what he's doing he's hit an egg with a spoon and he's kind of taking the shell off gently removing the show from the egg in such a way that the egg will no longer have a show on it and then he's gonna dice it in half so we have various options here for toppings guys it's not just an egg okay he's putting in some cuts and barring a bit of onion and tomato maybe cucumber a little bit of salt what's that one it's cheeky oh yeah okay good that's you do this how much is it for 120 okay you can keep this that's a hundo I think it's kind of fun dad not every episode works out so look at that we've got some salt - chili salt tomato it's kind of a Kenyan salsa oh here we go let's try it out a little refreshing salt to taste in there I like it we have all of sir in front of us and it's called an attachment yeah it's frozen this is like $50 of booyah we can't eat it so we're gonna get lunch for 20 cents you don't always get what you want in life same goes for this show as the Sun sets our frozen lobsters and that giant king fish hit the grill with no chance of cooking through anytime soon
I have been out hustled but this is indeed a beachside barbecue like no other the Sun Goes Down the beach empties out and I pay our self-proclaimed chef in the form of frozen seafood and head to the car those eggs though those eggs were pretty good guys thank you so much for watching and a huge thank you to Wendy for joining me on this amazing journey here in Kenya you can follow along at her Instagram right here on the screen also for you guys if you're headed to Vietnam anytime soon I highly recommend a company called one trip one trip is the highest rated tour company in Vietnam doing tours from north to south in all major cities including hanoi 'no chang Danang boy m and saigon you can experience food tours adventure tours.
