00:26 The top 100 Southeast Asian street food that you should not miss.
00:30 Among these, we're going to beat the Filipinos.
00:32 But the best street food in Southeast Asia is a food from Indonesia
00:36 whose name and appearance are familiar to our taste buds.
00:39 [music]
00:40 The shumai.
00:41 Brother Kim, where did the shumai come from?
00:43 Brother Kim, what now?
00:45 The shumai was brought to us by the Chinese.
00:47 It came from Wuho and Inner Mongolia, a autonomous region of Northern China.
00:51 It was brought by merchants or travelers to Beijing and Tianjin in China,
00:55 where it became famous during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
00:58 They even loved dumplings.
00:59 It was introduced to us in Southeast Asia.
01:02 That's why there are different versions of it.
01:04 We've adapted shumai right away.
01:06 It's easy to eat, easy to prepare, and cheap.
01:09 Indonesia's shumai is made from different types of fish.
01:11 Indonesians follow the halal dietary law.
01:14 It also has peanut sauce.
01:15 Their aromatics are strong.
01:18 Here in the Philippines, it's usually made from meat.
01:20 When we study the culture of Filipino cuisine,
01:23 we always have sour food.
01:25 That's why we always have vinegar, garlic, chili,
01:27 calamansi, fish sauce, and soy sauce.
01:30 Do Filipinos have a real fight with shumai?
01:32 Not only in taste, but also in size?
01:35 Here in Malabon, shumai is sold in big plates.
01:40 And the weight is around half a kilo.
01:42 Jumbo shumai is a favorite of lucky Joe and Recy.
01:45 My favorite shumai is from a customer of ours
01:48 who suggested that we make a half kilo.
01:51 He tried it. It's 80 pesos, 1/4, and 155 pesos.
01:56 Because of their jumbo shumai,
01:57 their three favorite places, Lucky Joe and Recy,
01:59 in Malabon and Nabotas, are always in line.
02:01 Before, during our brunch in Nabotas,
02:03 we had a queuing operation
02:05 because the line was so long.
02:07 They also have different flavors of shumai.
02:09 Pepperoni cheese, cheese bomb, octo cheese.
02:12 We'll be releasing a lot of them soon.
02:14 The color is pink.
02:15 Salmon cheese. It's delicious.
02:17 Tau-tau, the blue one.
02:18 Scallop.
02:19 Shumai is just one of many kinds of dumplings that you can taste.
02:22 But will you still be eager to eat
02:24 the most expensive dumpling in the world?
02:26 This is the Blue Diamond Dim Sum
02:33 of the German company, Jumbau.
02:35 It's title is "Most Expensive Dim Sum Dumpling
02:39 that's Commercially Available."
02:40 It's worth 399 British Pounds,
02:43 or around 28,000 pesos.
02:46 And the reason why this dumpling is so expensive
02:48 is because of its unique ingredients
02:50 like caterpillar fungi, saffron, truffle, and black bone chicken.
