From Milan it’s very soft okay and we put natural everything is artisanal and natural ingredients so the natural East we Callo MRE I don’t know if if you know the name and then inside there are raisin and a little bit of uh this orange is cuted in the little pieces and

Uh and then we cover with sugar and with almonds wow the legend says that guy that was working in the kitchen of the king the king asked him to make a new cake for Christmas and he was not he didn’t really know what to do so I start

To take some ingredients here and there and this thing the paneton came up by chance basically so he tried and he finally had a good cake that the king liked and as everything that the king liked back in the days became a trend the name of the guy was

Tony pan in Italiano means bread so it should have been it should have been Pony Tony’s bread okay okay wow such a cool history as [Laughter] well oh here comes a slice yes oh not well if the whole thing is 1 kilo that’s like a a 100 G slice it’s such a

A little bit of the ricotta of the canol on the sides wow okay this is the best seller here okay okay this is your most popular one yes sure if you like love to try I love pistachio so you have to try this one absolutely Pistachio Pistachio right

Pistachio okay I’ll start saying pisto I’m teaching all the proper words okay from the scarpet Scara yes this is green because there is pistachio inside and no raisin no candid so it’s a different kind different flavor oh you can see it’s really fluffy see but really has a nice

Crust around the outside I nuts yeah I suggest to do the first bite without the cream without the cre okay you feel the real flavor and then and then the cream is the cream is kind of a modern Edition is that okay okay okay Cheers Cheers feels like

Cras it is very festive yes you can feel a celebration in your mouth it’s really fluffy Airy the raisins in there oh you don’t have raisins in yours because it’s really nicely packaged is it something that people would buy as a gift yes or yes like like something

Almost a a cultural yes Christmas it’s a big deal so if you arrive with an artisanal panon everybody will be happy so something that’s very special part of the culture in Milan it was born in Milano but it’s Italian Christmas cake they all yes they eat it everywhere because it’s the

Iconic Christmas uh K I like it okay I’m going for the cream M mhm mhm oh she knows what she’s doing yes that does oh I that takes her to the next level and so that’s the same cream as in the the canolo yes that’s rot that’s why it kind of has that

Cheesy taste to it yes delicious she said this is her top seller pistachos in the crust oh and you can see all the different layers it’s really an art now I want to know which one is the best I mean oh yeah pistachos are pistachos

Bra are hard to beat I mean one of the greatest nuts on Earth and I’m not that big of a cake lover but this one has a great texture to it’s almost a cross between a bread and a cake but really flavorful really easy to eat especially

With go well with coffee great to taste another dish well a cake that’s something that you have to try when you come to Milan for sure man that is really really good that was fantastic the owner is so friendly and before we go to the next place we need to

Energize this is a very welln place for Chate oh okay this is the paradise of chocolate coffee Breck coffee Breck yes the next dish that we’re going to eat is something that’s very special a type of cheese that is from Milan actually a town like within Milan and

This is a traditional cheese so we’re going to stop here at the local Salia to try it uh they have three uh different types of Gorgonzola the sweet Gorgonzola the version and the spicy Gorgonzola oh nice so this one is the the spicy one no this is sweet sweet yes oh okay

This place is absolutely incredible just the highest quality of condiments of wines and beverages they have some precooked Foods um and then all the chakeri all the different meats and then all the different cheeses but again we came here specifically to try gargona one of the prized cheeses of Lombardi of

Milan that originates in gargona which is a kind of a town within Milan but then there Al I mean that’s it originates there but then everybody kind of makes their own version in the surrounding area around Milan so it’s a cheese really of Milan Origins that I can’t wait to

Try means SP oh there sweet okay okay I don’t think I’ve ever had gargona in my life this is going to be my first time I’m this is my initiation into gargona I would start with the sweet one okay and the mustard oh yeah he brought

Out something for us to try they look like candied cherries but not at all right not at all not at all not at all it’s a surprise it’s a surprise it’s going to be pun by P by okay okay we have the two different versions of the

Garona this one is the sweet version you can see it’s already melting they look totally different also the sweet and the spicy let’s go in the sweet gargona oh yeah it’s literally literally melting I mean it’s cold and it’s starting to melt even I have to do like this so sticky ch

Ch then oh man oh that’s incredible okay then chaste us one of these oh man what is that that’s like a it tastes like a cherry with horse radish but it’s not a cherry at all no no but it’s like a fruit or something right no no no it’s

Mustard only mustard mhm the it’s gelatin of mustard we have to go inside to ask the way they make it gelatin of mustard oh man okay probably cuz it’s the sweet gargona it doesn’t have a strong taste to it it’s very wait for the other one okay okay I mean it is

Similar to Bri almost in that yes yes inde in flavor wise like mild and mild and creamy this version yes then you will see the difference with the spicy one the spicy one chin chin and then you have to look into the eyes Chin Chin EXA chin you cannot have the gonzala without

A good glass of red wine that’s what he recommended he said we needed some wine with this so we accepted oh yeah that does enhance it okay let’s move on to the real so the the spicy version is the traditional go gonzilla you mentioned make my first

Bite of the gonzala really count yeah there’s a there’s a big nugget of G gonzala oh I mean it’s smells good actually smells good but if you stay in a closed room with these open it’s okay this is amazing yes very good okay the aftertaste is a bit

Stronger goes down your throat a little bit up your nose a little bit but it’s really good it’s really creamy has such a complexity of fermentation I love it and that combination with the bread with these little horseradish gelatin balls and the wine it’s spectacular some more bread I told you cannot have

Without bread I told you in Italy it’s a must have must have bread now you start to trust me yes I I do oh I’m loving the G gonzilla the spicy one and sard that you’re going to try the the one with mold mold man the veins of mold are

Where the flavors at man these gelatin in mustard balls amazing and it just goes so well together with the Cheese that was extraordinary man that was some good Cheese Wow so we we got a table to sit outst but we’re going to go to the kitchen first and see some of the cooking some of the dishes that we’re going to eat what a kitchen down here oh it’s warm cooked in oil and [Applause] butter the elephant Ear wow I close the Fire oh you can see that’s starting to Brown perfectly golden Oh that’s ready yes wow oh look at that Sizzle I said we oh nice oh that goes directly on top and cherry tomato very nice okay oh salad it’s classic of Milan okay okay beautiful next up on this tour we’ve come to again I think when it comes to

The food of Milan the osuko with the the risoto is up there maybe as the most popular dish but then maybe the most homely most comforting dish might be the Cota Al Milan the ve cutlet smashed down until it’s thin breaded and then fried in butter until golden crispy so maybe

Let’s go in bye bye bye I go this way all right and I’ll go this side oh man it’s tender oh it’s crispy oh look at the insides of that smashed down ve here m mhm you can add a little bit of salt if you want oh

Man juicy and succulent fatty on the inside crispy Brown on the outside and because it’s kind of shallow fried it’s not that like extreme crispiness but it’s that like Pleasant crispiness the aroma of the butter Can You Feel the butter mhm it’s Rich this is good it’s

Definitely Rich you’re not it’s not a light meal in Milan nothing is light in Milan okay let’s have another bite of the Thea the ve rib oh man and I do love it with that arugula with the tomatoes as well that adds a nice touch to it a nice

Freshness to contrast the the richness mhm that is so good next up one of the the dishes that this restaurant is famous for is their seafood pasta seafood linguini lingu lingu lingu okay lingu it’s another word that ends with the E it’s always e and what a what a process

Cooking stays hot in a blanket of dough okay let’s let’s scoop out some I want to try that razor clam oh it’s it fell out it fell okay we’ll have to search for it we’ll send a search there it is I found it I found

You oh no the first time in my life that I tried that kind of muscle it was like three four years ago oh really never tried that before okay okay here we go got to have that razor clam this place is also well known for their Seafood as katar was actually

Explaining to me seafood is known to be very high quality in Milan because it’s it’s one of the bigger cities I mean it’s the capital in the north of Italy and so Seafood from around Italy there’s a demand for seafood so some of the freshest Seafood is immediately uh

Imported directly to Milan and so you’ll find some amazing Seafood including this place which specializes in seafood and their seafood pasta so we had to try the seafood pasta while while we’re here so this is not necessarily A A Milan specific dish but it is common and it is

Popular uh Seafood is very common in Milan oh that’s good the flavor of the basil is just embedded within that pasta the all oil the tomatoes are not overpowering a little bit of acidity a little bit of sweetness the razor clam is amazing you taste the flavor of the

Squid the clams in there all the juices Blended together and that cooking technique was amazing and then finally we’ve got to have the pizza and this is um diola diavola with a spicy salami spicy salami and this is the the Milan style of pizza which is a little bit

Different from napoi little bit different from other parts of Italy man that looks delicious the cook the pizza with the egg oh okay my first time to try a Milan style pizza oh spicy yes yes the spicy salami oh man it’s so flavorful juicy oily the olive oil finish the flavor of

The basil the tomatoes the dough is really good as well that spicy salami just fills your mouth with this meaty spiciness that so good now you were to the part where you can kind of pick it up with the bone the bone is still attached how could you you not just pick it

Up it has a handle it’s one of the great things about a Milan style Cota or Costa I think with the bone is called a Costa that is just the perfect balance of moist interior crispy exterior just the aroma of butter the crispiness the richness oh what do we have

Hereon to finish the dinner very well okay okay to digest so this is a digestive yeah yeah but you have to drink all the bottle yeah okay digest everything that they throw in their body today and what is it made from is it grapes it is grapes okay this would be

Common after a meal the graa digestive after this meal after this meal okay go slowly with the graa and don’t shot it oh yeah that’s good oh yeah you can feel it’s not here it’s I can feel the I can feel the cheese starting to digest already that was a great experience the

Restaurant is called IL sestino and yeah really friendly from here we are still continuing with this tour eating 10 dishes that you have to eat when you’re in Milan but Katarina had another appointment that she needs to go to so uh we’re saying goodbye to her but she’s

Amazing she was able to arrange so much and she’s so passionate she does local food tour she’s a local guide in here in Milan and she just has such a huge passion for Milan but let’s go eat some more in between meals we had a little bit of time to walk around this

Afternoon and so we stopped by what is the most impressive iconic site of Milan the dumo de Milano this is the Cathedral of Milan from what I was reading the original structure dates back to 1386 but then they’ve kept on adding construction to it unbelievable especially when you’re at the front of

The the face it’s so huge an architectural Marvel a Monumental cathedral in Milan and then this entire area I mean there’s so many shopping walking streets around here and then one of the main squares Gathering areas in Milan uh just an amazing place to walk around to Explore next up we’re at a place that’s credited with popularizing one of the most well-known sandwiches in all of Italy and this is the spot called bar quadron welcome to Bar quadron and this place is historical it’s legendary in Milan from what I was reading nobody quite knows where a panini was invented

Or Panino which is a little sandwich uh but it’s definitely Northern Italy somewhere and this place right here is credited with really popularizing The Gourmet pan which became popular I think in the’ 60s 7s 80s and so this place has a lot of history it’s a really local

Place really cool place got two different paninis to try man these are beautiful can’t remember which one is which but we’ll try them both cheese oh this one has uh mustard I think oh and I like how it’s just folded into the panini oh the mustard in this

One the cheese I’m not sure if this one if that’s coming but a thick slice of cheese really creamy and Rich really crispy toasted bread oh it’s delicious oh man it’s both like rich in filling yet light and fluffy all at the same time cafe or just a a quick

Espresso oh yeah oh that’s so good okay let’s try the next Panini I think it’s the one of their famous sandwiches the Drago compto I think it is um because it includes Pate layed in with the huge slices of Bri and thato oh yes man that’s good man that thick size of GRE

The richness of the Pate then all of that P which is sliced so thin fluffy crispy what a sandwich oh it’s so good they’re both really good but I do especially like the one with the pickled peppers in there as well as all that mustard mhm the acidity of the pickled peppers

The extra sauciness and the bite of the mustard just really adds to it for me and also contrast the flavor of that ham I mean they’re not that small I mean not huge but then they just go down so easily I think that bread kind of collapses you’ve got the crispiness of

The bread it’s not that heavy it’s fluffy um yeah goes down so easily all at once you’re to the end of your Sandwich good evening and we’re continuing with our Italian food tour tonight we’re going to a restaurant which is called Al Matel which is a family run tror serving traditional Milan or lombardian Cuisine nice place I love how warm and cozy it is in here and

We are here like right as they open and so that’s why it’s not full yet oh oh man the owner came out and met us she is incredible and let me just uh we’re I think we’re going to just be able to see a little bit in the kitchen

Um but I mean she is an auntie that you want to be cooking for you this is a historic a historic tror white TR oh yeah this is a white for you for your Penta oh for the penta oh amazing oh it’s smells so good I can smell that

Aroma the white truffles Al this restaurant it dates back to 19 19 62 and Miss El who is the owner she has been preserving the historic recipes of the Lombardi region of Italy and Northern Italy and she is the one who just ensures the authenticity the the tradition of the recipes everything home

Thank oh man this is such a cool restaurant and such friendly family environment you really feel like you’re coming to auntie auntie El’s home um and we got some of the absolute Classics of Lombardi quisine of dishes that you’ve got to try when you come to Milan we’re

Going to start with the Tria tripa is tripe or stomach and it’s been stewed down this is one of the most humble one of the most loved and just I think it’s a comfort food in Milan so let’s begin with a Al Milan and uh I think most of

The dishes actually tonight are served with penta oh man and I’m a I’m a huge fan of tripe I love tripe so always excited to order tripe especially when it’s cooked by Auntie El m m oh man it’s tender it’s salty not a lot of spices in it but you taste like

Maybe some sweetness of carrots celery in there oh man the onions I think mainly I think it’s just the texture of that Tri so tender with a little bit of a chewi to it oh it’s really tasty really really good I mean you can immediately tell how clean

The tripe is there’s no kind of organy or irony taste to it just really clean almost kind of feels like pasta in your mouth uh with a little bit of a a chewiness to it but yeah really good really clean uh just pure that’s really pure tripe okay the next dish that we’re

Going to try is called mandilli this is another are they oh they’re whole let’s just take a well actually let’s slice into it oh yes and stuffed with ve on the inside cabbage on the outside and a tomato sauce man these are really really hearty this is the winter version of

Mandilli so I think the summer version is different maybe smaller these are more hearty uh maybe warmer and especially for the winter time oh man the real just just melts in your mouth you’ve got that cabbage wrapped around the outside and then that tomato sauce which is nice and tart but

Literally the inside seems almost like it’s mixed with rice on the inside the next dish that we’re going to try which is a small Mountain on your plate and that’s from Lombardi and it’s called casola and it is a dish that’s dedicated to the pig I believe historically it was

Prepared especially when there was a fresh slaughtered Pig and the better parts of the meat such as the legs would go to make ham or go to make other uh Pres reserved prized Meats but you’d have all these odds and ends from the the feet to the skin to some ribs to

Some other parts of the pork and so that would be stewed with cabbage over a long period of time until literally fall apart tender and that became a dish that is one of the the most important dishes especially in the winter time there’s even a a festival there’s even a single

Day I believe in January when literally everyone eats this dish well look oh that’s an entire piece of skin on the top oh with cabbage on the bottom and I think ribs on the bottom too ribs there could be ankle okay that’s the whole Trotter the whole uh pig foot all the

Gelatin oh man so many different parts all the all the greatest parts of the pig and ribs that cabbage is so aromatic as well okay I’ll take I got a rib and then I’m definitely going to go in for that that foot as well get all that

Cartilage all the gelatin oh man it’s almost hard to pick up it’s so tender it’s just melting wow that totally just liquefies on your tongue just melts the skin the fat you actually taste within the pork fat you taste the flavor of the cabbage the sweetness of the Cabbage oh man oh man

That’s good oh man it’s sticky it’s gooey it’s gelatinous yes it’s bouncy I can’t wait to try the Cabbage oh man mhm wow I think the Cabbage might be the best part of the dish it’s just absorbed the pork fat it’s retained its sweetness it’s so tender that it melts in your

Mouth oh the cabbage is amazing the ribs oh literally it’s going to be one of those ribs where the bone is just completely clean where the meat just totally collapses look at that yes oh oh it just flakes apart oh yeah oh man the rib the cream

Creaminess of the rib all the tenderness again the Cabbage has been embedded with the Pig and the pig has been embedded with the cabage I think that’s the greatest thing about this dish so the next dish we’re having is Penta and again we’ve had Penta on as a side on

Many of the other dishes but Penta is something that’s very common that you have to eat when you come to Milan and this literally on the menu I think this is the one they call it the end of the world Penta this is like the penta that

Just changes the game on the next level and Auntie eldi she prepares this with penta on the bottom there’s fried eggs and yolks on that then they have some fresh porini mushrooms that goes on top and then she shaves on the fresh white truffle on top that is incredible oh I’m going

In oh the yolk oh look at the yolk the fried eggs the yolk is sprouting out oh man what a dish what a way to eat Penta oh wait for that cross-section if I can get it out oh wow oh what a dish oh man that is how

You take Penta to the next level the duo of ultra aromatic mushrooms really aromatic flavor but more of a a little bit of a slimy texture but that just melts in your mouth you’ve got the Runnin of the yolk and then just that shave of white truffle that just give it this unbelievable

  1. Wow, definitely an ultimate food extravaganza. Starting from the first risotto and ossobuco and ending with the grandmotherly "end of the world" polenta. That last place had some Polish vibes with the cabbage rolls and stewed pork with cabbage. Thanks Mark and Ying. Didn't catch Micah. I hope he's doing well

  2. Mark, you should bring your wife and kids traveling with you. Maybe you do and we just never see them. As we learn in God's perfect word that children in a marriage are the reward from God. So if you can make the travel work with the kids all the better. I guess there is homeschooling options etc.

  3. Mark doing very good, he loves what he doing that makes his videos more real and the review he gives and the whole feeling he has is very joyful while watching Mark's video.
    Keep on Mark
    Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy new year 🎆

  4. The whole respectful cultural + cuisine trip is mesmerising. Happy New Year Mark and family. May 2024 bring you many blessings. 🙂

  5. Thank you for coming to Milan, a beautiful city with a great culinary past of the highest level. Apart from the panettone which is difficult to make at home and the very elaborate truffle one, all the others are part of the home cooking of the Milanese during these festive periods. Until we meet again
