The first time I tried Thai boat noodle my coworker asked me if I wanted some and I love noodles so I kinda just went for it. I didn't know it was made of blood until another person told me lol. I wasn't scared considering the first time I tried it without questioning and it was delicious
As a Thai, i can tell from the look of it that the foods are quite authentic. Many Thai foods have the influence of Chinese food too so the dumplings are called the same as shumai we have no distinguished name for the two. We might just say that it's a Thai version of it. The way that you eat boat noodle is exactly the way that I would eat, extremely hot and spicy but normally I wouldn't put that much chili powder in any other kinds of food other than boat noodle tho. And yes, wide noodles usually goes well with clear soup or stir-fried (we have many types of that too) with this rice noodles would be appropriate.
I enjoy your videos not just for the food experience but how you do research and educate on the cuisine you are eating. I love to hear how food dishes came about. Thanks and will be subscribing!
Yes. That's the thing about Thai chili, it is kinda nice, rich and hot and fragrant at first impression, but the heat will keep developing in your mouth more and more and becomes so much stronger when you're already enough of it. And that is when it's really painful because it won't go away and keeps burning.
That's why I love Thai food. It's already spicy and most places that I've been to have heat levels and they'll go up to maybe 5 and I usually ask if they can do at least 10. I've never been let down by the flavor or the spice!
Mike, love your food adventures as always! Would you include the prices of the dishes and the grand total in the description bar or at the end of the video?
I'm Thai and even though I cannot / have not tasted this dish at that place, I can guarantee you that the flavors are authentic and legit just judging by the way they serve the condiments, that little metal cup for water, the various toppings on your soup, the fact the put fried garlic on your dumplings and that they serve thai milk tea.
"Crunchy garlic" is a popular ingredient here in Thailand, along with pickled garlic. The condiment rack is found at every Thai restaurant. Unfortunately, most of the meatballs you find here in restaurants are frozen pork and have the consistency of rubber and are totally tasteless. Som Tam ( green papaya salad) is one of the most ubiquitous foods you will find here. My favorite meal is Som Tam with Kao Neaw (sticky rice) and Gai Yang (barbecued chicken. I DO have to ask that whoever is making my Som Tam to hold off on the Nam Pla (fish sauce), which the Thais put on almost EVERYTHING. They may love it, but for me it is nasty! No problem with the chillies though!
I can only eat blood soup if there is some vinegar in it. I am the same as you with the Black Vinegar too. I noticed in CA though not all restaurants will serve black vinegar at the table. Love your Videos Mike! You are always so natural - I feel I'm skyping with a friend. Good job!
Boat noodles is up there with menudo as my favorite soup. If your gonna try it, find a place that makes it with the blood. It's just not the same otherwise. I personally like Lao style papaya salad because it's more funky with shrimp paste and fermented fish sauce
In Thailand, it's not unusual for people to eat 3 or more small bowls of boat noodles. They are small portions, but only cost the equivalent of $0.50 or less per bowl. That was a relatively JUMBO bowl you had. Really one of Thailand's iconic dishes...
Oh and if you want some hardcore spice. there's a stand that comes to the garlic festival in upstate NY every year and they make the hottest hot sauce in the world. and just one drop causes serious pain. you would love the garlic festival though.
And explore more SOUTHEAST Asian foods - in my opinion, better than Chinese by a slight bit because it evolved from Chinese. But I am biased, since I am from Southeast Asia :)
there is a shop that specializes in this dish...it's on the top level of terminal 21 on sukhumvit, bkk. it's f*cking amazing...the customization options are insane, talking wagyu broth and braised wagyu beef or anything you would prefer. the taste is still in my brain and one of the many reason i go back to thailand
what I've learned about boat noodles is they're served in large bowls with little soup because the soup would slosh and spill all over the boat and the server and customer
spartan1010101 So late but yes, it is indeed considered slander against a company or person(s). If Mike filmed about the places he didn't like, he would have to provide constructive criticism. Though, because he is brutally honest about the foods he eats, he only films the places that are good so we, the audience, look forward to them. Though, that might just be my own theory. 😊
I always opt for clear beef soup instead of the blood based soup becos of the weather. But imo boat noodles beef are a rip off; although they cost 20 to 25 baht a bowl, you'd need a minimum of 10 bowls
sulasno Hm, ok, so then this is expensive fancy stuff. Ok. We've got restaurants like that, and I try to keep away, since I don't like them in principle.
I'm glad you're still doing these trips. Love watching you eat and explain what you're eating, it's history, etc.

My mouth wants this so bad.
But my butt says no.
I listen to the butt.

Such a bad idea to watch this at 12 am when I'm about to sleep.
Y ???

This guy only makes videos when it's raining in NY lol
jay.c rain is the best weather!

Lol you're so funny!! Dude you definitely deserve more subscribers! Love watching your videos! ☺️
I love your videos, I love your honesty. Keep up the good work!
I have a routine of when eating by myself I watch these videos it makes me feel like I’m sharing a meal with a close friend. 🥰
This is a must stop next time I'm in the Astoria. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work.
+Luis Gutierrez Thanks for watching :-)
I hate you for eating my all time favorite boat noodle soup! Love your videos 😊

Some of my favourite Thai dishes!😍 I can tell that you had the real deal as I was born in Thailand 👐👐👐 awesome video!
+Kimber Lee haha nice!

I don't like fish sauce either. It's just too strong and salty for me.
I used to hate fish sauce but if u mix it w a lil vinegar it’s amazing
I think most southeast country use that a lot
My Thai friend Bo, she jokes that fish sauce is the ketchup of Thailand lol
Boat noodles are great. I had them in Thailand, glad to see there is a place in the states that makes them!
This feels like one of your earlier videos, which is great :)
I can only eat blood soup if there is some vinegar in it. I am the same as you with the Black Vinegar too. I noticed in CA though not all restaurants will serve black vinegar at the table. Love your Videos Mike! You are always so natural - I feel I'm skyping with a friend. Good job!
It's normal to get small portions of noodles when ordering boat noodles. That's why some people order up to ten bowls
Southeast Asia definitely have some delicious noodle soup! Should try some like bun Bo hue, khao soy, etc.
One of My favourite meals in Thailand, well done and well explained.
I remember getting that same dish for my 19th birthday meal. Every year I get that soup instead of a birthday cake :D delish !
Kudos to you for getting over the blood thing! I don't think I can lol but you make it sound good :3
haha, mike you always go crazy with the spices 😂 i was cringing with the spoonfulls
wy is mike so much like me! I love rainy days and get hungery the second I feel rain its lovley
+Jacob Na cause we awesome!

I'm going to be in Manhattan this weekend...Koreatown to be exact. Any suggestions?
This video was long awaited. You'll love Thai boat noodles in LA :)
ugh!!! i started salivating when you added the chili to the soup :'|
Lol, I was waiting for the punch from the dried chilli powder... You should have listened XP Thai chillies are the bomb!

thai chilis were how i learned to like hot stuff, the damn things are addictive as hell
Wow... Kudos for kicking it up a notch or 50.. ;)
Mike, you love spicy food! You should be on TH-cam show "Hot One".
I always get confused. He makes a face like he is disgusted when he likes it
Ayyy Lmfao ikr
I know lol
He’s disgusted at himself for not having had this before
Yea I feel you on what your saying about Shaomai. it's usually like a log of meat and it's kind of strange. those look amazing
Oh and if you want some hardcore spice. there's a stand that comes to the garlic festival in upstate NY every year and they make the hottest hot sauce in the world. and just one drop causes serious pain. you would love the garlic festival though.
I love Thai noodles I think you should try cocnut ginger noodles they're one of my favorites
Thai boat noodles are delicious and hearty.
Love all your video
You have to have some authentic boat noodle with all the various types of meats and cuts. 😋
It's my favorite soup hands down and I go Thai spicy with it!
love love love thai boat noodles..
I think we need to have Mike do some sort of spicy food challenge to see how much spice he can take
+its1tym4urmind done one, owned it!
+its1tym4urmind
Mike vs. Mark Wiens...

This dish maybe is good with iron content? Since it is a blood broth. Any thoughts on that?
I think traditionally the soup would also contain Liver which combined with the blood would include a heavy amount of iron
And explore more SOUTHEAST Asian foods - in my opinion, better than Chinese by a slight bit because it evolved from Chinese. But I am biased, since I am from Southeast Asia :)
Lol! Your face turned red for a second after you tasted the soup after adding the spice.
Come to Seattle in the winter. I want to witness your rain-based hunger in my city!
2 spoon fulls!! Dang lol tbh I've never had any type of Asian soup. I'm really craving it now ! Any recommendations for a beginner ? I love spice tho
i want to see home made hotpot video. since i am not chinese, i dont know what kind of source goes well with hotpot.
+Nikki Tang will make one soon
Watching this just now and it's raining here too. How coincidental!😝😂😂
I love your video I watch all your video in beyond science so i went here to watch
+Angel Thai thanks so much!!!
Hey mike, what is your top 3 favorite cuisines? except chinese food.
I want papaya salad now. That one looks delicious.
finally met ur match with chilli?
there is a shop that specializes in this dish...it's on the top level of terminal 21 on sukhumvit, bkk. it's f*cking amazing...the customization options are insane, talking wagyu broth and braised wagyu beef or anything you would prefer. the taste is still in my brain and one of the many reason i go back to thailand
I hope you will hold the spicy a bit as they kinda destroy all the flavor... All you taste is the spicy and the pain (~_~;)
hey Mike, when you eat hotpot, do you like to crack an egg in your dipping sauce?
Have you ever tried Bun Bo Hue? It's a Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup. My personal favourite. It's a must if you like spicy!!!
8:05 MIstake Mistake have been made!
what I've learned about boat noodles is they're served in large bowls with little soup because the soup would slosh and spill all over the boat and the server and customer
Where is The Boat noodle? What is the address? Is that in Brooklyn NY?
I cringe a bit when he put that much dried pepper in his soup. He didn't know what he was getting himself into lol
lee yang
It's not like he was in any sort of pain or whatever.
Oh my goodness yes
This is in my neighborhood! I love it :-)
omg i enjoy chilli the same way you do. we should totally be friends.
I don't know about not showing food you don't like, it was very entertaining watching your reactions to stinky tofu.
what is the name and address for this place?
I'm late discovering your videos so I'm playing catch up
so yummy
My go to, if the restaurant has it
I want to hear about places you find that isn't good...but I think that is technically considered slander so idk

I think you overdid it with the heat Mike
Oh hell! studing for my exam goes to hell...... because of your food videos ;P
Mark Weins LOVES the blood soup!!
What flavor is "fragrant" . please help...
Dude!!! You really know how to handle your spiciness!!!
my tummy started aching after he dumped all the chili in the soup.... ayayayay
it's funny cause i'm half thai and when i saw you put that chili in to your food i let out a little yelp and said R.I.P
love rain but here in Houston not alot of Good places
Tasty 😋
hey mike chen, why not try hmong food? come to twin cities MN
I always opt for clear beef soup instead of the blood based soup becos of the weather. But imo boat noodles beef are a rip off; although they cost 20 to 25 baht a bowl, you'd need a minimum of 10 bowls
+sulasno 250 baht is like 6.5 € or 700 din. that's standard price for a standard meal in a serbian restaurant.
+Филип Брчић a normal bowl costs 50 baht which keeps me full
sulasno
Hm, ok, so then this is expensive fancy stuff. Ok. We've got restaurants like that, and I try to keep away, since I don't like them in principle.
Yum!
If those people added ice cream to their menu, they would increase profits like crazy.
It's raining here in Mn I'm planning to cook boat noodles.
@7:12 "I get queasy around blood" Orders steak med. rare!! Lol
You did not poke your chopsticks into the bowl and leave them standing upwards!
กินเผ็ดกว่าคนไทยหลายคนมาก 2ช้อนเลยหร่า ใจถึงจริงๆๆ
awww no long shot of the actual food?
omg too much chilly!
I am waiting for mike to release his inner fire lord ozai
i want to know whats not good mie, so i km=now where not to eat.
My heart stopped when he put in two spoon. Goodness😮
what is ur name
Blood soup with vinegar is da bomb
The Thai don't fool around when it comes to spice, hot spice.
I'm Thai and when I see you scoop up two spoons of roasted chilli pepper I say Nooooooooooo lol
It's basically pho with blood and I think it's really good with vinegar.
