it's time to go back to Malta
I'll let you be the boss
this morning we're heading out to st. peter's pool and i have to tell you that
the ride was worth it because we were going through twists and turns of
streets and small little goat paths roads it was an adventure and definitely
something you got to do alright we just got here two parking at st. peter's pool
it's three euros to park the car you saw that we went through it looked like
Safari brush to get here and when you eventually sneak through you come to the
most stunning coastline and this is so cool st. peter's pool in malta
incredible swimming hole people are jumping off the cliff they're swimming
drinks up here awesome we are absolutely doing this right now
here we are hiking again in flip-flops
so it's kind of got like a little Woodstock life going on where this is
kind of like a hippie is kind of feel in place and just very beachy and everyone
she's gonna out into a crew loving it
awesome
yeah that was an experience it was success we did it good job
so after a ton of Sun and fun jumping off st. Peter's pool it as you can
imagine was time for me to eat I worked up a huge appetite and tonight I wanted
to go for some local authentic Maltese dishes and many of you in our last video
on Malta left me some suggestions to try ninnu the artisan Baker and here's the
good news that is exactly where we went and that's exactly where you're going
right now the artisan Baker is gorgeous it is this beautiful restaurant that's
tucked downstairs in a limestone cavern and this place has been here for quite
some time serving up not only the specialty Maltese bread but really
delicious Maltese dishes and dinner started off with Maltese bread the
specialty here at name knew the artisan Baker and this bread lives up to his
reputation it was so good let's jump into literally some of Malta's
traditional dishes starting with the fried rabbit which was so good but I
have to tell you I was a little bit surprised because I went to use the fork
at night but was told this is a dish best eaten with the hands and you know
it's me when I travel sausages on the menu and what better place to have
authentic Maltese sausage than the artisan Baker now what's interesting
about this sausage is that has all the spices in flavor of Malta but it
actually follows the Portuguese process the Brits brought the sausage to Malta
but the actual process of making it follows the tradition in Portugal now
this is a traditional dish that I have never had before and it's called the
beef olives and there are actually no olives in the dish but it's named olive
because it resembles the shape of an olive but it's very much like the bridge
also you have the meat the beef that is stuffed with herbs and spices
it's like a it's like a slow braised beef and it was delicious and one of my
favorite dishes the pork belly I love pork just about every way and the belly
is one of my favorite cuts because it is so juicy and tender and they new did an
incredible job feeling all the way at Marc you find oh yes
Oh scraping the curb
and that's how you do that I'm being chauffeured around this is nice we are
on a mission to find the best busted seat in Malta and it is apparently at
Crystal Palace which is in the middle of the island do this
a seat see I see it on the menu top of the lid
oh my god it looks so good and then three Maltese coffee please
we've got our traditional pastitsio pie in it look at that beautiful pea mashed
pea puree and look at how buttery this dough is so good this is the cheese this
teardrop version here and this scrunched up little purse version is loaded with
anchovy
Brian can I give you a little bite right no I want you to try the pea a bunch of
bull to try the pea and time what you thank you hmm that's advising Li good
right isn't it I mean you wouldn't think no you wouldn't
it's savory really flavorful and the texture you picking up on the salt in
there right isn't that good possibly the coup de Gras is one of my
favorite flavors in the world thank you and that's the anchovy I just want to
put it right on my hip cuz that's where it's going anyway
and it is yum bow good Hey this entire breakfast was five point five euros for
three coffees and three awesome pastries how cool is that so if you're a game of
Thrones fan like I am then you're gonna be very pleased to know that Malta was
one of the filming locations for the series as you can imagine it makes a lot
of sense because this place is beautiful but it's also ancient so it fits
perfectly with the backdrop of Game of Thrones and this morning we are heading
out to Medina now and Medina also known as the Citadel where Cersei reigned is a
beautiful limestone city with killer views of the island and of course a lot
of a month I have had to cut it off we are on our way into the capital city
medina on a horse and buggy and when I say buggy I mean the smallest buggy in
the world this city is so stunningly beautiful charming corridors that we can
barely fit through whitewashed stone limestone walls cobblestone brick
streets
I feeling like monkeys royalty this is the best way to explore this capital
ancient city Malta is actually three Islands and we're going to another
island today called Gozo and this place is cool because we are heading to a
temple began jito which is actually the first or second oldest religious
structure in the world and I'm talking older than Stonehenge and older than the
pyramids which actually make this pretty darn cool so to get to go so you
actually have to take a ferry which is about 45 minutes on the other side of
the island from Valletta and let me tell you it was an experience
and when that ferry docks it's time to go and you got a move so when you get to
the ruins it's actually part of a museum so you go into the museum it's nice of
air conditioned which is great because it was super hot there as you can
imagine at an archaeological dig so the museum shows you all kinds of artifacts
and elements of the history of this ruin but when you get outside and you
actually get to the John TIA you'll see that it's this round if you will
cathedral like dome structure a pile of stones if you will and it was super cool
but you can wander through it and check it out it is super old it was super hot
and it's something you have to do when you come to Malta
all right so after a hot and sweaty day at the oldest freestanding structure in
the world we are now going to buy a beach club to what looks like an
incredible afternoon of Fun in the Sun
at by a beach club you know we're gonna hit some drinks we're hitting the water
I'm gonna get a massage and we're gonna have some fun
oh oh I felt something marks gonna get a treat you're gonna get a big surprise
there's all kinds of stuff going on here and most importantly we are having a
great beach club was awesome and now it's time for drinks and we're gonna do
it my style which is on the roof so we're gonna check out tazza
rooftop sky bar we have arrived tazza sky bar and this is from what I can tell
one of the highest rooftop bars in all of Malta and looks awesome let's have a
drink and take this view it
all right so for dinner we decided to head to Spinola Park to a restaurant
called manoosh and this is really a cool craft bakery and restaurant and the food
is French so the processing technique is French but the actual ingredients are
ball tees and let me tell you I had the best burger of my life beautiful
tomatoes and onions lettuce a brioche bun with the sunny-side up egg exactly
the way I like it with some minced chives
when this is cooked to perfection save our faith I love Malta a tiny
island with big surprises the people the culture the food and the history this
place rocks Malta was really cool and I hope you all liked it but stay tuned
because next week we're going back to Italy and this time I'm checking out
Puglia which is the heel region of Italy and this place is awesome
