- That's some good curry.
- My mom taught me well.
- Your mom cooked it, bro. What you talking about.
- Hey everybody. We're back.
And we're here with the lovely Chloe.
- Hello, everyone. My name's Chloe.
I am originally from Singapore,
but I'm currently living in London.
I'm an Asian gal.
So I'm looking for some spice, some flavor.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, my name's Matt Lansky.
- My name's Faisal.
- Hi, everyone. My name is Ray.
- What are you hoping for today?
- Just some good curry
and some decent chefs behind the currys.
Bring in the curry. I'm ready.
(Matt laughing)
- Oh, here we go.
(upbeat Latin music)
- Yeah, I'm Matt Lanksy.
So I made some curry goat.
On the other side, I've got some plantain, white rice.
The main body of this dish is really focused
on the goat meat and did my thing.
I can't be giving them my secrets like that away.
Just when you do eat, approach with caution
because it's dangerously amazing.
Just enjoy yourself though.
- Oh, okay.
Not bad.
I like the plate.
- What? Hey.
- She likes the plate, not the food.
- The chef was very generous with the rice.
Do you know what that means?
- [Producer] It's curried goat.
- Goat? Oh, okay.
I've never had goat.
I don't think I've ever had goat.
It's not always about the presentation.
It's about the flavor for me.
But personally, if there could be
like a little bit more green in there.
- What does she mean, bro?
Talking about green.
- Yeah, honestly
I'm just like really excited to try this right now.
So, oh, it's very like fragrant.
(Disappointing tones)
- I feel I got the bone.
- Oh no, bro.
Let her try another piece man. Come on.
(yummy eating sound)
- All right.
(mimicking yummy eating sound)
I'm like Scooby Doo.
(Matt laughing)
- Wow. That is spicy.
Oh my God. That's spicy.
(Chloe woos)
He really delivered on the spice.
Let's just put it that way.
I can tell this guy likes spicy food as well.
So we'll get along just fine.
- Ah, she's going for our third spoon.
- Oh, third one.
( Chloe woos loudly)
- Right. Give me some,
(Cricket chirps)
give me some.
Right, (indistinct). Cool.
- That's really good.
(Yummy eating sound)
- Textures are really nice as well.
- Blasian kids look handsome and cute as well, so.
(Ray laughs)
- I really like the addition of the plantain in the curry.
I think that was like a very different take
that I didn't see coming at all.
Maybe it's like part of like the cuisine
from where this chef is from,
which is very unique to me.
And I really like learning about different cultures
through food anyway.
So I'm hoping to learn more about that.
- Did you hear that?
She's hoping to learn more.
How she gonna learn more?
- I also like how packed full of spice the curry has
because it did not disappoint, let's just say.
I thought it would be giving like bland
but it it's very much giving.
- Giving, its giving. Right. Cool.
- For the stuff that I think can be further improved on
maybe like, you know, I wouldn't like pack the entire plate.
I'd go the fine dining route.
- You got Nando's bro.
There no fine dining.
(Ray laughing)
- Nah, she wants five stars.
- I do think this guy has dating potential.
He seems like the kind of guy who will make
sure you're all warm
and like cozy, gives good cuddles.
- She don't know.
She does not know me, bro.
- It's got me interested. Let's just say that.
- She's made the decision already.
- Well, this dish got me really excited
but I'm also really excited to see the next one.
So bring it in.
(Upbeat Asian music)
- Hello everyone. My name is Ray.
I've made a Japanese curry with chicken katsu.
So for the curry, I use Japanese sake.
I also use chicken broth.
The chicken is chicken breast.
My cooking is a lot like me.
It's very homely.
It's wholesome.
Not too spicy, but still rich and full of flavor.
If you don't like it, then it's not meant to be.
- Oh. Japanese curry.
Yes, it's my favorite kind of curry.
Now we talking.
- She knows.
- Who, me? We?
- So you went for like a chicken katsu curry.
I'm like looking at this in like greater detail now.
And I see specs of seaweed.
Add some veg to your curry.
- It's in there. It's in the curry.
- She wants veg.
- It's in there.
- I love Japanese curry. So I'm very excited.
- Yeah. We've lost, bro.
- That's what I'm saying.
(everyone laughing)
- She's a little salty.
(everyone laughing)
- I actually use low salt soy sauce.
There is low sodium soy sauce in there.
(yummy eating sound)
- Okay. Okay.
- That's some good curry. Oh yeah.
- Yes, man.
- Yeah. Go you bro, well done.
- The rice is not your regular rice.
It has like such a unique flavor to it.
I just can't put my finger on it.
- I went for the more expensive rice.
- Overall, really great.
I would just probably cut down the salt.
But once I put all of them together, it actually worked.
The chicken was nicely cooked
and the ginger adds that little nice like crunch
onto it as well.
They look like the kind of guy
that doesn't want you to go hungry basically.
So you'll never starve with this chef.
- I'll make sure you're well fed.
I look after people.
- He'll cut up your meat first
and let you eat it before he dives into his own meal.
- I don't know what foods she's been watching though.
- This guy knows how to cook. I'll give him that.
- Mom taught me well.
- Your mom cooked it bro.
What are you talking about?
- This guy giving me very much dating potential.
- She's a keeper.
- You're done now, listen.
(Faisal clears throat)
- I got this.
- You better win, bro.
- Landslide now.
- I'm a little calm now.
- Okay. With the second dish already done
let's go for the last and final one.
(upbeat music)
- My name's Faisal.
And today I prepared a pilau rice with chicken meatballs,
potato, and a yogurt dip.
So we've got white rice
that's been like soaked in a stock, fresh mintz chicken,
a lot of herbs and spices, plain yogurt, onions, cucumbers.
My cooking's all right.
I'm not the best at cooking.
I don't cook all the time.
Now I have turned the spices down a bit.
There's a lot on the plate.
So there's a lot to go through.
(Chloe woos)
- Now I'm just shocked
at how different all of these curries are.
They're very much giving me personality.
Yeah. There's like even more layers with this one.
Okay. He gave like a hot meal
but also like a cool dish at the side.
- I think that's what the yogurt thing is called.
I don't even know myself.
- The camera's on, yeah?
And you caught what you just said, right?
You couldn't turn this, bro.
(Matt laughing)
- Cucumber, some chickpeas.
- It looks like chickpeas, but it's not chickpeas.
- What is it?
- I don't know.
It's like kind like a doughie kind of, not doughie
but I don't even know.
- So you didn't cook. You didn't cook.
Alright? Cool.
Say no more.
- I think the presentation's really great honestly.
- That's the first one that she likes.
- She likes it.
- It's definitely different
from what I would normally order
or eat on a day to day basis.
But I think I love it.
Okay. Oh, the spice is so subtle.
I was like waiting for it to like punch me in the face,
like the first one.
- See I wanted to punch her in the face
but I had to turn it down.
- It's like a sneaky one, you know?
I think now, oh, now she's all fired up in there.
- You've made a builder. A slow burner.
- Don't give it all at once.
And then, let it build up.
- Is that the kind of guy you are?
- Yeah. She's loving it.
- That is banging.
Oh my God.
Wow.
(Faisal exclaims excitedly)
- Banging.
- Oh, this is all good.
This is proper good.
I would order this like, again.
- Literally the best til last.
- Thought I had it, man.
- I thought you had it.
- Everything just really melts well together.
The chicken meatballs is nice and supple
and like the curry just like works great.
And the rice as well is well cooked.
- She's not said anything negative.
- She hasn't.
- So what I like about this dude?
I don't know.
He's giving me very like introspective, thoughtful vibes
just because there's so many different elements to it.
- How do you get that from a curry?
- She's been capping since we finished our meal.
- I feel like food is a love language.
And so this says a lot about this chef.
- Oh man. I'm proud.
- [Ray] You killed it.
- I killed it.
- Shout outs to Mama.
(everyone laughing)
- I need to find more
of this kind of like food from this cuisine
cause honestly this one was a great introduction
and it was pretty banging.
- Your food was cooked with love, like.
- He got a lot of dating potential.
I feel like he does well in that arena.
(Faisal exclaims excitedly)
- Big heart man like Faisal.
- Okay. So, now that I've tasted all three dishes
it's unfortunately time for the hardest part
which is to decide who gets ranked where, so yeah.
Let's get ranking.
The first dish,
I thought it was full of spice.
It definitely didn't disappoint in that arena.
And I really like the addition
of the plantain at the side, it was very unique.
I've never had like plantain with my curry before.
So I really liked trying that.
And for the second dish, man, it just hits home.
I think it did really well.
I really liked how the chicken was like cooked.
It was like crispy.
Oh, the rice was
like a whole different like turn of events in there.
The last dish, I thought it was a whole party of flavors.
There was so much going on, but all worked out so well
then the side dip just like took it to the next level.
Yeah. All of them really different
but you can definitely see all of their personalities in it.
I would say in third place I would rank dish number one.
- It's cool bro. It's cool, man.
- Okay. I think just like compared to the other two
in terms of like the flavor, as well as the presentation
the first dish just didn't do as much.
And I just feel like it had less like effort in it.
- [Producer] Did you know though?
- Yeah?
- [Producer] The chef from the first dish,
he marinated that curry goat for you for 24 hours?
- No. Oh, I feel so bad. Oh.
- Hi, my name's Matt.
You're alright, Chloe.
It's nice to not meet you,
but I mean I'm kind of surprised
that you didn't pick my food because it was bussin'.
It was fire, but I mean well, it's alright.
- Your loss.
(Chloe laughing)
- Now that you put a face in the dish, honestly
I just feel so bad for saying that, but I appreciate it.
You seem like a really decent guy
who will get a great gal out there.
So now's the time to choose who goes into second place.
Let's do it.
I have to say that the dish
that comes in second place is, drum roll please,
(drum roll)
- Dish number two.
(Ray groans in frustration)
- So I won!
- It's alright, bro.
(Everyone laughing)
- [Chloe] Okay. Honestly I love Japanese curry.
I mentioned it like even before I tried any of the curry.
So I was really happy to see it.
But at the same time, I just feel like the second dish,
unfortunately, only comes in second place.
- Hi, my name is Ray.
Yeah. I'm devastated right now.
I don't know.
I thought I had it from your reaction.
I used low sodium, low sodium soy sauce in that.
I dunno where you are getting the salt from.
You said you tasted carrot. It was sweet potato.
So you know, maybe this is a good thing, you know.
- He's just salty y'all.
(Chloe laughing)
He seems like a great guy though.
Honestly, like very well dressed.
It's just that it's not cut out for me, personally.
So, I'm sorry.
So, I guess we know the grand reveal now
that dish number three went to first place
and honestly dish number three
had loads of different elements to it.
It was like a party in my mouth.
- She likes a party in her mouth.
(Ray laughing)
- Please, camera's on, yeah?
- Keep it PG man.
- And he seems like a kind of person who would be
really fun to try different foods with.
So, he deserved first place.
- Me and Ray should've won one time, bro.
You better talk to the.
- This was rigged.
- Let's be professional now.
Yes, Faisal.
(Matt and Ray clapping)
- Well-deserved bro. Well deserved.
(game show music)
- Hello? Hi.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Oh my God. That's so awkward.
- Hello.
- He's in love. That is love.
- Sorry. Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Chloe.
- Faisal.
- Yeah. Thank you so much for making the curry.
That was really good.
- Took a long time, hours to make.
- Wait, was it 24 hours as well?
- No.
- Did that make sense to you, 24 hours?
- A bit long, isn't it?
It is, just for that.
- All for last place.
(Bomb explosion)
- Oh, Faisal!
- Cancel! Cancel!
- Faisal! Watch.
- Yeah. So Faisal seems like a really nice guy.
He seems very friendly, approachable, easygoing,
a little shy but it's okay.
I can provide in that area, so.
- She knows she wrong with her pick.
She should have picked me.
If she picked you, I wouldn't have been too mad.
His mom cooked that. I swear that.
- [Producer] Are you going to exchange numbers?
- Yeah.
Why not?
- Why not? Of course.
- Yeah, no, go for it.
Bye!
- Bye. See ya.
