[M]: Picnic time in the park!!

[S]: When we first came to Japan we didn't know how amazing the bakeries would be here

[S]: I remember our first memory [M]: Oh right.

[S]: Of when we were in Ikebukuro many years ago

And we had that bakery right beside us

We had no idea what to expect because we didn't have great experiences of bakeries in Asia.

And we were just overwhelmed by how delicious it was.

And I realized so we didn't actually show the amazing things you can find in a bakery

We just picked up some stuff at our favorite like local bakery, basic things

Everything was between a dollar to like $2.50

It's nothing that's like ~fancy food~

[M]: Curry bread? So popular. [S]: Oh my gosh. [M]: Everywhere you go. It was actually one of the first snacks

We ever had in Japan when we moved here, I know

[S]: I just, my stomach is - I know we got to get B shots but - ohh look at this

Can you smell that sweet butter glaze on - Don't smack it at me girl!

Smell that What do you smell

I smell happiness and oil and savory.

[M]: Okay, let's break it in half slowly. [S]: Let's show you what's inside.

[S]: Let's show you what's inside.

[S]: Here you go girl. [M]: Did I get like the really good version

[S]: I don't know

[S]: I gave you the better part because I love you the most.

[M]: I see how this is.

There are all different flavors that we have

All over Japan and you know we got cheese ones and chicken ones and vegetable ones.

This is just a default curry bun

[S]: Oh my gosh [M]: I'm actually salivating, are you?

Here we go

[M]: Oh my god.

Mmm. This one tastes like Coco curry stuffed inside of a bun

The thing about Japanese curry is it's savory,

[S]: Yeah [M]:but it's also quite sweet.

[S]: Yeah. [M]: It has a lot of nutmeg and cinnamon

Oh my god.

The contrast in texture

Look how fluffy that bread is to the creamy sweet meatiness of Japanese curry

This is one of my favorite snacks I have in Japan

So this one is a beef curry bun

And they don't usually do like this chunky of a beef one. Oh my I've got carrots in mine. Oh my gosh

It's like a meal on the go

Look, I even have a caramelized onion

I think it's the stewed carrots and caramelized onions

that give it the sweetness as well

Right, because onions and carrots in Japan are quite sweet

The breakfast of champions had well after lunch almost into dinner

[M]: The dinner of breakfast and lunch of champions!!! [S]: The dinner of breakfast

Do not be afraid

Of curry buns when you come to Japan

You'll be sorely missing out if you don't try this

But be afraid of the giant crows with their giant muscle arms

that are slowly surrounding us

Come at me crow!

[M]: Simon gets beat up. [S]: I would.

Those - those crows are jacked up.

I also loved the little crusty crunch they have on top

because you have the creaminess of the inside, the fluffiness of the bread and then it's almost like a tempura crunch on top

[M]: Exactly what I was gonna say

If you're visiting and you're on a budget just have curry buns

[S]: Over and over again

Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Just like curry bun! curry bun! curry bun!

[M]: I think that's it for the video. [S]: That's it. [M]: Bye everyone, I'm full, see ya.

Yeah

NAhh, I have many more exciting pastries to try.

Okay, what's next on the list

First up some milk because I'm thirsty

Oh, are you gonna be an adult and are you gonna be able to open it by yourself?

Is it childproof?

[S}: Look at that big doggy

[M]: It's a big doggy

[S]: I really hope we can get a doggy in this video

[M]: It's fine

[Martina grunts]

I opened it, like an adult.

Now what are you gonna drink there like an adult?

Could you get me a straw?

I want to let you know, Martina, my sweet ducky

Even though we've been married for 10 years

I still find you so endearing

And you melt my heart with your cuteness all the time

Not many people fumble with the carton as you do

Or, do you all fumble with your milk cartons?

I'm not sure

And if you, don't show Simon because he might think you're adorable

AND THEN I'LL HAVE TO KILL YOU.

Okay now this next one is definitely the memory that I have from Ikebukuro

Oh yes

So we were living in Korea, still

And we were just visiting Japan. The first thing we had was a quiche

and we were really worried that it was gonna be like super gross

and filled with like surprise objects like sweet potato and corn

And we would be like this isn't savory at all!

Turns out Japan really likes quiche culture

I was never into quiches in Korea, never into quiches in Canada,

But the way that Japan does quiches

It's so magnificent

I think what's different is that Japan is very heavily influenced by France

and Europe

So a lot of the food here is buttery and flaky and soft

Because it's more of a European influence

Let's just stop this conversation

Too many things are happening

Okay, let's break this open and show you what's inside

OHhhh Lordy

This is a three type of mushroom plus bacon quiche

The word bacon in Japan is used quite differently than I'm used to

Bacon is

This is rEAlly thick

That's a thick slab of meat

That's a big boy bacon, and that's the only thing on top the rest of it is filled with onions

I can see already onions

But just look at how moist that egg is [M]: Chantilly mushrooms. I know

It's not like a really hard, tough egg.

MoiST EgG

You feel the pastry do you feel how not dry this is?

You can see the flakes of the pastry on the outside

This is much better when you warm it up

but because we are sitting in a park,

the best I can do is this

[M]: It's warm. [S]: Okay here we go, let's do this

[M]: Oh man. [S]: Oh my god.

The mushrooms really steal the show here

Wow those are so juicy!

[M]: This is like an 80% mushroom quiche

It's a very juicy mushroomy mushroom

I think there's like button mushrooms in here

The chantilly mushrooms, and then another one from the looks of it

It's just a mouthful of mushrooms,

and there's actually no bacon on the inside.

[S]: No [M]: The bacon is solely on the top part, like wow

[S]: We're kind of false advertising by calling it a bacon quiche,

but I just had that piece of bacon. It's not crispy, but it's so

smoked, and salty

[M]: Where's - where's my bacon?

[S]: You didn't have your piece of bacon in there?

[M]: Where's my bacon?

[S]: Did you drop your bacon girl? [M]: No, I

[S]: Where did your bacon go?

[M]: Did you eat my bacon?

[S]: No, there are two slices of bacon

[M]: Did you eat my bacon?

[S]: I might have had your bacon

[M]: *gasp* You ate my bacon???

You just reached over and took my bacon?

[S]: No we split it in half!

We're gonna need to like rewind the footage to figure out what just happened

No, what just happened??

No, I had a piece of bacon on top of mine

I took it off to show everybody

[S]: Didn't you eat it after you showed it?

[S]: Did you put it back on it? [M]: No, I think I put it down

and I think you just picked it up and ate it

[S]: NO I did NOT, I did not, I did not eat your bacon

[M]: Quietly, people think we're fighting

[M]: You ate my bacon x2

[S]: I love you babe, I love you

[~love is the momennnnt~]

You're a bacon thief!

Where'd you put your bacon?

No, I think you ate my bacon

There's no conclusive evidence here

The jury is still out.

If only there was video evidence of Simon eating two pieces of bacon

Beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt

There's no way you can say for sure for sure

Oh man

Oh my God

Viewers, remember this

Vengeance will be mine

Oh, yes, I will get my revenge on her

Point is, that was a bombastic quiche

Can you tell me about how delicious the quiche was, go

Simon ate my bacon

I'd like to report lost bacon.

It's about this big and quite thick.

Did you drop it down your shirt into your bountiful bosoms?

I'll check

Let me check for you.

Don't worry. I'm the Baconboob inspector

No, we need the revenue from YouTube!

This is a safe, happy video!

We can sing a nursery rhyme.

*sings songs* ~be yourself~

*sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star*

[S]: Advertisers dont be scared~

[M]: Please stay with us nothing happened here

[S]; We're a wholesome married couple

What do you think is in this one?

It smells savory-er

Remember what it said?

But that's sugar on top isn't it?

That's sugar on top

No. I think this is sweet um

I don't know what it was

Oh, it could be something with pumpkin or cream or

I have no idea [S]: No idea

[M]: Let's just try it out [S]: All right

So this to me

looks like a sweet cheese-filled thing. [M]: Hello?

Is that cheese in there?

I don't know what this is.

[S]: This just looks, I don't even think there's anything here.

[M]: Let's stop investigating and let's take a bite

Wow, the outside is super

buttery and yummy like a pretzel meets croissant

Oh my god, this is amazing.

Is this filled with butter?

I think this is just a butter roll

See, Martina and I have different opinions on this

she loves croissants

I don't really like the outside of croissants.

I like the inside though.

This is filled with a piece of butter

I thought this was cheese on the inside, but it's actually just - [S]: Just butter

[M]: They're like what should we put inside this bun?

And someone's like

I don't know... butter?

This is not a croissant as well, by the way

How dare you, fine sir

It's like a croissant roll

But the bread tastes more like

Like savory baguette bread

I mean I'd like to finish this, but we have more to go

So I'm just gonna roll mine up and keep it.

I think it's time for us to do a dedicated sweet dessert.

Oh man I just got the nub filled with all the butter!

You missed out

Did I?

That end nub?

Was just like

A tablespoon of salted butter,

lovingly placed inside the tube

where it gathered with a delicious crunch

[M]: You missed out [S]: I did

For our next one we have

CASUTADO, or custard

and there's a little description here just in case you didn't know

"This taste warms the cockles of the heart."

What's a cockle?

Isn't a cockle something you find on a clam?

I would imagine you give this to somebody

who's like really bitchy

You'd be like, "Here. I'll warm up your

Heart Cockles."

Warm your heart cockles you -

*sing wholesome songs*

I see this custard hole right there
