Hi! My name is Joy Poonpoolpoke and I'm a foodie from NYC with a background in the restaurant business. I grew up learning to appreciate great dishes, restaurants and Thai home cooking.
My parents were born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand and moved to NYC to get married and raise children. My father was the executive chef of a restaurant called Teacher's Too in Manhattan and now owns and runs a Thai restaurant near Atlanta, GA called Baan Thai.
I've had the pleasure to also work in restaurants throughout Boston, NYC and New Jersey before moving to Thailand this year.
I want to share what I find with you. Travel tips, what to look for, the best dishes, bizarre & unusual things too! Sometimes I find luxurious foods, Michelin rated spots and overwhelming beauty. I find off the beaten path experiences too!
Please subscribe to my channel and sit back and relax, enjoy the show.
Let's hang out in different places and give food reviews together!

Crumpets are really nice. You toast them and put Butter on them and it soakes in. Yummy. Also M and S is expensive. Other cheaper supermarkets also have quality foods, But cheaper.
Give it up luv…..
Do you not think it would have been better to inform yourself on these products before making this video? A number of them are traditional bakery products that originated hundreds of years ago. Like our muffins, which I can tell you bear absolutely no relation to the ghastlyThomas's offerings so named in the U.S.
I can just imagine the staff watching this irritating female wrecking the shelves with Murder on their eyes. W T F
Soda Farl is Irish you can toast it with lashing of butter and jam you call it jelly or you could put on avocado and a poached egg. Or you could shallow fry it and have fried eggs on it with bacon.
Typical Yank, 65% of the time spent in the cake section. 🤣
U arent very exposed outside Usa!
now i know why all the food is onthe wrong shelf in marks n spencers
Ignore the rude comments, idiots .
The only thing you need to know about British food it’s better then American food ,yes I been to America and the food was terrible
I would die for a yum yum right now!
Typical American youtuber:' Oh my gosh you guys look what I found in the baked goods aisle Mince Pies! I have never heard of mince pies you guys. Hey shouldn't they be in the meat aisle?'
Many American TH-cam content creators always seem to be puzzled about everyday items found on British supermarket shelves and not quite sure how to pronounce the names of items. They act as if the English spoken in Britain is something of a foreign language to them. 😂
Anyway ……I’m British and Americans are just rude so don’t speak for me
My God, why is she manhandling things and just dumping them back on the shelf? Silly cow
Most inconsiderate to other shoppers and staff.Put items back properly! How unmannerly!
Every square yard of London streets, has a story!
Welshman here, living on the other side of the world these days lol. Welshcakes are very dense, flat and rich pancakes with the odd raison thrown in for juiciness lol. M&S are the 'Top-End' of retailers, classy but very expensive lol. Do take the time out to nip down to my homeland, if you get the chance, especially in high summer: I come from Swansea (actually, The Mumbles, which is just outside the city) I promise you, you will be blown away by the beauty of Swansea Bay! Head to Verdi's Cafe, built on the Promenade at Mumbles, not far from the Pier, for a view across the bay that has been compared to the Bay of Naples! Cheers from Brunei!
I still make Welsh cakes with the same recipe my granny use to use. My griddle became so heavy now I use a flat pan. Love them!!
One day she'll read the ingridients...
Why didn’t you put the items back on the shelf as you found them?
What a mess your making
It was a messy baked goods section before i got there!😂 Dont worry your head off, I only had one hand to manage with if you didn’t notice I was filming with the other!😛
just to let you know it is not chocolate in the welsh cakes it is rasins
What a stupid boring video. Pointless.
Camera work needs improvement!!!
Marks and Spencers food is no better than Aldi's or Lidl's but far more expensive. Their selling model is that if you overprice something customers with money to spare will think it's better quality when it's not.
The food is much better than Lidl or Aldi . No i don’t food shop at M&S but seriously Aldi and Lidl is poor
No idea where these unpleasant people in the comments came from. I apologise if any of them actually are English. We're not all like that but that's TH-cam for you. Anyway, - the teacakes are bready type buns, they are sweet and the dark things are currants and sometimes other dried fruits not chocolate chips. They have mixed spice in them too. We traditionally toast them and have them with butter and you can put jam on them too. - I've never had spiced fruit buns but they look similar to teacakes but with icing on top so you couldn't toast them. - never heard of Yumyums, must be a M&S invention. - Welsh cakes are hard to describe. You'll just have to try them. They are like a sweet pastry but not flaky and again with dried fried and mixed spice in them. They are denser than fruitcakes - hot cross buns are traditional Easter buns but people eat them all year round. They are quite similar to teacakes but they are smaller, denser and have a bit more spice in them than teacakes. - farls are soda flat breads traditional to Scotland and Ireland. Marks and Spencer food is known for being very nice but it's quite expensive especially in London.
Yum yums are not an M&S invention, they're actually Dutch in origin, but you do find them everywhere and they're basically like a differently shaped Donut.
People need to chill out in the comments..there was a lot to take in so moving between product was a bit fast..don't worry M&S employs enough staff to tidy them up..😂 M&S source every thing themselves pick the best of Scotland, England Wales and Ireland gets them shipped all over the country under the M&S brand..it was soda bread you picked up which is an Irish form of bread were soda is used as the raising agent and a hot plate the cooking source rather than an oven..a hope this helped and that you enjoyed your trip.🌹
Eat drink and be FAT. Like me....
Don't worry yourself too much over any negative comments you may get over this video . . . Yes, it's true that items are usually well placed and look neat by the stackers after it closes. However, go in any supermarket, no matter which one late evening or at night before closing, and you'll find things that were picked up earlier ending up elsewhere in the store when they change their minds to something else instead . . . I've seen a tub of strawberries (or other non-frozen items) just left in freezers - and kids toys or fridge items in with some fruit and veg. Sweets though (candies), you can find left in a lot of places, too. As kids may pick anything up, open it to try them, and then dump it if they don't like it. Whereas if the mother, father, parents, or whoever is with them see it, instead of buying what they've opened, will stick it up on a high shelf just to hide it to save paying for it . . . As for any cakes, buns, loaves/bread, etc - Americans don't usually like them while in Europe as they're usually not sweet enough taste-wise for them - (But, are far healthier though!) - typically because we either use a sugar type substitute if required, or none.in them. Cakes and buns can be different though because of any kind of icing used on them, which makes them taste quite sweet, to us anyway . . . Pleased to hear that you went back to place them correctly again, which is also more than some will bother to do as I said earlier . . .
I'm curious what American shelves are like if they're not organised like ours and how our chicken looks better? 🤔
It does. Deal with it.
Americans often think crumpets are English muffins but they're very different. I'm on keto due to inflammation and the thing I miss most is toasted crumpets with butter and marmite! 😋
What is keto ??
I put the Marmite on the hot crumpet first as it is nearly impossible to do so after applying lashings of butter! Butter and Marmite are the only two things that can top a crumpet!
@@twittlypoo yes, it's literally illegal to have any other topping 😂
British supermarkets are x100 times better than the usa ,better selection ,a lot more healthier items and way better prices on fruit, vegetables , etc
It was all nice and organised before Muricans came and couldn't be bothered to put things back properly!
Millwall fan. Nuff said.
Why don't you TRY things ? Bizarre - half the fun of going to another country is trying their foods. Weird.
Great video but here’s a tip - ore people will watch it if you turn the phone side ways and film in landscape - you filmed it in portrait mode - when the phone is in landscape / camera is held in landscape more people watch the videos and you see more of the place. I hope you enjoyed your time here - best of luck x

I have just stopped the video at3.30 when you were looking at the Soda farls, they are very much an Northern Ireland thing, I spent 40 years working in a bakery making them. To have the proper Soda Farl experience, get your Soda Farl, slice it in two, put a fried egg on one of the halves, two slices of fried bacon and some HP sauce, Put the two halves together and eat along with a cup of proper Tea, life does not not get any better than that. That will set you for a few hours work on a building site but no bloddy baked beans.
Marks & Spencers is one of the most expensive major supermarkets, with only Waitrose more expensive. I lived and worked in the USA in the 2000s. US supermarkets were much cheaper than the UK, even Whole Foods Market. were cheaper. Marks & Spencers are unusual because almost everything is their own brand. Typical UK supermarkets sell fewer own brands. Marks & Spencers also pioneered food and clothing. They were responsible for the concept of 'chilled ready-to-cook meals', and perfecting the essential 'cold chain'. IIRC, they were the first UK supermarket with part-baked continental breads like ciabatta. They even perfected 'non-iron' cotton shirts in-house. If you ever return, maybe pick a couple of things and try them? It seems weird watching someone find half a dozen novel, ready-to-eat 'baked goods' and not try anything. Crumpets _must_ be toasted, and I always toast English Muffins, also I'd toast farl, Welsh cakes, and pancakes to warm them up. I'd eat fresh hot-cross-buns, tea-cakes, and spiced fruit buns cold. A couple of days later, I'd toast them. I'm fond of fresh spiced & fruited breads/buns with cheese, but that might be unusual. Anything with icing are eaten cold. If you stay in Airbnb you'd have no problems toasting things. If you're in a hotel with 'public toasters' you might ask if you could try toasting 'unfamiliar UK baked goods' before buying anything. It's a bit of a shame you didn't tack on a few seconds saying you'll go back and straighten the shelves because it was awkward to handle the packets and record video. That might have endeared you to viewers. American's don't have a great reputation in the UK, or much of Europe. So sadly, you maybe were too readily misjudged. You might even consider shooting something saying that's what you did (against a neutral room background) and adding it to the end of this video to reduce negative comments, and save yourself time, effort and stress, responding to negativity. I skimmed your channel, and you have Thai food connections. I've only visited about a dozen countries (USA [about 17 states], Canada, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, France, Estonia, Gibraltar, Belgium, Norway, India, Thailand, Australia, South Africa, Singapore). I was fortunate to visit Thailand most months for more than a year. In my limited experience, Thai food is the best in the world. My simile is "like going from black & white to colour". You're lucky having such a glorious food heritage. Best Wishes. ☮
I learned something from your video, so thank you. As a 70 ish English woman I had to look up what a Farl was!! I'm glad you like the produce. Did you get to taste anything? Some of those baked goods need to be toasted or heat up to appreciate. I saw an American trying to eat an untoasted crumpet once. This item is mainly a conduit for getting melted butter into your mouth and really don't do the job untoasted. Personally, I would toast hot cross buns, tea cakes and welsh cakes as well. Probably that farl as well, I would slice it across ways and toast. They look too cloggy otherwise.
The way you just dumb the items back is NOT the way we do things in the civilised world 😡🇬🇧
omg….for the hundreth time Im replying to another rude commenter about the slippery packages of baked goods aisle. I only had one hand to pick up items while recording with the other. You need to chill out…I was handling the items gently and went back after filming to arrange them neatly. it just looks like “im dumping” but im not. For your information….civilized people don’t try to tell foreigners how uncivil they are from the way they pick up and put down groceries. I find ur comment rude.
That place is beautiful
So cool!
Can you please refrain from the hate in the comments. Thank you. ❤
British people or anyone who knows what these goods are can you please comment so we can learn what these goods are? Im getting the same comments about being ignorant and messy but that doesn’t help me. Im always trying to learn so I encourage positive comments❤😅
Farl is a brown bread made with baking soda as its leavening. Slightly bitter and crumbly in texture, lovely smeared with salted butter. There's also potato farl which is mashed potato mixed with flour and seasoning, cooked thinly on a skillet. Crumpets (what she originally thought were english muffins) are made from a yeast batter, thickly poured into a metal ring and cooked on a skillet, usually grilled and served with butter and toppings although I also like them fried in bacon fat at breakfast.
Yum yums are donuts, but not as dense in texture Crumpets to me taste very rubbery
A crumpet is a leavened griddle cake, cooked on one side only in a ring case to build the characteristic shape. They have something of a honey-combed structure, and a slightly rubbery texture to them that somehow works. You'd normally toast them, spread the top generously with a good, preferably salted, butter - which will melt and spread through the crumpet - and eat them while they're still hot. They can be messy to eat if you're not careful, but they're tasty. A "teacake" is a bread bun made with spices and fruit. I'd split one in half and, again, toast and butter it. Hot cross buns are basically also teacakes, but denser, and with more spices (traditionally eaten on Good Friday) - again, toast. Several of the things you showed are variants on the "bread bun with something in and/or on it" formula, basically. (As for your video title - Marks and Spencers branding tries to position their food halls as being towards the "luxury" end of the food market. Almost(?) all of their prepared/packaged food is own brand, by consequence, and most of it carries something of a price premium compared to the other main supermarket chains. To be fair, their products are normally good quality, and there are a couple that I buy regularly - but I get most of my foodstuffs elsewhere. It's a somewhat niche market position - especially as, when it comes to most of the others, own brand stuff is normally positioned as a slightly cheaper but decent alternative to the branded product. M&S definitely isn't in that game.)
I think maybe some commenters are thinking my tone is a negative one? 😅 Im actually just curious and honestly appreciating all the wonderful foods in England. My tone was meant to be one of curiosity and wanting to learn more about them. Wasnt meant to be one of negativity at ALL❤. I love England.
Friendly advice. Dont connect with idiots. They will just drag you down to their level. Your video is fine.
When she said Bramley apple hot cross buns I have was expecting her to say what's an apple 🙄
My video focused on the baked goods because your country has much different ones than ours. We don’t have these. Have you been to America? You will see it’s different.
Your channel name told me everything I learned watching the way you handled all the food you didn't intend to buy All that was missing was you insisting on speaking to a manager..
I think I was mostly just curious and wondering what these baked goods taste like. We don’t have them in USA. In terms of the way i handled the goods I was actually gentle but it looked sloppy because I only had one hand and couldnt organize the other goods on the shelf to make it properly straight and the packages were slippery plastic. I went back after filming to straighten it out. Eat Travel Love, Joy. Its a food and travel channel. Exploring things I haven’t seen in other countries. ❤
I was making a video for people in other countries who also don’t know what these foods are so we can all look them up or learn about them from British people. I wasn’t going to buy ALL of the baked goods when I couldnt possibly eat all of it. I didnt crush them or open them. I just looked and then after filming reorganized it.
Nonsensical comment.
Wth are you on about 😮
I thought you treated the packaged bakery items disrespectfully. Someone will end up buying them but you were squeezing them and then shoving them back on a shelf often not in a neat way.
I assure you I didn’t squeeze them or disrespect the goods. I was gentle. I didnt shove anything and that’s why they looked crooked because I didn’t want to shove them into place. I went back after filming to reorganize when I had both hands free and not filming with one hand. Maybe I should take the video down since so many comments think I’ve been man handling the goods. Fyi…they were disheveled before I got there. Were like that when I got there. The packages arent perfect squares/they are soft and the plastic slides a lot so they naturally don’t stay perfect.
No! You said yourself how organised and neat everything was and why can't it be like this in Murica!
I don’t know why the comments are being soooo rude to you. Aww this is so nice, I love it when people show an interest and curiosity in our food! I would love to show you around our stores and make you some of our traditional bakes myself ❤ many of the baked things you are looking at are great breakfast items! welcome to the UK!
Thank you so much for your kind words❤. I really love England and I love learning about the history and culture. I would love to be shown and learn about your traditional foods❤ next time I’m in England! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
Your ignorance confirms what we know about the American education system.
Oh so in America we should learn about all the baked pastries in every country right?!😂😂😂 Good on ya
Are you in all seriousness wondering why Welsh cakes, farls and hot cross buns are not an integral part of the American school curriculum? I think your comment displays its own level of ignorance.
Oh shut up, and you stop being the ignorant one
