INCREDIBLE AUSTRALIAN FOOD Using Native Ingredients at Mabu Mabu | Melbourne Food Guide 🇦🇺

- In this episode, we are showing you guys some incredible Australian food using native ingredients at a small cafe in the inner-western suburb of Melbourne, Australia, called Mabu Mabu. This cafe is very special because it is indigenously owned and operated. The business owner and head chef, Nornie Bero is originally from Torres Strait.
This is one of a kind experience for us and with limited knowledge of indigenous Australian ingredients, we tried our best to describe the unfamiliarity of the flavours and tastes. We hope you guys enjoy this episode. Please give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed the video.

Also, drop us a comment as we love hearing from you!
P.S. Apologies for the loud background noise in this video, we really should've picked the seat outside the cafe (blaming the cold Melbourne weather in the middle of summer!)

Nice looking chicken too. That dessert is a piece of art. Yum! Really enjoyed this episode guys.
Thanks guys!! Yup that dessert looks pretty, doesn’t it. We really enjoyed eating at this cafe, the food exceeded our expectations 👌🏻
All of these eats had us drooling! :O
Must try when visiting Melbourne, Australia! 🥰
Dip that bumper to the sauce yummm 😋
Super yum! 🤤
Yesss chilli on fried chicken🙌🏻 that's how we all need to do it! My highlight i think of course the wattleseed waffle, love poached pear on dessert too 😍😍
Haha that dessert was the big finale of our satisfying meals 😍👌🏻
Great episode guys! So many interesting and unique...not to mention just beautiful looking dishes!
Thanks so much guys for checking out this video. Glad we can share this one for non Aussie viewers too 🥰
Happy Australia Day! Wattleseed hot chocolate sounds really interesting. woooow grilled emu. All the ingredient combinations makes me really want to try Mabu Mabu. Thanks for sharing this place!
Hey guys!! Definitely try Mabu Mabu, many interesting dishes with ingredients we never tried before. This place is definitely a hidden gem 😍
This is really unique and definitely hidden gem! Love to try wattleseed hot chocolate & quandong. I have never heard of quandong 🤣
It is a hidden gem indeed! 😊
We also just heard of it last year.
Thought it was something from China 😅
Thanks again for bringing us with you my friend :)
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Always a pleasure to support your channel :)
This is so interesting to us guys. We've been wanting to try more native food here in the US and it's so hard to find. You have to go to places like Colorado to find it. Glad you guys put this video together. That hot chocolate looks so good. Oooh, native peach? We're sold.
Ah yes it’s also hard to find here but lately it becomes more easier to find and it’s more like a food trend now that cafes are incorporating native ingredients too in their food.
Would love to see native US food too from you one day hopefully 🤗
That fried chicken looks so nice and crispy!
Another dish not to be missed on the menu. Pair it with their housemade hot sauce, delicious! 👌🏻
What a very unique cafe. This is a hidden gem. Emu is one I need to try
Yup it’s definitely a hidden gem! 👍🏻
Fried chicken is always good with everything, those herbs look unique and very aromatic.
That's right! Can't go wrong with fried chicken, goes really well with the hot sauce too 😍
8:08 what a beautiful view...that golden crispy fried chicken..haha my mouth is watering now!
Hahaha yes that golden brown fried chicken is a feast for our eyes, and delicious and super crispy too. Very well cooked! 😍
They used quite exotic food ingredients there. Wow the hibiscus 🌺! I bet it must be very flavorful. Wow Kangaroo 🦘 tail! The gravy looks amazing... So the tail is tender!!!
Yup they use exotic food ingredients at this cafe 👍🏻
I think they use hibiscus in the salad that’s why it’s very aromatic and flowery salad, best salad! Perfect for summer.
They cooked the tail perfectly, looks like it’s slow cooked or pressured cooked or something that makes the meat really tender. Really amazing! 😍
Every dish looks appealing I would love to try
So interesting to see all these ingredients that we've not heard before. Quandong colour is so pretty! looks almost like a fig fruit. Emu fillet, like emu? Omg yes Emu (when you showed the picture)!
Yes emu fillet, from the actual bird 😊
This was our first time trying it too, very unique and lean type of meat.
Hello Great to see you both Again Happy Australian day 26th of Jan. we are a bit late with saying this to you. :( Grilled Emu Fillet looks amazing ..Kangaroo Tail WOW Glenn would love to come to Australia to try all the foods you have tasted . Thanks for sharing Love and Light Sarah and Glenn
Thanks for watching!
Hope you guys can come to Australia one day and try these foods 🙏
We have been enjoying incorporating salt bush in our homecook meal. Very tasty to add to your savoury and meaty dish, gives extra kick and earthy flavour to the dish 👍
PS. When we say Happy Australia Day in this video, it means for two of us to celebrate the diversity in Australia and just to enjoy the public holiday on 26th Jan with our friends and family with good food. We understand that Australia Day has different meanings and views for many people here. We also understand that Australia Day is not a day for celebrations for many First Nations people in this country. Our main intention by sharing this video is we are all becoming aware of how awesome and diverse indigenous ingredients are and use them more in our food.
I am, you are, we are Australian. we are the biggest multicultural country in the world and we are proud to call anyone who lives on our soil a brother/sister.
Haha Gökçe is always grabbing for the sirachi or hot sauce too, things are (usually) never hot enough for her. Some really unique plates at this spot though, really miss Melbourne and it's food scene!
Food is always more exciting if we put something spicy in there, isn’t it? 😆
Hope you can visit Melbourne again soon 🙏
Looks so yummy..enjoy eating
Thank you for watching 🤗
Kangaroo meat is delicious! Now seeing kangaroo tail is very unique - looks a lot like oxtail. And that kind of sauce sounds great to pair with it
Agree! Kangaroo meat is delicious when it’s cooked properly, using the right spices. Some people complain that it’s gamey but it’s probably because not cooked well.
That kangaroo tail is sooo delicious, glad we ordered it! 😍
Wow! Such interesting ingredients that we've never heard of before! It all looked so good though! 😋
It's very interesting, isn't it! Reviewing this restaurant is really outside our comfort zone, so glad we did though :D
Ooo the quangdong granita looks like my kind of drink!
It’s really nice drink especially if you like sour fruit drink 👍🏻
Quandong! Sounds like Guangdong the city! Very nice!! Love the name must be very chill drink
Hahaa yeah that’s what we thought when we first heard it, sounds like a city in China or something but there is no relation to China at all.
Yup it was sweet and sour type of drink 😊
So excited for the uniqueness of the food you guys are going to show us in this video.
Wattleseed, wow, first time even seeing it. Ony that is a great explanation, a bit of taste of coffee but it is hot chocolate.
Wattleseed has a really unique taste! Yup like a combo between chocolate and coffee.
No wonder it pairs well with the latte. 😊
Woooo hot chocolate with coffee flavor in it! Sweet ! Ohh Quandong Granita! It looks like very refreshing smoothie, like Raspberry shake. 😁
Ah yes it does resemble the sourness from raspberry actually. It’s very refreshing drink, like smoothie but without milk 😃
The waffles look so different from the traditional waffles.
The pear looks sweet and delish, whether is the plum or wine lol.
Yes, they have a lot of reasons to be proud. That is awesome, something that I always wanted to do in the US is to experience more of the native food and culture.
Maybe one day!
Thank you guys for teaching us something new
Thanks guys for appreciating native food and culture! We would absolutely love to see you guys experience native food in the US.
Curious to see what you guys have there! ☺
Ony so excited for dessert hehe! Would love to see what you guys cook with the saltbush! I would love to visit this place if I go to Australia, it's SO SO AUSSIE!! Thanks for introducing this place!
Bahahaha yes always excited for dessert, it’s like the finale of TV series, is always anticipated 🤣
We’ve been adding saltbush to our meals if we need to add a touch of saltiness. Salt bush is so unique, it’s like herbs but salty, and it’s got this earthy flavour 😍
Yes, we will definitely take you guys to this place if you ever visit Melbourne, definitely the first spot to recommend for our overseas friends 😃
Whoaaaa Kangaroo tail! You guys didn't let us down, Kangaroo is so Australian! Yes I don't know what damper is haha, thanks for explaining Ony! I'm reading ingredients I've not heard or seen before, like Karkalla and samphire, thanks for all the pictures!
Haha yes kangaroo is so Australian 👌🏻
So glad we are able to share these native Australian ingredients with you guys in this video 🥰
Happy Australia day guys! Well looks like you had an amazing day of eating haha!
Thanks guys!! Haha yeah we had a great day shooting this video and eating delicious food at the same time 😍
Happy Australia day guys! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you guys!! 🥳
We love hibiscus. Had no idea you could try kangaroo! It looks quite good. Didn't know about damper either. That meat does look like oxtail. We can see that.
You guys need to try kangaroo for sure! This meat is actually healthy meat because it’s very lean. That is why it is kinda hard to cook it right 😊
Would love to make it back to australia for Australia day next year, fingers crossed the world re opens. Love the idea of having food based on natural indigenous resources.
Hope you can try these foods with indigenous ingredients one day you visit Australia again 🤗
Never tried Emu before, but from your reaction it seems like we definitely should!
It’s really unique and what we found it is a type of lean meat, so it’s great to build muscle haha 💪🏻
Australia day!!! So nice! Hmmm do we have a America day?? I need to double check so nice!!
Maybe it’s like the 4th July in the US but definitely for different reason and purpose in here. Not like a big celebration or something fancy here, but we just have a public holiday, so it’s always nice to have day off to spend with family and friends 😃
When we do come back we need to try emu... Did the kangaroo burger last time but preferred lamb to be honest. Interesting that it tastes more like beef than chicken wouldn't expect that either.
We didn’t expect it tastes more like beef than chicken either, so interesting!
I would love the chicken and that wattle seed desert looks so good. When we visit Australia, we’ll have to go to this place.
Definitely give this place a try guys when visiting Australia.
It's really one of a kind cafe where we can get food with native Australia ingredients, can't really find other cafe serving such unique food unless we go to fancy fine dining restaurant here 🙂
Happy Australia day guys!!
Thanks guys!!
It's good that you guys treated yourselves with that unique experience! Thanks for introducing those unique dishes! Really enjoyed. 👍
No worries guys! Glad you enjoyed watching this. It’s been a dream for us to show you guys native food in Australia, something that other Aussie vloggers rarely present to their audiences😊
So interesting Wattleseed hot chocolate, with an indescribably yummy flavour! OMG grilled EMU! whaaaat with salt bush and hibiscus sounds so interesting. So many interesting foods on this one tried Kangaroo before and found it a bit tough to eat. So interested to test some of these flavours!
Ah yes kangaroo can be tough to eat, but if the chef knows how to cook it properly, it can be tender and more enjoyable to eat, you just gotta go to the right place to eat it 😊
So cool how they use native ingredients here! First time hearing of wattle seed - some coffee flavor sounds good mixed with hot chocolate
Yup, it’s one of a kind cafe here in Melbourne. Perfect to bring your overseas friends over to introduce Aussie food 😊
bạn làm đồ ăn rất ngon ♥️👍
Happy Australia Day guys!!
Thanks guys! 🥰
I think we would enjoy damper very much! I thought you were going to say that it is similar to cornbread, by the looks of it, that is how it looks.
Kangaroo tail, that has to be so interesting
Ah yes, now you mentioned it, it does look like corn bread because of the yellow colour, only this one is using pumpkin as flavouring.
Without the pumpkin, normally the colour is just white like normal bread.
Happy Australia day guys!! Quandong looks interesting 🙂 emu too! Looks yummy! Ahh never had kangaroo tail, now I want to try 😋❤ fried chicken looks like something I would enjoy hehe.. and the chocolate waffles for sure! Got full watching you eat guys 👍
Thanks guys for watching our video!
Appreciate it 🥰
Yup quandong is very interesting fruit, we didn’t know this exists until last year we heard about it from someone 😄
Kangaroo tail is surprisingly really yummy! Just like the oxtail haha 🤤
i’ve been leaving here in OZ 10+ years and never try OZ native foods before. Thanks for making this video guys!
This cafe is really one of a kind. Love the food, very unique 😊👍🏻
Try it if you have a chance 😍
Thanks for watching!
Wow the chocolate waffles are so pretty!! Its shaped like a leaf!! Its really nice! I wonder they have a mold to make it or must be cut into shape!!
They are so pretty, aren’t they?
I think they do use a mould, it will take ages to cut into shape haha 😊
Kangaroo tail!!! Woww it reminds me of oxtail!! I wonder how it taste!!! Its very unique dish
Haha yeah the taste and texture is so similar to oxtail. Yup definitely a very unique dish, must try 🤗
I thought Emu gonna have strong gammey like lamb😊 I tried kangaroo once but yeah a bit strong gammey for me ahhaa.. but nick like it tho, just preference 😆
Emu is very lean, I initially thought it would be like turkey since it’s a type of bird. But apparently it tastes like a very lean beef 😃
I think with the kangaroo, as long as it’s prepared and cooked well with the right spices, it will taste good 👌🏻
Didn’t realize you can eat an Emu. We just saw one when we went to a local Safari here. And I was surprised that the 🦘 tail was tender. I thought it was going to be tough. Thanks for sharing these unique dishes.
That's cool you guys got to see emu there!
Yup emu meat is quite well known here to be consumed, although it's not as popular as kangaroo, but it is still a must try when in Australia.
Glad we can share this with you guys ☺
Wow!! Those all looked really good. Love how the native ingredients can be so versatile. Also that Emu fillet...I wanna try that so badly 😃
You should definitely try emu meat. Very interesting piece of meat.
Thanks guys for watching :)
Would like to try emu sometime! Curious how it compares to ostrich meat, which is also more beefy and lean
We haven’t tried ostrich, so curious to compare them too. Yes, the meat is like lean beef meat 👍🏻
I hear good things about Kangaroo tail. I think its funny how an animals on the Australian coat of arms are also edible
That kangaroo tail burguignon is really delicious 🤤, must try!
Love your editing wow I subbed to you guys! So much effort!!! What did you edit the video with ?
Hello! 👋 Thanks so much for subscribing!
We edit using Premiere Pro 😊
In Indonesia, the Wattle seed looks like a river tamarind, I don't know if it tastes the same or not .. I just found out, in Australia there are lots of native spices. Thanks to your video.
It doesn’t taste like tamarind at all. It tastes like coffe 😄
Yep we do have a lot of native spices here. Glad we can share some of these to you here in this video 🤗
So many foods you can't find easily here in the US! Hello from NY
Hello there! Thanks so much for checking out our video :)
