Taking My Favourite Youtuber For His FIRST EVER DIM SUM in BANGKOK 🇹🇭

[@OTRontheroad]

Had so much fun doing this that I almost forgot there were cameras going. Thanks so much for having me and for all your support- I think I speak for all of Bangkok when I say, it's good to have you back

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks so much for coming on, I could have sat there for hours!

[@keninchicago]

Good video. Relaxed yet knowledgeable. Yum cha was my first authentic Chinese cuisine.

[@JBWanders73]

Two of the only Thai based channels I watch! Really enjoyed that.

[@kayflip2233]

@@JBWanders73 Yeah these 2 guys are crazy with the history skills, language skills, food knowledge, attention to detail, thoroughness, etc. Basically they don't settle with just putting out any content that anyone can easily recreate. Their content clearly takes immense preparation, research and practicing of skills - I keep saying skills because skills are something that MOST people CANNOT do easily.

[@Oakyman]

Love OTR, surely because of the quality of your content and Adam's personality (also the team in some clips). And Gary, I'll watch more of your content

[@TarTw45]

Paddy introduced me to Gary then later Gary introduced me to Adam, I love this kind of community. Can't wait to see who's will be introduced by Adam!

[@sebastianmustermann2469]

[@alanq7170]

Bangkok Pat - I found out about that gem of a channel/bloke via Adam's channel

[@jomontanee]

@@alanq7170Awwwww that is the chain of love ❤️

[@kayflip2233]

When I first saw the OTR channel, I knew Gary would love it. Gary respects high standards in terms of thoroughness, detail and just overall skill level. You can just tell he has immediate chemistry with people like Adam and Max who really know their craft and is a bit geeked out finding people similar to him.

[@theroamingcook]

It doesn’t get any more thorough than these guys

[@brucewayne2773]

Watching Gary Butler and OTR food history, it's a great way to enjoy my morning coffee ☕

[@theroamingcook]

So glad we could help start your morning mate 😀

[@brucewayne2773]

🙏❤@@theroamingcook

[@foodhistory1387]

Awesome- So happy you put us onto OTR, Gary!

[@theroamingcook]

My pleasure mate!

[@ikkue]

It's called ขนมผักกาด (khanom phak-kat) because it was shortened from ขนมผักกาดหัว (khanom phak-kat hua). ผักกาดหัว (phak-kat hua) is the alternate Thai name of หัวไชเท้า (hua chai thao) which is radish, so a literal translation of the Southern Min (Hokkien and Teochew) name of the dish, which is 菜頭粿 (chhài-thâu-kóe/ké). So basically, the Southern Min name of the dish contains the word ไชเท้า (chai thao), which is used to refer to radish in Thai today, but maybe they were being patriotic or something and didn't want to use the Chinese name for it, so they decided to translate it to a more Thai name instead, which is ผักกาดหัว (phak-kat hua), and over time it got shortened to just ผักกาด (phak-kat)

[@wisarut.nualkaew]

ผมคนไทยก็เพิ่งรู้นี่แหละครับ 55555 ขอบคุณครับ

[@Oakyman]

or หัวผักกาด hua-phak-kat

[@ThatForeignBloke]

@@Oakyman yes definitely known as หัวผักกาด hua-phak-kat here in Udon Thani

[@Tiaimo]

Wow.... Adam eats dim sum with Gary. I really obsessed Adam and team effort that put into the video. I love history and foods. OTR is my dream channel to watch every program. As 3rd gen Teochew-Thai, I always enjoy dim sum. But when I went to HK, I really like HK crispy pork.

[@theroamingcook]

Adam is the best!

[@ThailandThomas]

Great video Gary. Hope you and Adam team up more often.

[@jonfranklin4583]

So good to have you back roaming the streets of Bangkok bringing us the best of food, and with Adam, it was especially great!

[@611moop]

We're big fans of both your channels! @OTRontheroad Adam's talent in storytelling is unparalleled and so is your knack for accurately conveying the exact experience of sampling any food, Gary. As a middle-aged Thai, I can't believe these days I'm learning more and more about my country from you guys. Looking forward to more feature videos from both of you. Poom

[@theroamingcook]

Wow, thank you P’Poom, this means the world to me. Adam is amazing, I’m very lucky to have him as a friend here

[@iNeverSimp]

The crispy element I think is water chestnut. It's not always something that is put in. In fact, I don't usually find it like that.

[@theroamingcook]

After looking it up, you're 100 percent right. I've never had it before

[@aquamondIII]

Re: cheung fun Almost every chef will recook the soya sauce with sugar and even spices, together with the variation of rice grain and flour, the outcome is definitely different Re: har gao In the old days, the chefs prefer using fresh prawns and even shredded bamboo shoot in the fillings. Its southern and hongkong preference to have glass thin dough paper for har gao vs chiu chow dumplings are more on the thicker and chewy side Good to see you back🎉 利害 or 勁 for cantonese

[@miguelaznar]

The floating labels identifying food were great! They help a lot. I wish more videos used these to identify many things. You and OTR are two of my favorite YTers. For Thailand, I’d only add Bangkok Pat. Love history! Thank you

[@theroamingcook]

It’s my pleasure, I’m glad you found them useful. That’s good company I’m in!

[@naymyo5503]

Two of my favourite people on KZbin, thanks Gary and Adam. Cheers mate!

You have great taste 😀

Welcome back Gary, great food, great guest, and great enthusiasm. Hmmm Dim sum.

Thanks Carol!

[@theroamingcook]

[@eswillie]

Just watched the rest of the video. This was truly special since you two are pretty much the only genuine content makers (if that's the correct term) worth watching from Thailand. If there are others, please share links to them in your videos, and I'll be sure to watch. I get how much work and concern go into each and every one of your videos, as you mentioned, and to me, who's an operations guy who makes things work smoothly, the skill or talent or whatever shows. Now to the food. Gary's take on the chilis and vinegar is how I do my dipping sauces and the like; I forget that Chinese phrase, but in Thai it would be geng mahk!, and I got that a lot when I was there many decades ago. The other thing, which actually freaked me out, was referring to that sauce you dipped the radish cakes into as a Thai or Chinese maple syrup. When I made the sauce for our meal tonight (shrimp, Thai eggplant, peppers and more), I felt the sauce was too sharp and salty and I didn't think my palm sugar discs would dissolve, so I added a tablespoon or two of maple syrup and the sauce tastes fantastic. I've gone on enough, and we'll be ready to start our meal, so I'll just say thanks for one of the best videos yet. And, Gary, if Adam doesn't have the time to check out all the comments here, please pass on my appreciation and praise for this most enjoyable video.

[@OTRontheroad]

Adam here! Thanks a lot and always good to hear from you

[@donjordan8174]

Lived in China 10+ years in Xiamen and loved the dim sum at the local shops… also had in Hong Kong they bring the carts around to the table…. haven’t found a place yet here in Isaan.. going on 8 years now…

[@theroamingcook]

Those Hong Kong carts are the best

[@pat_thai]

Welcome back Krup Khun Garry . Watching with hunger you dim sum vlog ! No chicken feet ? Lol😂 The crunch on Ha-gow is the king prawn inside once I saw them thick cover vs translucent you can see the prawn inside ❤

[@eswillie]

Only ten minutes in and already you guys have me salivating for all of those dishes. Problem is I'm cooking later so I need to calm down while I have an easy brunch of leftovers. I'll save the rest of the video for later when I have all my dinner stuff prepped and ready to go. Thanks for teaming up here, it really added to the appeal of the episode.

[@britslivinginspain]

Great video, love otr as well

[@lizzy9975]

I absolutely love Yum Cha. You are ordering some of my favourite dishes!

[@shaunashton9744]

Great to see you back Gary, I just rewatched with the wife and made a long list of all the great dishes. Three weeks till we hit town and will be doing our best to avoid the Golden Arches. 500 baht would get me one plate in the land of OZ.

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks mate, it’s great to be back! That sounds like a challenge!

[@bellyhungry]

The missing crunchiness in the har gow is water chestnut, I think.

[@warrenwilliams6535]

Great to have you back! You're looking good, refreshed and glad to be back in BKK. There is so much good food along Charoen Krung Road, including this dim sum. Unfortunately, it has come at the expense of the lovely old couple that were out the front, as this was being developed. You did a video of them, I think when looking for this. Looking forward to new content. Chrs Waz

[@theroamingcook]

Yeah very upset that I couldn’t find her mate. I’m going to keep searching until we are reunited

[@warrenwilliams6535]

Back in July they were the first we sought out. And some tonic, for the gin. Spent 90 minutes looking for both. Found one, not the other. Even those cooking next door at the 7-Eleven, knew them, but not of their new terrain. Good luck finding them. They looked a lovely couple! Based on your video would love to eaten their food, but as I said, there is so much to eat on Charoen Krung Road. Street vendors, to the 'hole in the wall', down a side street. As a result, we had some amazing boat noodle and Tom Yum. @@theroamingcook

[@chad5893]

Man, thank you for this update. Just watched your original video and used your google maps link and thought it was wrong cause it pointed to this new place. Going there in 3 weeks and can't wait to check it out.

The crunchy stuff in a proper har gow is water chestnut. Reading between the lines of what Adam is saying. Yes this looks like a local neighbourhood place you would get in Guangzhou. Everyday stuff, decent but not the best.

[@puggsincyberspace]

My Wife is from Shenzhen so I have been there a dozen or more times since 2000. Probably there when Adam was there. He is right about the Yum Cha there, some amazing food...

[@Cyberoverdose888]

Crunchy element may be hairlike slices of bamboo shoots!😊 My family usually asks for XO sauce for dipping. The chili sauces overpower the flavors of dimsum. One other note, Lo Pak Go traditionally in old dimsum houses finishes it table side by frying the outside crisp and serving this to your table for a flavors and textures all in one.

[@helsreach8954]

man does you make journalist look cool

[@ck5056]

It's jicama inside shrimp dumpling, giving refreshing and crunchy taste.

Hit the nail on the head there Gary - poor quality ingredients is the one thing that lets a lot of Dim Sum places down ... Tuang was on my list last trip to Bangkok but sadly never made it ... next time for sure. You can trust Adam, he has proper chefs arms ! Great content as always ...

[@theroamingcook]

I hope you make it next time mate!

[@jampasurprenant1794]

The Chinese dim sum that was used to be my favorite Chinese food when go to China towns in New York back in the 70 80 a long time ago but I still can get the dozens them from the Asian supermarket but doesn't Tast as good as freshly Made from China Town .

[@alexli6604]

lo bak go is shredded and diced daikon then cooked a bit then steamed. way too time consuming to make at home so finding one outside that is made well is good.

Current Thailand have ton of Chinese investment in restaurant but 90% of this new Chinese restaurant just to focus on Mala hotpot, all I want as a 3rd gen Thai/Chinese is a good dim sum and authentic China food. Not a 100th Mala Hotpot next to my community, give us your better stuff !!! I watch several Vlogger and I want a food adventure in China myself, as a Thai I already explore Yaowarat but I already ate those since I was a kid.
