[Music] Is this the world's best food? Let's find out! [Applause] So, a few years ago, CNN came out with a list of the top 50 best foods in the whole world, and they were actually bold enough to rank this list all the way

from 50 to one in order. And I looked at some of my favorite foods. Burgers, my number two favorite food, took the number six spot. Pizza, my number one favorite food, took the number two spot. So there might be some merit in this article, but

the number one food I had never heard of until a couple of days ago, and I have it right here. This is Massaman curry. It's a Thai food, and this is what CNN says about it: emphatically, the *C* curries, and perhaps the king of all food; spicy,

coconutty, sweet, and savory. Even the packet sauce you buy from the supermarket can make the most delinquent of cooks look like a Michelin potential. Thankfully, someone invented rice, with which diners can mop up the last dribble of curry sauce. The land of

smiles isn't just a marketing catchline; it's a result of being born in a land where the world's most delicious food is sold on nearly every street corner. Now, I didn't pick this up from any random street corner, though. I actually asked my Grab driver the other

night for a recommendation for some good food, and he pointed me to this place called Ruamrudee Malika. Really good. I go with my... my...grass...one time...did the...the...left side...so I ordered directly from this spot, and they

I have two types of Massaman curry; they have a chicken version and a beef version. I'm not really sure which one is which here, but as you can see, they have a very interesting way of packaging this curry for delivery. It's a little fiddly; let's see if I can pull this

off. Oh, it's hot! Wow, that looks amazing! It's so hot. God dang! So it looks like we have the beef over here and the chicken over here. I also got two orders of rice, just in case. I'll probably only need one. And I didn't know about this; this was

included with the curry. Looks like bread, kind of toasted white bread; two pieces per curry. So we're going to be messing with that too. So I'm going to put one order of the rice and one order of the bread over to the side for now, and let me just give you a quick close-up

of what I'm looking at. For one, we need some smell-vision, am I right? Uh, no, man, for real though, I'm dead serious. Like, this is smelling insane, but the visuals are equally insane. It looks thick, looks like there's a lot of meat, it looks savory, it looks spicy, it

looks... it looks everything! Huge pieces of chicken in here and other things... maybe a potato? I'm not really sure. And big pieces of beef as well. The curry has an awesome consistency to it; not too thin, not too thick. I've had all kinds of

curries from all around the world, and let me tell you what: this is some of the best-looking curry right off the bat that I've ever seen. Let's just get a scoop. Holy Jimi! It's 5:00; haven't eaten anything all damn day.

which might be adding a little bit. Can't lie, this chicken is so tender and juicy! The flavors are immaculate. There are like big chunks of potato; it's a hearty curry, almost like a stew, which I am a huge fan of. Sometimes you

get curries that are, well, for my personal taste buds, a little bit too thin; um, not enough substance, not enough meat or potatoes or anything in it, you know? I could just eat this like without the rice. See if I can uh, do one of

these. Everyone has their own methods of eating curry. Usually I like to do a little half and half, like this. Some people like to mix it all together. I'm not really sure the right way to eat this one, but I don't think there is a right

way, as long as you're eating it. Little hint of coconut there; there's peanuts in here, but they have boiled down to a point that they're not too crunchy and not too soft either, adding just the perfect amount of texture and flavor. This gets a mighty fine right off the

bat! And shout out to that driver for recommending the spot; oh, it's on point! There are no spice levels I could choose from here, which I'll be honest, is one thing that I would have liked to have seen; just a little bit of spice

options. I'm talking like maybe just a little bit more spicy. I'm getting like a one out of 10 on this. You can see, you can feel that there's a little spice in there—I mean, *mild* spice—but um, yeah, my my mouth has uh, has no burn.

To it, so this food isn't discriminating against anyone. Look at this piece of chicken; I think there's actually a bone in this. It's just shredding; hard to do one-handed, but you get the gist. Come on now! Come on! [Music]

This is probably the 10th curry I've had over here. Um, sticking to less of the red curries because, purposely, I didn't want to have anything that even remotely resembled this. So I've had a lot of like yellow curries, green curry, you know?

What I mean, I love me some curry. This is my favorite so far. Let me actually see what this bread is all about. If I'm doing something that's real weird, I apologize, but what else is this bread for? I mean, oh, look at that!

[Music] Scoop. This is one of those foods that is so complex, but it's done in such the right way that you don't even notice the complexity. Sometimes the food is very complex and it's too complex, so you get thinking about it like, what's

this? What's that? And then you're not even enjoying the food; you're just trying to break it down. This is one where it's very complex, but how many times did I just say 'complex'? It's one of those that you don't have to think about it; you just max it and enjoy

it. But if you want to, maybe you could think about it, try to discover every single flavor. And this is so good! I, no joke, I even forgot about this one. I was going to like, kind of compare them back to back, but I just started going to town on

This one, and I can't stop. So maybe I'm not giving this a fair shake, but is it just me, or does this one look a little bit redder? Hopefully, the beef is a little bit spicier. Come on, if you like curry, you would like this.

100% hands down, if you like food, you'll like this. Let me try a piece of this beef. I believe this is going to be super tender as well; not completely falling apart. I mean, if it completely disintegrated, then what are we even doing here? But that plastic

fork sticks in perfectly. Huge chunks of meat in here. Oh, I'm loving it! Mighty fine as well. By the way, I was asking the driver who recommended the spot, and he was telling me that the chef who works here, or the owner – I'm not really sure; a little bit of a loss

in translation – but he was saying that there was a master chef at this restaurant. So I can see meat and potatoes and a thick curry stew. It's creamy, it's savory. Once again, the [Music] balance – it's the balance of flavors. This

one, I feel like I want to go out on a limb and say it might be like one level spicier than this one, but that might just be because of the slow buildup. But it's still really not that [Music] spicy. By the way, though, I paid a pretty

penny for this food: 32 bucks. So let's see, that's 15… my last video, $15 worth of KFC – a lot of food. I mean, this is obviously better than KFC. That big tie spread I got was like what, 37? So this is almost… this is up

There may be... this is more of a fancier restaurant, but I've got to take some of this bread with some of this meat. I've got to make a sandwich. I've got to do it. Meat just... meat doesn't look pretty, but it sure does eat, let me tell you.

What? Oh well, now I guess the real question is, is this the world's best food? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no. Um, I mean, it's subjective. I know these lists are all... it's completely subjective. Maybe you don't like curry at all, so you obviously wouldn't like this. I've had, like I said, a lot of curries in my day, and this is right at the top of all the curries I've had, uh, ever.

There's one food that I don't think is really considered a curry. When I was in Indonesia, uh, I had rendang, and that... I think they call that more of a stew, perhaps, but that was really fire, too. Um, but again, the Sonic curry... I mean, if I'm comparing this to some of my classics, like pizza, like

burgers, can I put this... can I put this over those things? No, hell no! But definitely a must-try if you ever come here or if you can ever just find it. I feel like... um, this CNN article... I think there was a lot of controversy over it because I

don't know who came up with it. If it was a team of people, so they did like a report, and they actually did an audience poll and got like thousands of votes. In that poll, Top 50 Foods, this was not number one, it was still number 10 though, so still

Really high up there [Music] I guess I got uh, too much rice, so I have some remaining. Like sometimes with curry, you need the rice. Sometimes I would just mix this with... I'll mix this with a [Music] spoon. Very good use of spice here. Very

good use of ingredients. Um, does it deserve to be number one? I think pizza should be number one. First of all, pizza is worldwide. To have this being number one... well, maybe I'm just a noob, but I've never even heard of

it. I think to be number one, you've got to be accessible around the world, you know? And pizza is everywhere, um, whether it's good pizza, bad pizza, American pizza chains, or, you know, Korean-style pizza. It's crazy. Sushi pizza that I had the other day over here,

all types of pizza. I... I think pizza's got to be number one. Let's see here, though. Could I even attempt to rank this on an overall food scale, personal one? I don't even know if I could attempt it. That's the thing. I've got to see some

numbers. I've got to see some stats on it, or else it's just completely subjective. Another thing is, I've only had it at one place. I mean, I think this place is good; it's got good reviews, but maybe, you know, different places do it, serve it up in different ways. Um, you

can't really judge it off just eating it one time. All I can just say is it's mighty fine. I would want to just soak up all the rest of this, but I want Ring Lady to actually try this too, cuz she hasn't had it either. She's never heard

of it, either. The real question is, is it in the GOAT conversation—greatest of all time? And now I say it depends who you're talking to. Um, I mean, usually when you're talking about GOATs, you're talking about top maybe five total. And uh, would this be top

five? Personally, no. That being said, I can definitely see how other people would disagree with me and say that this is the best food in the world, and I can see why some people would say it is. It's just simply mighty fine, and that's all I

can say. I'm skating out of here for today. Thank you for watching. I'll catch you in the next video. Peace.

The world's best food.
