Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

Puerto Rican food is so bomb. I grew up with it in nyc and have been hooked forever. I finally visited on vacation in November and had the best mofongo I’ve ever had in San Juan at this spot called Muelle 13. It’s on the same block as Raices where all the tourists go. Sooo good! Omg I almost forgot, the Pina coladas were 🔥🔥🔥

[@normagonzalez7470]

Next time go to "Mojitos" and try other ways of eating rice and other kind of beans. Try the thin steak with sauteé onion, rice with white small beans. By the way, our food is not tacos. That's mexican. And each hispanic is not the same thing.

I would 100% go to Puerto Rico just to eat Caiman and Iguana. The view, people and whole vibe would just be an amazing bonus.

[@normagonzalez7470]

It's not our delicacy. We don't eat that. Is just that place.

[@OldeVikingOriginal]

@@normagonzalez7470 No of course, there seems to be many different and delicious things to try there. But, what I meant was that in case Iguana and Caiman become staple foods, I wouldn't say no to go there to try it out.

[@thesuncollective1475]

I have been to Puerto Rico, it's charming, vibrant and the food is amazing!

[@HighPoweExpress]

I do follow you to different countries, I'm glad you was able to visit my island this time. I would like to highlight that in Puerto Rico we don't call it "Tamales", instead we call it "PASTELES". Pastel means "Cake", meaning a cake made out of green plantains. Tamales are made in Mexico and Cuba with corn flour instead. They are both very similar, Tamales are wrapped with a corn leaf and Pasteles are wrapped with a banana leaf. Tamales are steamed upright , while Pasteles are cooked boiled in the water. The other highlights are the "PASTELILLOS", which are also called "EMPANADILLAS" in different parts of the island. You were right when you said that it was like an "EMPANADA". The name empanadilla means a small empanada. We use both names around the island and the funny thing is people fight (in a funny way) which one is the correct name since we grew up with one of those names. My dad was from Spain and my mother from Puerto RIco, knowing both cultures, personally I think "Empanadillas" are the most accurate one because the root of the word is "Empanada" which in Spain means "stuffed pie". "Empanadas" in Puerto Rico are like the "Pasteles" that you ate but made out casaba and cooked in the oven. The word "Pastelillo" comes from the word "Pastel" that in Spain and Mexico means "Cake", like a birthday cake. Also, in the island we have a conflict with the word "Pastellillo" because on a bakery they will referring for a desert that make kind looks like a croissant with guava. So in conclusion, we accept both names, but be aware that depending where you go, you may find both names for the same thing or may get some thing different. Ask if you have any doubt, we like to help, we don't mind at all to answer any questions. For those that want to try the Empanadillas in the USA, in the supermarket frozen Goya brand section, they sell the dough discs where you can take it home and stuff it with whatever you like, from just plain American cheese to your preferred meat or seafood, just fold it in a moon shape, use a fork to seal the edges and deep fry, a quick snack meal. Don't buy the Goya already made frozen ones, those are not that great, make better your own. I do like to add pepperoni, pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese, those is awesome for the American taste and super easy to make. Note Tips: As any country, as you get out of the tourist area, the better the people and the food quality. If you enjoyed the east side, imagine the west side, that is even better waters. North the island is windy, the Atlantic Ocean is great for surfing, high altitude rocky shores, nice sceneries like in the Pirates Of the Caribbean. The South of the island is the Caribbean sea, it has calm waters, calm winds, slow water tide, so it is hotter and have extended beaches, better for boat cruise, sun tan, jet ski and fishing. East and West kind is a mixture of both depending how close you are to one of the waters, the best sea food. The center is high mountains, cooler, a lot of vegetation, fruits, zip line, horse rides, four tracks, the best pork meat food. We are all friendly, mostly speaks English and Spanish, we treat you as we know you for long time and like to talk a lot (LOL). As away from the capital you be, the friendlier the people are and the best quality living you get. The old San Juan is pretty, very guard by the police, but if you around in the whole capital, like any other country, you may end in a not that good area. As the center/west you get, away from San Juan, less worry you will be and better it is all in general.

[@francheskarosado-sandoval3252]

One small thing to add, Pasteles are not cooked the same as Tamales. Tamales are steamed upright , while Pasteles are cooked boiled in the water.

[@HighPoweExpress]

I did not know Tamales are cook under steam. Thanks, I did learn something new today.@@francheskarosado-sandoval3252

[@rustyfan89]

The tourism board should use this video for its visit P.R. campaign as I’ve never really been interested in going there but after watching not only did I get really hungry but now I want to go to Puerto Rico

C'mon!!! You are going to have a great time here. Be careful with politicians, those are thrash, people is lovely, we are lovely.😉

[@georginaaponte1133]

Thank you for visiting the island and showing the amazing people that live in there, but we don’t make tamales, which are made with corn masa,we make pasteles which are made with different varieties of vegetables and root vegetables, please called it for what it is pasteles, and thank for the PR , that’s love

[@anthonnybrownnn9760]

Love your food show I think It's great. 👍👍.What do u think guys?

[@arodramos]

Puerto Rico is indeed a country that happens to be a colony of the United States. Kan-Kan refers to a style of skirts used by women until the 1960's.

[@MiguelGonzalez-nv2rt]

The 'puertorrican Tamales" as you call em we call them in the island as pasteles de masa, there are also some who are made from rice

[@ranciselle3687]

I love seeing Oro with Sonny! Definitely a good food review Duo!

[@MrWatchman62]

I an second generation born an American Puertorican , Bronx NYC. My grand parents, from my mother and father are from Puerto Rico. Hence as I watch this pod cast and the showing of my heritage. My eyes teared up. I feel so proud, yet so sad, as if something was stolen from my soul because I was born and raised in the United States. I am ashamed that I don't flow as Boriqueno people do when it comes to speaking our dialect of Spanish, my spirit feels as if there is a whole in it, ( Though Christ has filled it up) but do I tear up sometimes and don't know why when I hear the language and music. I grew up eating all these dishes that have been show on this show, before my mother and father divorced and the family,s got swallowed up by the American dream. I hope to go live their one day and maybe I can get what I feel was stolen from me. But being a sold out father to my children, all my time and money has gone to being a father. And now, fatherhood has taken me to live in the Philippines for the past 8 years. One day I hope to go to my blood land. Thanks for this pod cast! 🙂

1:00:55 I found trifongo tastier than mofongo. Soooooooooo good - seafood cocktail - more like a cerviche than the name would suggest - mine had octopus, conch and shrimp, sooooooo good.

[@normagonzalez7470]

By the way, the mofongo was a side complement at the beguining, not stuffed. Was usually use to complement our savory asopaos (Gumbo kind of soup) and the size was small. The mofongo had in the original recipe, pork rinds and garlic, all smash and made in a ball shape.
