hi everyone we're going to restaurant Lai min try something
brand new in Mauritius it's called a chinese grill first time ever in Mauritius
someone is so excited chinese hot grill
this one is the normal chili right this is like a thousand islands ketchup and mayo mix
this is like a barbecue and this is a sweet chili oh we got the fire on it's getting hot
came here especially for the chinese hot grill oh wow look at all that
that looks incredible it's all prepared for you and you put it on your grill
of course it also comes with the rice and the vegetables corn rice
should i do one
that was so good it does we've been given assistance
we're actually useless at it we're doing one at a time otherwise we'll be here for a month
but they are really friendly and helpful oh that looks amazing thank you so much
okay so this is calamari a little bit of fish we've got the beef the prawn the the
fish fish balls and at the back have some chicken i'm just going to turn that guy oh he's twirling
so you can cook the beef exactly how you like it oh that chicken looks good
oh it's starting to go pink
before just a few more seconds on that calamari this is the chicken
oh look at the caramelization happening oh man look at that one that's that one
beef is good chicken man
oh man we've got the first spoils off the grill
and there's still so much more to cook get cooking right i'll start eating this
master all right we've figured this one out now don't muck about we just have to put loads on
so but she did explain that in the center's where it's hot so once you've cooked yourself
then you leave it around the edge and it can warm up evenly right yes yes nice and flat
now you see i'm already getting towards dinner turn the stuff at the beginning man
look at that oh wow a little bit of the sweet chili
i think this was the chicken
oh wow it's so soft i know expertly cooked
and marinated some fish oh that's lovely beautiful it's like everything that you
needed on the meat is already on the meat totally different taste between the fish and the chicken
so you know which is which it's going to eat it
lovely i can't believe it is so different this is so much fun as well it is it's
an experience you just sitting here having fun and eating making Riki cook
you gotta keep turning you gotta keep turning Riki oh wow fall apart man
they do it the best oh man chinese barbecue in chinatown oh wow get the meat on
keep turning keep telling everyone why i'm so bad at this and you can do what we do and
just like cook everything or you cook them in little pieces so that it doesn't get cold i'm
keeping it on the edge so it doesn't get cold no we wanted to make it look impressive for you guys
look at that yeah but if you keep it on the edge it does keep it warm so that's pretty good fish
chicken
and then we made a mistake we should have been doing these first there's probably
but we'll start those now
i know it's amazing
how to get a selfie of yourself with barbecues
okay brilliant i don't know about you guys but this is sort of how i imagined it so
you grab a piece right off right take your dip dip it in uh-huh oh yeah oh it's still so good
that's why you have the dips in front of you so you can just keep dipping
it's like a birthday treat or something or just whatever come and get this take it dunk it
i'm going to try the sweet chili just sweet to always got some chili as well
it's got some chili spoiler alert oh it's a great sweet chili it's raining outside
but we're still barbecuing and i think we should just give a shout out to this amazing little guy
wow there's just such a on the table cooking the food
a little bit of help a lot of assistance you couldn't have done it without him but couldn't
have died without him thanks buddy oh wow guys this is Joelle she was just telling us about

noodles but now we're getting chinese grill and lots of other things i'm just sorry i'm
waving this into you but i was about to take another bite so eat the fish stick thanks Riki
vloggers laugh

it is a really big restaurant and then more tables behind
me but it's not quite as big as it looks here because um
wow look this is so cool Joelle gave us this is the original restaurant and on
the back is the chinese horoscope that is super cool and their contact details
right so they've got a regular menu with like i suppose these are the lunchtime dishes
pretty good spring rolls classic chinese soups rice dishes
classic bowl reverse oh yummy there's different options on there bowl reverse right then they've
got uh rice dishes noodle dishes steamed dishes i'm beginning to see why they're quite busy
chinese menus menus
what do you call it so they've put things together in a collection for you that there's
a fancy word for pictured do you have something like that thanks Bryan curated
curated they've curated a menu i cut all that other stuff out
another menu over the page
then you get the then you get the things split by the meat so lots of dishes
depending on which meat you feel like and they're called proteins right proteins also imply
beans something called clay pots
it keeps going makes you realize how many meats they are and then there's a page of vegetables
and that's what Bryan was saying yeah proteins because there's tofu and then lamb finally dessert
and a fondue fondue yeah wow these guys are really innovative steamboat
bathrooms oh really nice
if you come during the day you're gonna have to find parking there's some down there up the road
oh if you're lucky someone calls up he went to the restaurant right yeah we could have parked right
here but anyway this is zone two but i thought you can park there or across the street they've
got parking so they're here in the middle of um chinatown and if it looks familiar it's because
we did do a video here they opened for three hours of lunch from 11 to 2 30
and then again in the evening from 6 30 to 9 30. so plan your trip work 24 hours if you want the
chinese grill yes and after your lovely lunch you can enjoy a wander around
