SAGA is a fine dining, Michelin-star restaurant based in New York. The restaurant is situated on the 63rd floor of 70 Pine Street in New York's Financial District.

During the first half of the video, the 25-year-old Twitch streamer toured the restaurant and was floored upon seeing the authentic Moroccan tea and glasses present there.

Pokimane also spoke with the head chef at the Michelin 3-star restaurant. She asked him how he managed to secure such a beautiful location. The head chef stated:

"Yo, this building found us. I was looking for the next project, and this building came to us."

The influencer's culinary experience started when they were served a signature cocktail called Easy Money.

The Michelin star restaurant then served the Twitch star a flagship serving of roasted duck, which was glazed with chili honey and kombucha squash hummus on the side.

The eight-course meal came to an end with the final serving of roasted plum honey nougat dessert being presented. Pokimane provided her opinions regarding the fantastic dessert:

"This is like the perfect dish to finish off all the food we had. It's a bit of everything, but it's like so refreshing. Almost like, a little bit light. Really, really good.

She added:

"You know what dessert always makes me think of? Deserts in anime. Because it looks so freaking good in anime, especially like a little strawberry sandwiches with cream."

In the end, Poki thanked HyperX for putting the video together, and she also thanked the restaurant for serving a luxurious meal.
