MUST TRY Ancient food in Chinatown, Bangkok - Daytime

10 out of 10. Spicy. I love it. Hey guys, welcome to Street Wonder channel. My name is Opal from Bangkok, Thailand. Today we're exploring ancient food in Yawarat, Chinatown. But did you know the food in Chinatown during daytime and night time are different? Some restaurants open early in the morning but close before sundown. Well, I've shown you Chinatown at night time a few times before. So today I'll be showing you Chinatown during daytime. So let's go. First, we're starting off here at Kanom Jeep Baet Sia, guys, which is a Chinese-themed sumai. They've been open for over a hundred years. Can you believe they're selling a small cart like that? And the grandpa behind me is Baet Sia. Smell very nice across from the street. Let's go check it out, guys. Ancient sumai been selling for over a hundred years. Cheers. I don't know how to describe it. It's so good, guys. If you wonder what's inside, it's minced pork inside and they wrap it up and then they top it with fried garlic and some chili sauce. Kanom Jeep in Thailand is a lot bigger. This one is very small. Salty inside and then the sweet chili. They complete each other so well. I don't know how to describe how good it is but just look at the line behind me, guys. That's how good it is. Just keep in mind that they're open every day, guys, including Monday. Chinatown closes on Monday but some shops are still open including Kanom Jeep Baet Sia. So Monday, every day. Moving on to the next one. And just only a few meters from Kanom Jeep Baet Sia, guys, here is my favorite restaurant. I always come here every time I visit Chinatown early in the day so follow me. And next, we're here at BBQ Red Pork restaurant, guys. Ta-da! It's called Sian Lau Yi Ho. It's been open for over 70 years now and it looks like this. Comes with the pork and what's special about this restaurant is the egg, guys. It's brown, almost black. This is their special recipe. This is the only BBQ Red Pork restaurant that cooks the egg like this so if you come around this area, it's a must-try restaurant. So what you do is you use this sauce, dik cho, Chinese vinegar, put it on top. My all-time favorite. If you're new to Thai-Chinese food, this dish should be on your list because it's not spicy at all and the sauce is very, very sweet. That's why we need to add this sauce and it's my childhood favorite, guys. Delicious. The BBQ pork. And right next to Chinatown Main Street, guys, there's a good stew restaurant right here. They have a seating inside this small alley. No AC but if you keep walking inside, they have AC area. Alright, so let's go. This is not chicken. This is not duck but it's goose, guys. It tastes like duck but more chewy. Okay, let's try it with sauce. So much better with the sauce. Sour, sweet and a little bit spicy but really, really sour. There. This is goose blood. It comes in a cube shape like this. I know it may sound wrong eating goose blood. You will see this kind of food in Southeast Asia. We eat chicken blood, goose blood, three common so don't freak. It tastes like chicken blood. Like when I eat chicken with rice, it tastes exactly the same. This is braised bamboo, guys. Stew. I like it. I don't know how to describe the texture. It's like a crunchy vegetable, guys. So next, we're gonna add That's the worst. I love it. It's so good. Braised bamboo with spicy sauce. Highly recommend. This is one of the Chinese soup, guys. In Thai, it's called mala which basically is a Chinese bitter gourd. It's a kind of vegetable but very bitter. This is a braised pork bone. Not bad. I mean, it still has the bitter taste in it but it's not bad. It would go really well with the rest of the dishes. So guys, we're here at the famous Seafood Shop. That's Jeda. Everything looks so fresh and so yummy, guys. Pretty pricey but let's see if it's worth it or not. Behind me is Jeda Pudong Seafood Shop, guys. And that is the main street of Chinatown. So very easy to come. Let's dig in. First, let me try the fermented shrimp. It's already seasoned with seafood sauce already, guys. Spicy but very good. So bouncy and fresh. This is the fermented crab. I forgot to tell you all of this. This whole lunchbox, I paid 460 baht. You know, because it's fermented, I thought it would be salty but it's not salty at all. It's so fresh. The seafood sauce is just amazing. Papaya and onion. And maybe some garlic, guys. I love it. Real orange juice. What I like about today, guys, is that I get to experience new food in Chinatown because I often come here at night time and I have my go-to restaurant. But coming here during daytime, it's so vibrant. It gives you another vibe. It's a little hotter but it also has amazing food as well, guys. So if you have an opportunity to come here during daytime, do not miss all the food that I'm showing you today. And if you think I'm doing very good so far, don't forget to give me a thumbs up and we will continue. Here we are at Ia Sae, the original coffee shop, guys. And they've been open for over 100 years. They're on their fourth generation already. I'm so excited. Let's go try their original Thai tea. We're here at the Hidden Coffee Shop in Chinatown. You know, it's not located on the main busy road but you have to walk a little bit further into the small alley. And the road outside is so quiet. And then you'll hear the bustling people talking from this coffee shop. Very local. I don't see any foreigner. And good news is if you're a morning person, this shop opened since 5 a.m. in the morning until 6.30 p.m. Alright, and I ordered. Ta-da! Thai tea pasta. Not too sweet. A really, really nice Hidden Coffee Shop, guys. It's very good to experience the real local taste right in the touristy spot. This is an original Laotong Singapore dessert shop, guys. They claim to be the first ever shop that opened in Thailand. Ta-da! So this is a dessert, Thai dessert, made of rice flour and it's green and mixed with some jackfruit and you eat it in a glass like that and with ice on top. They give me a full glass of ice so you have to work your way in. They've been open for 80 years. Jesus. Just right around the corner from the main street, guys. Alright, here we are at the Ancient Chinese Bun Shop. They've been having this recipe for 100 years plus. Ta-da! They have many flavors but I ordered a sesame flavor and minced pork and bean white sesame. The obvious difference that I can see is the color of the bread, guys. It's pretty yellow because you know if the normal Chinese bun that we see on the street or in 7-11, it's white. Really, really white. But this one is sort of yellowish. Sesame! I like it. You know, it's very, very rare to find Chinese bun with sesame. Alright, the mouthfeel is sweet. The bun is not so thick. I like it very much. I forgot to tell you one more thing, guys. This shop opens from 9am until 5pm because it's on Sunday. And next is the beans with white sesame. Sweeter. This one is not bad but I prefer the black sesame because it's pretty sweet yummy food or dessert. So, I accidentally bumped into a dessert cart. So, you can see a lot of the black jelly. It's a glass jelly and kangkong and also palm seeds, alright. It's a mixture of everything and this is putla. You'll see this kind of dessert in Chinatown a lot but this version comes in a cart and the uncle says he sells every day but he just keeps rolling his cart around Chinatown street. So, if you bump into him, stop by and try, okay. So, first bite. So good! With some ice in it which makes it not so sweet but you know, keep in mind this kind of dessert, you have to eat it cold with ice. I'm so happy today. I ate all the good food and kangkong. Putla! So sweet! So, these are must-try food in Yawara, Chinatown during daytime, guys. I hope you enjoy it. However, this place has a lot to offer. I cannot offer all in one video. So, I promise you, I will come back and show you more. If you think I did a good job, please give me a thumbs up. If you haven't already, please hit subscribe and I'll see you in the next one. Bye!
