Eating Like The Locals In The Streets of Yaounde Cameroon

- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- There is no better way to explore a new city in a new country than through food and this is why we are taking you around the streets of Yaoundé, Cameroon to eat everything we can find and stop at some of the most popular attractions in town.
The street food is truly ingrained in the Cameroonians culture. From grilled fish, to akra beans and of course soya of 50/50 you can find a very wide variety of food from vendors all around the city.
Our personal highlight was our visit at the Briqueterie of Yaoundé. This is a true street meat paradise. The ambiance, and the delicious skewers for only 50 franc each really made our day from the start.
Other than the food, it was fascinating to drive around Yaoundé and explore the city and there is no better way to see the big picture than from the top of Mont-Fébé. Also make sure to stop at the Reunification Monument to appreciate it's unique architecture.
To end the day, we suggest a stop at the Panoramique Lounge locate on the 11th floor of the Hilton Hotel Yaounde (The best hotel in Yaounde). Not for the food but really for the bats. Seeing thousand of massive bats flying around the building at sunset is truly an experience of it's own.

Thanks for visiting our beautiful capital city. I liked your french accent. For the peanut paste, it is a traditional meal : blended peanut butter mixed with spices and salt. It was offensive to say that it looks like someone eat it halfway and... that was really disgusting 😢 We cook several traditional meals sealed in those natural leaves and they are 100%bio!😅
You haven't tasted Ndolé, Water fufu and eru, Atchu, okok and many more traditionnal foods.
Où sont mes frères et sœurs du continent camerounais 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Welcome to Cameroon btw
Merci beaucoup mon ami!
Le continent🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
on est la
Nous continentalement là sommes là ❤🇨🇲
Le continent🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
When it comes to Cameroon 🇨🇲 you can never go wrong with food. I believe we are the greatest when it comes to food in Africa. If you want puff puff you go hunting in the morning and evening
Agree! We had a lot of good stuff there.
No lies detected❤️❤️ I love my country to death❤️❤️❤️
Cameroon seems to be a foodie paradise. I am feeling hungry just watching you enjoy this street food ❤
Yeah they really have a nice street food scene.
Cameroons is really a foodie paradise.
I am a Cameroonian and I can confirm this 100%; you can come around some time too: you definitely wouldn't regret it 😉
Alex's English accent sounds like he's from the French-speaking part of Cameroon, but otherwise, his English is really impressive 👏
In Cameroon you can have a different dish on every single day during a whole year 😊
It helps that Dave is bilingual and a native French-speaker who can manourve the language barrier so easily with Cameroonians. Going to a foreign place where communication is seamless makes the adventure unforgettable! 👍
I 100% agree! It really helped. 👍🏼🇨🇲
I am from Yaoundé and i can confirmé that we are enjoying our food there;)
So delicious! :)
@@DaveMani I am also from yaounde and I am happy that you enjoy our food
I’m literally Living in Cameroun (Yaounde) And I’m glad that people Still enjoy the city as tourists 😋
Yeah, it was great! :)
If people were open minded to other countries' culture and way of their lives instead of calling them poor, I believe the stereotypes would be kinda less.I agree there's poverty and there's also traditions and foreigners can't demistify none of it.Dave n mani are doing a good job
Thank you Sir !!
Infact, so many people.... especially here in North America and parts of Europe, had just started to realize their ignorance and biases after RUclips and Google opening their eyes especially about the African continent!
And especial thanks to D and T Mani's for your great work.
Even here in Canada or the USA, there's always poverty everywhere on earth.
I think traveling is the best way to open to other cultures and way of life. ❤️
We Cameroonians are not poor bro ❤
Yall did a good job showing what Cameroon has to offer
Hey thank you so much for that! :D
I'm from Ndu-Kumbo and it was pleasant to hear the woman at 7:44 speaking Lamnso, my mother's language . Much love from Cape Town ,SA
That's great :)
In Yaoundé puff puff can usually be found everywhere. But they are only available in the morning and evening, not at lunchtime. The people there eat them every day for breakfast (at home and at the stall) and for dinner (especially at the cook's stall like one where you wanted to drink palm wine and in the restaurant like one where you ate grilled fish).
By the way, thank a lot you for sharing this great video.
We were just too late that day BUT we did find some in Kribi and it quickly became our favorite! So so good. 👍🏼
Cameroon looks really green and beautiful and its interesting to hear Dave speak French with the locals hi Tracy!
Yeah Cameroon was super lush indeed!
That little dish packed in banana leaves is roasted ground peanut pie called " Mbouo Pirien" it is a dish from the West part of Cameroon particularly the Bamoun tribe. The reason it seemed like someone already ate it and put it back is because it becomes a little sticky from sitting in room temperature aka heat. So the peanuts kind of melt a little added to the fact that the leaves are tightly sealed is just creat that stickiness on the surface. But rest assured no one ate and put it back in the leave 😂😂😂
Aaaah thanks a lot for the info! :)
I love how chill and friendly the people are ❤❤
1:21 Dave cooling the skewer as Alex munches his 😂😂
Haha mine was straight from the grill! :p
Drinking a beer while waiting for your fish….i miss it a lot
Cheers to that!! 🍻
I loved it. I loved the way you moved around Yaounde without be scared. I loved the way you tasted food and drinks in this part of Cameroon. I enjoyed the video. You are typical Americans moving without any fear.
I am all about new experiences! :)
I feel happy and a bit sad at the same time because honestly there are so many local places where you could have tried very nice food (beignets haricots, soya, grilled fish, poulet DG, "les petits poissons", sauce gombo and couscous à Tsinga, met de pistache...). Well Alex seems to be a very great and honest guy, you were lucky to have him with you but I don't think he showed you the best places for some of the food you tried. But I'm happy you enjoyed my home country 🥰
Just doing our best with what we have! :)
Thanks for this amazing video, I've been looking for so long to find a nice video on my country since I live in the USA and my husband is American, he wants to discover before we visit, but believe me we've never found any.God bless you it's so fun to watch this, I feel like I was home at mvog Atangana mballa yaounde❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow I am so glad! We had so much fun filming this video series! I hope you watch the ones from the Western Part of the country as well. And I also hope you can bring your husband to Cameroon one day! :)
Can he watch French videos? If not, Ruthsface has a video that seems long enough.
The start of the Cameroon series. We are here for it!
4 more videos coming your way! :) 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Beautiful!!! Seems like a really nice country, I have to add it to my list!
Great video, looking forward to much more! Specially Africa! Cheers 🍺🍺
We for sure had a lot of fun in Cameroon! :)
Hey @DaveMani, so happy you have been to my country twice. As a suggestion, try Achu, Ekwang, Congo meat and Eru. You also need an authentic fish experience in Limbe. Great videos and awesome content.
Thanks for the tips!
Hello!
Enjoying this video. May I add that while German settlers did arrive in 1888, it was not the beginning of this land then. There was always a rich cultural history in Yaounde, Cameroon and other colonised places in the world long before the 19th Century.
Thank you for the extra information. ❤️👍🏼
Thank you for the extra information. ❤️👍🏼
Wow.
You both are amazing, great energy levels. I didn't expect you to go to Cameroon 🇨🇲. Lovely street food and lovely settings throughout.
Thanks for another exciting video.❤
Thanks a lot! It was such a fun trip!
I really hope Cameroon 🇨🇲🇨🇲 will soon develop more as a country in the next following years.
All the best to Cameroon :)
Unfortunately when all the 90 years old ruling the country since independence are unalived.
Thx
Hello. What you ate in the green leaf is groundnut paste or peanut paste seasoned and wrap in leaf then boiled. Pistache is a different thing though similar but pistache is egusi pudding made with egusi
Also the peanut (groundnut) is white because that’s fresh and boiled peanut. Nice video by the way
Nice, I kind of liked it. 👍🏼
In the Building watching from Baltimore MD 😎
Cheers mate! :)
I love your vibes. Tracy seems to enjoy herself. I can't wait to see the rest of your Cameroon series
Thank you so so much! :)
Thanks bro for this magnificent piece 🤗🥰
My pleasure 😊
I love how chill and friendly the people are 😊
Same! They were awesome :D
That thing you ate which taste like peanut butter it’s actually made of peanut ,oil,sugar and salt it’s called “Nnam Owondo” Owondo = arachide 🥜 or peanut
Aaaah, I kind of liked it.
Honestly I love this video because you love my country
That's great! :D
Wow I love your videos Dave Mani they are interesting when it comes to food you guys are champions!
Glad you like them! 🙃❤️👍🏼
Great video on Cameroon glad you like street food. It's funny because last Sunday, I was talking about Soya to those around me, one of the people started salivating 😂, and wanted me to bring it back to him, the next time I go there, really crazy. Braised fish, Soya, fritters with beans (called jazz by subscribers 😜), are the must-have street food in Cameroon
Thank you for your sharing and visit.🙏
Soya became some of my favorite street food in the whole world to be honest! So so delicious! :)
i love your cameroon videos!! I want to go so bad now
We had so much fun there! :D
@@DaveMani Would you make a guided tour? With recorded tapes for non French speaking tourists? And recommended stops?
If so, I have Bnb to recommend
Cameroon is a Bilingual country, there's no shortage of English nd French in every corners across Cameroon
Stumbled on your videos man!!! I was born in this city! The guide did fairly good😂
Y'all are so good raw impressions. Love it!😂😂 Looking forward to see more
Awesome! Thank you!
Woooow Cameroon looks good hopefully they will be more developed soon. The street food looks amazing. You guys just gave Alex a good job idea hopefully he gets customers 💕
Those little soya things were the BEST! :p
Oh my gosh! Watching this video just made me realize how I miss my home town😅 and have proud I am of our food and culture ❤
We had such a good time in Yaoundé! :)
Nice to see you came back 🎉❤
Thanks a lot!
La briquetterie....a very nice choice 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Nice to see you enjoying my Country Dave..next time come to Douala, the food is better here than in Yaoundé...so should taste the roasted fish in youpwe 🤭🤭🤭
Whenever we come back to Cameroon, we will for sure go to Douala!
Happy wednesday! can’t wait for all the content you have from Cameroon
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks for admiring my country like it
Our pleasure! :)
I've been waiting for this documentary vlog.Congratulations.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Did, Videos are very therapeutic
Hi Dave. Thanks to your video and information, I was able to contact Alex and he gave me a tour last week. Great to have met Alex and learn about Yaounde! Was hoping I could post a picture but YT apparently does not allow. All the best.
That is super cool to hear! I'm glad and feel free to send the photo via instagram! :)
Love the video❤ , the best is the driver drinking palm wine , 33 export and driving normal. I miss that country ❤
Haha he didn't drink much I swear :p
It is so sad that the Anglophone area is unsafe, i think zou would have loved exploring Bamenda and Buea
Maybe next trip :)
I'm a Cameroonian and I live in Yaoundé. I love that you make a video on my town. Thanks
(Je suis un cameroonais et je vis à Yaoundé. Merci pour cette vidéo).
Continue.
We had such a good time in Cameroon! :D
I’m Cameroonian and I really enjoyed watching your videos I hope you like our country and our foods… I know you had some stomachache after all of that
No stomach problem at all no. We eat street food all around the world so we're good. 👍🏼
@@DaveMani a real foodie Vet 🫡 thanks again for your videos
Ohh i hope you guys enjoyed your visit to Cameroon ❤, you guys were around my town and quarter of residence 🥰i love Dave´s curioisity with food tasting😂
We had the best time there!!
As a Cameroonian I like your video. It wasn't bias. When some white folks come here they film only the worse areas.
We always go for the good stuff! ❤️
Dave you have really high quality videos, you should do a behind the scenes one soon so we see what it's like making them
As much as I would like, I am not sure if people would care. Maybe tho!
I really like you guys. Take good care of yourselves.
Thanks a lot :)
that street food looked amazing 💯
It really was! :)
Hello Dave Mani I am a big fan of your videos especially the video when you came to cameroon.
Hey, thanks! 😬👍🏼

The things you eat Dave 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 nothing but respect. That could never be me. That green thing you have eaten ,It has reminded me of the blood at the Maasai homestead. All picky eaters one side. Such a great vlog. I am loving this Cameroon series. My best.
Hahaha! Fair enough, that little brown paste in the leaf was for sure... different! But I'm always willing to try! :)
@@DaveMani happy to See this video of my country.

Dave I like the way you eat our food with so much appetite 😅😅. My brother's wife is a Belgian and you remind a lot of her time spent here in Cameroon. She would eat from A to Z😂😂

I got a cousin who came from the US one time with his dad who's my uncle and I took him to a spot where I usually buy soya so ever since he tasted soya, he's been on my neck to him to that spot where they sell soya.
Soya is the BEST!
Thank you for visiting our country :)

D'abord le cameroun🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲c qui sont avec moi l'île mon commentaire
Super! :P
guys are you going to cote-ivoire next ?? its a very touristic country, its in africa too and they speak french. but in cote ivoire you can find many guide cause its a very touristic country. love your videos especially the africans country one!!!
We would LOVE to!!!
I enjoyed this Video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I give you PROPS for two reason
1) as a westerner you are curious
2)you like to discover other cultures ( tasting food ,drinks)
this kind of openess is rare among westerners........You are 1 out of 10 million westerners
You dont travel to a country to despise or criticize but to enjoy life like locals
This kind of behavior is rare among westerners
Well I really appreciate that. I live for those experiences. ❤️
Cameroon has very beautiful delicacies even our street food tastes good; Reason why some Cameroonians are reluctant to relocate abroad.
The food was indeed super good. 🙃
Welcome to Cameroon!
thx
As a guy living in Canada right now we definitely gotta develop the tourism in the country thank you for your videos tho form Calgary 🇨🇦🇨🇲
You are 100% right!
@@DaveMani love the videos tho just discovered the channel and I’m about to binge watch the videos
Pistache (aka. mystery food), btw, is pumpkin seed paste mixed with spices and raw palm oil and then steamed in banana leaves.
Oh well, I liked it! Haha
He didn't show you where they sell bush meat. You would have had a wonderful experience there. As well as traditional food we eat on daily basis. Nice video guys. Next time go deaper and you will be amazed 👌🏾👌🏾😊
Ooooh next time for sure. (Is this legal tho?) loll
I’m from Cameroun but I I live in suisse and I have family in kumba
Oh that's awesome :)
I think Africa is growing fast than expected
For sure!!
I'm Cameroonian and I hope you had a great stay ❤❤
Yes we did!! ❤️
