wow
this is where we're gonna have açaí
so excited to try this and look where we are we're just at one of these many tents at this market
i guess everyone else likes acai as much as we do we could probably eat it for every meal
this is how we actually use that you can just eat like this a piece of fried
this is a machine where you can use it this is the fish normally many of flour okay
this is exciting we're about to have pure acai we probably have never had this before we've had
it's very liquidy a lot more liquidy than the acai that we've been seeing around brazil
you can see it just dripping in there and there are ice cubes in there it is
seemingly much different than all the other acai so let's try it
it has a little bit of a bitter flavor to it i like it it's really creamy naturally creamy
consistency so we tried it by itself and now we're gonna try it with the fried fish that is how
they eat it here they eat it with fish they think it's crazy if you eat it with fruit or like sugar
sweeteners everywhere else we've been in brazil you'll get like banana on it you can put tapioca
strawberries kiwi and all these different toppings but you do not do that marshmallows chocolate
so here they would probably laugh at you so it comes without sugar natural but they give you
this if you want to put some sugar and sweeten it up okay this is how you make acai
so he puts a bowl here he grabs the açaí
puts it in this machine and then it comes out of the bottom like this
and fish we're going to try outside with some fish now this is the first for us fried fish
the fish is fried it's a little bit salty and when you try the acai it
kind of mutes out the flavor of the salt it's good
it's so interesting how the culture of acai changes in brazil this is
definitely the most unique one and this is where it comes from so this
fish and acai combination that's how they consume it here but anywhere else in brazil
that we've been and we've been several places they we haven't seen that yet so
good fish
never had anything like this combo before the thing that talked a lot about it is putting
a super hot food item in your mouth and then following it up with something cold
and something that we're used to being more sweet more like an ice cream almost but having it in
a much different kind of form so at first it seemed like having fish with ice cream
which is a little different their açaí seems a lot more concentrated and pure sauce that you've
been having all around brazil is more like a mixture of like water and sugar it's diluted
and to back up for those of you who don't know what assad is a berry that comes from a palm
tree in the amazon so that's why it's so popular here normally so we're gonna change it up a little
bit more now since we have this little bucket of sugar we're gonna put some sugar into the acai
to make a little bit more like what we're used to we really love acai when it has a little bit of
sweetness not too much this has zero sweetness right now so let's put a little bit into it
and once we do that we're going to put some tapioca on top which gives it a little bit
of like a crunch makes it more of like a meal than a like a cereal yeah like a cereal
pretty good kind of like coffee you probably have to put a lot of sugar into it to make it
really detectably sweeter and the sugar i just put in it i almost couldn't detect that it got
any sweeter so i might need a little bit more we're used to a lot of sugar the thing is we love
acai in all forms we love it here in the amazon we like it when it's a little sweeter the only way we
maybe don't like it is if it's way too sweet one thing you've got to watch out for when you eat
acai it can get all over your lips and tongue do i have any on my face no not this time not this
time i bet if we eat that full bowl we will though they are working hard packing the acai right now
açaí is extremely healthy for you there are a ton of benefits
acai has antioxidants it's good for energy weight loss a variety of things
we're just hearing from our guide that what acai does is you consume it it makes you tired but
then after you take a short nap or chill out for a little while then the energy comes from
it and then you'll get like a boost of energy so we might have to nap after this
that right there is a new bowl of acai that he just made
pure and fresh and now he's serving it up to the people that are coming up to this place so the
fish and acai combination is very popular people will eat that combination every day in the north
so in berlin in other areas of the amazon in the total northern area they'll eat like this daily
so that meal we just had was 20 rail so that's like four dollars for the sa
and the big way to fish that is very generous very cheap we're feeding the cat our leftovers
this is very very good so this is the inga we tried a version of this fruit
yesterday but it looked a little different eating just the poop just like yesterday
let's try this you ate just the pulp around the seed just a little bit
it's hard to get the stuff up yeah it's a little bit of sweetness
you have to kind of rip off a little bit of the flesh around the seed
here it is this is inga i would have just thought it was a stick if i saw it on the ground it's
very hard it feels like wood but there's all this fruit inside so you have to climb a very tall tree
to get this and bring it down and this is the long skinny drier version of the other one that
we tried yesterday tastes the same we are going to have some lunch so we're going to a place called
and we're almost there we're walking along these historic
buildings that are still intact way back when
you can see the old tiles here they're about a hundred years old they've left this intact
so these buildings are kind of protected by the government so they are just staying like this
i've tried many acai bowls before but never one like this
biggest açaí bull i've ever seen i have a feeling we're gonna like this lunch place
judging by the name of it
so we just sat down and the first thing that we are having is called so it's like a koscinia but
kashina has chicken and the una has crab so this here is a crab claw inside is crab meat so let's
try it this is a very popular food in this region and you grab it by the cloth and eat around it
that is tasty very good crab meat that in there it's all crab meat that's really good
i told you we haven't seen these or tried these until we came to this region
very good
so like we said this thing is called and means nail so it's like the nail of the crab
crab hey we call it vinaigrette rice and in here we have chicken shrimps salted meat salad
two types of fish okay this is piranoku this is fidoci and this is manioc fried fried maniac
i don't think i'll be home what is that i'll try it
yeah yes this
we saw it sitting on the table over there yes it has the sourness of the lemon
but the tart and sweetness of an orange is the perfect combination i really like that that was
a great blend i wish we had that and then we have another juice we've never tried this fruit
i don't even know what this looks like
so this is not sweet at all it's a little bitter it's very frothy it's like gelatinous
i can't really describe it it's not like anything any other fruit i've had it's
better more like a grapefruit kinda reminds me of the green fruit like the sour sauce sour sauce
trying a bunch of new things here this is the acai in the middle of the table in a couple of jugs
it's like a tragedy you don't do that picture come on steady hands full of sugar if the sugar okay
there is this thing about people here say if you drink a side with
sugar you're not tired you see oh my god this is just tradition talking talking
i learned i learned to drink maya with a little bit of sugar okay so i don't care i will put it
here we have maniac flower yellow one i like to eat mine with this open a little bit
put it on the ball okay you will never put the acai on the plate you choose
which protein you want to have beef shrimps fish or anything i'll get a shrimp in here
it's like this move the bowl near to you
in a serious food coma right now we ate way too much it's easy to do here because
the food is so amazing he's just over here digesting i feel it
just got to our hotel and we're liking it a lot already
probably the best place we stayed yet i think it was only like 30 bucks a night maybe even less
