Hey you guys, Phoebe here from Little Grey Box. Now Matt and I are in beautiful
Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand at the moment and today we are out on the
streets hunting down the very best food for you to try when you visit, let's go
So cafe culture is alive and well in Chiang Mai and there are lots of cool
little places like this spot, Baan Borijinda which we just happened upon as we were
walking past. Two iced coffees here cost us a hundred and seventy baht and they
had soy milk. The coffee is a hundred percent organic local northern Thailand
arabica so you get to taste a little bit of the local area.
This bright orange substance is Thai iced tea now it's made from a strongly
brewed Ceylon seal or locally grown Assam tea it's best served ice cold and it's
usually made with condensed milk so if you're vegan don't worry you can
probably get it made on coconut milk from somewhere else
We're at Mountain Coffee and these bad boys set us back 50 baht each
that's so refreshing
So one of my favourite things to do is to check out the local markets and they have all the
fresh produce and fruit and all that kind of stuff and it really gives you
sense what there is to eat
Beautiful fresh papaya you won't get anything better
The food in northern Thailand is no joke any ideas you have about Chicken Tonight or
Thai takeout just put them away because the food here is absolutely amazing and
it's totally different to what you find in Bangkok it's a little less spicy and
it relies heavily on regional produce because really we're in the middle of nowhere
You'll find no shortage of deep-fried goodies
there's a strong focus on pork here but don't worry if you're a herbivore like
me there are loads of vegan and vegetarian options
Now must try dishes when you're in Chiang Mai include things like spring rolls of course but
also your pad thai, lots of curries, khao soi, papaya salads
fresh fruit and veggies, fruit shakes and everything else your tummy can dream of
This is a fruit shake and it's my favourite thing to drink when I'm in Thailand
especially in Chiang Mai. So what they do is take really, really nice ripe fresh fruit
this one's mango and they mix it with sometimes a little bit of sugar
bottled water, ice, blend it all up it's super cold and refreshing this one
was 60 baht and it's amazing
Here we have a delicious fresh pad thai that most famous of thai foods
and one of my personal favourites made with soak dried rice noodles
stir fried eggs, tofu, flavoured with tamarind pulp, garlic, shallots, red chilli pepper and palm sugar
you can get on the streets fairly cheap this one cost us 65 baht
over here we've got a beautiful fresh papaya salad so this one's made
from unripe papaya, so it's young papaya which means its a little bit crunchy, shredded
and it hits all those iconic thai flavours and of course you know we've gotta have
those spring rolls on my goodness these are vegetarian ones deep fried to
perfection with a sweet chili sauce yes now these two were 70 baht each
This is one of my favourite things to eat in Thailand it is mango sticky rice
beautiful fresh mango, oh my goodness, served with delicious sticky rice and coconut dressing over the top
it has sort of a Pandan flavour and it is so lovely. Now look if you are used to tucking into a big
piece of chocolate cake and this kinda thing might put you off but guys it is
so delicious and it really hits the spot it's my sister's favourite thing to eat
she loves it and I love it too. It's just a great dessert like it's sweet but you
don't feel sick
So we got ours from a place called Manna Sticky Rice which is outside the At Chiang Mai Hotel
50 baht a plate... what a bargain
This is the signature bunny ice-cream from Coco Corner it was 69 baht and it is
absolutely adorable I don't really want to eat it look at that face
it tastes good too, it doesn't just look cute
We are standing across the road from one about favourite places to eat in Chiang Mai
it's just a street food stall and they sell amazing roti. If you haven't had roti before its like
flaky kind of a flatbread. Most the time that I eat it it's usually savoury and served with some kind
of a vegetarian curry but this late at night, in Chiang Mai, I like it smothered
in Nutella...ohhhh yeah
this is one of Matt's favourite things to eat actually - I'll just have one
- Just one today usually by the time i'm eating one
he's already up ordering a second it's that good
ohhh...
mmmy gawd!
Up yours Weight Watchers
This is what life is about I dream of the roti shack
That's not it's name by the way, I just call it the roti shack
Yes
We're at vegan spot Reform Kafe in Chiang Mai and this looks amazing
these are the breast...
I just said breast
these are the best spring rolls I have...
...ever seen
look at them normally spring rolls have that kind of guilty look to them
now these cost a bit more they are 120 baht usually we pay about 80-70 baht
They are so flavoursome so this place is fully vegan
no MSG, everything is fresh, healthy all that kind of stuff
yum, I live for it
This is Khaoi Soi, so if you come to northern Thailand this is what it's all about, we've got
some crunching noodles on top this is like a coconut milk sauce and inside there
are more noodles now we're at a vegan spot so this is a vegan version so don't
worry, if you are vegetarian/vegan you can still eat it otherwise it's usually served with meat inside
yum, yum, yum if you're a carnivore
yum
