This morning, I'm very delighted to be here to try the food that i haven't tried before.
It's a local food from Chiangrai, and especially from Mae Sai (district).
It's called 'Khao Ram Fuen'.
It's staple food here.
We can call this 'Rice Jelly'.
They have different kinds of rice jelly here,
maybe made from peanuts, made from different kind of nuts.
And, they put this sauce made of tomatoes.
or they have another kind made from apple.
So, tomato soup and vegetables, sesame, and peanuts.
So, it's kind of vegetarian food.
Umm.
It's good. A little salty. Not too sweet.
You feel clean because it's vegetarian food.
'Khao Ram Fuen'
Dàjiā Hao! I'm now at Jin Lai Soon Restaurant which is a local restaurant just opposite Mae Sai District office.
This one is a very famous restaurant for locals.
And because Chiangrai is not far from Yunnan.
Apart from being close to Myanmar and Laos, it's not far from China.
And, we are influenced a lot by Yunnan food.
So, here I am today with this local Yunnan food.
This one is sun-dried beef. And, we normally eat this with rice.
with chopsticks too.
It's salty. Similar to Thai dried beef, but it's thinner.
In Yunnan, they used 'Tofu' in a lot of menus.
And this one. It's spicy Yunna Tofu Salad.
Also, we use chopsticks when we eat.
And, we eat together with rice.
It might be a little spicy.
It is spicy.
And I would like to recommend to you this chicken soup which you can find here.
It's herbal chicken soup with this special ingredient called 'Gao Gee' (Goji Berries) - these orange herbs.
And because it's soup, we put in a small bowl.
Chicken. Turnip. Gao Gee (Goji Berries).
'Herbal Chicken Soup' is a healing menu influenced by Chinese food.
It is used to treat a wide range of illnesses.
The special ingredients like Goji Berries and Snow Fungus help boost blood circulation and restore your energy.
In many parts of Chiangrai, local food is influenced by chinese food,
As the province is located not far Yunnan, Southern China.
A must-try menu is these 'Steamed Chinese Buns' or 'Mun Tow'' in local language,
that are usually served with braised pork legs with Chinese-styled herbs.
Moreover, some local people like the fried version of the buns as well.
I'm so happy to be here today to try this local food in Chiangrai.
It's 'Khao Soi Nam Ngiew'
Normally, if you come to Chiangmai, you'll eat normal 'Khao Soi', which normally, it's chicken with coconut milk.
But this one, 'Khao Soi Nam Ngiew', there's no coconut milk and it's pork.
Normally, you eat with this side dish. Pickles. Red onions.
And don't forget to make it a little more testy.
You have to squeeze the lime onto it before you eat.
Wow!
Alright!
Mm-hmm...
I love the bean sprouts.
Really good!
Hey...
Icecream in Thailand normally is made of coconuts.
So, I've just ordered this coconut icecream and also green tea ice cream.
It's famous here. but in Thailand a lot of
But in Thailand, there're a lot of toppings, the local style.
So, they have this 'Sarim' or the colourful little noodles here.
and...Corns...'Chao Kuay' (Black Jelly).
and some peanuts.
Alright. Let's test it!
Umm.. The green tea flavour, they mix some milk into it as well.
How about Coconut (flavour)?
I think I like coconut more!
I hope you enjoyed the trip. Stay tuned for the next episode.
