Sonny I want to thank you I am disabled and can't travel watching your food show takes me all over the world getting to see local dishes and places I could never even imagine. Your such an awesome host thank you again your wonderful.
I pride myself on trying anything once. I legit do not know if I could do the squid like that. I love that you are willing to show so much that others would never show.
This random guy walking while facetiming his wife, eating a spoonfull of live shrimps from your hand, giving his opinion and going back his way is so unique! It is a good example of heartfull situations, those that you'll remember, the world is waiting to show you.
I’m Thai and i never saw that living squid dish before. It’s kinda exotic. But i highly recommend the grilled shrimp head cuz it smells so good and crunchy and buttery at the same time🤤
@@tldodds well just some leaf from some edible tree it is ha d to get in the USA and the EU tho you could just use something else green what you think will taste good :D
Sonny was sweating a lot, yet he didn't even change his shirt. Others would've already changed off camera just to look fresh on their respective shows. Meanwhile, Sonny keeps it real and simple. That's why this is the BEFRS!
I love this video once again! My son and I found a nice Asian restaurant near his home last night. All I could think about was what could I order that you get all the time. The chef was great. He grilled and chopped everything right there. The lobster was great for a change. Thanks for teaching me how very good Asian food really is! Definitely not the cans of chop suey my mother bought when I was a child.
Ohhh trust me, asian food is amazing. We have all kinds of different foods from different cultures and races. My fav is def thai food and viet food. You def should try out pho or thai food pad thai. Or go to a korean bbq place where you can experience a whole culture of food in one sitting. Also japanese food too
@@droptopp3479 Asian food is amazing because they're willing to try too many things, exotic, out of place, combine them and make something out of it HAHA. My favourite is Vietnamese.
LOL. As a Singaporean, I liked how he addressed his comments about "exotic asian meats" @ 11:30 . Anyway I love your channel. Your comments on the foods are genuine and sincere.
I worked in Pattaya city for 8 months and man the food was unreal. Street food was amazing. I’d totally move there full time just for the food. The people to are so amazing kind and friendly I can’t say a bad word about thai people and there amazing culture one of the best experiences I’ve ever had living and working in Thailand
Fun fact : in some part of Thailand (Mostly southern and eastern) we call that green chili sauce "น้ำพริกเกลือ" which is directly translated to chili salt sauce and it's one of the most OP sauce in Thailand you can dip almost everything in the sauce and the thing will taste good heck even leather shoe.
@@komododragon410 - Green bird's eye chili - Garlics (small asian one if you can find) - Salt - lime juice - High quality fish sauce - A pinch of sugar (palm suger is preferable but plain sugar will do just fine) - MSG Mash everything together in mortar by adding salt , garlic and chili first (There is no such thing as "traditional thai seafood sauce exact ingredients quantity") taste and adjusting salt , lime juice and sugar to suite your taste it should be sour , salty , spicy , and sweet in order. if it too dry you can add water just go slowly. hope you understand my crappy english and enjoy one of the most OP sauce in existence.
I'm Thai and I considered the shot squid is exotic BTW. Anything else is common. (Include the dancing shrimps.) But raw alive squid in seafood sauce is just getting popular less than a year. And so controversial because some restaurants couldn't provide clean squid and make people sick.
Man you are something else lol,,,love your channels very educational when it comes to food, traveling culture and so much more,,one love from jamaica 🇯🇲
Love this show, wife and I fell in love with this show and can't stop watching!!! Hey Sonny, if you feel up to it when you visit Japan, wanted to see if you could try the famous food vending machines that are everywhere there, and see what you think of them!!
I cant afford to travel but like trying new things all the time and I love trying different cultural dishes , thanks for teaching/ showing us about all this wonderful food & ppl, I greatly appreciate you & your teams efforts including the locals
3:33 We basically called it "squid shot" (หมึกช็อต). It's a rather new and exotic food trend here in Thailand. I personally wouldn't recommend it for sanitary reasons, but if you want to give it a try then go ahead.
bucket list for sure. Def one video I've enjoyed in awhile with BEFRS. Can you do a second one for late night street food in Bangkok? Much appreciated.
5:14 sonny was the kid where his m was like sonny! Stop playing w/ your food! Poor squid. It doesn't even look real tho. It looks like a toy. Or some plastic thing ud fish with
Sonny thanks for the great content. Was just at Jodd Fair Market in Bangkok and thanks to you I ate the live squid (really good) and the jumping shrimp (way to spicy). Keep up the great work. 👍
@@Calvin19244 sushi includes live squid live uni live fresh shrimp. live scallops and oysters and much more sometimes live lobsters which is super awesome
I'm just gonna go ahead and like this video before even watching it because I know Sonny is gonna give us some "stupid yet delightful puns"(don't hate on me if I'm wrong) plus "amazing food coverage"
Sonny deserves cool Asian points. Bc he'll be eating stuff I won't even eat. Not to be awkward or anything but sometimes I wish my southern born & raised country Caucasian hubby was more like him. Hes way less willing to try new things, stick w/ what he knows, & gets me fatter more quickly w/ the things my body is apparently not as used to. Meat is good and everything but I think I'm gonna start cutting back. I was never big on pork anyways & I swear 95% of the time when he's cooking meats, it's always pork. Which I heard is the hardest to digest. Gonna start making my own ish which requires less energy 👍. Other than shredding & mooshing papaya... Went to the Asian store today & found some things they don't usually have & them some. Found roasted rice, fish sauce, papaya, rice cakes, chilli flakes,, fermented fish sauce, Laotian sausage. Then some eggplant, eggs, green apples,,,, & let me tell ya my ideas r unlimited. I swear, it's the little things that make me happy. I can eat on little money's worth, fill up on the food I miss, & not even hafta share. Just got a plate of idk what u call it. But rice wrapped pieces of meat, black mushrooms, cilantro, onions,,, w/ a Chilli dipping sauce type thing & just by the looks he was not impressed. 😋 more for meeee🤗. Now only if I could get him to be more mindful of not losing my specifically Asian type cooking wares 😑😤
This thing just became a new trend here these several months and to be honest many people including myself is not a big fan that, but it is what it is i guess..
I mean if people would only bite it’s head off, sure go for it if that’s the way you wanna eat your food, but dipping it alive in spicy sauce before doing so is cruel. Squids are highly intelligent animals compared to others.
it's definitely the worse cousin, I'm usually not someone to cry animal cruelty, but it rly wouldn't change much to stab it in the brain before dipping it in the sauce
@@Calvin19244 Doesn't it die pretty quickly anyway when you dunk it's head in the sauce? The live octopus are honestly worse. You literally chomp it to bits while it's still alive and squirming. Their natural predators give them a more humane death.
Interesting. I’m from bangkok myself and a lot of these food are exotic even for me. He’s probably upping the stakes XD I never actually ate the squid and the live shrimp but I’ve heard of them Also yeah that sauce is literally called the sea food sauce bc they go together so well and it taste amazing 😋
Love your videos Sunny!!! In the Canadian Maritimes, we tend to eat Lobster with vinegar for the same reason, it compliments and enhances the richness of the Lobster - try it with Mussels too!!! :)
PEI Mussels! I grew up in VT and half the town was Newfies or Quebecois. I can see a good long trip through that region in a couple years. We used to train for Winter Warfare just outside of Quebec City and only got a couple hours to visit the town. Beautiful place!
Sonny , im Singaporean and i say ignore those comments! Love your show and love your comments! Do visit Singapore again and maybe contact KF Seetoh. Just ask Mark Wiens.
That is a fair price for spiny lobster where they exist around Florida and the islands. It's normally about $38 a pound raw right now. In Australia they have a few species and they call those "ornate crays" - short for crayfish. You will notice they don't have large front claws like the Maine lobster (I live in Maine!). I also catch the squid on the coast here and they look just like those (here they are longfin squid), but watching them be eaten raw was a bit too much for me; it wasn't really off-putting but I have a hard time seeing any animals die (even for food). Still a great video!
That was incredible eating the squid after it gets to eat too. Looked hardcore. Owner goes hard. She didnt mind at all. That bone tower looked really good and loaded with peppers. Was fun to watch. Great video
Funny when he said the big shrimp was a little bit underdone, and I was like, Wait! You just ate a live squid and live shrimps, you can't be complaining about undercooked shrimp 😂
Those live shrimp eaten with head & shell are exceptionally nutritionally good for you. The shell part of the shrimp, which westerners usually don't eat, contain a very powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin. It gives the shrimp, lobsters & crabs their red color when cooked. Another interesting point with the eating of the live squid is that that "black ink" is analogous to our blood BUT the iron in our hemoglobin (red blood color) is replaced by copper for mollusks (cephalopods).
Hmm, i didn't see the live squid while in Thailand. I was there two times. I loved the food there and I really could not believe how clean it was compared to other southeast Asian countries. My wife is from Malaysia, which also has some great food, but some of the restaurants scare me to death, lol.
I love how they presented the piled meat to him it almost looked like art to me it looked like a giant mountain with lots of grass and water was the broth almost like a delicious meat island it was beautiful 🥰💖
This guy walking around the world eating all the creature's he can! So amazing! Cant wait to see the episode where he visits that cannibalistic tribe and they have him over for dinner, so yummy!
"SO THE SQUID EATS THE SAUCE THEN YOU EAT THE SQUID?" ----my brother in christ they waterboard the squid with the sauce until it inhales it then we eat it
"Zaab/Zabb" is actually pronounced like "Zair'abt" but faster. It mean "delicious" in Isaan (Northeastern Thai) dialect. And in some context also mean "spicy in a delicious way.". Leng is actually not that expensive dish and more soupy than in the vid. It's pretty famous lately and you can get it cheaper in more local market. The word Leng itself mean the Spine Bone of the Pig usually used for soup based. Leng Zaab is Leng meet "Tom Zaab" which mean sour+spicy soup. The squid-shot thing... TBH even as a Thai woman I dare not eating it eventhough I absolutely love Sashimi. I prefer jumping shrimps which are one of my favorite food of all time but I rarely eat them too. It's quite "Exotic" in the sense that's it's not in everyday life like "Pad Kraprow" or something like that, yes. Almost everything in the vid is quite "exotic" even for us maybe except for Leng. Anyway Thanks for eating and promoting thai food. You people are amazing.
Going to be honest, that live seafood is pretty torturous. I like the content but coating that seafood in seasoning that certainly is painful crossed a line for me. Not to mention the weird squid thing is unnecessary to say the least. I do not approve even though I’m an avid meat eater.
@@lemonslice5yearsand790 not while being bathed in salts and toyed with prior. We are above that, and I find that Asian cultures are much more emotionless towards food than average westerners, and that's fine on its own, but some of their practices are way below acceptable, mainly in lacking respect for the animal that is giving you life, they are very indifferent to the torture that food endures. Don't get me wrong, i live in hypocrisy 100% as a meat eater, it just triggered me in particular it seems. I live in Atlantic Canada where the best lobsters in the world are caught and sold, and i find a death in boiling steam is horrendous. And yes STEAM, which gets hotter than water under pressure, the proper way to cook a lobster is steam boil in a shallow sea watered pot. You will never convince the people from here that stabbing them in the head first to kill them is a good idea, the thought of the lobster feeling pain is not even discussed. So i get it, it's just my thoughts on it, I'm not about cancel culture at all and generally love the content, no holds barred.
I was thinking the same thing. It would be fantastic if all our food felt no pain, but alas, some of it does, and it's important to show at least the bare minimum kindness to the things that sustain us.
@ratherbebaking56 PH they are being killed before we cook them or consume them, we don't toy with them and slather them in bbq sauce and 16 mesh black pepper while they are still conscious or aware.
It is cruel. No offence to non "western" countries but some still participate in unnecessary animal cruelty, such as eating this squid alive, cutting shark fins off and hunting whales.
I'm too uncultured for this stuff, eating alive things is weird ( despite many other creatures doing the same thing). Love the vids despite how uncomfortable some make me feel, the western world ain't the only way.
That squid dish takes exotic to the next level. Usually "exotic" just means the food the local population resorted to have to use as an ingredient and did the best they could with it. This shit was just mean...

might as well eat cooked dog meat than eat something alive.

Sauce recipe?

- Green bird's eye chili
- Garlics (small asian one if you can find)
- Salt
- lime juice
- High quality fish sauce
- A pinch of sugar (palm suger is preferable but plain sugar will do just fine)
- MSG
Mash everything together in mortar by adding salt , garlic and chili first (There is no such thing as "traditional thai seafood sauce exact ingredients quantity")
taste and adjusting salt , lime juice and sugar to suite your taste
it should be sour , salty , spicy , and sweet in order.
if it too dry you can add water
just go slowly.
hope you understand my crappy english and enjoy one of the most OP sauce in existence.

"Zaab/Zabb" is actually pronounced like "Zair'abt" but faster. It mean "delicious" in Isaan (Northeastern Thai) dialect. And in some context also mean "spicy in a delicious way.". Leng is actually not that expensive dish and more soupy than in the vid. It's pretty famous lately and you can get it cheaper in more local market. The word Leng itself mean the Spine Bone of the Pig usually used for soup based. Leng Zaab is Leng meet "Tom Zaab" which mean sour+spicy soup.
The squid-shot thing... TBH even as a Thai woman I dare not eating it eventhough I absolutely love Sashimi. I prefer jumping shrimps which are one of my favorite food of all time but I rarely eat them too. It's quite "Exotic" in the sense that's it's not in everyday life like "Pad Kraprow" or something like that, yes. Almost everything in the vid is quite "exotic" even for us maybe except for Leng.
Anyway Thanks for eating and promoting thai food. You people are amazing.
The first one with the bones looked so amazing and the meat looked so tender!!! The second one looked disgusting and cruel!!!🤮
Going to be honest, that live seafood is pretty torturous. I like the content but coating that seafood in seasoning that certainly is painful crossed a line for me.
Not to mention the weird squid thing is unnecessary to say the least. I do not approve even though I’m an avid meat eater.
Noted.
they were eaten alive in the wild tho.
@@lemonslice5yearsand790 not while being bathed in salts and toyed with prior.
We are above that, and I find that Asian cultures are much more emotionless towards food than average westerners, and that's fine on its own, but some of their practices are way below acceptable, mainly in lacking respect for the animal that is giving you life, they are very indifferent to the torture that food endures.
Don't get me wrong, i live in hypocrisy 100% as a meat eater, it just triggered me in particular it seems. I live in Atlantic Canada where the best lobsters in the world are caught and sold, and i find a death in boiling steam is horrendous.
And yes STEAM, which gets hotter than water under pressure, the proper way to cook a lobster is steam boil in a shallow sea watered pot.
You will never convince the people from here that stabbing them in the head first to kill them is a good idea, the thought of the lobster feeling pain is not even discussed. So i get it, it's just my thoughts on it, I'm not about cancel culture at all and generally love the content, no holds barred.
I was thinking the same thing. It would be fantastic if all our food felt no pain, but alas, some of it does, and it's important to show at least the bare minimum kindness to the things that sustain us.
@ratherbebaking56 PH they are being killed before we cook them or consume them, we don't toy with them and slather them in bbq sauce and 16 mesh black pepper while they are still conscious or aware.
Wow... !!! My best friend, Wonderful upload! Keep it up! +thumb up3!
1:47 why the food look like some type of beautiful waterfall ❤️❤️❤️☺️

Your videos never disappoint me awesome buddy!
6:30 -> "The shrimp are super fresh"... yeah no shit, they're literally alive 😆
The squid eating part is really sad, poor squids 🐙 😢
Cry baby.
there is no way i would eat a live squid like that, seems...cruel
If it doesn’t make you sick then go ahead
It is cruel. No offence to non "western" countries but some still participate in unnecessary animal cruelty, such as eating this squid alive, cutting shark fins off and hunting whales.
I'm too uncultured for this stuff, eating alive things is weird ( despite many other creatures doing the same thing). Love the vids despite how uncomfortable some make me feel, the western world ain't the only way.
They only started eating squid like that a year ago, it’s a new for them too and some locals don’t like the practice as it’s mostly for tourists
Probably because squid are one of the most intelligent creatures and they defiantly felt the pain.
EATING MORE CHILLIES THAN @MARK WEIENS🤣🤣🤣i just love the way you make videos man.like you make my mouth water,make me laugh.everything in one channel
I love how he eats every thing unlike those tiktok people that don't!!! :)
That squid dish takes exotic to the next level. Usually "exotic" just means the food the local population resorted to have to use as an ingredient and did the best they could with it. This shit was just mean...
I can see the terror on the face of the squid. Atleast kill and cook it first have a little mercy😭
Eating things alive is cruel.
Idc.
Tell that to wolves....or piranhas.
“Alright where’s the bathroom” 😂🤣. That hot sauce is making its way downnnnn.
The south East Asian episodes are my favorite 🤩
