Literally brought to tears by that! You can tell they got extra because Sunny was there. The noise of joy she makes shook me to the core 😢 bless these women
The way she cheered over the chicken really made us appreciate the simple things in life. It was a great reminder to find joy in the little things and to be grateful for the everyday blessings. 🎄
I am from Papua New Guinea and yes this is 100% how highlanders prepare their traditional pig feast (mumu) to celebrate special occasion. I also love the fact that he captured some cultural practice and values shared in the highlands that is rapidly dying away today. And finally, with a lot of tribal fighting going on in this area, the video can remind us the highlanders of the the joy and merriment of preparing and sharing a 'mumu' as a family and community so that we can make the decision to stop the fighting and killings in the Highlands. Much appreciated!!
My goodness.. this episode is climbing into your Top 10 list of best ever episodes for sure. That interaction with the Men and Women from the Huli tribe is priceless. The laughter from the women when you tried to smoke was kinda liberating to know that we are all the same wherever we may be from and laughter connects us all. Also pleasantly surprising is how well English is used there too.
I agree, this is the best food review and depiction of that part of my beautiful country. And English is the mode of communication in schools and the government so generally everyone can speak and understand English 😊
As a huli woman, i am proud that Sonny you covered our people. We were only discovered in the 1950s. No one knew the Hela civilization existed. We were one of the last frontiers of the world. Although our cooked food is not rich in spice or flavor, our culture is.
@Aboguaboga we were discovered in the 1950's. Its almost 2025 now, that should give you an answer. Also the fact that I have access to this video and I am replying to you in clear, concise ENGLISH.
@@jamimahkoarima4734 I did not mean for my comment to come off as rude I literally don’t know anything about these tribes outside of these videos. I didn’t even know these tribes existed until I found this channel and another similar one. With that being said that doesn’t answer which one it is, do you leave and go to the nearest town/city and go back or did you leave and find home somewhere else? Sorry, I have a lot of questions but I won’t ask them if you don’t want to answer them
@Aboguaboga no its fine. Iam happy to answer. We don't live like that now. The people in the video were simply reenacting how we used to live. We wear clothes, some sleep in modern houses and some in those traditional huts. But we mostly prefer traditional huts as the its very cold especially during the nights.
This is what i like about this man he respects each other’s cultures and traditions. Tells the story in so beautifully.❤❤ feels like he blends into the society where ever he go
So you will also respect the old time Western man tradition that we are the boss in the house and get payed more for the same job ? Or is emancipation just a Western thing ?

And then a few weeks later your videos from here pop up on my feed. Awesome!! Thanks for coming and checking out PNG’s food.

I'm Norwegian, so to me this is as exotic and far away from our way of life as it could possibly get. I am deeply fascinated by all cultures where people still live this authentically intertwined with nature and seasons - practically unsoiled by modern influences in their daily lives. We are all products of the social environment and culture we grew up in. We who grew up in some variety of a western, modern consumer culture are certainly not in a position where we can judge other cultures at all. We should take a good look at our own way of life, and the way we treat this precious planet - using our own greed as an excuse. The way we live is not good for the planet, and it's not good for our mental health. At the age of 60, I could never adapt to your way of life, but I find myself longing for a middle ground... This was inspirational!
I feel educated every time I watch one of these videos, watching the tribe having a meat party and all laughing with Sonny was awesome. I'm glad I subscribed 😁
I just realised why I always get hooked and never bored by your videos Sonni, you speak so fast sonetimes. There is no input breaks, the videos never even started boring me
@@Ole_CornPop Lol exactly what I was thinking. OP is the typa dude that needs subway surfers playing on the bottom half of the screen just to keep interested. It's such a shame what social media has done to people's brains.
Wow! I was really worried you went to Tari. But omg. Thank you for this video! Even tho im a Papua New Guinean, i've learnt alot about our own Huli people through this video. And btw, you are soo cultured! In png bringing gifts when visiting is class for sure. Very much appreciated. Your sense of humour and how cuturally intelligent you are made me really enjoy this video. Soo much respect for you.
Honestly this has got to be one of the best most interesting channels on youtube. Thank you to all those who make this channel possible. I absolutely love it! Growing up in the swamps of Louisiana. Our family raised hundreds of wild boar our entire lives. This method of preparing the hogs for cooking is alot similar to the way we remove the hair and butcher the animal. I have a knife specifically for scraping or shaving the hair from the hogs we harvest that belong to my great grandfather. Its a very important part of our way of life here.
This video is a great example of why I love Sonny and this show so much. It's so rare to see someone so receptive of another culture without carrying any prejudices for how they, and always have, lived their lives. Food is the one thing we all have in common, and it's so amazing to see that link be the catalyst for connecting with people in a way that otherwise wouldn't have been possible.
Thankyou Sonny for being so open-minded with this whole experience. I'm from the Islands Region of PNG, but my people of Hela in the Highlands Region, are some of the most loyal folks you will ever come across. Despite the notorious tribal conflicts, they are some of the most wonderful people to interact with 💯🇵🇬
Great content. Just to clarify though, in PNG when you hear someone call something "sweet" in terms of food, it's a way of saying it's delicious or something like that. It does not literally mean it tastes sweet. Anyways great content, and thank you so much for showcasing a part of Papua new guineas culture. Peace 💯🤝
I love the way he is always open to try new things, never judgemental and always respectful of any cultures he encounters no matter how different their customs.
give respect to cultures that deserve respect. not all cultures are respectable. people who are open to anything are weak and dangerous. granted he visiting their home, so he can't just be walking into a group of 10+ men disrespecting them on how badly they treat their women.. if he plans on leaving. who knows what he thinks in private. this is for show.
This is such a great watch, as always Sonny. Thank you for sharing this culture, I cried happy tears seeing those women getting to eat chicken. It puts things into perspective, for sure.
Ooh man...i really really love this dude... Since i saw his video 9years ago..i never stop waiting and watching new video from him...sony I'm proud of you man.. You never hesitate to share rare,ancient food form local tribe or local community,,,looking forward for you new video my man..hope you can show the world Borneo tribe food next time.... ❤❤❤
I hope you never visit our countries with your backward repressive views of women and their oppression. I know it’s your culture. So please keep it where it belongs. In your homeland. . Women are highly valued and respected in my society. The only thing I enjoyed about this was your food.
It's always interesting to see foreigners try local delicacy but its very refreshing to see how open you are to not only trying food but blending in with the tribe. Appreciate also the fact that you've included the widows, I'm sure they too appreciate being able to tell their stories.
I went to Uni in Perth, Western Australia, and they have a fairly sizable population of people from PNG. Had 3 housemates from there during my first year plus met a bunch throughout my 4 years there. Some of the coolest and most genuine people you'll ever met. Such a rich, welcoming and vibrant culture. I need to visit one day.
Thanks, Brother. It's views and comments like this that at least makes me have hope for my country as a Papua New Guinean 🇵🇬 Amidst all the bad media publicity. Yes, there's quite a few PNG people in Australia because Australia technically administered and colonized Papua New Guinea until 16th September 1975. I'm 24 and even I went to a Private Boys School in Brisbane, St. Joseph's Nugee College from year 9 to 12, so basically my whole high school and a bit of University there and I atleast had like 40 or 20 PNG people in my cohort apart from the other grades and classes so yeah I guess PNG is generally like Australia in how all government systems and modes of communication is concerned. Btw thank you so much for your great comment. Love from Port Moresby ❤️ And Visit Soon Please and Even I would be Willing to Provide accommodation and take you around the country if you wish 😅
As a fellow Papua New Guinean I'd like to mention that these people, the Huli people are not as primitive as it seems in the video. They are educated, can speak a little english, wear clothes, have internet access etc., but for this video maybe their village Elders asked them to dress traditionally for Sonny just to introduce to him how their ancestors live. It's normal way of life everywhere in PNG we accept western influences but still retain our cultural roots.
@BestEverFoodReviewShow Hello team, you guys should consider coming back to kenya...there's lots of amazing places you didn't get to see and experience the culture 😉
Making a video is easy but cheering with people without showing disrespect,disgrace,without showing discrimination is hard.and it can only be understood by people who know the value of respecting different types of other cultures. Just Hats off dude keep going n explore more especially tribes cultures . Let the world know them❤❤❤😊
They are good people If you get to live among them they will take care of you... It's just the tribal fights that make it notorious but all in all hela people are a good bunch to be with
Dude, you have an amazing heart, sense of humor and ability to share with us, those amazing experiences. This is by far, my favourite youtube channel. I feel sorry for the widows, I wish there was a way to help them.
@@Mr.Hooter702 u sound truly closed minded, education and modern resources are scarce in that remote area. To send their children to school costs money and extra fees for transportation, which they clearly don't have. Don't comment with your racist stupid ideology. It's a flex to still be in touch and maintain their culture and practices.
@@Mr.Hooter702These people are civilised. They have clothes and sleep in decent houses. They are decent human beings. Some of the most kindest people I've met in the world. This is just for the video. 🙄 Not everything on the Internet is true. To Sonny if you are reading this. I love this video. Very informative. Thank you for showing the Huli culture to the world 🙏❤️
I was beginning to think maybe sweet didn't exactly mean the same thing to them as it does us.. especially since sweet can mean a few different things in english..
yes, sometimes the word 'sweet' is confused or lost in translation in PNG. It usually means 'excellent' or 'very good'. Not that the food tastes sweet. So same word, different meanings. To get the meaning right, you have to take it in context..... does this person speak English fluently? IF yes, sweet will mean that the food is sweet. Or if they speak 'tok ples' (local language /village language) or tok pisin, "sweet" will likely mean 'awesome/excellent/very good". And if you are not sure, you have to ask or confirm with your guide and translator. There are so many misunderstandings over there due to cultural and language differences. It is funny though. You hear someone say a word that you recognise in English... and then you find out it means something completely or a little different !!
Big fan here. Thanks for coming to my country to expose how good our different kind food is, unlike other RUclipsrs who come here to expose how dangerous our country is. We are a peaceful country. Hope you enjoy your stay and bring good stories back to your family and friends ❤️🇵🇬
Back in 1944 my grandfather was there with the 'Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels'. He had been to lots of places in the world in the Army as a Dr. He didn't talk much about the rest of the world. But he would tell us about you. He loved your people. I think that's why my parents had their honeymoon there. They loved it too. We know your people. Certainly don't think you are strange or scary. Very much the opposite actually. ❤❤❤ from 🇦🇺.
Glad you came to PNG and visited a remote village and made this video. Everything you stated and described about the mumu process is spot on. Keep it up. One bit that made me laugh was towards the end of your video when you said "when I die, mumu my body "😅😅😅😅😅. You so funny and your channel is the best. Hope you visit PNG again in the near future.
I love seeing these different cultures. Even if I may disagree with some stuff, or not understand- I will ALWAYS have respect for people keeping up traditions
Thank you Sonny for covering a part of my country, PNG. I would recommend you visit Kokopo in East New Britain next. You're a great hero and advocate for indegenious food and indegenious cultures of the world, esp 3rd world countries. You're even brave enough to eat with locals... Cheers to your great work.🎉🎉😊😊
I do enjoy the night markets, the restaurants and the cruises. But when you bring something I’ve never seen before, or even imagined, as a chef, I always come back. Thank you.
Man you are superb.. Love the way you getting to the remotesd areas around the world including Papua New Guinea. The way you get to understand different cultures and present them with ease is just great.. Keep up the good work and Greetings from Papua New Guinea..We salute you..Cheers..
As a Papua New Guinean, I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. I appreciate your storytelling of the different aspects of the Huli Tribe culture, especially the food; mainly how you captured it with you your great sense of humour too. 🤣🙌 I also have to admit that you have educated me on some things I never knew about this great tribe (guilty), so thanks. 😭🙏
Mad respect for you, bro. Thanks for the experience. We're from PNG, but since we are culturally diverse, we don't get to see and understand our unique identities. This video serves as an important insight understanding the HULI culture. Blessed by this content.
Ive lost count of the years Ive followed Sonny and the places hes taken me to. Ive always known he'd visit PNG someday and have always wondered what he'd make of it not with just the food but mostly our culture. Ive always loved how hes openly accepting to alot of different cultures no matter how bizarre and has always taken it upon the channel the responsibility of disseminating and sharing with the world the positive side of wherever and whoever he visits. Well done Sonny. Thank you for visiting PNG and may God Protect & Bless you, your family and your crew and your futures.
Thank you brother! I'm from that tribe (Huli). so proud for letting my culture and the way of cooking to the people (world) know. Thank you again much appreciated for your work. Keep it up🇵🇬🫂🤝
Sonny has now become the best Travel food guy in the planet. Imo, he's cemented himself as on par with any Travel food chef out there, rivaling even Anthony Bourdain imho. Mark my words, he will go down not just in youtube or internet history, but just in general history as arguably the best Travel Food guy.
what a crazy episode sonny. Oh man, you never fail to impress me. the way you respect cultures and also embrace while with them and eat like them with no inhibitions. Would love to meet you one finde day, hopefully it happens.
Wow 😳.. I've seriously learnt alot from the huli tribe even tho I'm from Png... Really shows how diverse my country is and I'm from the coastal area... Thanks sonny laughed alot in this one 😂💙💯🔥
In Hawaii we cook pigs in an imu, very similar. The early Hawaiians also kept women separated from the men, especially during menstration. Great video! Thank you! And Aloha!
All schools IN PNG are thought in English. Even the remotest Islands isolated in the ocean. No internet access but still English is the official language 😂
Thankyou for doing a video in PNG. We have 22 Provinces. 800+ languages. This video is made in Hela province. Just one province. Please come back and do video for other provinces as well. We have different cultures and ways of traditional dishes that is delicious also. Anyways thanks.😊
@kirby7241 Do you have a more accurate translation if you're saying the other explanation isn't? Genuinely curious because it seems to make more sense to me than "women are dirty"
I think that separation is necessary for them. The mans need to hunt and stuff. They need to be "tough". That's why they teach their boys not to hang out with women. Those women are "weak". I do agree the translator didn't do a good job, though.
I never saw it coming too. However, I recently watched another clip of a PNG grandma catching fish using traditional means, and her English was perfect. I came to learn that Papua New Guineans are actually some of the best non-native speakers of English.
Such a fantastic video Sonny!! As a Papua New Guinean, when we say the food is sweet it means we enjoy the taste of it, it's delicious. We could put salt on chicken and say the food is "sweet"
I love you Sonny and your team and I love the way you introduce Papua New Guinea to the world. With all the videos you have done, I think this is the best ever 🎉
I'm halfway trough this video, and its better than any type of video that covers this type of subject matter. 😁👍💖💖💖 Sonny and Team have done a fantastic job.

I feel educated every time I watch one of these videos, watching the tribe having a meat party and all laughing with Sonny was awesome. I'm glad I subscribed 😁
I just realised why I always get hooked and never bored by your videos Sonni, you speak so fast sonetimes. There is no input breaks, the videos never even started boring me
I guess I speak at a similar speed. So I get bored more easily by people speaking slow
Careful, that's called Tik Tok brain, it's a new phenomenon caused by constant stimulation without giving your brain a break.
@@Ole_CornPop Lol exactly what I was thinking. OP is the typa dude that needs subway surfers playing on the bottom half of the screen just to keep interested. It's such a shame what social media has done to people's brains.
Wow! I was really worried you went to Tari. But omg. Thank you for this video! Even tho im a Papua New Guinean, i've learnt alot about our own Huli people through this video. And btw, you are soo cultured! In png bringing gifts when visiting is class for sure. Very much appreciated. Your sense of humour and how cuturally intelligent you are made me really enjoy this video. Soo much respect for you.
Its facinating that two tribe papua indonesia and new guinea
With thousand miles away has same diet and a way of life
Full love from merauke🇮🇩
We are one people
Free West Papua & mah Kanakyssss!!
@@thvtsydneylyf3th077 nah, just let aborigin make their own country
Honestly this has got to be one of the best most interesting channels on youtube. Thank you to all those who make this channel possible. I absolutely love it! Growing up in the swamps of Louisiana. Our family raised hundreds of wild boar our entire lives. This method of preparing the hogs for cooking is alot similar to the way we remove the hair and butcher the animal. I have a knife specifically for scraping or shaving the hair from the hogs we harvest that belong to my great grandfather. Its a very important part of our way of life here.
This is by far the best food review show
Sonny this is one of the best videos that I have ever seen.I love tribal people,their culture,food and everything about them.
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Mr Side is truly a gift ... Keeping knowledge and entertainment alive. 👏👏👏
True.
This video is a great example of why I love Sonny and this show so much. It's so rare to see someone so receptive of another culture without carrying any prejudices for how they, and always have, lived their lives. Food is the one thing we all have in common, and it's so amazing to see that link be the catalyst for connecting with people in a way that otherwise wouldn't have been possible.
He is losing too much weight.
You people neee to stop calling uncivilization "culture"
Thankyou Sonny for being so open-minded with this whole experience.
I'm from the Islands Region of PNG, but my people of Hela in the Highlands Region, are some of the most loyal folks you will ever come across. Despite the notorious tribal conflicts, they are some of the most wonderful people to interact with 💯🇵🇬
Just seeing that little boy’s smile when Sonny gave him that piece was priceless.
Great content. Just to clarify though, in PNG when you hear someone call something "sweet" in terms of food, it's a way of saying it's delicious or something like that. It does not literally mean it tastes sweet. Anyways great content, and thank you so much for showcasing a part of Papua new guineas culture. Peace 💯🤝
Thank you that explains a lot 🫡🗿
Oh I was thinking about the umami flavor but your explanation is better
Thats what I was thinking, they are just saying its delicious 😋
Yes that was what i was thinking as well :D
Similar usage in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
I love the way he is always open to try new things, never judgemental and always respectful of any cultures he encounters no matter how different their customs.
lol i know, and still people will hate haha!
give respect to cultures that deserve respect. not all cultures are respectable. people who are open to anything are weak and dangerous.
granted he visiting their home, so he can't just be walking into a group of 10+ men disrespecting them on how badly they treat their women.. if he plans on leaving.
who knows what he thinks in private. this is for show.
This has to be One of my favorite episodes ❤ The Papuan people, especially the "Dirty creatures" aka Woman, were so genuinely welcoming.
I was expecting to see Nick Fuentes lurking in the background
This is such a great watch, as always Sonny. Thank you for sharing this culture, I cried happy tears seeing those women getting to eat chicken. It puts things into perspective, for sure.
Ooh man...i really really love this dude... Since i saw his video 9years ago..i never stop waiting and watching new video from him...sony I'm proud of you man.. You never hesitate to share rare,ancient food form local tribe or local community,,,looking forward for you new video my man..hope you can show the world Borneo tribe food next time.... ❤❤❤
Thankyou for visiting my country and for the unbiased content. Appreciated highly! 🇵🇬❤
I hope you never visit our countries with your backward repressive views of women and their oppression. I know it’s your culture. So please keep it where it belongs. In your homeland. . Women are highly valued and respected in my society. The only thing I enjoyed about this was your food.
Sonny, you're the man! Thanks for visiting my country Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬. Waiting for your Kokopo trip.
Kopex is next up i hear, no??
It's always interesting to see foreigners try local delicacy but its very refreshing to see how open you are to not only trying food but blending in with the tribe.
Appreciate also the fact that you've included the widows, I'm sure they too appreciate being able to tell their stories.
I went to Uni in Perth, Western Australia, and they have a fairly sizable population of people from PNG. Had 3 housemates from there during my first year plus met a bunch throughout my 4 years there. Some of the coolest and most genuine people you'll ever met. Such a rich, welcoming and vibrant culture. I need to visit one day.
Most of PNG in Perth are miners (geologists, engineers,trades etc)
Thanks, Brother.
It's views and comments like this that at least makes me have hope for my country as a Papua New Guinean 🇵🇬 Amidst all the bad media publicity.
Yes, there's quite a few PNG people in Australia because Australia technically administered and colonized Papua New Guinea until 16th September 1975.
I'm 24 and even I went to a Private Boys School in Brisbane, St. Joseph's Nugee College from year 9 to 12, so basically my whole high school and a bit of University there and I atleast had like 40 or 20 PNG people in my cohort apart from the other grades and classes so yeah I guess PNG is generally like Australia in how all government systems and modes of communication is concerned.
Btw thank you so much for your great comment.
Love from Port Moresby ❤️
And Visit Soon Please and Even I would be Willing to Provide accommodation and take you around the country if you wish 😅
@@emautafaalmidake7530Ahh that's right. My Dad's a geologist and was trained further and worked in Perth when I was younger
which uni was it ?
The Pig cooking is like watching a sport with a commentator
As a fellow Papua New Guinean I'd like to mention that these people, the Huli people are not as primitive as it seems in the video. They are educated, can speak a little english, wear clothes, have internet access etc., but for this video maybe their village Elders asked them to dress traditionally for Sonny just to introduce to him how their ancestors live. It's normal way of life everywhere in PNG we accept western influences but still retain our cultural roots.
This is the format we need. More info on the cultural background of the food. Great
Thanks for the notes. Yes, PNG is technically in Oceania, not Asia, even though the West part of the same island is considered Asia.
sunny i am your biggest fan
Also "sweet" means more like "awesome" I lived in PNG when I was a kid and this is a common confusion for people who don't Talk Pisin
All of PNG are Melanesian please do not lump Asian and pacific people like all of America!
The worn out crotch of your jeans was all I could look at lol
@BestEverFoodReviewShow Hello team, you guys should consider coming back to kenya...there's lots of amazing places you didn't get to see and experience the culture 😉
Making a video is easy but cheering with people without showing disrespect,disgrace,without showing discrimination is hard.and it can only be understood by people who know the value of respecting different types of other cultures. Just Hats off dude keep going n explore more especially tribes cultures . Let the world know them❤❤❤😊
Bro visited one of the most notorious provinces in PNG and made it feel like a walk in the park. 👑
Exactly my thoughts
Exactly 💯
What's about the province?
They are good people If you get to live among them they will take care of you... It's just the tribal fights that make it notorious but all in all hela people are a good bunch to be with
@@jonzmahn3714 💯
Thank you Sonny for taking us on this adventure, which most of us would never experience in the real World. God Bless you and your family. 👍👍🤗🤗💙💙
Thank you so.much for sharing some of our culture with the world..enjoyed every bit of it ..sending you all the love from PNG..❤❤❤❤
Dude, you have an amazing heart, sense of humor and ability to share with us, those amazing experiences. This is by far, my favourite youtube channel. I feel sorry for the widows, I wish there was a way to help them.
I'm watching from Papua New Guinea right now n feel so proud even though I am an African living in PNG❤❤❤🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬
Living like a cave man makes you proud? Not evolving isn't a flex my guy.
Why are u being a bully!! Get a life who are u to tell ppl how to live!
@@Mr.Hooter702 u sound truly closed minded, education and modern resources are scarce in that remote area. To send their children to school costs money and extra fees for transportation, which they clearly don't have. Don't comment with your racist stupid ideology. It's a flex to still be in touch and maintain their culture and practices.
you should not feel proud....
@@Mr.Hooter702These people are civilised. They have clothes and sleep in decent houses. They are decent human beings. Some of the most kindest people I've met in the world. This is just for the video. 🙄 Not everything on the Internet is true.
To Sonny if you are reading this. I love this video. Very informative. Thank you for showing the Huli culture to the world 🙏❤️
Sunny, you did it again, bloody great stuff 😎💪💪💪🔥
“Sweet” is the Papua New Guinean way of saying something is DELICIOUS 🤣🤣
Sometimes things are lost in translation 🤣🤣
I was beginning to think maybe sweet didn't exactly mean the same thing to them as it does us.. especially since sweet can mean a few different things in english..
So true😂
yes, sometimes the word 'sweet' is confused or lost in translation in PNG. It usually means 'excellent' or 'very good'. Not that the food tastes sweet. So same word, different meanings.
To get the meaning right, you have to take it in context..... does this person speak English fluently? IF yes, sweet will mean that the food is sweet.
Or if they speak 'tok ples' (local language /village language) or tok pisin, "sweet" will likely mean 'awesome/excellent/very good".
And if you are not sure, you have to ask or confirm with your guide and translator.
There are so many misunderstandings over there due to cultural and language differences.
It is funny though.
You hear someone say a word that you recognise in English... and then you find out it means something completely or a little different !!
Sweet and delicious are literally the same thing in most of our African communities too. 😂😂😂
Big fan here. Thanks for coming to my country to expose how good our different kind food is, unlike other RUclipsrs who come here to expose how dangerous our country is. We are a peaceful country. Hope you enjoy your stay and bring good stories back to your family and friends ❤️🇵🇬
Back in 1944 my grandfather was there with the 'Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels'. He had been to lots of places in the world in the Army as a Dr. He didn't talk much about the rest of the world. But he would tell us about you. He loved your people. I think that's why my parents had their honeymoon there. They loved it too. We know your people. Certainly don't think you are strange or scary. Very much the opposite actually. ❤❤❤ from 🇦🇺.
@jm9841 Thank you brother .
Glad you came to PNG and visited a remote village and made this video. Everything you stated and described about the mumu process is spot on. Keep it up. One bit that made me laugh was towards the end of your video when you said "when I die, mumu my body "😅😅😅😅😅. You so funny and your channel is the best. Hope you visit PNG again in the near future.
Other food influencer: I dont smoke.
Sonny: 😗🚬 😮💨😮💨😮💨💨💨
😂😂😂😂
Dude has Zero Fears
I love seeing these different cultures.
Even if I may disagree with some stuff, or not understand- I will ALWAYS have respect for people keeping up traditions
Interesting.
Thank you Sonny for covering a part of my country, PNG. I would recommend you visit Kokopo in East New Britain next.
You're a great hero and advocate for indegenious food and indegenious cultures of the world, esp 3rd world countries.
You're even brave enough to eat with locals...
Cheers to your great work.🎉🎉😊😊
I do enjoy the night markets, the restaurants and the cruises. But when you bring something I’ve never seen before, or even imagined, as a chef, I always come back. Thank you.
Thank you for showcasing PNG's traditional cooking and the Huli culture in Hela province.. 🇵🇬😍
Your channel is always enlightening, great always sonny 💯
I'm so happy I found this channel. I would've never found out about this tribes or other tribes without you
Man you are superb.. Love the way you getting to the remotesd areas around the world including Papua New Guinea. The way you get to understand different cultures and present them with ease is just great.. Keep up the good work and Greetings from Papua New Guinea..We salute you..Cheers..
Am jamaican 🇯🇲 and it's so nice to learn about other cultures 😊
Come to New Guinea sometime its not that bad lol
I am from Papua New Guinea. Watching this makes me happy, thanks for sharing our culture with the world. 🇵🇬☺️
One of the best Authentic videos, I have seen so far, your efforts are much appreciated !
As a Papua New Guinean, I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. I appreciate your storytelling of the different aspects of the Huli Tribe culture, especially the food; mainly how you captured it with you your great sense of humour too. 🤣🙌 I also have to admit that you have educated me on some things I never knew about this great tribe (guilty), so thanks. 😭🙏
Mad respect for you, bro. Thanks for the experience. We're from PNG, but since we are culturally diverse, we don't get to see and understand our unique identities. This video serves as an important insight understanding the HULI culture. Blessed by this content.
that smiling little boy and the widow who got the meat is making my day. Bless you Sonny!!
This is supposed to be on a streaming platform… just incredible Sonny!
Yoooo the more i watch this video, i love it lol 😅😂😂😂 u passing the food to the women to eat first. Broo you are a favorite!!! I love this 😭😭😭
“Sweet ya!” 😂😂 typical Papua New Guinean😂 love it😆
Ive lost count of the years Ive followed Sonny and the places hes taken me to. Ive always known he'd visit PNG someday and have always wondered what he'd make of it not with just the food but mostly our culture. Ive always loved how hes openly accepting to alot of different cultures no matter how bizarre and has always taken it upon the channel the responsibility of disseminating and sharing with the world the positive side of wherever and whoever he visits.
Well done Sonny. Thank you for visiting PNG and may God Protect & Bless you, your family and your crew and your futures.
Thank you brother! I'm from that tribe (Huli). so proud for letting my culture and the way of cooking to the people (world) know. Thank you again much appreciated for your work. Keep it up🇵🇬🫂🤝
Man these people know how to enjoy food and they're not hiding it. Those high fives and taps while eating says it all!
what bout the women lool
@@frankwhite5307who cares loser 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was awesome man! I dont normally watch this kind of content but i was so intrigued by the people and the culture. Keep up the great work
Sonny has now become the best Travel food guy in the planet. Imo, he's cemented himself as on par with any Travel food chef out there, rivaling even Anthony Bourdain imho. Mark my words, he will go down not just in youtube or internet history, but just in general history as arguably the best Travel Food guy.
the respect given and shown to every tribe and village visited is what makes this the best ever food review show the food
Great job Sonny! Love your vidoes and I closely follow. Your documentaries teach us all to accept each other regardless of cultural differences.
One of your best videos Sunny, been watching since 2018 and this one is a classic.
Sonny's despair to knowing them beautiful widows having a good meal in a long time is so me, it was really kind of him.
Ikr that part made me tear up
It's absolutely amazing how you can connect with people from all over the world. Great job as always!
what a crazy episode sonny. Oh man, you never fail to impress me. the way you respect cultures and also embrace while with them and eat like them with no inhibitions. Would love to meet you one finde day, hopefully it happens.
Awesome video mate. Love their friendliness
This is such a very nice episode!!! Kudos!
Wow 😳.. I've seriously learnt alot from the huli tribe even tho I'm from Png... Really shows how diverse my country is and I'm from the coastal area... Thanks sonny laughed alot in this one 😂💙💯🔥
In Hawaii we cook pigs in an imu, very similar. The early Hawaiians also kept women separated from the men, especially during menstration. Great video! Thank you! And Aloha!
and in Samoa and Tonga a mumu or imu is called an umu
Yes in Papua New Guinea we call it mumu too
Probably all come from a common ancestry point. I wonder from a science point who's is older
Most amazing content I have ever seen this year. The knowledge he has on how to respectfully contact the different traditions is amazing.
Welcome to my homeland. Hope you've enjoyed your stay, Sonny 🇵🇬💯💫
When the guy answers the wig question in perfect English 😂
All schools IN PNG are thought in English. Even the remotest Islands isolated in the ocean. No internet access but still English is the official language 😂
😂😂😂
They are plants setup like an animal in a zoo to be a spectacle for audience like these
English is the official and formal language in the country. Taught at all primary, secondary and tertiary schools.
Sonny another amazing episode. Thanks Brother. God Bless 🙏🏽
Thankyou for doing a video in PNG. We have 22 Provinces. 800+ languages. This video is made in Hela province. Just one province. Please come back and do video for other provinces as well. We have different cultures and ways of traditional dishes that is delicious also.
Anyways thanks.😊
This show is not only food vlog but also an eye opener of different culture of other people. This show make connections with others
They really appreciated your donations! It may be for content but God bless you Sonny! Thank you!❤
Absolutely the BEST food channel....and by God it lives up to its name!
But that explanation about why women are separated from men baffled me! 😮
I'm really famous 😂😂😂
Personally I find it so ironic because in other cultures women are thought of is way more cleaner than men and men are thought of as dirty creatures 😂
The translator didn't do a good job.
@@PerryKungol still not accurate if anything a man should sleep under the same room to protect his woman and child
@kirby7241 Do you have a more accurate translation if you're saying the other explanation isn't? Genuinely curious because it seems to make more sense to me than "women are dirty"
I think that separation is necessary for them. The mans need to hunt and stuff. They need to be "tough". That's why they teach their boys not to hang out with women. Those women are "weak". I do agree the translator didn't do a good job, though.
Best Ever Food Review Show, you have lived up to your name and done the people of PNG proud in this video. Thank you.
So the men are sat doing arts and crafts and the women are having a smoke sesh. Reverse to my household
😂😂 I honestly didn't see it that way 😊
😂😂😂
In my experience, chicks smoke more than men.
@@keithlarsen7557 because the men stress us out 😅
Men were smoking too
Caught me off guard that the dude's name was Peter and he spoke perfectly in English 🤣😂.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That's why it goes by the tag name: Papua New Guinea- the land of the Unexpected-
I never saw it coming too. However, I recently watched another clip of a PNG grandma catching fish using traditional means, and her English was perfect. I came to learn that Papua New Guineans are actually some of the best non-native speakers of English.
@@felixmakinda7689We were colonised by the English, we speak and write in the King's English.
@@Pujaro-wr7zu same thing with my country, Kenya, but it is not uncommon to find many people who cannot speak English at all in rural areas.
Here everyone knows english😂@@felixmakinda7689
Such a fantastic video Sonny!!
As a Papua New Guinean, when we say the food is sweet it means we enjoy the taste of it, it's delicious. We could put salt on chicken and say the food is "sweet"
I love you Sonny and your team and I love the way you introduce Papua New Guinea to the world. With all the videos you have done, I think this is the best ever 🎉
the handshakes while eating got me LOL
lol that should be done everywhere!
It's the equivalent of giving high fives. It's just a way of expressing their happiness lol
Tari, this place is where I worked before with the PNG-LNG project. I remember my friend JHONNY KAREPE. I think that's his tribe featured.😊😊😊
I'm halfway trough this video, and its better than any type of video that covers this type of subject matter. 😁👍💖💖💖 Sonny and Team have done a fantastic job.
