Man, you nailed it. I'm Egyptian and I don't believe I have seen this original content anywhere else..everyone goes to same main restaurants but no one went as REAL as this. And without a producer... You should have done all the tour by your own man.
@@smallspace7 Pretty sure his "producer" was informing on him to the police given how frequently they materialized out of thin air when he was around. That or he was calling the cops on Sonny just to make it look like his services were needed. Maybe splitting bribe money with the police? Maybe a little from each column?
@@connorgaskill7653 I suspected the same thing about the first producer. I also suspect that he is being sued by others and that is why he did not want his face on camera. I believe Sonny was just conned by a criminal in the form of a producer.
Let me help 😀 1:47 this is Koskosy not rice, it’s an Egyptian specially-hand-prepared flour, that you can mix with either, sugar or the broth you tried before. 3:00 this is Feter Meshaltet, one of the most famous pastries in Egypt, you can eat it in many ways (Savoury or sweet or even plain) , depends on the ingredients. 6:18 this way of cooking is called Singary, it’s famous in Egypt, specifically Alexandria 8:11 This is Quail, you can eat it stuffed with rice or Cooked inside the rice (Tagine Seman). 8:59 another version of Feter, with a western hit. The guy is saying “Khalas” which means “it’s fine keep the money” as gesture of generosity or kindness, it’s a say that people use in Egypt, but it didn’t really mean that he want to give you the food for free 😀😀 even though, he’d probably won’t take any, if you said you don’t have enough money. 10:58 Egyptian Shawarma (the best ever) in a Syrian bread. I really miss Egyptian food, especially home cooking 🙌🏽 😅
how You come with a big team and a lot of cameras without a permit? Want the government to consider you just a regular tourist? Naturally, they consider you a journalist or film director, and therefore they ask you for a permit It is not correct to advise people not to go to Egypt because of an individual situation or a misunderstanding from you and a lack of respect for the laws of the countries you are going to--Many people take films in Egypt without problems, but they bring one camera
@@كريمدرويش-م6ت you ever watch any of their videos ever? they are a small youtube team.. this is not like some huge production team with massive cameras and crew and team.
You really struck gold! As an Egyptian , this is truly authentic and original content compared to all travel vlogers who did food tours through local middle class guides
Your country looks like a nightmare with very good food. It's too bad Egypt is so terrible to foreigners that were actually looking to give your country a chance at being viewed positively by the world.
@@TingTingalingy not invalidating his experience, but it is definitely not the norm. Tons of foreigners, including my own American husband and brother in law, live in Egypt and enjoy a life there. The government is authoritarian and paranoid but the people are mostly kind and welcoming.
@@drnostalgia1 mostly kind and welcoming citizens doesn't sound like the most ideal citizens, given the history of Egyptians religious law. My cousin is married to an Egyptian he's mostly kind & welcoming. He lives in America, bites Americans as beneath him.. which i don't get, consider Egypt is archaic in so many ways, including the buildings aren't that nice.
I'm not sure why the Egyptian authorities would think any of that footage makes the country look bad, they seem to be doing an excellent job of that themselves. Mind you a reliable local guide seems to be a must, that food just looked so good & I doubt even Egyptian eateries in other countries could reproduce that experience, great video.
the Egyptian authorities are the worst man. they just want to have control over Egypt. There is no freedom of speech or any kinda rights or laws that favor the people (ig there is, if the Egyptian authorities like it). I'm Egyptian btw and I'm sick of how they deal with everything here
maybe the authorities are paid off by the major food vendors hence you only see the same stuff over and over again Bordain did a food tour of Cario and all you saw was the same stuff.
I know I am kind of stating the obvious since this is an additional channel, but you need one of these for every place you visit. Forget the local producer, leave the cameras, lights and big gimbals at the hotel and just wander. This made for a fantastic episode. Huge props to the camera ops and editors. Working with (especially color grading) iPhone footage can be cumbersome at best and all of you really knocked it out of the park with limited resources. Awesome job!
I love how they say that you dont make Egypt "look good", BRUH the filming and editing is second to none plus I want to go there now, the food looks amazing!! Great vid Sonny & team!
I like how you reflect even the small details. When you mentioned that you should jump in and be assertive or even aggressive to pick up your food since people can jump in front of you. I am Egyptian and this was my worst part when I was in Egypt buying street food.
@@Nuxehh he is offer fake popular offer that if he havent enough money he can take it without pay 🙃 it called (sailor feast} when some body invite you to eat in his boat far from coast and you cant jump in the water😉
That fish! This is why my favorite places to visit in Egypt are away from Cairo and on the coast. There are seafood restaurants galore with amazing dishes like seafood medley rice (sayyaddiah), and gorgeous fish, shrimp, crab, squid, and more. I'm so glad BEFRS featured that fish, at least.

I keep repeating this one over and over, this is the most original and authentic footage for street egyptian food absolutely brilliant, it's shame it wasn't great time for you
This is the best episode in this series. God I can't help it but think how cool Egypt would have been with the right producer. He ruined everything and he was probably the one telling the police about you to take more money from you.
I was in Egypt last week. The people were money hungry hogs harassing my crew and I got money wherever we went. They demand to take a picture for you as a ‘favor’ then harass you for money afterwards. They will invite you to every store and then overprice you. The culture crap the people are crap and the value is crap
I don't understand why the Egyptian authorities would be embarrassed by this... From what I can see in this video, there is loads of delicious looking food. Friendly people and a quite authentic view of life in Egypt. Nothing to be embarrassed about. They should be proud of what they have to offer 😉
@@sajathebunny2687 any country in the world has dirt ... His country even has a dirt,weed,guns ..... each country has the local and the modern side but it isnt our problem that they wont go there
I dont think this is one of the deleted videos they already shown these I think this video was filmed after what happened to them he mentioned in a video before that he went alone without that producer and had fun filming with trouble i think this is it
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Egypt fortunately I was staying with an Egyptian family. But yeah Cairo can be a bit much to begin with, it’s a sensory overload.
I'm an Egyptian and I'm so happy with ur videos Cause i don't have the chance to visit these local restaurants cause of lack of time Thanks for ur videos sunny and welcome back any time
I really loved this episode. Nitty and Gritty, no translator, just bare bones. Truly the best content I've seen in and this is the secondary channel! Great stuff guys. :)
I love the genuine authentic unscripted, what any tourist may experience when they don't speak the language but always do it with kindness approach. Keep putting out content, ill keep watching

😂😂😂 the pizza guy was saying "khalas" or "you can keep your money" which is basically an act of curtsey known in Egypt, and you respond with something like "shokran" or "Allah yebareklak" which means "God bless you". Then insist on paying 😂😂 Edit: since a lot of people are misunderstanding because either they hate Egyptians or just don't get it because it might seem to anyone like a twisted play and a waste of time: this is a "protocol" that some people still like to work with. It largely used to work in Egypt decades ago, and it still works in smaller communities, where families know each other; in the city however it remains as gesture that no one plays by. Rule of thumb: you won't actually be allowed to keep your money unless the vendor knows you in person, and knows that you are in a financial crisis.
I died when he was like hat el 5amsa when his whole body language was saying no 😭😭😂😂 and Sonny didn’t understand But the guy did not refuse the money he actually said when Sonny gave him the money the first time Ill take it “ later after giving him the food” he didn’t want to be paid before that ..
I had a feeling that's what he was saying. He had a genuine smile and ease in his tone. He could only be saying one thing "it's on the house" so to speak
I’m pregnant with my second and for some reason, this kid has been wanting me to eat middle eastern food. Iftar food has been making me drool… but now it’s Egyptian street food! This episode was great! Thank you for sharing your adventure!
I am not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but the whole "tahini is like some kind of hummus" thing... Hummus is mushed chickpeas (or other legumes) WITH tahini. The reason hummus tastes like hummus is primarily due to the tahini. Saying tahini tastes like humus is as if you'd say coffee tastes like latte... ;)
@UCL8M9SmMo75Wr3hwmUk9Vdg It has to be seasoned, bro, you can't use it straight from the jar. Add salt, cumin, white vinegar, half a lemon, one clove of garlic and some water. Start with the vinegar and stir well until it kinda clumps up and dries a bit, then add the rest of the seasoning and add water until it reaches the preferred consistency.

This was by far my favorite video off of Egyptian video series! I love seeing the real day to day scenery, interaction with people. Great stuff, thank you!!
ironically this episode is the best one out of the series , low production value just someone going from one random restaurant to another that serves what's looks like standard local food . Better than the weird things that do not tell of the average egyptian diet , like the camel meat with tourist guides you did on your main
Man, I am everything but a street food guy.. I actually always eat home or at the best (affordable) restaurants.. BUT... the only place in the world I crave street food is EGYPT!!! I Love you Egypt!! Bahabak ya MISR!! The stret food there is off of this world, specially fish, Kabsa with chicken, Egyptian pizzas, sandwiches (fool, taamiya) etc.. OMG!!
1st thing is called "couscous" كسكس Not grain its something made 2nd thing is called "fteer meshaltet" فطير مشلتت 3th thing is a fish and the way of cooking called (سمك سنجاري ) Sinjari fish 4th the bird that you where holding and was not sure what it is is called "سمان" Quail 5th the thing that you called Egyptian pizza ...its just a fteer meshaltet (check number 2) and have topping 6th the shuwerma usually its beef not lamp
@@thedarkflowkiller cuscus is the raw ingredient, we used to eat it with duck broth @ home, but for street food they do it with sugar & sometimes they top it with fresh cream
@@AbdoTawdy No, he didn't offer the meal for free. He said :"خلاص، هاتي الخمسه، أيوا هاتي" . Means: "enough, give me the 5,yes give it to me". Don't try to make the look like he was giving it for free.
I love how you get out there! The way I learn a different language , it’s alway stem from trying to communicate out in the streets with the real citizens. Your pronunciation is great by the way. 😁
The Egyptian local civilians seem just as one would expect, very friendly & outgoing. 🇪🇬🙂 It's usually the government of any country that gives a bad impression of their people. I was in Tanzania last month and on the first week, the police stopped my local wife and I for going to the beach after sunset.🌅 They only demanded like $20 to avoid the police station, but it was blatant corruption and even my Tanzanian wife who was a law student pointed that out. There were no signs on the beach or anything. They could have just asked us to leave and we would obey. But I get it, people gotta make a living, it's a racket. But the local civilian Tanzanians were so nice and although they weren't rich, were able to produce many products & services that were worth purchasing in the marketplace. I think it takes a certain personality type to pursue positions of power. And some of those personality types are not benign.
This one is my favorite Egypt series video. It'd make a big difference with the right producer, people look so nice. I really like the second channel and this relaxed atmosphere. Sonny also looks happier at this one
Props to you for posting this. This is what the Egyptian people deserve. Everything looks interesting and delicious, and the people are friendly. Hopefully the Egyptian government and the repressive police get the message; they're doing nothing but hurting their own country and countrymen.
Egyptian government is not elected, it is a 100% puppet country, working for some powere in US( connected to Trump) and Israel, they make Egypt as a background for their dirty business, if real Egyptian who rules his country , it would be different
The way you were forced to vlog this content is nostalgic, True raw content and refreshing to see, out of all your videos thus far this is top 3 in my opinion.
Couscous is what was covered with sugar in the beginning I believe...Couscous is a traditional Berber dish of semolina(granules of durum wheat) which is cooked by steaming. It is traditionally served with a meat or vegetable stew spooned over it. Couscous is a staple food throughout the North African cuisines of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania and Libya.
@@jnew2162 naah he didnt steal the bowl. He was given. U can see the vendor hand gesture pushing the cup away when he gave the man. But then the man came back and took the sugar and got yelled at 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Couscous word is arabic and couscous/maftoul/fetouli is also arabic piles made from a certain dough, all back to levant and arabic medieval cookbooks. The couscous recipes in north africa maybe are mainly berber, but some are of arabic origin.
@@void9938 We do not receive scum, but only classy tourists who respect the law and the values of the country. It is forbidden to enter the scum to the great Egypt. No one asked you to come to Egypt. You have a strong grudge against Egypt. If you are disrespectful, do not come to Egypt. Unfortunately, there is no good that comes from the Americans
What you had for breakfast was couscous but with powdered sugar on top :) Couscous is savory in most dishes, but it's a dessert in Egypt, then over time the savory North African variants made it to our menus.
@@amkoraiem I mean it isn't even known or available in Egyptian Streets brother. A person will suffer a lot to find it here, it might *only* be in very specific restaurants.
Very very well done. I love your perseverance, creativity resourcefulness and tenacity. I love that I started out watching your review on the nightmare of traveling to Cairo, I subscribed and now I’m seeing this beautiful food review. Way to balance it out! Keep on keepin on! ❤😊
I am Egyptian and here's a clear description of the food 1:10 "Koskosy" it's white wheat after some process it looks like that, and we eat it like a dessert with sugar powder. Also usually we don't eat it as a breakfast meal. 2:25 "Aesh" it's bread, we have also different types of bread, but this one is the most common and popular in Egypt. 2:50 "Feteer Meshaltet" it's a kind of Egyptian pie/pastry with a lot of ghee and layers. Also usually we eat it with salted chees "Mish" and honey or molasses. We eat it for breakfast but it's a more common breakfast in the countryside. 5:12 "Taameeya" and in coastal cities like Alexandria we say "Falafel". It's one of the most common breakfast meals, also with many other foods in this type of restaurant, like beans "Ful" 6:15 "Samak Sengary" samak=Fish, Sengary refers to the way of cooking as shown in the video. Also, this type of cooking is usually used with "Bory" Mullet fish. Note: usually we eat it with rice or the bread which we referred to it in 2:25 . 8:10 "Semman" it's Quail. 8:25 "Feteer Sharqy" it's the same as in 2:50 but with less ghee and layers. But Stuffed with basic ingredients (Tomato-Pepper-Olive-uncooked omelet eggs) and if you wish you can add any type of meat/chicken/cold cuts or whatever you want. 9:58 "Shawerma Soory" it's a Syrian restaurant, and this sandwich is beef but in the Syrian way, and this bread we call "Aeesh Soory"= Syrian Bread. We have also "Shawerma" in the Egyptian way in some other restaurants.
So many funny bits happening here only Arabs will understand 😂😂😂 especially with the pizza guy And BTW the first truck was kuskus and that wasn’t a thief he was most likely a poor man the guy gave him some food but he took more than he was given and the owner was telling him off
@@pekbekmkek6310 no wise one , cause the owner saw him taking the extra bread and told him “ go , just go” he was upset that the man was greedy but did not refuse to give it to him .
I will never understand how anything you film can be deemed "not beautiful." The overbearing cops are the only reason to not visit Egypt. Everything else seems wonderful!
@@rottingravensblood9106 man this underwound and very old places in Cairo, this are many urban and new generation cities in new cairo, new giza and this is not the tourists destinations anyways, search for the red sea resorts north egypt (luxor & aswan), and tourism destination don't make a judge by one video, Brazil for example is on of the top tourists destinations in the whole world, you can't just shoot the slums there and rate it for tourism
@@SuperSam367 my guy most travelers or vloggers are looking to visit and shoot old aesthetics places. They not interested in new “urban cities” because they already have that in their countries. There’s nothing wrong with shooting old Cairo. Everyone loves to watch simple streets and people.
@@MuStaFa5MoHaMeD Sure habbiby I know everyone have the freedom to shoot whatever he wants and I support Sonny and I love his series in Egypt so much, but again this is not a tourism video for Egypt it can't labeled like this because people will have the very wrong impressions about tourism in Egypt that way, and it's not fair plus not every tourists don't like urban cities that's not true, people go to Tokyo and New York because of it's urban style and they will know the culture too no problem at all

Great episode 👏 As an Egyptian I am very pleased with this , and I apologize for the inconvenience you and your team had suffered in Egypt . But that's not us , just some stupid red tape officials who don't understand hospitality . Ps. The first food you had is called "kos-kos" it is served in Egypt as a dessert , but it is originally from Morocco
Nothing against BEFRS because it's a great channel but this video I think highlights how good some of the solo TH-cam travellers are who don't have a team or on the ground helpers to sort everything for them - it must be ridiculously hard to make some of those videos completely solo
Sonny, it's so good to see that you got to have some good eats and got some footage of it too!! A little silver lining to the whole Egypt experience you were having. Love this "undercover shoot"! 😂 🇪🇬
9:08 HAHAHAHAHAHA I’m dying 😂 the man just offered it for free “it’s not a real offer it’s just an act of kind” and when he sensed that you’re actually believing the offer he was like give me that money right now😂😂
I am sorry for what you had to deal with, but thank you for doing so. This is amazing footage, and you took a big risk. My girlfriend has been wanting to go to Egypt, after watching these videos I do not see that trip happening( she is still pushing for it)
It's not horrible as you might think. I was at the Egyptian museum and at the pyramids last month and everything seemed to be ok with all the foreigners. I was over there with my German friend. The police is just paranoid about shooting...etc and they don't target foreigners specifically ,Egyptians as well.
@@mohamedismael1185 I'm sure having all that equipment that his team needs to carry/have. Along with the walkie talkies that were illgeal. Did not seem to help his or his production with anyone with any kind of power(not knowing what it is, just assuming it was bad), or without power when villages would shake production down, so they could leave. (even though they have paperwork) The people seem nice, it just seems like a large hassle from government, police, etc(in this case, yours seemed much different)
Believe me, everything is fine, there just can be paranoid from the police towards people with a lot of shooting gear, especially him since he had walkie talkies.
This is one of your best videos I've been watching you for a couple years I never make comments but I had do on this 1 it was superb how you did it and the food you found thank you man

1:47 this is Koskosy not rice, it’s an Egyptian specially-hand-prepared flour, that you can mix with either, sugar or the broth you tried before.
3:00 this is Feter Meshaltet, one of the most famous pastries in Egypt, you can eat it in many ways (Savoury or sweet or even plain) , depends on the ingredients.
6:18 this way of cooking is called Singary, it’s famous in Egypt, specifically Alexandria
8:11 This is Quail, you can eat it stuffed with rice or Cooked inside the rice (Tagine Seman).
8:59 another version of Feter, with a western hit.
The guy is saying “Khalas” which means “it’s fine keep the money” as gesture of generosity or kindness, it’s a say that people use in Egypt, but it didn’t really mean that he want to give you the food for free 😀😀 even though, he’d probably won’t take any, if you said you don’t have enough money.

My cousin is married to an Egyptian he's mostly kind & welcoming. He lives in America, bites Americans as beneath him.. which i don't get, consider Egypt is archaic in so many ways, including the buildings aren't that nice.
Get over yourself...
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Sonny and his hard work.., especially during times like these. Bravo Sir 👍👍👍
I'm not sure why the Egyptian authorities would think any of that footage makes the country look bad, they seem to be doing an excellent job of that themselves. Mind you a reliable local guide seems to be a must, that food just looked so good & I doubt even Egyptian eateries in other countries could reproduce that experience, great video.
the Egyptian authorities are the worst man. they just want to have control over Egypt. There is no freedom of speech or any kinda rights or laws that favor the people (ig there is, if the Egyptian authorities like it). I'm Egyptian btw and I'm sick of how they deal with everything here
th-cam.com/video/4YZffky27jM/w-d-xo.html he must follow the rules
Because they’re idiots deprived of any initiative and creativity
maybe the authorities are paid off by the major food vendors hence you only see the same stuff over and over again Bordain did a food tour of Cario and all you saw was the same stuff.
bro the tour guide they had is an idiot. any other tour guide wouldn't let anything happen
probably the best video in the Egypt tour because it was genuine feeling. Had perfect amount of ups and downs
I know I am kind of stating the obvious since this is an additional channel, but you need one of these for every place you visit. Forget the local producer, leave the cameras, lights and big gimbals at the hotel and just wander. This made for a fantastic episode. Huge props to the camera ops and editors. Working with (especially color grading) iPhone footage can be cumbersome at best and all of you really knocked it out of the park with limited resources. Awesome job!
Facts. Actual street food
Yes you could say all this here happened because of Ahmed the Producer 😁🥙🫔🌮
It can be dangerous to not have a local producer. The local producer knows the language/ knows the way around. Although this was a great episode!
I love how they say that you dont make Egypt "look good", BRUH the filming and editing is second to none plus I want to go there now, the food looks amazing!! Great vid Sonny & team!
That fish looked amazing would love to eat that! This episode was nice and laid back and the locals seemed happy to be filmed.
I dont like fish much but that looked delicious
Yes this is my favourite. It calls “zargani “
I like how you reflect even the small details. When you mentioned that you should jump in and be assertive or even aggressive to pick up your food since people can jump in front of you. I am Egyptian and this was my worst part when I was in Egypt buying street food.
if you are egyptian do you know whats happening at 9:00? im curious to know what he said
@@Nuxehh I'm Egyptian And I'm Confused, but what happened at last that he Paid
@@Nuxehh basically he’s telling him to keep his money ey which is an act of courtsey. He should respond by thanking him and insisting to pay 😂
@@Nuxehh he is offer fake popular offer that if he havent enough money he can take it without pay 🙃 it called (sailor feast} when some body invite you to eat in his boat far from coast and you cant jump in the water😉
@@Nuxehh and when he realized that Sonny don't understand him or he may take it literally he told Sonny "give me the five" means the five pounds 😂😂
That fish! This is why my favorite places to visit in Egypt are away from Cairo and on the coast. There are seafood restaurants galore with amazing dishes like seafood medley rice (sayyaddiah), and gorgeous fish, shrimp, crab, squid, and more. I'm so glad BEFRS featured that fish, at least.

Where is this located?
Which city is this in Egypt?
I keep repeating this one over and over, this is the most original and authentic footage for street egyptian food absolutely brilliant, it's shame it wasn't great time for you
This is the best episode in this series. God I can't help it but think how cool Egypt would have been with the right producer. He ruined everything and he was probably the one telling the police about you to take more money from you.
thought of the same exact thing... the producer was double dealing
The producer was definitely cheating him in every single step of his trip. The police are full of shit though with or without a scammer tour guide.
Yes, it was have been great with the right producer or without a producer and just the right mentality administration.
Watching this guy in Ramadan is another level of fun
@@sef_halabi egypt has no rules , that is as cool as it gets lol
I was in Egypt in 2008 and I loved everything about it . The people were so warm and friendly and the food was amazing !
I was in Egypt last week. The people were money hungry hogs harassing my crew and I got money wherever we went. They demand to take a picture for you as a ‘favor’ then harass you for money afterwards. They will invite you to every store and then overprice you. The culture crap the people are crap and the value is crap
I don't understand why the Egyptian authorities would be embarrassed by this...
From what I can see in this video, there is loads of delicious looking food. Friendly people and a quite authentic view of life in Egypt.
Nothing to be embarrassed about. They should be proud of what they have to offer 😉
They're embarrassed by the dirt
@@sajathebunny2687 any country in the world has dirt ... His country even has a dirt,weed,guns ..... each country has the local and the modern side but it isnt our problem that they wont go there
They just wanted a bribe..
I dont think this is one of the deleted videos they already shown these
I think this video was filmed after what happened to them he mentioned in a video before that he went alone without that producer and had fun filming with trouble i think this is it
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Egypt fortunately I was staying with an Egyptian family. But yeah Cairo can be a bit much to begin with, it’s a sensory overload.
I'm an Egyptian and I'm so happy with ur videos
Cause i don't have the chance to visit these local restaurants cause of lack of time
Thanks for ur videos sunny and welcome back any time
I really loved this episode. Nitty and Gritty, no translator, just bare bones. Truly the best content I've seen in and this is the secondary channel! Great stuff guys. :)
I love the genuine authentic unscripted, what any tourist may experience when they don't speak the language but always do it with kindness approach. Keep putting out content, ill keep watching
Yes!
Egyptian shawarma! One of the best shawarmas I've ever tasted! I would also never forget our trip to SIwa Oasis, Sahara
where I drank the best tea in the world: the Siwa tea!

glad you had fun :)
The Egyptian people are generous and welcome guests
😂😂😂 the pizza guy was saying "khalas" or "you can keep your money" which is basically an act of curtsey known in Egypt, and you respond with something like "shokran" or "Allah yebareklak" which means "God bless you". Then insist on paying 😂😂
Edit: since a lot of people are misunderstanding because either they hate Egyptians or just don't get it because it might seem to anyone like a twisted play and a waste of time: this is a "protocol" that some people still like to work with. It largely used to work in Egypt decades ago, and it still works in smaller communities, where families know each other; in the city however it remains as gesture that no one plays by. Rule of thumb: you won't actually be allowed to keep your money unless the vendor knows you in person, and knows that you are in a financial crisis.
I died when he was like hat el 5amsa when his whole body language was saying no 😭😭😂😂 and Sonny didn’t understand
But the guy did not refuse the money he actually said when Sonny gave him the money the first time Ill take it “ later after giving him the food” he didn’t want to be paid before that ..
I had a feeling that's what he was saying. He had a genuine smile and ease in his tone. He could only be saying one thing "it's on the house" so to speak
Interesting to know that
@@Bella_aN don’t worry I’m sure u never here it there haha
💕😂
i’m Egyptian and i love this soooo muchhh i love those streets and it’s kind people
The first item you had was Koskosi, you might know it as Koskos, basically corn wheat, but in larger grains
Was just about to say the same.
And I kept asking my self I have never seen such a dish in Egypt 🤣
TRUTHth-cam.com/video/_MFG2Bns6aI/w-d-xo.html 😱
@@smallspace7 better refresh your memory cooking one before we breakfast 😋😁
Screaming at the screen “it’s not rice”
"Not a pigeon not a chicken" That was a Coturnix Quail! Very popular to raise! Cheap, small footprint, very quick to meat! I love them!
Love this show. Get to see how the world eats and interacts!
Yes , we are hungry for more 🥙
I’m pregnant with my second and for some reason, this kid has been wanting me to eat middle eastern food. Iftar food has been making me drool… but now it’s Egyptian street food! This episode was great! Thank you for sharing your adventure!
I am not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but the whole "tahini is like some kind of hummus" thing... Hummus is mushed chickpeas (or other legumes) WITH tahini. The reason hummus tastes like hummus is primarily due to the tahini. Saying tahini tastes like humus is as if you'd say coffee tastes like latte... ;)
@UCL8M9SmMo75Wr3hwmUk9Vdg
It has to be seasoned, bro, you can't use it straight from the jar. Add salt, cumin, white vinegar, half a lemon, one clove of garlic and some water.
Start with the vinegar and stir well until it kinda clumps up and dries a bit, then add the rest of the seasoning and add water until it reaches the preferred consistency.

This has to be my favorite episode out of the Egypt series. Stunning
Iam crying while watching the video ty so much that u showing the beauty of Egypt and how friendly are the Egyptians love egypt so much ❤
😂😂 The guy who had you holding the different items he stocks was a whole vibe especially considering the experience you had in the country
Definitely my favorite Egypt video
Kudos to you for keeping it humorous, classy, respectful, and professional throughout this ordeal. Much respect! 💞
My favorite of the egypt episode so far, felt much less stressful than the previous Egypt vids. Kudos to Sommy and his team.
Gorgeous filming i am egyptian and i am very impressed by your show about egypt Street food well done.
This is TH-cam GOLD! Real people doing real things within their lives. Thanks Sonny Most of us would never see these places
ironically this episode is the best one out of the series , low production value just someone going from one random restaurant to another that serves what's looks like standard local food .
Better than the weird things that do not tell of the average egyptian diet , like the camel meat with tourist guides you did on your main
TRUTHth-cam.com/video/_MFG2Bns6aI/w-d-xo.html 😱
I think this is the episode after Sonny fired his useless local producer
so moral of the story when in EGYPT ditch the expensive equipment and vlog like some teenager making tiktok videos
Totally agree!
Yep I agree great footage, deffo has a great edge to it
Man, I am everything but a street food guy.. I actually always eat home or at the best (affordable) restaurants.. BUT... the only place in the world I crave street food is EGYPT!!! I Love you Egypt!! Bahabak ya MISR!! The stret food there is off of this world, specially fish, Kabsa with chicken, Egyptian pizzas, sandwiches (fool, taamiya) etc.. OMG!!
I feel compelled to say " thank you Sonny for sharing! I live these experiences through you! You find the beauty everywhere you go.
As an Egyptian I'm enjoying this vedio so much 🤩
1st thing is called "couscous" كسكس
Not grain its something made
2nd thing is called "fteer meshaltet" فطير مشلتت
3th thing is a fish and the way of cooking called (سمك سنجاري ) Sinjari fish
4th the bird that you where holding and was not sure what it is is called "سمان" Quail
5th the thing that you called Egyptian pizza ...its just a fteer meshaltet (check number 2) and have topping
6th the shuwerma usually its beef not lamp
1st is not necesseraly couscous i think. Couscous is typically dinner with vegetables or meat. This is just semolina with sugar isnt it ? :)
The guy at 9:04, do you know what he's saying? I speak a little Arabic and I think I hear "no no/enough. That's five, give me." but I am not sure
@@thedarkflowkiller cuscus is the raw ingredient, we used to eat it with duck broth @ home, but for street food they do it with sugar & sometimes they top it with fresh cream
@@xcicada he was offering to him not to pay (خلاص)
@@AbdoTawdy No, he didn't offer the meal for free. He said :"خلاص، هاتي الخمسه، أيوا هاتي" . Means: "enough, give me the 5,yes give it to me". Don't try to make the look like he was giving it for free.
The first dish is cuscus
The second is Egyptian pie, similar to Indian naan
The bird is a quail
سمان يعنى؟؟..
Naan?
This is my fave episode from your Egypt series. You should do this type of video more. Just explore and lost in translation.
I love how friendly the people are and so animated in front of camera
Just shows how it is the people that make a country, but it’s the government that defines it.
Yep @Dace Wilkinson
Police and Government*
Facts
I salute your resolve. The hurdles you're willing to traverse to show your love for food is undeniable. 🤙♥️🇵🇭
I love how you get out there! The way I learn a different language , it’s alway stem from trying to communicate out in the streets with the real citizens. Your pronunciation is great by the way. 😁
TRUTHth-cam.com/video/_MFG2Bns6aI/w-d-xo.html 😱
Yup! Street food in Egypt is the bomb. I was lucky i had some locals show me around
The Egyptian local civilians seem just as one would expect, very friendly & outgoing.
🇪🇬🙂
It's usually the government of any country that gives a bad impression of their people. I was in Tanzania last month and on the first week, the police stopped my local wife and I for going to the beach after sunset.🌅
They only demanded like $20 to avoid the police station, but it was blatant corruption and even my Tanzanian wife who was a law student pointed that out.
There were no signs on the beach or anything. They could have just asked us to leave and we would obey. But I get it, people gotta make a living, it's a racket. But the local civilian Tanzanians were so nice and although they weren't rich, were able to produce many products & services that were worth purchasing in the marketplace.
I think it takes a certain personality type to pursue positions of power. And some of those personality types are not benign.
you dont realize how bad the government is in there.
Love Egypt and it's culture! Egyptian shawerma is the best.
And fish is so delicious 🤤😋❤
I love this channel so much, it just makes me want to travel around the world just to eat and come back 😂.
TRUTHth-cam.com/video/_MFG2Bns6aI/w-d-xo.html 😱

Best episode of the series. Authentic and a down to earth vibe in the whole video
This is the sort of video, I really hoped for to get from your trip. Thank you for not giving up. The authorities made a big mistake.
This one is my favorite Egypt series video. It'd make a big difference with the right producer, people look so nice. I really like the second channel and this relaxed atmosphere. Sonny also looks happier at this one
Props to you for posting this. This is what the Egyptian people deserve. Everything looks interesting and delicious, and the people are friendly.
Hopefully the Egyptian government and the repressive police get the message; they're doing nothing but hurting their own country and countrymen.
Egyptian government is not elected, it is a 100% puppet country, working for some powere in US( connected to Trump) and Israel, they make Egypt as a background for their dirty business, if real Egyptian who rules his country , it would be different
Thanks man. Appreciate your comment alot.
The way you were forced to vlog this content is nostalgic, True raw content and refreshing to see, out of all your videos thus far this is top 3 in my opinion.
Couscous is what was covered with sugar in the beginning I believe...Couscous is a traditional Berber dish of semolina(granules of durum wheat) which is cooked by steaming. It is traditionally served with a meat or vegetable stew spooned over it. Couscous is a staple food throughout the North African cuisines of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania and Libya.
Thank you for identifying this. I was really interested. It’s a shame that guy came and stole a bowl right in front of the camera though.
Cous cous is round.
@@jnew2162 🤣🤣🤣
@@jnew2162 naah he didnt steal the bowl. He was given. U can see the vendor hand gesture pushing the cup away when he gave the man. But then the man came back and took the sugar and got yelled at 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Couscous word is arabic and couscous/maftoul/fetouli is also arabic piles made from a certain dough, all back to levant and arabic medieval cookbooks. The couscous recipes in north africa maybe are mainly berber, but some are of arabic origin.
i'm sorry for any bad experience you have lived in Egypt and i'm glad that people make your stay in here warm and comfy
Egyptians are awesome, full of life, amazing food.
I agree.the best episode I've seen so far.i love clandestine filming
Never change Sonny - You're a treasure !
This video is amazing! The camera work/editing, the host. It was a pure joy to watch. More like this if the location calls for it.

What you had for breakfast was couscous but with powdered sugar on top :) Couscous is savory in most dishes, but it's a dessert in Egypt, then over time the savory North African variants made it to our menus.
That was not Couscous. It was only the semolina which is a part of the ingredients that makes the "final" Couscous
@@farid.elgh. I couldn't tell the difference tbh 😄
This isn't true, in Egypt people only have the Egyptian dessert. The other regional variant isn't popular at all.
@@tanreader9470 I didn't say it was popular
@@amkoraiem I mean it isn't even known or available in Egyptian Streets brother. A person will suffer a lot to find it here, it might *only* be in very specific restaurants.
Very very well done. I love your perseverance, creativity resourcefulness and tenacity. I love that I started out watching your review on the nightmare of traveling to Cairo, I subscribed and now I’m seeing this beautiful food review. Way to balance it out! Keep on keepin on! ❤😊
food in Egypt is very unique 🤤😋🥰
I am Egyptian and here's a clear description of the food
1:10 "Koskosy" it's white wheat after some process it looks like that, and we eat it like a dessert with sugar powder. Also usually we don't eat it as a breakfast meal.
2:25 "Aesh" it's bread, we have also different types of bread, but this one is the most common and popular in Egypt.
2:50 "Feteer Meshaltet" it's a kind of Egyptian pie/pastry with a lot of ghee and layers. Also usually we eat it with salted chees "Mish" and honey or molasses. We eat it for breakfast but it's a more common breakfast in the countryside.
5:12 "Taameeya" and in coastal cities like Alexandria we say "Falafel". It's one of the most common breakfast meals, also with many other foods in this type of restaurant, like beans "Ful"
6:15 "Samak Sengary" samak=Fish, Sengary refers to the way of cooking as shown in the video. Also, this type of cooking is usually used with "Bory" Mullet fish. Note: usually we eat it with rice or the bread which we referred to it in 2:25 .
8:10 "Semman" it's Quail.
8:25 "Feteer Sharqy" it's the same as in 2:50 but with less ghee and layers. But Stuffed with basic ingredients (Tomato-Pepper-Olive-uncooked omelet eggs) and if you wish you can add any type of meat/chicken/cold cuts or whatever you want.
9:58 "Shawerma Soory" it's a Syrian restaurant, and this sandwich is beef but in the Syrian way, and this bread we call "Aeesh Soory"= Syrian Bread. We have also "Shawerma" in the Egyptian way in some other restaurants.
مصر عظيمة جدا واسعارها حلوة

so happy you got lucky this time, ty for that insight in aegypt streetfood. Stay safe!
If you dont like this video:youre not a human!cause this guy invested thousands in this video! Good work 🤩
He invested more than 100k bucks on his trip to this country alone.
this is a great low key video. love it and the food looks simple and yummy.
So many funny bits happening here only Arabs will understand 😂😂😂 especially with the pizza guy
And BTW the first truck was kuskus and that wasn’t a thief he was most likely a poor man the guy gave him some food but he took more than he was given and the owner was telling him off
how do you call somebody somebody that takes more than you wanted to give him?
i think thief is kinda accurate.
@@pekbekmkek6310 he look like especial need condition.
@@ironpharaoh8386 sure he is and i would not care if he would steal food from me.
still a thief though eheheh.

It’s called Kouskous.
The sweet rice-like thingy with granulated sugar on top.
great stuff sonny love your work bro 💓
I will never understand how anything you film can be deemed "not beautiful." The overbearing cops are the only reason to not visit Egypt. Everything else seems wonderful!
@@rottingravensblood9106 man this underwound and very old places in Cairo, this are many urban and new generation cities in new cairo, new giza and this is not the tourists destinations anyways, search for the red sea resorts north egypt (luxor & aswan), and tourism destination don't make a judge by one video, Brazil for example is on of the top tourists destinations in the whole world, you can't just shoot the slums there and rate it for tourism
@@SuperSam367 my guy most travelers or vloggers are looking to visit and shoot old aesthetics places. They not interested in new “urban cities” because they already have that in their countries. There’s nothing wrong with shooting old Cairo. Everyone loves to watch simple streets and people.
@@MuStaFa5MoHaMeD Sure habbiby I know everyone have the freedom to shoot whatever he wants and I support Sonny and I love his series in Egypt so much, but again this is not a tourism video for Egypt it can't labeled like this because people will have the very wrong impressions about tourism in Egypt that way, and it's not fair plus not every tourists don't like urban cities that's not true, people go to Tokyo and New York because of it's urban style and they will know the culture too no problem at all
how You come with a big team and a lot of cameras without a permit? Want the government to consider you just a regular tourist? Naturally, they consider you a journalist
or film director, and therefore they ask you for a permit It is not correct to advise people not to go to Egypt because of an individual situation or a misunderstanding
from you and a lack of respect for the laws of the countries you are going to--Many people take films in Egypt without problems, but they bring one camera
@@كريمدرويش-م6ت He HAD all the right permits! It's just that the police acted like assholes and impounded his equipment upon arrival.
The people energy is pretty positive in your vids
Great episode 👏
As an Egyptian I am very pleased with this , and I apologize for the inconvenience you and your team had suffered in Egypt .
But that's not us , just some stupid red tape officials who don't understand hospitality .
Ps. The first food you had is called "kos-kos" it is served in Egypt as a dessert , but it is originally from Morocco
With all the obstacles, still able to produce superb production!... lively too... thanks!!!
Nothing against BEFRS because it's a great channel but this video I think highlights how good some of the solo TH-cam travellers are who don't have a team or on the ground helpers to sort everything for them - it must be ridiculously hard to make some of those videos completely solo

Sonny started out solo...
Sonny, it's so good to see that you got to have some good eats and got some footage of it too!! A little silver lining to the whole Egypt experience you were having. Love this "undercover shoot"! 😂 🇪🇬
I am starting to suspect that he thinks Cairo is the worst place to record in.. 😆
i’ve just recently started watching sonny and now i can’t stop lol
9:08 HAHAHAHAHAHA I’m dying 😂 the man just offered it for free “it’s not a real offer it’s just an act of kind” and when he sensed that you’re actually believing the offer he was like give me that money right now😂😂
Yes another video again ..... welcome to you in egypt for ever 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am sorry for what you had to deal with, but thank you for doing so. This is amazing footage, and you took a big risk. My girlfriend has been wanting to go to Egypt, after watching these videos I do not see that trip happening( she is still pushing for it)
It's not horrible as you might think.
I was at the Egyptian museum and at the pyramids last month and everything seemed to be ok with all the foreigners. I was over there with my German friend.
The police is just paranoid about shooting...etc and they don't target foreigners specifically ,Egyptians as well.
@@mohamedismael1185 I'm sure having all that equipment that his team needs to carry/have. Along with the walkie talkies that were illgeal. Did not seem to help his or his production with anyone with any kind of power(not knowing what it is, just assuming it was bad), or without power when villages would shake production down, so they could leave. (even though they have paperwork) The people seem nice, it just seems like a large hassle from government, police, etc(in this case, yours seemed much different)
Believe me, everything is fine, there just can be paranoid from the police towards people with a lot of shooting gear, especially him since he had walkie talkies.
Egypt is awesome you should definitely come!🤎
