It's cheesy nice crunch from the lettuce. This is a wake-you-up kind of breakfast All right, my taste buds are all awake nice smoky flavor from the sausage, too Another thing you should definitely get here is that you got to get a tamale from one of the tamale ladies Spicy beef tamale look at that open it up tender pieces of beef Covered in the sweet scrumptious tamale with green peppers. Oh my gosh Meat is delicious spicy Aromatic honey bit of sweet flavor from the corn and the corn just melts all for a buck fifty Cannot miss you've got to get a tamale when you come here any of the tamale people you see get one from them It's gonna be good They can't do spicy that much I could come down here Every morning of every day and eat like three of these the best tamale I've ever had seriously I'm bringing people now. It's just so like you guys don't think I'm like saying food is good, and it's not good I got like backups now, so you can get you guys like a Verification of my reviews. We're walking around looking for a lot of stuff fast food, and it's literally inside electronic store, so you literally you have to I don't even see it you saw it. Oh my gosh That's the sign you can't even see it unless you really look, but they do have outdoor dining Dinner place isn't open yet, so we're stopping by Kempa kitchen There's something you gotta see that they serve the food is so interesting and also I gotta say everything is very Not that expensive it looks like huge portions for like $10 around so we got a paozi which Chinese is paozi We got a fried beef rib basically anything that has the word special I wanted it of course the meat pie which is their specialty here, and they recommended the beef sausage also This also had a special mark right there, so I got that looks like human beef with chili peppers It's New York Alright, so we've got a variety of dishes in our main event is not even here yet the meat pie and each dish is only About $10. I think the pricing is really good. It's a mantou Or Chinese we call this huajuan because it's kind of a twisty mantou So typically we eat this with soup or they have congee here. Oh wow it's milky Hmm nice buttery like we never put butter in congee before it's not bad So this is paired up with the beef dish the beef and pepper dish in Tibetan food You're gonna find a lot of buns dumplings very meaty dishes This is great So good feel like my throat is being assaulted right now and usually in the time of COVID. It's not a good thing here Oh, it's a very good thing. It's so spicy. They use so many chili peppers the gravy is fantastic Beef is tender 100% get this when you come here. It kind of tastes like the Chinese that's it and it's a ranch all over that spicy chilies with beef slices Such a great earthy flavor. They 100% knock this dish out of the park. You guys gonna suffer. This is really spicy That's good, right You gotta eat the pepper I'm so excited because Jesse and Brian's telling me this is really spicy. Look at this fried rib. Holy crap Look at all that fat that's on here This is so good. First of all, this is a choir dish. If you're not into something really fatty you won't like this That's good It reminds me of the meat I had in Mongolia it's just big chunks of fat and it's so good because they fried it so that there's a little crisp on the ends of the fat I Eat that with some of your buns so juicy That is a meaty Bowser so meaty and they left so much fat in here that you saw the juice erupting from that thing Right. The only thing that thing needs is some hot oil and I have it I brought my new additions two of my new additions of hot oil with me I have the regular hot oil and I have the Japanese crispy chilies This is one that will usually go in soups and noodles Love it. Yeah Flaky crust stuffed with veg and beef Mmm the bottom part is so good. It's soaked up all that great beef broth. That flavor is just explosive I love the veggies. They don't steal the show. They just accent all that great beefy flavor. The dough is not very crusty It's not very flaky. It's kind of like a like a kind of a heavy set dough, but it's so great absorbing all that fantastic juice It's also a celebration dish. So this is a dish that the Tibetan families eat when they're celebrating with their home together They bring out one of these things. I feel like there's a blood sausage in every single culture in the world and Tibetan blood sausage That's really good There's definitely one of the meatiest ones I've ever had you if you're not a fan blood you can try this You don't taste a lot of the blood here. It tastes really big chunks of meat You don't have a lot of the metallic taste that you would With typical blood sausage Even better with hot oil. Today's one of those prime examples where this food is good. It's just better with hot oil Yeah, we'll make a TSA approved and carry on the plane. Plain food is bland already. Hot oil, you're a plain food We're back at the Lhasa fast food place and they're open now Sushi Can we get one chai One chai and beef. This place is really popular though, because we left for like 20 minutes and now it's just full Brian just had a panic attack. What happened? This orange sauce was so spicy. Really? Yeah Taste it again, maybe it's not. No, no, I can't Jessie's gonna try. Okay Wow, that is so spicy. All right, come on. I'll let you guys know it's really spicy for that Why is there fear in your eyes? One is chive and one is chive with beef and right away You can see how thin the skin is. It's like you have dunk plane x-ray vision So you guys said this spicy sauce was really spicy. That was a lot. You guys think I dipped a lot of lye in here? That's delicious Actually, it's really spicy. That's so good. Huh? It's really spicy though, right? No, look at me Am I struggling? I'm struggling to deal with how good that is. But this is so good. I mean it's stuffed with filling And chive is so good. It's just some kind of broth in here though It does taste like a meaty broth. So that's definitely not just like chive sweat or something. That is an amazing Amazing momo. Would you like a momo? Yes, I would in just a moment. This is momo with beef Mmm, oh That is juicy This is a borderline soup dumpling. This is a sushi lapping. Obviously, it's not sushi It just kind of looks like sushi a piece of gluten Tastes like liangpi a little bit like the Xi'an wheat noodle mainly because of the gluten I think it's cold rice noodle wrapped around gluten. It's okay. I feel like it's just spicy not much other flavor Is it spicy? It's all right I would highly highly recommend this if you love dumplings. This is something truly delicious and truly unique So I'm gonna put these on my top five must-try dumplings in New York You see it. Oh, you guys ever had a raper before? Awesome and this place does it really well. Rape a lady. We're in Jackson Heights. You gotta get some Latin food a Raper if you never had it before I first had I didn't even hear about it before I was filming the Great Cheese Hunt with Insider And we had this in Miami and it's so good. The outside is made with corn So in this one particular is fresh corn and this one I got is chicharron dip it in the spicy mayo. I Beg you Please come to Jackson Heights and get this The chicharron one. I feel like today my mind is being progressively blown The momos are so good. And now this this is just beyond Words, like how do you really describe the love the pure unadulterated love you feel for a food item? You can't you can only show it by biting the hell out of it when you bite down that escapes from its meaty imprisonment Then you get that slight crunch from the skin, this is better than what I remember having in Miami Sauce is amazing, but get the chicharron Mmm, that meat is good. I feel like a simple. Mmm Does not do that justice. How good was that? So good. Can we just be honest? You didn't even want to come here. I know But I'm glad we came. How is that your first arepa? My first arepa. Good experience. I Don't know what a golden momo champion is, but I want to eat it. Hi one beef momo, please. Yes. Thank you All right conclusion is every time I eat momo I want more momo, okay, I just want it I think it's bigger than typical dumpling filling. The skin is thin this one The top is a little thick but the bottom is still thin little fat. It defies dumpling physics How so much filling can be held together by such thin skin? Just made our way to Flushing You hear that? Birds instead of uh, you know subway rolling above so you actually hear us talk now Uyghur food Amazing, especially known for their noodles. We're getting a big plate of chicken That's like the most popular Uyghur dish big plate of chicken right here. That's iconic. Oh Oh, cumin with lamb. This is great. Cumin with lamb. So good. Oh Gosh, now this is kind of like the meat naan we had before inside is lamb meat onions Oh, this should be really amazing either this or nong bao rou. Oh, this is really good the samsa the samsa Hello, baby, that is a big plate of chicken We got Mav and Amy joining us for dinner at lunch later Mmm, it's like a Uyghur dumpling inside onions lamb outside Crusty beautiful dip it inside some of that big plate of chicken sauce Hot oil this thing Mmm, I mean this is already good, but need the hot oil. Pearl noodles I've never had these pearl noodles before but Very al dente. It's like little noodle nuts and they have such a great shoot of flavor actually penetrated little tomato-y Spicy cumin lamb always one of my favorites They knocked it out of the park with this one What's really hard to do is try to get the gameyness out of the lamb and this one mission accomplished plus It's so tender. This is the naan and this dough that's soaked into the sauce Like a little pizza. In Chinese we call it simian. We're like death dough. It's very dense So the liquid doesn't get in really easy. That's why when it's soaked into a broth or sauce It's not gonna get soggy easily so far everything I tried is good Now the main event. Biangbiang noodles inside the big plate of chicken. You gotta dip it in the sauce Let the sauce wash over it. Wash away. It's blandness. I call this the never-ending noodle because it's essentially just a couple really long noodles Noodle perfect, chicken flavors on point. Everything just tastes homemade. I think right after the big plate of chicken My favorite is these pearl noodles. I love Indian noodles with a lot of texture, a lot of good chewy texture. This thing just nails at home Dessert time Jesse is a monster. So where you going Jesse? We've just been eating since 10 a.m. I'm proud of you. What are you gonna eat? I don't know. You don't know? I hope you're not eating Tibetan food Love coming home. As always all the places I went to listed down below for you I thank you all so much for watching until we eat again I'll see you later
