Mexican Dads Try Thai Food for the first time!

We asked our Mexican dads to try different Thai food! 🇹🇭💚
There's so many different Thai dishes, which should they try next?
We asked our Mexican dads ti taste test and try different Thai dishes! They tried all sorts of dishes like pad Thai, Tom kha kai, red curry, laab gai, papaya salad, som tam, mango sticky rice! What will our Mexican papahs think?! Have you ever tried Thai food before? What Thai dishes should the moms try next?

The way they describe Pad Kra Prao tells me Mexican and Thais despite being oceans apart share the same culinary soul. Pad Kra Prao is the quintessential Thai soul food. Every Thai person has a preferred combo we perfected growing up, and it just tastes like home.

[@maximilianarturo2428]

Yup! I grew up eating this breakfast lunch and dinner lol. It’s perfect. One of them even mentioned it’s perfect morning afternoon and evening too.

[@mysticseraph2213]

I didn't realise it's viewed as the quintessential Thai soul food. It makes perfect sense, though, because it's just such a perfect, complete dish, and is always my go-to because it never disappoints (well, unless they've de-spiced it because they think the white guy won't like the spice, lol). My other favourite is the Som Tum, because OMG that is the best salad ever invented (except when there's too many salted shrimp and/or fish sauce, because I haven't grown up with those flavours and sometimes I find them a tad overpowering).

[@Jumpoable]

LOL they TOTALLY understood the concept of the combination, even the egg on top (A MUST!) & laab as a "chicken ceviche" LOL

i never got it that way in thailand tho bell peppers?

[@hanifleylabi8071]

These guys are a vibe.. they are extremely open minded and aren’t looking to trash anyone’s food. And the descriptions they give proves they really do like what they are eating

[@LucienPKM]

As a person who grew up in a Mexican household and now has a Thai wife, a lot of our culinary soul/culture is surprisingly similiar. It seemed like just about all my favorite homemade dishes had a Thai equivalent that my wife ate growing up. Experiencing that in Thailand really gave me a shock and was something my wife and I bonded over.

[@mikewhocheeseharry5292]

I think Thai food can be more spicer than Mexican because they love a lot of chilies. Also, some of their dishes use fermented fish, which is funky smell, stronger smelling than fish sauce.

[@mintydoodz]

As a Thai-American who grew up in SoCal, SFV specifically, it's funny to realize how many similar ingredients we use in Thai cuisine / Mexican cuisine! Just the applications are slightly different! Like culinary besties!

[@evakeeslar1766]

Yeah they should try how we eat green mangos hahaha Mexicans add spicy + sour to sweet fruits and Thai people add spicy + sweet to sour fruits

[@jatuphongwingwan8724]

I think som tam is far more popular. Even at 2am I can still order different kinds of it.

[@dzc5231]

@@notslav6053 I mean basic food (Maybe the words I used confused you), not popular food. When Thais are in a restaurant or cafeteria in Thailand and are not sure what to eat, they usually immediately choose Pad Kaprao. The most popular food among Thais is Moo Krata (For Thai Muslims is Gai Krata). Som Tum is 2nd.

[@sweetawakening]

Agreed

[@DuhBla]

The fact that he perfectly describes Pad Krapao as a very complete dish is correct. In Thailand, some people would have this every day for breakfast or lunch. Its got the meat, the vegetables and the star egg, a little bit of spice and nice aroma. To top it all off, its cheap and easy to make. It is indeed a very complete dish.

[@unknowndeoxys00]

Sooo good, but I'm a little sad to hear the "not spicy" comments. Thai, Lao, and Indonesian food can be spicy af. If done right, even mild level is enough to throw off casual spice fans. Definitely order medium spice at least for them 😂😂

[@colkiwi]

yeah I was especially a bit disappointed to hear the papaya salad was not spicy, I think that dish is traditionally pretty spicy right? oh well at least they enjoyed everything :)

[@Zebeeze]

You can tell it's very Westernised Thai... but agreed, these cuisines should all be super spicy. Still nice seeing their reactions

[@bossl6982]

@@colkiwi yup, papaya salad is suppose to have a big kick of spiciness. Shame this one didn't have it bc Lao and Thai people definitely wouldn't like it if it wasn't spicy enough. Perhaps the producers were trying to play it safe.

[@yknx4]

They probably have American-based levels of spiciness while Mexican food is at the same level of traditional Thai food. So that's why it wasn't spicy

[@theresamnsota3925]

One of my favorite restaurants here in Wisconsin is a Hmong restaurant. The family that runs it was in a refugee camp in Thailand after fleeing Laos before coming to the States. They offer papaya salad either Lao or Thai style. I always get the Thai style. However even though it’s a restaurant in the Upper Midwest, both styles have a healthy dose of spice. Of course I’m pretty sure it’s still on the mild side. Great, now I want papaya salad and that restaurant is an hour from my house.

The thai dishes are very well balanced. They have sweet and savory at the same time, you have spice as well with creamy. It's flavorful without being extreme in any direction.

I love the reaction that I've seen, all is good that Latino and Thai have a lot in common imo. One thing I would like to point out is that : "Pad kra pow" is normally cooked with Thai holy basil (this one is essential due to its unique smell), Protein of your choice, Minced bird eye chilli, Garlic. and your could topped that off with Sunny sided up egg. While adding bell pepper or green bean is not frowned upon but it's not normally seen in most of the restaurant (Also feel free to correct me if i'm wrong). Anyway love your video.

Most times I've had it in Thailand it included Thai long bean, but yes I've never seen any other vegetables in it.

Thanks for sharing and appreciate your help for making the world know our cuisine. Just need to describe some information to correct the misunderstanding. We never use ball pepper in the pad-kra-pao menu. Most of this menu is made with any meat you want, chilly, garlic and of course ka-pao or basil in English. Stir fry and seasoning with soy sauce, oyster sauce or fish sauce depending on the recipe. On top with fried egg like the same in this video. 🙂

I guess you are equating being American and speaking English with sophistication. It’s actually not surprising that somebody straight from Mexico would be a little more cosmopolitan than somebody from the United States. Americans typically travel less than everybody else. This makes them experience less stuff. If he straight from Mexico, chances are, he is a lot more well traveled and has come in contact with more cultures.

I like that they listened to feedback comments about the missing rice/sticky rice on their mamah! channel "Mexican Moms try Thai Food". The Dads got a better ensemble than the Moms did. If I had to nitpick, The Laab could have done with some sticky rice too, but eating it with cabbage leaf is also authentic. And give them both spoon and fork, it's not an either/or with Thai food, we use both to eat a meal. Thais use fork in left hand to push food onto spoon, spoon then goes in mouth. That way you don't have the guys using their fingers to food onto the spoon or trying to balance rice on a fork which can't hold enough to give a satisfying mouthful.
