Mauritius Cycling Food Tour 🇲🇺 vA 189

I leave a paradise like beach to return to Mahebourg to show you the culinary wonders of Mauritius. First, we try some noodles (the famous mine bouille), then some common street food and then we finish our food tour at Kim boulettes, a wonderful place where you can have among the best dumplings in the world. The food in Mauritius is really on another level.

Mauritius, Indian Ocean. Morning, my friends. From Mauritius. And as you see, I managed to find a Paradise
beach here in Mauritius with nobody. Private resorts everywhere. But it’s a public beach. Look at that. There is just a few people there. A big resort there. Beautiful white sand
made from dead corals. And if I don’t want to
burn, I need to get going. So I’ve lost my sunglasses,
so I’ve got new ones. I only found female sunglasses. And I’ve got a new bicycle, much better. This beach is a true hidden Paradise. Let’s go! Bye bye. There’s nobody here. Wonderful! So we are going for a two days
cycling food tour of Mauritius, guys. And my first challenge is
going to be to exit this place. You see, I have a beautiful pine forest. I think the beach is public,
but the access was private, so I had to sneak past a private road. A lovely Paradise hidden
behind the airport. Let’s go to Mahébourg, guys. Let’s go to eat. You see, that might be an access
to the other part of the beach. And that’s where I came from. Oh, my ass is painful already. You see, there is the
police on my right here. Restricted area. Okay, I made it out. Good. So the sunglasses, basically, it’s the only glasses I found that do
protect your eyes and that I found in Mahébourg for a reasonable price. Here is a big resort. Vanilla plantations. As you see, the airport is just there. I hate bikes. Man, it’s so painful. The position is so awkward
and uncomfortable, man. This makes me like my tricycle much more. This is so uncomfortable. And the bike is good actually,
the handling is really nice. But the position on an upright bike.
It’s a nightmare. Welcome to Mauritius. Beautiful temple. I really like Mahébourg It doesn’t feel touristy. It feels really real, really
Mauritian, really nice. So we are back in Mahébourg. Ay my butt! It’s funny. They have these
electric scooters everywhere. Okay, so now that I’m seriously hungry after two
hours cycling this morning to go to the beach, let’s go to eat finally. Here we have the beautiful
flag of Mauritius. Okay, so I’m very lucky like always. the first place is closed. Coin Cassecroute Here it’s supposed to
be nice, but it’s closed It’s been three times I come
here, every time it’s closed. And when it’s open, I’m not hungry. Aïe, aïe, aïe, bad luck… No. Come on! And this is my backup option,
which is closed as well. What the hell?
Why is everything closed today? Man! So today is Tuesday, so if you want to eat on Tuesday
in Mauritius, you cannot eat. What the hell? I want to have this, Mine Bouille,
this is typical from Mauritius. I found a place that is open. – Hello, it’s for eating.

rice, and boiled noodles. – Do you have boiled noodles?

beach in the end in Mauritius. But for me, the main, main,
main thing in Mauritius is food. Chili cake. That’s really good. Oh the sauce is so good. So straight ahead we have the market. So Mine Bouille is the noodles basically. So good. Fantastic. The octopus is awesome. It’s good to be hungry when you eat. A piece
of octopus with some good noodles and a nice tomato sauce. Oh so good. We have some chutney here. I love chutney. Oh my god. Fantastic. I was so hungry. So delicious. I love octopus also, I just love it. Oh, the juice is so good. How much do I owe you? It was very good. Boiled noodles with octopus? Yes, it was octopus, boiled

find another place to eat a bit more. And we have an Indian flag behind with
the wheel of Ashoka in the middle. Hello. Good. How are you? Thirst palace. Oh, there is some…

So how do we eat? Do I eat all this? It’s like you don’t need to do anything,
and you’re sweating all the time. It’s so hot here. Let’s just sit here. Oh, come on, guys. Let’s try this one.

wonderful place here in Mahébourg, for typical Mauritian food again. Kim Boulettes Yes. It’s open. I’m very happy because

I put everything… fish sauce. I don’t know what it is. Soy sauce maybe. Chili. Okay. That should be enough. And this. Wonderful! I’m still hungry. So you see the mix… the dumplings… mixed
between Chinese and Indian style. Oh! It’s spicy. I love it. Let’s try the vegetable one, I think. Oh that’s so good. It’s so fantastic. I love dumplings. That’s one of my favorite
foods anywhere in the world. I guess that’s the chicken
mushroom, maybe something like that. Wow! Fantastic! Now that’s the mushroom thing. Wow. Oh that’s another one, I don’t know. The texture, the flavors.
It’s all fantastic. Fish ball. Very elastic. Kim Boulettes, guys, in Mahébourg. Let’s try the fish sausage somehow. Cut it. Hello. This is heaven. Let’s try the tofu. I love tofu. Oh, wow.
It’s really good, this tofu. Wow! It’s very, very savory. I don’t know what’s this one. Fish ball, fantastic! The bouchon is the vegetable one. Oh. Some tourists passing by. Let’s try the seafood one. Very tasty, very elastic
also, very chewy. Fantastic! The end of the cheese ball. The last one, the Pork or lamb mushroom. Wow! Very savory.
Very full of flavors. Oh, wow! I love mushrooms, especially
the black Chinese mushrooms. It was funny. The owner came to sit on my
table just when I was filming. It’s a bit weird to make weird faces
and so much noise when you eat. And you have someone
sitting so close to you. Some fishermen in the
waterfront of Mahébourg. I really, really enjoy Mahébourg.
It’s so, so nice. So, Kim Boulettes, Kim
Boulettes, it’s unbelievable. Honestly, it’s among the best
dumplings I had in my life. They are so good. The mix, the fusion between Chinese, Indian,
a bit of African, a bit of French also, all these flavors and cultures mixed
into the food here in Mauritius. Honestly, the food in Mauritius for me
is the great highlight of the island. Sorry, I don’t include the
English in the mix for the food because… for me, England has just zero culinary
culture. But it’s just my opinion.
