Mauritius let's go check it out and then there's this the beyond burger beyond meat never started
how cool is this it actually is really really nice in there you've got some plants and a mirror
and and and some place to actually read the book so if you take a book and you sit in and you read
it you got a spot here but they're also tables and chairs there's another sitting zone here but
here's the counter reached off menu here and on the wall there so you can see some pictures what
because it is pretty cool
this is actually a lasagne right in the front so you can see it oh look at it
oh wow that's actual lasagne how do you make lasagne without meat oh it looks lovely
we got invited backstage well he actually knows we can but anyway so this is the our
area where he's gonna make the specific stuff for us these are cauliflowers they've been
soaking for 17 weeks and uh special herbs and spices here we go with the cauliflower
and then it goes into a special powder oh yes of course because they're wings
these are the wings cauliflower they've stopped being cauliflowers they're becoming wings
and here we go and we go oh look at them fizzing
awesome smells delicious
and this is Michael doing all these things he's the owner
owner and chef owner and chef so have a look at them they're actually starting to get golden
oh wow those look great so yeah there's this apparently this isn't meat
I don't know it is it looks like meat we're gonna have to see how it tastes oh listen to that
it actually does it just like meat well I suppose anything
with water and it's gonna bubble a little bit
looking pretty good guys we said that we don't want a whole burger we don't
want to disguise we want to actually just try that yeah so remember this is a tiny
little portion of what a big burger would look like and this is Chris also vegan
also a chef
kind of she's very much into it very modest and very shy
when they're going into a proper like little wing basket oh with some sort of sauce that looks like
a sweet chili sauce yum this is a really cool feature of the the kitchen there's no window
these are the cauliflower wings and you might have noticed that I mentioned them
in this video I said I was 75% vegan it looks like crispy chicken
beyond burger
we'll get to that no this is what we really came for look at them they smell so good they really do
they do and they look great oh man they look they look just like wings I mean genuinely
I'm going for it guys go for it dip it in the chili sauce
oh wow how's that cauliflower
oh wow this is as surprises I'm ever going to be I tell you what it tastes like a chicken wing
but there's no bonein it like a boneless chicken wing exactly well I gotta try I gotta try no no no
here we go Riki trying her cauliflower wings oh she's pulled in half like you do with the oh wow
I know it's like how did he do that it's like witchcraft I reckon there are chicken in that
I don't think that can possibly just be cauliflower
it's so savoury it really is it's like properly savoury
are you going to try guess what the ingredients are not a chance you know what's really great
about this have a look at the size of that right this was a chicken wing you wouldn't be able to
do this because it has bones because it has bones you slither it up with a bit of sauce and stuff
those are great seriously guys it is cool arc on the walls and also the concrete floor
and the wooden furniture but it matches so well with this like industrial feel
instagramable places how awesome is that oh no
it's so cool all you need is a friend to hold the camera for you
ah Riki's on his bathroom talk there you go so you gotta sink easily accessible
to wash your hands and everybody's really cool following the same industrial theme
nice now it's just marrying the sink yeah it's made out of concrete it's awesome
I love this rustic concrete stuff they're starting to make now
get your nose in there that is chocolate brownies and they smell so good so Michael back there
just asked Riki would you like a chocolate brownie and she said no of course she said yes
there we go this takes skill to actually prepare the chocolate brownies oh no
he's just serving them the skill was happened earlier when he made them here we go lucky Riki
it's a vegan oh they're two forks that means I'm allowed
chocolate brownie vegan chocolate brownie because I got to try the best
wings in the world Riki gets to try the brownie first texture looks good
what's the cut line oh soft it's soft it looks pretty sticky like a good undercooked brownie

mixing in
and in with the chickpeas those are chickpeas right
green pepper oh man this is gonna be so good I can actually smell it as well it's like all
the food in here really smells good while it's cooking this is the glamorous part of the kitchen
washing the dishes because we were looking at the glamorous bit we missed the cauliflower going in
there we are a little bit of cauliflower
and in with the cream except this is vegan so it's not actually cream it's coconut coconut cream it's
coconut cream that's the secret that's the secret why it tastes so creamy we figured it out okay now
I can open my vegan restaurant thanks for the tips I have to say this is a really nice wooden spoon
wow
yeah I'll leave it alone I want to destroy it for those who know that white stuff is
quinoa something like that somehow this is going to turn into Thai coconut soup
now we laugh because now that is a creamy chickpea cauliflower curry wow the 4cs it is boiling
down so beautifully it's actually starting to thicken up and the smell of curry is really good
this awesome looking stuff is actually just rice but it's black rice that's actually purple rice
that's a little bit of tofu getting fried up
this is the plating I'm trying not to disturb them but how awesome does that look
wow
oh man the four seas curry is awesome
and this is the Thai something something or something
coconut Thai soup oh and it's so misty it actually looks really nice and here we are so then the
tofu goes in there so there we are Thai soup with tofu doesn't look beautiful and of course
look at how beautiful this looks this is the the four c's the screamed chickpea cauliflower curry
with black rice and salad and this is the Thai soup creamed Thai soup with tofu
awesome right so we're up here in the north Grand Baie
right in between Super U and La Croisette on 20 foot road there's a bar area
awesome so you can do the whole Seattle coffee shop and bring your laptop and do your blog blogs
and there's waffles yeah grab yourself a chair Riki proper solid chairs
the reason these are so weird actually are really weighty but the reason that they are
awake is because they're all handmade and made of steel made of steel girders from Scotland
that was Riki tricking Michael into pretending it was just a
selfie but it was actually the video one like she always does to me
even with vegan food Riki's going to take a million photos while I'm dying of starvation here
the elephant in the room I'm going to cut it because I want to see I want to see oh
it looks juicy that that cuts nice how is it on the inside let me just focus on that
um actually I smell small meat coming out now when you cut it it actually it's a little bit juicy
look looks a lot juicy Riki the expert will let us know
does it or doesn't it taste like meat um I think you're going to be very
surprised in a good way or in a bad way a good way
that is that is weird I'm like
no that is that here we go the beyond beyond meat I want to see your face
you're confused you kind of want to drop it as well you witchcraft
the taste is not it's a little bit beefy but it's not like beef but it's
yummy maybe a little bit beef crushed lamb because I wouldn't say if I had to give up
meat I'd be happy if I had that oh completely wow what's like with the dipping sauce
look at it texture that's what does it is that texture really tastes like a minced meat and
it's juicy and I was expecting the taste to be a bit funky but it's not it's so yum okay completely
forgot to talk about these sauces because you assume some sort of mayo based or cream based or
yogurt based no no they're also vegan taste into my mouth from that one i thought it was cream you
were forgetting about the whole place being vegan yes so what's this one Riki going all saucy on it
oh and you put it you're making like a little lettuce taco
there we are look at that creaminess i mean it is surprisingly creamy
remarkable this is a very confusing place I understand the lettuce I understand the lettuce
that's vegan for sure the meat tastes like meat and the cream tastes like cream
I don't know what's in those oh wow beyond this is actually the beyond burger you can get it here
for 390 with some fries but I tell you what it was surprising it actually it shocked me at how good
it was it's actually a burger I would come and eat again and I know that it's good for me good for me

go no no it's a blueberry or something healthy but it is it's got healthy chocolate on it
chocolate's plant-based and look at that it even gets a little piece of ice cream and it's
not actually cream it's it's like a sorbet vegan vegan ice cream you actually get vegan ice cream
