Bangkok Street Food Night Market | Phetchaburi Road

I'm actually really nervous. What's up, Thee Nation? We're back on the streets of Bangkok looking for some really delicious street food. So we're here on Petchaburi Road, just north of MBK, looking for some awesome street food to fill our tummies. It's going to be great. Fish. Spicy? Spicy. First bite. So these very kind people have informed us that we just bought a tilapia. A whole tilapia. It's grilled and covered in salt. So he just put some probably very spicy sauce on it. Oh my god. That green sauce kind of tastes like green sauce in Tex-Mex. Like really Tex-Mex-y flavor. I don't know how that's possible. I think I'm just really excited. That is so good. Look how tender this fish is. Oh my gosh. What is especially crazy is that this whole fish only cost us 50 baht. That's like... In Thai language, you can order this as Pla Pao. And that translates to the salt really gets into the meat and it like flavors it perfectly. Thank you. Yeah. Next we're eating fruit. Papaya salad fruit. So normally we just get fruit, but here we got like this salt sugar thing that I think you're supposed to put on the fruit. It's pink. Tell us what it is if you don't know. Okay, so next on our list, papaya salad. Okay, for all of you hip people out there who know about papaya salad. It's also called Som Tam. And we just had a very lovely lady make us some. And we asked for no spice because Som Tam gets really spicy really quickly. Here we go. Papaya salad is so good because it's like a myriad of flavors. You've got sweet, you've got salt, you've got a little spice. You've got like a fishy flavor from some dried shrimp. And nuts. Peanuts. Peanuts are the best part of it. So we bought some what we thought was like red sticky rice. It might not be sticky rice because it's like falling apart in my hands. But they said to dip the rice in the papaya salad and then eat it. So I'm just gonna like drop it in. They are hip to this. They know what's going on here because all the flavor is in the juice in the bottom. And the rice just soaks it up. This nice lady is letting me try. I think it's a maggot. Before we buy it. Ready? That's good. That's really good. I'm actually really nervous. Okay. It's crunchy. You know, that's actually better than I thought it would be. It's like a nutty flavor. So although maggots and crickets are not my favorite food. That was actually a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. Thanks to the lemongrass. I think she cooked them in. So now we're moving from crickets to chicken. Back to street meat. Mmm. Chicken. That's like that little boy who's like, Mmm. Chicken. This is not really for eating honestly. This is more for like taking off. To slide it off. Okay. We're gonna focus on this one piece. Honestly. You can't go wrong with like Beancock street chicken. It sounds bad. It sounds gross. It's not. It's really good. It's usually barbecued and like has a sweet sauce on it. It's really good. Mustard greens. And bean sprouts. Chicken curry soup. So excited. Oh my gosh. This is a big bowl. It only cost us 40 baht. I don't know how that's even possible. This is like a magical street where things are less expensive. Then we find them to be everywhere. So we've escaped the heat. Come to a little more of an ice cream type of place. I got sick last time I ate street food. So I'm taking it easy today. And I got egg wrap pad thai. I'm really interested to see how this is gonna come out. Okay. So because the King's Carnation is this weekend, we've been seeing flowers literally everywhere. Especially chrysanthemum. They're bright yellow. They are so pretty. So in honor of the King's Carnation, we decided to get some chrysanthemum juice. So I don't know if this is juice or if this is tea. Let's find out. It's a little less floral I think. It's kind of hard to explain. It's like, it kind of just tastes like sugarcane juice. Maybe a little bit of a floral hint. But not fruity or anything. Just kind of like a subtle flavor. So it looks like a burrito when it first comes out. It's just basically the thinnest omelette you've ever seen with the pad thai in the middle. Okay. So now switching to chopsticks. Very interesting. It's completely different. I've been missing ketchup at home. It tastes like noodles and ketchup. Normally pad thai has a dark peanutty sauce. That's not the case here. It's very tomatoey. And the egg is kind of covered in hot sauce. So that could be why. So tomato pad thai and an egg wrap. I think it's time for mango sticky rice for dessert. Mango sticky rice back in Thailand. And I have not had it yet. It's super al dente. The crunch. You guys that live in Thailand, you already know about this. It's on the top. It's not real. The mango is super ripe. So it's super sweet. And then the sauce on top just makes everything stick together. It's amazing. I am so full. How about you? Very full. To the point where my belly hurts. It was amazing to be back in Bangkok to do this food tour. We were thinking about not doing it. And I'm so glad we did because all this food was so delicious. Every night's a good night to do a street food tour in Bangkok. But tonight was especially good. Meatball curtains. I don't think she's going to make it. Can we make it? And we made it.
