Epic BANGKOK THAI FOOD - Gigantic Crab Fried Rice

Today we are going for a doozy of a Thai food tour. When you think of food in Thailand things like spicy, salty, sweet, sour and umami come to mind. Well imagine all of that and then add a ton of crab into the mix. Now you are in Thai food heaven.
I kick off this tour Here Hai (maps.app.goo.gl/7dGa5MMYPcT9x...) a Bib Gourmand Michelin rated restaurant in Ekkamai. This is one of the few times that a Michelin rated restaurant has lived up to the hype for me. And it is insanely delicious
After finishing off a Thai crab feast, I head over to Heng Hoitod Chawlae (maps.app.goo.gl/tbNicaCe98wZQ...) for their version of hoithod. A delicious oyster pancakes/omelette that I would eat eleventy billion times before ever touching a pad thai.
And then a finish off a lesser know hidden gem in Ekkamai called Hom Duan (maps.app.goo.gl/Dyt9E9Cu2aqsc.... This hidden gem is going to become very well know, so get your spot while you still can. They focus on Northern Thai food and they are killing it.
Drop me a comment and let me know which dish you want to try from the video.

Sorry about that, but I might miss it as much as you every time I leave this amazing country

ประเทศไทยไม่เหมาะกับนักท่องเที่ยวที่ต้องการควบคุมน้ำหนัก, ต้องการควบคุมความอ้วน หรือควบคุมคอลเลสเตอรอล เพราะว่าที่นี่(ประเทศไทย)มีแต่ของอร่อย 🤤🤤🤤

[@PureDetour]

ไม่พบคำโกหกในคำแถลงของคุณ❤️🤤

[@kul_thum]

Thai food and food in Thailand are so delicious. The ingredients are good quality also the cooking style is the art of mixing of taste. There are tons of food here you can choose and enjoy them everyday. Most of them are not expensive and their cost are reasonable. Thailand is not the best, rich. Most people living here are happy and comfortable. We welcome good people from everywhere no matter who they are. People have many choices and feel free to stay here. People can have suitable selection for themselves with kindness and good skill. Please enjoy good things good places here in THAILAND.

[@PureDetour]

100% correct. The multitude of flavours in every dish is why it is my favourite cuisine in the world

[@drewcorry5056]

Absolutely love crab. Winner hands dow for me was the crab omelette, definitely would have had 2 Cokes to wash it down with. Excellent all around

[@PureDetour]

Thank you my friend. Unfortunately the only beverages I consume are water, coffee, beer or wine and the occasional juice, so no cokes for me.

[@TheBacolodFoodHunters]

First to comment! Love your videos! i see Emz!

[@PureDetour]

You're awesome

[@ATC_Radio]

Carinderia style in bangkok! Wow!!! You pick what you want! Hehe

[@PureDetour]

Yup, very much like a canteen or Carinderia

[@WisutJindapahn]

thanks for sharing wonderful meal that's so enjoyable.

[@PureDetour]

Thank you for tuning in and the kind words my friend

[@sadohrs8431]

I love this particular food tour! Soooo my kind of chow! Noticed that you eat like a Filipino now, with a spoon and a fork 😂. By the way, did you forget how the Chicharon (deep fried pork skin with fat) tastes like in the Philippines? Looks exactly like what you ordered in the third resto you went to.

[@nattm6553]

most thai eat with spoon and fork to..except noodles...

That so delicious bro 🙏🏻💕🇹🇭

Absolutely my friend❤️🤤

[@ATC_Radio]

We have something like that here in the Ph 🇵🇭Geoff. Its called Oyster omelette. Predominantly available around Malabon Area!

[@PureDetour]

Yes, I have them there. These are bit a different because of the rice flour and Tapioca flour used to make all the crispy bits. But very similiar

[@user-dv8bx3xw3c]

ร้านเฮียให้ อร่อยจริงๆครับ

[@PureDetour]

อย่างแน่นอน🤤

[@imonmywaybyoreo]

อร่อยจนหลุดนอกโลกไปเลย😂

[@PureDetour]

ออกจากโลกนี้อย่างแน่นอน😁

[@ATC_Radio]

In the ph 🇵🇭, we call it Chicharon or Chicharones. Deep fried pork fat, good with hot sauce with beer!

[@PureDetour]

That is exactly what they were. But had I said Chicharron nobody but Filipinos would understand what I was talking about. And I am trying to stop comparing food with dishes from the Philippines. I'm not sure if people find it annoying or not.

[@ATC_Radio]

I missed you saying that Geoff! Haha

[@PureDetour]

STFD?

[@oxoelfoxo]

douse with a little bit, hehehe

[@PureDetour]

Come on Elf, it's chili sauce what did you expect?😂

[@oxoelfoxo]

@@PureDetour with liquids/sauces it's kinda hard to think of a verb that implies a modest amount---spritz if you use a mister and perhaps sprinkle but that's more for powders i guess. drip?

[@oxoelfoxo]

monotone color palette but SO. MUCH. CRAB. no wonder it's not cheap.

[@PureDetour]

That Bib Gourmand recommendation from Michelin also plays a huge part in that price As to the colour, you are correct. No matter how many node trees I built, I could not get balanced. I really need to learn to colour grade better, but I pushed this one to the limit of being ready to be released so I had to go with it. I bought a few new shirts that lighter coloured from my typical dark blues, black and charcoal gray so that added another element into this

[@mongkoljitchuen5573]

How did you know about this restaurant?

[@PureDetour]

Here Hai is all over social media and I tried to film there when I was here a few years ago and couldn't get in. I should say I wasn't willing to wait to get in at that point in time. Heng Hoitod Chawlae someone recommended to me that lives in the building I am staying in when told them I was going to film in Ekkamai Hom Duan, someone I know from Chiang Mai that lives in Bangkok now recommended it. He swears that it will be the next Michelin rated restaurant in Bangkok. And after eating there, he may not be wrong.

[@Nicolast457]

❤❤

[@PureDetour]

Thank you my friend❤️

[@nattm6553]

Try to eat at REAL local Thai restaurants and not the tourist ones with menus in Chinese Korean English and Russian filled with other foreigners eating and the food will be ALOT better and cheaper. Just a tip=)

[@PureDetour]

This entire video was filmed in Ekkamai. I don't think you can find a single spot in Ekkamai that won't have English on their menu. I am staying in On Nut and I have yet to see a place here that doesn't also have English on the Menu. I may have found one today out near MOCA with awesome food. I went for beer, but turns out their food is fantastic too. And I am all ears if you have any recommendations. Thanks for the great feedback

[@nattm6553]

@@PureDetour Well after +15 years living and working in Krungthep (bangkok) i do have a pretty good idea about the city and where u are =). Try to leave the farang/tourist comfortzone and se REAL Bangkok where they are no English menus and real normal Thais live? Just take mrt or bts 15-20 minutes from citypart to a random station and explore..i think u will be amazed how much better the food is and how nice ppl are

[@darrylk808]

You look like you are actually losing weight? I figured out your secret... Em is eating everything!🤣 JK.

[@PureDetour]

Do I? It sure doesn't feel that way every time I take my shirt off. Maybe It is all going to my belly.
