- I feel a little bit like I'm at
an auto mechanic shop here,
but instead of coming here to get spare car parts,
you come here to get spare beef parts.
The amount of beef they have here, they have beef balls,
they have shank, they have definitely
some random, unknown beef parts.
The aroma and the steam that it's trapped
within this low roof is just, the aroma is amazing.
This is the type of sauna you want to have
when you're in Thailand,
this is what a Thai aroma therapy is all about.
(upbeat music)
Hey everyone, it's Mark Weins, I'm in Bangkok, Thailand
hanging out with my buddy Joel and Su right here.
For lunch today we're at just an amazing Thai restaurant
in Bangkok, the name of this restaurant is called
Neua Toon Tha Nam Sathu Pradit.
You gotta just check out the roofing,
look at the storage on the roof there.
So at this restaurant they are doing the cooking
at the corner of the restaurant
and then they just have tables
in the variety of shop houses,
you can choose the shop house you wanna sit at,
but then they also have tables, open air
under the very low ceiling.
What a fantastic dining environment.
Wow, if you're scared of, I'm like actually
my head is right at the top here.
Don't stand up too fast when you come to this restaurant.
The meat sauna that I'm experiencing right now
under this low ledge roof is just indescribable.
You can order just a single bowl,
like if you come here by yourself
you can order a single bowl of noodles
and you can either choose to get Neua toon,
which is braised beef, which is fall apart tender,
or you can get Neua sod, which is fresh beef
and she will assemble your bowl of noodles
just with absolute expertise,
but along with just a single bowl of noodles
you can also order a Mou Fi, which is a fire pot.
And that way you get a whole pot full,
it's a hot pot full of beef with all the fixings.
Do not touch your head on the power cords
that run at the top of this restaurant.
There's braised beef in here, there's beef nuggets in here,
there is beef meatballs, there's striped,
there's probably a number of other beef parts
in here as well and it just smells unbelievable.
You can see the curdles of blood.
When I was out there looking at the kitchen,
they also told me this is one of their signature dishes,
which is, it's fried pork skin.
This is almost like croutons.
So I think you could probably toss them
in your soup, but you have to eat it really fast,
because you wouldn't want them to get soggy,
or you can just eat them garnishing
as you're eating the soup.
- They have a name for it here
that I've never heard before, mukwai.
- Mukwai, the soup is not spicy at all.
And what you do is you can dish yourself
or actually since we're just eating friends
and we're eating together we're probably just gonna
use our chopsticks and go directly into that.
The master pot, the main pot and pick out pieces of beef,
but yeah it's not spicy or anything,
so what you do is you mix your own sauce.
I'm gonna go in for chilly flakes,
a good, a good couple of spoonages of that
and wow, I'm gonna go in for some vinegar,
vinegar, chilly vinegar and then
I'll probably add a little bit of fish sauce,
just to balance it off.
That is like a perfect, perfect dipping sauce.
We are ready to dig in man.
So actually, should we just taste that broth first?
Oh there's tendent in here as well,
oh look at that soup and there's also,
oh there's just like a, that's just pure meat parts.
Oh it's so beefy, comforting, the amount of beef in this.
That is the definition of mommy,
there are, there's that extra flavor in there for sure,
undoubtedly, oh that's so smooth and so beefy and salty.
Oh, oh, oh, time to dig into the beef.
I got to go and just get the.
- [Joel] Choose your first piece.
- The braised beef on the top here,
oh I'm gonna rehydrate it a little bit in that soup
and actually I might not even dip in the sauce,
I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna eat it.
Oh, oh, oh, oh that is so tender.
Oh that just melts in your mouth,
that is ridiculously good.
There's so much condensed beefy flavor.
And I'm gonna move in for some trike,
which is the next visible piece of meat on top here
and oh a curly piece of trike.
I think I'm gonna dip this into the sauce.
Oh that sauce, oh yeah.
Not so chewy, a little bit,
definitely a little bit of a rubbery texture,
but really, really good, it's delicious.
That sauce is just pure fire, dry chilly and really sour,
so I can probably add a little bit of fish sauce to it.
Let's go for a beef meatball next cause you're
definitely need to soak in the chilly for a little bit.
Oh man, one of the toughest things about eating meatballs
is that there's nothing for, yeah there's nowhere
to put the sauce to cling onto.
So you have to actually go in with your chopsticks,
grab some of that sauce and put it on top
to maximize your sauce on the meatball.
- [Joel] Coverage, your meatball, your sauce coverage.
- Oh yeah,
all the sponginess, oh they're bouncy, they're so bouncy,
you can definitely tell that these are 100% beef, all beef.
- The consistency is even all the way through, so,
the mouth feel is so nice, oh my god.
- And then what I like about them also is they are not
too smooth, they have a little bit of like texture to them.
So you need texture.
- Some flavor in there, that's one of the best
beef meatballs I have ever had.
- Next up let's try the, these are like pork skin croutons.
Really, really crispy on the outside,
they started to taste like melt, like butter on the inside.
I think what would be absolutely awesome
if you take your spoon and then you submerge your spoon,
just drown them out, oh, oh, oh,
this is gonna be an amazing bite.
Wow, it's like the best I have ever,
oh another fire pot has just arrived.
How many of Aussie they go through,
how many FDA servings of beef we have in front of us.
- 16, 18?
- While this thing is still boiling away, we gotta go in
and this is a little bit different,
so there's more blood in the soup.
Oh there's, oh, what is that, very gelatinous,
wiggly, that's exactly what I'm gonna eat.
I'm gonna dip this, oh, oh, oh.
Oh that is a big pice of wiggliness.
Oh it's so hot,
oh that's just dissolving on my tongue, oh wow,
whatever it is, it's just insanity.
- The tenderness is unbelievable.
- Okay, over here we have the noodles,
you can see how rich and oily and blood curdle that broth is
there's noodles on here, there's the braised beef.
And let's try this baby,
there's always some woning blurry in here as well.
Oh with the noodles it's amazing,
they just soak up all of that beef broth.
In this one you can really taste that the broth
is thickened from the blood.
Again, an amazing beef flavor.
We're gonna sit here and just dig through these
piles of beef, it is just so ridiculously good.
And this one I'm gonna put on my rice.
Guess I'll eat it all together.
Wow, and then taste it with some soup.
That's exquisite, that is unbelievable, masterful.
The beef flavor is just off the charts.
It's off the charts in here.
- Hey, they all like babies, hi, yeah hello.
I'd like to have a new friend.
- That beef went down so well, and it's gone,
so we did the only thing that was right to do
and we ordered one more entire pot, just to.
You can't, you can't, you actually can not stop.
(speaking foreign language)
Our grand finale, we got, which is braised beef,
100% braised beef.
- We handed him our order and he thought
we were asking for the bill, he looks, he goes, oh,
these guys are ordering three.
- I'm gonna ask him to redo it.
I don't think I can pick up anything better
in the world right now than a flaming,
boiling pot of braised beef.
You literally just wanna swim in this.
If it was, if it was cooled down,
I would, I really wouldn't be opposed
to taking a swim in this broth.
It's just perfection, it's absolute beef perfection.
That is as good as the first two fire pots.
Digging your chopsticks in here
is almost like going fishing
with a 100% success rate.
- [Joel] Oh dude look at this piece.
It's, it just looks like it's barely hanging on.
- It looks like scary almost,
look at that, the way the fat clings to the meet
and it just shakes on your chopsticks.
- [Joel] It really is living.
- It's like an organism, look at that,
that's like a bungee cord, ha, ha, ha.
Bye-bye, thank you, thank you.
We just finished with that meal,
that was one of those life changing meat experiences.
The beef was so incredibly good,
come here, you can either get the fire pot with beef,
or you can get just a plain bowl, well not very plain,
but delicious bowl of noodles and braised beef.
Everything they serve I think is just top notch
incredibly, insanely delicious
and I just absolutely love this environment.
This restaurant, they literally
looks like they have, they own about
four or five shop houses in a row.
And so you can actually eat indoors,
or you can get a table on the outside, which just
surrounds on kind of the outside, like balcony area.
Just remember not to stand up too hard
and when you're walking inside you gotta duck,
so that you don't hit your head on the concrete,
but the beef is just unbelievably good here
if you're looking for some amazing beef in Bangkok.
This is the restaurant you're not gonna want to miss.
Bye-bye.
