🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
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.

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 POV. It is not meant to offend any person or culture. Peace!

    Willing to eat rotten fish paste with maggots but cucumbers cross the line😂
  • Sonny doesn’t like cucumber but can eat prahok, he sure is impressive with his food journey 😂
  • @MMBY93
    Even the lady selling the prahok was like "whaaaat don't eat it just like that..."😂
  • @sanmedbij
    Maggots are basically House fly larva so the source matters and rotten fish is definitely not a good source. It contains tons of bacteria.
  • @poppyA-zh8uz
    Their faces when the doctor said “ as long as it’s not from unsanitary conditions” SENT ME😂😂😂😂
  • @ajiebooks
    The Cambodian host looks like he regrets doing the episode 😂😂😂
  • @namrehh
    they definitely got sick after this lol
  • In England year’s ago, they used to eat Stilton cheese that was infested with maggot’s (cheese mite’s) and they used to pour port on the top to kill the maggots and to make it more palatable and you used to get offered a spoon so you could eat the 2 together, thankfully time has moved on
  • Hahaha even the lady selling it grimaced when he put it in his mouth.
  • @koolpebble
    Guys, prahok is not a delicacy! It's a widely used ingredient in Khmer savory dishes. It's a salting agent that gives food an umami flavor, without making the dishes taste so one dimensional. Not meant to be eaten raw or straight. Although there are some who do use it raw (but it's never eaten just by itself because it's, after all, an ingredient). But I have to admit that I've never seen a maggot-infested prahok before. That's something I would never eat and is one reason why prahok should always be cooked.
  • @TRUTHx247
    I’m Cambodian and even I have my limits too when it comes to Prahok or anything else like it. Since we’re in the states, we prepare our Prahok in a safer manner where you won’t end up in the ER trying it for the first time. Ours tastes clean and even the odor isn’t as bad or strong. It’s all in how you store the fish, process and prepare it. And no, ours isn’t covered in “maggots”. In fact when I ate this in Cambodia, never did I once find maggots in my Prahok. So this is more of a specific Prahok that caters to a specific group of Khmers who are into that kind of thing. But even my folks deep in rural Cambodia won’t eat Prahok with maggots in it.
  • @juniiech
    Hiii I’m Cambodian, I love prahok I love eating the different types of it. It’s pungent but savory and mostly spicy, I didn’t know there was an extreme version of it in Cambodia. My family when I visited Cambodia prepares safe versions of it and safely stores it in containers, in a fridge. For me any maggots in my food is definitely not eaten! Ty for showing the different side of Cambodia I haven’t seen.
  • Savi has most delightful voice i have ever heard of ❤❤❤❤ it's soooooo soothing to hear 😅
