Eggs not fresh. The yolk spills out

Nah, it's strictly bull. We are fed (no pun intended) a lot of nonsense about germs and what "makes you sick", especially when you go a travelling. Water is definitely a real risk, as it often is to the locals, but if the place is busy then it's probably more hygienic than a restaurant where they don't have the customer looking over their shoulder! I'd get lunch at a street vendor over a restaurant any day. You can see exactly how the food is made, it's cheap and the food will be fresh that morning. Obviously you have to be sensible but street food has never done me wrong (except for when it's too spicy!!).

we of the poorer class eat stuff that would give others with weak stomachs diarhea but i still maintain hygiene.

I have always had a question about cooking hygiene that this video reminded me of(this is universal, nothing to do with Thai). How is it ok to touch raw meat with the same spatula you serve the meat with when its cooked? This guy keeps them basically on the pan so I imagine they are well over 100 degrees, but normally in America you flip raw chicken with the same tongs you use to take it off the grill and there is no cross contamination. I don't get it, but I'm probably being dense, like Bill Burr not understanding how something as heavy and metal as a cruise ship can float, especially when you put a pool in it.

I spent 4 months in Cambodia and Thaïland,i've eaten in street food like that all over the place and i never had any stomachache or dirrhea. The only time i get sick was because of the bus AC lol

Khaitoon Katy Kendall you are completely right, we europeans eat so much "classy" and tasteless food that passed hundreds of health inspections that it gets to you lack of everything. Therefore, when we eat like that we have the runs: diarrhea happens.

ha. thanx :)

mixolydian mode and fun fact, everything in Thai land is super cheap! One pad Thai like that would cost less than one dollar American where as a Golden Arches cheese burger would cost about one dollar plus tax depending on where you live.

@@austin4211luckE Thailand is not cheap anymore sorry

Thailand 's the best places in the world that it mike!!!

w3t80y123 its not cheap anymore because of the recession that was caused by Covid 19

Fried??

🙉🙊

Aroiii

I think it kinda looks nasty

4.7 million to this date.

And is now 4.7M people

over 4 million now

He is not wrong.

4.8 :)

thats cuz you like pad thai:)

the peanuts no, the sugar yes ** actually I think it was coconut powder lol

+Selim YOU could be right about it being coconut powder. It looked like a very tasty, well done dish none the less. I think that I will give it a try in my own kitchen at home. Cheers!

Selim It's peanuts powder. Who eats Pad Thai with coconut powder? Pad Thai is good with peanuts but It's ok if you wouldn't like to put it in. Even some Thai people don't like putting peanuts in their Pad Thai too.

olskoolnewpaint In MY COUNTRY they refer to me as White or Caucasian because that cartoon picture that I use for posting my comments is NOT me. It is merely a caricature that I have chosen to use as a symbol. And I do still love Pad Thai. I even make it in my own kitchen at home.

PORKULATE i love you already , what a man nice man.

+Martin lol you don't say, you never see thai people eat pad thai.

+D4M45K1N0Z , so i guess the rice noodles are no lighter or better for us than the "american" or "Italian" pastas?! :-((

+Terri Medlock It should be :) Pad thai is made from egg noodles if I'm not mistaken. Rice noodles > Egg noodles (fatwise). It shouldn't be a problem though as long as you walk once in a while :) I'm 6'3" and weigh 160lbs and I eat and drink whatever I want but also take a 1h walk every day :) (not on vacations though hehe ;) )

+Anuoluwapo Ajayi i know plenty of ppl who make food on street and sometimes they use products that should be kept in the fridge, but they don't have any, so it just stands for 1-2 days in normal temp. Usually the tempo is just right, but if not - they are not going to waste that... You just eat something they wouldn't make for themselfs. Keep that in mind.

not where I come from Karaon

+Anuoluwapo Ajayi Very Nigerian ? LOL you are Nigerian or you aint lol VERY hahahaha

Don Mega to each his own,not all are bad

+Anuoluwapo Ajayi like rolling the dice way good or way bad... But i supose its not hard to tell by the look of the vendor and the length of the line. Street vendor for tye Win... Or the food poisoning.

then it is not pad thai. It will just be more of a stir fry. Pad thai is salty, sweet, and spicy.

Sorry, what I meant is that I dont put sugar on it after cooking it. I dont mind if the sugar is melted in the sauce.

You should try Thai water its good

***** That is a great story. lol And I just now noticed that you are a girl...makes it even funnier.

+//Jennifer // its because in asia, they serve less because people there are small, plus it not like america where everything is supersized serving.

+Jennifer K. - I love thai food.

u need a goddamn sleep bro

That is not sugar, it's crashed peanut to help reduce the sweeten and sourness of the pad thai sauce.

Lots of ginger I presume ?

@@peerx7866 pad thai doesnt have ginger in it traditionally but maybe some do

It's a mix of Sriracha, fish sauce and some other stuff if I'm not wrong.

It's a tamarind sauce.. I dont know what else is in there but its awesome.

missmya3972​ I just made it yesterday and yep it's tamarind. It was awesome :D

I love pad thai!! I would make it today but where I live it's hard to find fresh bean sprouts : /

missmya3972​ ah I see.. I'm in Malaysia and bean sprouts are everywhere because it's in most dishes but you could try to grow them really. They grow real fast and are easy to grow as well :)

เต้าหู้ยี้เหรอครับ

ไทยก็มา

Fresh tofu( its hard like cheese. Not soft.) Not shredded carrot thats shredded dry radish( the sweet flavor one). And that sauce is the combination of lots of things: fish sauce, teramind sauce, shrimps other parts.etc

Thats not salt. Thats sugar haha

Aderablebin thats tamarind btw sr wrong spelling.

cool thx

Hexus Ziggurat it's not chilli sauce of tomato sauce it's pad thai sauce

It was crushed peanuts and sugar.

My Lo Ive never gotten pad thai with sugar coated like that. is that common in thailand

A Pirrone I have no clue since I'm not from Thailand. So I cannot say. :)

oh you answered it quite confidently thats why.

Better coated with sugar than salt right? Lol. I do know thai people who add more sugar to their pad thai. Thai dishes are usually sweet but it really depends on the person preferences. Pad Thai is my number dish for thai cookings. That's why I know a little about it. :)

obviously not

Come to​ eat​ in​ Thailand.

Tofu u dumbass

They look like squash.

+DEE ZEE you look like tofu

Maybe the customer found it too spicy?

zoomzoombabe, but he didn’t even eat start eating it. Or maybe he’s familiar with the tastes of that spot. Would make sense then. Still a lot of sugar.

It's peanuts --"

SEND NSA UP IN HERE

It’s usually just a mixture of tamarind, palm sugar, fish sauce & chili sauce/flakes

@@sweetflakes can you use tom yum paste instead?

@@oattahusenadryy479 no way that is totally different.

@@sweetflakes but it contains fish sause, sugar and chilly. Only tamarind is gone but people say that you can use lemon juice instead

Henrik Martinez peanuts and then coconut powder

+Rida Fatima really, oh well even better ;)

Coconut powder for the win! I'd ask him to double that amount!

+Henrik Martinez drugs perhaps

+Henrik Martinez That's sugar. And that was insane amount. By the way, I'm Thai.

Go to Thai Market, 107th and Amsterdam!

Sugar

James Long what's so hard about washing the banana leaves thoroughly with cold water, steaming them killing all germs and then using them to serve food on?

James Long i am being realistic, also it depends where he gets the banana leaves, he could always just pay some kids to clean the leaves for him in exchange for a few baht. it's risky cause they may screw up and not do it all the way. but if they do it correctly he'll ask them to do it again tomorrow. it saves him money from buying the styrofoam containers, he uses some of that to pay the kids. that in turn will help him make a little more money. just cause some don't do things like that properly doesn't mean all of them don't. am i wrong? i love street food, which is why i can say this. it depends on the vendor.

James Long but part of why serving his pad thai in banana leaf is so good is cause the leaf itself will instill some of it's flavor into the noodles. the authority might let him if he's close enough to get them fresh on a daily basis. like if he's within 2 miles from getting his banana leaves i think they'd let him do it.

***** i like your think so much and like your video

+69op2gg1005ify0m Thats quite a normal amount of sugar for a pad thai lol

+69op2gg1005ify0m sweet and spicy

+69op2gg1005ify0m I think you'll find that's crushed peanuts not sugar!

+utubecomment21 finish watching the video...white stuff at the end is defo sugar

69op2gg1005ify0m the white stuff maybe, but the two spoons of brown stuff is more than likely nuts of some sort.

+Alanviation haha my opinion of Thailand went down good job trying to make yourself look cool by talking crap

You must realize that not all Americans are fully American, meaning that there are immigrants who still use many traditional spices. Check your privilege before posting these comments.

American foods really sucks, lots of unhealthy ingredients.

+Alanviation You really need to calm down, don't sound so aggressive. I am also Thai and it reflects badly on Thailand. Just explain, you don't have to have a go. But yes, the stains you see on the pan are left from difference sauces and spice, not that it is unclean. Although I do admit there are some unhygienic street foods in thailand which everyone tries to avoid. As for this one, I personally think it was relatively clean.

Everyone on this post needs take a step back. I mean every food from different countries have their own uniqueness to it and many find it appealing. I don't agree with Original poster (op) that American cookings are bland. I mean you can't really compare, that's like saying an orange is better tasting than an apple, just because op doesn't like it doesn't make it bad. And whether it is healthy or not is really not the issue, there are many foods in thailand that are unhealthy. Thing is, American, Indian, Italian, Thai, every cuisine have gone through the process of local selection, the great tasting ones stay for others to taste and the bad tasting ones fade away, in other words they exist because people like them. I like every cuisine, and even if i don't who I am to say it is horrible when it is obviously not. I apologise for my fellow Thais for being disrespectful. *To Thais:* I understand you are trying to protect our culture but being hostile back isn't going to help. You don't like it when someone said they find some of our food unhygienic or disgusting, what makes you think it is a good idea to behave the same way. Some people simply don't understand why the pan was dirty, so simply explain to them. Thais are naturally very friendly to everyone, so lets keep it that way.

James Long no offense taken, no problem ... I understand all that you are saying and sad that the world has become so regulated. Namaste.

BarbaraL Lowell

Right? The sugar.

Stop the Philosophical Zombies i think he likes it sweet hahaha

The red dye #2?

Do you know the amount of sugar they put in Chinese takeaways? Besides it's cocanut powder. And that red dye is chilli..

It’s super normal for Thai people to add sugar to their food. Sugar is a table condiment the same as like salt and pepper for us there. They also have vinegar and chili’s as well. In Thailand the food is made the same, same spice level no substations so you are supposed to alter the dish at the table for your taste with the condiment tray. Pad Thai is like the most basic noodle dish there so everyone has their own way they like to eat it.

lol yea. Maybe its not sugar but salt :D

Don't talk too much doesn't mean you're stupid

Let me guess ... you're black?

girlgreenivy no it's sugar and peanuts lol.

its not coconut powder for sure.

Well the things he picked up are cooked through so I don't see the issue?

The issue is that the tongs also touched other raw ingredients that are not cooked and also sitting in the hot Thailand climate, not refrigerated and is how you get food poisoning. It's very basic food handling safety and I can't believe you don't know that. Chicken is one of the main culprits of food poisoning as well.

meagainok Naturally I know about salmonella but it's contained when in a cooler, which the ingredients are. Again, all the things he picked up with the tongs are cooked through. By your logic you shouldn't eat chicken because that causes food poisoning, right?

+meagainok So you make a big deal out of the fact that there's bacteria over the tofu? That inherently doesn't matter because the tofu is the same temp as the chicken, being refrigerated in the cooler. All those ingredients GET COOKED THROUGH so the bacteria get killed.

Whatevs. You will never get it. End of conversation.
