chiang mai is known for incredibly delicious food
so today we are going to try some traditional northern style food here in chiang mai thailand
now it's time for something better
so today we have driven just 13 minutes away from the center of chiang mai and we are going
to give you the perfect northern thai style food experience we have come to rimping boat noodles
and this is the place you're going to want to be if you're wanting to get the full local experience
of northern thai style food so we've just sat down now and we're actually overlooking the beautiful
ping river of chiang mai and the name of this restaurant actually translates to hanging legs
which is exactly what we're going to do now we're hanging our legs while we're going to
eat some boat noodles overlooking the ping river and i think this is honestly the perfect place
to have some traditional northern style food there's so much to choose from and honestly
everything is so cheap you can order a variety of things which is exactly what we're gonna do
and you can order a small size or a big size but to be honest
the idea is to order smaller portions of everything so you can try as much as you can
so all our food has arrived and the most amazing part about this place is that all the dishes are
so cheap it's actually crazy nothing is more than 40 baht each so everything is in kind of like a
tapas bowl size yes literally you can get a dish as cheap as 10 or 15 baht
and that's kind of the whole point is you want a dish that's this small so you can try
everything so we've ordered two lemon teas we've ordered a northern style
mixed meat dish with a tomato sauce and it comes with some vegetables and some boiled eggs as well
we've ordered a pork curry which is absolutely delicious and also northern thai style sausage
which is called saiwa we've ordered our favorite northern style dish which is cow soy and we've
also ordered some egg noodles with beef and that is the typical northern style boat noodles
so we're going to try our first dish and i think devin's already going for the full
curry this looks so good it's kind of a thick curry but it looks sweet it doesn't look very
spicy yeah it's definitely got like a more like indian or maybe even a burmese style influence
that the curry in the north is actually more thick and maybe in the south it's a bit more
like thinner curry maybe a little bit more like soup so i'm going to try the perfect bite of pork
somewhat like the curry sauce and then the ginger as well
that looks really good i want to try some okay
i had to like pretty much snatch it out of his hands okay my turn
the meat is so soft it just crumbles in your mouth good way to stop it's absolutely
delicious it's like the perfect way to start i think this is my favorite dish and this is the
minced pork with tomato paste and then it's got all the little vegetables around it like
pickled vegetables and you actually have to chase it like with with the vegetable
basically the idea is you have to have some of the meat
with the vegetable of your choice so i chose the cucumber with a bit of spicy pork on top
it's like
spicy tomato a bit of green onion
i like that there are different things to try with it yeah so as chef said as a chaser
you can have a different taste depending on what you're if you're mixing it with the egg
or if you're mixing it with the cucumber it has a different taste in your mouth they've
even got some like pickled cabbage and some pork rinds as well so it's time to try the sidewa
and the whole idea with this northern style sausage is all the herbs are actually inside
it is so good that looks so good there are so many flavors inside every bite so now it's time to try
probably the dish that this place is famous for is the boat noodles so we've got some
egg noodles and then there's the beef balls as well in like a broth i'm so excited for this
this is something i haven't tried last time we were here so let's see
wow it's a little bit spicy the egg noodles that have been sitting in this broth
have such a garlicky taste it is so good this is one of my favorites
and next up on the list is our favorite northern style dish which is khao
soi and that is egg noodles with beef in like a coconut curry and it is honestly our go-to meal
here in chiang mai this is the best best place if you're looking for the perfect khao soi you
have to come to chiang mai okay so we're gonna try it and the first thing that we have to do is
put all the garnish in which is the shallots and the pickled vegetables and a bit of lime
this is always my favorite you gotta get a bit of everything a bit of the
veg a bit of the shallots the beef and the noodles
this is the problem when we're both lefties
one person always gets stabbed in the eye oh i'm sorry it's mostly devin that
gets stabbed in the eye i never got them stabbed in the air okay you have to eat
um
you can each
finish sharing i'm done sharing
i think devon's spice tolerance has improved ever since he's moved to thailand
i'm not sure because i'm suffering maybe that's not true well you were holding it together very
well so it's not actually not that spicy actually in the north the food is less spicy than it is in
the south so you should actually be better i should be better here so if we go to the south
again which we might in the future was that a spoiler intent maybe yes if you want us to go
to the south let us know in the comments below okay we're gonna do a spicy tomato challenge
are still going it's too good
spicy this is not too spicy this i'm okay with your face is red i think we're just so lucky
to be here in thailand and especially here in chiang mai we absolutely love being here
and we get to sit right now looking over the river we get to see long tail boats enjoy some
traditional food that we don't normally get in our home country and the people are always so kind
and friendly so we're just so grateful i think when you're sitting across the river you kind of
have all these feelings about how lucky you are and it's just amazing where we are i think i'm
speaking for both of us in saying we are so happy to be here we just feel so lucky with the best
food and the best people and this is the best part about travelling even though we're not actually
traveling around a lot right now this still makes us feel like we can try something new every day
