On Day 2 (which was actually the same morning we arrived, so it was really our first day in Amman), we didn’t do much other than eat some incredibly delicious Jordanian food. After having a quick breakfast at the hotel, which I showed in the first video, we then took a nap. In the early afternoon, we got started for the day, by having some of the most incredible falafel I’ve ever had in my life, and proceeding to have a few snacks, followed by an amazing Jordanian meal for dinner. Here’s a more details looks at what we did on Day 2 of our Jordan trip.
1:02 Falafel Al-Quds - For our first food stop in Amman we went to a famous place called Falafel Al-Quds, known for serving falafel sandwiches on sesame seed buns. I haven’t had all that much falafel in my life, but these were definitely some of the best falafel I’ve ever had in my life. I had the sesame seed falafel sandwich which came filled with falafel, tomatoes, tahini, chili, and some small spices and seasoning. It was simple but incredibly delicious. Sesame seed bun - 0.75 JD ($1.05)
4:56 Gerard Ice Cream - Next we walked down Rainbow street in Amman, which by the way has some fantastic little Jordanian restaurants and cafe, and stopped off at Gerard ice cream where I tried ar Arabic ice cream which is flavored by Arabic gum. It tastes sort of like a combination of vanilla and caramel. 1.70 JD ($2.39)
6:00 Wild Jordan Cafe - After walking around Amman for a bit and getting some good exercise walking around the hills, we then stopped off at Wild Jordan Cafe to hang out for a bit, drink some coffee and tea, and enjoy the great atmosphere for the cafe and of the Amman Citadel over on the next hill. It’s a really nice cafe in Amman if you’re looking to hang out.
7:26 The Delights Shop - We headed to a certain area of Amman to go to a place called The Delights Shop, known throughout Amman for having incredible dates. While they did have a selection of plain dates, they mostly had a variety of different chocolate covered dates. I had a mint chocolate covered date, which was very sweet and rich and very good. The Delights Shop in Amman is a little high end, but is a good place if you’re looking for chocolate covered dates.
8:30 Al Osrah Restaurant - Along with eating falafel, our Jordanian food local style dinner at Al Osrah restaurant was definitely the highlight of our first full day of exploring and eating in Amman. This local restaurant served all the typical dishes including hummus, moutabel, falafel again, and a dish that I particularly enjoyed - fattet hummus - which is bread that’s soaked until is basically dissolves, and mixed with hummus. While hummus is dense and creamy, the fattet hummus was much lighter and almost had the fluffy consistency of whipped cream. Our meal at Al Osrah was excellent, if you have a chance to eat there when you’re in Amman, the food they serve is wonderful.
13:01 Temriyeh Omar - For our final food stop in Amman, we went to a local spot known as Temriyeh Omar to have a Jordanian dessert called temriyeh, which is a then layer of dough, like a roti, filled with a slice of semolina cake, wrapped up into a little packet, and deep fried to a crisp. Once it’s taken out of the hot oil, it’s then dusted in powdered sugar. It was sweet, but very good.

I love Jordan so much. I'm American and recommend all Americans to visit Jordan. Most hospitable people in the world. Jordan is safe and very tourist freindly. The people are so freindly and kind. Very educated people, great food and wonderful tourist attractions. Petra, Dead Sea, Jordan River, Aqaba and many religious sites for all religions . Jordan has been my favorite vacation spot for the past 6 years. Highly recommended. You will love Jordan.
The food in Jordan is amazing!!
conscious confushous " thank you for This beautiful comment )) jordan love you too))
conscious confushous beatiful comment from a amazing person ! Continue coming every year brother, we love tourists !
Jordan must maintain its clean image at all costs. People are just looking for any reason to hurts its image. A moderate Jordan is imperative for its international standings .
You are more than welcome to come over again and again and again, we love to meet nice and loving people like yourself. Consider it your second home, you will never feel like a stranger there. More likely to love it more by time you make more visits to there. Thank you a lot for your kind words indeed! We will be waiting for you next time (Jordanian-Canadian here)
I love it when his eyes light up after a bite of good food.

Man this really makes me want to visit Jordan again! Incredible country.
This guy is awesome, always smiling and making me smile without me even realizing. God Bless you bro.
I've been to Europe and USA. If you haven't tasted middle eastern food, you'll miss the true meaning of pleasure while eating.
But don't go to Arabic restaurants in the States, they're not as good as Arabic food in the Middle east.
bull dee Yea, What i meant was going to the middle east and taste the food there! :)
@@bulldozer313 😥That's all I have access to. So hoping I get lucky and come across a good one.
I love cooking different cuisines but Jordanian and Middle Eastern food is comfort food to me
@@TheProcrastinator85 Cheers from jordan!
I love Jordanian people they are so nice.....
Have you ever tried the food?
That falafel looks amazing!
+Eater Lucas ?!
Lucas!! Please, do a collab with Mark!
Al Quds Falafel is a childhood favorite .... After moving to the US I learned the secrets to the fluffiest falafel ever
This video really made me miss Jordan!! Muslims really are the most hospitable people

I was interested because Jordan apparently has no homeless, and seeing their food, especially that u can eat delicious without too much meat, and very healthy is sooo awesome!
Why u r so awesome. Thank u so much my friend
Finally, a change of scenery! Looking forward to your food adventure in Middle East countries.
It's amazingly incredible how show us the food of another countries with respect and joy without stereotypes. Well done job keeping that way. Congratulations Mark!
I love Middle Eastern food. The falafal sandwich looks amazing. You have got to try Pickled Turnips...they are the bomb! The hummus, the pita...everything looks so delicious.
I am an American from Hawaii.. And my boyfriend is a Jordanian and he cooks for me.. But I really wanna go to Jordan to eat these delicious foods. Healthier than fat mchdonalds
analibone lanlo i hope you get to visit jordan! -love from jordan

We have the honor to attend
You are welcome
You won't regret it🤩
Ahlan wa salan, the food is fantastic
I love the way his eyes I just pop out of his head with such Joy like he's a little kid opening up a present on Christmas Day! it just never gets old.
"there are so many different dimensions of texture"...poetry my friend :) Thanks for sharing your wonderful life. :)
Yes, indeed-- I was thinking of the same :=)
Mark keeps his eyes open at all times just to savor every moment and never miss a thing! The textures of the different hummus variations is amazing (it even sinks in from the drops of hot sauce!). I believe this food is about combining spices and textures, rather than tastes. There is less different ingredients but more combinations.
Thumbs up!
+Apollo 440 Thank you very much, and that's an awesome explanation - the combinations of dips are fantastic.
Wow ! You never cease to amaze me Mark. A truly fantastic journey of the culinary arts.
My favorite I think was that semolina pastry at the end .
I so admire the support you get from Ying that makes you both a wonderful team.
Cheers folks.
Ying looked quite happy about the to-go box of dates and chocolates. Loved the little grin photobomb over your shoulder. :-)
Best part of video is Ying at 8:24 8-)
^-^
Agree!! She is so cute!! With the funny look.. 😂😂
I wonder when she's going to get here own show?
One of my favorite tours Mark has done!
I love it when Ying pops up randomly with a big smile. She's so cute.
Best advertisement for a touristic country is Mark's visit
Keep doing it man, you are exposing the best thing about people
Your videos just keep getting better and better! Been a subscriber since 3k subscribers and was so happy to see how far you've come! Keep it up can't wait to see you hit a mil!
I traveled a lot years ago, and I just love experiencing new places, so thanks for the videos Mark and Ying. The city looks so densely packed but I love that the buildings are are all the same shade. (I am in Montreal where there is a mix of building types) Your giant bite reminded me of kids, when the sibling says "just one bite" and then takes the biggest one they can! lol.
+Jade Horner-Chinappi Thank you very much Jade, haha just one bite!
Your joyfulness on each bite you get it remained me of children when they try icecream or cake for the very first time!!! God bless you always and your family...I love how your beautiful family company to every trip.
I love being able to hear the excitement of people around you in Arabic at you trying their food and your reaction to it.
I just want to hug you every time you take a bite of food lol
+Esellajessica Thank you, haha, that would be great!
keep doing it bro.. u are exposing the best of the world.
An amazing past few years with your wife, Micah, and the delicious food. Thank you for being such a great host, Mark.
Jordan is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE...this is just part of the food. The scenery is amazing. If any of you visit...go to jerush, go to the dead sea, and go to Petra...and the red sea...also, eat STREET SHAWIRMA. its a must.
8.25 Ying does a videobomb! So funny! She steals the show again! Lol 😄😄😄 5555555. Love it!
The food looks amazing! And the place itself is gorgeous

That outtake at the end was funny as hell..
I simply love your show mate and it's far better than any other food travel show. The HD closeup camera on food ingredients sets your show apart.
Mark and Ying, Awesome!! I got a kick out of Ying poking her head in the background on one scene with a friendly smile and showing that she, too, is enjoying the events! What a great, fantastic installment here, Mark! Be safe, enjoy, and happy vlogging!
+Brent Thompson Thank you very much Brent, appreciate it!
Wow. Amman's videos make me tear up. I have been to all these places when I was 18. Quds falafel place was our lunch place when I was in high school....love 🇯🇴

I've only ever had falafel in a Pita, either in the Middle East or Canada. This looks so good. BTW, thanks for texting the conversations. YOu are an excellent enunciator, but sometimes this old guy misses something. YOu and Yink make an awesome couple. Thanks
Omg the wonderful expression u made with each bite of food, clearly you enjoyed all the delicious meals

I'm British and loved un Jordan for a year! Great food, the best falafel. Lived in Egypt for 4 years and the people are even nicer!
It's good to see you appreciate and enjoy the food.

@@umai21 Perhaps in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

That last meal is cheap (for Jordanian standard ). Jordan will be my destination for eating galore .
His bite at 4:01 killed me. I love the way this man eats, enjoying everything!
Got addicted to watching these videos they are so interesting to watch showing food and culture .. great !
Omg now I want to try all these foods!

+Tab C Thanks!
That olive oil looks stunning! 😻
+Emma Donaldson Hey Emma, that's something that amazed me as well!
And fresh. 😍
Emma Donaldson olive oil is almost in every jordanian dish , I personally drink olive oil , it has humongous benefits! We pick olives from trees grown in our yard and squeeze them freshly .
I miss Jordan so much. There are hardly any travel TH-cam videos about Jordan. Thanks for making these unique videos from the perspective of a traveller.
+Caleb Thank you Caleb!
Watching your videos are like rewards after a loooong day! Thanks for sharing your adventures and take care the both of you 😃

this guy's passion for food is just incredible. was planning on quickly going through the video, ended up watching the whole thing 😄😅
The Jordanian people are hospitable and generous We respect the guest from anywhere in the world

Mark, you should have had Ying sampling the sweets and vlogging about them. :)
+tortaboy yes！！！！!
+tortaboy I agree, is she maybe camera shy? Would love to see more of Ying!
al-Quds means Jerusalem in Arabic
Feras Awaysheh.... yea keep dreaming!!!!... never ever !!!!!! ..... jerusalem for israel for ever.
@@Yiska. ya ya you are the one who dreaming🐸😂
@@malpis4213 read me ...read me... 😃 awletha yahud o a5retha yahud ameen
Yossi Zohar no one is claiming anything , they don’t have to when it’s theirs ! Homes that were taken by force from it’s people ! It’s called al quds never Jerusalem in the hearts of it’s original owners (falastenyeen) , but having the power and the money can be evil and brainwashing . I don’t have anything against jews but we all know that their government is corrupt and it’s killing innocent people and taking things that it’s not theirs, jews were all over the world but they never had a home or a land that it’s theirs , for gods sake they were lost in the desert for years 😂
שרה - Sarah israel became a country yesterday with violence ,power ,money,and killing innocent people and stripping them from their homes. And i get were this is coming from when your parents and your surrounding were telling you lies that you believed!. Did you build the solomons temple there or not yet ?😂 cause that’s going to be a surprise I guess hahahaha , ohhh look world we found the temple so al quds is ours
You have a great demeanor and light lively delivery. Outstanding.
Your videos on Jordan were just fantastic. Blessings.
hahah youre so cute after making the "Bangkok" mistake! Super sweet smile!
+TiaChii Thanks!
what bangkok mistake?
+TiaChii what bankok mistake lol
+Mark Wiens I LOOOOOVE MId-Eastern food! Arabs here in #Seattle tease me about liking what they call "peasant food", haha. I move hummous, and falafel, like mad! Hummous is made best in the Middle East.
+Mark Wiens The present King and Queen of Jordan are reputed to eat at the same places the common folks do. You might run into them.
THAT SEMOLINAAAAAAAAAA * A *
Also everything looks super yum, there's a lot of chickpeas I see :D
This just brings tears to my eyes from complete enjoyment...................how great!
+Dave Bordeaux Thank you very much Dave!
mark is so expressive. his eyes speak volumes.
Who edits the videos? You or Ying? Either way, I always marvel at the superb editing of your video. All the scenes are compiled in a very professional and aesthetically-pleasing way. Keep up the good work, Mark!
+Valentino Graci Hey Valentino, thank you very much, I do the editing, but couldn't do it without Ying's support. Thank you!
+Mark Wiens No, Mark. Thank you!
I now wants falafel😕and Jordan looks amazing, now I want to visit. Mark do they have any great seafood dishes?
maybe in aqaba at South of Jordan
+jackie sandoval Hey Jackie, we did have one meal of seafood while in Jordan, but overall, it's not too common.
jackie sandoval yes they do have seafood dishes , if you want it fresh it will be better eaten in aqaba
Jordan, this city is straight magic!
Mark Weins? You are the BOMB! like seriously... am able to travel the world, and 'taste' different dishes all from my lounge in the UK...you give me a taste of the world and save me money travelling lol thanks dude! awesome job you're doing
OMG i think we were in Jordan at the same time last year!
That falafel sandwich looks so good! The bread is crispy and the falafel is perfect. :)
I have a (the best) falafel recipe on my channel if you want to make it at home! I'm going to Al-Quds on my next trip to Amman.
