CRAZY Breakfast Eggs + Indochina Market (ALL-DAY Tour of Mukdahan, Thailand)

On a fun trip to visit the Indochina Market of Mukdahan, you will find food and food history from Vietnam, Laos, China, and of course Thailand's own tradition is what is holding it all together.
A popular spot to visit on any tour, especially when you want back to back awesome all-day breakfasts of Thai street food!
I have visited this specific border in Mukdahan over 20 times now, but this is my first time exploring on foot! I will never get tired of the INCREDIBLE breakfast options, nor the friendly and fun local restaurant and street cart owners I always have the pleasure to meet along the way...

10:21 - Someday I will be able to share a couples dip and share that snack with a nice girl but I am single and I am probably not allowed to order it 😐

[@JoelsTastyRide]

hahahahah Prepforit :). Oh wow.... this one's getting pinned...

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Im still smiling... whew

[@shellaquinn7185]

Awww me 2 😭😭😭🤣

[@jinthad]

There’s actually an old folklore behind that “couple snack”. A long time ago, there’s a king and queen who rule with an iron fist. The villagers actually made figures of the king and queen from dough, stick them together, deep fried and eat them as a sign of disrespect towards the king and queen. After the king and queen was dethroned, the villagers got so used to this comfort food that it had become one of chinese‘s iconic food. Through time they’d stop making the figure looking dough but still maintain the 2 piece tradition

[@PREPFORIT]

@@jinthad Interesting info Thank you.

Nothing like the feeling of feeding and rescuing stray cats and dogs. I'm always taking in new rescues. On 12 pets now and love them all! One of my 8 kitties was missing for 9 days and returned last night. So relieved to have my adorable Ollie home and safe 💖

Breakfast of champions I would call it💪🤤...I just made slow cooked chicken congee a few weeks ago. Would love to try 1000 year old eggs one day... looks super creamy😁🥚. Thank you sharing all the snacks and drinks with us! That egg shot looks awesome...I'll probably add as dash of tobasco in it for a kick🌶️. And that purple sweet potato banana wrapped grilled treat? Yum!🤤 Thank you Joel for another awesome day of food, drinks and snacks you and Li shared with us. Oh...I see you were enjoying the mango tea in the end as well 😁🥭🍵. So happy you like it🙏. Love you buddy! Take care and stay awesome 🌈

Ahhh Tiare, another legendary comment haha, so good. All the food details, and all with love, AND all with emojis. haha thats your signature! I learned something else amazing today, off topic but I guess as far as chili goes, Chinese style fried rice in a tortilla is honestly amazing, haha, WITH fried tofu. and yes, I had Tobasco sauce so thats why I thought of that :) Have you seen eggs like this before? Maybe at an Asian supermarket???

Saibaidee Joel and Li! Perfect timing! I was just about to eat and find a video to watch while eating and yours popped up. Y'all are eating some of my favorite comfort foods. For the Kuay Jab, the noodles are rice noodles and they naturally curl up once cooked! In it's dried form the noodles are triangle shape but once you cook it in a hot liquid the noodles will just roll up. Also century eggs aka preserved eggs, are covered in clay (there are other methods as well). Such a unique taste!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Broooo Sonexay man, I do not remember where you told me your heritage is from actually, but could it be in this general area? All man I guess just with Thailand, the northern areas I just better explored, the north area of Laos as well, but man I have always been drawn to the north east of Thailand and south Laos because I just get such good and real vibes from the People’s history in these areas. Maybe not flashy, maybe it’s hot dusty and not so attractive to the calendar type travel trip, but it is real life and I just love the food they eat the way they live, I’ve always appreciated it… I know you do too so that’s why I am bothering to write all this ha ha :-) thanks for the info about the century eggs, I don’t know if these were made the traditional way but, that’s pretty awesome wrapping anything in Clay… And then thank you for the reminder of how the noodles take their shape. I gotta remember that

[@eatlikeanapex]

Hey what’s up Joel. Just finished watching the entire video. From porridge to jackfruit chips ha ha. Loved it. This was a great one and I enjoyed you taking me on this food tour. I totally love Rice porridge. That is like one of my favorite comfort dishes. I typically Get it with Fish, but I enjoy Any congee porridge. Yo the rice plate with the pork looks absolutely delicious. I am drooling and craving for that entire meal and I love the Chinese donuts. Well that’s what I call it. I typically get those with rice porridge as well. Man seriously that entire meal is my kind of breakfast. OK that’s so cool that the fruit tank smoothie shop it’s just right there. Something refreshing before you’re on your way. Super cool this is my first time seeing an egg in a glass jar like that. Well in that variation. I’ve had quail eggs with oysters as a shot drink. I think they call it an oyster shooter over here. But I would totally love to try what you had. The coffee and tea absolutely looks amazing. She’s so nice! I think I’ve tried jackfruit chips before and it is very yummy. Man this was such a great food tour and it’s giving me some hunger pains. You know Joel, I don’t watch very many KZbin channels as well. Probably just a handful. Yes sir your lot is a part of the handful ha ha. Say hello to Li for me. By the way I noticed the photo at the end with you and Li At the beach. So precious. Don’t forget to send me an invite to your wedding. We will definitely try to make it ha ha God bless you brother

[@pannachaw9492]

Stray dogs? My mother used to do that when she was able and while living out in the country. She would take in stray dogs, which at one time, there were 14 of them. Now that she is much older and has moved to town to live with me, she only has one little dog. All those stray dogs were well fed and well taken care of until they took their last breath. I remember one, mom named her Trixie, she was a butter color fox hound. She knew we loved her, and she loved us, and she always looking out for us. One day, we went further into our farm to collect firewood. We made a few trips, and she was trotting along with us, both ways. The last trip I was so exhausted, so I told my mother and my sister to go ahead while I was trying to rest a little. Trixie was trotting along with them, but when she didn't see me, she looked back and saw me sitting down, catching my breath; she walked back and stood next to me so I could lean against her body. She passed away a few years after that. I sure miss her. She was a special dog. So, my point to the story is this, when we give love, we get love in return.

[@missbiggs9437]

What a lovely story and so true; dogs are empathetic and will love and comfort you just because. So wonderful of your mom and uncle to look out and provide for them! 🐶

Hey joel, Have you ever done a food video in thai language? For Thai people who watches your youtube vidoes..

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Hi Dee!!! My buddy Peam asks me to start a new channel for this.... quite regularly :). my only answer is, it takes a very, very large amount of work to manage one channel, the idea of starting a new (idea, niche, etc., it is a big task). But yes, I originally wanted to do much more in Thai language... and then I learned how KZbin actually 'works,' and how unfair (unequal) it is. And original ideas were postponed...

[@thiamleong70]

breakie for champions, and an amazing variety of foods. sure beats boring cereals and oats. i sure remember those freeze dry jack fruits. i had them when i was in vietnam and can even buy them at my local chinese grocery but unfortunately, not the same price. look forward to your next food adventure.

Joel - she made strong tea, added 2 whole lemons & honey......... Li - mmmmmmmm....bigggg sips... Epic Tea!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Cheers on that, yeah I was already leaving and I saw her making this, just always happy to see the simple way succeeding in the modern time… Because the taste really is better when you know it’s made authentic. Ha ha somehow the mental link really matters

[@missbiggs9437]

Hmmmm, not so sure about this breakfast and nix on the eggs - neither 100/1000 year old or today’s fresh laid dunked in liquid of any kind - I’ll stick to coffee ‘n toast; breakfast got a whole lot better when you went to the Fruit Tank and the coffee stand in the market ... now you’re starting to speak my language! But of course I loved watching everything in the video. 🥰🥰🥰

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Hi Miss Biggs :-) after just one year living in Southeast Asia I realized that I had been missing out on a WORLD of breakfast flavor... I can see that you have a bright future in this as well if you are used to coffee and toast, the same way that I was…

Loved this video, as we all love all of your videos! Near to the end of the video where you bought a sour drink at the market, the way you handed her the money, did you experience that in Kenya? Here in South Africa if someone hands you money in that way it is a show of respect. Thank you for always being so humble and appreciative of everything and everyone around you!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Hi Narina! I’m sorry to have missed this message :-) I just noticed it today and yes, I do remember that from Africa but I remember clearly, I learned this for myself and started doing it after a trip to Myanmar. So I guess there are many cultural things like this around the world where people adopt some motion or movement to show respect, I just really appreciated it from Myanmar but this is cool, you’re right I remember it from Africa as well ♥️

The food looks good. I’m jealous you got to have that. I like to add dry chill flake and vinegar in my guay jub. I wonder if Kanom Koo and Pa Tong Go is the same thing.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Hi Wanjai!! Thank you for the message and this is a great question :-) basically the recipe is the same, just the size is different, but even here in Thailand there are many different sizes you can finds, just depending on the person who makes it

[@tribalwoman138]

Just from your videos of Thailand, I love it there and the people. even some of the food sounds good. Being vegan I don't eat some of it, but I've found several vegan copy cat recipes that make some of those recipes. I know it won't taste exactly the same without the meat or fish but I have liked everything that I've tried so far. The people there are so friendly. Thank you for the adventure.

Century eggs or Millenium eggs, Songmei eggs (a lot of names) ...first experience was in Shanghai. A must try...may be easier to start with quail eggs! ;-)

[@eamesho7723]

Awesome looking breakast.. I believe the Century egg, or skin egg, gets its name from its appearance before being de-shelled. They have this layer of grain husk encasing the egg which gives them the appearance of having an outer skin. Another fun fact, the origin of the fried couple dough stick has an interesting folklore. Its chinese name is you tiao (oily sticks) but theres also another name for it which is you char gui (oil fried devil). The devil here represents a traitor during the Song dynasty to frame a patriotic general back in the days, and the common folk created this dish as a act of silent protest, with each side of the dough representing the traitorous official and the other being his wife. I know .. this is a farcry of the romantic couple dip idea 555

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Whoooooa!!! Eames, wow! I appreciate the first bit but then the second part, the story is amazing, so super cool thank you! I have these little snacks many times with 豆浆豆腐花。， I remember in China having them with the larger version as well… But the story is just so awesome I will not forget this :-) thank you so much I‘m gonna show Li as well

I wish I can learn the language as fast as you. When I look at the thai characters they all looks the same to me. Haha, Thai food is the best. The century eggs looks very high quality.. I can imagine how the egg yolk taste like. Yummy. The koey chup look goood.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

That’s great if you are starting to learn! Any progress you make is always going to be worth it with a language. Always difficult and always very well with the time. If you’re curious, I think I started three or four hours a day for three months, and that was good enough for getting to the point where I could take care of myself traveling around, reading signs, able to learn new words without (asking every word :) ) so yes you can do it for sure! Anyone can, just put in the time.
