a couple of weeks ago i tried durian
in bangkok thailand for the very first time
and i kind of liked it
i also really like mango sticky rice
and i heard that they can put the two things together
to make durian sticky rice
so we're here at my favorite mango sticky rice shop
in bangkok thailand
and i'm going to go try some for myself
okay so i've just ordered a durian sticky rice
i think it's 150 baht
and i'm not exactly sure what we were just saying
i think he was asking if i wanted a plate
so we'll find out in just a moment
this is so cool
like it totally wasn't open last time we were here
we're sitting right on the street
like in downtown bangkok
this is so cool
it's such a good vibe
there are mango sellers either side of us
and i'm so excited to try this durian sticky rice for the very first time
there were no seats at Kor Panich last time we were here
so we actually ate right over the road
there was a woman selling some street food
and we bought a water from her
she was so nice
and we just sat down and ate our mango sticky rice over there
if you haven't already seen that video
make sure you check it out
it's one of my favorite videos we've ever made
to be honest it's not exactly what i was expecting
i thought it was going to come out on a bowl or a plate
and i've got the bowl
there's durian on top
and there's so much liquid in here
i think it might be the coconut drizzle that you normally put on mango sticky rice
which is like amazing
i can already smell the classic durian smell
the smell that always gets it banned from the trains
and like hotels and things around bangkok thailand
and other places too
oh i didn't know it was served hot
i always have like kind of cold sticky rice
wow interesting
i'm just going to try it now
so like my spoon goes straight through the durian
it's really soft
yeah there's lots of beautiful looking sticky rice right at the bottom
there like look at that
ah let's try a bite
that was really good
i don't even know how to describe it
it's like it's like more savory than i was expecting
it's got this beautiful coconut drizzle all over
it and it really offsets the more sort of savory taste of the durian
i'm gonna try some more
that's so good
like i've honestly never tasted anything like this
i genuinely think durian gets such a bad rep
just because of the smell
like this is actually really really nice
all the flavors work really really well together
and the durian's kind of hard on the outside
and soft on the inside
it's really good
another thing about this place
is it's really famous for the quality of its ingredients
the rice comes all the way from chiang rai
which is like northern thailand
you can really tell it's something special
it's not like your basic sticky rice
even though basic sticky rice is really good
this one is just so nice
it's so soft and like kind of chewy
and it just takes in all the flavor
one of the things that's really interesting is the texture of the durian
so you can probably see it here
but like when i peel the outer layer of the durian back
it's really soft on the inside
the outside is a bit more firm and like a little bit more stringy
but it's all really good
though the inside's my favorite
so when we visited Kor Panich a few months ago
i actually really wanted to try this
but durian is only in season for a few months of the year
so if you want to try it yourself
i think it's between may and september
that's when you can come and try it
and it's really good
i completely recommend it
i guarantee you won't have had anything like this before
and while we're here
i have to tell you about the dangers of durian
i feel like not everyone knows this
and it's really important to know
if you want to try durian make sure that you are not drinking alcohol
it literally like turns to poison in your body
eating durian can actually kill you
seriously don't drink and eat durian
and another thing as well
don't drink coffee and have durian either
it makes your blood pressure go sky high
just enjoy the durian by itself
or with sticky rice
and coconut drizzle
it's amazing
now this is one of the most popular mango sticky rice spots in all of bangkok
it's like 10 30 a.m right now
as you can see there are already like a lot of people behind me
there are like delivery drivers showing up collecting mango sticky rice orders
like it's genuinely so popular
that this place opens at 7 00 a.m every day except sunday
and it's usually pretty packed
i feel pretty happy right now
that we managed to get the seat outside
another awesome thing about Kor Panich is they're so generous with all of the flavors
i just lifted some of the durian back
and i found like this mountain of like really thick coconut drizzle
like it's so good
i love the drizzle
and i'm just gonna eat it by itself
it's so good
Kor Panich
is famous for being a mango sticky rice destination
but if you want to try other stuff that's here too
we tried quite a lot of it last time
and there's some really incredible stuff here
there's like this thai custard with rice
which is so good
and if you want to try a little different take on mango sticky rice
they also have it served with dry fish
there's so many different things to choose from
and it all looks really good
seriously this place is amazing
so when you're visiting bangkok thailand
make sure you come down to Kor Panich and try some durian sticky rice
even if you're a bit nervous about trying durian for the first time
this is a really good place to start
i'll leave the google pin and all the details in the description below
so you can come and check it out for yourself

i'm gonna finish this one now
so i'll catch you guys in the next one
