Khao Soi Islam (ร้านข้าวซอยอิสลาม) - Best Thai Biryani in Chiang Mai

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh man, this makes me want to leave Canada and come back to Thailand and specifically Chiang Mai. We had so much fun living there eating Khao Soi almost daily :)

[@MarkWiens]

Hey Samuel & Audrey, would be great to have you both back in Thailand.

[@shahesfelazi8549]

Mark Wiens u guys should do a vid together!

[@mohamedansar8432]

Really appreciate ur time and effort going to halal places.. gives me the confidence of travelling to thailand without worry of food.. thanks Mark!

[@aradaradie5394]

It is clear that U really enjoy the foods from your facial expressions. I love it and that makes me full before eating.

[@kaotaku]

I've watched all your videos during the Ramadan fasting period haha. Going all out when Ramadan is over! Really love your videos! It shows how much you appreciate food and from different cultures. Keep it up

[@Locut0s]

That little mini history lesson you did at the beginning was a fantastic touch Mark! I already love your video's but that little touch made it seem just like something off broadcast cable!

[@deadfarang]

I'm going to Chang Mai just for this Biryani dish, looks absoloutley immense!!!!

[@RABthefirst]

You can always tell when Mark isn't blown away by a dish. Good video and thanks.

[@MarkWiens]

Thanks Bobby B

[@dannyf8426]

Mark, thank you for all of your videos. They inspired me to wanting to try the restaurants you showed in your videos. I was in Chiang Mai during Loy Khratong Festival and tried Khao Soi Islam. The goat biryani I had was excellent!

[@Matthew567byheart]

Thanks for telling us which hot sauce you used and why. I think it will encourage more people to try the sauces when they see how much you show how the sauce improves the flavor. Serious food envy going on here! Blessings to you and yours!

[@MarkWiens]

Great, thank you for the feedback Matthew567byheart, will try to be more specific with sauces in future vids. Thank you for your support.

[@Zohirul-Jewel]

"A well rounded bite" This is the only video in the world where I liked that word.

[@alansaxon]

Loved the way you introduced some historical background to the dish. Keep with the faces Mark, it brings a huge smile to mine!!! Loving what you two are doing!

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you for the feedback Alan Saxon

[@jbruner182]

Hahaaaa MAN! Just had to watch this (after re-reading the article), I love this video. Just so pure, straight-forward, single restaurant review, just awesome man. These were surely the days when you made a lot of die-hard fans, awesome man, great video, great descriptions, great food. Peace for now homie!

[@MarkWiens]

When you're in #ChiangMai , here's a restaurant you don't want to miss for their Thai style rice biryani... New Video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGeyhI2GjtRlpdk #ThaiFood #biryani #rice #foodvideo

[@dwirianto]

Your biryani topping is like that famous asian rendang, isnt it?

[@MarkWiens]

***** Hey Dwi, I guess it's comparable, but rendang would probably have more gravy to it.

[@KarthikBhatElectron]

Mark Wiens Mark, Can you come to Mysore, South India and try The Mysore Masala Dosa. I want to see your expression after eating the delicacy.

[@andyfarm6169]

[@LoveResidentEvil4]

Mark, it's just so entertaining to watch you eat EVERYTIME! What's the best food (most delicious is in your opinion) you have had so far?

[@MsLansones]

The Biryani looks delish Mark. The rice alone looks uber flavorful... Now I'm hungry.

[@MarkWiens]

Thanks MsLansones, biryani was definitely the highlight for me.

[@TheSpritz0]

BEST place so far in your latest trip, this place looks just AMAZING!!!

[@MarkWiens]

[@georgethomas9436]

Hello Mark. It just occurred to me that when I was in the military USAF in 1974 I loved the foods. Street and local places. Have you ever tried the ... what we called "rice bugs". Have you tried any of that condiment with your foods? I really enjoy your blog and video's .

[@breedaoleary6801]

Hi mark just subscribed love ur videos happy eating

[@joy2504]

Looks delicious, even though it is mild. great video, thanks as always. How are you liking the show you are in?

[@MarkWiens]

Hi Herchel Niño I. Baliwas thank you very much for your support, I appreciate you watching.

[@TessCooks4u]

Looks interesting! Do you ever go back for seconds? What has been your favorite Thai food so far? Thanks for sharing. Luv your travels.

[@MarkWiens]

Tess Cooks 4u thank you for watching. Yes, I sometimes eat seconds, but these days I try to eat less than when I was a few years younger. My favorite food is from the south of Thailand - "gaeng tai pla" and "goong pad sataw"

[@iinmaryandi1670]

My mouth watery

[@riazhasan1199]

i like the fact you like chilli! being an Indian I cant survive without spice too...

[@trentcarpenter654]

[@MarkWiens]

Glad you love Thai food too simplicity244

[@Neoewu]

Hey Mark, Over the few days I've been watching your videos and so one question came up in my mind, how could you keep yourself so slim? Thank you for your videos.

[@DerpyGameplay]

Yes TheHeavenFlower, hope you can come back soon.

[@onewinter9411]

thanks Mark Wiens... I'll go to Chiang Mai end of July so I'll know where to get halal Khao Soi

[@larsnelson6554]

You gotta go to Central America! Pupusas, Pan y Cafe, Nicaraguan street food, Gallo pinto. So much to explore!

[@MarkWiens]

I'd love to in the future Lars Nelson

[@bebebutterfield1]

Yummy Mark and TY for sharing.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you for watching bebebutterfield1

[@angelac.george8209]

Mark, you make the food look so good! Now Im hungry and its 2:15am and in bed lol

[@keninchicago]

If you are still in Chiang Mai - you should film a night out at Hoan Soontaree Vechanont 208 Pa Tan Road,Pa Tan, Chiang Mai. Also, Whole Earth Restaruant near night market. Both restaurants have great food and a nice ambiance - but are very different from each other.

[@nijokongapally4791]

Best dishes nice food video👍💯😍💖

[@popkill1989]

You should do a 50 faces of Mark videos , im pretty sure that would be hilarious :D! Your doing an awesome job , replied to my Girlfriends email , for what to eat in Krabi , and she was telling me ! Thanks :)

[@joyjoyoo]

[@MarkWiens]

[@eddiegibbons6428]

Wicked food again mark 👍

[@MarkWiens]

[@ehlay214]

I love that

[@melluv5130]

I love ur videos😍💜😆

[@hafizahzakaria7902]

love your video!

[@sanzoparty1066]

Mark, I wanted to say that you are a wonderful writer! Was journalism your major at ASU? The dishes .....oh yum!!!!!

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you sanzoparty1066, no, I majored in Global Studies, but had I known at the time what I was going to do (or what I'm doing now), I would have probably taken a few journalism classes for sure.

[@cwee23]

Khao soi looks like Singapore local food Laksa with no beef. Singapore version has Prawns and fish cakes. (Similar coconut curry soup base)

[@MarkWiens]

Hi cwee lim, yah it can definitely be compared to laksa. Now that's another dish I love.

[@jjjabbour5630]

Great video!! Mark

[@MarkWiens]

Thanks JJ Jabour

[@outdoor-escape2515]

Oh man , your VDO make me want to go home :(

[@perdomot]

The food definitely looked better this time around than the last couple of street food videos. Would it be safe to say that established restaurants are generally better than the street food stalls?

[@MarkWiens]

Hi Perdomot, thanks, glad you liked this one. That's a tough thing to say, but yes, I would say that overall, some of the best food is found at the local "shophouse" style, or maybe what can be called "indoor street food," restaurants throughout Thailand.

[@777cpt]

Hi Mark, I'm currently planning my 1st trip to Chiang Mai in September, but as it will be my first time there I have no idea as to what part of chiang mai to stay in. Im not looking for any nightlife, only night markets & shopping malls and lots of street food to sample :) If you could recommend somewhere to stay I would be very grateful

[@melina84able]

Mark, why not visit my country, Indonesia, also? We have many awesome foods here too :)

[@monalock]

Slurping noodle make it more yummy :3

[@yewkiamakuahui2296]

That khao soi look a lot like the Penang curry noodles. Light curry sauce, yellow noodles. Of course, the Penang curry noodles do not have beef in it.

[@blur28]

I've heard that Khao Soi Islam is no longer in this location in Chiang Mai, would you by any chance know where they have moved to ?

[@GREATBUMEST]

Hi Mark :) great video as always. I just wanna ask some questions. Have u ever eaten dog meat in Thailand? And how to avoid eating dog meat in Thailand? I wish you will answer me :) I wanna visit Thailand because I heard their food are so delicous but I wouldn't want to ACCIDENTALLY eat dog meat while trying their street foods :) thank u btw for always making awesome video. I wish you will come back to India again :) (not from India btw lol but their food looks so good)

[@poprall3336]

GREATBUMEST actually Thai people hate the meats from Dog or pet something like that . It’s kind of wired in Thailand if you make a menu from pet !! Don’t worry I’m sure if you come to Bangkok Thailand . I won’t face with any dog or cat or something weird here ^^

[@duniyanoorani7512]

omg yummmmm

[@kaidiau]

when are you gonna take a trip to Taiwan Mark? It's a food paradise over there ;)

[@MarkWiens]

Hey Kai H, Taiwan is on my list, would love to visit. Are you from Taiwan?

[@kaidiau]

Yes, I was born and raised in Taiwan, then I moved to Florida about 7 years ago, I still do go back and visit my family throughout the years, but I've been craving the food so much haha

[@yasminlovianchannel9036]

this is yummy expressions.. makes me hungry .. again !

[@poponanaung750]

Malay call mee curry...Burmese call ​အုံးနှို့ ခေါက် ဆွဲ...Thai allso have Very thick coconut cream all are same i like so much

[@hobomaximus1765]

saying "For sure" 3x in almost 10 seconds lol. @ 4:33 Lets us know ur American. Congrats on the TV food job! I always told you, i knew youd be on TV sometime.

[@nassirismail]

Sort of laksa in Malaysia & Singapura.

[@chempakasari3594]

The dish is more like curry mee in Malaysia...

[@ninacubana]

mashallah

[@100newkid]

Could you at least explain what the flavors are? What it tastes like? Is it smoky, salty, what we can relate it to? Kind of hard to tell when it's just moaning and "oh that's some good stuff...." comments.

[@MarkWiens]

Thanks for the feedback 100newkid, will try to explain better in future vids.

[@giamoore742]

Did you eat raw garlic? How is it? I would think it would be too strong. Thanks for the videos!

[@MarkWiens]

Hey Gia Moore, yes I really love raw garlic. It is strong, but I'm a bit of a fanatic of overly strong and pungent things!

[@greg4402]

Well i guess biryani is famous everywhere.

[@pichayaruchangkun5868]

Should have gone to Khao Soi Prince.

[@MRACPDCarReviews]

Why are the restaurants not enclosed with AC units and stuff?

[@MarkWiens]

MRACPD Alpha Thailand is warm, and a great place for open air restaurants year round!

[@kaykayvanessafly]

I wonder if your wife gets hungry staring at the food your eating? x)
