let's try this to find out why they have been
mentioned in the Michelin Guide four years straight
today we are exploring Yaowarat which is Bangkok's Chinatown
this is a must visit place for any food lovers out there because these streets
are lined with amazing cheap delicious street food there's grilled meats braised
meats noodles there's just so much to choose from so good thing we came hungry let's go eat
so we didn't really do much research about which place to go eat at because we just
assumed there was tons of food but if you see a lineup then most likely it is something good
that's a good sign there look Michelin Guide 2020 oh four years in a row 18 19 20 2021
i think we should do this one we should try this one you know what it is
i don't know it's the roll noodles in Chinese herbal broth in Thai yeah in Thai it's called
kway chap at first it doesn't seem like there are seatings but they're setting up tables now
right on i think it's because we're still early it's uh only around 4 30.
and it's pretty easy to find this place if you're coming to Chinatown because there
are lots of big bright red lanterns just right next to this noodle place
let's try this to find out why they have been mentioned in the Michelin Guide four years
straight so it's pretty much just roll noodles uh rice noodles and the rest are crispy pork boiled
egg pork intestine pork liver pork stomach and pork heart oh really yes all the delicious stuff
i think the broth is the highlight of this place because
it looks like just like a clear broth like nothing much to it but it's super super peppery
oh it's very flavorful you don't even need to add anything in here
unless you like it more spicy you would add the chili but for me this is perfect
would you like my heart
Flora just gave me a piece of her heart
can't say no to that
this place is obviously a local favorite because it is packed with people and it's not
a comfortable place to sit but people don't care because the food is delicious this is part of the
fun of being in Chinatown you eat quickly and you move to the next stall and try different things
i have to say though i really like the atmosphere
here like it's just full of activity the cars the people the vendors yelling at each other
before we got here i was telling myself that i need to pace myself because there will be a lot
of food the Michelin lured us in didn't it we better get the bill babe look at all the lineup
so that place was called Kway Chap Uan Photchana
so delicious you need to come here we spent 200 baht for three bowls because
the regular bowl is 50 baht but we added egg so an extra 10 baht
plus the lotus root drink another 20. very good off to the next one
look at the amount of squid they have to prepare to sell here piles and piles of squids
and i think this one here it's the lineup and there's like a lady over there writing down orders
you know how they make slurpee in Thailand just like this
i think that's uh ice with salt water and they keep shaking it and it doesn't look
slushy right now but when you open it it will turn into like a slushy coke
cool hey cool not just like a button thing from 7-eleven
here you go wow so first we have the pickles here cucumbers some chili some onion
and then we have the satay sauce which is the peanut sauce we have the pork satay skewers
and they give you bread grilled bread so you can dip this into the sauce i'm gonna go with
the the bread first be careful be careful you're wearing white you don't want that on your shirt
this sauce is perfect it's like
super creamy a little bit spicy not too sweet this is a really really good sauce
the pork is still really juicy is it fatty no it's like a lean cut but it's so thin and
they probably cook it really quickly so it's not dry it's really good the fatty bits at the end
that probably helps to keep it moist when they're cooking the proper way of eating pork satay is to
first just coat it with with peanut sauce like that and you want to eat the whole thing at once
and then right away chase it with pickle cucumber and onion and a little bit of chili
a chaser
is it the chili
i don't really see a lot of places serving satay pork
with bread but it's such a good idea as you said use it to soak up all the peanut sauce
just the bread and the peanut sauce alone it's like so delicious so the satay pork
is only 8 Baht each so i ordered 10 that's equal to 80 and extra 10 Baht for the bread
bread bread
the ultimate satay experience
so we've been in Bangkok for a few days but a lot of the times we end up eating at the
mall which is a little more expensive and the food is not as good as what we can find
here on the street this is my kind of vibe eating street food endless options to choose
from and they're all very affordable and to be honest we don't enjoy eating like one huge meal
so this allows us to snack and keep trying new things and seeing and smelling it first
before we buy it this is perfect this is like street food heaven for us it is actually easier
than you think to get to Chinatown there is a subway station an MRT station called Wat Mangkon
which is right around Chinatown here so you can either take the subway or of course you
can hop on a taxi but Bangkok traffic is pretty bad so you might want to take the subway instead
it just started raining so we just popped over here for some traditional Thai dessert we ordered
three things because i couldn't decide just one thing first one is a black sesame ball with ginkgo
in ginger tea and that one is hot and then we have a cold one which is cantaloupe with
sago the last one is bird's nest in like a sweet broth with lotus root and snow fungus
and goji berries it doesn't sound very good when i say all these ingredients but i'm sure it tastes
really good let's try these oh my god it just started pouring
they are in the middle of their bike tour
this one is like a very traditional Chinese dessert actually
like a chewy dough and inside is black sesame
let's see the inside
it's actually quite delicious the thin skin with a lot of filling in there
it's good now good as new
i'm going to try this one i never had this before with the cantaloupe this is new
wow very i'm surprised you like that one because it's in like a coconut milk yum
but it's not creamy at all and it's not too sweet oh what what do you call this again
yeah your mom told me that i shouldn't eat more than 12 gingko nuts a day because it can be
toxic is that true my mom said it of course it's true good thing we only have 11
in here so the best way to end your night here in Chinatown is to get some traditional Thai
Chinese dessert and come check out this place it's called Khun Anne Bird's Nest it was super
delicious and we only tried three of the desserts they have 15 other types of desserts to try
one more meal this place is famous for rice soup but they call it dry rice soup so i'm
a bit confused i want to try okay let's go try how can it be rice but dry we'll find out
we're getting the minced pork and marinated pork and pork ribs rice soup dry rice soup yeah
i probably explained it and we're getting the oyster one okay one oyster
the rice actually doesn't look that wet it's the rice soup no it's the rice in the rice soup but
they don't include the soup in the bowl and then the soup is in this bowl yeah they separate the
broth and then there's some dipping sauce here interesting so it has pork ribs braised pork
and minced pork
wow there's a lot of crispy garlic in there that makes it so good
what is the sauce sour chili sauce which is perfect because it's a bit fatty right
because it's a bit sweet at the moment with a little bit of sourness
oh what is this one this one is the oyster dry rice soup it looks really good and there's like
egg in it egg and green onions in it too let me try this one put some spicy sauce
is the oyster one the famous one here yeah
i'm not sure because the oyster
is raw it's literally just popped in my mouth i think it's raw does it taste good though
it tastes good but i'm a bit scared
we usually don't eat oysters here in Thailand but this place is famous for it
we thought we would give it a try here we go
makes you nervous a little bit i know what you mean like like i know they kind of parboil it
but it basically is raw inside so it gives you that sea water taste
the rice is good i'm not sure about the oyster i'm gonna stick with the pork
because you know what they say about one bad oyster dead
as it gets later in the night Chinatown just gets busier and livelier so if you come to Bangkok
make sure to come to Chinatown for some delicious amazing street food thank you so much for watching
hope you enjoyed our little food tour today we'll see you on the next one don't forget to subscribe
i was staring at the prawns i didn't know the fire was coming
so you'll know you're in Chinatown when you see tons of street food
and a lot of gold shops but it is a mystery to me why the gold shop over on that side has a huge
lineup that lineup is longer than the lineup that was going into the Gucci store today at Paragon
