Nairobi's NEW & BEST Thai Restaurant

if there's one thing that Nairobi is lacking is good Tha food but there is a new restaurant here in Nairobi who is stepping up to the plate welcome to bang [Music] bang Hi how are you how are you I have to say this is the most beautiful menu I've ever seen it's wrapped in leather and first of all you have the story and then you have all the menu on the right side but on the back side is actually photos of bang bang through his life and I assume I saw back in here I would assume his grandmother it's here correct me if I'm wrong but it's just a really stunning menu so you might be wondering what who why bang bang um bang bang is actually a person from Thailand who was raised by his grandmother and he had a lot of different hats I can't remember them all so just excuse me here he was a Muay Thai Champion a Hollywood star a politician an entrepreneur a restaurant restaurant is that how I say that restaurant owner yeah it's just not WR that way um and a singer and my favorite part about him being a singer it says here that he actually won a national singing contest performing pad TI's love which it was a tribute to his grandmother so that's where the name bang bang comes from Patti we have to have P it's like our favorite and I I'm sure that it's good oh definitely definitely you'll feel the thail perfect that's what I want back to the streets of Bangkok but um for for the rest I leave it to you okay definitely perfect my passport is ready take me to Thailand so I know you guys are always curious about prices I'm going to give you a few like starters or all around about 1,000 gon Shillings um from Pai to PAC to stay I mean I don't know if you know those words but the all TI name um even the dumplings around thousand as well same thing Mains are you know about 1,000 to 15 something like that it's it's fairly reasonable like I mean if the food is good I think like these price make sense the only thing that's very expensive is a lobster papy at 7,500 it must be like premium Lobster so I would say that's like their most signature dish or something because when you look down on the signature dish uh menu they're more on the pricey side like 3,000 yeah and there's nothing else close to that price but there is a lot better like easy pricing everything like that good prices I'm so hungry right now I'm sorry I'm [Music] distracted so for starting we have papaya salace and which is basically like a beef salad it smells so good ready let's dig in let's start off with the papaya salad so let's start with the papaya salad oh spicy mhm this is not like the normal papaya that like you would get here in Canya like completely different taste or it is and it's just ripe we still haven't figured that out that's fair my point is doesn't taste like normal papaya the fruit Dave got scared when you heard about papaya I don't like papaya I like this though it is really spicy guys I say it's really good though yeah now the Nong is that it so good I that's so nice because the two salads are completely different very different one is like very fresh very like spicy the other one is like neat very earthy and I'm always sketch out like edible flowers oops I know you can eat them but I I just don't want to one thing I have to say the staff here super friendly from the chef to the waitress to the hostesses those are the two first Smiles that you're going to see when you arrive here at bang bang it's worth it to come just for that [Music] yeah [Music] okay so now to try they brought out even more stars we're going to be that's the thing like when a restaurant invites us to like try the food and show it to you guys they want us to like try as many as possible so we got the fried chicken with some sauce that looks really sticky and very delicious we got chicken on skewer with delicious peanut sauce and we have a soup with the largest shrimp I've have ever seen in my life life look at this okay I'm trying the chicken and peanut oh that is a thick peanut sauce that's a good stuff can I like have a bottle of that sauce to take home just let me put some in your glass for you man you have to try that like I'm not even exaggerating okay yeah wow that's good peanut sauce that hands down the best peanut sauce we've ever had yeah okay fried chicken I think is that one bite best day ever [Music] I'm speechless now the giant shrimp soup the soup is good it's very lemony the quality of the meat the shrimp is amazing but like for my taste it's nothing compared to two other appetizer like these two chicken ones are like a 10 out of 10 but the meat though the meat is very good the shrimp is very good trac's picking away like the food and like she just dropped some like straight on my pants normally like I dirty my pants on my own but not not a big deal cuz you always dirty them [Music] [Applause] [Music] anyway okay so as you saw we had a requirement we had to have pad tie so they gave us a lobster pad tie and as you know we already talked about it that is the most expensive pad tie on the menu if you get this it will ser two people so please keep that in mind it's massive it's bigger than my head but that's what we're going to try first so pad tie is the true test it is the most massive dish I ever had in a restaurant okay ready let's go back in the streets of Bangkok 100% I'm curious with that fried Lobster is this maybe not yeah oh wow oh wow it's a lober just can I just cut it in half no all in I'm hesitating because Lobster isn't my favorite food so I'm a little worried that's a pretty good laer come on it's like tossed in like the pat Tha sauce so it doesn't like everything everything go so up next we have Pat guy gr pow and I remember eating that on a food tour actually in Bangkok so let's see if it's as good it's actually better yeah that's sorry I'm like waiting for the kick to hit cuz I remember this entirely too and this has two to three spice but I would say it's probably less spicier than the papay salad yeah so there's a lot of spicy food on the menu but it all tells you like how spicy it is from one chili to three chili of I think you could customized too with the yeah that's not too spicy that's very good yeah the first papaya salad that we had was too chili and this is also too chili if that's too chili the papaya salad deserves three chili preserve five chili yeah it was very spicy it was so good but like yeah it was my limit this is not as spicy as the Papo salad at all no I just want all the lobster and our third Yes you heard that right third man is actually a vegetable veget it's a vegetable one PA and just read my lips here f f f i mean we could not be pronouncing this properly at all just that why has like a charcoal taste like it was grilled or something that's nice oh yeah that's [Music] true right now like I'm Soul full it's not even funny and I feel like they're going to bring dessert I don't know how I'm going to do that that Lobster though that was delicious this is a mango perfect looks delicious the mang but the mangoes are look oh last dish right you promise okay okay so the last dish very last is actually mango sticky rice it's like a super popular Street dish um in Thailand which is the only place we've had it before so this is mango sticky rice but with Kenyan mangoes yes local Kenyan mangoes you're know wa for me okay can I say something and be honest the one time I had it in Thailand maybe it just wasn't the best vendor I actually said I didn't like it that's true if you look back in the video it's there I really like this I don't know if it's just the rice has better like sweetness to it I don't know but it's cuz it's a Kenyan mango let us tell you about bang bang so I think we forgot to say it's actually in Village Market so right beside the local Grill and it's still owned by the tribe family so tribe trademark hero another favorite of ours um Harvest same company same person so we just had a long conversation with the chef and like I'm really impressed first of all you know it's a Thai restaurant he's from Thailand I love that he knows what's up with Thai food but also he has so much experience he's been in the restoration business for decades open several restaurant all around the world and you can tell because the flavor is truly there in every single bite yes and special shout out to the staff like between the chef himself and just all of the staff everyone was so nice but friendly smiling yes but you know how sometimes you're like oh it's your job you like you just have to they truly enjoyed being here and it made me enjoy my experience even more apart from the food so ABS anyway super good experience we will definitely be back I'll probably be back here for my birthday to be honest like we are in love with this place and that's pretty much it I am full I need to go to bed it's late so until next time see you guys in the next one
