- Carbonara's just starch from the water and the pasta.
And then, you create a cream with the pecorino.
- OK chef.
- I love food.
I'll just be eating all the time.
- Pace yourself David.
- I can't. She picked great food.
9 00:00:16,947 --> 00:00:18,400
- What's good you sexy motherf******.
Welcome back to another episode
of Send Foodz on Thrillist.
I'm Tim Chantarangsu.
- And I'm David So.
Slice.
17 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,792 - Got your nose.
19 00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:33,430 - Well, we got some exciting show,
some exciting food for y'all this time
because not only are we eating delicious ass food,
but we also got delicious ass guests.
- Ooh.
- Oh.
- Picking out delicious ass foods for us
because we're gonna get the foods sent
all the way
to us guys.
30 00:00:53,277 --> 00:00:56,984
- And today, we got a very, very special guest
because not only is she killing it on TikTok,
on Instagram, cooking recipes, cheffing it up.
But she also been dating one
of my best friends for like four years.
Make some noise for Twaydabae.
- Hi guys.
- Hi Twaydabae.
- Hello. Hello.
41 00:01:16,282 --> 00:01:17,115 - Welcome.
- Thanks for having me.
- Well, first of all,
I see you are doing your thing on TikTok,
killing it with the recipes.
How'd you start doing that?
- Honestly, I just wanted to create content for IGTV
and then I was like,
I realized that I can just shorten it
and dump it on TikTok.
So I was like, "Here you go, TikTok."
And then, TikTok was like, "Thank you so much."
And then
it went from there.
- Aren't you glad you don't have to be
thotting it up on the 'gram
to get likes?
- Love it. Love it.
- Let me tell you something.
I put up four TikToks,
three of them got taken down.
- Really?
- Because he was thotting it up on TikTok.
- Actually, yes. I was a little nude in one of them.
I didn't know that it's like mainly kids that watch it.
So it got taken down.
I also curse too much.
69 00:01:54,844 --> 00:01:55,880 - They took town a cursy TikTok?
- Yes.
- Really?
- If you even have like a curse word in your captions.
- They take it down.
- They will take it down.
- So it's for harassment and bullying.
- But,
they do a really bad job at like the comment section.
So it's like.
- Yeah. I don't get that.
- It's really weird.
- I got taken down
and then you could appeal to have it removed, right?
And I wrote back, I said, "Excuse me, you dumb bitches.
How dare you!"
And they just get put back.
- All right guys.
So the first place that I picked is called Broken Mouth.
We have the purple rice.
We have the Hawaiian shrimp, the Portuguese sausage
eggs, Spam musubis, all the good stuff.
- This is so good.
Mm mm.
- So how you guys feel about eating the shell?
- Oh, you gotta eat the shell.
- Yes.
I always get comments and they're like
"Why do you eat the shell? It's so nasty."
And it's like, "That's the texture."
- Yeah.
- That's all. That's where all the flavors are at.
- Any my mom told me the shell
has all types of nutrients
that a lot of people don't eat.
So I was like, I don't know
if it makes my fingernails stronger
or my hair shinier or what but.
- Let me tell you something, I love me some garlic shrimp.
- Same.
- I wanna have one of these situations too.
- And, you will want some of that right there.
- Wow, thank you, David.
- Oh, you're welcome.
- That was very like
dad of you.
- It's what I do.
- Yeah. It's the Korean in him.
- I know.
I'm also gonna beat your guys asses later.
120 00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:19,530 - And Tway, you're Vietnamese?
- I am Vietnamese.
123 00:03:21,549 --> 00:03:22,450 - That's crazy.
- Wow. That was really good, David.
- When I was younger.
Well, Sacramento has a huge Vietnamese community.
I used to only date Vietnamese girls
for like the majority of my life.
- Wow. I did not know that.
- My very first girlfriend was Vietnamese,
and I was trying to learn Vietnamese.
So I just picked up a few phrases here and there.
- And what does "Tr]i !i" mean?
- Like, "Oh my heavens. Oh my God."
So every time her, her parents would say to me,
they would be like, "Hey David, long time no see.
(Vietnamese language) motherf*****"
And I'm like, he loves me.
- Yes.
- You know what that means.
- Yes.
- Oh, they use that good egg too.
You could tell by the color of the yolk, nice and golden.
- They're happy eggs.
- I just like. Aw, mine busted already.
Don't you hate when you bust too quick, man?
- Oh man.
I actually enjoy it 'cause I just get,
get done with it real fast.
151 00:04:01,567 --> 00:04:02,720 Was it good for you?
No, well I don't care.
154 00:04:04,726 --> 00:04:05,594 - Goodnight.
156 00:04:06,750 --> 00:04:07,583 - Tway don't have to worry
about that, 'cause let me tell you, Rick.
159 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:11,380 All night.
- I know everything about my best friend.
- Mm-hmm. Everything.
163 00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:16,730 What kind of sausage is this?
- Portuguese.
- Portuguese sausage.
- Bomb. Yeah, yeah.
I like the, I like the sweetness of the longganisa
it's a little spicier.
I just, I just like a good sausage,
to be honest.
- This is like my favorite breakfast thing.
Whenever I go to Hawaii, first thing I get.
They actually serve this in McDonald's in Hawaii.
- Wow.
- Portuguese, eggs and rice.
- For McDonald's, everywhere is just better than here.
- Man.
- Or maybe we just got used to it.
- Yeah. True.
They're like, "Guys, can you believe it?
They have
nuggets out there in America."
184 00:04:44,777 --> 00:04:46,910 "They have these things called cheeseburgers
at McDonald's in America.
It's crazy."
188 00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:52,080 - I think you're gonna love this one.
It is called Night + Market.
This is of course papaya salad.
- Love it.
- I love crab fried rice.
I always get.
If there's an option for crab fried rice, I love it.
Wings. I'm not sure what these wings are.
Tim. Help me out.
- Just look.
Chicken wing.
200 00:05:11,130 --> 00:05:12,423 - What does that mean?
- Pommes frites.
Yeah, I don't know.
- It's like you went from Thai to French.
205 00:05:16,780 --> 00:05:19,255 - And then this one I'm actually not familiar.
So.
- I don't what the f***
this is either, man.
- It looks Japanese actually.
- I, yeah.
- Or it looks Taiwanese. It looks like
the Taiwanese Sesame Noodles almost.
- I feel you, it looks like a little,
little coconut milk on top?
- Maybe. But we 'bout to find the out.
- OK. Well, let's dig in.
218 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,223 - Let me get this.
Tway, I'ma serve you first.
- Thanks dad.
- I'm gonna serve you next right there.
- Thank you, sir.
Oh, healthy serving.
- Oh Tim. I serve you like I serve myself.
226 00:05:43,431 --> 00:05:44,264
- Oh, you're gonna serve all of us?
- Yes.
- You're a nice man.
- Dude, man, don't believe in the rumors, all right,
that I spread myself.
- I know you.
People think you're a dick and an asshole.
But I know you, and you're just a dick.
236 00:05:59,429 --> 00:06:00,370 - No. Not cool.
- You're just a dick.
Let me tell you something guys.
All those stories are true.
241 00:06:06,478 --> 00:06:07,311 - Oh wow.
- Are you a flats or a wing person?
- I am. A flats or a wing?
- Flats are, flats or, flats or a drum.
246 00:06:12,777 --> 00:06:13,610 Don't laugh at me.
- I'm definitely a flats person.
- I'm a flats person too.
Hell yeah. It's way better.
- I like both for different reasons.
- OK. So what are the reasons?
- I like munching on a big old chunk of cartilage.
- Yuck.
- You don't, you don't f*** with the cartilage?
256 00:06:26,634 --> 00:06:28,390 So I love a big old crunchy piece of cartilage.
So that's why sometimes I'll go for the drum.
I love it.
And a low-key thing,
my dad
like brainwashed me.
'Cause he would
when I was a little kid, he's always like,
"Ah, the best part y'all. I get the best part."
266 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,237 - Asian people love to eat
"white people trash," is what I say.
269 00:06:44,412 --> 00:06:45,245 - Yeah.
- "Ew, we don't eat that.
Well, give it to us then."
- Yeah. Facts.
- That's what my mom does.
One time I got in trouble
because
I compared her to a dog.
I was like, "Mom, you're like a, you're like a dog.
You just eat all the scraps."
And she got so mad.
Like she, like just smacked me at the table.
282 00:07:01,950 --> 00:07:04,120 I legit was sitting there with my food.
So shocked.
- How do you say dog in Vietnamese?
- Chó.
- Chó?
- Con chó.
OK, cool.
OK. What's his noodle situation?
I really wanna f*** with it.
- It, it reminds me of the Taiwanese cold noodle dish.
It's like this sesame noodle dish they have.
Dan dan noodles.
But, it's more peanutty.
It's a little spicy.
It has a little kick to it.
I enjoy it.
It's so f****** good.
- Yeah. That is good.
Nice kick to it.
- And this crab fried-
You can already tell
by the crab fried rice it's wok, it's done in a wok.
It has that wok sear flavor.
- Yes.
- Oh, so good.
- The papaya salad I approve.
- It's done with like an unripened papaya.
It's a green papaya.
They'll like mandolin or shave it down.
They have a little scraper shaver thing. I've seen it.
Yeah. Or they just like.
314 00:07:41,906 --> 00:07:42,739 - Yeah.
- And then.
- Yep. Exactly.
That description was the best.
319 00:07:47,180 --> 00:07:48,013 It's bright.
It's acidic. It's sweet.
It's crunchy.
- It's balanced.
- Mhmmm.
- Not mad at all.
I'll tell you what.
I think my mom might even approve of this place.
328 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,420 - And that's hard.
- Is she picky?
- Very picky.
Especially with her Thai food.
She's just low-key a hater.
She'll try the Thai food.
- That face.
- The next place is Howlin' Ray's.
376 00:09:21,883 --> 00:09:23,050 Now to me, Howlin' Ray's
is honestly the best hot chicken place in LA.
It's worth all the hype.
- Now, look at this girthy motherf***** right here.
- Yes.
- Just look at it, man.
It's beautiful. It's huge.
- It's worth it.
They just do it right.
- You know, the first time we had Howlin' Ray's
was on an episode of Send Foodz, classic episode,
before it ever got picked up by Thrillist, even.
And f****** dumb-ass David.
- That's what they call me.
- They brought us out the Howlin' to try,
which is the extreme flavor, right?
And I'm like, "Dude are you sure you wanna?"
And he's like, "Oh, let's do it."
I'm like, "All right, let's do it for camera."
- I was like, "What do they know?"
And then I almost died.
- Yes.
- Cut to the clip.
400 00:10:05,733 --> 00:10:08,204
- What have I done?
I'm so sorry.
Like legit, my, my ear went deaf in my right ear.
- Yeah.
- My first time experiencing that, it was,
it was like a slow buildup.
And I was like, "OK, this is fine.
This is cool."
And then it legit was, it just went dark.
- Cheers.
- And here we go.
The best Nashville,
hot fried chicken sandwich in California,
in all the land.
417 00:10:33,775 --> 00:10:35,991
419 00:10:37,412 --> 00:10:38,530 - You know what, it's that sauce,
and that sweet pickle
to balance out that,
that spice from the crispety crunchety juicy-ass chicken.
- I love that every element has full flavor.
It's not like just there for texture.
It's not just there for looks.
It adds to it.
- You're feeling that a little bit?
- A little bit.
- I figured you're getting a little shiny there.
- Am I?
- My guy.
- I love heat. But heat doesn't love me.
- You're looking like a little rotisserie chicken right now.
- Oh my God.
- Fresh out of Costco plastic.
- You're glowing David.
- You know, when you start to feel a little
like just a tingly around here?
- Have you been to Nashville before?
- Never.
- Tennessee? No, I have not.
You know why I feel like you're from Tennessee?
'Cause you're the only attractive person I know.
445 00:11:20,190 --> 00:11:21,701 - Yeah. That was good.
- All right, what would you say
was your favorite thing you had
out of all the Tway selections?
- It was actually that, that cold noodle dish.
- Oh the Thai one?
- That one threw me off a little bit.
453 00:11:30,781 --> 00:11:32,630
- The man got tissues all stuck all to his forehead.
- Let me tell you something,
you guys think I'm f****** lying about this.
Like hell I'll f****** die right now.
459 00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:43,020 The cold noodle, that's just probably my favorite
'cause I'm so hot right now.
I really wanted to just go in on that shrimp.
It was like really good.
I was surprised because I feel like
the sugar in Hawaii is so good.
And then when you eat at the different spots out here,
like it's good, but it never actually really like,
you know, you want it, you, you compare it to Hawaii.
And that sh** right there,
I was like, "Hmm, this is, this is hitting, right now."
Well, thanks Tway
