i was about to give my review on the beef but but it's hot it's hot
we just love khao soi it's actually one of our favorite dishes here in thailand so
we're so happy to be having it in bangkok with so many different flavors i mean i i
automatically feel like i'm back in chiang mai how do you think we did on our first stop
i am so happy that we started with the mural yeah because i absolutely love khao soi but this
it's gonna be hard to beat it's definitely gonna be hard to beat but i've got an unbelievable
eastern restaurant i've finished off that and plenty to do in between so don't eat too much
we got four more stops all right i'm so excited let's see our next stop let's go
wow that khao soi was delicious and it was just 60 baht which
you know blows my mind i mean the the food here is so so affordable
and we have to thank gary for his recommendation we're off to find our next thing on the list
all right
okay so gary's just brought us to try some what is that wontons basically would say in the west
they call them here okay so we're about to try some dumplings and i think we're going to try the
shrimp shrimp giant shrimp okay we're going to try some shrimp dumplings
and they're all about 50 baht so i'm already excited so good apparently she makes about 500
a day and this is what she's got left so really popular we've actually come to taste some giant
pork wontons they look so good and they're actually wrapping it in front of us right now
with some minced pork some prawn and some fresh deep fried garlic and i cannot wait to taste it
okay a whole prawn okay on a bed of minced pork wrapped up in a
wonsom wrapper and then covered it in soy and vinegar
deep-fried crispy garlic
mind blowing full of flavor
oh she delicious gave us another one to try so sweet okay so i'm going to take a little
bite the first one is the prawn one and i've got a little bit of some dried garlic on there
these are like my favorite
got garlic so good right oh that looks it's like a monster prawn
smells so good this one's so good it's very good i like this one a lot that's that's my favorite
christmas i think it's my favorite too
i want to show you guys we've definitely brought the right person with us he's actually brought
us now to a restaurant with southern food they're actually from songkla and if you didn't know this
we lived in song club for about six months and we're going to try some southern food very very
good but this is the dish that i want you to try oh what's it called hormone okay which is they
call it like fish custard but it's not it's a it's it's basically a steamed red curry it
sounds good and everything gary's given us so far has been delicious world class so let's try the
southern food we've had central we've had north and now we're going for south for all of this
about 55 baht wow all right so this is basically a dry fried curry looks delicious look at this
wow gary's got us the dried curry over some rice with a little fish cake so i'm having a
fish mousse curry which is like cooked in a banana leaf so looks really really good smells very good
it's a bit of a a new texture
i've never eaten this before but it tastes really good good bad no good
really good with an odd texture good with an odd texture that's what i would say it
is devin's trying the fish movement now i'm nervous of chev's reaction it looks really good
smells like a fish cake i think i actually like this more
do you think it's because no no i should have got caught by surprise with the you're not caught by
surprise you can actually enjoy it i think yeah i got to enjoy it because i knew what i was eating
you see dry southern curry dry 7k it looks spicy
it's not as spicy as i thought oh okay i was nervous you're very good with spices
after spice okay so it's my turn to taste this dry curry and you said it's not too spicy so
will i be okay that's a lot that's a big bite
oh my goodness it's very salty the spice comes later no this is good but better than the mousse
a little better than the mousse this is spicy i don't know how you did this because
i'm feeling it now i'm okay you can get all sorts of things in this market you could get
clothes not only food you could get souvenirs whatever you want and i think we've just come
for food that is full of flavor full of spice everything that you would look for in a thai
market and the best part about it is that it's super super local i'm actually just down this
side alleyway and i would highly highly recommend coming to this side of bangkok
because normally a lot of people or maybe a lot of tourists don't come here so if you want the
local experience this is the place to be you're one and this is going to be showing off uh north
east but down the mekong river right you've got to crack the egg quickly because otherwise it
continues to cook right so we need to crack the egg quickly and we've got like an eggy porky
what's really interesting about this is the type of noodles you use so it's uh they're tapioca and
rice starch noodles when you pull them the starch comes off and it kind of thickens up the soup 0:12:36.560,1193:02:47.295 so different soups not
like a sort available
for one of a better phrase like french onion kind of vibe going on but and just tell us
quick about the egg why you had to crack it quickly oh so i cracked it so quickly
because i don't i wanna i want the egg yolk to sort of go through the soup if you leave
it in the soup the soup's so hot it just continues to cook and you end up with a hard
boiled egg so if you like hard-boiled eggs just leave it in there
now we couldn't have explained that any better so i'm so happy that we have gary with us because he
is the perfect foodie food guru that we could bring with us because we would have not said
any of that to you we would have just said it's absolutely delicious but he has given us the full
explanation and we really appreciate that i really appreciate you guys coming with me we're about to
try the vietnamese style pork soup and this is our first time trying it so let's try the soup first
is it good it's so good okay let me have a go kind of get a onion pepper kind of
hits you at the back of the throat oh oh it's like it's like an explosion of flavor
one of my favorite dishes so thank you for recommending it because you can taste the
chili the vinegar wow absolutely delicious i think this is a 10 out of 10. that soup was absolutely
delicious we've been so spoiled with having gary take us around on this really cool street food
tour so now he said we're gonna take a bit of a break let's have a coffee together and then i
think we're gonna get some desserts or something oh yes i think i've been looking forward to this
all day first of all a coffee i need a coffee right now so this is the cafe that we're about to
have a coffee at and it is right on the river look at this the view of this coffee shop is stunning
it's right on the river we can see what our roon we can see so many boats going by wow what
a future we are having today we are so so lucky to be here in thailand and to be here in bangkok
that was such a nice coffee very very very needed because today is really hot but now it is dessert
time gary just told us that he has a specific and a very special place that he wants to take us to
so this will be our last thing that we will try today and again gary has just been so kind to us
so sweet you're just saying that because he's there i didn't actually know he was
gary has been so nice just a little we were just saying some things about you just a few
things yeah but only good things because you were here do you have a dessert in mind right
i have a very good dessert take a seat
wow look at this what have you got there i have no idea okay so we've just been given this
really really cute dessert with these lovely ladies behind us who
don't want to charge us any money which is amazing at the top you've got coconut cream
and at the bottom it's like a pandan and it's kind of like a salted caramel so if you look at it here
look at that i mean this looks absolutely adorable but also so so delicious i'm gonna give it a go
oh my
it's just snack in a bowl basically nice
so good sweet that sweet bottom salty top kind of strange to have like the sweet and kind of
salty at the same time yeah it's something they really really like here so when you get mango
sticky rice rinses you've got the sweet rice sweet mango salty coconut sauce to go on the top side
military style operation he's doing the batter now so these guys sell hundreds
of these a day if not thousands all right so he's got sesame last on the list is what they
call in thailand a broke snack it's only 15 baht and it's literally like a pancake slash
waffle pastry on the outside but on the inside it's got shredded coconut some sesame seeds
and this is honestly the perfect way to end up a little food tour so i'm gonna take a little bite
wow this is one of the best things i've ever had the sesame seeds oh my gosh
so what's this dessert called
so it means broke snack like dang is uh change
yeah traditionally it would have been a lot cheaper even than 15 by it would have
been like three bucks so it's like devin said just get rid of your change at the end of the
day and it's uh what's amazing is we could see them making it making the crap really
really matter the batter putting the coconut in the sesame seeds see if you can say sesame seed
this is a perfect way for us to end off this video gary thank you so much
