all right so we're all spruced up on it off for dinner at Bangkok 78 which is the on-site
restaurant one of the main reasons that she picked this hotel is because I liked the look
of the restaurant I've heard good things about the restaurant I wanted to give you guys somewhere
that has a restaurant that isn't astronomically priced and hopefully has good food so
let's go because all you families out there will know that sometimes when you've got a tired little
a tired little hooligan sometimes you can't actually get out of the hotel at night time
like don't we we very rarely actually leave in the evening do we to go anywhere
yeah we used to but now we usually just eat in the hotel and I've been caught out a few times
now there's some bad bad food so um I'm I'm I'm sure that this is going to live up to expectations
all right so I think personally this is a really really good deal that they've got going on here
so you can get two dishes including like one main dish and a dessert for 259 and most of
the main dishes are like 220 250s plus plus or you can get three dishes so one appetizer one
main dish and one dessert which we're getting for three nine nine and again I'll show you
the prices on the menu afterwards or you can get boiled rice set with two bottles of Leo
or two fizzy drinks or five nine nine so you get five little dishes and um some boiled rice some
caldon and that's five nine nine and considering where we are I think that's an absolute still
all right so the
common Yang has come with Nam Jim gel so if you follow my channel you'll know namjim gel as that
spicy Eastern dipping sauce there's also a Bala so fermented isan fish dip chili and
fermented fish so we'll see how that goes down we've got some patchy parang which is coolantra
and we've got some patchy Lao which is Dill some cucumber crispy crispy garlic and this
lovely fatty looks to be perfectly cooked pork chow look at the fat look at the layer
of fat in between that lean meat okay and this one's very very interesting so this is
pod so nem is well this is the nem Todd so this is breaded deep fried fermented sausage and this is
the actual fermented sausage in all its Glory so I don't have to I don't have to explain this one
to everyone's favorite Thai curry so here we have a curry of beetle leaf a red curry coconut base
with Beetle leaf fresh large freshwater prawns coconut cream and loads and loads and loads
of crab meat that comes with Kai Yang matum gummy eggs and some fresh
rice noodles with a little bit of chili more sap for the boy so this is just Thai omelette stuff
with minced pork right so I also ordered some deep fried chicken Parcels for Finley so one of
my absolute favorite stir fries is actually mince pork with namly up which is Chinese black olive
sounds like a very random dish if you've not had this before but it's really famous in late
night called Dom shops and Chinese stir-fry shops where everyone's had a few beers and let's come
with again the same gummy eggs some limes some cashew nuts shallots and coriander alright so
first impressions guys this is absolutely insane um not what I'm used to seeing from hotel food
usually Wholesale Food leaves a little bit to be desired aesthetically spot on I love the decor I
love the whole place actually I love the whole place because it's it's nice but it's casual so
it's like you're not feeling uncomfortable I feel a little bit uncomfortable when I get in
like hyper up Market high-end restaurants this is classy but understated it's it's quite funky but
also a little bit traditional somewhere I would take my mother-in-law when she comes over take
some family or take some friends that don't really want to be out on the streets eating
street food but Decor aside what does the food taste like let's dig in all right so Nam Jim ciao
all right guys the Cornwall young that is 10 times better than I expected
as you saw in a close-up perfect perfect fat it's a lean meat ratio it's been
it's been marinated but it's subtle very very good the namjim gel
pretty spicy um again wasn't expecting that usually Hotel food for me a little bit Bland I
know this is still a stand-alone restaurant people come in from the street to eat here but yeah
um spicy very very salty
tightness from the tamarind and a fish sauce not too sweet at all oh really really Savory the thing
I love most about it though is that crispy gratium GL texture flavor crunch now I'm gonna go in with
a Pala now I know a lot of you will have seen some of my videos and I don't really eat my life
you don't know what color is isan Northeast Thailand fermented fish also known as in Lao
and that's been pounded down with dried and fresh chillies and I believe a little bit of lime juice
hmm
no lime juice just a fermented fish and chilies yeah there's fresh chilies and dried chilies in
there fermented fish very very savory it's the least offensive I've ever had I think they could
actually get me eating Bala that is incredible I'm actually going to use some of the herbs though
and I'm gonna wrap that because it is very salty I'm going to wrap that in there leaf
um well I'm gonna have to ask the chef where they get their Pala because that is a that could have
converted me all right I'm gonna get some of this I'm gonna get some of the rice noodles
and one of the eggs I've never had this dish with eggs before but I do love climatum
all right prawn look how thick and rich as Beetle leaves Hard One to explain the
taste if you've never had them before but I will try look at that rich thick creamy
on half of that's the thickness of this is coming from all that fresh crab meat
usually this Curry's really yellow so this is a different type so that I'm
usually this Curry is really yellow usually this Curry is really yellow so this is a different type
than I'm used to oh yes usually very very spicy I'm not sure it's gonna be that spicy in here
always spicy it's very very spicy that is absolutely delicious as I said very very hot very
very spicy you've got the sort of bitter sweet I'll tell you it's coming from the beetle Leaf
The Bachelor ball it's not actually a beetle Leaf actually it's a pie par wild Piper leaf
I'll stick the actual Latin name at the bottom of the screen nice bit of sweetness coming from that
fresh crab meat [Music] this takes me back to wanjan restaurant and two cup cow in phuketown
no it's absolutely fantastic let me try a prawn [Music]
that's a well-treated prawn no pipe left in that that's been cleaned next
I'm going to go in with the the fermented sausage and the cow slip creeper flowers
look at the Chara nut Char on the eggs nice bit of chili going through there
a little bit of that fermented sausage and I'm also gonna get
a bit of the breaded fermented sausage [Music] yeah again
trying to explain these two if you've never had them before
they're more for texture and Aesthetics really they look really nice especially in salads or
something like this where it's like a sort of the lightly fried noodle dish they look really
good they've got a slightly bitter citrusy notes in them then you've got that real
real sour hit coming from the sour fermented sausage if you haven't tried this before
the sausage I mean I would implore you to this is um for asthma coming one of my favorite things in
Thailand these are really interesting the fact you've got them deep fried as well
um I think that's even better
very very simple we've just got garlic soy sauce loads and loads of egg a lot of the flavors coming
from the sourness from the sausage and from the Char because I'm guessing they're cooking
over pretty high heat back there because there's some real real char on the egg and the noodles
the noodles only clumps together and sticky which you get kind of you can get
with pad wounds and sometimes glass noodles can be difficult to cook right
again very impressed with this all right and last up we got the cow pad
namlia morsap the fried rice with Chinese black salted Olive and minced pork [Music]
oh yeah now if you haven't heard of this dish before with the
Chinese salted Olive it's just like a Savory explosion [Music]
usually I have it usually I have it just mince pork and the olives and then rice on the sideways
this is all stir-fry together again with egg so I'm definitely getting my protein intake
what a day again they must have a really high
heat Walkman out the back because this again has been charred perfectly I've eaten some
really good fried rice recently as you've seen in my other videos so probably a little unfair
I love the Chinese Olive the savoriness of it it's a little bit sweeter than say like a like
a Kalamata olive that we're used to in the west but still got that real Savory kit goes perfectly
well with the sort of fatty crisped up fried mince pork and I love the addition of these little bits
on the side the cashew nut for texture that lime for a little bit of a acidity and that gummy gummy
all right so even for me I think I've overall although I've eaten most of it
um this is my favorite definitely the the bitter ball because this is just my favorite Curry anyway
um it's just got everything I want from my Curry let's go
a lot of heat it's a little bit sweet it's a little bit sour a little bit tart it's
got a fresh seafood giving it a little bit more sweetness got a bitterness from the leaves and I
just love the way it's got the broken pieces of crab all through the curry so for me that would
be the top dish the wounds and paduation with the name as well with a fermented sausage really
really good I absolutely love the eggs and I'm actually so so excited that I'm now eating Bala
all right so I think this is all about uh about Helen's massive I'm absolutely wrote it off
that's so good it feels like a spicy but spiciness I can
handle nice Finley thumbs up or thumbs down yeah
but thumbs up thumbs down yeah thumbs up and thumbs down
his tummy hurts your tummy hurts that's not the rice that's not dude that's not their fault is it
okay [Music] look I'm gonna tell you now that looks like a good omelette to me
so for me I think it's good value the food obviously it's more expensive than
you're gonna pay out on the street but it's comparable to just like a
you know like a poor Channel like a Thai Chinese Seafood stir fryer joint that you'd
go to after on like a night out you know or before a night out um yes I'll tell you 250 a
dish some dishes are better value than others they got to like I think the curry was like
350 maybe 450 but you get that in this set and again the price comes down but overall
really really happy with the food there was nothing I didn't like actually Helen loved hers
ate his ate his omelette after eating consistently the whole day so that's probably saying something
good as well yeah like the whole vibe in the place as I said before nice understated but smart clean
somewhere to come if you want somewhere more you know Market than just hitting the streets or going
to like a shopping mall or something like that but still not like stuffy and uncomfortable for me I
know a lot of you like five-star restaurants but I find them to be a little bit uncomfortable so
yeah I would say a great place to come for a business lunch grab a quick buy dinner with
the family bring the in-laws any of that sort of good stuff and uh this could be your place
