AMAZING Restaurant Tour of Bangkok Thailand

Hey guys, what's up? It's Mikey Chin. I'm at the Soi restaurant here in Bangkok, Thailand. I saw this restaurant get featured on the travel channel. I saw that a lot of bloggers came here and did videos about it. The food is not only authentic, it's supposed to be one of the best Thai restaurants, well, anywhere. Let's go in and check it out. Just ordered like six dishes. So excited. This is really awesome. Stir-fried pork with holy basil. This just sounds mythical. I mean, holy basil. And look at it. It's got chili, chili seeds all over it. This thing is gonna, this thing is gonna be spicy. I can tell right now. Came by asking like four times if I can handle my spice. Oh, I can handle my spice. Put a little rice on there. Holy basil, holy cow. Whoa. Oh, this is good. It's like eating crackling pig. Everything is so crunchy. A lot of crispy pork skin in here. It's like, it's like eating stir-fried pork rinds, but the flavor is so much better. I just want to try this holy basil on its own here. Whoa, that is really basil-y. First time I've ever heard of holy basil was on Food Wars, the anime Food Wars. No wonder holy basil won the tournament for that one dude. This dish is spicy already and they brought extra chili sauce for it. So, you know what? Let's, let's do it. This has made me really happy. Chili on top of chili, on top of crispy pork, on top of holy basil. That's like a pyramid of perfection. This is another very traditional dish. Stir-fried eggs with glass noodles, dry shrimp, and it's cooked in pork fat. And it's very garlicky. See a lot of garlic in here, and I love my garlic. It's not my favorite Thai dish because it's just really ingy and shrimpy. It's a good dish, but personally, I'm just not personally crazy for it. Oh, a mackerel head. This dish, I heard it's a must-get when you come here. And usually, you have to call ahead to order this dish. But I came here, asked if they had it, and they did. Probably because I came at a really awkward time. But hey, you know what? Anytime is a good time for good food. And just looking at this dish, it kind of looks like the night of the living dead fish, living dead mackerel. And I feel like it is missing the insides of the head. Usually, I'm not big on fish head. But again, people say you must try this. So, hey, let's do it. It's not what I expected. It literally tastes like a fish cracker. They're seasoned very nicely. It's got a lot of crunch. Nothing really disgusting about this. There's like a half a skull. It's like eating a bag of fish head Doritos. This is Phu Ba Pong curry. It's soft-shelled crab in curry. And I feel like, I think there's eggs in here as well. There is the soft-shelled crab. Wow, I love soft-shelled crab. It's just the most convenient crab, you know. It's very spicy. I like that. But something about this dish, I'm not crazy about. Maybe it is mostly due to the soft-shelled crab itself. Let me try it again. So when you bite into the soft-shelled crab, there's a burst of juice because all that curry is trapped inside the crab. And that's, I feel like that's really good. But as you chew, the shell itself becomes a little tough and I don't know. I feel like I'm chewing a lot on the shell itself. And this thing ordered accidentally, actually. This is Tom Yum with mackerel. I was trying to order Tom Yum soup. Tom Yum gong soup. And you stir it and there's a lot of chili in here. It's mackerel fish. It looks great though. But you know what? Mistakes can lead to beautiful eats. So I'm all good. I really like that soup. Oh, I really like that soup. No. You are not a mistake. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. This was, this was fate. I don't believe in mistaken orders. Everything that comes to my table was meant to be on my table. And you, you are for sure supposed to be here. A couple things I love is I love spice and I love sour. Look at, when I stir this up, they told me to stir it before I take a spoonful. You see all the pepper on the bottom? I think there's a lot of vinegar in here. So the profile is basically really spicy and really sour. And spicy and sour, that's my jam. I'm gonna try the mackerel that's floating around in here. Oh man, that is tender. I'm not such a fan of mackerel fish itself because they have tons of tiny little bones in here. But this fish just tastes very very fresh. Meat is clean. It's not fishy at all. I think that's the balance the soup needs because it is bordering on too spicy and too sour. So put a piece of fish with the soup. Wow, I think that's how you're supposed to eat it. I don't know, but that works for me. So you're not just getting like too much acid and the fish kind of absorbs it and takes the edge off that by a lot. Great, great soup. And finally got these four babies. Looking all beautiful. Needs attention. Oh wow, the flesh just came off so easily. Look at this. Oh man, you can tell how fresh this sucker is. Let's dip it in the sauce. Get out of town. The meat is literally sweet. So I didn't shrink any less. Sorry, you guys gonna have to excuse me. I'm about to do things to the head of this prawn that you might find a little barbaric. So give me a second. I'll be right back. Well, I definitely enjoyed doing that. And of all the dishes I tried here, this holy basil is still my favorite. Holy man, like this This is incredible. If you come here, gotta get this dish. This is Sai, the chef of this restaurant. I hear every dish you have to cook. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Well, it shows because it was fantastic. Thank you so much. That was a long day at the floating market. I'm back near my hotel and my local friends told me that this restaurant, which is literally half a block from my hotel, it's one of the best restaurants you can go to in Bangkok for things like Tom Yum Go. And I walked in and it does look like it. I mean tons of celebrity on the walls. It's nine o'clock at night. The place is still packed. So I'm thinking this is gonna be a good meal. Here's the Tom Yum soup prawns. Although I've had Tom Yum soup for like four days straight. I'm still very excited about this. All right, this soup is not as creamy as the ones before but this flavor is intense. Ooh, spicy, sour, lemongrassy. This is really good Tom Yum soup. Spicy Thai clam. Wow, this dish is ridiculous. This spicy clam dish. Oh my god. I gotta scoop some of that delicious sauce. Sauce. Onto my rice. Put a little clam. That sauce is off the chart. You know what it is? Because of the basil. They put so much basil in here and that just made the clams so much better. Having a really good meal. I'm at the Super Thai place for dinner and I just ordered seven dishes. We got seven. The guy was like, are you sure? I'm like, yeah, yeah. Just bring it, bring it, bring it. I want to try everything. All my favorite dishes in Thailand. I want to try it here and then I'm gonna be really happy. I think. I think I'll be very happy. I have no idea what this is, but I saw a bunch of people eating it. So I want it. This dish came this little um, papaya salad looking thing. Oh my god, it just like breaks away crunchy. Apparently this is fried fish. I did not know fried fish can look like this. Wow, look at that. So crunchy. I could not sit here and tell you this was fish. This fish is crazy. It's like somebody took a ray gun to a fish and it just like completely burned to a crisp. That's what this looks and tastes like. I have not had good pad thai since I got to Thailand and I intended to fix that. Hopes for this pad thai. I really do. I haven't had a lot of pad thai but that's for sure the best pad thai I had in Thailand. The pad thai I had before is so sour because I think they put too much tamarind sauce in and this one is not at all. Perfectly seasoned. Wonderful balance of flavor. The noodle is nice and bouncy. The vegetables crunchy. I don't know if this is like considered good pad thai in Thailand, but it's at least like I mentioned the best I've had so far. This is a crab meat curry. It's supposed to be soft crab curry, but I think here it's just a bunch of crab meats. Some onions, cilantro. Nice crabby flavor. Not my favorite. All right, morning glory. I thought I needed some veggies to balance out my diet. This is a massive plate of veggies. When this first got here, I thought it was frog legs. Look how big this is. This is actually really delicious. There's so much chili on there. It's uber spicy. Can I always eat vegetables like this from now on? It's fried vegetables. I mean it's still vegetables, right? Is that good for me? It has come. Look at this beautiful fish. All just chili and garlicky sauce on this thing. Oh man. I get so excited about fish in Thailand. Look at all that cilantro. Oh, I just smell the sweet and sourness of this sauce. Happy early birthday to me. It wasn't spicy. Super flavorful with that great taste of cilantro. That fish is fried to perfection. Look at the meat on this thing. Beautiful, tender, white, flaky meat. So spicy, a little hint of sweet. This fish, oh man, this is beautiful. Good fish right here in Thailand. I just want to say again how good that fish was because I took a few more bites. Man, that's good. When you bite down, you get the sauce, you get the crunchiness of the skin, then you get the tender fish meat. Oh my goodness. I think it was the best fish I had in Thailand so far. So guys, do yourselves a favor. Come here. I'm gonna put the address for you. Come here and try their fish. Now the problem is I don't know what fish I ordered. I saw it on some other people's table when I pointed at it and it turned out to be awesome. So maybe, I don't know, take a screenshot of this video and show it to them. That's it. Another long food-filled day. I'm happy. Good night.
