CHAPARRI
Good show but not sure why you keep on bringing up India all the time about Chai. Give credit to kenyan Chai.
OBRYAN!!!!!!!!!😭💔
Your curry videos are fantastic very tantalizing but what irritates me is when you go mmmm that is so irritating stop it but your vlogs are good
sorry it just tastes so good but in future videos I am removing it more! Appreciate the compliment and will do my best to remove it in the future. Thank you Neil.
The descriptions of the plantains is soo off..its not how a real swahili will explain it.
I grabbed my phone to mute it, other people might say I'm watching porn again!!
The tour guy is not well informed with the local traditional meals. He could have ask for the correct names in English from the hosts
That's why Covid 19 could not survive in Africa 😂
Looks like you had a whale of a time!
Bajia si not poteto 😂😂
Stop indenting African
All your videos I watch but for some reason this one seems scripted and fake he ain't even trying they eating from each other mouth he looks disgusted doing it
I'm sorry you feel that way and I appreciate the support. Thank you for letting me know and hopefully the next one will be more to your liking. Thank you Browni Rockette.
@@Davidsbeenhere hopefully ❤️
Why don’t you go eating Indian food pls do respect black people and foods
How is he doing that?
Elina Munuo: I don't see any Indians cooking the food, do you? The food may be Indian-inspired but it's Africans cooking it. Stop the insults. David even said that it's Indian-influenced.
ok
MY. FASY
