- For this delicious Tanzanian food, here's the restaurant you need to go to: migrationology...
Dar Es Salaam is the largest city in Tanzania, and it's a city that attracts people from around the country. For this reason there's a great variety and mixture of Tanzanian food and restaurants that serve some of the best African food you'll find anywhere in Tanzania. One of the typical home-style restaurants in Dar Es Salaam, actually has no real name, but it's referred to as the Scouts Canteen, probably because it's located on the Boy Scouts of Tanzania campus.
It's kind of a bar, but during lunchtime, Mama Theopiste, as she's known, shows up with pots full of local food that's sure to satisfy. People begin to break for lunch, filling up on huge plates of Tanzanian food. Today I decided to order a fish known as mchuzi wa samaki, which basically translates to a fish curried in coconut milk. Even though we were by the sea, the fish is actually from the province of Mwanza, Tanzania, next to Lake Victoria. The fish, known as a sato fish, is similar to a tilapia. The fish was made into a thick and creamy coconut gravy spiced with spices and tomatoes and onions. I ordered my mchuzi wa samaki along with the staple of East Africa known as ugali. Ugali can be made from a number of different flours, in this case from corn flour, that's cooked with water until it becomes a blob of cornmeal mush. Ugali is the starch and filler of the meal and it's served throughout Tanzania.
I do like ugali, definitely not more than rice, but it does go well with sauce, especially that creamy coconut curry sauce and the fish. The Tanzanian food at Scouts Canteen was pretty delicious, and after chowing down on my lunch, I could barely resist taking a long nap, my stomach full to the brim. In Tanzania, definitely sample mchuzi wa samaki, African fish coconut curry, and you can either eat it with ugali or with rice.
Price - 5,000 TZS ($3) full plate
The Tanzanian food served at Scouts Canteen is a great place for a seriously filling lunch in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, and the food is always prepared fresh by Mama Theopiste - she's friendly and cooks well.

I Mark, I have a totally unrelated question:
Ho do you deal with Malaria? I have a trip in Laos next week, and my doctor said i have to take some precautions.
Any help from you?
Antonio Correnti Hey Antonio, actually in Asia, I don't do much precaution. But in East Africa I normally take either doxycycline, or mefloquine, but not sure what the standard is for SE Asia.
***** Haha, yes he was quite a character!
A food tour in Iran would be very nice
I remember Ugali. I had a friend from there.
Kitoka Tanzania. Nzuri!
Aquarian Christianity Karibu Kenya.
Kuna ugali na Nyama choma
Jesus Is Lord Tanzania is the best for cooking ugali kenya ni fake
YEES ndugu Ramadan, and there are different kinds of ugali in Tanzania.
Almost every tribe has their own version of ugali.
🇹🇿
Kweli bwana nice Swahili
Used to work in Arusha Tanzania...I miss this country
daddyteddy85 you are welcome again here
Tanzania, Kenya, and other afrucan countries live Indian food and other cuisines too and they seem to like to mix them? Or am I incorrect and exaggerating?
Tanzania yasss 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 finally someone who knows chips mayai and ugali ps the fish is from lake Victoria
have fun exploring!
I am half norwegian and half Tanzanian. And my mom makes this once a month, but she uses chapati instead of ugali. Its delicious!! Im so grateful that my tongue likes food from two different cultures, lol my friends cant eat nothing without complaining
Jesus Christ nice one
and that our Tanzanian food..it keep us strong
Really?
@@dinafawzy1311 mmh its right
i love how you eat everything on the plate ....most people especially tourists dont usually finish their food, but you Mr. Wiens, you know how to handle a plate haha
There are some who finish the head too. I have evem seen people eating the bones. Africans that is 😂😂
In poverty affected areas its a curse to pour food

Siddiq He has said he grew up in Kenya.
A lot of cultures of the world actually eat with their hands.
Ugali, our favorite food in Tanzania. The veges are called Matembele

The Irish man in the back stole the show...lol
Ha, yes he did!
b
How is he Irish? He’s obviously from drunkland lol
+PuppiesAreBae21 drunk land? and now ur insult my country over one dunked in the back..
That man over your shoulder had a lot to say! Maybe he fancies himself as a food blogger?! Watch out mark!
Hahah!
Mmmh he just looking
Why do I always watch your videos late at night. I love the guy behind you!
same!?!?!?!?
Same
Am watching at 1:22 a.m
Tanzania is a very pretty place. Boil clean utensils, go Africa! I love the washing of hands I see at tables of African and Asian cultures. Food yummy too.
I like his appreciation.. that's amazing food of ours, Tanzanians
Yes he was. The sauce was excellent!
Fish is always my favourite, this looks great.
Hey Jenn, rice would be really good with that fish!
Mark you stuff is so good. I just love your approach to this channel and how genuine you are with your love of food. You are single-handedly responsible for my want to travel back to Asia in the next few months, and the rest of the world for the sake of food! Keep it up forever! :D
my seconds favourite part of the videos apart from the exotic foods are the video bombers that just stare and smile at the camera like it is a foreign object from the future hahas :) love it. so many different cultures, how do you keep up with it all?
It looks delicious
That means a lot to me, thank you so much. Hope you can come back to visit Asia soon. Are you originally from Asia?
We have the best food in TANZANIA....Welcome again
I like soooo much ugali I can cook here in my home at Muscat. I hope you enjoyed eat ugali as well
Asiya K wow!!nice one
I always love watching you eat food. You are the reason I got so interested in Indian food. And when I finally got to try some I fell in love.
I love how there was not too much to say about ugali. You are not really supposed to say much or taste much about it. You are just supposed to let it hit you right. That stuff will put you to sleep at 2pm.
😋 I'm Tanzanian najua icho chakula kitamu sana
😁😁😁

Eyyy!!! Ugali with Sato!!! Trust, if you haven't had this in a while you'll crave it. Personally I prefer a pork mchuzi to go along with the ugali, but never slack on the greens, their the palate cleanser
