hey everyone in smart Queens with
migration ology calm I am in langkawi
malaysia we were just driving down the
road and we stopped by at this wedding
it's wedding season and they graciously
invited us into their in their yard
where the wedding is set up and have
just been extremely kind to us and they
keep bringing us more and more food and
this is just a beautiful beautiful thing
to experience a wedding which is both
food and culture and things I I love
this is well that looks incredible
very tender yeah very soft yeah that is
extremely tender I wasn't expecting that
be so tender it's almost like it's
almost like liver it's so tender so they
have brought us just a spread of all the
dishes that they're serving at the
wedding
this is one of the main wedding dishes
which is Buffalo cooked curried Buffalo
and I see bamboo shoots in here as well
there are some fried fish and this is a
chicken curry and entire week this is
called autumn and I think it echoes its
taro stems and then this one lastly is a
dish of yellow mango shredded with
onions and peanuts and long beans and so
I think the easiest thing to do is put a
little bit on your rice of everything
I'm gonna take some of this mango
oh and I think there are inch IVs in
here as well look at that I think this
is a mackerel little mackerel the main
event at a wedding in langkawi is the
buffalo curry which i already got a
taste of from the chef who fed me and it
is beautiful it is so tender it's
unbelievably tender some more gravy is
never a bad idea I got to go in for
another bite of the buffalo with some of
those some of those bamboo shoots you
mix in a little bit
[Music]
well that is good stuff yep I'm just
blown away by how tender that Buffalo is
I think they must cook it for a very
very long time
Buffalo does not sound well I've had
some very tough Buffalo as well but that
is extremely tender and it almost it
almost has like a like a livery texture
to it
well that is like a an insanely good
almost if it could almost taste like
like a salsa like a like a pineapple
salsa okay chicken curry here I love
these two the chicken curry
a little bit a little bit spicy and a
little bit sour that's good - lets go -
and then this is a little fried mackerel
and it's a little bit yellow so I mean I
think they might add some turmeric to it
and I think it's fried I think it might
be small enough that you can eat almost
all the bones but let me just take off
some from the side there
[Music]
yeah I'm always a lover of fried
mackerel something I can eat every day
and this is these are the stems from the
taro plant
that texture is just amazing it is so
like soft and just explodes with juice
in your mouth it's like a sponge that
just soaks up all this juice of that out
that dish if that dish is it's actually
kind of plain but just sour
they have just handed us another dish
and this is the langkawi version of
laksa which is noodles and curry and
this is a very interesting looking one
it's kind of a kind of like a pinkish
watery soup but you can definitely see
some chilies in there this almost looks
like a slice of lime or something and
then there are cucumbers is an egg in
here and then the boudin style noodles
that is almost like a refreshing taste
it definitely has some pureed fish in it
kind of has a smoky fishy flavor and
then with those cucumbers and sliced
onions or shallots in it it has a very
refreshing crisp flavor oh it's some so
it is some kind of a citrus orange or
something and you got to eat it with a
soft-boiled or hard-boiled egg
yeah hard-boiled egg and get well that's
gonna be good with that curry I think
this could be a very good breakfast dish
because it's kind of light and
refreshing yeah oh okay I just gotta I
just got a whiff of durian and that
smells delicious from over there
oh they have just presented me with a
half a durian as we were sitting here
eating they literally went to a tree in
the back and just picked this durian
right off the tree or for us so that is
a they are extremely generous and
extremely kind yeah really amazing
people and so I have no choice but to
grab a lump oh and this oh this is a
good one too I can just feel by the
texture
look at that yellow color oh there's
just nothing better than a piece of
dairy and at the end of your meal Oh
actually I'm only half way through my
meal and I'm and I'm eating the durian
but all that is beautiful that is
extremely buttery it's to the point of a
little bit bitterness a little bit
bitter
yeah that's just like an ice cream on
seed that's just ice cream on seed
that's good the groom is over there
across the street with you and it looks
like he's coming this way and bride
