Today, we're going to be trying 6 different fried rice dishes
from 6 different countries.
Life Hold It.
I can't see what I'm eating.
Wait, am I even getting the food?
Am I even getting the food?
I got the food, okay.
Wait, this is the one.
There's a Brits flavor.
I'm guessing China.
Actually, I'm going to be more specific.
I'm going to say Southeast China
from my mom's hometown, Guangzhou, Leping.
Oh!
Yeah, gangster.
I called wrong on that.
It's from a place called Yangzhou.
No, it's called Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is not that strong.
Yangzhou fried rice.
The answer is China.
You three are correct.
Chinese cuisines are typically divided with
North eating foods such as dumplings,
and the South eating foods such as
rice noodles and fried rice.
Fast.
This is literally my baseline for what fried rice is.
Yo, Brit.
Ooh, it looks good.
How do you say it looks good, bro?
Are you looking?
I know.
It's pretty good.
It's very like sour, hard.
It's definitely red.
Is it already a guess?
It's already a guess.
It's Korean.
Wait, what did you say?
It's Korean.
Sheldon?
Korea.
It's Korean.
Alright.
You can tell by the kimchi.
Yeah, you can tell by the kimchi.
Thank god I got kimchi.
The Korean cuisine fun fact is that
there are over 200 types of kimchi,
and some of them use even fruits like
oranges, pears, and grapes.
200?
200 types of kimchi.
200 types of kimchi?
Yeah.
I've only tasted one kind of kimchi before,
which is kimchi.
Voila.
Wow, that smells strong.
I smell onions.
I don't smell anything.
I smell basil.
Wait, what is this?
I smell...
Can I get any?
Yeah, you got some.
What the heck?
This is the world's most powerful dish.
We got a little challenging,
but luckily I have Uncle Padre.
I literally had a pineapple.
Edward, you know what it means?
Jamaica.
They don't have pineapples in Jamaica.
Yeah, they do.
Wait, where's the plate?
This is very good.
This is unique.
Uncle Padre, approved.
I actually don't really know where this is from.
I have a certain guess.
3, 2, 1.
Thailand!
You guys are nailing it.
This Thai dish is called khao pad,
and in Thailand, chopsticks are not typically used,
but rather using a spoon and fork to scoop fried rice.
I knew that.
I'm gonna say...
I'm ranking this above Chinese fried rice.
No.
I'm gonna say that right now on this channel,
that this is better than Chinese fried rice.
What's better about it?
It's just...there's basil,
there's like sweetness to it,
it's just so much more flavourful.
I'm gonna say so far,
it goes Chinese top, then Thai,
and then Korean bottom.
It goes Thai, Korean, Chinese.
Really?
There's a lot of elite Chinese fried rices.
The yangzhao chaofan is not one of them.
I'm going for it, guys.
Hold on, wait, wait.
First, let me describe the smell.
Oh shoot, it smells like a barbecue.
Oh my god, this smells like charcoal.
What the heck?
It's so smoky.
Woah, it's very smoky.
It actually looks like I'm in a campfire right now, bro.
Holy crap.
I'm not a big fan of this.
What? Hamal?
It's unique.
Yeah?
It's not great tasting.
There's literally fire in my mouth, bro.
No, this is a fire that's just been put out,
and then you take the logs,
and then you put it in your mouth.
Actually, smelling like a campfire
is actually a very attractive thing.
Luckily, I wore a campfire perfume at work.
No, no, no.
Eww, why would you want to attract him?
What?
I'm gonna do a wild, wild card here, okay?
Yeah.
I'm gonna get Egypt.
Okay, why?
I can make a King Tut Egypt.
This smells like campfire,
because traditionally, it was made with campfire.
So therefore, it must be a place with lots of forests.
Don't say Ontario, bro.
Go say Canada.
Just say Canada.
Brazil.
I would've gone California.
Right, because there's lots of forest fires.
Forest fires, yeah.
Idiot.
This is classic from the outskirts of Australia.
Australia?
Sheldon, if there's Australia fried rice,
that's like saying there's Canadian fried rice.
What the f*** is that?
My uncle Paul, you're telling me.
This is classic Australia, mate.
Alright, what's the thought process?
It's classic Australia campfire.
The dish you have in front of you is called jalak,
and it's found in West African countries
such as Senegal, The Gambia, and Mauritania.
What?
Holy shoot.
Yo, I swear if I wasn't blindfolded, I would've known.
What is this leaf?
This is a rare leaf,
only found in the areas of The Gambia, Senegal, and Mauritania.
Are you sure there's no Australia on there?
There's no Australia on there.
So in African cuisine,
fruits are one of the most eaten foods in Africa,
which makes tomato being a key ingredient in jalak,
making the colour red.
Tomato in this?
Yeah, bro.
It doesn't taste like tomato.
I didn't know tomato, man.
It tastes a lot of spicy.
You guys have no refined taste buds.
Shut the f*** up.
John, if you had refined taste buds,
you wouldn't think it's Australia.
Don't say that.
Uncle Padre may have made one mistake,
however, Uncle Padre don't make a mistake twice in a row.
Wait, why is Uncle Padre Australian all of a sudden?
Uncle Padre Malay.
Ready?
Oh, I know what it is.
Break it.
Yeah, I know exactly what this is.
I smelt it, I know exactly where this is.
I don't know.
Oh, look.
One thing I noticed is that they're using long grain rice,
which narrows it down to certain areas.
Turkey.
In the most culturally appropriate fashion.
Main chicken biryani loonga.
Oh shoot.
Bro, are you guys...
Are you guys serious?
I know this is Afghani.
It's not Afghanistan.
Yes, it is. It's Afghanistan, man.
I watched the news recently.
Really?
Watched the news?
Tells you exactly what fried biryani dish tastes like?
The dish you have in front of you is...
...chicken biryani from...
What did I say?!
Wait...
What did I say?!
So a proper Indian meal has a perfect balance
of six different flavours.
So it's sweet, salty, bitter, sour, astringent, and spicy.
I'll put this above the Korean dish.
I'm sorry, Sam.
I gotta say I'm sorry on my 1%.
Thai, korean, jian cao fan.
Actually, jian cao fan.
Jambalaya.
It's not jambalaya, it's jollof.
Jambalaya.
Jollof, and then chicken biryani.
Guys, just so you know,
the last dish is gonna be worth 2 points, alright?
This is good.
Oh my god.
Okay!
This is good.
Alright, everyone guess.
Guess a country, then name three proteins inside the dish,
alright, for extra points.
I'm gonna guess...
I'm gonna guess Portugal.
Proteins?
I don't have any proteins in my mouth, bro.
I can't guess this.
At least three proteins, bro.
Just give three, bro.
Maybe you'll get it right.
Muscle, clam...
Shrimp.
Alright.
Sheldon?
Two weeks ago.
Spain.
Muscle.
Shrimp.
Oh, sorry.
Yo, bro, if you're gonna copy me, just come...
Just come.
Squid.
Although this dish is found all over the Iberian Peninsula,
it originated from Spain.
So good job, Sheldon.
Nice.
This has a shrimp, which I have in my hand right now.
I had a squid ring.
You had all the things!
I know it comes with a muscle,
even though I never had a muscle.
I have calamari ring.
And then I also...
The correct answer was Spain.
Alright, I'm gonna make it more fun for both of you.
If you guys both get it wrong,
you guys have to take two shots.
Fine.
Wow, that was quick.
This dish is actually called
pela mixta.
Pela mixta.
I might have butchered it, but...
Pela mixta.
Alright, I'm gonna ask you guys which city it originated from,
and whoever gets it right wins the challenge, alright?
The high amount of sea was just Lisbon.
What I learned in Money Heist.
Money Heist.
Madrid.
Sean, you know Madrid's a landlocked city, right?
Alright, you guys do whatever.
When I was in Barcelona, I had this everywhere.
The problem is,
because Barcelona...
is in...
is in a country that was originally not Spain,
I'm gonna have to go with Valencia.
Alright, so...
It's technical, right?
So it's 3 miles off the shore,
it's actually right beside there,
by the little rock over there,
is where the person eventually...
Alright.
So this dish actually originated in Valencia.
What?!
Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm serious.
There's no way you can be...
Holy shoot!
The reason why it originates in Valencia
is because Valencia is next to the water,
and that's why there's a lot of seafood in the dish.
Alright, Sean, here's your victory shot.
How are you not gonna drink with me?
Wait, you lost.
He lost to me!
Go on, it hurts!
Cheers.
I don't think we should do that to Mike, man.
What a tank.
What a warrior, bro.
