You can see a lot of the street food

to be able to block, to be
able to shield a little bit.
He has pathongo which smells really good,

English: 
but the foot path traffic
normally there would,
there used to be a lot more
action here than normal.
The good thing about
Thailand is so many people,
almost everybody wears a mask.
So you'll look around
everybody that's walking around
is wearing a mask, some
people wear visors like this.
This is kind of the main central
area of Yaowarat Chinatown.
It's still not nearly as busy
as it typically would be.
But we're still walking
around trYin to just,
getting our bearings.
TrYin to see what to
eat, I'm getting hungry.
(upbeat music)
We're getting back into the

(murmuring)

English: 
What?
(speaking in foreign language)
(laughing)
A lot of the street food stalls,
have some kind of barrier or blockade.
I guess now that we're gonna eat
I can take of the mask and the visor.
But have some type of blockade.
Some of them have clear PVC pipe fixtures,
that they've created to divide tables.
Others just put up straight up
piece of Coca-Cola cardboard,
in between your table.
(speaking in foreign language)
But generally,
it's also, one person per table,
if you don't have a block.
So if they didn't have a block,
it would just be one person per table.
But Yin and I, can now share a table,
because we have a cardboard
blockade between us.
Okay, we just ordered
some Tom Yum noodles.
(speaking in foreign language)

Yin, (speaking in foreign language),
which is, it's pink noodles.
They're known as pink
noodles because they have the
fermented soybean biproduct in
there, to make it flavorful.
To give it that sweet flavor.
I got the Tom Yum with
a mix of fish balls,
a mix of sea food, there's
some peanuts on top.
There's some chili,
there is some fish skins,
some fried fish skins.
And I'll just taste
the broth but for sure,
this bowl of noodles is
designed to add as much
toppings as much chili and
vinegar to your liking.
There's bean sprouts in here.
It has a nice sour taste, not too sweet.
But it definitely needs some seasoning.
And, (laughs) here it
is, the seasoning is over
this side of the table.
A little bit of chili flakes go in.

English: 
An absolute mandatory move.
And I like to go with vinegar.
And before we really dig in,
better do a
a good hand wash.
Table's a little wobbly.
Okay, now we are ready.
Oh yeah,
with that chili,
the sourness of vinegar,
that's delicious.
And then there is a variety of
all sorts of fish ball meat,
meat balls, or fish balls.
Fish skin,

(upbeat music)
Feels good, and tastes good,
to have a hot fresh bowl,
of noodles on a hot blazing,
sweaty day in Bangkok.
But just that, that
contrast, the broth is sour,
slightly sweet, spicy all
combined in your mouth
at the same time
How is it Yin?
- It's really good
- It's good yeah, really good.
Fish ball time.
Yeah now that is bouncy.
Spongy mmmh.

This one is the fish skin.
Mmmm.
That's one of my favorite (mumbles).
It's fried, (mumbles) and crispy.
But then, it just completely
absorbs all that broth,
all that soup, just like this
fried fish chip full of juice.
(upbeat music)
Yin, how are you doing over there?
- Very good (laughing).
(speaking in foreign language)
- Yeah it was very good.
- Yeah, it's very good.
And also it has been like,
at least two and a half months,
since we've come out
to the streets to eat,
that's also why it tastes
so good, I think right?

English: 
I missed the energy, the
culture, not even the flavors.
But the energy, the culture, the life,
the market atmosphere.
(upbeat music)
That was a great stop,
I'm dripping in sweat.
But we are off again to
walk around, here we go.
The benefit of wearing a
mask when you do a food tour.
Yin, was just telling me one
of the benefits of wearing
a mask when you do a food tour,
one of the benefits of wearing a mask
when you do a food tour
that I'd never thought of
is that you don't need to make sure
you have nothing stuck in your teeth.
You just put your mask up, (laughs).
So I might have a bunch of
stuff stuck in my teeth,
we'll never know.

Let's continue walking, we're
back out onto the main street.
More tables, and in Yaowarat,
a lot of the street food,
is known, famous especially at night time.
But, I think things are
starting to open up.
Oh, we gotta go this way.
(upbeat music)
Almost every time that
I come to Chinatown,
I stop by this small
little stall that serves
Chinese herbal medicinal drinks.
And, we just passed them,
but we're gonna go order
from them again because
they have this amazingly
innovative, creative, serving style.
Truly taking serving and social distancing
to the to the next level.
And so, pass by all of

English: 
(laughs) Yes, I love it every time.
It's no joke, no exaggeration
calling it bitter liquid.
It's bitter, it has a
slight molasses tinge to it,
without being sweet.
You just taste the herbs,
the medicine, the health,
going down, it's served warm.
I quite enjoy it, although
it is pretty intense.
Aaah, yeah that will
raise your chest hairs,
love it, it may look a
little bit like cola,
but this is far from Coca-Cola.
Aaaah, yes, the medicine,

We are walking towards a street stall,
that's very, very, famous
called Krua Porn Lamai.
And they are very well known for volcanic,
flaming hot, iron pans
filled with vegetables,
a dish called suki, and their noodles,
and among other dishes.
They should be just about open.
Watch out for your head,
and we're gonna eat there next.
Almost, we just asked
them they're gonna open
in about 15 minutes.
They are still setting up,
but they have some
tables here, we can wait.
And this is the table situation here.
They have tables lined
along the side walk.
PVC pipe, which has been
constructed into an upright
holder for a giant plastic bag.
Which kinda sits onto the PVC pipe,
and then you can sit down.
And that way you can view
your partner as you eat,

across the table.
Also I think typically,
before when I've come here,
the tables are much closer together.
I think they've spaced
out the tables a lot more
because the next table is
a few feet to the back.
And, they've kinda spaced
tables out along the sidewalk.
And they also have alcohol here for you.
That's very convenient, very awesome.
Street food, alcohol hand wash.

It's for scrubbing (laughs)?
I had seen that before but
I had no idea what it's for.
I guess it's for,
scrubbing of the old skin.
- Yeah
- Yeah, as soon as this place
open's immediately it's full,
huh Yin?
- Yah.
- All the tables are full now.
This place is known for
extra crispy things.
And after he fries it in oil,
then you put it onto a,
it's called a (speaking

I have to start with that crispy omelet.
Crispy, there's oysters.
And then he put a handful of
bean sprouts on the bottom.
But actually at the top of the wok.
And then, flipped it out, onto the plate.
So you get a little bit
of the crispy oysters,
you get some of the bean sprouts.
And you gotta add the sauce too huh.
And this is like a sweet chili sauce.
Ketchupy, chili sauce,
but it's an absolute must.
That can still be volcanic hot
because of that iron plate.
So you wanna proceed cautiously.
Wow.
It's oily, it's crispy, it is tasty.
And this one is the Suki Nam.
I think we actually
ordered the Suki-Haeng.
Which would have come
on a hot plate as well,
but this one is the soup version.
And that's okay anyways.
There's a mix of vegetables,
there's egg here,
in a broth with chicken.

English: 
And there's also a sauce that you can buy.
Let me taste it, I'll just taste it first.
The whole egg makes
the entire broth thick.
It first has a sweet taste,
and then a little bit of a sour curtness.
And that pinkness is coming usually
from (speaking in foreign language).
(speaking in foreign language)
It's a fermented soy bean product,
that turns pink,
Like you definitely wanna
add more on the suki sauce.
Get some OF the chicken,
there is some mongi noodles.
There is morning glory,
and there is cabbage.
And the final dish we got
here is called Kuakai crab.
Kuakai is a common Tai noodle dish,
which is usually really smoked out.
Very smoky in a hot wok.
But they've taken this to the next level
to make it extra crispy.

Oh, I almost forgot about the chicken.
There's chicken on top.
It's like a crunchy blob of
deep fried noodles and egg.
(laughs) It's translucent.
I'm sure that it needs a little bit of
tangy, sweet sauce too.
Wow.
That is everything you can
possibly want in a crunchy snack.
It literally, it would definitely float
if you put that on water.
It's buoyant for sure, it's
so crispy, translucent.
It's almost the crispiness of a pastry,
without the layers of crispiness.
A crispy inner tube is what it is.
Yeah the food here is
almost more like snacks,

You come here to eat,
but it is very tasty.
It is a really classic place.
And, it's great that they are taking
a lot of social distancing precautions.
Spacing things out, and
still be able to enjoy
a fresh meal on the
streets here in Bangkok.
(upbeat music)
Let me scoot it under the table.

(laughing)
That's my view of my dinner date.
(laughing)
- Yeah, mmh, very crispy.
- Yeah, very crispy.
(speaking in foreign language)
Look Yin, they have two
different size bags of chili.
Oh, but looks like this smaller bag,

English: 
and this place is usually known for it's
late night street food.
It really is kinda, like
late night crunchy snacks.
You come here to eat,
but it is very tasty.
It is a really classic place.
And, it's great that they are taking
a lot of social distancing precautions.
Spacing things out, and
still be able to enjoy
a fresh meal on the
streets here in Bangkok.
(upbeat music)

Oh, but looks like this smaller bag,

English:

Even this bag, it's not
really that much chili.
(upbeat music)
What a creation this one is.
This might be the winner here.
Just a crispy blob of deep
fried noodles, chicken, and egg.
And it's so unbelievably
fluffy and so flaky.
Like a pastry.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
(crunching)
(plates clanking)
Had to re-mask, re-visor.
Yeah, that was greasy but tasty.
Like late night, late night snacks.
And you can see again,
actually they are completely full huh?
Look they're completely full.
Every table.

Final stop we wanted to go to
is a little ways up the street.
There's people waiting in line.
Oh yeah that looks awesomely good,
fried rice, crab fried rice.
Oh crab fried rice does
sound good, (laughs).
But yeah there's a most,

Maybe the most famous in
Bangkok for his pathogo.
Which are the Thai Chinese,
fried, savory donuts,
with soy milk.
Now that would make a
great end to this video,
and to this food tour.
(speaking in foreign language)
This is probably the most
famous pathongo stall
in all of Bangkok.
They were in the Michelin
Guide, in 2019, 2018,2020.

You can see that dough is so pillowy soft.

He's so strategic with the way he,
partners those dough together.
And he doubles them up
into a little bow tie.
(upbeat music)
Fresh soy milk, cold soy milk,
and hot, freshly fried, pathongo.
We gotta start with the pathongo.
Large, and pillowy,
and fluffy, and crispy,
all at the same time.

Puffy, crispy, mmmh you

Oh lemme try that with the soy milk.
Wow.
(murmurs)
Aaah, it's slightly sweetened.
Oh, that's delicious it's so refreshing.
Especially, the cool soy milk to go
with the really hot, freshly,
fried pathongo doughnuts.
Great combination,
and then he also got some of the sangaya.

custard that they also serve
here that you often dip into.
Ooh you got four of them

- Three of them okay let's try it yah?
- Yeah
- We should just try it
real fast we gotta try it.
Sangaya, this is a coconut
and pendean custard,
and that's why it's
green it's from Pendean.
Oh that looks, what do you think?
Yin is an expert of sangaya, she loves it.
So I will dunk.
And this is gonna complete.
Did I get enough?
One more.
Oh yeah, that texture looks amazing.
Wow, that is awesome.
Not overly sweet but the
creaminess of the coconut milk,
that pendean flavor
which kind of is vanilla.
And then again with a really
hot, really fresh pathongo.

You gotta try it Yin.
(upbeat music)
All right, and this brings
us back to where we started.
I already alcoholed my hands,
take off the visor, take off the mask.
And that completes this
Bangkok Chinatown Thai Chinese
street food tour, mini-street food tour.
We just ate a couple of
things and walked around.
Mainly to check out the situation.
I would say that you
know at this situation
during this time every country
is in a different place.
And so some countries are opening up,
other countries are less open.
Their economies, but nevertheless food is
one of the things that we
all need, we all need food.
And it's a huge part of the economy.
And it's also great to be
able to support vendors,
street food vendors, restaurants,
independent restaurants.

English: 
And so it was cool to be
able to just walk around.
To be able to eat at some
street food stalls in Chinatown.
But at the same time, at this time,
I think it's still better
to eat inside at your house.
To order delivery or to cook at home.
If you can I think that is the conclusion
I have come up with.
And, that's what street food is right now
in Bangkok, Thailand Tai street food.
And so I wanna say a big thank
you for watching this video.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Please give this video a
thumbs up if you enjoyed it.
And remember to subscribe.
And I'm gonna be publishing lots more
food and travel videos.
And a big goodbye, thank
you for your support.
And, hope you are doing well,
hope you are keeping safe,
and healthy, and I will
see you on the next video.
Goodbye, goodnight, from Bangkok.
