ARUBA Local Food 🇦🇼 What to try while you are here

[@meethed]

As a Canadian (and from the Ottawa area), I would suggest trying Alfie's in Oranjestad. Try a Canadian dish like Poutine!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

I have a really really old video on the Alfie's It was like my 2nd vlog ever😊But would love to and have been thinking of filming there again. I am saving for a new camera so I can do that👍🏼

[@carolmiller7640]

So happy to see a video like this! I have been coming to your beautiful Island for 20 years and really enjoy the local cuisine! My husband has had the goat stew and loved it, I tried the conch stew from Young Fellow's and thought is was rich, thick and yummy! I'll be returning in a few days and want to try the Mauby drink, sounds intriguing! Thank you again and hope to meet you and Marlene!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Conch is also one of my favorite. Will look for it next time.

I am SO happy you stopped by Ora’s Restaurant! When I saw you were there, I yelled to my husband, “Hyro is at ORA’S!!!” She is such an amazing person, and an even better cook! I think we had dinner there 4 times on our last trip! We are coming back to Aruba in September and can’t wait to see her- and hope to see you and Marleen at the Tuesday art market as well! Looking forward to your video featuring Ora’s food in the future! 🇦🇼 ❤️

[@LetsgowithHyro]

😊 We'll try her food another time. Heard great things about it✨

[@vinchino]

As a foodie person myself, I would love to eat that Jambo okra soup, the stew goat, and the cow tongue. Cow tongue is super underrated, one of the best cut ever of a cow

[@LetsgowithHyro]

💯Yes, couldn't agree more!

[@paulhofstede3247]

Dank je Hyro. Ik ben gisteravond aangekomen op Aruba, weer wat lekkers om te proberen 😋 Wie weet kom ik je nog tegen

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Nice to meet you the other night!

[@paulhofstede3247]

@@LetsgowithHyro Het was zeker gezellig Hyro en Marleen. Gister weer terug in NL.

[@note4158]

We love the local food. But why don't we ever see you at Ora's Bar and Rest in San Nicholas? Amazing Ox Tail !!!! We have had so many dishes there, and she treats people like family. Too funny, love her.. should have finished watching.

[@AbuelaBenitez]

Ora’s!!! She is such a beautiful soul. We ate there a few weeks ago. I can’t wait to go back next time I go to Aruba. I was so happy to see you post about her place!

[@WendyT311]

He and Marleen are going back to Ora’s in the near future and doing another video featuring her food which is great! We small love her and her food- can’t wait to see her in September!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

😊No problem, thanks for continue watching. Ora's great! We'll be back.

[@Busybeeee]

You can never go wrong with food videos and this one was really great! I love hearing about the local places, and I also love seeing you both interact with the locals and speaking to them in the local languages. Although I don’t eat fish, I would certainly get out of my comfort zone to try the okra stew. The sliminess is a texture that is very popular and loved in so many cultures and I have learned to appreciate it as well. Nice to see you both happy and healthy Hyro and Marleen .😊

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. It was so much fun filming this one☺️ Happy to read all of the comments. Hope you are able to try the Okra soup one day.

[@pinoynation4583]

That goat stew looks delicious. Reminds me of a dish here in the Philippines called 'goat caldereta' 😊.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

It sure was!

[@omarviquezrodriguez326]

PURA VIDA HYRO...💥👍........Este tipo de video de Aruba estan geniales y muy informativos para seguirle el restro a los lugares donde comer de una mejor manera......TUANIS !!!!! Dios les bendiga. Saludos desde Costa Rica.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Con muchisimo gusto Omar, saludos🙌🏼🏝️

[@AbuelaBenitez]

So glad you went to Ora’s!

[@WendyT311]

My husband and I LOVE Ora! She is so nice and her food is awesome! Can’t wait until Hyro does the video featuring Ora’s food! We are coming to Aruba in September and will probably eat several meals at her restaurant! :)

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Next time for food😊✨

[@donna4795]

Hey Hyro, Great Video., Marlene had me dying of laughter about the okersoup. Tell her Shes really missing out. Okersoup is so so good. My Family and I visited Aruba last year and I tried the goat soup, it ws good. We plan to come back soon and try more local dishes. Whenevr were there we never wnt to leave. Love the Island❤

[@LetsgowithHyro]

😊Yeah, I can see why people have difficulty eating it but for me it's delicious👌🏼

[@siouxsiekock1382]

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Hi, ok danki mi lo buske☺️👍🏼

[@arontravel1307]

I love the cabrito stoba also the lenga stoba from Sky Lake! I usually go to sky lake whenever I am on the island! The oxtail is also Delicious there. I love the setup with the table in nature! Keep These vlogs coming🤩

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks Aron, we will😊

[@claudiavandenbroek]

Okersoep is heerlijk en super gezond en bovendien goed voor je bloed! Zeker met visbouillon en spinazie mjamm

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Yes🙌🏼😊

[@ruudj22]

Hoi Hyro en Marleen Wij waren in januari en februari in oranjestad en hebben ook in het eerste restaurant geit gegeten , was heerlijk Gr. Ruud en Marianne Wijk bij Duurstede Nederland

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Hoi, super leuk! Groetjes

[@isilenidisla3208]

The goat looks so delicious 🐐

[@LetsgowithHyro]

It was!

[@JaneScheidler]

Hey Hyro, We got some Mauby in January and for all your American (and maybe others 😃) it’s very similar to Kombucha 👍

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Great! Thanks for the info my friend!

[@CuldesacNYC]

My top 3 when I was there have to be, in no particular order: Lionfish Snack Shack Indo Colorado Shack

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@greggtex9886]

Love this video. Ora is wonderful. I had her slimy stew a couple of years ago. Loved it! Can't wait to try the Mauby.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thank you so much. We'll be back there!

[@ChristineWilson58]

I would love to go on a local food tour with you. I love eating different kinds of food and will try anything. Love goat, usually have it in indian food and grew up eating tongue too.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Sounds great, maybe one day!

[@geroldenilonavancharante720]

Hallo Hyro en Marleen ik heb nog nooit geiten vlees gegeten zal het restaurant noteren en zal het volgend jaar als we er weer zijn bestellen. Groetjes Gerold.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Leuk, geniet ervan😊👌🏼

[@carleanoscarroll]

Hyro. I would try everything accept the Tongue stew. The soup and the drink are healthy. I would definitely try them the most.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Good to know :-)

[@funnygal4u2]

I’m always down for trying some local food in places I have visited. My dad was from Italy and he would make goat roasted with potatoes and garlic, it was delicious.. I have never had tongue, and would be afraid, BUT, that tongue dish you were eating looked really good. I would have no problem trying it. You lost me at the soup though lmaoo…. I’m with Marlen on that! I Will be in Aruba in 3 weeks! I’m gonna keep my eyes open in case you are both in the area where we are staying! Hope this finds you both in good health!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

😝I can see most have a problem with the soup🤭 Tongue is one of my favorites, I eat it about once a month. Hope to see you soon.

[@jokevandokkum104]

In januari was ik in Senegal, daar at ik idd okrasoep, Kandhja, het wordt o.a. gemaakt met vis, okra en palmolie. Het was zeker niet mijn favoriete maaltijd.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Super interesant!!

[@TheMTNestahz]

She’s too funny 😂

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Sure did her best :-)

[@beautifulbelcj]

Hello Mr. hyro. We will be in Aruba in August and we'll stay at the Ritz. are there any restaurants near the Ritz that are walking distance? Which ones would you recommend near that area? Thank you!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Hello there, you would have to check out the Palm Beach area. There are many to choose from.

[@Cyberdemon1985]

I am from a Greek background. I will like to add about the difference between lamb and goat. The lamb is a farm animal raised on a farm. It is full of fat (cholesterol watchers beware) and has a noticeable heavy lamb taste (because of the fat). The goat, however, is the same as the lamb with a difference since goats are raised in mountain areas they're very active animals. Thus, they are very low on fat, and they have almost zero cholesterol. They are a go-to choice if you count your cholesterol levels. Also, since there is almost no fat, the taste is not as potent as lamb. Thus, if someone doesn't like the lamb, they would prefer the goat. The stew that you saw on the video is the same as the greek recipe made with tomato paste and other Mediterranean spices such as oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bon appetit...

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thank you so much for the explanation!👌🏼

[@GuerlineOscar-c2s]

I would like to live in Aruba,I love it very much, but there is no possibility,you could not help me to do this please

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Not sure how😊

[@kathleensorajakarsodikromo3858]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks!

[@chrispintaric9459]

No thank you for slimy fishy soup, tongue stew is ok. Love Johny cakes. Goat is good, had that many times.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Fair enough my friend :-)

[@GuerlineOscar-c2s]

Helo

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Hi there!

[@Arjay404]

Oof, Jambo, Marleen is DEFINITELY not going to eat that, I hated jambo growing up.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Haha, most hate it!

[@ronalbers3152]

Before I put food in my mouth it has to pass the eye & nose appeal test.Probably could do the goat but the soup and tongue is a hell No! Wife would fight you over the soup.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Haha I fully understand it my friend🤭😝 I will eat just about everything once. Sometimes you can be surprised☺️

[@joshuabritt5677]

Bro, this video had laughing pretty good. You and Marleen reminded me of pagie and I when it comes to eating. I eat everything from rattlesnake to Nutria rat. Pagies like hell no, I'm not eating that. Great video bro. Had us laughing. 😂😂

[@LetsgowithHyro]

It was fun making it for you all🙌🏼😝We had lots of funny moments. I actually love all that food and hope to bring more of this in the future. Our regards to Pagie🤗

[@mortimersnerd1348]

My opinion of the Jambo soup hasn't changed. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! Glad you enjoyed it, but I side with Marlene on this one.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

😂🤭I understand my friend, Marleen would not have any of it😅
