Epic Soft Shell Crab Curry at One Of The Best Restaurants in Bangkok! - Bangkok Day 12

[@freespirit5130]

I love how Mark focuses on the best food, and isn’t into vested interests or being paid off by restaurants to promote them. It’s interesting that some of the best food is actually from some of the cheapest most down to earth restaurants.

[@naidakhan5018]

The love for food in his face it's soooo real,u can tell he is a true foodie ❤

[@bruyo1717]

I think Mark's reaction to the egg and soft shell crab was the happiest I've ever seen him be...must have been out of the world amazing!!

[@oliamoliakorea4218]

Mark Weins....I literally always put your channel on in the morning as my meditation while I am doing other things...because your voice of excitement...on the back-ground the scream of your son and whenever you say 'ying...Ying" your wife has made me feel good to start a day. Thank you!

[@saikrishnan8402]

18:59 I have not seen anyone this excited for food

[@83devildog]

Marks videos are my safe comfort zone. i am a 3 time combat Marine veteran and as soon as i put on a video of his i am immediately in a good mood. Something about his happiness makes me happy. Keep em coming brother.

[@JABn4e]

Does it mean I've been watching too many of your vlogs when I totally remember the soft shell crab restaurant? I do not ever remember seeing such joy and ecstasy on your face as you ate that crab. I would die from the spice but I would try it just to have that look of rapture you had Mark. Ying always looks like she's having such fun. Well done you two.

[@MarkWiens]

+JANICE BALL Haha, thank you very much Janice!

[@mikeota1273]

me too! oh, and congrats on the nba championship. go raptors! + drake. i'm assuming your from canada, if not, my bad.

[@carolynharris6853]

Hi guys, Mark is just making his face show the excitement of enjoying his food. Everywhere travels and through every country. Appreciation for each bite and country

[@lbran24]

Love how excited you get about food it's contagious! That crab looked AMAZING! Happy holidays to you and Ying!

[@martynbrooks6015]

After my cancer surgery I was not allowed to eat ..only food was thru drip.. I had terrible hunger pains ..your videos helped me so much ..thankyou

[@pooyapeighami]

Oh Mark thank you so much for your videos! This one really reminded me the best period of my life when I lived in BKK. I lived just 300m away from Anusawari and remember all theses good food shops around this area. I used to go out for dining with my Thai friends to this calm and quiet neighborhoods. Bangkok is really amazing and one of my absolute favorite cities for living!

[@MarkWiens]

+Pouya Peighami Hey Pouya, great to hear from you, glad you lived around Anusawaree. I lived in the area as when I first came to Thailand.

[@irmasaud9492]

Many years ago my husband and I were in Bangkok and we ate at a restaurant that when you went in they gave you a cart and you picked out your vegetables and your seafood. The fish was still alive flopping on the refrigerated counter. You checked out giving them your cart. We passed through a line of chefs cooking on woks flaming up while they cooked the food. We were led to an outside beautiful area with white tablecloth covered tables. When your food was cooked it arrived hot and very tasty, I had jumbo prawns and a wonderful fruit I had never seen to this day. I was wondering if that restaurant still existed. It was a wonderful experience Thank you Mark and your beautiful wife for providing the travel and food experience we could only dream of. .

[@threestepssideways1202]

17:21 I literally thought you were going to go 1990's Total Recall with your eyes ! Does look super though, love soft-shell crab, keep enticing Mark, I wish you all the very best.

[@MarkWiens]

+James O'Halloran Thank you James!

[@Obelixlxxvi]

The chanting in the background and food in the foreground.....Temple of Zen!

[@Smaribel]

thank you for writing back to me that shows me that you really care about your fans!!! your awesome!!😊

[@MarkWiens]

+Maribel Sanchez You're welcome, thank you for your support!

[@willardconway6267]

Just love the how smooth and comfortable Mark is. Great to watch him do his thing and educate people around the world about food from many cultures.

[@dschonsie]

That look, when you took the first bite of the soft shell crabb curry. Like a child opening christmas presents. ; )

[@MarkWiens]

+dschonsie Haha, the best present ever!

[@IsyahSalam]

it made me laugh 😂 so hard, Mark can really cheer you up😄

[@amyrivers9792]

Isyah Salam I agree, I always have a smile on my face when I watch his videos. I use it as a distraction to the pain I'm in constantly.

[@malcolmmitchell6397]

Mark your videos are absolutely FANTASTIC !!!!! As one who loves to see other countries' cuisine and the preparation of their native foods I love your videos. Keep up the wonderfully interesting Videos.

[@ChowPowPow]

I also enjoyed this episode Day of mark and ying! Lol these dishes looked outstanding and unique in all different ways -- that egg yolk tho!! *drools*

[@MarkWiens]

+Charmaine Brown Thank you Charmaine!

[@kenthios]

One of the most appetizing video from your Bangkok's series Mark. Those dishes are definitely something out of this world.

[@Miss_Judy]

I love how you tell how much things cost - I always wonder that - your videos always make me so hungry :) lol love your channel :)

[@mariacorazonbautista7143]

p

[@rsrdevelopment]

I went to Soei several times, its spectacular, the Fish Curry and Crab are outstanding, worth the trip from Victory Monument, you can walk there its just 23.6 minutes away, come hungry and get there early. I am salivating just writing this.

[@tomjefferson9513]

dat smile and head 90° position when you put a food to your mouth

[@javascriptenthusiast1877]

Less than 90 deg maybe, impossible

[@bigtchorizo8054]

You noticed those mannerisms too. The guy is great but his mannerism look climatic..( sorry ). What is the purpose of taking such big bites? I,d really like to know.

[@victorwei2139]

Can't help but to smile too, Mark's got the best expression!!

[@Ralphie_Boy]

*Mark, I've been an avid fan of all your travels and meals but man I've never seen you so happy eating that soft shell crab dish and fried egg salad, Wow Mark enjoy happy holidays and a safe and healthy 2016 brother!*

[@MarkWiens]

+Ralph Cohen Thank you Ralph, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@Ralphie_Boy]

DITTOS BROTHER!!

[@xiangcclc]

that crab curry looks delicious. the expression on your face of sheer enjoyment is priceless

[@lagoldentitaniumleklai2534]

Thanks for uploading Mark and Ying.

[@llcoolbean4759]

Two weeks ago my girlfriend and I took a 45 minute taxi ($3) to Soei and rushed to get there before 9PM. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my entire life. We got a ton of different dishes but by far was the Soft Shell Crab Curry. Absolutely fantastic, incredible. Amazing! Thanks for the tip Mark!

[@BOOMBZA]

Mark does a great job pronouncing the names of the food, but I'd still love to see Ying's face and see what kind of reaction she has haha.

[@nancysmith2578]

I really love watching someone who enjoys their food as much as I do. Food is the greatest pleasure in life and brings us closer to others. Thank you for your videos!

[@theubermensche1]

You should really write a guide for off-the-beaten path Bangkok. Bangkok clearly has a lot more than Sukumvhit, Khao San and the yellow temple - would love to see the bits that the locals go to!

[@MarkWiens]

+theubermensche1 Thank you very much, that's a great suggestion. I did included everything within these guides in a free ebook as well: migrationology.com/2weeksinbangkok/ There definitely is so much to discover in Bangkok - even when I live here!

[@ncnorthbound]

Mark, I absolutely love your enthusiasm of the food!!! Love, Love, Love your videos, keep them coming!!!

[@SentinelPrimek]

My goodness. I want the curry soft shell crab and the pepper corn version so bad.

[@AlishaArlene]

Myyyyyyy goodness. I ate dinner just a bit ago, and I'm STILL salivating at the sight of that incredibly delectable curry soft shell crab dish!!! I ADORE curry sauces! Probably why Thai food is one of my favorite in the entire world. SO jealous right now!! lol

[@Me.oh.mai.]

Mark, you and Ying should go visit a Hmong village in Chiang Rai! Many of your Hmong American Fans would love to see it! And I would be able to share the video on a Facebook Group page with over 15,000 members who are passionate about the Hmong community. :)

[@samthepoet107]

First time I see Ying looks so happy smiling at the Muay Thai show. Now we know the secret to make her smile. It's a bit expensive for a foreigner but well worth it to put a smile on a lady's face.

[@MarkWiens]

+Wayne Samuel Thanks Wayne, definitely!

[@cusimac]

Ying was getting a little too enthusiastic about watching guys beat each other up. lol

[@tzimischristos5331]

Even the egg dish looks fantastic and the crab looks out of this world!

[@dx9967]

24:14 Omg Ying is soo cute here...

[@sfkjn2311]

Mark, just watching you having that foodgasm at the restaurant where you had the soft shell crab made me drool. What an amazing place it must be. I could literally taste it!

[@easygoing1714]

you make me more miss Thai foods back home there which I do not have them in the last 10 years, and make me very much hungry, thank you very much,, Thai guy in America

[@jif.6821]

First time I ever heard Ying say anything 24:13

[@gerry135]

+Ji F. Permission was granted.

[@rain74925]

Soei, yes, I've watched the soei episode from before and I vowed to visit that restaraunt before I die. A priority on my bucket list! Dang, I'm really hungry.

[@kirstenh.3334]

That green t-shirt was his profile!😍

[@spadedacer]

Was?

[@joegeorge2926]

Mark Wiens you're killing me with all this food!!!!! Im stuck in college, almost like a boarding school kind of college!!!! No good food here!! Keep making more videos, you're the best !!!

[@drumpdump1995]

"I'm... this is.. this is....yep" 18:14

[@Nicole-ge5qv]

I love your ability to interact with the viewer. You mentioned the fight and I said oh wow the right then you said yeah I know I've never seen one. Your awesome. Keep it up.

[@jif.6821]

14:00 Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, YUM!

[@GFINHK]

Hearing Mark get so happy about an egg is just amazing! I love food but I don't think I've ever been so excited. Absolutely awesome!!! And I love, LOVE soft shell crab!

[@hirofarre]

I like the videos that Mark makes, so don't get me wrong...I usually don't react when Mark adds -y or -ful to words that don't use those suffixes at all but when I heard him say water liquid, I had to laugh.

[@khinyioo685]

The way you eat makes me want to taste them. I am now going to cook the fried egg salad for lunch and it so happens I have got soft shell crabs in my freezer so will cook that too in egg curry from you tube recipes.

[@strbuxgurl818]

I think you've done the boat noodle restaurant and the other railway side restaurant before. Always makes me hungry!

[@MarkWiens]

+strbuxgurl818 Thank you!

[@ritadavis5669]

Mark Wiens I just love your videos I like how you respond to how the food taste wish I could try that soft shell crab

[@mauimom1246]

I love Mark's eating face, when he tastes something really delicious, and his eyes just totally light up, lol! GO, MARK!

[@Machogutten]

"A bit of chilli as well.." Proceeds to add chilli on the whole noodle XD

[@janevanskike2101]

I’m a novice at all the hot chili oil and other hot spices. But I love the food. Have took up into the heat!

[@kayeesp5862]

I am using your videos right now to guide me around bangkok. Thank you so much!!!!

[@rahxephon52]

Mark plus runny yokes = 18+ hahahaha

[@dindiemaryeta4082]

geweldig jij doet zo goed...duimen voor jou en ook gefeliciteerd voor je zoon wat net geboren is

[@ukhtylina1172]

i like the way mark weins eating...huhu😍👍

[@oldbutbold]

No matter how much I eat, the moment I watch Mark's videos, he makes me go hungry again!

[@Nicole-wt5yq]

I love boat noodles. I'd love to have some in Thailand one day. Also, I just wanted to say, your wife is so beautiful.

[@McLarenCleaningServices]

Just recently found your channel in my quest to learn to cook southeast Asian cuisine. Really good channel mate. Impressive

[@kkz201]

mark, i completely understand your giddiness over food joy

[@MarkWiens]

+kkz201 Yes, glad you do too!

[@timh5962]

I've loved the entire Bangkok series, but that Soei visit was the highlight. Tempted to hop on a plane to BKK. Thanks once again, Mark!

[@MarkWiens]

+Tim H Thank you Tim, I think that was the highlight for me too!

[@Jim58223]

Delicious face ? Is that what you call it Mark? loved the video one of the best ones in a while. I can tell you really enjoyed the food.

[@MarkWiens]

+Jim Ferdinando Thank you Jim!

[@taza98]

I have to say that fried egg was the most appetising Thai fried egg I have ever seen and Mark, your reaction to it was the most enthusiastic reaction I have ever seen to a Thai fried egg....I think probably justified in this case though; it did look amazing. Another spicylicious (another great made up but appropriate adjective!) video.... great work, Mark and Ying. Kop khun mahk krap!

[@uusa]

damn lol man its just an egg

[@norrieblackeby1041]

Your appreciation of food is legendary! I'm inspired. Thank you!

[@wooman27]

Thai food must be really healthy bc you never get fat 😑 lucky

[@AWDYDOOD]

+drew some of the curries can be really oily and fat due to the amount of coconut milk, however i think he is never fat due to the high amount of walking he does xD

[@VONisHope]

+drew or mark just have fast metabolism

[@Someone3856]

+AWDYDOOD That type of fat is healthy. I think it has largely due to his fast metabolism, walking a lot, and not eating lots of sweets/processed foods. From his videos it seems like his diet consists of wholesome foods with little to no sweets/processed foods.

[@irenechng5637]

+AWDYDOOD I think that he is never fat because he ate too much spicy food , and also he does a lot of walking

[@victoriawalker7567]

You always sway to the right with a huge smile every time when you really enjoy a dish

[@notmyworld44]

Mark, you eat like a fat guy, but you are so skinny!!! I eat like a fat guy and I am fat. What the heck is up with that??? Could it be because I am several decades older than you are and sit around on my large backside watching your videos all day?

[@insaneirishND]

+Wayne Warmack 1. He is younger 2. He moves (walks and I'm sure exercises daily) 3. He eats a lot of fish and rice and veges (digests easily meaning metabolism is high).

[@hawaii-state-of-mind]

He has high metabolism brother.

[@carlstrand87]

He does something called excercise daily.. you lazy fat man.

[@billyhkc]

carlstrand87 lmfao how rude

[@ixming3967]

carlstrand87 Your So Rude

[@MimiTruongMay98]

Thai people do love their coconuts!! They love to add coconuts and coconut milk on everything!!

[@Mnguyen92]

That yolk loll

[@JaAoh89]

ร้านเส่ยคือเทพของจริงพี่มาร์ค Soey Restaurant is real legend

[@AngelaBebeful]

No offence but I wonder if your wife gets to eat :(

[@russelm9916]

Of course she does

[@tosht2515]

+qiao yi ooi (sigh)

[@AngelaBebeful]

What I meant was he always eat big bites when they order different type of foods and the food left only a few bite

[@seggiarmandi]

+qiao yi ooi but you didn't see what ying did to the foods behind the camera :p

[@tosht2515]

+Seggi Armandi Yes indeed. Mark commented in the past that Ying often eats other dishes first prior to her taking over the camera and/or starts the shared dishes after the beautiful photos are taken. You can actually see this in the crab dish; notice that a corner is already gone when Mark takes his first bite. And earlier in this series, Mark returns to the table and films Ying eating before he gets settled in. Not sure why someone would think Ying doesn't eat. Oh well.

[@blur28]

This was one of so many amazing videos of yours that I have watched over the last few days. I only just recently discovered your vlogs but I am so happy that I did. I'll be returning to Bangkok in December for the second time and after watching all of your videos I just can't wait to get back and tackle as many of these amazing finds as I can. Thank you so much for doing what you do, it really benefits us travelers with a passion for food

[@Pantezz]

Does any one else think his reaction to the foods he eats is really annoying

[@cLoKK3058]

+S7H Yeah, head tilt to the right starting to get to me lol

[@cherylbryant3125]

The farther he tips his head to the right the more he likes the food....is there anything he doesn't like????

[@tasnimahmed4931]

Sean yes

[@jamesmaddox8726]

I dislike when he stares right in to the camera. It's like he is checking himself out or staring at me. STOP IT.. OK.

[@mistyvuelee7745]

Pretty simple solution. If you don't apparently like it. Don't watch.

[@suzanx]

You are an amazing foodie! My 8 year old son enjoyed watching you so much, he's subscribed to you. If we ever go to Thailand, wish you would be our guide!

[@asyareenewkid1582]

Whenever he eats, i cringe

[@FDchick]

Yin has such a beautiful smile! Really made my day to see her in the video riding that bike and giving that huge smile! Happy Holidays to you two! :) I hope to meet you two some day!!

[@MarkWiens]

[@phuoitrinh1]

Hey Mark, I love your videos. I've been binge watching for days now! I'll definitely need to hire you and Ying when I come to visit! Thanks for making me hungry!!!

[@marzvang]

Hi Mark! I just wanted to say I watch your videos EVERYDAY, lol! I am very happy to hear that you came across my people in Bangkok, Thailand. As many people aren't aware of, the HMONG community don't have a country to call home thus we are scattered everywhere in the world. I would love to see a video of you trying authentic HMONG food. HMONG food is influenced by Thai, Laos and I'm sure from other countries as well. I have yet to find a real authentic HMONG food to really call it HMONG food bc behind it all it has some kind of influence from other countries. I grew up eating HMONG food influenced by Thai and Laos bc my parents are from there. When I watch your food videos from Thailand, I feel like I'm at home eating very similar foods. Even though HMONG people don't have a country to call home, we still manage to keep our culture strong and going but as a newer generation, our culture is fading in a lot of ways. As you can already tell I too know very little about my culture as well. Not a lot of people know about HMONG people. Please do a video in depth about what my people in Thailand or Laos eat. Thanks!

[@MarkWiens]

+MARZVANG Thank you very much for watching, really appreciate your support. I would love to do some food videos on Hmong food, that would be awesome, will try to do it! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@lauriegailnewman9517]

We absoulty love your videos.God Bless you and keep up the excellent work !

[@savathvann3672]

My family and I we watch your video at least once a day. I love foods and I cant wait to visit Thailand. Keep up the great work!!!!❤️

[@BrianFeesh]

I have never seen such a strong response from you (regarding the soft shell crab curry). It must have been super delicious.
