- Fai Klom Thana, a restaurant in Bangkok, serves a marvelous plate of soft shell crab fried with herbs and chilies. Get all the details here: www.eatingthaifood.com/2014/08...
Located in northern Bangkok, pretty close to the massive PTT headquarters, which is the state owned oil company in Thailand, is a restaurant called Fai Klom Thana (ร้านไฟกลมธนา). They mostly make stir fried Thai dishes, sort of Chinese influenced, and everything we ate there was quite tasty. The restaurant attracts many people, especially office workers in the nearby buildings. But although Fai Klom Thana (ร้านไฟกลมธนา) is located right in Bangkok, it’s down a quiet neighborhood street, so it really feels like you’re removed from most of the city - so it’s a nice eating environment.
Anyway, we started off with an order of tod man goong (ทอดมันกุ้ง), small shrimp patties, deep fried to a crispy. I’m not usually a huge fan of patties, so these weren’t my favorite - but they were pretty good for what they were. It sort of tasted like a shrimp hot dog to me, which crispy edges - good but not mindblowing. They were served with a sweet dipping sauce that tasted like honey.
Next came a plate of kana pla kem (คะน้าปลาเค็ม), Chinese broccoli stir fried with salted fish. This was probably one of my favorite Thai dishes I ordered at Fai Klom Thana (ร้านไฟกลมธนา). The vegetable was stir fried on just the right high fire, so it was cirp and incredibly fresh tasting. The taste of the salted fish contributed nicely to the flavor, and though it was a bit salty, it was extremely tasty.
Similar to Thai tom yum soup, but a bit different, tom klong pla chon tod (ต้มโคล้งปลาช่อนทอด), was an amazing dish we ate here. The difference between Thai tom yum soup and tom klong pla chon tod (ต้มโคล้งปลาช่อนทอด), is that the ingredients, namely the herbs and spices are first fried before adding them to the soup in tom klong. Anyway, it was extremely flavorful and I could taste the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and those wonderfully fragrant deep fried chilies. The soup was sour, spicy, and extremely soothing.
Ok, finally let’s move on to the boo neem pad prik tai dam (ปูนิ่มผัดพริกไทยดำ), the soft shell crab dish. I had no intention of ordering soft shell crab, but when I saw it on the menu, there was no way I was going to be able to resist - soft shell crab is one of the finest things to eat. The crab was first deep fried, and then it was stir fried with an array of peppers, onions, green peppercorns, and kaffir lime leaves. The soft shell crab (ปูนิ่ม) was so crispy and so flavorful, and what I especially loved was the amazing flavor of the kaffir lime leaves and the strong pungent flavor of the green peppercorns. If there was only one downside, the boo neem pad prik tai dam (ปูนิ่มผัดพริกไทยดำ) was a bit on the salty side, but it was still marvelous delicious and I would definitely eat it again and again.
If you’re ever in the northern part of Bangkok around Chatuchak, Fai Klom Thana (ร้านไฟกลมธนา) is well worth a stop for lunch or dinner. The food hits the spot.

Thank you so much for watching TeddieSook
I just started watching your videos a few months ago, having been to Thailand so many times, being a foodie myself, I have missed all the goodies.
My misfortune
Have a great time
"Breath of the Dragon." Aw, that all looks delicious!
Hey Mark, I went here... and loved it! Especially the soft shell crab. Bangkok really is a foodie's paradise!
That food looked awesome Mark. I might try to make the soft shell crab myself. Thanks for sharing.
Love the green peppercorns with fried soft shell crabs. Will try to duplicate at home.
Thanks!
Awesome!!
Love your videos. Very satisfying to hear your descriptions of food, surrounding area and all. Thanks for being frank about the taste of the food too. Great shots of the food as well. Don't see many videos where it shows detailed view of the food.
uuuh. stir fried veggies is going to be thrilling. I do like that you use that much veggies in Thai cuisine and the way you cook it of course. Thanks Mark Wiens
MARVELOUS....
Thank you Barnali's Kitchen
That dipping sauce for Tod Mun Gung is sweet and sour plum sauce.

Mark you are killin me. I am a food lover and an adventurous eater. But I live about as far from fresh seafood as one can get.l love your videos.
That crab looked amazing.
Thanks Perdomot
GREAT VIDEO MARK
AWE-SOME! Those were nice plates of thai food! Oh, i would love to try soft shell crab one day - they seem awesome! Thank u for another COOL video!
The green vegetable/salty fish combo looked absolutely DELICIOUS... another hot, spicy dish for contrast and you've got an AMAZING meal!!!!
TheSpritz0 Thank you, yah that was an amazing combination of flavors!
I don't even like seafood, but I'm dying to taste that crab! Seafood is always made with such bland or sweet seasoning where I come from. I always wondered if I'd like it more if it were spicy for I am as partial to spice as you are💃
Just discovered you today, btw, and may I say that you, sir, are an inspiration. Thank you.
That's some great looking food, mark. The camera work is top notch too.
Thank you Red Dragon Diaries

I love that vege Kana too!! Ohh and that pepper sauce from the crab is screaming hot white rice!!! Thanks for the post...another place for us to explore when in Bangkok.
Haha, thanks Audrey Tan yes, with hot rice it was amazing. Thanks for watching!
Hey Mark - The vegetable you liked so much appears to be what is called "Mustard Green" - looks awesome and the soft shell crab will be a must try next time in Bangkok.
Oh god. . Seafood goodness. Mmm.
Yes, glad you love it too Janice Chang
Crab is one of my favorite things in the world. I am just not sure I could eat a whole one like that. My brain and stomach would be at war.
Drool!!! Breath of the wok = "Wok Hei" is such a Chinese saying. I was surprised you knew it! It can make or break a dish. Yums on the soft shell crab!
Your video make me hungry all the time and Thai foods look really yummy >
Thank you Siriluc Puttachai
Everything you ordered looks super delicious!! You always eat so satisfying! 😄 your facial expression are awesome! wish I can taste authentic thai food!
Thank you Tsisokay
Omg!! I m starving now
I am so hungry after watching this.
throwback!
Everything looks so bright and fresh. Looks really good. The fish in that soup looked a little overcooked though.
Hey Tony Hyun thank you very much for watching. Yes, the meat of the fish in the soup probably was a little overcooked, but it was deep fried then boiled in soup, so it was sort of more like crispy fish rather then succulent kind of fish. The broth was incredible!
I love your videos Mark! You need to visit the Philippines! The food is delicious :):)
Wow!!! You are the Original and the Inovator of Yummy Face..... The Food of God !!!
The crab looked fantastic. We do softshell crab here in new Orleans. Might need to try it that way sometime. Also, very interested in the veg with fish. Looked nice. Thanks for another cool video.
Bobby B Thank you Bobby. I'd love to have some soft shell crab in New Orleans too!
Not even sure how many of these dishes I have actually had but if given the choice I would go for the stir fried vegetable. Thai broccoli is on of my favorite foods, I only wish it was not so difficult to find in the states/AZ. First world problems. Thank you mark for the great video. Any more news on the show?
We also have soft shell crab in Canada.
Mark, could you take us into the kitchen and get the chef to show us how to prepare the crab dish?
I love your facial expressions when you bite into yumminess.
Dear Mark, how do you stay slim testing all delicious food ?
Enjoyed your interesting video. The important thing for seafood is material's freshness, and that place is located very near from JJ market, so that easily obtainable fresh ingredients are doing great part of delicious dishes, I think.
Thank you Brian Kwon
Hmmm..soft shell crab where i come from is quite a bit more simple..just breaded and fried...i come from a place famous for crabs, but i have never eaten soft shell crabs. you make me wonder.....i remember as a child every weekend with the neighbors at the picnic table a a bushel of steamed crabs, corn on the cob, fried chicken, mallots to bust the crabs open...running and playing...funny how most memories are full of what is local
How do you not get fat eating so many varieties of delicious food?
Do you exercise a lot of have a stomach similar to those food-eating-contest champions?
Ah man Mark Wiens That soft shelled crab looked amazing! So so so hungry for that right now!! :)
Thank you for watching Travizeo, the travel video company
hi mark, of man everything looked so good. the crab and that soup so complex and beautiful. man im starving now lol great vid thx so much :)
Thank you for watching xcessive2008
Im gonna find a way to move to thailand. Lol im so hungry when i watch ur vids
Thank you ObeyBebes Swag Yes, that's a great idea!
Dude, your Malaysian food videos helped me tremendously when I visited Kuala Lumpur this summer, with my friend. Thanks!
Btw, I noticed you only have one video from the USA up - do you have more for later, or?
Hey MissionMetallica since I started making videos I haven't spent too much time in the US, but here's my playlist from Arizona: th-cam.com/play/PLeoy0zUu6bqnc69dLH1-4Y97HNVg-AG0b.html and Hawaii: th-cam.com/play/PL205644134CABDC4F.html
Mark Wiens Thank you!! :D Im from Denmark, but lived a year in the US. When I go back I definitely have to check some of those places out!
who cares bout USA all there is are burgers etc
pocky Fan I agree! Hamburgers & Fries!
haha i love how in the soft shell crab dish u liked the peppers the most ! after seeing a lot of ur videos i feel that u wd like anything as long it has lots of chili or peppers in it ! :P
taesub kyungsoosub Thank you Taesub. Yes, hot peppers, chilies, and things like garlic and ginger, really are my favorite things to eat.
One day when they invent smell-o-vision technology so we can at least smell the wonderful aroma of that food, your fame will grow even bigger!
Hey there Ying & Mark,
Thanks for another top notch video. The soft shell crab looked amazing! Too bad you didn't like the mushy texture of the shrimp fritters.....perhaps if they left chunkier pieces it would've been more enjoyable?
Keep smiling.
Jim.
evogardens Thank you Jim. Yah, I think I definitely would have liked it more with bigger chunks of shrimp.
I made those faces and noises when I ate at McDonalds an I got arrested for lewd conduct.
Mark Wiens I am so jealous of you, you get to eat all the delicious food :)
hey mark! new subscriber, love your videos. Ever thought of checking out the Philippines?
Thank you very much TNF. I visited the Philippines about 6 years ago, before ever making any videos, and I loved it. I would love to go back again. Are you from the Philippines?
Yes I am, raised in the US but went to college there. Hope you enjoyed our food; it may not be as spiced and/ or herbal compared to Thai or Malaysian cuisine but still has its unique and tasty flavors.
Hi mark
