Best Ever PORK SKEWER!! Next Level Thai Food with Chef Num! | Samuay and Sons

📺 WATCH PART 1: Foraging + Village Thai Food - • Mountain FOOD PARADISE...
🌿 Follow Chef Num of Samuay and Sons: / num_samuay
UDON THANI, THAILAND (อุดรธานี) - After a full day of foraging and eating Isan food in a village in Sakhon, Nakhon, we drove directly back to Udon Thani, and had the special opportunity to to eat at Samuay and Sons (ซาหมวย & ซันส์) - one of the most exciting restaurants in Thailand serving innovative Thai Isan food by Chef Num! #UdonThani #ThaiFood #Thailand
One of the things I love most about Chef Num is how he makes use of wild and foraged ingredients - but on top of that - using wild ingredients that come from villages and communities throughout Thailand. As an example, during our meal at Samuay & Sons (ซาหมวย & ซันส์), there was this one ingredient that I believe was a kind of nut. Chef Num explained that it was almost extinct, but in this one village in Northern Thailand, they had it. So Chef Num decided to order some from the village, in an effort to preserve the ingredient. That’s just part of Chef Num’s philosophy and the honesty of the ingredients he uses in his cooking.
Another thing I love so much about the food at Samuay & Sons (ซาหมวย & ซันส์) is the balance of all tastes and flavors - but more on the medicinal side. He has an amazing way of adding layers of fermentation, bitterness, and herbs together that create such a harmony in your mouth.
Most of the dishes were Thai Isan food, but Chef Num explained that his idea being the “journey” tasting menu is that he uses ingredients from all over Thailand - like we had grouper fish (from the ocean), but with an Isan approach and thinking. This is the way that he’s able to innovate and progress Thai Isan food.
The meal was amazing, and a few of my favorite dishes were dried foraged bamboo with yanang leaf sauce, shrimp head butter green papaya salad, and 3 year old pig “moo ping,” - probably the best skewer of moo ping you’ll ever have!!
Samuay and Sons (ซาหมวย & ซันส์) is one of the best restaurants in Udon Thani for a high end culinary experience. Highly recommended, I learned a lot, and loved the flavors.
Also when you’re in Udon Thani, try Chef Num’s more family restaurant Mak Khang (หมากแข้ง goo.gl/maps/kaDTnhRErBcJdbP37).
Thank you to Chef Num and thank you for watching this video!

To Chef Num, I wish for you and Samuay & Sons, Michelin stars!!! Looks amazing..

[@paaome]

You know exactly how to spend your life in Thailand. Just going around and trying the new local Thai food everywhere. It's nice job, sir.🙏

[@kcenzer9633]

What makes this 2 part recording so spectacular is learning that Chef Num is not only a genius when it comes to his incredible dishes but that above and beyond everything else he is a SCIENTIST of the earth's productive growth. I love all your recorded travels and restaurants and experiences....they always make me smile. But this one made me cry. It was so moving. THANK YOU.

[@tunnnnnnnnnnn]

I'm so lucky living in Udon Thani. Other than their delicious menus, these two brother chefs are so friendly. They can talk about food and ingredients for hours.

[@paulmcclain9023]

Tun, my wife is from UD ..we live in the US now but we will retire there .. have you been to PRIME STEAKHOUSE in UD yet ?

[@maetes]

Great. Using local food and buying from local farms means there’s more money going back into your community and it is environmentally friendly. The way he cooked and presented it was next level.

[@deanagewasteland6658]

Beautiful food! Foraged! Chef Num is so laid back and a Grand Master Chef! Positive every time!

[@JDPSSD6]

Hello Mark Weins, Firstly I would like to Thankyou, your beautiful wife Ying and your lovely son Micah in mark of respect ✊ for the kind of work you do and showcase it to the world.. In simple words you are doing amazing job even during Pandemic 😷. Lately I started following your KZbin travel and food updates and came across some beautiful 🤩 some wonderful and some amazing and some memorable ones too.. I would like to specially mention that your wife Ying at the background is doing great 👍 job both as a wife and mother.. in one of your old videos you have mentioned that both your parents are Christian missionaries which showcases in your mannerisms and attitude towards people around you.. that humbleness and simplicity is what attracting many.. May you continue to do the good work and God bless your family 🙏🏼😊 Thankyou for reading my comment (if you ever had chance to read)..

I have " OH WOW ! " as my ringtone.

[@TheOriginalArchie]

the thing i admire most about mark is his drive. he's a content machine and it seems like he loves each second of it. respect to the amount of effort he puts into his work.

[@mubienkvape]

After following mark for so many years, there's no way i can watch his videos without eating something. It become my daily eating routine

[@kimberlygonzalez2864]

Ha ! Me too 🤣. Its a daily routine now. Lol.

[@mubienkvape]

@@kimberlygonzalez2864 Once i saw his video in the middle of the night. Then i realized i had nothing on the fridge. Big mistake. Lol

[@MistressLovelyone]

That looked incredible. What a talented passionate chef. You and your family are so blessed Mark, ty for being a part of my daily life,

[@Jayapullani]

So good to see the incredible care taken to present these dishes, and the way the chef/owner speaks about the food. It is obvious he really cares for and loves the food he creates, and I believe this also transfers to how good the food can taste.

[@SaschaHusenbeth]

wow i'm impressed. thai cuisine is on another level.

[@ilakya]

I've seen a lot of Thai fine dining. Most of them use Thai ingredient to make foreign dish. But this chef, He actually make Thai dish. Even main dish the pork skewer with sticky rice "Kao Neao Moo Ping" is what you can find on any street food area all over Thailand. He so bold to just upgrade the dish with some delicate detail and serve it in fine dining style.

[@baggins1974]

Another great video, lots of love for Chef Num and his team.

How to know Mark’s actual judgement of food: 1. Bite and Lean to the right with eyes closed = Absolutely loves it 2. Bites and eyeballs expanding with no lean = Interesting and tasty but not spectacular ......😆😆

[@chichibangbang3667]

Don't forget the hand gestures

[@onizukamugen]

WAOW!

[@sinkso]

And if he goes “Oh. Okay, so...” means he does not like it

[@mubienkvape]

You nailed it bro! Don't forget if he just nod few times but still smile (specifically sweet foods), he didn't like it. He will still say that it's good, but it's not his favourite

[@somalykhmercookinglifestyl6001]
