Very gentlemanly of you to serve your fiancé. She sounds lovely & knowledgeable. I understand her right to privacy & appreciate you, Derek, for respecting it.
Every time we go to Las Vegas, we never miss going to Lotus of Siam, we go at least 2-3 times for each visit for which it is around 4 days!!! Unless you go to Thailand, you cannot find anything that is better than their food. The broth in both Beef Noodle soup and the Wonton soup is very flavorful, but our all-time favorite is the spicy thai ribeye salad, we get this with each order. You are worth the trip each time!!!
As someone from Laos (Thailand's neighbor) where we have many dishes that are similar to or the same as Northern Thai/Issan dishes, Catherine is right about the fried Issan jerky. Savor it in smaller bites! It's great with both sticky and steamed rice. Your jaw muscles got quite the workout, haha!
I have eaten at Lotus of Siam almost every time I have visited Las Vegas. I have always had a great meal there! There are 2 locations, the original on East Sahara Avenue in the Commercial Center & the 2nd location on East Flamingo Road. The 2nd location has a full bar, while the original location has beer, wine & sake. The 2nd location has a much better decor & atmosphere than the original! My 1st visit to Las Vegas was in June 2007. I have lost track how many times I have stayed on the Las Vegas Strip.
The prawn shells themselves are my favorite part of that dish. Fried so perfectly it’s almost like eating potato chips. Love lotus of Siam.. love watching you two also. Your fiancé has such a soothing voice and quite the way with words, always a pleasure to watch (well, hear her) you guys.
Derek I have missed the last couple of months 😢 Getting caught up with this being the first. Wow all your expressions were on display. Joyful eyes when you had the rice and the fried chicken. The almost pain while chewing the jerky. Also wondering where the prawn went only to find the Siamese twin prawns. Thanks for reminding me why I subscribe and am a member to your channel.
I ate there once because it was "an open restaurant around the corner from me" when I was staying at the next door Four Points (they temporarily relocated in 2017 after a roof collapse). Was surprised to learn it had such a reputation (sat at the bar, talked with staff) and had an amazing meal, totally worth the reputation.
The jerky, roughly translats into "one day sunlight beef," is normally marinated and dried one day (in sun) before frying. This is why it's tough. It's normally eaten with sticky rice and other popular northern dishes like papaya salad, larb, and spicy chilli sauces in northern thailand. Since I'm Thai, wish someone was there to explain the dishes a bit more. Hearing you try to speak Thai made my ears twitch, Derrick.. Lol. Thanks for the review, I look forward to going there with my family next time we're in LV!
Hey Derek! Big fan of your channel here, but I suggest you try Chuchote. I think it's the best Thai food I've ever had! Everytime I visit Vegas, I have to go there at least once.
My fav Thai dishes are: Pad Thai, fresh shrimp Spring rolls (not fried) n Tom Yum soup.🥰 Gna have to checkout Lotus whenever we travel to Vegas in the future.😍 Ty for sharing. Enjoyed it.
I hope you and your fiance ate the shells of the Garlic Prawns. The shells taste like garlic-flavored shrimp chips. It's the best part of this dish. If you didn't have any of the shells, then it was $25 wasted. The shells are THAT good.
Another Great Video and restaurantb recommendation! And your interactions between you and your fiancee, and your personal touches, have kicked your videos up to the next level! Thanks again for sharing!
Stuff like the jerky your supposed to rip it in pieces and eat it but every restaurant does it different regarding the size. Usually Thais get different appetizers like that and chill with some beer.
This is 1 of 2 must go to in vegas. Definitely get the crispy rice and I suggest the duck panang. Dereck, humble request for my other favorite spot: golden steer.
If you are in Vegas over the weekend, you should come check out the Front Porch at Ellis Island. Going to be a bunch of Vegas vloggers and fans there the night of the 17th.
Well he FINALLY tried to serve his fiancé atleast... Kinda gentlemanly but should do it more often my friend... Seems like a nice person and I've enjoyed watching ur videos since becoming a sub :)
Derek, every now & then it would be fun to watch the 2 of you attempt to duplicate your favorite recipes at home. I just KNOW you can make good shrimp at home for less that $32 bucks for 6 shrimp. (When on sale at Albertson's I get 2 lbs of 16-20 size for $10.) I enjoyed your at home "LOCKDOWN" videos......but then I even enjoyed seeing what was in your fridge. :)
Derek, I never get tired of watching you eat and how much you love food... especially fried chicken! Beef jerky is tough as it is when you buy it bags at the supermarket. Rice is always my favorite. Great video, thanks. Going to get Thai for dinner! Yum!
Nice looking meal, Mr. Derek. However, such a small order of steamed rice with your beef rib curry. Seems like more of an order for one. Ask for another (steamed rice) next time.
Um-hum, um-hum, um-hum...pssssst.....Derek, cut them in halves and pour coca cola on them next time prior to digging in. I have a feeling there won't be a next time for them jerky. At 9:43 priceless major accomplishment frame. Thanks for sharing! Love your vlogs!
I've eaten there and the food, although pricey, is outstanding! I like spice and usually order at a level of 5. I find that level is very spicy and more authentic to Thai foods. My friend thought he was tough and tried spice level 10. His mistake! He couldn't take it and gave up!😆
Lol, love it! Food looked fantastic! Enjoy your other half's input. She seems low key and calm. Now dont take it wrong should she put a bib on you! 😉 keep up the good work!
My GF and I sat at the same table you and your wife sat at in this video, next to the wine wall. Their curries are really good, so was their pad thai! Unfortunately the prawns were kinda pricey so maybe we'll give them a try next time just because of how good they looked!
Derek is in good form here, made a joke( Siamese twins) and was the last one to catch on to it! Great show. Catherine plays straight man to the Top Bananna DEREK "all you can, Vegas!"
I am with you on the Garlic Crispy Prawns, however, huge fan of anything coconut from Thai including their homemade coconut ice cream and tom yum coconut soup with lemongrass.
That chicken wing was like a spring roll within a chicken wing. yummmmmm. Derek your fans love that you are authentic and show the spills and mouth full of meat because that is the way we would experience it also. Just love watching your channel for a long time now
There are such wonderful dishes - should return for Duck Drunken Noodles...beef jerky not the easiest to eat. The only suggestion is not present dishes without lifting...may be a better image, i;m worried about spillage
I like the whole in the wall thai reasteraunts better. My girl is thai. Born in Issan now lives in Bangkok. The Thai Chille is very popular they eat it with most meals. Sauces come with everything. What no Pattaya salad.its a must.
How did you propose to your fiance?? Congratulation!!! This video is the first time I've seen and heard your fiance. You two are very compatible. She is very articulate and gives good foodie advice, taste tips and it is always more satisfying to eat a meal with loved ones and friends.
Derek your friend doesn't want to be on camera with you. She is with u when you talk about the food u eating and l see her body and her hands and her voice. She sounds like a lovely lady. God bless ya'll both always and be safe out there.
I love watching you eat and your expressions. You trying to do your fiance's plate was hilarious. You 2 r a match made in heaven. Please show her talk her into it please. Love to c her

It's a good thing Catherine is there to keep you in line, and keep you from eating everything in one bite! Lol
I’ve eaten there, it’s awesome!!!!!

Love your videos and your appetite. Keep the reviews coming, you are absolutely the best
This was one of your best videos. This was so fun to watch. Thank you .

It’s great to get both opinions from the 2 of you.

Always enjoy your facial expressions, and the way you eat, you and your fiancé.....very entertaining and enjoyable to watch all your videos!
The Krispy rice looks good. Thai food is delicious.
Another Great Video and restaurantb recommendation! And your interactions between you and your fiancee, and your personal touches, have kicked your videos up to the next level! Thanks again for sharing!
Ide never thought i would sit n watch somebody eat. i dont mind mr. Derek because he travels and u get to see the diffrent kinds of foods that exist
You are the best Derek. Loved the review!
Your expressions are priceless!
Lol I read this comment just as he took a bite of the rice 🤣😂
I discovered LOS when I lived in LV. The Seabass thai style would be my last meal. It was incredible !
Your food vlogs are so fun!!

This is hilarious! All that chewing on the jerky! Too funny! Glad you were able to swallow! My jaw hurt watching you chew! lol. Great video!
Great video as always. Enjoyed ❤️👍🏼
Hi Derek, what a great vid as usual....keep up the good work
If you are in Vegas over the weekend, you should come check out the Front Porch at Ellis Island. Going to be a bunch of Vegas vloggers and fans there the night of the 17th.

Siam's gonna be a witness to the ultimate test of digestive fitness.
This grips me more than would a muddy old river or reclining Buddha.
Thank God I'm only watching the meal, controlling it.
Lisa Wright One night in Bangkok, brilliant! I bet Derek loves that song!
Ha, Best Thumbnail Ever Derek! Good video too, food looked tasty, thanks and take care.
Always fun watching you eat

Oh my those stuffed chicken wings look sooo good. I’m on a mission now to find some in Denver area.. some good ones. Yumm
The video was entertaining and pure comedy.. lol...
Nice looking meal, Mr. Derek. However, such a small order of steamed rice with your beef rib curry. Seems like more of an order for one. Ask for another (steamed rice) next time.

Omg, you and the noodles, love it.
Looks really good!
Great video Derek. Thank you.

I thought you was choking on those noodles 🍝 😂😂😂😂 your too much Derek with those facial expressions 🤣
We found “Lucky Thai” on Silverado Ranch and Bermuda. Very good Thai restaurant, but small menu, and small restaurant
We go there too. We also like Archi's Thai and Kin Pow Thai both on Eastern
Lucky Thai has bomb food!
Mmmmmmmmmm.....my mouth is watering watching you eat the food and enjoying it so much....lol!!
Derek you are suppose to eat the shell on those prawns. It's like chips
You have to try the Northern Larb next time.
Glad to see the original location back up and running.
Derek, you’re supposed to eat the shells off those prawns, too. The shells are coated and just as delicious as the shrimp! 👍🏼
Great and funny video. Was hoping if you can go to the Capital Grille. Would love a review of that place. Thumbs up
Try wrapping the crispy rice in lettuce and put some cilantro. Very good
Looks very authentic Tãi food. Delicious.
Noodles 101 with Derek!!!! Great vid thanks
That jerky looks amazing. I love super chew dry beef like that. Anyone know the name of that dish?
SprtWlf9 According to their menu (looked on Yelp, but you could just Google it), it’s called Nua dad neaw (Issan style beef jerky)
@@wendyki704 thanks so much. 😀
Great looking food. Very light mocktail. Looks like fun.
Derek I absolutely love your videos 👍👍😁
I ENJOY WATCHING YOU AND CATHERINE YOU ARE SO FUNNY WHEN YOU EAT FRIED CHICKEN I LOVE IT TO
Depends on other places you will eat but the stuffed wings are also known as ‘Angel Wings’
Need to try this place.
I need to add this to my list!
I ordered my dishes at level 6 and 7... some were perfectly spicy, others were a bit much for me but still delicious. 😋
I am with you on the Garlic Crispy Prawns, however, huge fan of anything coconut from Thai including their homemade coconut ice cream and tom yum coconut soup with lemongrass.
Who eats beef jerky like that? Oh, Derek does, of course 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Can you imagine what would have happened if he used chop sticks !!? 👀🤣
Love you can’t wait to go back again 👍❤️
You didn’t say too much on this video bcuz of that jerky!! LOL So funny!
That chicken wing was like a spring roll within a chicken wing. yummmmmm. Derek your fans love that you are authentic and show the spills and mouth full of meat because that is the way we would experience it also. Just love watching your channel for a long time now

Do you recommend the original location over the new?
How did you propose to your fiance?? Congratulation!!! This video is the first time I've seen and heard your fiance. You two are very compatible. She is very articulate and gives good foodie advice, taste tips and it is always more satisfying to eat a meal with loved ones and friends.
First time? Check his other post- pandemic videos. You can hear her, but not really see her.
Love u and Catherine u two make a perfect pair I can taste the food from here indiana usa
Omg when the noodles plopped off the fork 😂😂😂🥴
My favorite at your table was the tall glass of ice water. I gotta go get me some right now. I'm thirsty.
I like the improvements you made to the audio and video. Sounds and looks good.
Love it there been there a few times.
I'm lovin vegas eats 😍💓👍
Your food was looking great yummy
Been wanting to try this place for a while - did you go to the original one ?

It looks delicious
Hello yayy another video nice
Your fiancée is wonderful, so glad she is always joining your videos 👍👍👍❤️👍👍👍👍
Gotta eat those garlic shrimp shells. It's the best part of the dish.
Those shells can get stuck in my teeth. Annoying AF!
I am going to Henderson next week. Any recommendations? Anyone?
Come on Derek... a true restaurant reviewer would have tried the blood chunks :) The food looked very appetizing !
Derek - where would you say is the best fried chicken on the strip to you?
It used to be Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken at Bally's, but now that location is Dave's Hot Chicken. I need to try it!
Derek your friend doesn't want to be on camera with you. She is with u when you talk about the food u eating and l see her body and her hands and her voice. She sounds like a lovely lady. God bless ya'll both always and be safe out there.
I love watching you eat and your expressions. You trying to do your fiance's plate was hilarious. You 2 r a match made in heaven. Please show her talk her into it please. Love to c her
