Wow. Just noticed the typo in the title. He's a Pastry Chef. Not a Pasty Chef. Err...

[@haixinh1181]

Simon and Martina hahahha

[@mishumydog]

Simon and Martina 😂

[@ShadowLynx516]

wow!! great timing!!! watching this with my lunch..finally A FAPFAP where i'm not dying of hunger :D

[@lilyj.thomas4555]

I definitely took like four or five takes over the title. I thought I was having issues again... nothing new there though.

[@blameitonablackstar]

I'm a pasty wannabe chef ;)

[@em-cp9zg]

watched the ads before the video. hope it counts towards simon being able to buy expensive grapes for the next video!

[@farhanrahman9331]

Dude an awesome person on their live stream yesterday donated $200 for those expensive af grapes

[@mysteryreadertheoriginal2145]

HOLY SHIT!

[@TheBisexualMermaid]

It was awesome! Everyone in the comments saw it and we were chanting "Grapes grapes grapes" over and over. Simon and Martina were just like "Well now we have to do it."

[@farhanrahman9331]

IKR that was the second best live steam other than the marriage proposal live stream

[@thatonechickwiththeface5492]

Emily Loh DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM!!! lol

[@ManyBerry]

I hope the pasty chef gets some sun soon

[@eatyourkimchi]

He's been avoiding the outdoors for a while now.

[@crisramirezbeats9575]

Simon is gonna be a food critic in the future confirmed.

[@eatyourkimchi]

I'm actually really liking how we're learning about food, different tastes, and all :D

[@joakimcalvo717]

Simon and Martina i love you guuuys sooo muuuuch

[@talithahapsari2288]

Cristian MexicanLastName I think he had that experience in Running Man, where Simon and Martina become the judge 😂

[@eatyourkimchi]

We visit Dominique Ansel Bakery Tokyo, the 2017 World’s Best Pastry Chef and eat the limited Watermelon Ice Cream Sandwiches, Corn-on-the-cob ice cream, and Frozen S'More.

[@TheLuja11]

meanwhile poor Meemers is training and doing a diet hahaha jk love you guys!!

[@shivitamohan6244]

Simon and Martina I just have to say, Martina is just too pretty. Simon...you aight.

[@wongjefx980]

Simon and Martina the s'more looks awesome. Wondering if these sweets were designed for the Japanese market only.

[@achanwahn]

corn-on-the-cob ice cream is just ... no. just no.

[@Kiekerz]

In Ohio we have Jeni's ice cream, artisanal, made mostly from local ingredients, and in the summer they have a sweet corn with blackberries flavored ice cream that is delicious. There's also the seasonal goat cheese with cognac fig sauce ice cream which is amazing, and I don't like goat cheese.

[@misscandle]

So, sorry if I just don't check out you/your husband enough guys. But like, I'm just now noticing. Simon! You look super buff now! Are you able to carry Martina with ease like a true Dothraki yet? :D

[@eatyourkimchi]

I'm not as strong as I want to be, but I'm getting there!

[@misscandle]

Gurl, you got this Simon. Fighting!

[@manach1643]

Right? and Martina is looking goooooooood! you guys , the hard work is paying off, and its making me not miss any gym time, and eat clean and get back onntrack, one step in the ladder at a time

[@yileng1710]

Mana C

[@ariavell9656]

Let's take a time to appreciate the "Pasty chef" title until they inevitably fix it.

[@eatyourkimchi]

It should be fixed by now!

[@ariavell9656]

Simon and Martina I already miss it lol 😂

[@sammygocrazy]

Oh man the watermelon AND ice cream? What a dream. Totally gonna enjoy this.

[@buriedberry]

On the sign outside, I thought it said the What-a-Melon was 7000¥ instead of 1000¥. I thought we were all gonna have to rewatch all your videos and click the ads to help you pay for it.

[@grosebud4721]

bunniedalive same! I was like i wanted to go get that so bad if I ever go to Japan but if it’s $70!!! I don’t know if I could! But it’s good to know it’s only $10 lol

[@eatyourkimchi]

Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! What was the best thing you did this weekend?

[@ilovejb2793]

Simon and Martina the best thing I did was win the lottery! 500$ towards my student loans ^.^

[@bienenriquez6667]

Simon and Martina Ate chinese food I can't pronounce the name of! Booked my flight and airbnb for kansai! Please do a kansai tour please please!

[@felisheki]

Simon and Martina Yahoo~ xD

[@Bwells52897]

Simon and Martina Snow cones in the hot summer heat!

[@TheLuja11]

literally I stayed at home, watched anime and a bunch of your videos hahahaha i love rainy weekends

[@syfydragon]

I'm so jelly. I'm a newby pastry chef/baker (only graduated a year ago) and I fell in love with Dominique Ansel after reading his book. He talks about the frozen smores in the book and even life lessons of sorts. Totally recommend reading his cookbook Simon and Martina!

[@eatyourkimchi]

We saw the cookbook there as well. I didn't think about checking it out, but now it sounds fascinating. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@cecec00]

Honestly I love going through your guys older videos and seeing how much you content has improved. Don't get me wrong, it's always be FABULOUS, but you guys have stepped up your game. Keep up the good work! 😊

[@CycocelVocalist]

everything is right in the world when there's new Simon & Martina videos LOVE FROM NASTY NEW ZEALAND

[@gabbyhogan2336]

My notif said world's best pasty chef and I was like WUTTT BUT IT'S THE AMAZING BAKERY omg I love pastry chefs, and their art and I'm so happy for you that you got to go there

[@TheEndeavoringFamily]

Now, I REALLY, REALLY want to go to Japan. You guys convinced us to come to Korea... and now this... lol

[@kisamimi]

The Endeavoring Family its worth it!! Japanese convenience store food is soo good and cheap too lol

[@chasetamanaha51]

Why can't we have this anywhere else ☹️☹️☹️

[@angelus77300]

Actually the pastry chef is french and live in USA. He has bakeries in Japan, US and France like a lot of french pastry chefs

[@mnlxlover00]

That What-A-Melon dessert reminds me of the ice creams I used to get when I lived in Spain; they would cut out the insides of oranges/lemons and then put either fruits' sorbet insides (instead of the actual fruit), it was one of my favorites! Another great video by the way. 🙌🏻

[@ronsolo2250]

It amuses me to no end that while Martina starts talking Simon is steady scarfing uncontrollably. Y'all are the best!

[@dawnbright8214]

My family and I went there early this year. And it's worth every yen and calorie. Hands down the best pastry shop in Tokyo

[@hannahgandon]

Pasty chef?😂😂

[@eatyourkimchi]

He's so pasty!

[@giraffintosh]

pastry-making nasties = pasties?

[@kimmyk4347]

So glad that you guys went here!!! This looks amazing!

[@allegrettopines7257]

Simon is 90% ice cream

[@lindanguyen3031]

The Dothtaki man warrior cannot use the tiny spoon.

[@NovaLaMason]

*Dothraki

[@toriad9848]

I love you guys for going through all this hard work just to help make my holiday better! You're so good to me.

[@doglvr158]

Martina and Simon, you two are such an inspiration. You brighten all my days, and Martina, your ladder is getting so tall!

[@soul_asmr]

I ASKED FOR THIS ONE ON TWITTER!!!!!! I could NOT BE MORE EXCITED, I LOVE YOU GUYS 😭💖😭💖😍💖😭💖💖💖💖

[@eatyourkimchi]

:D

[@Yeepride987]

Is that a $70 or $10 slice of watermelon with Ice cream? Martina isn't freaking out so its gotta be the cheaper one. I love you guys

[@lowtide3636]

Yeepride987 it's 10 dollars

[@meld1177]

I watched this with my mouth open.... drooling. Thanks for tormenting me with your awesome videos!

[@narwhal_dust5458]

[@bagushr6501]

[@buddyfan1234]

Hi Simon and Martina! I just wanted to let you know that you guys make me so happy and that you make my shitty days ten times better! Your enthusiasm enables me to believe that there is so much good in this world! Please keep on doing what you are doing!

[@luvaof2pm]

The excitement I feel when I see that Simon and Martina has uploaded a video is unreal. I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS.

[@dstixcutie8583]

You know your early when you watch it before the pastry edit lol

[@iJankii]

When you get a notification after starting to watch the video.

[@fairyraider8419]

Jan Sánchez Bonilla lol same here

[@user-lb2ui3op8v]

The joy that flows through my body every time I see a video from you guys isn't describable 😃❤️

[@jasminecamacho2667]

Yay!!!! I love your videos! They always brighten up my day! Thank you guys!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@leftov3r]

No cookie shot, no cronut? I demand a re-shoot!

[@eatyourkimchi]

OMG I guess we'll just have to! For science!

[@jlh628]

Lmao, "girl we're here, get back in line!"

[@mountainguy4710]

You guys are so fun & hilarious & the dynamics between you two... Am a fan!

[@zeechops401]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@Readera]

I love salted watermelon! It is my favorite way to eat it. :)

[@JamesStuber]

...but where are the pastries?

[@Ghostshroom]

JS Right? I mean.. What they had looked good and all, but ice cream from the world's best pastry chef is a bit like pizza from the world's best burger joint. Still might be good, but it kinda beats the point.

[@awaketogrey]

that's what i was wondering. from the thumbnail i thought the watermelon was gonna be some kind of baked good. kind of strange to go to a bakery renowned for their pastries and skip out on them.

[@misscandle]

Actually, the fact that there weren't ANY pastries in this "pastry" video bothered me so much that, even 10 hours after watching the video, just now came back to check the comments and see if anyone else has noticed that. (I'm not angry, it was just nagging at me. Like breh... WHERE ARE THE PASTRIES IN THIS PASTRY SHOP!?"

[@awaketogrey]

+Milkheart LOL!

[@NotAnotherKuromi]

Apparently the title covers anyone who creates: pastries, desserts & other baked goods... Kinda a misleading title tbh!

[@sheenamartin6157]

Love every you guys make! All of these places end up in my bucket list!

[@lil_squishy]

I saw a video about this place on facebook and I kept trying to find a way to tell you guys about it. So glad you guys made a video!

[@Ollie_2024]

Just got so excited seeing the notification 😊

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

i would have liked the cream of corn ice-cream!

[@LaynieFingers]

I haven't watched it yet, but I wanted to tell you how happy your videos make me. This has been a sucky year - my entire area flooded horrifically last August (my parents lost everything, my dad, mom, and stepmother lived in a hotel for months and my dad and stepmom are still living in a FEMA trailer), we lived with my husband's sister for two months, then when we got to move home I fell off my front porch and damaged my knee in November. I had surgery on it in February and started physical therapy, but because I have fibromyalgia that wound up being one step forward then two steps back. Just when I thought I was about to get over stuff I got shingles, and I've been struggling with that for over a month. I don't need a ladder, I need a damn forklift! But thankfully you guys are part of my life preserver. I see you've posted a new video and I get happy. I see Meems and I get happy. Your content just makes my life more tolerable, and I wanted you to know that. I hope things get easier for both of you as well... Not only is chronic pain hard on the person having i9, it's hard for those who love them to see. Thanks for helping me get through the lifesuck.

[@chipet39]

Finally early on a video!! Love you, guys!

[@TheScalicis]

Wow- this is so cool, Simon & Martina! I always love watching your videos! We have a Dominique Ansel location in NYC. We went and tried there cookie shots & frozen s'mores a little while ago. After watching your video, I looked to see if our location has the What-A-Melon, but unfortunately they only featured it during the 4th of July weekend!! Waaahh :( I hope they get it in again, because now I totally wanna try it! If you wanna see our experience with the cookie shot- you can check out our "COOKIE SHOTS & FROZEN S'MORES" video. One thing I will say is, Rob's cookie shot glass leaked a bit haha. You kinda have to drink them fast or they start to soak through.

[@Alice429800]

OMG I JUST CHECKED TOO!!!

[@TheScalicis]

@cheshire26 I was so disappointed!! Why such a short time, right?! Are you from NY?

[@Alice429800]

Yeah! I live in NYC! :) I wish I knew about the What-A-Melon before!!! I'm planning on going sometime the rest of the week to try the Frozen Marshmallow. I've had their cronuts and their madelines (freshly baked!) are delicious! I've also had some of their other cakes as well. But I've never gotten anything else from the menu. Also their breakfast sandwiches are BOMB!!!

[@TheScalicis]

Aw nice! Yeah we've had the frozen s'mores there, but missed their cronut (gotta get there super early). The madelines sound amazing- haven't tried those yet. Hope they bring back the What-A-Melon!! Wanna try it so bad :)

[@daisydarlinq14]

You guys know you are awsome when your fans actually watch the ads to help pay for simons fancy grapes

[@nighthawkdragonfly8339]

Omg everything looks soooo good. Thanks for the love of science and being able to share with us. Love you guys so much. Your humor is awesome sauce

[@brittnothing]

This video was incredible! Martina I'm so glad you're starting to feel better and on the mend. Simon, you already know your woman is incredible, and thank you for being so incredible as well! 💖💖💖🐙🐙

[@ambergreenstaff]

does dan get a bite of everything? i've always wondered

[@eatyourkimchi]

Of course! We bought him some of his own things to eat after filming.

[@closinginclose]

oh honey

[@marianavalero628]

Haha I'm coincidently eating watermelon while watching this

[@nguyea09]

I love how honest these video's are. Media/Personalities these days seem to gratify everything i.e. restaurants, band acts, food etc;

[@sdg7799]

I saw a video about this place on facebook, and my first thought was hoping you guys would go there. I love your videos so much!❤❤

[@bellanguyen8769]

Feed Dan! Dan deserves to eat delicious food too! #FeedDan2k17

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Bella Nguyen he was fed after the shoot :)

[@bellanguyen8769]

Simon and Martina Omg! I did not expect to get a response! I'm so happy!

[@ohsnapitsneela4522]

I saw the title and then looked at the thumbnail and thought, "That's not a pasty...." xDD

[@biancawagner611]

Love you guys so much ❤️❤️

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

I saw this on my twitter feed and was just about to pass the info onto you two. Great tummies think alike!!!!! This was a delectable eye feast. Thank you for taking me with you on your superb food adventures!!!! Foodgasm happened

[@awaketogrey]

creme de la corn... is japan as obsessed with corn as korea is?

[@beccagrube6496]

Omg I suggested this to you guys, or I'm at least one of the people who did :D

[@angelam3576]

I swear the quality of your videos amaze me!! ❤ Love your vids and can't wait for that grapes episode 😜

[@madelined7163]

Wooo! Here after 35 minutes of you guys posting!! It all looks so yummy! By the way you guys are so an inspiration to me! You guys teach me to enjoy life more! (:

[@fairyraider8419]

Okay so I just gained weight watching this.

[@TetrathepirateM]

I just have to pause here (1:00) and say, DANG, Simon... your arms are getting swol !! Good Job! You Dothraki Man Warrior you!!! You'll be able to throw Martina- I mean... delicately pick up Martina and carry her anywhere in no time! ;)

[@SshadysS]

Guuuuyyysss Where have you been my whole lifeee, I just recently found you (because I tend to watch a lot of videos about japan) and I ALREADY LOVE YOU SO MUCH! you seem so nice and friendly

[@geowiz9436]

Finally a place I've actually been to in these videos! I went to the Dominique Ansel bakery in New York City about 3 1/2 years ago. The Frozen S'more was incredible!

[@tdolan500]

Right, so I'll just add this to the japan to visit list....let's see, if I spend 7mins here.....emmm..... that brings my total trip time to 17months 2weeks and 3 days....

[@aron8650]

Woah watermelon ice-cream tastes like watermelon, who would have thought?

[@eatyourkimchi]

+/\aron sometimes watermelon ice cream tastes like gross fake watermelon flavour. ;)

[@marisolmelendez6182]

Simon and Martina I like that gross fake watermelon flavor 😢

[@Th3Jynx3d]

i love you're food videos cuz there might never be a chance that i get to try most of this stuff!

[@claires-c2242]

Lots of love to you guys !! 💕🌻

[@CycocelVocalist]

*HYPERVENTILATES* CORNHOLIOS?! SO DIRTY!

[@Bloodorange5000]

The world's best pastry chef... and yet they don't try any pastry 😭😂

[@aleenr4425]

I love these videos!!

[@vharvey72]

I always look forward to your videos

[@courtneyf2139]

Simon! You are one hangry boy! You need to eat before so you can share better with Martina!! 😂

[@courtneyf2139]

Ps we've been before and the cookie shot is AMAZING

[@protocolofficer2629]

Please do me a favour. You just went to a western style patisserie in Japan but I wondered if you have tried Japanese cheesecake. Why do I ask, you might say? CAUSE in Tranna, we have Uncle Tetsu's Japanese style cheesecake (on Bay near Dundas) . Have you been there? You must go next time you visit here and then do a comparison. P.S. loved this vlog about yummy ice creams. Thanks for sharing!

[@joyjoyoo]

Protocol Officer Tranna ?! Why would you call it that?

[@protocolofficer2629]

joyjoy That’s the way most citizens pronounce Toronto!

[@PurpleRainyClouds]

That face Martina makes when Simon takes the first bite...classic!

[@sarahi6466]

I love you guys so much that I never skip the ads.

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

My very lactose intolerant self is crying rn 😭😭

[@Angelbunny86]

Simon! Shame on you sir! Eating all that s'more! Totes mean, man. Totes mean.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Don't worry...we got another one...

[@clairemccutchen]

Literally, just watched a video about the watermelon sorbet and corn desserts a week ago! I love all of your guys' videos equally, but the food videos have a special place in my heart! Please keep eating all the delicious foods for me!

[@eatyourkimchi]

I totally expected this to be sorbet but was super surprised when it was a creamy watermelon ice cream. Never had that before!

[@clairemccutchen]

Simon and Martina OMG, I love you guys!

[@venturefanatic9262]

Good to see the two of you making videos out and about.

[@citrine5694]

I saw this on Insider Any other person saw this on Insider(I asked this just for likes btw)😊

[@kimphung7391]

Thanks you for the videos. You’re both so charming and humorous.

[@Geeklightful]

Aawww I am so happy to see you wear the little Kirby Cupcake , because I actually prepared a new package of jewelry for you guys last week and I was going to post it tomorrow! 😄 Huge hugs!❤

[@loleboee1]

All the yummy desserts looked so yummy! I must come to Japan and try it for myself now!!

[@spongemuffin2719]

LUCKY!!!! I may not have the chance to have any delicious concoctions by Dominique Ansel in my lifetime (unless I take a trip to NYC and wait hours in a cronut line) so you guys are so lucky to enjoy what he makes!

[@piscesgagamonster]

I just saw an instagram post of that watermelon thing and now you're doing a video on it...omg. I wish I could try it. Also putting salt on watermelon is something that my family has done forever and it's seriously delicious

[@913_Niyala]

Ahhh! I missed your videos so much!!

[@morganphillips7013]

HOLY SNAP! 2 amazing social media channels I'm obsessed with collide!! I'm in heaven

[@franvdf]

[@bymariainfante]

I'm so glad you guys are back to making more videos ♥️ this video make me so hungry I saw the mirror spheres in the background and thought they were hamburgers... 🤤

[@marianavalero628]

Yessss I love your videos 💗
