- Taw Baw Pla Pao (ท่อบ่อปลาเผา) is one of the best restaurants in Udon Thani. Get more details here: www.eatingthaifood.com/2015/03...
Udon Thani has quite a food good local restaurants, including an amazing restaurant that serves beef, and when it comes to fish, Taw Baw Pla Pao (ท่อบ่อปลาเผา) is one of the absolute best options. They specialize and are known throughout Udon Thani for serving some of the freshest fish available in the city. The restaurant is located near the Udon Thani airport, so every now and then a plane will fly overhead. You can either choose to sit at one of the tables, or you can sit in a private relaxing bungalow - that’s what we decided to do - how could you give up the chance to recline while eating a meal?
The menu at Taw Baw Pla Pao (ท่อบ่อปลาเผา) includes all Isaan northeastern Thai dishes, and also some local specialties as well, but everything is focused on tilapia, which in Thai is known as pla nin (ปลานิล). Something many people order at the restaurant is a whole salt crusted and roasted fish, known as pla pao, but since I had been eating pla pao frequently while in Udon Thani, I decided to try some of the dishes on their menu that are harder to find.
We started with a dish called pla luak jim (ปลาลวกจิ้ม), slices of fish, boiled with a trio of herbs including lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. The fish was dished out onto a plate, garnished with cabbage, and topped with a handful of toasted fried garlic. The pla luak jim (ปลาลวกจิ้ม) was served with a side dipping sauce, similar to an Isaan style seafood sauce, that included lots of fresh garlic, chilies, and a perfect blend of fish sauce and lime juice. It was an excellent way to start our meal. The next dish that came was a plate of som tam Laos (ส้มตำลาว), green papaya salad doused in fermented fish sauce, chilies, and with a Laos olive inside. It was fantastic, always one of my favorite dishes at any Isaan restaurant in Thailand, and in Udon Thani, they make no mistakes when it comes to som tam.
But the dish that was the most outstanding was the laab pla (ลาบปลา), a minced fish salad, that was stashed full of all the delicious laab ingredients like fish sauce, lime juice, toasted sticky rice powder, chili flakes, and herbs like cilantro and mint. The fish was oily and moist, and absolutely beautiful. I loved it so much that I ended up buying two extra bags for takeaway after we finished out meal, to eat for dinner that same day.
Finally, the last dish we had at Taw Baw Pla Pao (ท่อบ่อปลาเผา) was bon pla (ป่นปล), a recommendation we got from the waitress. It was my first time to see bon pla (ป่นปล) on a menu, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It turned out to be similar to a fish nam prik, a type of chili sauce. The bowl included minced fish, with shallots, diced chilies, cilantro, and a broth that tasted to me like fish stock mixed with a bit of pla ra - fermented fish sauce. The bon pla (ป่นปล) was served with a plate of boiled vegetables to dip. It was excellent.
Taw Baw Pla Pao (ท่อบ่อปลาเผา) is one of the best restaurants in Udon Thani that I ate at during my stay. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the freshness of their fish is what really stood out. If you are in Udon Thani, Taw Baw Pla Pao (ท่อบ่อปลาเผา) is one of the top restaurants to eat at for fish.

อาหารไทยที่.1.ในโลกสุดยอดกับข้าวเหนียว
I'm hungry every time when I watch your video.
Another wonderful video Mark. This food adventure you are on just hit it out of the park for the fish lovers out here. We are in aww with the wonderful dishes you ordered this time. The pla luak jim look simply divine and mouth watering. the second dish laab pla was stunning at best, the colors and the sheen of the food got my gastric juices ready for a wonderful meal. I think since that you added the som tam laos to this food party just enhanced what is this food adventure. The final moment of this wonderful trip your on is the food to end all food, pon pla is enticing but wonderful looking food that will excite any person who loves good local Thai foods. As always mark you have done a wonderful job representing the regional cuisine of Thailand. Looking forward to your next adventure and keep them coming, regards to your wife and family Mark. God bles from Mike
Mark, I liked how you really described the flavor of these dishes and made me so hungry!!! Have you ever met a dish that you did not like?? You could hear the crunch and freshness of the salad, wow....I can really appreciate the freshness of the dishes. Great video and great facial expressions...so darn cute, I always look forward to seeing this!!!

Mark, thanks for sharing all the foods you've tried out there for us too see. My daughter and I enjoy watching your video.

Who usually film these videos for you? Your reaction after a bite is priceless man. Good work and keep being motivated to make more videos.
คุณมาร์คกินเผ็ดมากเลย ผมคนอิสานแท้ๆ อาหารปรุงธรรมดาก็ทานแทบไม่ได้เลย
I bought a catfish yesterday and I've been looking for a recipe to use it with, didn't want to go for pla duk fu due to deep frying and strong aromas in our small house but the laab recipe would be perfect for it. Managed to get some stink beans (still in their pods) in Manchester, UK yesterday too and thought of you! :)
awesome fish dishes and awesome setting too
You've grown to my next Anthony Bourdain :) Loved that show. So does I your videos

Always amazed at the variety of foods you can get in Thailand. Nothing like it here in Miami. Heading to Japan next week and have to hit the Thai areas in Tokyo to see if I can taste some of this stuff.
I would love you to make some videos on how to make these sauces Mark, they look so good!
Wow that laab pla looks amazing! I have always liked fish laab!
That foods are mouthwatering !!
Mark, I absolutely love your videos. This video is one of my favorites that I love to rewatch over n over. It's so comforting, satisfying, and miserable at the same time. It makes me miss my dad's cooking. I love your videos. I love very spicy food as well. I'm going to go make fish laab and sticky rice now.
That looked awsome wish i could visit thiland one day and try their food that dish looks really good..big fan
Thanks Mark for doing my traveling for me so I am able to stay home and garden some of those vegetables you use and eat. The food you show is fantastic. I take some recipes and make them my own. With your help we are eating more fish. Thumbs up Mark!

That was Awesome! Fish and seafood are my top favorite foods. Unfortunately, I'm in a landlocked state, so fresh fish is either imported, or found in high priced restaurants. I hope you do more on seafood dishes! Keep up the good work!
Mark Wiens I have been subbed to your channel for so long. Is there ever been something your tried, and just said OMG NO WAY? lol
fish dish are very nice
Mark, another enjoyable video...just a thought; perhaps in the future you can show some receipts for some of those great sauces !
I recall using a powder like hot seasoning on my food there..kind of had a texture of sugar..cinnamon color..and pretty hot. Used a lot on my Chow Pot( maybe spelled differently).
Craig from Texas ...Thanks
It looks so delish! Mark, can you also tape and introduce Cambodian foods? I used to lived there as a refugee and can't stop thinking some of their dishes😋
Mark ... Did you ever have a chance to see where the Tilapia are raised, and what they are fed? Thanks, Bud Miller
Hey Mark, one of my favorite Thai dishes that I've had in the US is the Nam Kao Tod from Lotus of Siam in LV, I would love if you could find some somebody that does a great authentic version of that in Thailand!
You sure do love your chilies, Mark! Seems like you've built up an immunity to them, just eating them like chips haha :)
Christina Basil Thank you for watching Christina!
Heyyy I really like the quality of your audio. What microphone do you use?
Hi Mark! It's great video!
Роман Володин Thank you
Very good videos Mark , is there any Thai dishes you don't actually like ?
nice
Are there plans to come to singapore?
Fishy comestibles !!!! The fish looks so flavourful especially topped with that sauce hmmmmmmmmm ^=^
tuyet v ngon thank
this can be seriously sold at fancy resturants in the West for over $18 without tax+ tip...
so many food in asia is very cheap relative to its quality... I mean they put some good/ diverse ingredients and sauce into their food and taste amazing.
Watching this early in the morning and it's making me really hungry. I always look forward to your reactions after you try each food. That's the best part!! :) the food looks super delicious!! :)
I LIKE when you eat, you look toothsome and happy so much .. haha
ps. sorry for my broken english.
Hi Mark, I'm in Udon Thani at the moment, can you tell me exactly where this restaurant is? It's not on Google map or Internet anywhere. Would love to try those delicious looking dishes you had there. Thank you very much.
Yai
Awhile ago. You posted a video on how to make this deep fried Thai egg pork dish. I don't seem to find that video. I want to try to make that.
your tolerance for spice is so scary! just eating a nibble of that chile would leave me burning and teary! haha
mmmm- fish! really fresh fish almost tastes like a different food from fish that's not....i had some n a restaurant on a river in ecuador once, & it was amazing. i asked what ingredients did u use? just salt & flour 2 fry it. it almost makes me not want 2 eat other fish anymore.....i live 2 far inland! :)
Hi mark. Are you living in Thailand? And I'm from northern Thailand, would you consider doing any videos near chiang Mai :D thanks
hey mark I love your videos they make me hungry everytime lolz...I wanna know how much chili or spice can you tolerate? has there any time where you say ok this is too freaking hot
Mark, when are you going to Laos?
Padaek is the blood and lifeline to Lao/Esan food !!
i miss when your hair was longer... great videos.. love them... lol
what a fantastic scene lol.. cheers
How do you stay in shape Mark!!!
Hey Mark..plz do some indian food videos...It will be amazing
This really makes me hungry mark wiens!!!!!
If its spicy count me in……
Since Esan is so close to the Laos border, you need to make a video differentiating Laos and Thai dishes.
Its Mark Wiens!!! :))))
the day is perfect!
and remember, i need (diping) sauce recipes :DDDD
You should travel to eat street food in Korea or other countries you don't usually go to. You should also just do some videos of eating in unique restaurants in the Unites States. Good luck and have fun traveling and enjoying mouthwatering dishes I don't get to eat! ;D
Oh~i like where country?
Thailand!!
Goddd!!! U makes me hungry so baddddd
