- Check it.
If you're like me, you love street snacks.
Malaysia is the best place for that.
So tonight, I'm at the longest night market in Kael.
Over two kilometers long, 700 stalls,
so many snacks.
The flavors are out and I'm hungry for 'em,
so let's go try 'em.
Come on with me.
Check it out.
This night market was full of
interesting and exciting snacks from throughout Asia.
So, narrowing down my top five was difficult,
although fun to do.
Let's start out with number five,
black stinky tofu,
fermented, deep-fried,
and covered in a homemade chili sauce.
This dish is a classic.
It's notorious for its foul odor
that can be smelled from miles away.
Oh,
it's bold.
The smell is fermented, stinky,
like a room full of socks
that hasn't been ventilated in a couple months.
Dirty socks that is.
Let's give it a try because I know
that there's more to this than the smell.
It's covered in garlic and chilies,
okay, some green onions and a little cilantro.
So the flavors are gonna be bold.
Really juicy
and stinky.
There's a little bit of that flavor in there.
It's very stinky, very putrid,
but it's an acquired taste.
I can tell you right now.
It's very delicious.
Moving on to number four,
grilled spicy scallops.
Can I please have the hot and spicy scallops, please?
(upbeat music)
Take a look at that.
Okay?
That is insanely spicy,
insanely garlicky,
and that scallop is chewy,
soft and juicy.
Oh I gotta get another one.
And now for number three,
spicy and crunchy fried soft-shelled crabs.
Okay, I found something really interesting here.
Check it.
Little crabs covered in spice.
You can just eat the whole crab,
like no worries about the shell or nothing,
so let's give it a bite.
Really crunchy.
I can taste the guts in there a little bit.
Really, really fishy, really oceany.
But I gotta say, this is the first time
I've eaten a crab with the whole shell.
Moving on to number two,
dragon's beard candy,
a sponge sugar,
like a threaded hand-pulled cotton candy
made with glutenous rice flour, sugar, honey,
and peanuts.
Dragon beard candy.
Oh, I'd love to try.
One please. Yeah.
Oh, look at that.
Oh, try?
Oh, look at that.
Looks glossy.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's really chewy.
That must be why they call it dragon's beard
because it's so threaded,
looks like it's coming from a dragon, right?
Really chewy, really peanutty,
really powdery.
Look at my hands. They're all powdery.
And you can taste a little bit of honey in there.
That is a top quality snack here.
And now, for my number one favorite snack,
the one and only deep-fried durian,
okay, check this.
I've got the deep-fried durian here.
Look at that.
I have never tried such a marvelous thing
deep-fried like this.
Okay, let's give it a bite.
Look at that.
Look how creamy
it is.
Okay, I can already tell you the best thing about this
is that there's no seed in there.
There's no big seed like there usually is in durian.
It's crispy on the outside,
custardy, milky,
buttery.
Look it. Look at that.
Thank you very much for watching.

I got a little crunchy bit in there.
It hurt my teeth a little bit.
But apart from that it's good.
I think there must've been a little sand.
Yeah, it kinda put me off a bit to be honest.
