THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER THAI DISH 🇹🇭 Khao Soi, Dancing Shrimp and More - ฝรั่งกินอาหารไทย

• KHAO SOI Paradise in C...
Today I wanted to show you all, and remind myself, why I first fell in love in love with Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand 14 odd years ago.
First sto was Khao Soi Khun Yai, a khao soi institution on Chiang Mai's north gate. Khun Yai's was the first place I ever ate khao soi so it will always have a special place in my heart. Khao soi 50-70 baht.
Directions to Khun Yai:

Next up we headed to Chiang Mai Gate Market to eat Sai Ua, Northern Thai sausage. This was actually the first thing I ever ate in Thailand! Sai Ua 100 baht, Cap Moo 100 baht.

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this KZbin channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!

Make sure you check out Paddy's khao soi vid to find out which one we iked the best! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKSkp5qBnZZknM0

[@brucewayne2773]

Paddy did such a great vlog with you two together on his channel. Interesting styles of editing.

[@Kwippy]

I vividly remember my first khao soi in Chiang Mai. This was 30++ years ago when khao soi was unknown outside Thailand. I wandered into a Muslim joint on Chang Klan road (khao soi has its root in Muslim parts of China). The experience was stunning, mind-blowing, bordering on life changing! No idea if that modest restaurant is still there, probably not.

[@ppminny8841]

My mom told me Kao Soi Khun Yai was open when my mom was a young student. Now She is 62. And I sometimes rode a motor bike to eat that with my boyfriend in the afternoon (Luch break from work) 6-7 years ago before I moved to Lampang Last year my family went to Chiang Mai. I took my mom to this Kao Soi. There was full of tourists Farang, Chinese, Japanese. We had to sit with some Natherland Family. Kao soi is now popular dish for tourist. So happy to know that northern of Thai have popular Food after Tom Yum, Pad Thai, Som Tum, Kang Keaw Wan.

[@brucewayne2773]

Your comment regarding the first time you ate Sai Ua was a great moment 👍black and white to see color for the first time.

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks mate ❤️

[@brucewayne2773]

Proper narration and editing Gary, you are so good at it.

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks mate 🙏❤

[@melissafrye76]

The more you and Paddy do videos together, the more we, the viewers, want! You guys are great together!

[@streetfoodmagic1638]

Nice work Gary, you took us on a reminiscent journey back to where it all began.....and how thankful we all are for you listening to your calling all those years ago. The world is better for it and our vicarious food journies 🙏

[@user-jn7sg7pn9p]

The first person who can invent TASTE A VISION will become a instant Billionaire if not Trillion air, you heard that right, if a man can go to the Moon no reason why you cant give me a sample of what your savoring. I am salivating and getting hungry watching, so time for some sampling sooner rather then later. I have visited Chang Mai 2 times and Chang Rai once and that did it I am a Khao Soi addict, I am ready to spend $15 for a huge bowel of it in SF, it hurts but its pretty tasty, the tip costs me more then 2 bowels you guys are eating. Amazing video Gary.

[@vickyginadoucette8110]

Great video! I’ve spotted myself in the background at 2:08. I was happy to see you and Paddy there and at Khao Soi Nimman the day before; it made me feel like I was making good dining choices 😊

[@aaronbux1]

Ha .. I sat at that very table. The legend chef and her staff were overwhelmingly nice with smiles and poses as I took pictures and vids, doing my best not to annoyingly get in the way. Is it the best khao soi ever? I'm not the best with ratings. But is it at the top with other excellent khao soi I've had? No question. Thanks for the good memories, GB (and Paddy). See you soon!

[@theroamingcook]

What a great spot mate!

[@animekaye7091]

It was nice to see the places that brought back the fondest memories of why you enjoy CM. Now I want to try the dancing shrimp & Khao Soi!! Love the collab with Paddy. Sad he was tuckered out tho. I really enjoyed this video!!

[@simonbuller1910]

One of Paddy's vods introduced me to Gary's. Between the two of them, Thailand feels like an entirely new country to me! Amazing

[@jonn7737]

Love these colabs with Paddy. Here to your 100k subs!

[@booneyify]

เดี๋ยวนี้พูดไทยชัดขึ้นนะ น่ารักจริงๆ ไปไหนก็สบาย เป็นขวัญใจแม่ค้าเลย❤❤❤

[@patrickmassocco6759]

Wonderful video about Chang Mai, for food and beautiful landscapes. Can't wait to join these places, in few months :)

[@DannyV106]

For me Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kaat Gorm is the best. Greetings from The Netherlands 😎🙏

[@redddo1]

Great video mate. I'm planning to more to Chiang Mai this year. Khao Soi is simply amazing. For those eating the live shrimp go easy the first time. I can eat any cooked seafood no problem. But I found out the hard way when I tried dancing shrimp in Laos that I'm allergic to the live version...I ended up with hands like blown up rubber gloves and my chest and neck was swollen. A bit of a worry but I sorted it out with an antihistamine.

[@5thPlatoon]

Hard to beat an authentic Kao Soi, looks so good duchess!

[@theroamingcook]

Unreal mate

[@CocoaJourney]

Love you guys 😊 thank you both of you love Thai food and Thai culture

[@Daniel_Tietze]

Ha, funny. That market (maybe that exact stall - is that right at the front, near the road?) is where I had my first real Sai Ua, when we were in Chiang Mai a couple of years ago. It was indeed mind-blowingly good. Spicy, rich, lovely, moreish. I remember we'd been traipsing around CM in the sun for a long time and I was desperate for something to eat, so I thought "Hey, I'll give it a try." Oh, boy. What a treat! Nice, seeing this place again in your video.

[@dannbangkok]

That lake is one of the best thing for my Lazy day in Chiangmai. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩

[@wisarut.nualkaew]

Sai ua or Thai food in general turn everything to colors. Yes! Love that said. And for me the somtum with good pla-ra take me to beyond colors. Hahaha

[@Del-Leigh-Adventures]

Great video again mate. We absolutely loved Chiang Mai. And we went to that lake really enjoyed seeing it again.

[@theroamingcook]

Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@wycheee]

Here here to Khoa Soi and creation of The Roaming Cook 🙏 And what a wonderful place Chiang Mai is 😄

[@tobyprice1092]

This is a very good video. Great quality.

[@CNXObserver]

Gary. I was taught to put the lid on the shrimp and shake it before eating. Distributes the sauce over the shrimp and really gets them dancing.

[@katttham]

I love the sausages! So much herbs. Especially if it's spicy. Yum

[@dannybowes646]

your thai getiing really good! crazy seeing your progression

[@theroamingcook]

Cheers buddy 🙏

[@danny_and_diggy]

Cant wait for this one 🤩🤩🤩

[@theroamingcook]

One of my favourites ever!

[@shaunashton9744]

I recently had a Duck Khao Soi in Aus, it was very rich and creamy. Everyone said it was the best dish, had the crispy noodles on top.

[@onalonan]

Lum-Tae-Tae....Lum-ka-nad LOL 555 That's made my day bro when you spoke in Bangkok accent(do not have high low tone) just like when we Bangkokian try to speak their Chiang-mai words and its really funny sometimes they do not really get it what we try to say probably they want some high aand low tone. Lol

[@travelrefocused]

One of my favorite things to do in Chiang Mai is to try as many different Khoa Soi recipes as I can. Although there are plenty of other great things to eat. I really enjoy eating in Chiang Mai.

[@jamesejudy3]

That was so romantic, thanks for sharing your special time together ❤️ 💖 💙 💗

[@theroamingcook]

Our pleasure, thanks for joining 😅

[@rosieb4029]

Looking forward to this!!!

Great video, we never knew that lake was there! Wish we would have visited those huts during our stay. 😊

[@theroamingcook]

[@dustyrider244]

Nice Channel Gary, have you ever thought of taking some of these dishes and cooking yourself? Might appeal to the many budding chefs especially as you can get the authenticity that is so crucial to Thai food, just a thought

[@thaitraveller77]

Khao Soi khun Yai is a blast! Even my wife from southern Thailand had to admit, although it's not "her food"

[@theroamingcook]

It's so good mate!

[@flowerbanzai]

Love this video ! いいね！

That restaurant and Sai Ua at the market was also my first two stops, when I was there the first time. Crazy! :)

[@theroamingcook]

Great minds and all that!

[@foodtaliban]

@@theroamingcook 🥰

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

My last trip to Chiang Mai in October was first time ever having Khao Soi, all my previous times to Thailand it wasn't a thing in Isaan as far as I know

[@roybatterham5002]

I think that Khao Soi Kuhn Yai is a bit overrated. I know at least half a dozen shops in Chiang Mai that have Khao Soi that I prefer, often those with Burmese cooks. I also find that restaurants that make Nam Ngiao (น้ําเงี้ยว) often make spectacularly good Khao Soi also.

[@neilandsuzannetravels]

Found the restaurant on google maps. South side of the lake. Going there in July!

[@gabi63324]

I love it when you said Thai foods are colorful

[@Matij1004]

Please make a Gary & Paddy series (even in other countries) - p l e a s e 😄🤩

[@duncannok]

05:06 Gary 2 Spoons strikes again 😁🙏

[@ACCANIX]

I am of northern descent. My mother is from Lampang. But I hate KhaoSoi.Well... In fact, it should be said that I don't like thick coconut milk curry mixed with crispy noodles, which are oily and greasy. But I like other foods very much. I love eating SaiAow with hot sticky rice and crispy pork skin dip with young chili paste is so good! There is only Khao Soi that I can't really like. 😂

[@photography4u2003]

love

[@Sunnysdelights]

Nice

[@randyh.6928]

Hi Gary, I saw you on Paddy's show. I just came back from Chiang Mai on Saturday and had eaten at two of the khao soi places you mentioned. Great places. I also like a Muslim place in the old city but I don't remember the name. I have a sound question for you, please. I saw you in the BG in part of Paddy's video as you were vlogging and I could see you use an iPhone (or maybe it's an android) as I do. I have trouble getting good sound with my directional mic, as I don't like the look of lavs and occasional distortion. But it appeared you had no mic at all! But here in your video, even about a meter from the camera, your sound is very good. Can I ask you specifically what mic you are using? BTW, your Thai is really impressive. I've been taking online lessons and watching KZbin videos on and off for a couple years so I can put together many thoughts and be understood . . . but I can still barely understand a word. 555.

Khao Soi next level in Chiang Mai; try Khao So-I...with wagyu beef...........

[@Gurgaon-xp3bw]

​@@theroamingcook เกิดประเทศไทยหรอครับ

[@s-e-a]

Can you compare Khao Soi to Curry Mee in Malaysia ?

[@wowwatchth7782]

The shrimp will dance harder if this dish be cooked in Isan 😁 with more spicy and concentrated ingredients..and especially 'plara' 😂

[@thanaang1455]

I can eat spicy foods but my bud does not like them so only when I am at home.

[@jim.pearsall]

What is the name of the cut chilies that came with your Sai Ua and that you later had with pork cracklings? Looks so good.

[@CNXObserver]

Nam Prik Noom.

[@jim.pearsall]

@@CNXObserver Thank you so much! I’ll find some recipes to make. 🤤😋😛😃🙏🏻

[@CNXObserver]

You are welcome. I love that stuff. And also the other common North Thai dip Nam Prik Ong which uses ground pork and tomatoes. Note that you need a long milder green chilli for nam phrik noom and then ideally smoke it over coals. Don’t know the name of the variety of chilli but it’s not the usual Central Thai ones.

[@jim.pearsall]

@@CNXObserver I will also look for that recipe as well. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻😃

[@wisarut.nualkaew]

It’s prik(chili) noom(young boy).
