Iam Mexican but the very first time i tasted spicy peanut Pad Thai noodles with tofu i fell in love with it and to this day its absolutely delicious because for me it takes regular noodles to another level, and i cant explain but its my favorite comfort food ever.
Same. Idk why people don’t like meatloaf. My moms is so good. I couldn’t wait for her to make it when I was a kid. I guess people have had meatloaf by people who can’t cook and think it’s all bad…
Fun fact: the Thai government wanted more food tourist but realized there was TOO MUCH variety in Thai cuisine (regional variants of the same dishes, etc) so they hired Thai chefs to design a singular dish to market to foreigners and increase patriotism. The name Pad Thai was chosen so foreigners knew it was Thai cuisine and also so locals felt patriotic eating it. Then it was brought to Hollywood and exploded in popularity in America.
@@livingfinance The entire popularity of Thai cuisine is due to genius foreign policy designed to support it and support the immigration that comes with it. Super whack to think about.
Here comes again. Wrong fact. Pad Thai was invented by the gov. That's right. BUT it was not invented to be promoted for Thai food and/or tourism. It was invented during the time of Field Marshal Plaek Pibulsongkhram to encourage Thai to eat more noodle instead of rice since, at that time, TH faced rice shortage. Its ingredients are local and common Thai ingredients eg. palm sugar, tamarind paste, fish sauce. Even the noodle is a specific Thai version of noodle called Sen-Chan which longer than normal. Plaek served as the Prime Minister of Thailand from 1938 to 1944 and 1948 to 1957. It was long before tourism indutry in TH started (from'80 onward). The TH gov just "ride" the wave of popularity of the dish among tourists. Also, if you tracked back in time -- documents, records, books, etc. -- you'll see national dish of TH changed from time to time. Example -- before the toursim booming, says, during '70, if you asked any Thai what should be national dish of TH, they would say it's Nam-Prik-Kapi since it's the most common dish for every houses. With the begining of tourism during the '80, the most famous Thai dish at that time was -- again not Pad Thai but Tom Yum Koong which many foreigners at that time considered it's Thai national dish since they like it and it's quite common to find. During '90 (note that it's also the becoming age of the nets) the popularity turns to be Pad Thai, which, like I said, the gov just "ride" the wave of that popularity so many foreigners mixed up that the dish just created. You are right that Pad Thai was invented by TH gov. But you are wrong to say it was invented to promote Thai food and/or for tourism because it's not like that in the begining. Not to talk that there were no tourism business in TH and/or popularity of Thai food abroad at all at the time it was first made (which was a bit pre- and post- WW2) Like I stated before, you can search for all of what I said from academic evidences -- books, records, etc. That's the way modern study -- including history -- do.
The funny thing about pad thai is that it's been invented out of an effort for national unity to use ingredients from different parts of the country. And as such it was heavily promoted and pushed onto menus by the Thai government. So for once it's not some American restaurateur, or a fruit company, or cultural ignorance that produced a non-traditional dish, but indigenous nationalism.
Is it served frequently in Thailand? I was under the impression it was like an ambassadorial food, where they were intending it to be sold to people who were likely to be culturally ignorant, in restaurants they were opening in other countries, that they were subsidized to open, and had a sort of cookie-cutter menu/recipe for opening a restaurant. sorta like if the US government paid people to open mcdonalds or starbucks overseas.
@@blarghblargh The element of an ambassadorial food is definitely present. No clue how much the dish, or variations thereof, are actually enjoyed natively. The whole thing is high-profile enough that there may have been actual studies, tho. Edit: After just the most cursory of skims, it seems the dish is commonly enjoyed mainly as a late night snack in Thailand, not a main dish. As such it is served in smaller portions and with less chunky proteins like chicken or fresh shrimp, but heavy on aromatics and tiny dried shrimp. So it's a kinda "yes, but" situation. Similar to how Americans eat pretzels very differently from how they are eaten in Southern Germany.
ผัดกระเพรา is absolutely one of my favorite dishes since I was a kid, and I loved buying it at seven eleven! Seven eleven in Thailand is just….*chefs kiss* and yes I am a native and lived there for a few years but then I moved to America, my mom still cooks Thai food ❤ and also, if you say 3 spices for it, it’s literally the perfect pitch, i5 my fav
I'm Thai. 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭 The reasons for this are 1. Pad Kra Pao is a simple menu and requires less ingredients. You can find Kra Pao plant and chili plant everywhere. Just trow the seeds outside, they grow easily. 2. It's difficult to cook Pad Thai at home, unless you're a veteran cook. You need to buy extra ingredients as well. 3. Most of the restaurants offer Pad Kra Pao but they can't cook Pad Thai properly. You need to go to the exact Pad Thai restaurants and unfortunately, there are not many Pad Thai restaurants in the countryside. So we eat Pat Kra Pao almost every single day 😂😂😂

We do eat pad Thai….what we don’t eat is tofu mashed like meat. We just eat meat kra prow and use the whole basil leaf not minced or whatever. Sorry buddy.
Depends krub. Although I agree that right now Pad Kapraw is the most common dish we order from food shops. As a Thai as well, long before the booming of tourism in TH -- during the '60-'70 -- , if you asked any Thai what is the common dish every house usually eat, it would not be Pad Kapraw but Namprik Kapi. So many viewed it to be our national dish. There were less people who eat Pad Kapraw at that time. Also the street food shops (which most of us ordered the dish from) were not popular during that peroid. Most people still cooked from their home. You can search for old books/documents to see what I said. With the beginning of tourism indutry in TH during the '80, if you asked tourists what is the most popular dish of TH, it would be Tom Yam Kung. Again you can search for documents/books. Later in the '90 till now, it would turn to be Pad Thai. You can easily see that the national dish judging by popularity among people (abroad and locals) change as time pass.
I’m Thai, and I can confirm that…at least in my family. We eat Pad Thai once a year or don’t eat it at all. It’s just not our fav dish(too oily), and I think it’s hard to find good Pad Thai in my hometown which is not in Bangkok. We do love Pad Kaprao. It’s the dish that you order when you don’t know what to eat. (According to Thai spelling, it should be Kaprao not Krapao. I know lots of Thai people still write it wrong 😂)
Yeah in my family Pad Thai is kind of the same to us. It’s not bad at all but we just prefer to eat other things. If I’m at a market I’ll sometimes get it if there’s nothing else that looks great as it’s rarely bad.
It's 2 completely diff dishes tho. If y'all don't eat Pad Thai, what then is the default if y'all want dry / stir fried noodles? Pad See Ew? Or are you saying dry noodles is just not a thing in Thailand?
I was confident I didn’t sniff glue as a kid until I had my mother in law’s meatloaf. She wraps the entire thing in bacon and now I’m questioning if maybe I did sniff that glue after all because I love it
@@pritpalsngha real well made meatloaf is fire, and some things aint that bad wrapped in bacon. I like a good meatloaf, not a mediocre one, but bacon wrapped around it aint it.
Ok but all this dude's jokes aside, these videos are a work of art. The cinematography is immaculate, Senyai is an incredible chef, and the narration is hilarious. Props to you dude, I really love your channel. I found your channel a few weeks ago, new sub :)
When my husband and I were in Thailand we ordered pad Thai SO much everywhere because we just love the dish. I could eat noodles every day. It wasn’t the best thing we ate there by far but we just love the combination of flavors in that dish so we couldn’t stop ordering it. Btw I LOVE Thailand so much, it was the best trip ever and I can’t wait to go back. I still drool thinking about the food that we ate.
This is one of my favorite dishes! I make it with ground beef, and if you don’t have Thai basil; use regular basil + mint 😊. Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines because the food is SO FLAVORFUL and SO HEALTHY. 10/10.
My understanding of pad Thai (as told to me by a Thai woman teaching a cooking class) was that people rarely cook it at home but it’s a very common street food. Somewhat like pizza for us I guess. We rarely make it at home but often eat it when we’re eating out. She did also say that pad kra prau is what she cooks at home the most because it’s so good and so easy to make.
Yeah exactly. I was wtf ‘course they eat it. I was in Thailand and Thai people were ordering and eating it on the street. 50 Baht for pad thai street food and it was tasty af. Granted it was on a very touristy street in Bankok but it was still popular ^^
@taweasmr I don't think it's just the touristy spots. Had the best pad Thai ever from an old lady with a tiny bike/kitchen at a random bus station with mainly locals.
My favorite dish is pad kee mao. It's hard to find it done right here. I usually just make it myself, but there's no asian market here to get Holy basil.
Honestly that's a great comparison. Both meat loaf and pad thai were made out of scarce resources. Pad thai was also a way to try unite Thai people.and became a global phenomenon after more restaurants popped up and it was the easiest dish for other people to try and like. My family only makes and eats pad thai IF we still got noodles from leftover Pho. Besides that I'm not ordering that at a restaurant because it taste like sadness.
The reason Thais don't eat Pad Thai as much as Pad Krapao is that Pad Thai has a lot of ingredients that you need to prepare. However all of the ingredients are much cheaper to buy in large quantities that it doesn't make sense for regular people to buy Pad Thai ingredients to make at home, if that makes sense.
To clarify all those non Thai’s out there, sniffing liquid-type glues that are addictive is pretty common in free government schools since they aren’t spoiled.
Damn, my Thai manager literally just told me a few weeks ago that her favourite food is Pad Thai. Should I ask her if she sniffs glue as a kid? For context, I work at a Thai restaurant. Lol
Pad Krapow is always my favourite Thai dish and if I see a place where Thai people are eating then that's where I'm going to order it from. It's probably one of my favourite dishes it's certainly a dish I crave for.
Can I just acknowledge the fact that he responded to more comments than my lazy self was willing to scroll down and read, either he really cares about his audience or we are his only friends. 😂
I've been making this for years, since having it in Thailand. You forgot to mention the other key ingredients. Add 1 tablespoon each of Oyster sauce, Light Soy sauce, Fish sauce and palm sugar as well, is very important. Then serve it with rice and a fried egg.
Duck curry is not a very authentic Thai dish. I don’t think I ever actually saw duck curry anywhere in Thailand while I lived there for nearly a decade. Crispy duck was more common, but I believe that is more of a chinese dish.
Purple Elmers glue sticks are underrated in smell and taste matter of fact. They are so versatile in puddings and rice dishes. You should try some soon!
the problem is that you would only find 1 out of 10 restarants that's able to make delicious pad krapaw lol it's the most popular dish but only few restaurants can make it delicious
As a half Lao girl that grew up on my mom’s cooking between Thai and Lao food. I can tell you the most common dish we eat at home is most likely going to be some sticky rice, thum Mak hoong, some sort of protein, and some jeow som…. Maybe some fried egg (lao omelet style) if anyone’s curious. Pad Thai style dish is just here and there but I think it’s more of like a street food
Isn’t “thum mak hoong” just som tam? Or is it slightly different? My mom comes from an area in Thailand where they speak Lao dialect and I’ve heard her call som tam that. I cant speak Lao but it sounds familiar
@@ScrumptiousRump The Laos version is called “Thum mak hoong” like the op mentioned while the Thai one is called “Som Tum”, both of them are considered papaya salad, although there are indeed some differences, The Laos one use something called a “Plara” or “Pladaek” which is kinda like a fermented fish or Anchovies sauce, while the Thai one used Fish sauce, kinda like soy sauce but fish, and they also add roasted peanuts, note that people in Thailand who came from the “Isan” or the Northeastern region which borders Laos tend to eat more like the Laotian style rather than the Thai style, now if I were to describe both tastes, Laos one is more pungent and has more kick to it, while the Thai one has more Crisp, fresh and herby feel to it
As a Thai, I love Pad Thai, but I can’t eat it every day due to it being high in calories. Pad Kra Prao with fried century eggs is a whole new level! By the way, the way he says “Pad Kra Prao” is spot on!
They had a very popular Pad Thai place near my soi in Nonthaburi that was always packed full of Thais. I was the only farang I ever saw there in all the years I was there.
As a Thai person, this is true. I never had pad Thai growing up until we celebrated something with the community. And pad kapow is my fav Thai dish lol
I love Pad Thai, I think it is already very tasty. But now that you mention this, I'm even more excited to try more Thai food!! If Pad Thai is already so good and it's at the bottom of Thai dishes, I can't imagine how tasty the others might be!! *__*
This is true, I’m not Thai but Hmong and my parents came from Thailand, and they never ate Pad Thai until they came to America. It was always Pad Krapow that we made and ate along with a fried sunny side egg
I don't know why foreigners, especially westerners seem to be extremely offended when we thais correct them on this, it's rather weird. There's so much more to thai food than pad thai and tom yum goong, so much more from central thailand which makes up most of the thai dishes that are popular abroad, and thats not even mentioning food from the other regions.
This was my favorite food in high school. I even did a final project in keyboarding class on “How to Cook Pad Thai”. I made it from scratch many times. I like it with tofu and a slightly higher ratio of tamarind and chilis to the rest of the sauce ingredients, with lots of crushed peanuts and cilantro and fresh beansprouts thrown on top.
lol my host mom in Japan asked me to make a traditional American dish and I made my family meatloaf. which is fricking delicious because I'm from the south and can cook. my host dad loved the shit out of it and ate like 3 servings 😂
@@thejackattack it's the poverty. Learning to make delicious food with bad cuts of meat and limited staples. Meatloaf is just ground beef stretched with crackers. Chicken n dumplings is just a way to make nothing but a chicken carcass and a few staples like flour into a huge pot of food, BBQ is just a way to make tough stringy and fatty meat soft enough eat and also use for other recipes. Pretty much every single food from my growing up is some form of poverty food. Pickled eggs, fried liver, buttermilk and cornbread, you name it.
@@SenyaiGrubs I love what you are doing. This soft vegan/vegetarian pressure of showing people that they can use meat substitutes does so much good for the environment.
Yeah whenever I said I was Thai in school, my classmates would first say “Oh that’s cool ! I love pad Thai !” But growing up I would share a bowl of pad krapow with a fried egg on top. One of the most delicious things someone can have. 😋
I spent months in the Issan region… Next to Som Tom, pad Thai was the most common dish eaten there… while the people there technically, ethnically Lao, they are still proud Thai citizens

When my husband and I were in Thailand we ordered pad Thai SO much everywhere because we just love the dish. I could eat noodles every day. It wasn’t the best thing we ate there by far but we just love the combination of flavors in that dish so we couldn’t stop ordering it. Btw I LOVE Thailand so much, it was the best trip ever and I can’t wait to go back. I still drool thinking about the food that we ate.
This is one of my favorite dishes! I make it with ground beef, and if you don’t have Thai basil; use regular basil + mint 😊. Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines because the food is SO FLAVORFUL and SO HEALTHY. 10/10.
My understanding of pad Thai (as told to me by a Thai woman teaching a cooking class) was that people rarely cook it at home but it’s a very common street food. Somewhat like pizza for us I guess. We rarely make it at home but often eat it when we’re eating out. She did also say that pad kra prau is what she cooks at home the most because it’s so good and so easy to make.
Yeah exactly. I was wtf ‘course they eat it. I was in Thailand and Thai people were ordering and eating it on the street. 50 Baht for pad thai street food and it was tasty af. Granted it was on a very touristy street in Bankok but it was still popular ^^
@taweasmr I don't think it's just the touristy spots. Had the best pad Thai ever from an old lady with a tiny bike/kitchen at a random bus station with mainly locals.
Is there that much glue fumes wafting around the streets?
@@chilibeer3912 If you've gotta ask, the answer is yes lol
Damn I never thought of it but she’s right lol.
Glue is nostalgic every kid back then was trying to get there hands on it 10/10 product edit: thank you for the likes mates
Nothing like the smell of Elmer’s
@@SenyaiGrubs agreed senyai
My favorite dish is pad kee mao. It's hard to find it done right here. I usually just make it myself, but there's no asian market here to get Holy basil.
I love your content. You're so funny 🙂
Honestly that's a great comparison. Both meat loaf and pad thai were made out of scarce resources. Pad thai was also a way to try unite Thai people.and became a global phenomenon after more restaurants popped up and it was the easiest dish for other people to try and like. My family only makes and eats pad thai IF we still got noodles from leftover Pho. Besides that I'm not ordering that at a restaurant because it taste like sadness.
Meat loaf is considered a war crime by NATO
Lmao at sadness
😂
I like the taste of tears. Recommend 4/5 stars
If you sniffed glue as a kid

I wish you guys will like Thailand.❤❤❤
The reason Thais don't eat Pad Thai as much as Pad Krapao is that Pad Thai has a lot of ingredients that you need to prepare.
However all of the ingredients are much cheaper to buy in large quantities that it doesn't make sense for regular people to buy Pad Thai ingredients to make at home, if that makes sense.
I actually am from Thailand and LOVE pad Thai. Definitely think it's under rated
... seriously?
No idea about Thailand, but it's definitely in no need of rating adjustment outside of the country
@@louschwick7301 So basically you just added nothing to this conversation. Good job.
@@zozocecp tf you on about? If anyone didn't add anything it's you
ผัดไทยแบบออริจินัลหากินยากแล้ว ร้านเดี๋ยวนี้ทำมัน+เลี่ยนมากๆ แถมเครื่องก็ใส่ไม่ครบ 🥲
I think so too because I can only find it at street markets
As a thai person I confirm that I eat pad krapow and doesn’t eat pad Thai 👍
As a major Pad Thai lover, that looks awesome 😁
Bro is the true definition of “Chaotic good”
Don’t be fooled. I am a bad person
@@SenyaiGrubs Thanks for the honesty! 😂
@@SenyaiGrubssoooooooo, Chaotic Neutral?? 😂
YES FINALLY AS A HALF THAI PERSON FINALLY SOMEONE COVERED THIS SIMPLE BUT AWESOME DISH
We out here my dude
To clarify all those non Thai’s out there, sniffing liquid-type glues that are addictive is pretty common in free government schools since they aren’t spoiled.
This reminds me of Mexican Guisado, which has ground meat and vegetables but just comes from a different place
Damn, my Thai manager literally just told me a few weeks ago that her favourite food is Pad Thai. Should I ask her if she sniffs glue as a kid? For context, I work at a Thai restaurant. Lol
Yes
I'm convinced people who don't like meatloaf have simply never had GOOD meatloaf, cus that shit is awesome lmao
Right!!
It's even better as a left over. Turn it into a meatloaf sandwich for work.
This! Fucking this! Ive had some insane meatloaf in my day, good shit.
In a Lao-Tai person and I love good meat loaf.
It’s literally called “meat loaf” bro that’s nasty pick one and commit
Raw metal on your Teflon pan=sniffing glue as a kid☠️
That elementary school meat loaf with the slab of ketchup on top was elite
Kraft Mac and cheese with Ranch kids grow up to be Meatloaf adults. They bring sodas or napkins to cook outs. And dress up for Chilis
Why is this so accurate? Are you an anthropologist?
Facts. As a thai, I can say, this is atleast 50 of what I eat. I just ate it infact.
Can confirm
@@SenyaiGrubs i didnt realise you were thai that's sick. and im glad this video exists, been trying to tell people for time
@@crunkky8736 real(good to see some Thai here)
Well written bro, I subbed
The meatloaf slander is off the charts
I mix a ketchup glazed meatloaf into my pad thai and add both to a blender. Pulse until desired consistency, and eat with boba straw
Woah I didn’t know you went to culinary school. Did you really need to flex on us like that?
@@SenyaiGrubs Says the guy whose legal name is Rigatoni
@@sethc6895nice one
Your commentary always manages to crack me up
Pad Krapow is always my favourite Thai dish and if I see a place where Thai people are eating then that's where I'm going to order it from. It's probably one of my favourite dishes it's certainly a dish I crave for.
I live in Thailand for a few months and yes Thai people eat pad Thai. Maybe not often but YES they do
Can I just acknowledge the fact that he responded to more comments than my lazy self was willing to scroll down and read, either he really cares about his audience or we are his only friends. 😂
He didn't reply to this one👁👁
As the child of a Thai mother, I can confirm that this is true 👍
Are we related?
That was my favorite food as a kid and still is, im glad I’m able to cook it now
Pad Kee Mao for me. Combination chicken, beef, and shrimp with lots of chili oil added.
Yup can’t find pad Thai at 7-11 but sure as hell can get that midnight Kraprao fix
I have yet to try that sweet sweet midnight 7-11 krapao
Nah. If you cannot think of anything to eat. My Thai brain goes "EAT MAMA BRAND NOODLES EAT MAMA BRAND NOODLES"
@@miserymaximized yum yum is another brand
@@miserymaximized Yes, but mama is a brand and Thai people are lazy are they called insant noodles mama
I've been making this for years, since having it in Thailand. You forgot to mention the other key ingredients. Add 1 tablespoon each of Oyster sauce, Light Soy sauce, Fish sauce and palm sugar as well, is very important. Then serve it with rice and a fried egg.
I was thinking where the hell is the oyster sauce.
As a person who worked in an authentic Thai restaurant in Australia (run by Thai people), yellow duck curry is severely underrated!!!
Duck curry is not a very authentic Thai dish. I don’t think I ever actually saw duck curry anywhere in Thailand while I lived there for nearly a decade. Crispy duck was more common, but I believe that is more of a chinese dish.
Purple Elmers glue sticks are underrated in smell and taste matter of fact. They are so versatile in puddings and rice dishes. You should try some soon!
Please more insider info videos about Thai food! It’s the absolute best
But my course for more insider trading secrets
Meatloaf with tomato sauce is one of several comfort foods I have. What people do in New Mexico with it is famb tasty. Never sniffed glue as a kid.
You pow the garlic-chill not enough. We need more
the problem is that you would only find 1 out of 10 restarants that's able to make delicious pad krapaw lol
it's the most popular dish but only few restaurants can make it delicious
I trust any short lady with a giant wok on the street.
As a half Lao girl that grew up on my mom’s cooking between Thai and Lao food. I can tell you the most common dish we eat at home is most likely going to be some sticky rice, thum Mak hoong, some sort of protein, and some jeow som…. Maybe some fried egg (lao omelet style) if anyone’s curious. Pad Thai style dish is just here and there but I think it’s more of like a street food
+gang gai
Isn’t “thum mak hoong” just som tam? Or is it slightly different? My mom comes from an area in Thailand where they speak Lao dialect and I’ve heard her call som tam that. I cant speak Lao but it sounds familiar
@@ScrumptiousRump thum make hoong is papaya salad. If that’s what som tam is
@@JuiicyDrew Yes you’re correct. They are both papaya salad. I’m wondering if they have any difference since there are many variations out there
@@ScrumptiousRump The Laos version is called “Thum mak hoong” like the op mentioned while the Thai one is called “Som Tum”, both of them are considered papaya salad, although there are indeed some differences, The Laos one use something called a “Plara” or “Pladaek” which is kinda like a fermented fish or Anchovies sauce, while the Thai one used Fish sauce, kinda like soy sauce but fish, and they also add roasted peanuts, note that people in Thailand who came from the “Isan” or the Northeastern region which borders Laos tend to eat more like the Laotian style rather than the Thai style, now if I were to describe both tastes, Laos one is more pungent and has more kick to it, while the Thai one has more Crisp, fresh and herby feel to it
As a Thai, I love Pad Thai, but I can’t eat it every day due to it being high in calories. Pad Kra Prao with fried century eggs is a whole new level!
By the way, the way he says “Pad Kra Prao” is spot on!
They had a very popular Pad Thai place near my soi in Nonthaburi that was always packed full of Thais. I was the only farang I ever saw there in all the years I was there.
Meatloaf is one of those foods that only depends on the recipe.
IMO Pad Thai is more like the sausage of the Thai culinary scene
I dunno I think sausage is the sausage of the Thai sausage scene
@@SenyaiGrubs hmmm well played my amigo
Me who’s watching this while waiting for the glue on my hand to dry so I can peel it off like I was shedding skin
As a Thai person, this is true. I never had pad Thai growing up until we celebrated something with the community. And pad kapow is my fav Thai dish lol
I love Pad Thai, I think it is already very tasty. But now that you mention this, I'm even more excited to try more Thai food!! If Pad Thai is already so good and it's at the bottom of Thai dishes, I can't imagine how tasty the others might be!! *__*
If someone told me their favorite food was meatloaf I would run away screaming( I'm an American)
In Texas I think you can legally shoot someone if they say that to you
@@SenyaiGrubsI’ll go track him down
Good meatloaf sandwich is god tier
@@SenyaiGrubs from texas can confirm this is true
@@SenyaiGrubs in Texas you can legally shoot anyone for any reason, it's the Wild Wild West
I love this dish so much, especially with a runny fried egg on top to make it super special.
Oh man, tofu pad kapow is my favourite dish from my local Thai place here in Australia, closely followed by pad ki mao.
Pad Thai is always the only dish that is barely touched at family gatherings
Right? It’s for the kids and picky eaters
This is true, I’m not Thai but Hmong and my parents came from Thailand, and they never ate Pad Thai until they came to America. It was always Pad Krapow that we made and ate along with a fried sunny side egg
They didn't eat Pad Thai as a street food either in Thailand ?
@@craigbryant3191 No I’m talking about their whole Village lmao, you’re doing the exact same to me 💀
I don't know why foreigners, especially westerners seem to be extremely offended when we thais correct them on this, it's rather weird. There's so much more to thai food than pad thai and tom yum goong, so much more from central thailand which makes up most of the thai dishes that are popular abroad, and thats not even mentioning food from the other regions.
@@kigurumiiI don’t think there’s very many people offended, just a vocal small group maybe but even then I don’t see anything.
This was my favorite food in high school. I even did a final project in keyboarding class on “How to Cook Pad Thai”. I made it from scratch many times. I like it with tofu and a slightly higher ratio of tamarind and chilis to the rest of the sauce ingredients, with lots of crushed peanuts and cilantro and fresh beansprouts thrown on top.
That leaf roll technique tho💀
been having a real, real rough day, so just wanted to say thanks for making content, your stuff always makes me laugh :]
Been eating pad ka pow kai since a kid it’s my favourite Thai dish so quick easy and tasty
Pad Thai has too many small ingredients you need to prep. Pad krapao is so much quicker to make you’re right
I can't even .... Did you diss meatloaf or am I that person 🤣
Meatloaf out here catching strays for no reason
Pad krapao hits hard
meatloaf is fire tho 😭
Glue sniffer
On God, bro.
😐 be so fr
if you cut holy basil, you probably sniffed glue as a kid
Meatloaf over here catching strays
lol my host mom in Japan asked me to make a traditional American dish and I made my family meatloaf. which is fricking delicious because I'm from the south and can cook. my host dad loved the shit out of it and ate like 3 servings 😂
Something about us southerners makes us automatically better at cooking than half the world
@@thejackattack it's the poverty. Learning to make delicious food with bad cuts of meat and limited staples. Meatloaf is just ground beef stretched with crackers. Chicken n dumplings is just a way to make nothing but a chicken carcass and a few staples like flour into a huge pot of food, BBQ is just a way to make tough stringy and fatty meat soft enough eat and also use for other recipes. Pretty much every single food from my growing up is some form of poverty food. Pickled eggs, fried liver, buttermilk and cornbread, you name it.
@@spanky814 It truly is magical how we can scrape any random bullshit together and call it a dish, and still have it be good lol
Bro just called 99999% percent of the world an alpha male wuss 💀
Fight me over it. You’re afraid of my bean fueled body
@@SenyaiGrubs I love what you are doing. This soft vegan/vegetarian pressure of showing people that they can use meat substitutes does so much good for the environment.
@@Andrew-pc8zn And for the animals!
I ate this at least once a day on my trip to Thailand with a fried egg on top, so good.
As someone permanently glued to a meatloaf, I would love some Pad Thai
as of being a thai person i can comfirm this is the most true thing i've ever heard in my life
Yeah whenever I said I was Thai in school, my classmates would first say “Oh that’s cool ! I love pad Thai !” But growing up I would share a bowl of pad krapow with a fried egg on top. One of the most delicious things someone can have. 😋
A crispy fried egg is indeed a pro gamer move
If it’s your favorite food you probably sniffed glue as a kid lol
This is basically the only thing Mark Wiens serves at his resto
I spent months in the Issan region… Next to Som Tom, pad Thai was the most common dish eaten there… while the people there technically, ethnically Lao, they are still proud Thai citizens
Yea I love when foreigners tell other foreigners how locals REALLY live

@@qualicumjack3906 lol well clearly nuance escapees you. You seem defensive that your comment was redundant.
the video claimed Pad Thai is a touristic food. I pointed out that Lao ethnic people (who have their own country) consider themselves nationalistic thai instead of based on their ethnic group. Now go scurry off and feel self righteous about something else redundant
