A DAY OF EATING FOOD IN DHAKA, BANGLADESH 🇧🇩

What's up guys, I'm here with Mithal and today we're going to be exploring Dakar and some of the food. Just going to be roaming around trying a few different things, some street food and also some home-cooked food. Without further ado, let's get to the streets of Dakar. So we're now in the place called Tal Tala Market and there's a bunch of food here. We're going to try a few things. I'm going to try the Jali Kebab now, fried with egg white and also vegetables inside. Can also be made with meat if you want it to. A bit of ketchup. There you go, see the inside. Nice and crispy, also soft on the inside. Next up, very popular in Bangladesh, Veg Roll. I always eat these as snacks during the middle of the day. Bit of ketchup. Fried egg, splash of ketchup. Is that potato inside? Yeah. Yeah, pretty good. So I'm just filming inside this juice place now, about to try something. This guy here just came over and recognised me. What's your name? My name is Nigel. I also have a channel. I'm a motovlogger. Do you have vlogs? Nice one. Okay, thank you very much. Fresh watermelon juice. Really, really good. These guys are giving us some shots here. Is it strawberry? This is grape. It's our third shot. I feel like we're at a bar. We're now back in a residential area of Dakar and we're going to go inside Matil's cousin's place here and try some homemade food. Wow, check this out. So we've got some rice, of course, dal and some fresh tomatoes. Very normal to have some fresh tomato or cucumber. Yeah, with some chilies and some red onion. Here we've got some simbhaji. This one, which is aubergine. Yeah. And also some tomatoes and cauliflower. Start with rice. Thanks. And we usually start with a salad and a bhaji. Okay. As you are vegetarian, you only would get vegetables, but this is like the starter. Then usually we have meat at the end. All right. Try some of the aubergine with the rice. How is it? Very nice, good salty taste. Yeah. Even the tomatoes, they're fresh, but they have a different flavor. It has some spices in it. Yeah, some spices. There's chili and salt. This one is called bori. It's only found in the, it's only found in Bangladesh, particularly in the Northern areas where Mathur is from. Normally used in fish curries. It tastes a little bit like stuffing here in the UK. Try some of the simbhaji. The simbhaji is like a combination of both beans and potato. Mix that well while serving, then you will have some. Thank you very much. Yeah, one more is good. Lovely. Yeah, that's great. Mix it in. You can eat anything you want, or you can have on your own. Thank you. Do you like Dhaka? Not so much. You prefer the North? She's from the same area of course. Although the weather is rough there. Rough as in too hot? Yeah, too hot and too cold, both. We can have 40 degrees Celsius, and we can also have 2 degrees Celsius. So there will be like different, like 30 degrees. That's the lowest and highest in Bangladesh. We have been to Lala Khan, and this is one of the coolest places in Bangladesh. All right, so on our way back we picked up a few sweets from the sweet shop, so let's get stuck into these. The red one is laddu. This is called sandesh. This is chom chom. This is also one kind of chom chom. Okay, I'm gonna start with this red one. Spongy, sort of cakey. Next up, some sandesh. Mattel's favourite. No, no, it's good. Yeah, it's good. Don't dare to call it, it's not good. Some chom chom. Oh my god. Is it good? So sweet. Just a ball of diabetes. I'll just try this one first. Not quite as sweet as the other chom chom, but really sweet. Okay, the fifth and final one. Racking up the calories here. Oh my god. That's just like pure sugar. Yeah, like pure sugar water and a ball. That's it. It's our duty making a food vlog to stuff ourselves as much as possible. Let me hold that camera. Of course, you know, use with your own discretion. Pick one or two, don't take five or six, and eat them straight after your dinner. This is called malai nut. A thick, creamy yogurt. It's not actually yogurt. It's like yogurt, but it's not actually yogurt. This is the before process of yogurt. We don't use any yeast. Yeah. To be honest, this one's much milder. It's nowhere near as sweet as those. This is actually like the cream from the milk. Oh yeah, yeah. It's not yogurt actually. Cheers. Cheers. I've got some muri botha, which is like puffed rice with a few spices. It's kind of like rice krispies or a bowl of cereal, and it's pretty soft. Lots of spices involved, and a nice texture. Quite a creamy taste almost. Jeera pani to wash that down. It's basically cumin and water with some other spices. Not sweet, I have to warn you. Here we go. Lo and behold. Here we've got some doi khuska. In there we've got some sev, some cranberries, different spices, and a mix of curd as well. Just an explosion of flavor, I'm sure. Crunchy, sweet, savory, spicy. It confuses your taste buds a little bit. Better make sure you have someone to share this with, otherwise you'll never finish all of them, I guarantee you. This is the last one, and I think this is my fifth. Yeah, it's my fifth. Okay, I'm gonna be so stuffed by the end of this. As you can see, this street is just filled with street food, lining along the road all the way down. I'm not particularly hungry anymore, but I'm still getting through this. Piaji. Some ketchup. Made from dal. Dal and onion. This one? Beguni. Some dosa here. I tried that in my Mumbai street food video. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Some chittoy pitta. Pronunciation is correct. And as you can see, it's a traditional Bangladeshi food with some different dipping sauces slash spices. I'm gonna get some different flavors of each one and give it a try. I'll start with the mild one. Here we go. Just get some sauce on it. Coconut flavor. That one's spicy actually. Yeah. That one's pretty spicy. Some of the green spice. This chili. Chili paste. Chili. Yeah, that's really spicy. With all these sauces. Red one. You can see here the pitta. Darkest red one. Also pretty spicy. It's good though. It's a really mild, simple taste and it's a good snack. Very traditional food. You can see my audience. So after about one or two minutes, all of a sudden I was like, whoa, okay, I need some water. Yeah, after a minute or two, those spices, they really kick in. And if you don't like spicy food, then be careful with some of those sauces because they'll really creep up on you. Nice view of the river here. All right, I'm gonna end the video there. Thank you very much to Mittal for helping show me around some of the interesting places here in Dhaka and hopefully tomorrow I'm gonna keep things together and it won't affect me too badly. We'll find out. Today we're just covering a day of food in Dhaka. This doesn't mean there's everything to see here in this video. There's plenty of meat and fish which I don't eat that you can find here and also plenty of vegetarian street food as I've shown you in this video. Someone else can make a street food video here as well. There's plenty more opportunity for and room for videos here to showcase how amazing Dhaka is for food. Thank you for watching. See you on the next one. Peace.
