I'll begin with the Lin which are the
meatballs because she just grilled them
really
fresh that's like a a little mini
sausage
bite hey everyone it's Mark we with
migrationology dcom in Bangkok Thailand
and for lunch today I am at a restaurant
calledo an
this restaurant is located just down the
street from Bangkok Hospital and they
are famous for a couple of different
things one of them is their lining which
are grilled meatballs but then they also
have beef noodles so I have gotten a
selection of the different dishes that
they offer and I'm about to dig in do
they have a tub over here of
Chopsticks oh and then a sauce dipping
Bowl as well and then a
spoon I'll begin with the look Shin
which are the meatballs because she just
grilled them really fresh and she
grilled them on such a high heat that it
was just a beautiful thing Sparks were
flying everywhere and she basically just
just grilled them in the pure Flames
there're two different types this one on
the bottom here looks a little bit
smoother and then this one looks more
like a kind of like a minced meat
meatball and you could either order it
with the sauce on the side or you could
order it with sauce all over it but I
decided to get the sauce on the side
let's do a quick a quick little bounce
test oh yeah you can that definitely has
some elasticity to
it quick
dip
wow that's really good
M this one definitely it's not a not
like a really smooth meatball it has
some good texture to it like a minced
meat texture and then the sauce is like
a a sweet chili sauce oh wow that's
really
good that's like a a little mini sausage
bite okay let me try the other type and
this one is definitely going to be
smoother in
texture yes that one is definitely a lot
more smooth in texture very spongy as
well and and what I really like about it
is that you can really taste that fire
it has such a wonderful fire Smokey
roasted taste to
it yeah these are some very good
meatballs I prefer that other one though
with the the minced meat texture for the
beef noodles they have two different
types of beef that you can order one is
called n which is like a brazed tender
soft beef and the other is n which is
just regular raw beef which which is
then cooked I got two different dishes
and I got them each with a different uh
different types of beef so we will test
them out and then also about the noodles
here they have two different types of
noodles one of them is seni which is
what I got which are the very thin rice
noodles and then they also have senyai
which are the wide flat rice noodles but
this is the um seni with n which is the
brazed beef or actually maybe the beef
is not brazed but maybe it's just boiled
for a very long time until it gets very
tender and then the noodles are under
here looks like a little bit of soy
sauce and then it is topped with a
little bit of crispy garlic and shallots
and before I add any seasoning oh
there's some bean sprouts in here too
before I add any seasoning got to have
that piece of beef on the top there with
a little bit of
noodles that beef is insanely tender it
actually is so tender that it just sort
of dissolved into to my bite of noodles
the noodles are a little bit on the
sweet side have a little bit of a
sweetness to them um but the beef is
just incredibly tender I think what I do
need to do is season the first seasoning
is definitely chili flakes and actually
this is more like chili powder often
they have more like flakes but this is
very
fine okay that should be good and then
you got to go in for some vinegar
I'll give this two good scoops of
vinegar and then give it a nice tossing
to mix all that chili in there and it
could also really taste the the crispy
fried garlic in there as
well that beef just melts in your mouth
and it's really good with all of that
chili and vinegar because that actually
the the way they served it the noodles
were on the sweet side but then
balancing it with that chili and that
vinegar that just completely balances it
off oh yeah that is fantastic that
beef moving over from my noodles I also
got a bowl of G with n and this is this
is a soup with no noodles in it so it's
just bean sprouts and then this is beef
the fresh beef so it's a different type
of beef again there's some crispy garlic
on top let me taste the the soup
[Music]
broth oh wow that is a a richly
flavorful broth M you can it's salty
it's it's a little bit meaty and it's it
has like a refreshing green onion kind
of taste to it as well and then there's
like a depth of umami as
well that beef is still very tender but
it doesn't have like that disintegrating
melt in your mouth component to it like
the beef in the other
Bowl add in a little bit of
chili I like how they ground the chili
really fine as well because it it really
gets sometimes when they have chili
flakes it gets stuck in your teeth but
this is really fine powder so it just
covers everything coats everything in
[Music]
spiciness so good with that sprinkle of
chili and with that vinegar to make it
nice and
sour those first bowls of beef noodles
were so good that we had to get another
bowl and also order some more meatballs
this one is senyai which are the wide
rice noodles and then this is the The
Boiled
beef yeah those noodles they it's like a
sheet of noodle the other bowls of
noodles because I took so many photos
they got kind of cold before I ate them
but this bowl of noodles is nice and
fresh and hot and it's it's even better
when it's nice and fresh and hot hot
like
this I'm impressed with their soup broth
ying and I both liked the Lin the
meatballs so much especially the the one
that had more of a minced meat texture
to them that we had to order another
plate of them and actually I found the
secret as to why they are so good and
have so much flavor it's because they're
a mix of ground tendon as well as ground
meat so that kind of like fatty sponge
or not Patty but like gelatinous texture
is just incredible that's what makes
them so good is that tendon in
there those are like little balls of
sausage but you get that little just a
little tiny
gristle from that tendon which improves
the texture and The Taste oh I think I
can double
up I really love the meatballs but I'm
not so much into the sauce that they
served which is pretty sweet and kind of
like a Tangy chili sauce so I decided to
make my own sauce with that that chili
powder and then one scoop of vinegar and
a little bit of fish
sauce oh and with this sauce I'm just
going to fully submerge and let it
marinate for a little
bit oh that's a good sauce it's spicy
and sour with that salty fish sauce
touch that was a fantastic lunch and we
talked with the owner he's very nice
this is just a cool restaurant it's it's
kind of like in the front patio of a
house but all the tables are set out
here it is nice and sheltered there's
some good fan air movement and also they
have a a nice like actually a pretty
sizable potted plant garden but the
owner was just telling me that the beef
that is in the the The Boiled beef is I
think it's beef shin and I think
actually probably my favorite thing of
the entire meal though were the Lin end
which they're called in Thai which were
the the tendon meatballs those were
fantastic and that's actually something
that's I I've never seen it before in
Thailand usually they're the very smooth
kind of hot doggy meatballs these were
fantastic and then roasted over that
open fire that was delicious um yeah
great place to come for good meatballs
