CHIANG RAI, THAILAND - Welcome to Lanjia Lodge (www.asian-oasi..., in the mountains, near the Mekong River, in the remote far northern province of Chiang Rai, Thailand. Lanjia Lodge is an eco lodge that supports the local hill tribe village community - and there are two main people ground, the Lahu, and the Hmong people.
While staying at Lanjia Lodge, we arranged one day to visit the Hmong village where the Shaman and his family invited us for a huge celebration local meal. Now I’ve had Hmong food before a number of times, but this was by far the most extensive and diverse Hmong meal I’ve ever had. Hmong are known for being hard workers, their amazing farm practices, and sometimes their simple - yet fulfilling food. It’s not uncommon to have a Hmong meal that includes boiled vegetables and rice. But today was something truly special and magnificent, a Hmong celebration feast!
Just to name a few of the dishes this amazing Hmong family made - roasted duck, pounded green taro stems, an herbal mixture with chicken organs, black chicken soup, boiled black chicken, boiled pumpkin, Hmong chili dip, and Hmong rice - which is a high mountain growing variety of Hmong rice.
We also had a chance to see some of the food being prepared. I was especially fascinated by the pounded green taro stems. I’ve had green taro stems before, but usually cooked. This was my first time to eat them raw and pounded into a chili dip. It was sensational, life changing to be honest.
The entire meal was outstanding, so fresh, so natural tasting - and quickly to mention that just about every single food we ate and ingredient was from the mountain grown and raised by them. The flavors were vibrant, everything tasted so natural and real. The black chicken was slightly chewy and full of flavor, the duck was marinated and roasted. And all the natural vegetables like the pumpkin were maximum sweetness. The chili dips were outstanding.
It was a meal I will never forget, and thank you to this amazing family for their hospitality!
Another great part of this Hmong village food experience is that by staying at Lanjia Lodge and by arranging local tours like this, you are able to directly support the community through community tourism.
Huge thank you to Lanjia Lodge (www.asian-oasi...) for arranging this. Highly recommended. The lodge is incredibly beautiful and relaxing. We loved our stay.
Thank you for watching this video!

When a Hmong person serves you the Chicken leg, it’s means you are very special. The Hmong grew up poor and didn’t get much meat to eat growing up, so when someone serves you the leg, you mean a lot to them. Back in Laos, when our parents got the chance to eat chicken, everyone wanted the chicken leg as it had the most meat to it. I’m glad you were able to experience the Hmong culture and Hmong food. We take pride in the food we serve!

The Hmong are a very hospitable people. They always give their best to a guest. They will give up a seat for the guest. The food they're cooking isn't something the Hmong eat on a regular basis. They really went all out for Mark base on what they had.

[@nkaujtusiab4520]

that is so true but in rich countries like America, that is the regular traditional meal eaten on a regular basis. But the newer generations don't eat like that regularly no more sadly.

[@distone2480]

Bro idk bout you. But I eat this everyday. I used too. We rich over here lol. god bless. But we get the healthy skinny chicken for cheap over here from a farm. Kill them and save it for half the year.

[@tsevneeglischannel]

I miss my Hmong families in Chiang Rai so much, thank you for bringing me back to them through your videos during quarantine. Can’t wait to reunite with all of them again.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you so much for watching Mai!

[@tsevneeglischannel]

@@MarkWiens You are most welcome! My Mom is crying tears of happiness seeing your video. Please stay safe, say Hi to Ying and Micah for us ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KONGMYANG89]

Thank you mark for having a privilege to do a recording about our Hmong culture. No one has ever done that. Thank you for that

When I was younger, my friends mom use to make Hmong sausages and that chili dip. Loved it but also regretted it each time. Iykyk...😂

[@redstarseed514]

I feel you. My sister can make really good 🌶 pepper sauce. She got the whole youth group crying and cursing her. Her peppers were so hot, there’s not a dry eye in sight. Yet no one could stop eating it. All they could do was say, “We hate you Jin, we hate you”. lol

[@yingher1682]

As soon as Aunty gave you the drumstick, it was the biggest sign of love.

[@billgigolo7783]

Is that a fact?

[@whatheck6797]

For real!!!!

[@kemsaigon1980]

I miss the kind of meal where you sit in a simple home, good heart people, delicious country food, and surrounded by animals (nostalgic feelings)

[@cookingcornnor5977]

Mark is the healthiest hard working food and culture explorer. Hats off to you.

[@KueSala]

Thank you so much for showing hmong food and culture!! I always get emotional when you visit hmong villages as they remind me of my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. I love to see how life is there now. These videos make me miss a home cooked meal

[@meely166]

You are such an amazing person Mark! I wish you nothing but success. Thanks for putting us Hmong people on the map❤️ nothing but love for you!

[@nraugzajxyooj]

Giving some a drumstick is a sign of LOVE, in the day, our people have little to nothing so when we have special guest or special occasions, we will eat meat, the drumstick is giving to the most favor kid in the family

[@zia_thao7338]

Yessss!!!

[@DrR0BERT]

This is probably my favorite video of yours. I had the privilege of having a meal with a Hmong family outside of Mae Sa. Great people. And the food! I have never had a better chicken soup in my life.

[@brnd4298]

As a hmong person, thank you for showing people our culture. Many people don't know hmong people, so, I thanked you for showing this. Who is hmong? 👇

[@KikiSong01]

I’m so proud of Hmong people learning English and can translate and talk to other foreigners! Love this video

[@song6286]

Mark, when you're the guest in a Hmong home, you will always be given the drumstick. It is the highest honor.

[@eduardochavacano]

i thought the Hmong are from Sapa. This video says Thailand. Im confused.

[@llululala]

@@eduardochavacano there are several Hmong tribes scattered across all of Southeast Asia with many in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and China.

[@piemiller4433]

That soup is so healthy! So full of vegestable! It’s so heartfelt with very hard work and hospitality that their labor of love just touched my heart and it made me tear up! I bet these loving spread is so delicious! I have lots of Hmong friends and acquaintances here in America and they are so happy and friendly culture! Thank you Mark for showing us where their goodness of human heart came from. Thank you Ladies and gentlemen for these very delicious and beautiful food! God bless all of the Hmong Community!

[@audreyquaye4095]

Thank you - Mark! I felt transported to the Hmong village and virtually enjoyed every dish! 😊

[@wtfdude687]

Mark, the aunty giving you a drumstick is a sign of love and great respect...Hmong parents only give the drumsticks to the kids or in some instances, the youngest in the family to express their love for them

[@edmundboonsimlim9078]

While it is a joy to see the way you appreciate all kinds of food everywhere you travel, Mark, it is even a greater delight to watch the way you humbly show respect and gratitude to the people you meet. It is outstanding.

[@NagarajanRV]

Mark's voice is a magnet that drags me up to the last minute of his videos.

[@Hankxiong]

This is literally an everyday sit down meal when I visit my Mom. - those Qaib Qus crow’s are beautiful

[@axhlubtl]

The best meal ever..its like our hmong soul food..Mark you are so blessed..when I grow up I want to be like you..❌⭕❌⭕

[@luckypeony345]

When you visit a Hmong family and they give you the chicken leg, it is a GREAT sign of respect, love, and welcoming you into their hospitality. Be grateful and happy.

[@darketernal3]

Mark, you are too kind. I grew up on those foods. That chicken and duck is rubber and borderline inedible.

[@mariacarpo1791]

That great reaction when he puts something in his mouth , just a very sincere appreciation of the food.😊😋

[@jaiablee496]

This is the closest to what I identify with as “Hmong food” in terms of other KZbin videos focusing on Hmong food. My experiences may be a little different though for what Hmong food is, as I am privileged enough to have easy access to chicken, chicken oragans, etc living in the states, but even then this meal typically is reserved for special occasions. Regardless, thank you for allowing Hmong cuisine to shine through this video! PS, for the first time ever I was able to imagine exactly what a guest was tasting when eating Hmong food!

[@xaower]

I've always been wondering when I'll ever be able to understand who Mark is eating with but now i can because those are my people! Thank you Mark

[@MarkWiens]

That's awesome to hear, thank you so much for your support!

[@yin-yan9]

Hmong food is about simplicity, fresh, and allowing the veggies/meat to showcase itself. I've been watching your vids since 2012 & enjoy seeing the different villages, their foods and cultures. Thank u for embracing the different cultures and diverse eats. Looks like a lot of work and commitment so thank u for sharing!

[@nnvng]

Awe... and especially having an elder serve food directly to your plate... man. All love ❤️ only when they serve directly to your plate, that's showing a lot of love and how dear you are to them.

[@WoRiRe]

Love love love this video! Thank you for showing the true ethnic and culture of our Hmong people! I am Hmong and I am proud! ❤️ Keep up the great work Mark!

[@pervezmustafa6389]

"There is a reason for the way everything is done" Your spot on mate!

[@LaDiamond84]

I appreciate how cultured you are Mark. You’re teaching me a lot, and I love your videos ❤️

[@Kojmagkiag]

It’s amazing that nothing on that dinner table is from outside the village at all. Everything grown and raised all by these beautiful Hmong people. Simple but so good and so clean.

[@deVrieco]

I am half Hmong and I love watching your videos about my people and even just familiar dishes in your Laos and Thai videos. Thank you so much!
