Hidden Food Gems in Auckland - Ethiopian, Malaysian and Lebanese Restaurants!

[@thesoulrecipe]

The best thing about SUNDAYS!! much love Guys

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahahaha thank you so much Nicholas! This comment topped off our Sunday 😁👌

[@FoodandFootprints]

Was already excited seeing the title - we love all three cuisines!

[@PeterandYen]

The result of this video is we now have one more cuisine to love hahahaha Ethiopian added to the list 😎 Lebanese and Malaysian already on there 😁

[@HyunRalphJeong]

Ethiopian food is becoming very popular in the US as well! That bread is really interesting. So many different flavors in this video haha.

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yeah we went all around the world while staying in Auckland with this video 😅 o that's interesting that Ethiopian food is catching on in USA too 🤔 maybe it's mark wiens videos setting the trend 😁

[@LeonandTash]

Man Auckland has so levelled up on its international food offerings over the last decade. It's always been one of the bonuses of NZ's multi-cultural environment, having great dishes from around the world, but they were never as fancy looking as the places you guys showed today 😎

[@PeterandYen]

The food was sooo good at these places. You're absolutely right too I think it's definitely the last 10 years that has seen huge growth to kiwi dining. As foodies we are super excited about it 😁👍being able to try flavours unique to other countries in such a small city like Auckland is legit amazing.

[@Golfadventureswithchris]

I just was at a Ethiopian wedding that was so much fun. They had very similar food to what you guys ate. Getting use to the spongy bread was a little different but there was so much flavor and heat in there dishes.

[@PeterandYen]

O wow musta been awesome going to am Ethiopian wedding! Can just imagine how cool it would have been sitting together and eating a meal together with your hands. The flavour is the best part too so unique. Thanks for dropping by 😁

[@nazfromqueens]

What a diverse food tour wonderful. Ethiopian food is so unique!! We love it. The ethiopians are so proud of their coffee tradition!

[@PeterandYen]

Definitely should be proud they've started something that now seems to be consumed by the majority of the world 😁 very impressive 👍

[@rosemarysong8182]

Editors are getting better and better, thanks for sharing the yummy food and looking forward to more :)

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha thanks mum glad you think the videos are getting better it will be a worry if they're getting worse 😂

[@TheHungryBlackPanda]

Birth place of coffee!! Good to know!!!

[@PeterandYen]

Pretty interesting right! Pretty lucky to be able to discover that magical plant imagine it would give you an edge back in those days by keeping you energised 😁

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

The Ethiopian flatbread almost looks crumpet like with those holes. Ethiopian food is so interesting and tasty.....always a good choice for us vegetarians too 👍. 50 volcanoes??? Woah! Nasi Lemak....our fave Malaysian dish...just too tasty!! We tried a tasty vegetarian version in KL. Cendol - love it!! Weird concept to us to begin with but the tastiness of that dish blew us away. Lebanese food is great, kinda like tapas style - loads of little dishes to pick way at - we love that style of eating. Looks like a tasty spread guys. All of today's places looked exquisite - hard to pick a favourite we think 😉

[@PeterandYen]

Hey! That's a perfect look alike for injera! It does totally look like crumpets but tastes nothing like it hahahaha. It is definitely a great choice for vegetarians the 3 vege dishes were delicious! Lebanese food also great for vegetarians and the hummus was just divine. You guys must be super knowledgeable about Malaysia cuisine now 😮 thanks for watching and yen might have been able to pick a favourite but I really couldn't this episode 😅

[@PeterandYen]

O and yeah nz has a LOT of volcanoes hahahaha... kinda dangerous really lol

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

We also want to try Ethiopian. We've only tried a couple of recipes that we've prepared at home, but need to go to an actual restaurant. Doro Wat is so good! That coffee looks so nice too. We also need to find good Malaysian food here in Chicago. We want to try Nasi Lemak. Lebanese is one of our favorite cuisines. We have it all the time! Your spread looks fantastic. Hopefully, we'll get to share a meal with you guys someday.

[@PeterandYen]

Every single dish at cafe Abyssinia was delicious. Def if you have a chance to go to a restaurant nearby that serves traditional Ethiopian food on injera go for it! Eating with your hands is just bonus awesomeness. Lucky tout guys have a lot of Lebanese food around it's not too common here in nz but the places we do have are really yummy 😁✌

[@catherinekhoo474]

Awww....thx guys. Am sure the coconut rice taste great too at Kampung Style. Must say the Ethiopian & Lebanese look very interesting too. We shld go try them out. Tq for another great food episode.....love it.

[@PeterandYen]

Harlo harlo apa bikin 😂 yeah we need to go to all three of these places! Really fantastic food day we love them all ❤

[@TheHungryBlackPanda]

Ethopian food is someone people needs to know more about!! Mark weins said he loves ethopian food so much... I know looking right away that was good!!! So curious of eating that huge plate

[@FoodandFootprints]

The Hungry Black Panda Yeah! Ethiopian food is amazing. Lots of excellent spices and flavors

[@PeterandYen]

I can second that! Ethiopian food is super amazing. So unique and like nothing we've ever had before. Surely there's a place in Chicago for you to try?

[@FIYAHSTARTERS]

Omg i was already drooling over that Ethiopian dish 🤤 Everything looked amazing 🤤 Thankyou for showing these places 😍 im listing these down to visit on our next NZ trip 👌🏽😂

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha you're gonna have quite the list of places to try next time you're over here 😁🇳🇿 don't forget to hit us up so we can take you to even more places hahahaha 😂

[@kelvinwong9362]

Everything looks amazing. Auckland is definitely on my travel list.

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Kelvin ☺ the food we ate on this day left us in such a good mood afterwards hahahahaha. Seriously awesome that we live in such a culturally rich city. Just a lil spoiler for ya we are doing a few episodes of things to do around Auckland too for when you eventually do make the trip over 😁👍🌿 have a great rest of your Sunday!

[@CommunityToursAustralia]

Wonderful Sunday 11.30 making lunch and watching your video its fantastic !! Best wishes Peter and Yen 🥣🍲🥘🍳🥗🍕

[@PeterandYen]

Hey mate 😁 wonder what you're making for lunch today? 🤔 still got my fingers crossed to see some pierogis in your episodes hahahaha best wishes you you both as well 😁👌

[@CommunityToursAustralia]

@@PeterandYen German Shnitzel and Red Cabbage today ...Myriam !! is it ready ??? 😋

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahahaha sounds yummy!

[@CommunityToursAustralia]

@@PeterandYen ya ya ..Ya Vohl und Danke shon Prost !!!🍺🍺🍺

[@mariaandbryan]

Awesome !! Those trees look familiar Never had Ethiopian food either. Coffee ☕️ 😋 Love the facts ! Lieles loves noodles. Hummus looks really good. So much delicious food

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Lieles you're just like yen she absolutely loves noodles as well ☺👌 they are her favourite. The hummus and Ethiopian food were just amazing though. Then the coffee to wash it down was magic 👍

[@jessicat4934]

Another awesome vid guys! Ive been to Cafe Abbysinia & liked it but i will definetly go to the last place u visited. That food looks yum!

[@PeterandYen]

Hey hey Jessica hope you had a great weekend 😁👌 oooo nice that we've both been to case Abyssinia 👍 yes germayze street is also amazing but only thing is book in advance like way advance maybe a week ahead if you want a table on Friday or Saturday night. It gets crazy busy there. Good good always seems to draw big crowds 😅

[@STEADYWOOPIN]

i have to say i love this video its really interesting bro love it love to see these in the year

[@PeterandYen]

Yo Kiernan glad you enjoyed the video! This was so much fun for us cause we have never been to any of these places either. It was especially awesome trying Ethiopian food for the first time. Have to give that a go one day too it's very unique 😁👍

[@_lenasnow]

Mmm YUM! I love Lebanese/Mediterranean food *drooling* DAT hummus 😋 I would love to see you guys try the Persian dish called Ghormeh Sabzi (if there are any Persian restaurants over there~)

[@PeterandYen]

Ooooooo wow just had a lil mini drool session. Ghormeh Sabzi looks like a super hearty meaty dish especially with that yellow rice. There are Persian restaurants here but not sure if they serve that. Gonna do some digging and find out! Thanks for the recommendation 😁

[@_lenasnow]

@@PeterandYen YASSS It's my fav!!! But curious to see how you guys are gonna like it~ Some people say it's an acquired taste 😂

[@PeterandYen]

I haven't met a traditional dish I haven't liked yet. Always like to imagine eating food from the perspective of the person who made it. Makes it tastier and gives greater appreciation for the dish.

[@PuriandSue]

We're very new to Lebanese food, thanks for introducing these lovely dishes 😄 looks so mouthwatering!!

[@PeterandYen]

Come to think of it I don't remember seeing Lebanese restaurants in Malaysia either 🤔 I think you guys will have to come visit us in Auckland one day so we can try it hahahahaha ❤

[@TheHungryBlackPanda]

The hummus!! What a load of it!!! Give me some pita I'm ready to go!! Lebanese foood is my top 10 fav cuisines... I love everything about it.. The falafel are nice!! That fish and chips is a must try!!

[@PeterandYen]

Seriously love Lebanese food too! Just not enough of it here in new Zealand. I love the way Lebanese cooking treats the ingredients. Leaving it often in its more raw form is one of my favourite ways of eating. Also the ingredients are just so different. Another hummus lover hahahaha ❤❤

[@FoodandFootprints]

Great video, guys! Enjoyed you both getting a lot of screen and talk time together

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you guys for noticing that. It's taken yen a lil while to get used to being in front of the camera but I really think it's becoming more natural now too 🤔☺

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen Always takes time. Yen is great! You guys have a good dynamic

[@leishypoos5124]

You guys should go to bikanervala Lincoln road Auckland and get the Chinese platter and dosa platter it’s a full vegetarian restaurant with Indo Chinese recipes and is sooo delicious, the Lincoln road one is the best!!! I suggest these two platters because they give you the best taste of both :)

[@PeterandYen]

Aleisha thank you so much for the recommendation. We haven't been to bikanervala before and the platters sound awesome. Will be jotting this down for a future episode for sure 😍👌

[@xlifeofwai2024]

Love watching your food reviews. I have to try more foods from different cultures. The Ethiopian food looks interesting. Thanks guys :)

[@PeterandYen]

Introducing food from different cultures to people has gotta be one of our favourite things to do 😁👌 the Ethiopian food is amazing you have to try it next time you're back in New Zealand! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 😎✌

[@SundaiLove]

Omg everything looked soooo exotic and good!!!! I need to expand my diet. I love how y’all explain the taste and how is how to eat it

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Sundai surely your diet of Japanese Korean and American cuisines must be pretty varied? 😁 it was kinda tough explaining the food from this episode actually cause we're not super familiar with Lebanese food and Ethiopian well that's a whole new kettle if fish for us hahaha

[@SundaiLove]

Lol y’all still did a great job I was looking at the dishes like “ what the heck is that” lol so your explanations helped

[@TinanaDIY]

I love the way you guys describe flavors etc. so good! The first place looked amazing!

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Leah definitely needa try out cafe Abyssinia if you haven't yet already the tastes are amazing and the whole experience is a lot of fun. Thanks for the compliment ❤☺👏

[@PuriandSue]

Peter, how could you!!! Yen's like.. you ate my egg portion!! 😂 You guys are so adorable!! 😍

[@PeterandYen]

😂 you're great at reading the inner body language. I wanted to try the chicken but since yen had already done it I went for the next best thing which was the egg 😂 lucky for me yen is very forgiving with food hahahaha

[@FiveMinuteSneakerTV]

that...flatbread... looks.... amazing...but the bread is cold? definitely interesting. There is a local ethiopian restaurant here, maybe I should give them a try one of these days. Btw it's so odd to see you guys in summer season. It's freezing cold here haha. Flat noodles at the Malaysian restaurant looks bomb. I am a huge fan of Malaysian cuisine. I can't believe you guys are hitting up 3 restaurants back to back to back haha. True mukbang. Lebanese food delicious. We also have a few around here that I visit. Btw Dope small box logo Preme shirt Peter!

[@PeterandYen]

Yeah man the bread is cold and it's super interesting the flavour and texture is most likely like nothing you would have tried before. Hahahahaha not many people will pick up the small box logos I keep the branding to a minimum these days 😂 3 restaurants is pretty easy these days but on the episodes we do 4 it's a lil bit of a struggle hahahaha. Lebanese and Malaysian food was amazing too 👌

[@yow7988]

The bread is called Injera, normally it's not actually cold I see it's really hot there so the hot air will ruin the Injera so they had to put it in fridge that's why it's cold

[@tengu5737]

Love all the diverse food you can get in AKL these days. I used to live in Glen Eden and remember that train station near the cemetery there. Lol brings back memories.

[@PeterandYen]

That's definitely one of our favourite things about Auckland too. We had so much fun making this episode that we're planning another hidden gem type episode and there are some real unique spots we've found for part two 😁👍that Malaysian station was just awesome though yen was so happy to eat there hahahaha 😏👌

[@jolintruong6263]

This place is pretty, food really good

[@PeterandYen]

Hello Thu 😁🌿 hope you are having a great Sunday. So nice trying all these new restaurants we had a lot of fun making this episode 👍

[@CommunityToursAustralia]

Best Sunday wishes guys giving me inspiration for todays dinner..i think its time to get up from bed 🤗🤗🤗

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha is dinner ready yet? So lovely of Myriam to be making food for ya 😁👍

[@CommunityToursAustralia]

@@PeterandYen I been good boy....me help clean bathroom 🐒

[@nzaronoi4965]

Great video!!! Make more!!! Just more picture time on the food it self when explaining the food. Cheers!

[@TravelWithTorin]

I love how unique Ethiopian cuisine is. I remember I ate at an Ethiopian place when I lived in NYC long ago, and the platters were HUGE. Haven't had it since - this is a good find!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha the platters are equally huge here in New Zealand 😂 this was a really really filling hearty meal. Super happy we found it and tried it out cause it's an extremely unique flavour and style of cooking. Have a great week mate!

[@TravelWithTorin]

@@PeterandYen Yeah that vinegary/sour bread base and the eating with your hands is so much fun! Same to you both - keep crankin out the vids!

[@darylmckay]

It's always a pleasure to dive into your back catalogue :)

[@PeterandYen]

😂🤙 thanks Daryl we just came back from raglan so some travel vids coming back next week

[@darylmckay]

@@PeterandYen sweet!! 👍

[@Thirstytraveler41]

It is a very nice selection of food. Btw, thanks for sharing these interesting fun facts about New Zealand.

[@PeterandYen]

Hey hey happy Monday 😁✌ yeah we had a lot of fun with this day of unique eating. The facts sections are good for us too cause we end up learning a lot after all that googling 😂

[@xiaopingsong1240]

Good job gyus, thanks for sharing

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video have a lovely Sunday ❤

[@deetee6796]

What a diverse range of food to eat - love it!

[@PeterandYen]

Hi Dee glad you enjoyed the episode 😁👌 this one was super fun for us too cause trying new food is always a pleasure ☺ thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment ✌

[@TheHungryBlackPanda]

Yo a restaurant at a train station did I hear that right? How cool!! Dude that food looks amazing! That Chow Haw Fun looks yummy!!!

[@PeterandYen]

My bro you heard it right! The restaurant is the train station hahahaha 😂 pretty unique for new Zealand to have something like that. Really great Malaysian food too!

[@johngy40]

we just got back from doing the progressive dinner on your recommendation it was the highlight of our meals in rarotonga thanks guys.

[@PeterandYen]

O wow that's so awesome to hear! We're really happy that you followed the recommendation and even happier you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for letting us know too 😁👍 yen n I are both super excited reading this 😊

[@nazfromqueens]

A lot of food in one day. Nice! What a wonderful tour!!

[@PeterandYen]

Our bellies were extremely happy on this day 😁👌 glad you guys enjoyed the food tour 👍 good food is just so awesome especially when it's from somewhere you've never eaten before ☺

[@JOURNEYEXPRESS]

We know you guys love food.....it's nice to explore nice destination of food of different culture.....I like the way you explore different food options available in Auckland

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks guys! We would love to go around the world and explore food from everywhere but for now there are still plenty to eat in new Zealand hahahaha 😁🇳🇿

[@IAmNotANoob32]

That cafe looks so good you guys should try the Kabul house opposite it has really good Afghanistan food

[@PeterandYen]

Zeshan great idea! I was thinking the exact same thing when we left. Never had Afghanistan food before! Hmmmm something tells me there is gonna have to be a hidden gems part 2 hahahaha. Thank you for dropping by and leaving the comment 😁👌

[@FoodandFootprints]

Had to rewatch this one to see your first time reaction to Ethiopian food!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha managed to find a good Ethiopian place in Saigon after watching your video got the cravings

[@missymason2377]

Amazing amazing.....

[@PeterandYen]

This was one of our favorite best eats episodes to pull together currently thinking of a part two 😁👍

[@urcreatedbeautifully]

Food looks so good! I really really like Ethiopian food. It’s fermented! Like Roti bread to Fijians. I think it’s an acquired taste but I really like it!! The Malaysian food looks so good too! That humus looks so good. I’ve never tried the cucumber item, such beautiful presentation

[@PeterandYen]

We loved our first Ethiopian food experience. The flavours and uniqueness impressed us so much. From the injera bread to the chicken, veges and prawns. Just a taste sensation. But Malaysian still came through as yens favourite hahahaha. Lebanese was great too been meaning to try this place for so long 😁👌 thanks for watching!

[@missymason2377]

Never had opportunity to try Ethiopia food...thank you both for

[@PeterandYen]

Yes totally needa try some Ethiopian food. The flavor is like nothing we've ever had before so unique and delicious 💎

[@nazfromqueens]

Aww we get happy when we see Malaysian food now! Love your fun facts too!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha thanks guys we enjoy putting together the fun facts too. Yens always happy to see Malaysian food it's one of her favourites 😁

[@Taylord1111]

What, ok Cafe Abyssinia is definitely a hidden gem, didn't know this place was so close to home. I've never tried Ethopian food, looks like I will soon enough lol. That Malaysian dessert looks interesting! Awesome vlog guys 😀

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Harriet o yes totally you live so close. We didn't explain it but if you go with 1 person or 2 people they give you a smaller portion of bread and you can just choose one of the meats or veges to go with the food. Def give it a try and I think a lot more fun to be shared with a group 😁

[@lifewithayumi]

Newly joined your community! Looking forward to seeing more videos 😊

[@PeterandYen]

Hi Ayumi and Aaron thanks so much for joining 😁👍 hope you enjoy the videos that we make! Have a great week ✌

[@FoodandFootprints]

Haha funny thing is that Abyssinia is the name of our favorite Ethiopian restaurant in NYC!

[@PeterandYen]

hahahahaha wow seriously that's such a coincidence. Man so jelly of NYC 😳

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen One day you guys will check it out! In the meantime, you’re really doing your thing in Auckland and maxing out the food you can find there

[@FoodandFootprints]

Funny to see this comment now that we highlighted Abyssinia in NYC in our video 😂

[@emmali2265]

Hi Peter and Yen, I will definitely go and try all these foods, look very yummy. 😋

[@PeterandYen]

Hope you enjoy em, unfortunately the Ethiopian place has closed down now 😥

[@FrenchyByChelseaElizabeth]

Yum, everything looked delicious! 😃 I really need to try Ethiopian food. Another great video Peter and Yen! 👏🏻

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Chelsea definitely try it if you can it's an unforgettable dinning experience. We had a lot of fun this day trying new places think we needa do a round two hahahaha 🤔☺🤞

[@StewartVlogs]

Ethiopian mix plate looks amazing 😋 and a mixture of didn’t things. Nicely done you two. Loving the edits bro! I love some of that fried noodles too! Flat noodles are my favorite and we jus my had some 3 days ago. Ok ok next trip back August for the PolyFono we are doing a video of your top 3 spots in Auckland please!

[@PeterandYen]

Bro I'm so sad we won't be here for this year poly fono we'll be Singapore 😿 would have been awesome to catch up with you and the rest of the crew. The top 3 places as recommended by us would be mean hahahaha. You choose the 3 from the episodes I'm so curious as to which ones you guys would pick 😁

[@RudyVisuals]

Awesome food vlog as always from you guys! The Ethiopian food looks really interesting, gotta say a lot of people hype up Ethiopian food in London but we've never given it a try so definitely going to do that after seeing this video. Gotta give some love for that Nasi Lemak too, can never go wrong with that. God I am actually salivating as I type this comment haha 🤤🤤🤤

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahahaha salivating is good! Hope you got some good food afterwards though 😁 sounds like you have some great Ethiopian spots too hit up in London. Let us know what you think after you try it 🤔👌

[@PuriandSue]

That flatbread looks good!! Lol totally understand Peter's feeling of eating second while watching Yen eats 😂

[@PeterandYen]

hahahaha I can still remember the feeling of torture as yen at that first bite if injera with the chicken. After we filmed all of this it was the first thing I went for 😂😂😂

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Wow! Nice! I think our favourite would be the Lebanese! (we already tried before, but still, your dishes look great!)

[@PeterandYen]

Lebanese food is definitely awesome. Whenever we see a new placed pop up in Auckland with Lebanese food we get excited. It's usually time to round up the whole family and go eatttt hahahaha. Wonder where in the world you guys are now 😁👌

[@MundoQueAcontece]

HELLO FRIENDS! so interesting to see food from different countries, You guys are so adorable!! 😍 GREETINGS!

[@PeterandYen]

Lol thanks guys we love trying food from all over the world too. This one was a lot of fun to put together. Glad you enjoyed it ☺👌

[@HangryByNature]

We've never tried Ethiopian food before! You guys make it sound soooooo good, we need to find one in Melbs to try. I have to say your chemistry together on cam is really boomin - great energy and bouncing off each other! keep up the great work! Bro are you sponsored by Supreme? Always decked out in it, you need to hook me up 😂😂😂

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahahaha sup Andy 😁 I wish I was sponsored by supreme. I used to be a massive collector and over the years sold a lot of my stuff but kept all the small box logos cause they make for nice basic tees 😁👌 you guys should definitely check out some Ethiopian food joints if you get the chance the flavour is like noting we've ever had. It's def taken a while for yen and I to get better at talking together on camera that's really hard I think. Cheers bro!

[@ccsworldaustralia4332]

Hi Peter and Yen, all sound just delicious!! i never have had no Ethiopian food either, let see.....look and sound yummy , something new to try, cheers

[@PeterandYen]

Hey how's it going CC 😁✌ yes for sure all the restaurants in this episode were very tasty but we were especially happy to be able to try a new cuisine in the form of Ethiopian 😁 super delicious and yes definitely you should try it if you get the chance 👌

[@TheHungryBlackPanda]

Dude that take some ninja skills to jump backwards to the camera!!

[@PeterandYen]

😂😂😂 one day these shenanagin intros are gonna lead to injury 😳😂

[@nickandhelmi]

Hai - First!! 🐓 woke up too early today lol

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahahaha the legacy continues for another week 😂

[@ThatsDamesVLOGS]

Ooo food looks delicious 😍all the food is making me hungry at work 😂 Thanks for sharing . Definitely something I should try when I’m back in Nz .... YUMMMM

[@PeterandYen]

Back to work eh hahahaha. Can't be on those nice holidays all the time 😅 the food on this episode was bomb as all three are definitely worth a try 👌 put em on the bucket list 🔥

[@linnyunt]

The Ethiopian food looked the most interesting to me because I've never eaten it either. But the Lebanese looked amazing too. Again, something I don't really eat. So definitely looked great.

[@PeterandYen]

Hey lin! Hope you've been well. This was an extremely fun day of eating for us. Not foods that we will easily find in Auckland so always nice to try something different. Eating Ethiopian food was definitely an interesting experience our palettes have been treated to a whole new flavor spectrum 😁👍

[@gggg1690]

best food best coffe i love you from Ethiopia

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Gg Gg hard to argue with that cause after eating that meal we were in a super happy place 😁👏 amazing meal and we'll be back for sure everyone keeps asking us if we can go together hahahaha 👌 thanks for watching!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Yum Ethiopian coffee! Like the nice pot it was served from

[@PeterandYen]

The whole experience was just fantastic. Ever since this episode we've been recommending Ethiopian food to everyone. 😁🥂

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen For good reason!

[@ItsMiasWorld]

yummmm.You can tell Yen is getting better at describing the food lol defs need to check out that Ethiopian place out

[@PeterandYen]

Girl it's still struggle city 😂😂 maybe Peter's editing has just gotten better hahaha. Was lovely getting to meet you in person finally the other day btw!! ☺️♥️ - Yen

[@metalmunkey42]

I love Ethiopian food! Injera is my fave, like big flat sour crumpets. Next time you're in Sydney, check out the Ethiopian stall at lunchtime at the Fox Studios farmers market on Saturdays or Bondi Junction Farmers Market on Thursdays. It's great, and cheap :) Char kway teow is my fav too!

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Lynne hope you've been well ☺ great description of injera big flat sour crumpets is so spot on should have said that in our video hahahaha. Thank you for the recommendation too we will be sure to try that place out when we're in Sydney next! And of course always got love for that Malaysian food 👏😁

[@missymason2377]

Nice...would try it!

[@TheWorldnUs]

I want some of that Lebanese food!!! I’ve always loved it! And you’re absolutely right. Dips like hummus in the supermarket are not even close to as good as what you’ll get in a proper restaurant.

[@PeterandYen]

Guys Lebanese food must be perfect for you the vegetarian options are so so so good! Especially the egg plant related dishes. I would love to buy 1kg of that hummus and a bag of chips and go and watch a movie 😂😂😂

[@JourneywithAmit]

Great one again! feeling hungry now :)

[@PeterandYen]

hahahaha Amit these places were fantastic! so much good food was consumed on this day and on top of that discovered a bunch of new places around Auckland 😁👌

[@justinmatthew2549]

Hey guys, what’s the name of that Ethiopian dish (incl all the curries) and is it too big for Two people?

[@PeterandYen]

Hi Justin when you order each dish the restaurant will provide you with bread as part of the dish. So even if you order one it'll have the bread included. Doro wot - chicken Tibs - beef Yetsom beyaynetu - 3 veges And final one is prawns in curry All of them are delicious so depending on what meat you like go for gold 😁👌

[@justinmatthew2549]

Peter and Yen Thank you 🙂❤️

[@PeterandYen]

No worries hope you enjoy the food 😁👍 1 dish each for 2 ppl should be just right. If you're feeling super hungry go 3 hahaha

[@FoodandFootprints]

Injera is so good - has a nice sourdough flavor to it

[@PeterandYen]

Injera is just magical! The holey texture, the sponge like feel and then the sour taste... like nothing we've ever had before. The coffee was really snooth and nutty too... what a day 😁👍

[@SallyAndEd]

Hey guys 😄 sorry its been a while since we've seen one of your videos, we have been SO BUSY! How have you been? Ethiopian food is not what we expected! That flatbread looks really yummy, but I don't know how I would go eating with my hands 😂 I'm clumsy enough with a fork! OMG that massive plate of hummus was everything 😍😍 Cauliflower with raisins though?? Was that weird? Hope you guys are having a great week!

[@PeterandYen]

Hey guys it has been a while 😁 been quite the week for New Zealand. In general we've been great eating and doing some trips around north island. Ethiopian food is the best and eating with your hands is a must try experience. Cauliflower and raisins go really well together especially when the cauliflower is a lil burnt. Weeks well glad it's the weekend 😊👍

[@magickidstvjason]

Looks so good. Thanks

[@zoominasmr3825]

At the beginning of the video I thought that I would ask about the history of Aukland... But in the middle of the video, you guys have given some facts about Aukland.. Hahahahahaa.. We are one heart.. :D

[@zoominasmr3825]

*Auckland Hihihihihihiiii... :b

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahahaha we have always been on the same wavelength 😂 missed seeing you around glad you're back 😁 let's see if we can get sound bites to come back too 👍 hope you leaned something interesting about Auckland 👌

[@billyb5057]

so interesting to see food from different countries the Ethiopian food something we never tried had Malaysian and never tried Lebanese food either your guide to these foods will make us look for restuarants like that in Australia *😀🔍totally watched✅ supporting each other 🔎🎭✅ gave a like for you 👍🇦🇺👍😀*

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Billy 😁✌ yes definitely needa try some Ethiopian and Lebanese food. The cuisine from all three of these places were so uniquely different but you know what they had in common? All friggin delicious 👍

[@hawaztadesse7382]

in order to avoid the sour test u should rolled the injera with more d/t stew!

[@AmazingChiangMai]

The food 🥘 in the last place looked great 👍

[@PeterandYen]

Germayze street was a real Lebanese dining experience. Interesting location and delicious food you have great taste ☺👍

[@avalonchifan2930]

Y’all are awesome! 🤗 Food looks awesome 😋😋

[@PeterandYen]

First but not the last time we try Ethiopian food man it was the bomb. And also we are happy to add another bomb as Malaysian and Lebanese place to our list 😁👌 glad you enjoyed the episode ☺

[@TheGoodFoodandLifestyle]

[@PeterandYen]

Trying food from different cultures is our favorite thing to do. Yen n I are actually making a part two of this video right now 😁✌

[@gunnertravel]

hmmm, it looks yummy, i want to try this

[@PeterandYen]

Definitely encourage you to try all of these cuisines they are all delicious in their own right 😁✌

[@TravellersRelish]

Oh, I love injera yum yum😋😋. Awesome facts there about Ackland. Why did they change it from being the capital?

[@PeterandYen]

That is actually a great question lol 😅🤔🇳🇿 maybe it's time to add a new fact section and explain that hahaha

[@TravellersRelish]

@@PeterandYen Yea do that😀

[@eatsleeptravel7636]

Waoooo love this food . . .

[@PeterandYen]

Hey bro! How've you been? Need to see what you've been eating lately too hahahaha. Thanks for checking out this week's episode 😁👍

[@LizCuico]

Wow! I have never been to any of that place. 😊 how can you finish all those food in 1 day? Just wondering 🤣

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahahaha this is not too bad the only time we were a little challenged was for the ramen episode 4 ramen in 5 hours was a lil tough 😂 try the Ethiopian food Liz it's really yummy!

[@taurifleming1578]

Had to stop the clip and fill my belly, cause that was torture guys. Every dish was 🔥🔥 Think I'm a fan of deserts again 👌 To b fair, every dish was awesome In their own right but, for me my fav wud b the 1st restaurant. Ethiopian was it? Only because that looked like 1 mean barito to me. I'm glad that tortures ova. Cheers guys 👍 Think I'm hungry again

[@PeterandYen]

Hey bro! Hahahaha glad you enjoyed this one. Ethiopian food... that is just so cool that Aotearoa has a legit Ethiopian restaurant. The taste was so unique we loved it. Very different taste to Mexican though hahahaha. Hope you manage to get some good food in you 😂 thanks for watching and cracking us up with your comment 😂

[@SenjaAldee]

Ethiopian food.. woww.. thats different and so yummy kwetiau goreng hahahah and nasi lemak.. yummy all .. love that hahahh , the lebanese food is also so yummy.. hungryyy

[@PeterandYen]

Senja! Glad you enjoyed the episode 😁 yeah so much good food was enjoyed on this day. We had a lot of fun putting this one together cause it meant we got to try all be places ☺👌

[@missymason2377]

So good to know

[@PeterandYen]

Go New Zealand for having such a diverse melting pot of cultures. So cool to try food from different countries 👌😁

[@tevitap27vlogs31]

I love Ethiopian food, but not really a fan of their bread. Lol at “comforting bite” I always enjoy your commentary👍🏽👍🏽

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Tevita 😁✌ it feels so homely and warm and flavourful that it's comforting 😥👌 ooo I love that bread but can totally see how it's not for everyone because it's such ac different flavour.

[@NateVlog1]

Never had those kind of foods before ✨

[@PeterandYen]

Ethiopian was a first for us too but it was an awesome experience. Always good to be able to add another quality Malaysian and Lebanese restaurant to our food list 😁👌

[@FoodandFootprints]

Interesting that they topped the babaghanoush with pomegranate

[@PeterandYen]

That was a first for us as well. Honestly don't think that enhanced the flavour much at all. The babaganoush was silky and delicious already 😎👌

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen Love a great babaghanoush - one of the best we had was actually in our last video

[@thisisgenofeve]

Wow Ive never tried Ethiopian food. I was about to say does it taste similar to Indian food but Peter shut that right down lol. I think I’m gonna go look for an Ethiopian restaurant. Wait, was Auckland once the Capital city? I was born and raised there for 17 years and I did not know that 😂 Ps I’m booking my flight to Raro tonight. We arrive on the 2nd but at like 9pm. Hopefully I get to catch you guys ✌🏼

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Gen! That means we have a chance to catch up on the 3rd or 4th yay! Gonna message ya to see what we can organise 😁✌ looking to that! Yes definitely try Ethiopian food it's such a unique experience. Hahahaha honestly I didn't remember the fact about Auckland being the capital either 😂

[@PeterandYen]

O wait is the wedding on the 3rd or 4th hahahaha either way we will fugue stuff out 😁🖖

[@thisisgenofeve]

Peter and Yen no the wedding is on the 5th. I don’t really have a schedule at the moment so I’m free as a bumble bee (for now anyway)

[@PeterandYen]

Ooo sweet! That's plenty of time glad you're coming a lot earlier now 👌

[@thisisgenofeve]

Peter and Yen Coolio! Super stoked I get to actually meet you guys. Have an awesome week 🤙🏼

[@FoodandFootprints]

Auckland facts!

[@PeterandYen]

You guys have any travel plans this year???

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen Still figuring those out. I (Greg) am going to Greece in a few weeks to visit family. First time in 5 years

[@PeterandYen]

Oooooo that sounds like a lot of fun! Hope you're gonna bring the camera around too for some Greek food vlogs 👌 it's a place on our bucket list of countries to visit for sure. It's been 7 years since I've been back to China my hometown too. Needa go visit my gran this year 😁

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen Not this time. Just me (Greg). Will be doing plenty of research for when Jumi and I go together though!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Dig your style on eating the egg in the nasi lemak with the sambal and ikan bilis. Another one biter haha

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahahaha one biter everything 😂 that egg is normally pretty plain so it's only right to add all the elements on the plate to it 👌

[@nickandhelmi]

Traditional coffee i thought it was sisha for a second lol

[@PeterandYen]

😂 yeah it is a super unique looking tea pot right. African pottery is super cool. Needa go back there we miss the bread 😁👌

[@GustheStruggleBus]

All of this food look amazing, but I think my favorite one was Ethiopian food. any food that you have to eat with your hands alone has to be four flavors!!

[@PeterandYen]

Ethiopian food is so good it was our first time trying it but certainly won't be the last time. It's not only delicious but eating it in a big group with your hands ads to the fun 😁👏👌

[@SenjaAldee]

are your channel under review now?

[@PeterandYen]

We decided to keep the channel ad free for now Senja 😁 approved last year 👌

[@CommunityToursAustralia]
