I'm Thai and I'm in the culinary biz. To me, the guy became well-known because he is a Celeb Royal, he easily gained a lot of media and air time from the beginning. But I've never once believe that he is a real chef. Just a foodie or a cook. at most. It's all about Status Quo. He was first known because his father were a famous Royal who love eating and cooking. Since the very start, his name and face just came up from nowhere with only 'Hearsay' ... Nobody know where he used to cook for ??? No real reputation or history of his real practice had been announced.

I'm Thai and grew up watching my grandma from Rayong and mum cook. When chef Mcdang said we don't measure or methodise anything, grandmas would just throw in what they feel like, I had flashback to when I was a kid helping my grandma prepare a meal. I would ask her how much should I put in this and that and she would get annoyed and say "just use your senses! Taste it, if it's good, it's good". People always compliment my cooking, but till this day I could never still get a compliment from my mum and grandma. 😂

One thing that I like about McDang very much so more than any other thai celebrity chefs is that he never pretend that Thai food is some super authentic cuisine that originated from the region but rather an amalgamation of influences from China, India, Laos, Malay, Protugese, etc and that's what made Thai cuisine unique. Some thais never want to accept that for some reason.

Saying that Western chefs are not better than him is not a sign of arrogance at all, it’s a sign of confidence that many non-Westerner chefs seem to lack when facing their Western counterparts. He has so much personality and is a joy to watch! Cheers! 🍻

Wow, just found this and so happy. I (American) recently married in to a wonderful Thai family from the Issan area, and while my wife is older, she is 9 years my junior. Sometimes I get tired of Thai food but maybe it's just the local buffet that really isn't Thai at all but an easy and filling dinner. Tom Yum gung is still my favorite dish but now I realize why there are differences in Thai cuisine. What an honor it is to watch this and learn from the master. I have passed this video link to family and hope they understand my intent of learn what makes up Thai cuisine. Sometimes a meal is in and out, I get that. But I love the complexity of a different culture and the cuisine they enjoy. Seeing the world with my stomach. Thanks again for this video. PERFECT!

@KevinJDildonik 4 ай бұрын

If you look at world cuisine, there are basically two kinds of frying. There are lightly fried foods spread from Portugal (see: Japan, American East Coast). Or heavily fried foods with multiple roots including China, Scotland, and Africa (Korea, Thailand, American South). You can usually tell which cuisine influenced a fried dish. Like in the American Midwest, your Chinese takeout usually has very deeply brown and crispy egg rolls bubbling up from the African tradition. On the east coast the egg rolls are often very light and almost doughy, from the Portuguese tradition. I haven't been to California but I suspect things go lighter again, from the Portuguese who landed in ports in San Francisco.

incredible as always! I really loved the breakdown on the core 9 flavors of thai cuisine, and wish Chef had even more time to discuss that model! Japanese food made a ton more sense to me once someone explain a similar fundamental skeleton for the cuisine: 99% of things boil down to different ratios of sake/mirin, soy, dashi, miso and sugar, and common flavorings = alliums, ginger, sesame, garlic (not native, indicative of Chinese-origin food, and all meals revolve around rice, unless it's a noodle dish). I've always loved learning cuisines via such structures, such a fascinating topic to boil a tradition down to as few fundamental ingredients as possible

More idea for you, since chef McDang mentioned Le Du, how about an episode about "chef table" scene in Bangkok/Thailand? Maybe chef McDang can help finding sponsors for some of the meals to help you lower the production cost :). Oh, and you can break pasturised coconut milk, even one with guar gum as stabilizer, if you freeze it. You probably will want to let it thaws a bit and pour out the sticky part (the guar gum) before using it in a curry though.

Enjoying your channel very much. When the world seems to be getting more divided, it seems food connects us more than geography. Politics be damned

As a Thai, and being a cook for decades, I found thai food to be the trickiest and hardest to make. I really appreciate the topic and the approach McDang takes to elaborate his points. The depth of knowledge he shares here is precious and precise. It gives so many new perspectives of the why even for us Thai.

I think it is because Thai cuisine is influenced by many cultures and many techniques involves.

Many influenced Thai food is kinda like "I want to make this dish here but I can access only local ingredient, but wait this version is also pretty good though" this is actually common thing in many cuisine but thing like this happen in Thailand over and over through history.

Bravo. Highly instructive and delicious video. Again. You know you got another screenwriting template for every one of the big cuisines of the world, right? Hope I see you delightning us in Saigon, Chengdu or Kolkata as well some of these next few years... Congrats.
