Kiss a girl one day and look. I'll get to those eventually but right now. It's all about having the most luxurious
Over-the-top gigantic seafood dinner you can possibly imagine Andrew here
He is from Australia a place literally, surrounded by oceans that are full of delicious sea creatures
He's had every kind of delicious seafood whether it's endangered not endangered
I mean is that true
That's not true. I've eaten a lobster before.
That's pretty good, and so that's the kind of expertise we need
What's the biggest lobster you've ever eaten ? May be one kilo
That sucks
Today andrew is joining me for a bucket-list seafood feast
One giant lobster providing a hearty and decadent five course meal and in keeping with
Vietnamese tradition every part of this lobster will be used
And I mean every part
Oh my god, man. Yeah our lobster blood jello is here, but first we got to pick out our lobster
We're getting right into it we have entered the aquarium section of Sky garden and we are looking for the biggest lobster they have
Let's see what they got. Can we see the big one?
OMG. What the fuck man?
Can I? I guess I'm holding it.She did just enter into it. Dude, I think it has bigger hand than you do.
Look at that. It's glory size of my face.
This is like a prehistoric Jurassic Park age lobster, this lobsters probably older than me
I want you to use your human scale you should guess how much it weighs. That's got to be man
It's gonna be two three kilos. I'm gonna say eight
Seven pounds my guest domitor works only in pound. Sorry well. Let's find out my friend gonna put it on the platter. Oh
Oh my god
3.1 kilograms
Yeah, we're just gonna do some quick food man six point eight pounds so what we're gonna. Do is we're gonna eat this
I've been told that we we take it to the table we get some selfies
And then they're just gonna take it away from there
I get to do a lot of cool stuff on this show where it's like exclusive access
But this is actually the real customer experience here
They want you to take pictures to China seafood. I mean, I guess why wouldn't you selfie. Let's do it
Little more sympathy for the lobster all right good. Umh, I got you something. Thank you!
Course one lobster blood jello course one starts with some poached shrimp
That are shelled and sliced up then topped with some fragrant Vietnamese herbs, but it definitely does not stop there
They've taken the lobster to the kitchen and there's kind of a special preparation that they do that it's now a little bit
It's out there. It's out there. It's gonna be a little bit controversial shock when iodine shows
This is food innovation would this be against the law and the West
our first course draws its inspiration from the Vietnamese dish deep gun or blood soup
Traditional deep gun starts with a base of fresh ducks blood poured into a bowl then allowed to set for a few minutes until it
Thickens it's then topped with the Ducks organ meat herbs peanuts and onions with the side of rice cracker
It's it's one of those shocking foods because there's blood in it and people aren't used to eating blood, but really
It's not that weird as far as I know the dish we're about to try is not only the first of its kind in Vietnam
But the first of its kind in the world and now he's going to do this special
Preparation unique to this restaurant, but drawing from Vietnamese inspiration, let's go for it
What the
Yeah
This is lobster blow lobster a blood. It's clear my god. I think that's enough. I think we got enough blood
That's a lot of that's a lot
That's definitely enough blood for me should I feel bad we need to act like we're outraged a little bit but looking
But we saw have to eat it, dude
All right, thank you. The loss term blood mixed with shrimp. This is the first course on say I'm excited
I'm like maybe apprehensive. Yes better work. That's the right you're in the right mentors right okay, at least
We're utilizing every bit of the web server. That's true literally every part of this Lobster is gonna be used for this meal
Okay, yeah after about five minutes our lobster blood jello has set and it's ready to eat
I'm imagining that this is gonna taste like salt water is this even the blood. I don't know it's clear all right right Cheers
Mm-hmm
Well
That is this the strangest uh-huh the texture is really gel aleene's yeah obviously the shrimp tastes amazing naturally salty, too
They didn't get any salt on the shrimp
So all that salt is just from that animals saltwater ape it almost tastes like oysters
It does taste a little bit like solidified ocean water super fascinating right yeah, I've never had anything like this. It's crazy. Yeah
Course two, lobster tail sashimi
Now that our tongues have been tantalized with the taste of what's to come
We're ready for more. For course to
Our chef removes the still raw meat and chills it for a few minutes while preparing our seafood boat which can hardly contain this
monstrosity of a lobster from there he cuts thin pieces of tail
Placing them over ice the result not only looks tasty
But it looks like a work of art deserving of its own music montage
The first point we got to try it with no sauce it looks just like fish, it's crazy all right, let's try it out
Hmm I like it yeah, that's really good clean, it doesn't take fish at all either don't know no fishiness whatsoever
I just really want to quickly thank this lobster for giving its life, but what I can say is
This lobster went out a star, and it's entertaining at least a million people right now
Did this video get a million yes?
Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah
because we don't want the lobsters death to be in vain and so we can at least have solace and knowing that a
million people saw this video
Okay, so let's dip it in some of that wasabi. Yep. All right. Let's do it
Yeah once you get the salt on that attentions what gets it really yeah firmness
Oh miss crispy whores three stewed lobster head after the sashimi
Normally the head and claws would be placed into a hot pot, but there's just one small problem
I don't think it's gonna fit. I really don't oh
Oh my god
Here we go
Just doesn't really seem logistic was possible. He's attempting to cut off the clock
He basically just did a kind of an armbar is using his jujitsu skills. We're gonna cut that even the head in half oh
My god, so just the head we're really gonna have to be like several whole bucks for that
He's gonna pull the head out so right here have like a hopper right here. You can see all the layers
You can see that green part
Are you gonna eat that in the West people commonly focus on tail and claw meat and often disregard?
What's in the lobster head?
But we're here to try everything head to tail
Including the inner green organ known as tamale the tamale acts as a filtration
System for the lobster and in fact the FDA advises hungry fun food video making people like myself
To avoid it we just ate the congealed blood mixed with prawns yeah, we're gonna draw the line because this was green
That's a fair point right, okay. Let's do it
I just got is butter ain't so smooth. Yeah, that's really good. I agree and it's so big
There's just whole spoonfuls of it
Course four. Giant steamed lobster claws these are nature's natural flavors at their best. Here's the money shot
This is like what I'm gonna open this video. Here it is. Gigantic lobster claw and
Oh My God! Look at that, then we'll put that in the beginning of the video right and people be very enticed to watch ok
And then now they're like oh was that an act. No I'm genuinely shocked at how gigantic this is it's heavy
This is over a half a kilogram pain, and I think yours is just as bigger than mine
What do we do I just want to take a final I think you can do it already yeah
It is the best moment of my life. Oh my god. It was so sweet
It's got like that little bit of chewiness twins yeah, naturally sweet mmm piping hot still mmm I mean, come on
Yeah
Okay, cool. All right. Yeah, look a lot of people
Ask me if I feed the camera guy usually I cut that part out of the videos. There's definitely the best lobster experience
I've ever had I'm getting pretty full already. How we do this hot pot
I don't know
I feel like the hot pot is now kind of anticlimacti compared to this
Course five, hot pot after being stopped with rich sweet lobster meat
There's still one more course a hot pot made with a kimchi based stew and loaded with vegetables and any remaining lobster meat
We've got a mushroom
Carrots blah blah look. It's vegetables as vegetables. I just feel like we ain't the most gigantic life I've ever seen in my life
I know is how are people gonna stick around to watch us eat?
vegetables that were boiled and bra no we just ran out of time and
We didn't think it was gonna be this huge finally what you've been waiting for the price tag this complete lobster experience costs 1 million
950,000 Vietnamese dong per kilogram with a normal portion of lobster being around one point two to two point five kilograms
today our three point one kilogram lobster comes in at six million forty five thousand Vietnamese dome or
Two hundred sixty six dollars we were gonna do the crab also
And then we happen to get really stuff because we have a freakin seven pound lobster here if you want to see the giant crab
