🇹🇭 STREET FOOD NOODLE HEAVEN in Bangkok's Old Town - BEST KHAO SOI and Epic Pork Noodle Soup!

[@Kwippy]

The best khao soi ever, in Bangkok or the north, is at Ong Tong, the chain restaurant! I took my visiting friend there, and she fell in love with it. She went to Chiang Mai and around, and ate a lot of kao soi. She agreed that the best kao soi is at Ong Tong.

[@theroamingcook]

My wife loves it there as well!

[@houstonsms]

I actually thought the first noodle bowl looked tastier, but you always make everything look and sound so good!

[@theroamingcook]

The first bowl was great

[@eswillie]

Just went back for a few days this past weekend to the neighborhood we used to live in and got takeout from the Hakka restaurant which had opened there just before we moved. We go back there a few times each year, and always get a meal from there whenever we go back to visit. They've expanded their menu to some Thai dishes, so although I really like the Hakka mix of flavors, we ordered two of the Thai items. They were ok, but not as good or as close to authentic as their Hakka offerings. On the plus side, we scored some jars of Thai chili pastes from a huge Asian supermart, and having the leftovers tonight with some from one with basil for making pad khapao. We'll see how it goes......should be better than what's usually available in most supermarkets in the US.

[@theroamingcook]

Yeah Hakka takes some beating doesn't it Willie? How did the kaprao go?

[@eswillie]

The kaprao paste was all it's supposed to be, but as for my cooking, it was more of a fusion dish rather than authentic. Two more jars to try, and I'll see what happens. On a side note, braised two lamb shoulder chops last night for the first time ever (what you blokes would call mutton chops); marinated them in oil with fresh rosemary and tarragon, lime juice, shallots and garlic as recommended in several recipes.....the cooking method was perfect, came out juicy, tender and rare, but the flavor just didn't make it. So I used a healthy dollop of the kaprao paste on the Thai red rice that I made as a side dish. For the real deal, I'll just have to wait to get back to Thailand which remains, with Hawaii on my bucket list. Gary Butler - The Roaming Cook eswillie

Love your expertise with all things Thai mate. Always a pleasure watching you discover new stuff too and delivered in a very friendly and down to earth manner as well. Also the ad was fine, gotta make a living and you did a great job keeping it relevant to the audience. Cheers my man!

[@theroamingcook]

Thank you mate, much appreciated 🙏 🙏

[@ozzyinbangkok]

Hi Gary, another great video as usual mate. The Khao Soi looks delicious. The Surfshark ad was really good. I hope you get loads more sponsors. You deserve it! Keep up the great work. Really enjoying the videos. Thank you! Have a great weekend. Cheers! Ozzy

[@theroamingcook]

Cheers Ozzy mate, much appreciated 🙏

[@streetfoodmagic2024]

Always good to know where we can find a good Khao Soi Gai in Bangkok!! Great work on the Roaming Cook Surf Shark Commercial (were so used to these nowadays) ......youll be levelling up to full blown Infomercials in no time Gary lol. Keep on keeping on mate!

[@theroamingcook]

hahaha we'll see! Thanks buddy

[@MovieFactsVideos]

Great video, Gary. The second dish looked tasty. Intrigued by the Thai tea! I didn't find the ad an issue at all.

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!

[@สุทธิศักดิ์มธุรพงศากุล]

The restaurant looks clean and the atmosphere is good. very tasty food

[@theroamingcook]

It’s very good!

[@Mickman007]

Adore thai food but also had great food in malaysia 31 years ago which made a nice and welcome break every time I went on a visa run to Penang, still got food memories in my head from Penang, keep rollin Gary.

[@theroamingcook]

Yeah Malaysia is amazing for food. I’ll get back there soon

[@thasneebkk9271]

Yeah ! I’m so happy to see you’re back to Thailand.

[@theroamingcook]

I'm so glad to be back!

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Gary, you have a way with words and food. You always make me feel hungry. Great video. Great you have a sponsor. Nearly 30K. Well Done. Have a lovely Sunday.

[@theroamingcook]

Thank you for the support as always Nicky!

[@Plamukaroy]

haha, yes those small bowls with noodle soup, so I eat 5 of them. At home they always make a very large bowl for me. The Khao Soi kai look good, I also like the flat noodles much better than the thin ones.

[@theroamingcook]

Yeah I could definitely eat a few bowls as well!

[@karenward9606]

I love how your face keeps us guessing to whether it’s good or bad! I’m glad it was better than the sweet one you had near Silom!! I’m in Sydney and miss my CM Khao Soi but have mastered mine here at home. Thanks for your great videos.

[@theroamingcook]

hahaha yes, much better!

[@David-le7jy]

Love the translations - cheers Gary!

[@theroamingcook]

I hope they’re correct 😂

[@GoingGreenMom]

I think the product you chose is a good option assuming you actually use and love it. Neither here nor there, but I have noticed that there are some channels I've watched that actually do some sort of progress bar or timer during the ad so if people aren't interested they can skip through it instead of just clicking off the video. Just a thought!

[@theroamingcook]

That’s a great idea to have a timer! I actually use this exact VPN so it was easy to recommend but I have been approached to review some really random stuff that I flat out turn down

[@justinwilliams6268]

Germans have a traditional soup with tiny cooked pork balls, the delicious "Hochzeitssuppe". Sadly a bit of a forgotten recipe. I've helped an authentic German granny to make it.. (me's prouds). Your little advert is perfectly fine in its scope.

[@theroamingcook]

I need to try that!

[@rachelkh20]

Between the first noodle shop and Rung Rueang, which place would you recommend? Heading to bangkok in 2 weeks can't wait!

[@theroamingcook]

It depends where you’re staying! If I was in the old town, I would’t travel to Sukhumvit for noodles. I’d say go wherever you are closer to! Have a great trip, I’m so excited for you!

[@mariettathornton5924]

Whewww Gary- you did it again! I don’t know whether to continue watching you or not because every single time I watch your vlog, I gain 20 pounds!!!! 😂😂😂 Gotta love all of your food videos :) Cannot wait to get back to Thailand & hopefully meet up with you for a fabulous food tour😊 Thanks once again for another mega-awesome video Gary! Sending you love from San Francisco 😊

Love khao soi and, as far as ads go, that was good - didn't feel forced 👍

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks so much mate

[@poomvisanu9767]

Dude that was my aunt's shop, Thank you

[@aunghtinaung]

They do not use ginger from my understanding Gary. Must be from galangal and lemongrass combined. Thanks for the gr8 videos btw.

[@theroamingcook]

Thank you khap. But original khao soi uses ginger which makes it unique most all other Thai pastes like you say are galangal 🙏🙏

[@RolandPer]

The pork soup noodle similar to our Singapore Hakka yen taufu.

[@theroamingcook]

Of really? Our yen ta fo is bright pink!

[@terencelim2801]

Just loving it Gary.😄

[@theroamingcook]

Thank you Terrence!

[@mjlee5617]

Hakka noodles tend to be simple but the broth can be deceivable tasty. I like the portion and its price. As tourists you want to eat small portion and eat/taste more food. The coffee and tea are reasonably priced there. Its a good place to eat if and when I am near by , next trip.

[@theroamingcook]

Yes the broth has so much flavour. People don't expect it!

[@jamesrockell7647]
