 Hello friends and subscribers welcome back to my youtube channel Daniel Rosal here in Jerusalem bring you this video today from the very bottom of Binyang Klal this is the famous the infamous Klal building which I did a video with Chimchon Lichinsky in before we took a tour of this building and Chimchon who works in the building pointed out all the various points of interest here including the famous disused laser printer but today we're here i'm back with Chimchon and we're on a mission this is the first installation whilst going to be hopefully a few adventures that we're going to be checking out the soup in Jerusalem as soon as a mercury drops in Jerusalem it's soup weather and this city does soups really really well there's the Alma soup chain and there's also a lot of these little places that when you open your eyes you find out that they have soup on the menu today we are in La Dolce Vita which is a relatively new business opened here in the bottom of Binyang Klal it's a fusion venue and the chef is going to explain to us what type of food they do they have three soups Chimchon and I are going to be testing two of them today and we're going to see I recently had the borscht in Yolo also located very close by we're going to see if it can equal that great feat of soup we're making the it's a fusion we mixed all the cuisine together it means that the people want to try something new not just an Israeli or Russian or Georgian they want to try the different type of food in one place guys let's go into the kitchen they're doing interesting things notice all these cakes they do them themselves they're pastry cooks they have a special new it's all kosher Mahadun Rabanot here do you guys like to look into pots I love it come on let's go and look into the pots see what they have here oh this is the Georgian rice soup should we have a look in that do what do you think guys you're curious wow you got a spoon we can mix it around guys this is the good soup it's got a lot of vegetables it's got kuzmara which is cilantro it's got tomatoes and it's got a bit of a kick to it so this is the one I've had a few times the mushrooms and sour pickles it's a Russian soup yeah it's a Russian it's a Russian soup so that's good also so we've got a lot of action code are the soups popular yeah what other soups are do Russians enjoy besides this one borscht borscht I had borscht in Yolo the other day was amazing yeah also I make the French one it's a cream soup with mushrooms is this your first time running a restaurant or did you have previous places no I was I worked as a manager in the Sergei Palace restaurant it's a Russian courtyard so Shimcheon and I order two of the soups of the day and we sat down to enjoy our warm soups on the bottom floor of one of Jerusalem's most iconic buildings now guys this is the sour pickles mushroom soup what's it called in Russian? Russelnik soup now we'll try a bit of this this and see how it goes another amazing soup for a winter's day delightful got a bit of sugar in it I think yeah a bit of sugar sugar a bit of sugar Shimcheon found the Georgian soup a little bit too spicy for his very Ashkenazic palette so although I don't usually consider myself a food viewer I jumped in to offer a few thoughts on the soup then your warning it's very spicy can you deal with it can you handle it oh no no no I love everything spicy oh that's fantastic I definitely would not say it's overly spicy it's nicely hot let's have a little bit of a kick to it it's got rice in the soup as well which is just amazing and a cold winter's day like this a lot of people ask me you know does Jerusalem get cold it's like in the Middle East and the winters here are short but it definitely does get cold and as soon as it starts raining as soon as it gets cold people come out for soup it's a really big thing you won't find it just on this menu lots of different places in the city as well have soup and as I mentioned I'm going to be exploring it I have a video coming up in Alma which is a big soup chain in the city and I'm going to be checking out potentially today Hamarakiya which is means in English the soupory to give it a rough translation which is one of the most well-known soup eating venues in the city finally the venue insisted that we try a rather unusual eggplant dessert Shimcheon has recently found a new lease on life as a volunteer eggplant picker helping farmers in the south to recover from the economic effects of the war so I was particularly interested to hear what he had to say about the sweet dish it's eggplant ballade with vegetables inside and it's as you know eggplant is a very popular Middle Eastern food and we'll try this with the tuna sauce now this one is actually not tuna they made it with tuna this is with a yogurt sauce so we'll try this one delicious got some nuts in it as well radish lemon juice they're doing a good job I personally prefer more egg more tuna and less of this um salad cream but it's delicious as well not content with simply stuffing his face Shimcheon also decided to offer Yelena some business advice to help her cafe in the bottom of the cloud building flourish and reach new customers you've got to do a lot more advertising I want you to hand out flyers I want you to give discounts to everyone in the building I want you to have a big sign up and I want lots of tables outside so people can see this action here so good luck everyone come and support this business we're here to support small business in Jerusalem I'm Yisrael Khai be well happiness to everyone if you also like great soup and want Dolce Vita to succeed visit them on the very bottom level of Bin Yang Clal of Yaffo under Gerpa streets have a Jerusalem soup venue you think Shimcheon and I need to check out this winter drop a recommendation in the comments and I'll try to make it happen until the next video thanks for watching
