Nick:
I checked in to the world's most insane
hotels to see which one has the best food.
00:00
Like this $25,000-a-night penthouse that
comes with a 3 Michelin Starred chef,
00:04
a $50,000 underwater hotel...all the way
up to this $100,000 hotel on the sea
00:08
with my 3 younger brothers.
00:15
But it all starts with this
$1 capsule hotel in Tokyo, Japan.
00:16
And because it's just a $1 hotel,
I had to get all my food
00:20
from a Japanese convenience store.
00:24
I got the viral fruit sandwich, tuna
mayonnaise onigiri, some fried chicken,
00:25
this famous ice cream bar
and some Japanese strawberry milk
00:29
to wash it all down.
00:32
Fried chicken first...
00:33
This is some of the most juicy and well
seasoned fried chicken I've ever tasted.
00:35
The way these Japanese onigiris work
is pretty cool.
00:38
You peel off the outside,
then you carefully pull off either side
00:41
to wrap the seaweed around the rice.
And it should still be nice and crispy.
00:44
Mm-hmm!
Look at that tuna mayo on the inside!
00:48
But I think these strawberries look
even better.
00:50
Now we can try this dessert bar.
00:54
<i>(Whispers:)</i>
I think this crunch is gonna wake people up.
00:56
Look at all the layers!
00:59
Last thing: strawberry milk.
01:01
Nick:
That has to be the most refreshing...
01:05
Bayashi:
Please be quiet, because I'm trying to sleep.
01:08
Next up is our $100 hotel, which just so
happens to be a water park in Texas.
01:13
Nick: And for this one,
I brought along my friend, Ryan.
Ryan: Greetings!
01:17
Nick:
Ryan, they're probably wondering
why we're soaking wet.
01:20
Ryan:
Oh! That's because we went to the water park.
01:22
Nick:
I'm gonna have Ryan explain what happened,
because he's really good at explaining things.
01:24
Ryan:
Nick and I entered this water park
with excitement in our eyes.
01:27
There's so many slides to choose from.
01:30
We immediately started
with the big drop slide.
01:32
Nick went first, of course...
He's so brave... But I went faster.
01:34
We raced on some mats.
01:37
I won that race. Pretty cool.
01:39
We did the big whirlpool slide.
01:40
That was really fun on the big inflatable
thing. Look at this drone shot!
01:42
Sick drone shot.
I wasn't even scared or screaming.
01:45
Look how scared Nick looks!
01:47
He's so scared.
We did the flowrider...
01:49
I stayed on my mat much longer than Nick.
01:51
Nick was able to stand up,
but honestly, he got lucky.
01:53
It's not even that cool.
My ride was way cooler.
01:55
Look at this footage!
I think it's awesome.
01:57
And now here we are, in the coolest
room in the entire hotel.
01:58
Ready for a room tour?
02:01
Nick:
I'm so excited for this, because Ryan is
so good at room tours.
02:02
Ryan:
Room tour! Welcome to our Bunk Bed Safari
Room, where there's so much to see,
02:05
so much to do and have fun with.
02:09
Nick: Ah!
Ryan: You're wet still. You should get off that.
02:11
Ryan: That's my bed. I want my moisture on it.
Nick: Your what?
02:12
Ryan:
As you can see, there's beanbags.
02:15
There's art of animals.
02:17
Nick:
The wallpaper in this room is a preview
of our next hotel room.
02:19
Ryan:
Are you going to Africa?
02:22
Nick:
Close. We're going to a wildlife hotel with
lions that come right up to the hotel room doors.
02:23
Ryan:
And you brought me to the water park?
02:28
Nick:
Yeah, because you love water parks.
02:29
Ryan:
I'm happy here. I've never felt so alive
than I did on that slide.
02:30
Nick:
Ryan's here for the water park...
02:34
I'm here for the food.
Should I just snap the food in like this?
02:35
Ryan:
Oh, my goodness! That's a big burger.
02:38
This might be the biggest burger
I've ever laid eyes on.
02:40
It looks juicy... It looks tender...
02:42
There's so many different textures
and colors.
02:44
The wing on top is a nice touch.
02:46
You're gonna get some
of that Buffalo flavor.
02:47
I'm seeing ingredients that I've never put
02:49
on a burger before, and I'm excited.
02:51
Nick:
There's a big question here.
We've got one drum and one flat.
02:52
Which one are you picking?
02:55
Ryan:
I'm picking the flat.
02:56
Nick:
I'm picking the drum.
02:57
Ryan:
Spam the comments with "flats or superior"!
02:58
Nick:
Drums are better.
03:00
Ryan:
"Flats Nation", wake up!
03:01
It's time to wake up.
03:02
Nick:
Should we eat?
03:03
Ryan:
Yeah. Let's eat!
03:04
Nick:
This burger is huge.
This is bigger than Ryan's head.
03:05
Ryan: It's not though.
Nick: Whoa!
03:08
The bacon is crispy.
The cheese is perfectly melted.
03:11
The bun is soft and fluffy.
03:14
Ryan:
It's actually really tasty. I did not
expect it to have such good texture.
03:15
How does this compare to what you think
you're gonna eat in the rest of the video?
03:18
Nick:
Oh! There's some crazy food
in the rest of the video...
03:21
Like this surf and turf underneath
a shark infested ocean,
03:23
and even our next meal at a hotel
in the middle of a zoo.
03:26
Ryan:
So you sure I can't come to the next segment?
03:29
Nick: I am so sure.
Ryan: Okay.
Nick: But...
03:31
Ryan:
Oh, my goodness!
03:34
Nick:
What happens if you snap?
03:35
Nick: Woo!
Ryan: Oh, my gosh!
03:36
Nick:
You brought candy.
03:38
Ryan:
I brought Joyride.
03:39
Nick:
Let's go! Can you just describe
that milkshake for a second?
03:39
Ryan:
This milkshake is like a milkshake you've
never seen before. We have donut hole on top,
03:42
sprinkles, whipped cream, bigger donut,
more whipped cream and sprinkles.
03:46
Nick:
It's like the ultimate milkshake.
03:50
This is turning out to
be the best day ever.
03:53
Sitting in a water park
hotel in the bunk bed suite
03:54
soaking wet with you,
eating candy and milkshakes...
03:56
Ryan: Can I come to the next hotel?
Nick: No.
03:59
We've made it to Australia for
our $1,000 hotel room.
04:01
And for this one, I brought along
my friend, Bayashi.
04:04
Bayashi: Hey, guys!
Nick: Before we go in the room...
04:06
Tell them your favourite animal!
04:08
Bayashi:
I really like lions.
04:09
Nick:
Then you're gonna love this hotel.
04:10
Bayashi: Ooh!
Nick: This is Jamala Wildlife Lodge,
a hotel built entirely inside a zoo.
04:12
And this room happens to be located
inside the lion habitat...
04:18
meaning we'll be sleeping and eating
just feet away from them.
04:21
First thing...we gotta
put on the bathrobes.
04:23
It's really soft.
Now we can explore.
04:25
Let's start over here!
We've got a beautiful living room.
04:27
Nick:
Bayashi, let's get some cake here, buddy!
04:32
Bayashi: Oh-ho-ho-ho!
Nick: They're coming. This is so cool.
04:34
I can't believe how close he is to the glass.
04:38
Bayashi:
This is my favourite day ever.
04:40
Nick: Wanna take a big slice?
Bayashi: Ooh-hoo-hoo!
04:42
Nick:
Oh-ho-ho! That's such a beautiful piece of cake.
04:43
I can't believe we're just in a hotel room
with lions that close.
04:48
The only time I've ever been closer to
a lion was...when I fed one a giant steak,
04:50
which was incredibly scary.
04:54
I say we explore the rest of our hotel.
04:56
Bayashi: Let's go!
Nick: There's only one bed.
04:57
What do we do for that?
04:59
Bayashi:
I want to use this.
05:00
Nick:
What am I supposed to do?
05:01
Bayashi:
You can do this...
05:02
All the money that we paid for this hotel
room here goes to animal conservation.
05:06
I'll let him explain the rest.
I'm gonna keep exploring.
05:09
Bayashi:
Uh... Your money save animals...
05:11
if you sleep in this hotel room.
05:15
Nick:
Bayashi, we are about to eat a 4 course,
award winning Australian dining experience.
05:18
Bayashi:
4 course... Wow!
05:23
Nick: Thank you!
Bayashi: Wow!
05:24
Nick: No, no, no!
Bayashi: What?
Nick: Listen!
05:25
Before we start eating...
we are missing one thing.
05:26
Bayashi:
I wanna eat. What's going on?
05:29
Nick: Just wait! Oh!
Bayashi: Whoa!
05:30
Nick:
Wow! That is so cool.
He's gonna eat with us.
05:33
Oh! I'm so distracted now.
05:37
For our first course we've got a wide range
of different local Australian foods.
05:39
I'm gonna start with this fig ice cream cone.
05:43
There are pine nuts... I've got
a beautiful, fresh fig, a little flower...
05:45
This is one of the coolest
appetizers I've ever seen.
05:48
Bayashi:
I have lamb chop.
05:51
Nick:
Mhm! Ooh!
They toasted the pine nuts in here,
05:53
which I absolutely love.
05:56
I've also got these cute little duck legs.
05:57
I feel a little bit bad
eating animals at a zoo.
05:59
Look at that sushi!
06:03
Bayashi:
Wow! Gorgeous. I'm very happy.
06:04
Nick:
I've got a fancy looking scotch egg here.
06:07
Nick: Delicious.
Bayashi: Oyster.
Nick: You like oysters?
06:09
Bayashi:
Yeah. Can I?
06:11
Nick: Sure. You can have it.
Bayashi: Thank you!
06:12
Bayashi: Mhm!
Nick: I'm gonna have some of your pumpkin soup.
06:13
Mhm!
It's velvety... It's creamy...
06:16
Nick: Before the next course...I have a surprise for you.
Bayashi: Really?
06:18
Nick:
Between every course, I set up a visit
with a different animal.
06:21
Bayashi: Wow!
Nick: Let's go!
06:24
Animal #1 is a cheetah.
06:24
Nick: Wow!
Bayashi: Oh!
Nick: What's his name?
06:27
Zookeeper:
His name is Zambi.
You can obviously hear that pur.
06:30
Nick:
This is a good sound.
06:32
Zookepper: Absolutely.
Nick: Oh!
06:33
I think we should go to the second course.
06:34
For course #2 I've got a beautiful tomahawk steak
with a langoustine and scalloped potato,
06:36
while Bayashi has a miso glazed
Chilean sea bass with potato gratin
06:40
and an Australian green salad.
06:44
As always, I think we need to
first cut into this steak.
06:46
What temperature would you guys call that?
Comment below!
06:48
Bayashi:
Nick, can we switch? I love steak.
06:51
Nick:
Sure, we can switch.
06:53
Many people say the best steak
in the world comes from Japan.
06:54
But second is Australia.
06:56
To come to Australia and get
a tomahawk steak like this is a special treat.
06:58
Nick: What?
Bayashi: Can we change knife too?
07:01
Nick:
Because I live in Boston,
I have incredibly high seafood standards.
07:05
This is amazingly cooked fish.
07:08
Bayashi:
Whoa! Can we switch back?
07:11
This salad right here takes the award for the
most color I have ever seen on a salad.
07:13
Bayashi:
I love this so much.
07:17
Nick:
Let's save a little room,
and go look at the next animal!
07:18
Animal #2...lemurs.
07:20
You see how they just grab your
hand and just tell you what to do?
07:23
Watch how he peels the banana
inside his mouth!
07:26
He's eating the whole banana,
and then he drops the peel.
07:28
I think we should probably go
to the third course.
07:30
This one is a quick one.
07:34
It's an iced tea granita.
07:35
Just a quick palate cleanser before dessert.
07:36
It's such a little fine shavings of ice.
07:39
It's a little bit like snow.
07:41
Bayashi:
My brain is frozen.
07:42
Nick:
One more animal before dessert.
07:43
Third animal...giraffes.
07:44
Bayashi:
What is giraffe? Bird?
07:46
Nick:
It's definitely not a bird.
07:48
Nick:
Fun fact: Giraffes' tongues are blue,
so they don't get sunburnt,
07:50
when they eat outside all day long.
07:53
One more carrot...
and we go to Course #4.
07:54
For dessert I've got a multi-layered
dark and white chocolate mousse,
07:56
and Bayashi has a rolled meringue cake
with a passion fruit curd.
07:59
Nick:
I don't normally love white chocolate by itself,
because it's so sweet and overpowering.
08:04
But when you layer it with some
bitter dark chocolate, it balances so well.
08:08
Nick: Do you want to try mine?
Bayashi: Yeah.
Nick: Well...you can't.
08:11
Nick:
You took my food the entire meal.
08:13
Bayashi:
I'm sorry! Last time...
08:15
Nick: You stay here and finish! I gotta keep moving.
Bayashi: Bye!
08:20
Nick:
For our $10,000 hotel food,
we're at the Mandarin Oriental in London.
08:22
I've also brought along my friend,
Chunkz to eat with me.
08:26
Chunkz:
What's up, my peoples?
Excited to get in and eat some food.
08:28
Nick:
This place is fancy.
08:30
Chunkz:
Yeah, I can tell though.
08:31
This is very, very nice.
08:32
Nick:
Believe it or not, we got the penthouse.
08:34
Chunkz:
Oh-ho-ho! Goodness me!
08:35
Nick:
You lead the way. Starting in the kitchen.
I love it.
08:37
Chunkz:
Come on, bro! You're a chef.
08:39
What is this? Oh, wow!
08:41
Nick:
They made that for me.
It even says "Chef Nick" on it too.
08:43
Chunkz: This is like the feng shui.
Nick: Fruit plate...
08:46
Chunkz:
There you go. Wait! There's more to this?
08:50
Nick:
This looks like the guest bedroom.
One of us can sleep here tonight.
08:52
Chunkz:
Oh! Master bedroom!
08:54
I got to sleep right now.
08:57
Chunkz:
Of course, it's not bad.
This is the penthouse, bro.
08:59
Nick:
I will say...the food we're about to eat
comes from 3 of the hotel's signature
09:01
fine dining restaurants, including the Aubrey
and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal,
09:04
which has 2 Michelin Stars.
09:08
Chunkz:
I've never even had Michelin Star food.
09:09
Nick:
Don't be sad!
09:11
Chunkz:
But I will try today. Hey!
09:11
Waitress:
We'll start with the beetroot crackers.
09:13
Nick:
These look amazing. I mean...
they look light... They look crispy...
09:15
You know...I'm not even a big fan
of beets, and I like that.
09:18
Chunkz:
I hate beetroot...but this is nice.
09:20
Nick:
This is good.
09:22
Chunkz:
The crisp...
09:22
Chunkz: Oh!
Waitress: This is crab florentine.
09:23
Chunkz: Crab florentine...
Nick: Cheers!
09:25
Chunkz:
Cheers! Mm!
09:27
Nick:
You like crab?
09:30
Chunkz:
I don't...but this is lovely.
09:30
Nick: We have one more crab florentine, please!
Waitress: Yeah.
09:32
Chunkz: One second it's there...now it's gone.
Waitress: And then it's gone.
Chunkz: Yeah.
09:33
Waitress: Meat fruit.
Chunkz: Meat fruit?
09:36
Nick:
You cannot try to tell me that this is
not a tangerine right here...
09:38
But that's a pate inside for the bread.
09:41
I love chicken liver pate.
09:43
This one's a little bit more of like an
acquired taste. Let's see if you like it!
09:45
Nick:
Seems like a "no".
09:50
Chunkz:
Yeah. Maybe no. Yeah.
09:51
Nick:
For me...it's a hard guess.
09:52
As far as pate's come,
this is fantastic.
09:54
Perfectly smooth, well balanced...
09:56
Really well seasoned.
I love this kind of thing.
09:58
Chunkz: Ah-ha-ha-ha!
Nick: Oh-ho!
10:00
Chunkz:
I'm gonna guess what this is. "Quack-quack".
10:02
Waitress:
Yes, correct.
10:04
Chunkz:
Oh! Triple cooked chips.
10:05
Waitress: Yes.
Nick: Wow!
10:06
Look at these chips!
10:08
Chunkz:
That looks rich.
10:09
Nick:
I don't think I've seen a puree
that smooth in my life.
10:10
Chunkz:
It genuinely looks like oil painting.
10:13
Nick:
Let's see what you think about
your first bite of duck here!
10:14
Chunkz:
I'm getting emotional.
10:16
Nick:
I can't believe this is one of your first
times having duck, though.
10:17
Nick:
You hear that crunch?
The outside is so incredibly crispy.
10:20
Chunkz:
But inside...fluffy.
10:24
Nick:
You have great potatoes in the UK.
10:25
Chunkz:
Thank you very much, man!
10:27
Nick: You have nothing to do with the fact that you...
Chunz: Yes, I do.
10:28
Nick:
You didn't do anything.
10:30
Chunkz:
Well...I was there when they were...
uh...discovering them.
10:31
Nick:
I don't know if you're full yet,
but let's have a little bit of sushi!
10:33
Chunkz:
This looks good.
10:36
Nick:
We have 3 different layers
on this one right here.
10:37
A lot of different stuff to choose from.
10:39
Chunkz:
Now...let me tell you something
you're gonna be shocked about!
10:41
I've never tried raw sushi.
10:42
Take it! Take it!
Let me give it to the boss!
10:47
Nick:
Oh, my God! Charcoal fried chicken.
10:49
Looking at this, you'd think it was
a piece of burnt chicken.
10:51
Nick:
The chef's celebrating in the back.
10:55
Waiter:
No worries...
10:57
Nick:
Miso cod marinated for 2 days.
11:05
Chunkz:
"Me so" excited.
11:07
Nick:
It's so incredibly flaky.
11:09
And it's fall apart tender in your mouth.
11:11
Chunkz:
I could finish the whole thing.
11:12
Nick:
On to desserts... We've got
a tipsy cake with pineapple...
11:13
...and a goat's milk cheesecake with candied figs.
11:17
And of course, that custom cake
they left in our room.
11:21
Chunkz:
Is this an actual knife?
11:23
Nick:
It's made out of cake.
11:24
But the coolest dessert of all
is this one right here...
11:27
Waiter:
Mount Fuji...
11:29
Sometimes it rains.
11:30
Waiter: After the rain the sun is coming out.
Nick: No!
11:33
Chunkz:
Oh! It's like a meringue.
11:36
Where is he? I'm gonna kiss him.
11:39
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It made you feel so good,
11:40
you want to slap your mum.
Hehe!
11:42
Nick:
Fantastic meal.
11:43
Chunkz:
I'm gonna go to my room and sleep now.
11:44
Nick:
Welcome to our $25,000 penthouse suite!
11:47
I brought along my friend, Max,
because we happen to be in Macau.
11:50
And Max speaks very good Chinese.
11:53
Max:
<i>(Speaks Chinese:)</i> I speak a little bit of Chinese.
11:54
Nick:
I didn't tell him this yet...
but the room service is gonna be
11:56
3 Michelin Star Chinese food.
11:58
But first...let's explore the room!
12:00
Max: Really?
Nick: Where do you want to start?
12:02
Max:
This is a joke, Nick.
12:03
Nick:
We get to sleep here tonight.
12:04
Max:
There's so much room for activities.
12:05
Nick:
This is our pool.
12:07
Max:
This isn't just like a baby pool either.
12:08
This is a legit full size pool.
12:10
Nick:
Check out the fruit plate!
12:12
Max:
I've never seen a grape that big in my life.
12:13
Nick: Oh!
Max: Stop!
12:15
Nick:
There's a gym. Can I run 18 miles an hour?
12:16
Max:
We gotta work up an appetite for this lunch.
12:21
I'm officially sweating.
12:25
Nick: You're not gonna believe what's on the other side.
Max: What? What?
12:26
Nick:
You're not... Ah! You're not gonna believe.
12:28
Nick:
Of course, it has a massage room...
and a sauna.
12:34
We are now entering the master bedroom.
12:37
Max:
Can I...uh...?
12:40
Nick:
That's really nice.
12:41
Nick:
Check out the bathroom, Max!
12:42
Max: Look at this shower!
Nick: Dude...
12:44
Nick: This shower is nuts.
Max: This is a...
12:45
Max:
Nick, this is a... Can I come...?
12:47
Nick: Huh?
Max: Can I...? Can I come in?
12:48
Nick: I can't hear you at all.
Max: Can I...?
12:49
Nick! Can I...? Can I come in?
12:51
Nick:
Oh! Automatic toilets.
12:53
Nick:
The final step, before I bring Max and all
of you into the dining room is...
12:56
to put on our bathrobes.
13:00
Before we start our meal... Just
some quick context on this restaurant.
13:01
It's called Jade Dragon.
It's got 3 Michelin Stars,
13:03
and it's one of the best
Chinese restaurants in the entire world.
13:06
I feel like maybe bathrobes are
not the right vibe.
13:10
Max:
I can get behind that. First bite...
13:13
We have some deep fried bread topped with
some sort of prawn and chili sauce.
13:14
Nick:
The consistency of that bite was just
the right amount of chewy, crispy...
13:20
Perfectly well rounded.
13:23
Next up...we have a bunch of
different kinds of dumplings.
13:24
This looks amazing.
13:26
Max:
Apparently, there's Wagyu beef in this one.
13:28
Nick:
Let's start off with the soup dumpling!
13:30
That was the most soup I've ever had
in a soup dumpling, by far.
13:34
Max:
It just exploded.
13:36
Nick:
Try the second one!
13:37
Max:
Mm! That thing is packed to the brim
with lobster.
13:39
Nick:
Alright. How about this Wagyu dumpling?
13:42
Max:
Look at the layers on this thing!
13:43
Nick:
Alright. What are these?
13:47
Max:
Look at that baby abalone!
13:48
Nick:
Why don't you explain to people
what "abalone" is?
13:51
Max:
It is one of the weirdest looking clams
you'll ever see.
13:53
Nick:
That's true. But I know you and I
don't care what it looks like,
13:56
as long as the taste is there.
13:58
Max: Mhm!
Nick: Dude...
Max: Wow!
14:01
Nick:
I didn't even know dumplings could be this good.
14:04
Max:
I like meat...but that one is mind blowing.
14:06
Moving on...
We have this beautiful soup.
14:08
Nick:
The little thin strands there of lemon leaf
on top have one of my favorite smells.
14:10
And look at all the work that's gone into
finely chopping up all the bits and pieces
14:14
The only word that I can say
is just... "Wow!"
14:18
Max: I've never had anything like this in my life.
Nick: No.
Max: It's so unique.
14:21
Nick:
It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
14:24
Max:
This is a soup I will never forget.
14:28
Nick:
Let's take a picture of this moment!
14:30
This next dish is pork 3 ways.
14:33
I don't even know what this first thing is.
14:35
Nick: What is that?
Max: No idea.
14:38
Nick: It's really good.
Max: Really good.
14:40
Nick:
It literally looks exactly like raw tuna,
but it tastes like sweet passion fruit.
14:41
There's Jell-O underneath.
It was kind of hidden in there.
14:45
Oh! I like the Jell-O even better.
14:47
Max:
It's like fresh mint in there.
14:49
Nick:
This piece here with the caviar on top looks
like it's about to have the best crunch ever.
14:50
Nick:
What even is that?
14:57
Max:
It's gotta be the crispiest pork skin
I think I've ever had in my life.
14:58
Nick:
As for the actual pork...
15:02
Max:
Great texture to it.
15:05
Nick:
Every bite, Max, makes me want to
sink lower and lower...
15:06
<i>(Distorted:)</i>
...and lower into my chair.
15:10
Max:
I can't even hear what you're saying
right now. I'm in full pork heaven.
15:12
Nick:
Next up...we have a warm crab butter,
which takes dozens of these Japanese hairy crabs,
15:15
just to make this one dish.
15:19
And it's served with a crispy bread
for dipping.
15:21
A little bit of that balsamic vinegar
on there...
15:23
And then I'm even gonna go
with a little bit of chili oil.
15:24
And that I think is gonna
give this crazy bite.
15:27
Max:
That's the crispiest scallion pancake
I've ever had.
15:32
Nick:
That might be my favorite thing.
15:34
Max:
With the scallion pancake,
15:35
it's reminiscent of...like...
take out Chinese food,
15:37
but it's just on a completely
different level.
15:39
Nick:
Our final dish before dessert is
this winter melon dish.
15:41
It is stunningly beautiful...
but I have absolutely no idea
15:44
what it's gonna taste like.
15:47
Max:
It smells fishy.
15:48
Nick:
I really, really like this one.
15:50
Max:
It's like melt in your mouth tender.
15:52
I thought it'd be sweet...
like a berry glaze.
15:54
Nick:
The red liquid is sort of like a velvety,
creamy chicken noodle soup.
15:56
Max:
This is easily the most beautiful dessert
I've ever seen.
16:01
Nick:
It is the perfect sunflower.
16:04
Max:
I genuinely don't want to break into this.
16:06
Nick: <i>(Whispers:)</i> Wow!
Max: <i>(Whispers:)</i> Jinx!
16:09
Nick: Did we just really do that?
Max: <i>(Whispers:)</i> We did.
16:11
Max:
This is pretty crazy.
16:14
Nick:
I'm finishing mine up fast, because I've gotta
go catch a flight for our next hotel, but...
16:16
I'm gonna let Max finish by himself.
16:19
Max:
Can I come with?
16:20
Nick:
Moving on to our $50,000 hotel room...
16:21
I'm in the Maldives at the Conrad, staying in
their private villa suite called "The Muraka",
16:24
which happens to be the world's
very first underwater hotel room.
16:29
This villa is located in the middle
of the ocean,
16:32
just south of India, and it's so remote,
we had to take 3 flights and a seaplane,
16:34
Bonus points to my seaplane captain
for doing the entire flight barefoot.
16:39
As my guest for this segment,
I've also brought along my friend
16:43
and cameraman, Tim.
16:45
Tim: What's up, guys?
Nick: If you don't recognize Tim,
16:46
you would probably recognize
his mom, Lynja.
16:48
And through Lynja we
became really good friends.
16:50
And now look at this!
16:52
We're staying at one of the most
ridiculous hotel rooms in the entire world.
16:53
Before we eat...
Quick room tour.
16:56
Nick: Hey!
Masyh: Welcome to Muraka!
16:59
My name is Masyh. I'll be the butler.
17:01
Nick:
This villa comes with a chef,
a trainer, a butler and a masseuse.
17:03
Masyh:
If you need me, just call me on my phone!
17:07
Nick:
What is this?
17:09
Masyh:
This is the 17 Pro Max...copy of it.
17:09
Nick:
This might be the coolest thing
I've ever seen. This is my iPhone.
17:12
The real iPhone 17 Pro.
17:14
This is not what I expected to
be focused on in this part of the video.
17:17
This place is insane.
I don't even know where to start the tour.
17:20
There's basically 2 levels to this villa.
17:24
There's an upstairs, where you can get the
infinity pool, and you get this beautiful
17:26
panoramic view of the entire ocean.
17:30
And then there's the downstairs,
the underwater hotel room.
17:32
So let's start with the upstairs!
17:34
This is the upstairs hotel room.
17:36
I've never had a see-through balcony before.
17:39
I just spotted this fruit plate, and I
couldn't resist. 2 of my favorite fruits.
17:40
This is a snake fruit...
This is a mangosteen.
17:44
Tim:
I've never even seen it before.
17:46
Nick:
The individual pieces look almost
like garlic cloves.
17:47
It tastes a little bit like a lychee
combined with a peach.
17:50
The flavor is tropical,
a little milky, creamy...
17:52
It's delicious. And that's probably why
it's known as "The Queen of Fruits".
17:55
Tim:
Check this out!
17:58
Nick:
The snake fruit reminds me a little bit of jackfruit.
18:01
The skin really is scaly,
like a snake.
18:03
This one always smells amazing to me.
18:05
Almost a little bit like bubblegum.
18:08
It comes in these tightly packed pods,
that you can break apart really easily.
18:10
Tastes somewhat like a combination
between pineapple and apple.
18:14
I think it smells a lot better
than it tastes.
18:17
I also shouldn't eat much fruit right now,
18:19
because we are about to have the most
ridiculous lunch in an underwater dining room.
18:21
Oh, baby!
This is the bathroom of all bathrooms.
18:25
The bathtub is perfectly picturesque.
18:28
Tim:
It feels nice. This is luxury right here.
18:31
Nick:
Automatic toilet...
And then this is just...glass...out into the ocean.
18:33
And the ocean is where we'll be
for our final hotel.
18:37
This private $100,000-per-night
floating Paradise.
18:40
Tim:
I don't know how I'd feel just watching you
go to the bathroom.
18:43
Nick:
We're not gonna be in the same room together.
One of us gets overwater...
18:46
One of us gets underwater...
which is exactly where we're heading now.
18:49
If you look out to my left,
you'll see right there...
18:52
That's not a submarine.
18:54
That is the escape hatch...
if you have any issues.
18:55
Tim:
I don't know what to expect.
Is it just gonna be like an aquarium?
18:58
Nick: Did you notice, by the way,
how many steps we're taking down?
Tim: Yes.
19:00
Tim: We are getting lower than I expected that,
that's for sure.
Nick: Isn't this crazy?
19:03
Tim:
Oh, the color's changing.
19:06
Nick:
We're not there yet.
19:07
Tim: Wait! Wow!
Nick: Yeah.
Tim: That's crazy.
19:08
Nick:
We're not there yet. Are you ready?
3, 2...
19:11
Tim:
This is crazy.
19:17
Nick:
What? Oh, my God! A shark!
19:18
That's a huge shark!
19:20
Tim:
That is crazy.
19:21
Nick:
That is a massive barracuda.
19:22
Tim: This is wild.
Nick: How insane is this?
19:24
This is by far the craziest hotel room
I have ever seen.
19:26
Also...at night everything lights up, and
apparently, that's really when the sea life
19:29
Hold on! I'm gonna scare these fish.
Boom!
19:34
They didn't do anything.
19:37
Tim:
It feels a lot like a reverse aquarium.
19:38
The fish are looking at us.
19:40
Nick:
I can't believe how much sea life there is.
19:41
We've seen so many different types of fish.
19:43
There's also whale-sharks
and massive manta rays.
19:45
If I saw a picture or a video of this place,
19:48
I would think it could be fake.
19:50
I feel like the craziest
part about this one is...
19:51
it's got a full bathroom,
that's just overlooking the ocean.
19:52
It's still weird to me, though,
that someone could easily dive down,
19:55
and just watch you go to the bathroom.
19:59
Tim:
Can't you scuba dive?
20:00
Nick:
I'll go out. I'll scuba dive down.
20:01
Maybe it's one-way glass.
20:03
Tim:
Well, there's our answer.
I guess I gotta go meet him for lunch now.
20:04
Nick:
Welcome to the world's first ever
undersea restaurant!
20:07
I've eaten at a lot of places
all around the world,
20:10
and this has to be one of the most
beautiful restaurants I've ever seen.
20:13
A couple quick facts about the restaurant.
It's called "ITHAA", and it's 5 meters below
20:16
sea level in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
20:20
I see more sharks around me right now,
than I think I've ever seen in my entire life.
20:22
Tim:
It is hard not to look at them.
20:26
Nick: Are you scared?
Tim: A little bit.
20:27
Nick:
If it makes you feel better...
20:28
This place has been here for over
2 decades, and survived multiple tsunamis.
20:29
So I think we're pretty safe.
But just in case...
20:33
Nick: Let's eat, before the glass breaks!
Tim: I agree.
20:35
Nick:
Our first course is yellowfin tuna
topped with salmon roe,
20:36
avocado, tomato and crème fraîche.
20:39
Tim:
This is a really beautiful dish.
20:42
The light shimmering on it
just puts it over the top.
20:43
Nick: Wow!
Tim: Very tasty.
20:47
Nick:
Great combination of everything.
The tuna, the avocado...
20:48
The pop that you get, when you bite
into those fish eggs on top...
20:51
It feels wrong to be eating fish
in front of fish.
20:53
Tim:
But they eat fish in front of fish all the time.
20:56
Nick:
Rating on that tuna tartare...
20:59
Tim:
Yeah, I'm giving that a solid 8.
21:01
Nick:
Keep watching! I will jump in with the sharks
21:02
at the end of this segment.
21:04
Nick:
Our second course is a crispy duck
topped with a quail egg.
21:06
Tim:
This is the cutest egg I've ever seen.
21:09
Nick:
The big thing here, Tim...
You want to get that beautiful yolk pop.
21:10
Tim:
Of course.
I think the outside is fried so well.
21:13
Nick:
You have 3 different types of sauces
there, that all mix together with the egg yolk
21:17
to give you a really great bite.
21:20
Tim:
That dish was so pretty. I wish I could have
looked at it for a little bit longer.
21:22
Nick:
Let's keep it moving, because I want to
jump in with the sharks.
21:24
Our third course is a lemongrass sorbet
with sliced lime and coconut.
21:26
This will serve as a palate cleanser.
21:30
Nick: Mm!
Tim: The perfect amount of lemon.
21:32
Nick:
Where I was born and grew up in Rhode Island,
there's this really famous frozen lemonade,
21:34
that everyone has in the summer...
and this is what this tastes like.
21:37
Fresh, cooling lemon with some lemon zest.
21:39
Tim:
It's nice to have a little sweetness
in between all these savory dishes.
21:41
Nick:
For our main course I'll be having a
Maldivian lobster tail with palm puree,
21:44
fennel and apple, while Tim will have a Wagyu
beef tenderloin with a red wine sauce
21:48
and a side of potato, zucchini and mushrooms.
21:52
Tim:
Looks like we got surf and turf.
21:55
Nick got the surf...and I got the turf.
21:56
Nick:
I really love the sauce.
21:59
They've used all the lobster shells,
probably the heads.
22:00
This type of lobster here is spiny lobster.
It doesn't have any claws.
22:02
So all the meat is in the tail.
22:06
It's less sweet, but has a lot more texture,
compared to a classic Maine lobster.
22:08
And the tail is a little bit more tender.
22:11
Tim:
Which one do you prefer?
22:13
Nick:
I'm from Boston, so I still like Maine
lobster the best.
22:14
What do you think about Wagyu beef
under sharks?
22:16
Tim:
The sharks are definitely jealous.
22:18
The beef is extremely tender.
22:20
Nick:
The food has to be really good in a
restaurant like this, because there's so much
22:22
going on above your head, that if the food's
not good, you're gonna be really distracted
22:25
Nick: We've been focused, though.
Tim: We have been.
22:28
For dessert we have a chocolate-hazelnut
parfait with berries and mango sorbet.
22:30
Beautiful dish. I love the coral
in the center of the plate.
22:34
Tim:
This chocolate part here is
the shape of this restaurant.
22:38
Nick:
Oh, it's so incredibly soft.
22:40
It almost looks like a chocolate
graham cracker crust on the bottom.
22:42
Tim:
It's so rich... It's so creamy...
22:46
Nick:
It's sort of like...if you turn Nutella gourmet.
22:48
Tim:
Wait! We didn't have the leaf yet.
22:50
Nick:
Let's see if it gets a snap!
22:51
Good snap. Great crunch.
22:53
Tim:
Nick, I don't think any of us have
forgotten what you still have to do.
22:55
And I'm scared for you.
22:58
Nick:
I do have to do that.
22:59
Tim:
This guy's crazy.
23:00
<i>(Distorted:)</i>
3, 2, 1.
23:01
Tim:
Oh! He scared them.
23:06
Oh, my gosh!
There's the shark...and there's Nick.
23:07
Nick:
And now...for our final hotel...
23:12
My brothers and I are in Greece to board this
$100,000 super yacht called "This Is It".
23:14
And while it may not look like a hotel,
it's basically a giant luxury floating hotel
23:19
on the water.
It's got 6 oceanfront bedrooms,
23:23
a full crew to get us anything we need,
over 2 dozen water toys and a private chef,
23:26
who will later be cooking us
a 5 course Mediterranean dinner.
23:31
If you've never seen my brothers...
This is Cam, Pete and Will.
23:34
Pete: Hey, guys!
Nick: This boat is massive.
23:37
So I'm gonna give everyone their own camera,
and you guys are free to go explore.
23:39
Cam: Awesome. Let's go!
Will: Thank you! Let's do it!
23:42
Nick:
I heard the chef hid a bunch of
little small snacks around the whole boat.
23:43
So as we walk, make sure
you keep your eye out,
23:46
because there's gonna be a lot of food.
23:48
Cam:
I gotta go find my room now.
23:50
Oh, my gosh! Look at this window!
23:51
That's just straight out to the water.
That's insane.
23:54
Will:
Have you ever seen a pool on a boat?
23:56
Will: How sick is that?
Pete: Someone left me a little snack here.
23:59
This looks like a truffle-burrata...
something...
24:02
Definitely truffle.
24:07
I don't know how I ended up with this room.
24:08
Nick:
I believe my bedroom is up this way.
24:10
You gotta be kidding me.
Huh! This cannot be real.
24:12
Welcome to the master bedroom!
24:14
The craziest bedroom I've ever seen.
24:16
Huh! Wow!
It really is a comfy bed.
24:17
We got massive skylights.
24:20
You can look at the
stars when you're in bed.
24:22
This beautiful bathroom
that looks right out into the ocean...
24:24
And a private balcony
that sits right over the pool.
24:26
And we have a few small bites,
just like I said.
24:29
Nick: Let's see! Want some?
Will: Sure, I'll have some.
24:31
Nick:
We've got this truffle and cheese crostini
and these smoked salmon tartlets.
24:33
Nick: Mhm.
Will: That's really good.
24:38
Nick:
Smoked salmon...
24:39
<i>(Distorted:)</i>
Wow!
24:40
Nick:
I wonder what the other brothers are doing.
24:41
Pete:
Guys, I'm now on the bow of the boat,
and I think I found the dinner bell.
24:42
Pete: And now we wait.
Cam: Pete, what are you waiting for?
24:48
Pete: Waiting for dinner.
Cam: It's noon.
24:50
Nick:
Another little snack...
It looks like a little caviar bite here.
24:52
I can tell from all these small bites
that we're finding
24:56
that the dinner is going to be insane.
24:57
Wow! Look at this dining room table!
24:59
Can't even count how many
chairs that is. More food.
25:02
That's gotta be one of the most beautiful
fruit plates I've ever seen.
25:04
The watermelon's unbelievable.
25:07
The chef is really distracting me
with all these food things.
25:09
Will:
I don't even know how many floors
are on this boat.
25:11
Where even am I?
Is that a gym up there?
25:14
Nick:
Nope. This is the bridge.
25:16
This is where the captain steers the ship.
25:17
It's got this beautiful panoramic window,
so you can see everything in front of you.
25:19
And the entire room here is based off
of the movie Star Trek.
25:23
But what I think is most fun...
this entire giant boat is all controlled
25:26
by this tiny little steering wheel.
25:29
They couldn't have made
a bigger steering wheel.
25:31
You can see Cam and Pete
are super excited.
25:32
They've never been on a boat
like this before.
25:34
Cam:
Check this out! All of these water toys...
25:36
Just one of the craziest boats
I've ever seen.
25:38
Nick:
Last area up here is the sundeck.
25:40
Ooh! This Greek sun...
25:42
There's a movie theater
and cinema right here.
25:44
I can't believe we're just plopped
in the middle of the Mediterranean.
25:47
All I can see in every direction
is beautiful blue water...or snacks.
25:50
I got avocado toast now.
25:53
One of the coolest
features about this whole boat is...
25:55
that you can use the toys right
through the center of the boat.
25:57
I think it's time to do what you do
on a mega yacht.
26:00
Let me call the brothers!
<i>(Distorted:)</i> Brothers!
26:02
Nick:
It's time for the dinner we've all been
waiting for. We'll have 5 courses...
26:14
plus a bonus mega yacht kitchen tour,
because I'm sure you've all wondered
26:17
what a kitchen looks
like on a boat like this.
26:21
Course #1 is a fresh Greek cheese
26:23
with roasted red peppers
and grilled asparagus.
26:25
Cam: That's delicious.
Pete: Tastes like very fresh garden herbs.
26:29
Nick:
This is one of those "lick your plate clean"
kind of dishes.
26:31
The creaminess and fat from the cheese,
the smokiness and the roasted red peppers,
26:34
the char on the grilled asparagus,
26:38
the tanginess in the balsamic vinegar...
26:39
It's so well rounded.
26:41
Course #2 is a sea bass ceviche with cherry
tomatoes and all kinds of Greek herbs.
26:42
The "tiger's milk" at the bottom of the ceviche
is so good, because there's ginger,
26:48
all kinds of herbs...
There's the fish, there's the tomatoes...
26:51
They're all working together
to create this sauce.
26:53
Before we move on to Course #3...
we need to all agree right now on the order
26:56
of how we are as cooks.
26:59
Cam:
We can all probably agree...
Nick's the best out of the 4 of us.
27:00
Will: I agree.
Nick: Who's #2?
27:03
Will:
I think overall...it's Pete.
27:04
Cam:
I'm fine with that.
27:06
Will:
I think Cam has more experience than I do,
but my dishes are more flavorful and complex.
27:07
Cam:
I think you could give me a bunch of
different ingredients, and I'd know
27:12
more or less what to do with them.
27:15
Nick:
Pete and I have to decide together. Pete...
27:16
Nick:
We both unanimously agreed on...
27:19
Cam: Oh, wow!
Nick: ...being the worst chef.
27:23
Pete:
Sorry, Cam! Not everyone gets a medal.
27:26
Cam: Pete's been after me. I don't know why.
Will: That was actually ruthless.
27:28
Nick:
Course #3 is a butter
poached lobster tail with corn soup
27:32
Will:
First things first, chef...
27:36
Wow!
Visually...stunning.
27:37
Pete:
Will's been working on those
"Gordon Ramsay impressions".
27:39
Nick:
I feel like people forget that lobster itself
is very sweet.
27:42
So it goes very well with corn,
which is also very sweet.
27:44
Pete: It's actually really hard to believe
that this was made on a boat.
Nick: I agree.
27:47
Nick:
With the amount of technique that it's taken
to do some of the stuff in these dishes...
27:50
Pete:
I'm surprised no-one's done a corn soup dance.
27:53
Nick:
Oh! Course #4 is a white grouper
with a cauliflower truffle salad
27:56
and a parmesan lemon sauce.
28:00
Will:
My first bite of edible gold ever.
28:02
Cam:
I love the crunchiness of the cauliflower
with the fish.
28:04
Nick:
Tons of truffle in here. It's crazy.
28:07
Will:
And the sea bass is cooked really, really well.
28:09
Better, I might say,
than how you did it on MasterChef.
28:11
Pete:
Oh! If you didn't understand Will's joke...
28:13
Nick lost MasterChef with some
undercooked sea bass.
28:15
Nick:
Will is right. The fish is cooked perfectly.
28:18
I've always wanted to know what a kitchen
looks like on a yacht like this.
28:20
Nick: So...watch out, Cam!
Pete: Watch out, Cam!
28:23
Nick: Sorry for that!
Cam: Thanks for the heads up!
28:24
Nick: Hey, chef!
Chef: Hello, Nick!
Nick: May I join you for a minute?
28:26
Nick:
This is awesome.
28:28
Chef:
Here is where the magic happens.
28:29
Nick:
It's bigger than I thought it would be.
28:31
Any restaurant...you gotta share
the kitchen with a lot of people.
28:32
Chef:
It's a lot different than a restaurant,
because you're working alone everytime.
28:35
Nick:
So if it's good, it's you...
28:38
If it's bad, it's you.
28:40
Nick:
Look at these beautiful filets!
28:41
Chef:
This is white grouper. Last night's catch.
28:43
Nick:
And then look at these lobster tails!
28:45
This is just perfect, beautiful lobster.
28:47
You have a deep fryer here.
28:48
Is that not dangerous, when the boat
is going like this?
28:50
Chef:
You need to be careful every time you use it.
28:52
Here we also have a vacuum sealer.
28:55
Nick: Wow! It's a vacuum sealer in the drawer?
Chef: Yeah, yeah.
28:57
Chef:
This is a blast chiller.
28:59
It's also the same time a dryer.
29:00
Nick:
This right here can instantly make things cold.
29:02
It's like the opposite of a very hot oven.
29:04
Nick: Thank you, chef!
Chef: Thank you, Nick!
29:06
Nick:
Course #5...a pavlova with crème anglaise
and berries.
29:07
Cam:
It looks like soft serve ice cream,
but it's crunchy.
29:11
Will:
Pavlova is my favorite.
29:13
Nick: Do you know where it was invented?
Will: Russia?
Nick: No.
29:14
They argue about who invented it,
but it was either Australia or New Zealand.
29:16
I think it was New Zealand.
Listen for that crack!
29:20
Pavlova is only made with really
2 ingredients: egg whites and sugar.
29:24
And you blend it up to the perfect meringue,
and you shape it, and you bake it
29:27
very low and slow, until it firms up.
29:30
This is a top notch pavlova.
29:32
Pete:
It goes from crispy to creamy and then chewy.
29:34
Nick:
That's the mark of a good pavlova...
is that light crispy shell on the outside
29:36
and that marshmallowy interior.
29:40
Will:
I have to say...as someone
who's eating lots of pavlovas,
29:41
this is the best one I've ever had.
29:44
Pete:
"This Is It". Get it?
29:45
Nick: Okay. Ready?
Pete: No! Let me down! Let me down!
29:47
Will:
I feel better.
29:53
