we're in Penang Malaysia at an Indian Muslim restaurant famous for its soups
we're here to try a local dish that a number of our subscribers have
recommended sup torpedo or bulls penis soup, let's go and find out what this this
dishe is all about. I'm Thomas and I'm Sheena and we're Chasing a Plate, we hope
you're hungry, let's eat!
before we get to the main event the sup torpedo or the bull's penis soup where
Luke Martin another food Youtuber's going to join us, we are going to sample some
other soups that our subscribers have recommended to us, so I have got the beef
tongue now there's just huge chunks of tongue in this sort of brown
broth which has got a lot of spring onions and sort of a really fine film of
oil on the top which is quite yellow so I assume that's from the curry spice
mixture from turmeric because of the yellow colour and then we've also got
these huge slices of fresh white bread to go with our soup
I'm just going to give the soup itself a go
mmmm that's really tasty so the spice is quite mild, it's really fresh from the
crunch of the green onions or spring onions and then it's quite peppery let's
give these beef tongue bits a go so I've got really vivid memories
of beef tongue my parents used to be really into it so I used to wake up on
a Sunday or Saturday morning and there'd be this gigantic beef tongue defrosting
on the kitchen bench and it used to freak me out because I'd go up close
and peer at it and you could see all the tastebuds
and it was sort of like dark grey and pink and it was just ginormous but I've
learned to love it because when it's cooked well the meat is super tender so
let's see if it's the case with this bowl of soup
mmm it is, the beef tongue is super tender it's not chewy at all it really
is just like eating a cut of meat almost like it's been braised because it's a
really soft texture that is really tasty and if you've never tried beef tongue
you should give it a go
so the soup I've got to start off with is kambing leg
which is mutton leg so the soup is the same broth as what Sheena had hmm yeah
it's like a mild curry taste it's really runny the soup but it's got a
nice like thick texture on the mouth it coats your mouth it doesn't just feel like
water, it's got, it's full of spring onions so it's got
crunch and a bit of freshness from those, let's try a little bit more soup
that is really tasty soup I'd eat that soup by itself, really really good, let's try
some of the meat this just looks like a piece of pretty much straight
meat
super, super tender it's been cooked for a long time
it's really sorta soft on the mouth, it spewed a little bit of the broth out and that
was actually a little bit spicy there's another piece, here where is it, I think
it's this one yeah this one which looks like maybe it's like right down the
bottom of the legs some hoof or something I don't know why it's black, so
it's got the skin and that blackness let's try that, see what it tastes like hmmm skin
it's just got a really skin taste it's really, it's nice, it's a little bit chewy,
quite tasty
these bowls of soup and going down a treat, we're going to
slurp them up and then wait for our mates to arrive so we can get into the bulls
penis
the sup torpedo or bull's penis soup has arrived
and so has Luke Martin, so check out Luke's channel it'll be linked above
he's making a video as well tonight so check out his video, but you look at this
soup. Oh man. What we're gonna do is be filming for Luke's camera when I first try it so I
won't be looking at our camera but here are some first reactions of eating bull's penis
so before we eat, this is the soup itself this is exactly the same broth that
we've already had tonight in those other soups so it's going to have a very
similar flavour and then the penis itself has been cut into chunks, so out the front the penis
was about maybe four or five feet long? At least! It was very long but it's been cut into little
pieces with the cleaver, covered in that soup and now it's ready to go
so Thomas and I have picked out our pieces and as I mentioned this is my
first time trying this how about you? Definitely my first time as well. Yeah so
this is something maybe if you're an adventurous eater
you should try in Penang so let's try it out, cheers
It's quite chewy. Very gelatinous, very chewy, almost like a little bit rubbery, the broth in the
soup is delicious. It's very chewy.
It almost tastes, or the texture is almost like gum, like a chewing gum
but it's almost a little bit stickier than gum. Seems the centre bit is stickier
Yeah. It's really stuck in my mouth the centre of the bull's penis
yeah and there's almost kinda like a film on the outside so you definitely chew
that up good but once you chew it up it can pretty much just slide down your throat
very gelatinous. So as you've just seen we've had our first pieces and it
was very strange in texture as Luke was saying, yeah, really sticky inside, I think
Luke explained it like chewing gum and it's so true like having a huge wad of
chewing gum, but very wet chewing gum
Yes sticks to your teeth. Really sticky really hard to chew and I just had to swallow it
whole in the end. Me too once I chewed it up enough it kind of just slid down. Very
interesting thing but the taste wise didn't really have a major taste it just
tasted like this broth, so peppery, curry almost like a Japanese curry,
really tasty on that front, now Sheena is going to try it we'll see what she
thinks.
My turn! I actually... I know that was very long but I expected
a bit more girth. Yea. It's quite skinny. But um bottoms up! Bottoms up!
Alright, it is chewy. Very Chewy.
Luke's piece was massive so excuse him if he's not talking because his mouth is just
stuffed with bull's penis, it's like the texture of tendon to me it's like
gummy, a bit chewy, slimy. Mmm hmmm mmm hmmm. Almost
like the slime like the boys said coats your mouth
I'm still chewing. He's still going. Mine's actually quite soft I might go for another bit
okay I was finally able to swallow that, I think the outside is more of the chewy part
and then the inside has more of a firmness to it, it's easier to chew
definitely, I find the outside is just the really like slimy slimy bit
and it really kind of sticks to your teeth just like chewing gum. Not bad really. No it's not, just hard to eat!
I'm gonna try a little bit more of this but I just want to talk about the soup itself so of
course for us this is a bit of a novelty factor, Luke is from Canada, we're from
New Zealand it's not something that either of our countries would generally eat
we've been in Malaysia for a few months though and a lot of people have told us
to try this and it's not a novelty thing here, it is just a meal and it's often
eaten by men to help with manly things and the man up the front
said natural viagra to me so that is sort of, it's a very common thing and
we've been told to try it by a lot of people and we're not doing it for laughs
and not for shock it is we really wanted to try this as a food because it is a
very common food here, let's try some more because I've only had one piece so far
it's just that broth flavour, there is no discernible flavour in the penis itself
it's just a very strange texture and if it's good for my health then
I'm into it, it's totally amazing, it is a great bowl of soup
We're onto our last bites
of torpedo or bull's penis and I really don't mind it like it really doesn't
taste gross, it just tastes like or has the texture of tendon but this is
probably the craziest or one of the craziest things that we've eaten, what's
something crazy that you've eaten, something a bit out of the ordinary
we'd love to know, pop a comment down below
Luke has been very kind and brought us
some Black Thorn durian to finish this meal, this is one that we've been
told by a lot of people to try it's a really special variety grown here in
Penang, let's try it! It's delicious!
It's delicious. Super creamy. It's amazing. It is super creamy
quite mild in flavour, like durian flavour, a little bit bitter, it's so creamy
it doesn't really have that alcoholic taste that you get with some of them
it's almost a little bit nutty, like almond. Yea, that's so good
What a way to end this meal we've had such a fun night trying all these soups starting off
with those relatively normal soups and finishing with that sup torpedo or bull's
penis which was really really interesting to try, I would definitely
have it again. Sheena? Yes! Luke? Oh yeah! What a day of eating now don't forget to
