Caribbean CHINESE FOOD VS INDIAN FOOD in San Ignacio, Belize!

Today in San Ignacio, Belize, I'm going to be eating Chinese food and we're going to be eating super spicy Indian food. Belizean Chinese food and Belizean Indian food, it's a battle for the ages. Let's start with Belizean Chinese food at Maxim's. So I just talked to the owner, Hilarious, we had to beg him to let us film in here. Oh hello! Hi! How are you guys? Hello! Can I come in? I'm from America. America, yes, I'm from America. I've been to China, I've been to Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xi'an, and Beijing. So I've been to five cities in China. I have to go next time to Chongqing, who connects us. That's right. This is called the wok. This is how they make the best fried rice and noodles in China. Everywhere I've gone, Guyana, Trinidad, Dominica, they always use the wok, that's the real Chinese way. They don't have this. It's not Chinese style, right? This is a monster egg. It's a huge egg with the pork and the different vegetables. It looks so good. Wow! That vegetable gravy on top of the eggs looks so unreal. So you guys are from Canton, right? Yeah. And you're from this area? We're from Taishan. Taishan? Taishan. Somewhere over there in Canton. It's a place I haven't been to, by the way. I haven't been to Hong Kong, I haven't been to Guangzhou. It's like a mega city area. I want to go here. Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Fushan, all this. My boy, the food ranger, he's dominated this. He's destroyed this. We'll go there one day with him. For now, we're going to have some food. Oh, thank you so much, sir. I'll save it for you. Thank you so much. Yes. So that's the owner. He's so kind. He made for me the roasted pork egg foo young. Egg foo young. With roasted pork. With roasted pork, of course. And then over here we have the shrimp chow mein. Chow mein. Oh, nice light. They're so nice. I'm going to get some of this because we are going to two restaurants. I want to get light. I'll have this tomorrow morning as well, man. Little leftovers, right? Get some shrimp here. It's been a while since I've done one of these. Little mukbang. Over here we have the roasted pork egg foo young. Egg foo young. So I'll try this one first because it looks amazing. Super delicious. Oh, my gosh. I love that sauce they add to it. Very moist. Saucy. This is the ultimate pork omelet. So actually it comes from Chinese mainland Guangdong in the Canton region. It comes from the name foo young egg slices. Foo young egg slices. That's what it comes from. So it comes from that, yeah, but it is a derivative from British Chinese and Chinese American as well as Chinese Indonesian as well. It's fantastic. I love, love this dish. You know what it is? It's the amount of textures in there, man. And it's so saucy. That gravy is outstanding. Look at that gravy. Next up we have chow mein, rice noodles. My boy Mark would be proud of me. This is the best thing to do. Mix it. Oh, so oily. I love the sauce they add. It's like a vinaigrette. It's amazing. Outstanding. Outstanding dish. The one thing they can't go wrong with is fried rice and chow mein. You know what it is? China has such a huge influence in the Caribbean. We go to Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad. I mean everywhere. Central America and Latin America, full of Chinese. So Chinese have immigrated over the past, you know, 100 years. Every decade people are moving in and they bring their culture with them, right? Their delicious flavors, the sauces they use, the way they technique when they're cooking, right? Guys, learn how to use chopsticks. So we will make a list eventually. The best Chinese food in the Caribbean. Chinese food makes me so happy. I've been to China twice. Love it. More rico. Too much. Have you had this before? Many times. Yeah, it's very common in the Bay Area and in New York. I've definitely had it a few times as well when I was living there. This is amazing. But it's missing one thing. And that's a David's Vineyard hot sauce. David's Vineyard hot sauce right here, bro. I haven't tried this before. Noodles with David's Vineyard hot sauce. What's the first? It's good, bro. It's so good with it. That pineapple on top of the flavor. That chili, Kashmiri. It's good. I'm going to hold off. We still have Indian food to do. I don't know if I can eat it. I'll try. We're going to try one of the spiciest Indian dishes in Central America. Did you like it? Yeah, it was really good. So good. I'm full. Let's go have some Indian food. It's been a while. You ready? I'm ready for it. Let's go. You're so kind. He's too kind. He calmed us. This guy is too nice. Come eat his food. That roasted pork, egg, food, yum. So good. The sauce plus the chow mein. Fantastic. I wish you and your family prosperity. Thank you so much. Thank you. Let's go. Thank you so much. Bye bye. Thank you. It's time to walk from San Ignacio again. Straight to our restaurant. We went there yesterday. We had a beer because we were like, oh, we're so full. But now, I'm pretty full. I'm still going to eat some Indian food. Yeah. Super spicy. It's actually the spiciest South Indian dish in all of Central America. What I love about this restaurant, besides their amazing menu, they have a lot of lamb, but they have Indian food which is so unique because I guess the owner lives in Zimbabwe and his wife is a South Indian descent. Something like that, right? So he makes Indian dishes. And they have like stools outside. And then they have inside. Want to sit inside? My friend's going to get the lamb burger. And then for me, I'm going to get the very hot, spicy South Indian dish. Beef or pork. What do you think? Beef. Beef it is. And then, I guess, what's the other Indian dish? It could be this one. This one. This one, right? Besides all the Indian dishes, it's all made up of rice and potatoes. Rice always. That's the Indian way. South India is in my hands tonight. And also, I'll take one of the beers. So they have craft beers as well. IPA, Golden Ale, and the coffee style. It's more like, regular people? No, but Floria's. She's like, I'm like, yeah, because now you like me. Gracias. Thank you so much. That's the first craft beer I've ever had. Oh, it's so good. Nice coffee notes. All right. It's good. It's like, extra food. So what do you think? It looks like India, right? Have this here. Enjoy. We had the Chinese food, and now we're going to try super spicy Indian food. Chinese versus Indian food challenge. Who's going to win? So, how spicy can this be? It hits you right away. Nice beef. Oh, got some in there, but lots of chili. Sweat right away. It's like, hot. I'm going to try this. Nice, it's creamier. Here's spicy. It's a different type of vindaloo. You guys don't know. Vindaloo's are sweaty. But I love Indian food, so I'm going to eat it. Only way to really experience the heat level is to continue to eat. Look at the eyes. What in the hell? They told me, dude. How bad am I? Pretty bad. Shake Shack level. Shake Shack spice level. This is hot. Nate, this is insane. Look at this line. Look at this line right now. Look at how bad it is. Wow. You're waiting for us to leave, huh? It starts to hit you in the lips. It's a little hot. How is it? Too hot. Do we need more yogurt? Perfect hot. You know what? That's yogurt. To get the hottest push. Did I say so? It is. All yogurt, bro. I literally felt it in my ears. Can I have a little banana? Yes, please. Literally, I need something to calm me down. Nothing will help you get rid of the heat. Like milk. Always dairy. Holy smokes. You're the best. How's that lamb? So, they put some honey in this yogurt. They put it on the side. Of course, they know you're going to melt. Oh, wow. That is good. It's the only way to survive this. I've had spicy Indian dishes, and that thing might take the cake. The beef is super tender, but the spice level is insane. A little more beef, right? A little more heat. Dang. The beef is worth it. The beef. Yes. You need to eat two more bites. Two more? Yes. Four bites? Beef. It's a challenge. Oh, it's a real challenge? I didn't know it was a challenge. Good. There it is. Yeah. Oh, my God. Melting. It's too hot. It's burgeoning. The whole staff felt so bad for me. They were like, you have to have our locally made rum cake to calm down that heat. I'm so overwhelmed right now with the heat. Rum cake. Nice cake. Oh, it's honey in there. Oh, it's super sugary. Okay. I'm impressed by the day we've been here. Endless bit. It's an endless bit. It's a very painful dish. Spiciest Indian dish I've ever had. I'll tell you, the hospitality at the Chinese restaurant was unreal. The guy literally became my other Chinese dad. So, so kind. Even though we didn't talk in terms of it. I just lost the translation. It was super nice. The food was amazing. This was good too, but personally, this is just way too spicy. I mean, unless you have a death wish, I wouldn't eat that dish. It's too hot. Even I, I'm a spicy guy, but way too hot. And yeah, that's Indian versus Chinese food here in Belize. What do you guys think? Which wins for you?
