» THE TRADITIONAL FOOD IN MADAGASCAR

1. TSENA’NY TANTSAHA TALATAMATY: Rice Porridge + Chinese Noodle Soup
ADDRESS: Talatamaty City
OPEN: 3AM - 7AM (or whenever the police shut it down)

Four miles outside of Madagascar’s capital city, Antananarivo, lies Talatamaty City. Talatamaty City is home to one of the country’s largest local morning markets, Tsena’ny Tantsaha. Sellers open up shop at 3am, selling everything from produce to fabrics. And lucky for us, the market has no shortage of food to try as well.

🥣RICE PORRIDGE: Zebu (Malagasy cattle) and sausage are mixed with leaves, ginger, special Malagasy rice, porridge and spices.

🥡CHINESE NOODLE DISH: Pasta, macaroni, potato, mayonnaise and zebu skin.

2. TALATA VOLON’ONDRY: Sausage + Koba
ADDRESS: Talata Volon’ondry
OPEN: Varies

Talata Volon’ondry is a village located just outside of Antananarivo. The village is known for producing sausage and Madagascar’s national snack, koba.

🥔SAUSAGE: There are typically two types of sausage being sold - zebu sausage and a halal style potato sausage. This snack is frequently accompanied by local rum.

🇲🇬KOBA: Lay out banana leaf spines with banana leaves on top. Add a layer of rice flour to prevent the koba mixture from sticking to the banana leaves. Then add the koba mixture, a combination of crushed raw peanuts and sugar. Wrap it all up in the banana leaves and allow it to cook in a bit of water for 3 days.

Koba is beloved across Madagascar, primarily sold on the street or to people in their cars as they drive through a city. The fuel from the ingredients gives people energy and helps them stay full even when walking long distances without and source of food along the way.
💸PRICE: Sausage .14 USD/500 MGA | Koba .50 USD/1,756 MGA

🥒ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. People either enjoyed my undeniable charm or enjoyed watching me eat things like coconut worms, and thus Best Ever Food Review Show came to be.

I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer. If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

Don’t forget to subscribe to Best Ever Food Review Show, so we can connect through food and travel and become Bestys!

No matter where he goes, he respects the people's culture

Respect.

[kendrabutts]

I like this guy for how respectful he is but also for how he’s able to act casual and open people up

[gerolegamit]

The great thing about this food review channel is not just the food review itself, but the depth of culture it touches every time a new delicacy is presented. One of a kind channel.

[Issagoddess]

I freakin Love Sonny. He is the perfect nomadic spirit. So open minded, respectful, enthusiastic and humble

[jaredbarton]

"Is it safe to eat, you think?"
"We never know."

Joel is a great guide.

[KarleneE]

What I especially love about this episode is that we get to see the people. All specials about Madagascar are typically about the flora and fauna. The people are beautiful. I respect Sonny's approach to everyone too!

[laurenjackson]

I officially like this guy. I love how respectful he is to the culture & people. I thought him complimenting the lady was very sweet 8:20 & put a smile on my face

[farizkebek]

I am a Malay from Malaysia. It's amazing to see our long lost siblings, the Malagasy people and their culture. Some of them looks like us Malay/Austronesian, some of them looks more like African, some of them mix from both.

[AI-xejr]

It’s crazy how people explore my culture and are amazed. I’m so use to it I almost forget how special it is.

[lamdelmundo]

"grab some rum, grab some sausage, and wait to be yelled at"

[dcu]

[ljplatano]

I went to madagaskar this summer and it was great time. We spent time at several places Antsirabe, Ambositra, Morondava, Tulear, Ambalavao. I love zebu meat, bruchetta, koba, mofo gasy, and so many other things! Can't wait to go back next year!
