Okay. Yeah. The whole thing? Yeah. It's almost like strawberries with chocolate. Yeah. They drizzle chocolate, you know the chocolate, basically chocolate fondue, when they put the strawberry in, and it gets hard really fast. That was the same thing. That was freaking crazy. That was the best. Yeah, you do it like this, look. You see? Hamburger. Good? Very good. Creamy. Delicious. You know the dates from Israel or Palestine? This is cashew fruit. It's different. Different. Yeah. It's like a sponge. Yes, very spongy. You have to try the caipirinha, which is the Brazilian national drink, with this flavor. Oh my god. I love how they have the cashew on top, man. The cashew's amazing. That's actually the Brazilian nuts, right? Yeah. So they roast it, and that's how it comes from. Mango, my favorite fruit of all time. The national fruit of India. Also in Miami, I have a bunch of mango trees in my parents' house. That's from Bahia. Oh yeah. That's all I do. I just start sucking. Yeah, I love it. Just take it off the skin, the flesh. Wow. If you don't live in the tropics and you don't get fruit, you will die here. This is too good. Because I'm from Miami, so I eat a lot of this. Yeah. But most people don't have fruit like this, you know, year-round. And this one is from Bahia. In the north. In the north, yeah. It's a big country. Yeah. Alright, passion fruit. Delicious. Oh, that's the best. Just straight seeds. Wow. What else? So this is another passion fruit, but this one, it comes from the center of the country, right? Oh, this one's juicier. It's thicker. A lot more in here. You literally stick your tongue in there and just twist it. Australian kiwi. Kiwi. Kiwi yellow. I've never had yellow kiwi. It's similar, but different. A lot more flesh. Wow. Wait, I'm getting too full. My friend. Obrigado. Obrigado. Muito obrigado. My man, where are we going next? Now we are going to the upstairs, where we have the restaurants of the market. And we have more than 10 restaurants in this area here. Again, there's two levels in this market. The first level, obviously you saw all the vendors, you can eat down there, you can drink. But if you go upstairs, there's a section upstairs, so it's like half the market is upstairs on the side. So like a quarter of the market is basically restaurants, right? So we have a lot of restaurants. Wow. So like my friend said, here you have 10 restaurants, Japanese, Brazilian, a big mix of food. But the best part about coming up here is getting the view over the marketplace. You can see it's never ending rows, right? So like easily a dozen, two dozen rows, lots of fruit vendors. You go deeper in, you have everything we just saw over there. You have more of the fish, the poultry, the meats, and that's it, right? What are we doing next? What's up here? I think more food, right? We're hungry. We're still hungry. Yeah. Look at this. Since 1933. That's crazy. It smells amazing actually. So to be honest, I'm not a big tobacco guy. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, but that smell is ridiculous. Wow. I can understand why people are addicted to it. It's just really, really nice and pleasant. Oh my gosh. That is incredible tobacco. It actually looks like sausage. That's why I want to try to do it, but it's not. It's tobacco. Now we are going to try the pastel. Hot fish pastel. What do we have here? Yeah. This is like all the crab cheese, blue cheese, feta cheese, caciocavallo, and ricotta. We have Minas cheese, which is the Brazilian cheese from Minas Gerais state. It's kind of like feta cheese, you know? Parmesan, all upscale cheese, man. So is this one? That's goat cheese, right? Yeah. He's very proud to say that all the production is from Sao Paulo, but the original name of the cheese is from Minas Gerais state. The one that looks the best for me is this one. This is amazing. Wow. It just smells absolutely phenomenal. I don't know how much more I can eat. How about you? You're going to keep eating? This one here, it's like a string one, right? It's called Mozzarella cheese. Yeah. I love it. It's like a shredded cheese, like a long, like, like real shredded cheese. I love the layers. Wow. Not salty. Mozzarella. One little more piece. This is too good. This is like the best. One last bite. Some sugarcane. Okay. He makes it here. He makes it here. He makes sugarcane alcohol. So what happened? It's strong. It's strong. It's fragrant. It's like flowers. Yeah. Sweeter if you want. More sweet. We have with fig. Oh, a fig. Excellent. Okay. He prefer more sour. Yeah. But I have with fig for you. Okay. Yeah. This is similar. I would say this is something on the border with grappa, rakia, similare. A little bit tequila. A little bit. Has a smokiness of tequila. Yes. Oh. Okay. So this is fig cachaça. Okay. So this one just has the figs sitting in it. So it absorbs the flavors of the fig. Oh, this is amazing. It's like a sweet, like almost like a porto. So now we are going to try the Guaraná. It's a Brazilian soft drink made with Guaraná. What's happening? What happened? No, no. When they got tip, they sing something. Oh, you get tip? Okay. Okay. I'm going to tip you. Guaraná. Guaraná is a fruit from Amazon. Yeah, but it says here Antarctica. Antarctica is the name of the brand. Okay. So it's Guaraná, the fruit Antarctica. That's my favorite. So it's like a sparkling soda. Yeah. Yeah. Guaraná, which are like cherries, right? Yeah. Like Brazilian cherries from Amazon. I love them. Delicious. Yeah. Yeah. I prefer this than Coke. I always get Guaraná. You know, I don't drink soda, but this is amazing because this is like, this is like almost like pure straight up, like, you know, frizzy cherries, right? So this is a pastry filled up with a codfish called pastel. It's amazing. And this is a guy's pastel. So how do I do this? Oh my God. It's so hot. Yeah, it's hot. So you have to break here. Okay. So break a piece. Yeah. Oh, okay. So squeeze it. Yeah. Squeeze it. Oh, and then you eat. And you eat, but it's so hot. It's hot. Okay. Here we go. There's no cheese in here. This is like straight up cod with some herbs. It's like broken down cod. They shredded it, right? And they filled it in. Then they, they deep fried it. Super deep fried. Not too oily. I like it. Kind of like chocolate shredded codfish. Look at that. You see it's air pockets throughout. Crispy on the outside, lots of herbs. So my boy said, Hey David, don't be shy. Just throw in some of this, some of these chilies, right? What do you think right there? Yeah, go ahead. Oh, this is phenomenal. I think it's definitely a 10 out of 10 on the codfish. Oh yeah. This is so, guys here, have half. What I like is that it's more dried codfish like we saw in the market, right? Yeah. Very dry and not too salty. I like the herbs, crunch on the outside, the doughy on the inside, also airy. This is like a giant empanada. Way better. Usually in Miami, we have, you know, we have Argentine empanadas, we have Cuban empanadas, Nicaragua, like all Central America, but they're always like either cheese, ham and cheese, beef. But this, Bacalhau, unique. It's basically orange juice mixed with lime, which mixes strawberries, right? Yeah, strawberry and orange. Oh, wow. What a cleanse. Amazing. It's like a strawberry daiquiri with lime juice and like a slight orangey taste. It's more strawberries. I'm exploding. I'm in love with these girls. Let's see the main entrance of the place. Awesome. So right here we have the main entrance of the market. Okay, wow. And that's it, guys. We explored the Central Market of Sao Paulo. What an experience. So amazing. One of my favorite markets in the world. As soon as you walk in, it feels like a, you know, seafood market, meat market, but then you start turning through the different lanes and they sell cheese, salami, endless food. We had a mortadella sandwich. Phenomenal. It's the one dish you have to try in Sao Paulo. Yes, and it was a great experience. One of the best parts, I love it, was the fruit tasting, man. It was amazing. Yeah, the fruit tasting was endless. It was like seven different things. We had fig with strawberry. No, that was date with strawberry. Two kinds of passion. Two kinds of passion. That was the highlight. That was the highlight. Exactly. Then after I went upstairs, we saw a few of the restaurants, 10 restaurants up there. From there you get awesome views over the market. Then we came back down, we tried that drink. What was the drink I tried? You tried the cachaça. Cachaça. And then we had the pastel and the guaraná. And we also had cheese. So we had like endless food. What a day, what an experience. Very diverse. Brazilian food isn't just meat. It is an experience. Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese. I mean, what a mix of cultures here. Guys, if you love this video, please give me a thumbs up. Leave me a comment below. Subscribe to my channel for more awesome travel content.
