It is Saturday Night in Chiang Mai and today we are heading to the Saturday Night market. Well, we’re still a few blocks away but I know we’re close – you know why? – becauseI can smell the food. What do you get there? I got myself a twist potato, which is a lot like the tornado chips we used to have in Korea. It looks like it is all seasoned. It is nice. It is barbecue flavored. You are going to be sharing that!You are wasting the chips. Yeah, that’s blueberry. It looks like blueberry cheesecake with ice cream. It is going to be messy. Snow ice cream with blueberry sauce drizzled over top. How articulate. Mmmmmm. What did you get? I’ve got some pan-fried dumplings. They are very similar to the Korean gun mandu we often had when we were living as teachers in Korea. Let’s see if these areas good. They look hot. They’re pretty good. Someone found his favorites here. What started as just a little snack out here at the market has turned out to be a full on feast. I’ve got dim sum and fried spring rolls. Looking good. I got this – German sausage. It is very good. Krap. In case, we didn’t quite have enough to eat – a sweet little dessert treat. That is banana egg roti with lots of chocolate and condensed milk drizzled over top. I’ve now traveled to over forty countries and I’ve yet to experience street food that can compete with Korea. Known locally as Pojangmacha, you can tantalize your taste buds with spicy,savory, salty and sweet street snacks. Two of my personal favorites include hotter. The following is a guide to some of our favorite Korean street — warning — I hope you ‘re not hungry while watching this. And we are going to show you the different kinds of food you can buy in this alley. So that looks pretty appetizing. What do you have there? It sure does. Well we found some food on a stick here. Different kind of battered food objects. So if you want to take a look. We’ve got what appears to be a rice cake, kind of a lobster roll and as we go down a bit lower sort of like a hotdog/sausage thingamajig. And this is our first little snack food of the day. It looks tasty. Let’s try it. Okay, I’m going to have the rice one. Very classy!Mmmmmm. Nice. Alright, now you are up. What are you going to have? I’m going to take a bite of the hotdog. Scarf it. Mmmmm. It’s nice and spicy. Is it?This is really good. Yeah. You’ll have to try this one. 호떡? 얼마 죠? 1000 원입니다. Okay, so we have got a delicious treat here called Hotteok. And it’s a fried kind of sweet treat. Inside it’s filled with cinnamon, honey and sugary kind of goodness. You bit into it and it’s really warm. Perfect for the fall or winter. So I will take the first bite here. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That’s good. Mmmmmmm. . . . hahaSo we’ve found ourselves a nice little back-alley to enjoy it. We’re going to feast on the hotter. It’s delicious. Show us how it is done. It’s hot. It’s hot! Oh nice! The gooey-ness. It’s made of honey. Malt. M A L T. Actually honey is liquid right? We boil this for one week. We make it solid because I have to show you a performance. It’s hard. This is cornflour. Make a hole. Like this. Like this. Stretch. Stretch. Little by little. I have a clump of candy in my cheek. Nice. We just bought some sticky rice taffy and it is all natural. It is very sweet. It is kind of like a chewy candy. This would appear to be ice cream in some kind of cane. Look at what we’ve got here. Nice. Big enough? Go take a bite of that. Take a look at this. I think it is big enough to share. Well, good. Is that the biggest ice cream you’ve ever had? Yeah, that is really good. If you’re looking to try Korean street food Insadong is one of your best bets in the entire country let alone Seoul. Speaking Korean. When traveling to Korea don’t be afraid to sample as many Korean street food snacks as you possibly can — your taste buds will surely be rewarded. Today we’re on a quest for Macanese food. We love to eat and we’re always excited to try new things. Background music playing. So this little treat over here is called and it is a popular Portuguese pastry made with eggs. And I’m going to have my first bite. It’s kind of Macanese food egg tart. Chinese and Portuguese inspired. How is it? It’s nice and sweet and the egg is really fluffy. Almost like a souffle. What do got there? A piece of meat. Is it good? It’s like bacon. So time for our second treat of the day. And we found a quiet little back alley away from some of the busy main pedestrian areas. And we’ve got some almond cakes here. These are also a Macanese specialty. Oh yeah, those are real good. They remind me of Christmas shortbread cookies that you have for the winter holidays. That sounds tasty. Melt in the mouth. Let’s look at those again. Yum. Background music playing. So we’re here at a local eatery just down a backstreet in Macau and we’re here to try a pork chop bun and we’ve also been given a black soy milk drink, so we’ll see what that is all about. Okay, first I’m trying soy milk in my whole life. Mmmm is it sweet? This is sweet, yeah. Does it have a kind of a rich flavor? I don’t know. You try it. Yeah, it definitely tastes like sweetened soy milk. A little bit similar to almond milk as well. I can also taste the black bean a little bit too. Background music playing. Time to try this famous pork chop bun here in Macau. Mmmmmm. That’s really nice. Is it? It’s a soft warm bun fresh out of the oven. I think it may have some butter. And the pork is just so flavorful. Save some for me. No. So it’s starting to get really hot outside so we treated ourselves to a nice little pearl tea. Um, I think the origins of this are actually Taiwanese but it’s really popular here inMacau, so we’re adding it to the video. Background music playing. Tonight is our very last night in Yangshuo – a charming little town – in SouthwesternChina. We’re going to show you around the main strip. Our first stop is going to be the street food market. I haven’t eaten in like in maybe two hours. You’re officially starving at this point. Starving. Ravenous. What are you going to have? Some meat. Ooh la lah. On a stick?Alright, happy boy with his meat. Let’s see how this tastes. Is it hot? It’s very tender and very smokey. It’s well seasoned. It is good stuff. I noticed that she put lots of spices while she was cooking this for us. It is really spicy. I’m just tasting that now. Oh, it’s hot. That’s got some nice kick to it. Another favorite of yours. What are you having this time? We’re getting the ever popular backpacker meal – the banana pancake. This time Chinese style. Alright, big bite. Piping hot. I can barely hold this. This is a different style. They actually smooshed the banana and put it right in the middle. As opposed to cutting it into little slices. Is it tasty? Yeah, it is good. Okay, so what are you eating right now? Well, nothing better to do at the night market – theJonker street night market – than to indulge in street food. We’ve got a refreshing little dish right down here. Take a look at it. Different kinds of jellies, beans and shaved ice with sweet coconut milk and a bit of cane syrup. Oh, is it ever good. A perfect way to beat the heat. Okay, so right here we’ve ordered something that is called carrot cake. I am not seeing any carrot so far but it looks really tasty. Let’s see what this is. It smells good. Is it good? How would you describe it? I would say it is like a Pad Thai without the noodles. You have the bean sprouts, you have a little bit of tofu, some egg, some peanuts. Awesome. I don’t know where the carrot name comes from. I just bought some sugarcane juice. It is really sweet and refreshing. I love that they gave us lots of ice. It’s perfect. Perfect for a hot night like this. Hawker Centres, which are open air food stall complexes, serve up a variety of inexpensive food. From Chinese to Indian and Malaysian to Indonesian there is a diverse selection of cuisine to choose from. We’re having our first lunch here in Singapore at a Hawker Center and I’ve ordered myself some Chinese food. I have some Hainanese chicken rice, which looks absolutely delicious andI’ve got a butter chicken with butter naan right down here. Here is my dish – it is just a bit of plain rice and some chicken with crispy skin on the outside. Despite it looking a bit bland it is actually quite tasty. It is hard not to enjoy butter chicken – this is awesome. We’ve got a few more snacks to complete the meal. What are they? This is a combination of satay and dim sum, so we have sweet potato here and this one is the yam. We’ve got tofu cubes over here. This one is prawn and I believe that is a shrimp dumpling. I’m going for something a little sweet here. I have some kind of yam spring roll. ShouldI dip it in peanut sauce? Nah, just have it. Is it sweet? It is. It tastes like sweet potato except that it is white. This crab didn’t go on a skewer and it will taste good in the peanut sauce I’m pretty sure. We’ll mix that bad boy around. What is happening over there?Kind of chewy? Here is the crab! Nice claw. Oh, that is delicious. It is so juicy inside. As budget travelers these Hawker centers in Singapore are a real find. Because it is really expensive in Singapore – it is one of the most expensive cities in all of Asia – certainly in Southeast Asia. You can find dishes here for between four to ten Singaporean dollars and it is so much cheaper than eating in a restaurant. I like the variety that you can find at the Hawker centers. For example, today we had some Indian food, Chinese food and we also saw stands selling Malaysian food, Singaporean dishes and lots of other things. This Hawker center is by the Singapore Flyer but you can find them all throughout the city. Okay, the brave man going to eat a little a cricket there. Time to have a cricket. This is my first time eating one. Cheers. Okay, big bite. Stick it in your mouth. You try one as well?Oh no. It’s actually really good. Wow. It’s salty and a little bit sweet. Oh yeah, that good stuff. Eat another one. One more. There we go. Did You like it?This special one that we’re getting outside has a scoop of ice cream in it. Even more delicious. Okay, what is this little treat? This little tasty treat here we picked up in a bag. Five pieces of deep-fried banana costing only 2 Ringgit which is like sixty to seventy-five cents. Is it sweet?It is just as good indoors as it is outdoors. Background music playing. So tonight we are at the food market right by Chiang Mai Gate. We actually came here looking for the dumpling noodle soup but our favorite vendor is not here, so instead we are having dessert. Nothing quite like banana egg roti with chocolate sauce and we’re going to show you how it is ordered and made. One, please. Background music playing. Speaking in Thai. Pounding noises. Sizzling sounds. Your face like Arabic. Pharaoh huh? Look like Pharaoh. Arabic. Do you eat now? Yes. Thankyou. Chopping noises. Chocolate. Okay. Kop Kun Krap. Thank you. So this kind of banana pancake is popular all over SE Asia but this form being roti is quite different from the one we tried – especially in Malaysia. It’s thicker. It’s fluffier. It’s got a lot of bananas stuffed inside and it is just loaded with chocolate sauce and condensed milk. Background music playing. Ooh la la. Ready for the first bite. So good, so good that she is speechless. You can really taste the banana and the roti is very moist and wet with the chocolate sauce and the condensed milk. It’s just really tasty and probably not the best thing to be eating since we’re a health kick but we need a little cheat every once in a while. Yeah, that’s real good. The chocolate sauce is awesome. Even better though is Nutella. If you can find a place making it with Nutella that’s pure bliss. So this delicious little dessert / snack was only 30 Baht which is one dollar. Background music playing. Background music playing. So we just came back to Chiang Mai after a Visa run in Penang, Malaysia and also a short little holiday in Phuket. Are we ever glad to be back. One of the main things that we missed about Chiang Mai was the street food that we get really close to our apartment. Today we’re having one of our favorite meals. Background music playing. So let me give you a very special tour of my bowl. Ooh la la. So we have the yellow egg noodles. They look very nice. It also comes with some dumplings. Today it is pork. We also have slices of pork over here. Some bean sprouts and lots of greens, which add a lot of flavor to the soup. One of the things I love about this particular night stall stand is that we can add our own different spices exactly what we want. There is lots of chilly. That’s what I’ll be putting in mine. So I’m hardly putting any because this is super potent and I always end up making it way too spicy and then I can’t finish my dish. Let’s hope that is not too much this time. Noodles. I did make it too spicy again. Background music playing. So my favorite part about this dish is the wanton like dumplings. They are absolutely delicious and we’re having pork dumplings today. Tasty? Oh, yeah. So you’ve seen us film a few other food videos at Chiang Mai gate, but the reason we keep coming back to this place is because there is so much variety. There are so many local foods that we can try, so we’re constantly being introduced to new Thai meals. This is our favorite dining spot. Outdoors by the gate. Nice and cheap too. Samuel Jeffery, keeping it classy. You dripped!So the total for each meal is 35 Baht, which is just over a dollar. Background music playing.
Eventually apologized for the lack Thank you.
