- Today, we're on a cultural food tour through the Lower East Side of NY where we examine the history of Russian cuisine... perhaps there's more asian influence than we thought?

Yo as a Russian in the US it's hella rare to see people taking interest in Russian food here. The guys really showed a solid range of dishes from the cuisine in this episode, and it makes me very happy to see people showing love to our pretty underrated cuisine. Much respect.
I just had blenchiki with meat and a side of sour cream-
David really does his homework and offers a clear historic view of the foods that he’s trying. 👍🏼
Facts! And I definitely appreciate it.
Yeah, it's so much more than watching people stuffing their faces on youtube giving no additional info. :)
Daniel Feng’s brother’s face doesn’t look so round anymore. Weight loss?
Gosh. Finally an American dudes who can into geography and history. Much respect and hope you both enjoying russian cuisine! =)
Yes. In america we have no history or geography. We still use the sun and the moon to navigate and rocks in a pile to count the days. Sometimes we pee on a rock to mark a special day. That's the sum of our interest in history....
@@garythesquidsquid7779 Yeah. While the rest of the World is using meters and litres - US still running the rounds with outdated inches and gallons ;-)
@@olekscap4620 we actually use both here... But okay.
Where are you from again?
Yes, I've tried and cooked Russian cuisines. I married to a Belarusian and I'm Korean-American!! 17 years and counting. Funny part is that I drink more than my Russian hubby!!!! Hahaha!
Whitewashed Asian Female
its tradition in Asia to drink yes?
I dont know why people believe that Russian drink more that others Russia is not even in the first place at drinking
@Christina Reynolds i know but not as much as Koreans or British
I’m pretty sure that South Korea has the largest amount of alcoholics in the world.Apparently the late night drinking culture is very hard for most westerners to keep up with .
That last lady did not chill with the drinks lmao she was tryna see some of that asian blush
Yo that's just hospitality. Love seeing it
@J S no she doesnt.
@J S tell me in what terms she look like mongoloid race? I dont see anythint specific to mongolic race in her.
Maybe she is from Asian part of Russia
I love how the Russian lady kept feeding you guys drinks. That’s hospitality right there.
Yea out of their wallets probably haha
@@privateprivate31337 lmao
private private most likely. I would’ve paid for that experience though 👍🏼
@@privateprivate31337 Sometimes it could come with the meal but in this case, its free in my opinon. They are youtubers, and at the very least they are making a food review with good camera equipment. I'm sure she won't charge them for the shots because they are giving her free publicity (128 views an d counting) and she wants to show that shes a good hostess.
Anyway Cafe might have the best hospitality I''ve experienced in East Village. The Sour Cherry vodka is by far the best!
Asian and Middle Eastern influences in the food makes sense, but the French influence was a surprise. And seeing you guys get turnt af while turning red as a tomato made my day.
Luv u guys!!
Not only France. For example we have own view on macarones/pasta.(macarones po-flotsky with meat) the concept of dish is close to italian food,but its not italy. Same with dumplings and pelmeni - its not purely from Asia,it was adopted by Russian way. Also Rusisa have some "unique dishes" like "herris under the coat" or "Holodec".
Also one of the main traditional dishes - pickled fruits and vegetables. Since a lot of region in Russia are cold - Russian start to pickled everything (tomatos,cucumbers, mushrooms, watermelon etc). Every familiy have own recipe. Someone doing sweet pickled cucumbers ,anoter add red pepper and its hot.
It probably depends on what region of Russia. Food from Moscow will be probably be more European, whereas Vladivostok food might be more east Asian.
People from Vladivostok eat the same basic dishes as people from Moscow. The basis for all slavic(a.k.a. russkiy) regions of Russia the same, but Russo-Korean cuisine and Chinese cuisine really popular in Vladivostok, unlike Moscow. But there are whole regions of Russia populated by people with different ethnicity (a.k.a. national republics), they have different cuisine, but they also enjoy Russian (Ukrainian, Uzbeki and etc.) cuisines.
@Demure more native asian people like koreans, buryats, chinese, yakuts and others.
Hey! I live in Vladivostok. I wouldn't say that local food more Asian, sure there are many asian restaurants, but we really love to eat and cook traditional Russian cuisine)
Actually, Moscow has the greatest variety of food as it literally collected everything in and around Russia. There is more chances to find an Asian food in Moscow than in Vladivostok.
Not really. Anywhere in Russia is Asian food, because it’s a part of our food
That lady was really trying to get them drunk 🤣 kept coming at them with the vodka lmao now that's Russian hospitality!
In Russian culture it is considered rude to refuse a drink
yesss as one does. I'd totally take it lol
They had to pay.
Daniel Feng’s brother‘s face doesn’t look so round anymore. Weight loss?
I rmb watching the Russian comedy TV drama ‘Kak ya stal russkim’, there was a saying like :”Refuse a drink in Russia is worst than showing your middle finger.”
Probably one of the best episodes so far.. yall are going out of your comfort zone w asian food and going into uncharted territories.. kudos!
Haven’t tried Russian food before but it looks delicious! I want to try 😍
try pelmeni with sour cream
WE want to try!
your video quality HAS GROWN SO MUCH. Those info cards are super educational, love the cultural awareness through food food.
Ukranian food is some awesome food that deserves more recognition!
Rockstar Eater russki, ukrainian all da same
I would love to go to Ukraine! My friend went a long time ago and it looked beautiful. I'm sure the food is amazing
@@spartanwarrior1 You and informed people are obviously not the same.
Ukrainians are not Russians, Ukraine descends from Kyivan Rus, its language is the closest to Old East Slavic and melodic, its first state was the Hetmanate and re-declared independence form the Russian Empire in 1918. Russia comes from the Principality of Vladimir-Suzdal, Muscovy and the Tsardom of Russia, its language is a mixture of Mongolian, Tatar and Church Slavonic, they have different folk traditions no matter how much Russian ensembles use Ukrainian motifs and they have different people that they celebrate. They are different!!!
@@georgeblahvin5833 lol, as if you are educated. Russian is the closest to the Old East Slavic, especially Northern dialects, while Ukrainian is a mixture of Russian and Polish minus Church Slavonic with more Turkish and Crimean Tatar influence a top of the Volga Tatar influence on both of the languages. There is zero words of Mongolian in eith of the language, Mongols never settled in the Eastern Europe and had little to none interaction with the Slavs, all the interaction happened via Tatar. middleman.
Russian food really looks delicious, how is it so underrated! Need to try asap ~
Eastern European descent here. This video is super accurate and I appreciate that it focused on the european side to talk about how that was influenced because food from Uzbekistan or Azerbaijan will be much more asian influenced. Russian food is difficult to find in restaurants because most of us will just make it at home so it is nice to see a fresh perspective!
I haven't tried Russian or other East European food, but those dishes in the video look delicious, thank you guys!
That lady got yal tipsy. Lol. She's mvp.
I’ve been to Russia and their food are delicious 🤤
I miss Poland food as well! Brings me back memories.
@@ellywong4545 I am very glad you enjoyed your food experience in Russia 👍.
Exactly what I never thought I needed.
Thanks guys.
This definitely a great video for you guys and us to experience. Stepping out of the comfort zone trying out new cuisines. Never noticed so many different variations of Russian food from different regions. За здоровье!
Slavic gang are you here :P
this was awesome, such an in depth look at a culture ive never even cone across! thanks fung bros, always so fun learning from you guys.
This was so informative. The different vodkas, the history. Awesome. Keep it coming and I wish you all the best in NY.
love the storytelling you guys have in this video
FungBros
Thank you for the videos. You guys have great youtube videos. We been switching your old videos from 2014 and the new ones. They are awesome. My kids love your show. Keep it up and be safe in this dangerous times of the pandemic.
Loving the historical food aspects of this. Really cool.
i feel like sometime russia gets a bad rap from western media. i would love to go to russia especially to try the foods
Isn't it "bad rep"?
The Cold War never ended as they say.
Don't try it in the Moscow airport. Me and my friends on separate occasions have had bad experiences. 😫
Russian food is delicious
Welcome to Russia, I hope u'll come here and try our food :)
This is the best video on russian cuisine from foreigners i have ever seen, so much detail, history, neighbours. Love it.
Really enjoyed this! Love pierogies and pelminis...and vodka ofc😍
nice video guys! was a lot of fun to watch !
You guys always bring it.... great job!
Great video! I love you guys exploring others country’s and cultures food. I love to see you guy try polish food at some point.
Love how you guys traveled to NY to give us viewers a glimpse into Eastern European cuisine. Keep it up!!!
Love episode like this! Definitely add all those delicious food to my “to eating list”😂
Finally 😍😍😍😍👌
But where are the Plov? Manti? Tschebureki? I know it is not called " Russian food" because it is from central Asia like Kasachstan etc....but growing up in Russia we cooked them to
Wdym isn’t russian, it is!!
I must say!!! The dialogue between you two for this segment flowed out mad professional. It might have been the licks!
That was Dobe. I like how you guys commented about how the food comes from different countries. This is another level of your channel. 10 out of 10 this time 🔥.
Great video! I learned so much :-) I never would have thought of a Russia/China food connection before! Well done.
Love your show guys. Very informative. I'll be watching.
Cool video Fung Bros. Took it back to NYC!!! 😍🖤🤘👊
Glad to finally see the Fung Bros not shying away from drinking on camera LOL
i've always been curious of eastern euro especially russian dishes since it seems so underrated...this was nice exploring a new cuisine!
What an interesting video idea. I never thought to ask this question!
Man this video was so cool!
Love this series.
Hey FungBros, very, very nice vid. Informative and tasty!
Love this episode 💚💚💚
Wow, been low key sleeping on Russian food... that looks DELICIOUS
Fung Bros getting lit!
Loved watching you guys working to keep it together while getting plied with the vodka ;-)
Favorite video so far
Never tried it . would love too. so hungry now and thirsty. great video guys and stay safe!
Good stuff fungbros
This is my first time coming across these guys and they are GREAT! Thanks for mentioning the Asian flush- y'all feel me! Thanks for having such an awesome channel
That lady’s hospitality makes me want to come there in itself!!
Excellent you three came to NY 💋. Thank you for history class through food.
The food looks amazing! I need to try them to decide 👍
Love the videos 🔥🔥🔥
these videos makes me miss going to restaurants
Russian cuisine is super interesting also the countries from the former Soviet block. Truly something to look into and eat 😅
A great topic; i’ve always been intrigued and fascinated by Russian food and culture. It’ll be great if you guys could include captions 😀 also the pop up text disappears really quickly haha! But i still always enjoy the videos, i get super excited when I see a new one. Nice job
@@MrDMC11889 This is not true. In Russia we have historcaly good atitude towards black people.
@@MrDMC11889 i see black people every day in Saint-Petersburg, nobody cares.
@@MrDMC11889 you could have get in trouble with neo-nazis somewhat like 15 years ago, but this gangs were successfully crushed by 2010, alongside with monarchists, anti-immigrats and many other extreme right folks. Moreover this encounters were also blown up out of proportion as you have more white supremacists in US than Russia ever had in the whole history and neo-nazis appearing in the late 90es was something new and complitely annoying to Russia given Russian history with nazis. Nowadays nobody cares you are black, except for the fact you would look like a martian, as Martians are probably more often guests in Russia than blacks.
I am russo korean) i love pelmeni with soy sauce and chili oil 😊
my grandma is russian she does that too :D
Food looked amazing!
Your videos are sooo amazing! Shout out for the diversity :)
This was way more entertaining than food network 😂 I grew up watching travel/ food shows with my grandma, I think I might force her to watch yall 😉
I’m from Georgia and I’m so happy that you included the Georgian cuisine
I am Slavic from central/Eastern Europe and I can assure even in our food I can see Asian influence ... overall Slavic food is similar in all Slavic nations...but it is influenced a lot by where the nation is situated
Great job!
This video was well done. I remember Fung Bros videos from years ago that had too many interruptions that included distorted voices and video clips that were meant for humor. Many commenters advised the Fung Bros to omit those because those took away from the videos. I agreed with the commenters, and I’m glad the Fung Bros listened. I like that this video didn’t rely on random, weird video clips and strange, distorted voices to entertain the viewers. The video was entertaining because it was to-the-point. I enjoyed learning about the food, culture, and history of Russia and Ukraine.
Really going to take things to the next level now that you guys are in NYC
This one was an absolute treat! I've been curious about Russian food and also Ukrainian, and I'm happy to have experienced a video like this from the Fung Bros. :D
this is so fascinating!!! 👀 I've never tried Russian food because of the stereotypes, must give it a try and hopefully will be in NYC when we can travel easily again.
What stereotypes?
This was such a good episode. Those latkes. Happy Hunnukah.
Happy Drunk Tipsy! Love you Bro's
Me being Russian, this is so happy to see that people can learn that we don’t even like vodka, that was the soviets when we couldn’t afford other alcohols, and I do love Khachapuri!
El Negrito con Tumbao y Azucar it is basically not true.
@@MrDMC11889 nobody cares you are black until you start acting annoying.
I was waiting to see a honeycomb cake but sweet tooth episode is for some other time 👀👀
ya'll went hard on the Vodak...much respect...Za Zdarovya!
All the Pelmeni! All the Khachapuri!! But seriously, looking forward to the next NYC Food Spot, you guys will be checking out!
One of your better vids, brahs
Veselka is the BEST!! One of my favorite places in the city🤗
It was a tasty learning experience..
This channel is dope... Found out about you guys through Nelly Chan years ago and just subscribed...
The last spot trying to get y’all fu*ked up 😁🤣🤣🤣
Hey guys! Have you thought about hitting up Lagman House in NYC? It might be the only Dungan (Chinese descendants in former Soviet areas) restaurant in the US. The food is incredible!
I miss russian food!
Hahahaha!!! David look so faded at the end of the video. But you can tell he's about that drinking life.
Удивительное видео!
Also why tf did david get so eloquent at the end hahaha i love it
That’s very interesting , I never tried Russian food before!
Yessir!
Keep safe guys keep it up
That's cool video!! Love Russian food
Would love to see videos on the mixture in Cultures between Europeans and Asians
I subscribed you guys for saying good words about Ukraine!
Guys , you should be make a video about Russo Korean food ! I am interested about the flavor and the look so much ! :D
That would be difficult, almost like finding a unicorn, as Russu-Korean food isn't well known in Russia either - something like 2-3 dishes known for the whole country while the rest is hidden within rare Korean communities. Moreover, there is 2 different Korean cultures in Russia: Central Asian and Sakhalin - they have different origin and history, and those developed different cuisines.
Love this video! I'm half-Russian, half-Georgian, all Canadian!
Come to Iowa, hit the Amana Colonies and Czech Village in Cedar Rapids.
The dude from Tsarevna was super chill and knowledgeable. Cool seeing younger restaurant owners that aren’t pretentious. Will have to hit up that spot next time I’m in NY
Great video, as always!

🥰😍✌
It's rare to see anyone recognise the sheer diversity of foods and regions that fall under the umbrella term of "Russian Cuisine", you have my props on how well researched this video is.
it would be great if you finally try and talk about Central Asian countries and their cuisine: Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek etc
