All right next up on our Toronto food crawl We have the very iconic Tim Horns. There are millions of these all over the city, but we're here on University Let's go check it out guys So I went to Tim Horton's obviously several years ago when I was in Toronto, but you know, they have definitely revamped They're updating they're constantly trying to you know Kind of bring in that kind of Starbucks reserve type vibe where they have like, you know Even matcha donuts and premium sandwiches. They're just trying to up their game and they're changing certain locations around So right now I feel like we're at a fairly new location, but maybe not the premium All right, so not only is Tim Horton's doing a lot more Asian flavors such as matcha But they also are doing a collab with Justin Bieber. It's a it's a Justin Bieber and Timmy's collab, you know All right guys, I got to try the matcha donut. I'm gonna give it a taste Mmm.

Shout out to Timmy's It's like a chai latte with that extra espresso kick I think the new premium Tim Horton's really reflects kind of like where Canada is moving in the future with Multiculturalism and Canada has always been very diverse and very open to that of course But offering things like chai and matcha items, you know out of Tim Horton's Which is essentially kind of like a Dunkin Donuts of Canada, you know, that's very impressive So it just goes to show you that with the diverse population There's diverse flavors and man shout out to Timmy's for really pulling it off All right, I'm in the bathroom at Tim Horton's and I want to get everybody's opinion on this push to lock System where I push it to lock it when I'm on the inside, but then I can just open it Yeah, you guys let me know in the comments down below what you think about this All right So our next new Asian concept in Toronto is district 3 district 3 is a very very popular and urban district in Ho Chi Minh City It's definitely a place that I'm gonna go visit when I do go visit Vietnam Linda.

Gotta come to district three. Go come get the durian dessert one of the best ones I've ever had in America North America No in Toronto You do not need to walk far to find another Tim Hortons apparently each franchise is independently owned So guess what that means they're able to stock different items. I mean look guys They even sell socks at this one They sell Tim Horton socks. We got a fried chicken sandwich. We I got a habanero burrito I got a chicken noodle soup. Like we said every Tim Horns has a different menu here. We've got some chicken noodle soup We've got a crispy chicken crevables two chicken tenders in the ciabatta and of course right here We've got a chicken habanero wrap. Let me just rip that open made fresh in the back Really like the most Canadian establishment I can think of because it's like very very middle class But it's more elevated than American fast food and it's really just in this catch all middle point Especially now that they allow the franchisees to like make their stores how they want and sort of cater to their own demographic The quality is their shout out to Tim Horns Here in here is super nice. This reminds me of Vietnam There's the concrete walls and just the open air and the lanterns from Huyen It's really nice Yo, that's for you All right, so David, what are you trying to do with yo? Yeah, so with yo what we're trying to do is we're trying to change the misinception that Vietnamese food is just full Right, which is so much more diverse and just so many different regions of Vietnam, right? And we're what we're trying to modernize Vietnamese cuisine. He's talking shit. Let me know if you guys need more honey. I'll be back coconut cream with nook mom Hunch of flavor. Whoa. Whoa kind of sweet kind of milky They're really shaking that beef. We are in Toronto. We are in Canada home of the poutine So we got to try this protein. This is gonna carry all the essence of beef, but except in the poutine form Let's go for it Fries are nice. Are you as a Canadian? Are you a poutine fan? Yeah, I'm gonna try this oyster here semi-grilled Sitting on the hop. Oh shoot Juicy ass just like all David likes his girls You're not you're not kidding. All right, I got these oysters. Let's go Yo Lots of fried shallots on the oyster kind of oily, but I love it We have the dry chicken foe with spicy chicken satay, I'm gonna try the chicken satay right here You really eat it like that. Yes. That's the tick-tock way. I seen that on tick. You know what are you on tick-tock? Yes, actually Just in his like pasta. Here we go Fried Wow That's good dragon fruit in a cup Starbucks where not here guys I really love what yo is doing here because I thought I saw a lot of elevated Vietnamese and Asian concepts But man, I mean just with the whole vibe the space the decor and the food I think it is on another level and I will say one thing I do think in America a lot of ethnic spots tend to go for the very traditional route Which is not wrong because you can never go wrong going for the traditional classics But I do think in Toronto it kind of pushes people to have a little bit more fun with the food and be a little bit more fusion with it because of Kind of like the diversity and how it's built into the Constitution of Canada. Maybe I'm taking it too deep I don't know guys. Just check out. Yo, it's really fun And you know shout out to Canada All right, our next spot is a spot called Jumi Gozen It's a cool Japanese concept that opened up recently in North York And it really focuses on seafood and like a unique dining experience I highly recommend you check it out, especially if you're in the area because it also looks great on the gram We also saw the Kanto Mando guys there the night before the game Guys when you're talking about cuisine in the city of Toronto I don't know if you can find two things that make more sense This smokes poutineery which looks like that's been around since like 1963 and then Chakasha Indian street food Which you know, I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff in there. I've never tried before David. It's not just Indian street food Session Buddy buddy buddy, I just saw on the menu at Chashka. They have samosa poutine. I think I know what I'm ordering Guys Chashka literally translates to obsession. How do I know that? Here you go, sir I'm having pantypourri and I've had this dish before but I've never made it myself. So with these ingredients I don't know how to do it man. Okay, show me please Okay Actually, I'm gonna do it myself Boom Very fun snack to make actually man. I got the water here All right guys pantypourri guys here at Chashka. They are serving Punjabi street food. Let's check it out Taste wise. That's really good. Super crispy There's actually a lot of crossover with something that also tastes kind of Mexican too So I think there is some crossover and spices, but man overall is a pretty cool experience I think that this is a spot that you won't really find in America, but only in Toronto. Yo guys I'm here at Smokes Poutineery leaning on a bag of potatoes here and this spot has this this brand has been around since like 1960 all right here We got the Korean barbecue poutine guys poutine at its base is just French fries gravy cheese curds But this has all the elements, but it's topped with Korean barbecue beef green onions all the all the lovely Editions that you need a little chili sauce right there. I'm gonna lie There's a lot going on and almost dripped on my shoes But I just like to see kind of like old Canadian Institutions embrace like the new diverse flavors, especially Asian one So of course when they I saw the Korean one I had a you know, give them a shout-out and honestly I give this a four out of five. It's pretty good guys Smokes Poutineery. They update themselves Growing diversity of Canada. They're embracing it. I love it. Let's go All right, you guys next up on Asian concepts, you can only find in Canada not in the States We've got a don't be a shout-out spot This is very similar to Korean barbecue similar to Japanese yaku niku, but Harbin don't be stylish check it out So this is an actual chain from China from don't they the Chinese reads Zhen new Chinese BBQ guys They're playing like Chinese rap. I know they love Chinese rap in don't be all right you guys I'm with y'all y'all you from don't be this is a very popular style of like cow rowing don't be right What do we got to start with? She said it's the secret sauce. She said don't worry about it. Don't worry Oh So would you say don't they barbecue is like it's like a mixture between like Korean and Chinese Like how would you describe it for you know the Americans watching they only had Korean barbecue or yaku niku Ribbon, how do you explain how the don't be Chinese style is like different? It's salty, but maybe Chris only be in the speed and I'm not sure All right, he said the don't be styles the best Beef belly right there. I'm gonna dip it into the garlic sauce Everybody's got the stuff mushrooms right there. We got the marinated pork belly. We got some power We have some crispy sausage, which is definitely something you really wouldn't see that So I'm just trying to point out all the elements are a little bit different still got pineapple got some cartilage right there It's a little bit like hot pot in the sense that you're gonna pick your own sauce is on the side here as you can see They got their don't be called Rojang right here. That's the Northeast style, but they also have Korean style right here Kung Fu barbecue you just feel like you're out with the homies What you guys you guys have probably heard of the swanai Beijing yogurt craze that swept across mainland with Yomi's yogurt Well, guess what? We've got a cooler version called Comey's and not only that Andrew They have a speakeasy that's hidden behind a vending machine door on the inside. Look guys I've got the salted egg yolk yogurt right here swanai. I've got lychee lovers Yo, bro, whoa Tell you this You're in Canada Toronto or Vancouver Assaulted egg yolk stuff is about a 10 out of 10 intensity that tastes exactly like egg yolks Let me tell you guys They do not have this type of concept in the US as strong as the Asian community is in the US And I think it's getting there the Asian community in Canada specifically Toronto has been very very strong at about 30% For very long so this is almost like an Asia Asia concept That's like eating the middle of a mooncake But you mash it up and then you stuck it into a sweet yogurt drink I don't know how I feel about it because it's very savory salty umami at the same time sweet and milky That's pretty interesting though. I think it's really funny filming this video out in Canada Especially Toronto because like it's a busy city But a lot of people just stop when they see us filming and they don't want to get in our shot and get in our Way, but I think like maybe in America. They some people try to get in your shot on purpose I'm coming shorty Dominic Wilkins It's a 2-3 zone It's a 2-3 zone And with the balls here these two guard the ball here goes to the other side same thing And this guy move this one to side to side This looks like a dick You're a dick I'm defending the dick Right basically that's what you're defending Yo, CCYA did a big this year This is this is where all the ticket money went to guys I know the tickets were like more expensive than last year, but this is where it went to I'm just kidding. I don't know. I think this was a small That wraps it up for our food tour that we went on leading up to the big CCYA celebrity classic charity basketball game Hosted by none other than Canada's finest Simulio and of course Asian basketball hero Jeremy Lin We got coached by Dominic Wilkins. So that was a really cool experience and there were so many other friends there I can't shout them all out But I'll shout out to Ronnie Chang, you know and safe to say David dropped a 16 piece And I had 14 but we ended up losing to the team with Jeremy Lin on it But either way, it was a fun Toronto trip And I'm glad we all got to come together for charity again And we love Toronto shout out to everyone that was involved in the event to make it happen But let us know where we should go next time and also if you'd like to come to the next game
