something that connects us all is food food and more food today
we take you to the famous chinatown in bangkok where are we right now chinatown is on some other
level finding unique authentic and delicious street food we just want to try the craziest
things get ready for lights traditional treats and even some bugs i guess do it for the vlog
we are headed to chinatown today which is in yaowarat road
and i think we've picked the perfect time to arrive we're making our way from the station now
to chinatown we haven't even got there yet and it is it is already absolutely crazy there's like mad
atmosphere pretty much it's chaos hustle and bustle like we're definitely in the right place so
it's saturday afternoon we heard that this is the perfect time to go obviously everybody comes out
and we wanted to kind of get the full experience when it's super crowded super busy today is just
going to be a day full of eating traveling experiencing new flavors new spice anything
we can find we were discussing on the train that we've actually never been to a china town that's
like this so this is going to be so exciting to to experience this and just we just want to try
the craziest things and hopefully we can show you some things that you've never seen before
we have just arrived in the heart of chinatown and it is absolutely mental it is so busy and
these streets are so packed with people with stores things cars cars motorbikes it is insane
you gotta get run
there are so many things you can buy absolutely anything you can think of toys food masks
and also this is our first time in chinatown so it's completely like a new fresh experience for us
it's a little bit overwhelming just to have so much going on our goal for today was we just
wanted to get stuck in we just said let's just get in the middle of it let's see whatever we can find
so we're just on one of the craziest streets now i think this is like the main street food place
we are so funny the first thing that we do is spot the dessert so i think we're gonna have to try
the dessert first and then some other snacks later so if you come to thailand mango sticky rice
is the utmost highly highly recommended dessert and we're gonna try that first
so this is one of the most popular dishes that people have in thailand and we saw it
and we just couldn't resist we've had it many times so it is some sticky rice with mixed with
coconut milk and there's some soy beans on top and then you have it with the mango it
is normally very sweet oh the perfect bite the perfect big bite wow let's see what happens
oh i'm jealous i always love this because having rice with fruits is not what we normally eat
especially sticky rice especially sticky rice so i just love the mix of flavors and obviously
the coconut milk is so sweet this is a good start to today wow can you feed me some it's a big bite
how good it is holy moly
my mouth is doing a happy dance and it was 100 baht
which is quite cheap for mango sticky rice because the mango she gave us like a full big mango devin
is completely lost he's eating just he's busy just leave me be i'm happy now happy place
we're actually going to keep this to take home with us let's go find something else to eat
i keep saying that bangkok is alive but my goodness chinatown is on some other level
you just get the serious amount of energy and you just want to eat everything just
the the smells and sounds when you're walking around here is kind of intoxicating it's so
busy everywhere you look you can just see this busyness and craziness of people
i love these so they actually swish it around
and they use soda and it becomes like a little ice lolly thank you
okay i feel like this is kind of turning into a dessert futura but we've got this these little
ice lollies and it's actually soda and the guy like twists it around and it becomes
little ice lollies how cool is that oh it's really cold as chef said we've kind of
ended up just having snacky things that we could find and if we see something cool we
just grabbed it nice to just have some snacks and chinatown is the perfect place to do it
okay here's our third dessert we're literally crazy but this is one of our favorite favorite
desserts we couldn't say no it is a thin prep called kanon it's got some cream and
a little bit of like chinese sweets on top it was 20 baht for four and i'm gonna give it a go
is it sweet it's really sweet but it's like a thin grip honestly this is just such a cool experience
i mean look where we are it is so crowded it is so busy and we can just buy so many unique things
just from these stalls on the side of the are you street yeah it's so good look at where we are
this is one of the craziest places i've ever been to coming to chinatown
is like stepping into another world i'm so happy we came here what an experience wow
what's up
do you want to try a bug should i try it no why not i guess do it for the vlog
this is the thing with making youtube videos is it kind of forces you to try different things
that go to places you would never go to lucky bugs i eat bugs who knew okay i'm gonna try it
let's go what do you want like a roach uh look good oh maybe there's too many legs
so it tastes like chicken it doesn't really taste like anything oh my goodness
these bamboo worms are right these live in bamboo their whole life
so they're quite rich and buttery so yeah they live within a piece of bamboo these are all right
okay yeah well we'll take it away you're encouraging oh my god what about it
oh she's giving us so many quite a way to end this evening wow this is not what i thought
i would be doing can we see what you've got for dinner oh i can't believe you're doing this we've
got to get in your protein we're not actually sure what this is called so please can some of
our thai viewers put in the comments below what the name of this is please tell me what i'm about

kind of salty kind of very dry kind of salty kind of like chips oh are you kidding some french fries
very salty you want some no thanks i'm good you're happy right now i'm good
the kind of taste sandy woody like they're just off the tree oh yeah just kind of straight out
the tree look at it just just kind of mix them up a bit not bad so the last thing we're gonna
try is a deep fried shrimp roll and it's actually rolled up before and she cuts it up into little
bite-sized pieces and deep fries them in some hot oil looks so good better than my worms better than
the ones i'm actually so happy chef is getting this because the taste of worms in my mouth
it's really bad so i'm happy she's ordering something i'm definitely gonna try it
it is about 7 7 30 right now so we came here around 4 p.m yeah we've spent about three three
and a half hours just walking around our legs are so tired but there is just so much to see yeah
so we recommend coming mid-afternoon so you can see as much as we do like daytime and night time
i'm so sorry about the noise that you're about to hear but i'm
right next to the busy street and i've just got my deep fried
rolled shrimp and i'm gonna try it it was freshly fried just for me so i'm gonna give it a little go
look at that it's so good and i've got a little sweet dipping sauce as well
i've dipped it in the sauce
i'm impressed it's like shredded shrimp with a sweet like orange tangerine sauce
and this was just 70 baht this is i think my favorite thing of the night
this will be perfect to get the taste of worms like my mouth
wow
what a day we have had i can't even describe to you what this feeling is like being
completely immersed in bangkok's chinatown the food we have had has been absolutely unreal just
