Me looking at the thumbnail…
“That’s not food…”
Clicked on video..
“Oh never mind” 😂😂
How about you stick to food volgs rather than picking on other people lives
Surviving Brunei looked like a wild, eye-opening culinary adventure — had me hooked from first bite to last!
Someone said to an American:
“I heard you criticize countries that violate human rights.”
The American replied:
“Yeah, that’s true… except when they’re our friends.” 😉
Seems like the people are wonderful there and the culture is less strict than we thought . That hotel is stunning
that nasi katok egg is not that big…. but its still the best
34:30 get that inner Ozzy Osbourne on 😂
Just unsubscribe
Be honest, were you hoping to get your hand cut off for some views and a cool story? You could be like the bald guy from Norsemen
I hope you check out Penang sometime
This is Muslim Sharia law, and there is law in USA or other country even not good but still the follow and respect the law, i think better brother stick with food as we enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you
You finally lost me on this one. Content has been downhill for a while. Time to unsubscribe.
Sonny i love ur vids. i saw your vids when you visited Sri Lanka and you missed alot of good food, maybe because of the economic was bad, but now SL is way better pls come again we would love to see you here.
Jaga, ada tah yg kan mengakun makanan berasal dari bisdurang ni…. 😅
everything has MSG in Asia, and here in Latin America most people don't even know what it is.
No American should ever talk about human rights when u r supporting a genocide in gaza
What a clown propagadist you are. Why don't you talk about the crimes of western countries when you visit them? Brainwashed.
Yesterday a man broke into my RV while me my wife, mom and two kids were sleeping inside. Even though I woke up he still was able to steal my wife's bag, my phone and kids backpacks. Cutting people hands for stealing after this experience doesn't sound that extreme any more.
based country, because once you give voice to those freaks, they can't stop demanding stuff
Homosexual activity isn't a sin to you? Dam foo, u lost.. seek Jesus.
welcome to Brunei and hope u enjoy ur experience here
You don't have freedom of speech, u can't even express your opinion regarding changes or slight criticism will lead you and your family to Jail or much worse you may disappear. BRUNEI is rich version of afghanistan only difference is the King has money to suppress our voices and never let the world hear it . Indonesia is poor but they have more freedom. The king literally controls the social media
I'm excited to see where you guys are going to take us to next! 😁Metaphorically typing, regarding the religious law, it might be that the dress is fitting the person comfortably rather than the person having to struggle wearing it. Just another angle looking at things. Btw I'm chunky, slightly harder to look for clothes 💀. I don't wear a dress either ♿
Islam is 💯% fully debunked, false.
This is the Sonny Side style I fell in love with almost a decade ago! This is raw, talented journalism, amazing editing, storytelling, and most of all, taking risks in the road less travel, off the beaten path areas to tell a powerful story … Keep up the amazing work, Mister Side! 🙏🙏🙏
Man, wish I couldve met you here, i was so shocked when i heard u were in Brunei for a short time
Idc about gays so what's wrong about the boycott sharia law rules
Syafi was a great cohost. It added some additional entertainment. Would love to see him again!
You sure this isn’t Michigan?
YESSS FINALLYYYYY
0:06 is this a private property, or a public space? I wish America had architecture one enjoys to look at.
brunei will be 20%-30% less strict if the sultan lifts the state of emergency that has been active since 1962.. the monarch uses this as a leverage to sustain absolute control of the country so that nobody can get richer than him and start controlling the economy.. oh and the sharia law in brunei is entirely different than those in other muslim countries; it only applies to the citizens, permanent residents and foreigners but the royal families are exempted from it.. for this reason brunei is dubbed as 'the muslim version of north korea'…
All the food on here is a no for me! 😭
"FUN"
come to Sarawak, its not Malaysia
The irony here parallels Afghanistan's culinary scene, outsiders see rigid theocracy, locals know where to find the best kebabs. Sharia governance and food culture exist in completely
I assume you Will never visit Israël than 😏
Brunei look like Indonesia and Malaysia
Y’all know no BLACK family moving there 😂😂
