There are a lot of local food menus here in Pattaya.
I'm going to show you some of the best ones.
Since I was a kid, I always dropped by here when it came to Pattaya because this is a Must-Eat menu.
I mean 'Chicken Noodles'.
Nowadays, there are more than one type of chicken noodles.
This is dry Chicken Noodles. And they also have chicken noodles with soup.
And chicken noodles with my spicy soup or Tom Yum soup.
And, they normally put this sugar and fried peanuts on.
The type of noodles they use is this small rice noodle.
It's the original type of noodles they use.
And for Thai people, we usually have four types of seasonings that we usually put on before we eat noodles.
This sugar.
OK. Already sweet.
And if you like the spiciness like me, put some chili on. This is dry chilli. Ooh!!
And then, fish sauce. Thai people love fish sauce.
And some vinegar, if you like.
Alright.
And there's also some side dish which are bean sprouts and lime.
School children in Thailand learn to grow bean sprouts while they're in elementary school.
So, it's normal to put some bean sprouts on.
And don't forget lime because the sourness from lime will make the noodles taste much better.
Believe me. Believe me.
And then stir it a bit.
Now. Enjoy your food!
Always Great!
And here is one of the most famous Thai dessert - Mango & Sticky Rice! Ooh...
I like way to decorate the dish.
They use fresh orchid and they put some nuts onto the sticky rice.
But before you eat, don't forget the coconut milk... yeah!
For dinner today, I'm going to show you very local Thai food in Pattaya, at Ja Toi Restaurant.
Because my friends just told me that, at this place, they have very nice local food.
So, the first menu that we should order is this one. They call it 'Local Spicy Soup with Fish'.
And, they use Rew Sew Fish which is sea water fish.
And they've put a lot of herbs in the soup - chili, egg plants, and basils, bamboo shoot.
And, I think I have to warn you that this one should be spicy because it's very local Thai soup made by locals here in Pattaya.
Another menu that you must try is this one. It's quite popular nationwide, especially for towns near the sea.
This is called 'Steamed Squid with Lime'.
And, it's not only with lime because you can see a lot of chilis.
And, they put some celery onto it.
So, the taste is a mixture of sourness and spiciness.
But normally, it's quite spicy. So, be careful.
And, you can see some liquid comes off.
This is a kind of soup. Very nice and very hot, so you got to eat it hot.
And of course, for Thai way of eating, we eat everything with rice.
So, we have Jasmine rice here. So, put a little bit of rice.
Alright. It's time for dinner. Enjoy your food.
I'll enjoy mine.
Let's start with this.
(Sound from eating spicy food) I'm sweating already.
Oh....the spiciness is at a very high level.
This is a local recipe! Alright.
Very nice! In Thai, people say 'Sabb'. That means 'Delicious and Spicy'.
Hey! Care. Thank you so much for bringing me here today.
You are welcome. My pleasure.
The atmosphere is very good. very nice at sunset, huh?
Yeah! It's good to bring you here because I want everyone to see...and I want you to see that
it is just 20 minutes from Pattaya.
From there. From the downtown.
Just 20 minutes away.
How do you call the beach?
Sai Thong Beach (Golden Sand Beach).
Yeah. You see the sunset. You see the beach. Everyone will just relax. It's quiet and perfect.
What is the name of the place?
This is The Glass House.
And we're having seafood today!
Yeah! This is what I've been talking about.
I think I love this one. Everytime I come to seaside towns, I normally order this one.
It's Crab Legs, right? Steamed Crab Legs?
Yeah!
And this is spicy seafood sauce.
They put chili...
Chilli, Garlic, Fish Sauce, Lime too...yeah.
So...spicy. But, Thai people, we love it.
And foreigners also, not only Thais.
Yeah...
And this one...Sea Bass? Fried Sea Bass.
And, you have 2 kinds of sauce - sweet one and spicy one.
This is sweet fish sauce....and the spicy seafood sauce.
Alright. I'm hungry. Let's have it!
Lady First?
Oh Yeah!!
OK!!! Thank you! (Laugh).
We use hands, right? No need for spoons and forks.
How was it?
Spicy!!!
(Laugh). Yeah, I love spiciness!
Bonjour! (Hello in French).
Next to Woodland Resort at Na Klue, there is a really nice place for breakfast, La Baguette.
When you enter here, it is just like you are sitting in a cafe in Paris
because the decoration is so nice. It's in French style.
with comfortable settings like this.
I really love their furnitures - sofas, tables and chairs. Really nice!
And when you come here in the morning you shouldn't miss ordering these menus.
The Must-Eat menu is this croissant. There are 3 types of croissant.
This is plain croissant. You can see that it's quite big.
But the signature croissant is this 'Almond Croissant'.
And they also have 'Ham Cheese Croissant'.
It is really recommended to order coffee. They have plenty kinds of coffee.
But this one is really nice and special - 'Honey Coffee'.
because, instead of sugar, they use honey and you can order it hot or order it cold.
And, some people may love to order this 'Chocolate Banana Crepe'.
Alright. I think I'm hungry and it's time to enjoy my meal.
Alright. Bonne Appetite! (Enjoy Your Food in French).
Hmm... Wow! The lobster soup here is really good.
I'm here today to introduce to you this marinated chicken with spices and herbs.
This is roasted chicken and very special here at La Femme (Restaurant).
It's the secret recipe spices. And here, they serve this kind of fusion food with local side dish like sticky rice.
And they also have the local 'Jaew Sauce' here for you.
Or you can choose to eat it with salad like 'Soft-Shell Crab Salad' or 'Organic Fried Rice".
So, plenty of options to eat with this roasted chicken.
I heard that the spices are really good. Let's try!
OK. Wow!! and I love this sticky rice.
So, get a bit of this sticky rice and 'Jaew (sauce)'.
OK. Let's try the chicken.
It's very good. I could smell the herbs, the spices they use.
And these are steamed mussels and it's special because they use white wine, some herbs, and garlic in it.
So, I think it's really interesting to try. And also, they serve with these fries.
So...put it into the seafood sauce.
Hmm....spicy..sour!
