I love this new series of videos ! Because we never know what are the dishes that people really order in restaurants, also restaurants might not include some popular dishes from their country or they change the recipe just because they have to please the tastebud of the country. Like how indian, thaï, vietnamese etc... restaurants might put less spices and flavor to make their cuisine more appealing and less intimidating. I think if people were more open minded, some restaurants would unlock their true potential.
Absolutely. After spending a month in mainland China a few years back, I was so sad to arrive back in Australia and our poor excuse for their cuisine. But wait! It turns out that if you know what to do you can actually order stuff that’s not really on the menu. Wtf. My local greasy Chinese takeout turned out to be super amazing 🤯 Restaurants have a part to play too, they assume we don’t want better, but we do!
Yes! It's a sad fact that some of the most popular dishes, like Orange Chicken, Chicken Tika Masala, and Pad Thai aren't even part of the food culture in the countries we associate them with. There are so many more delicious traditional options, anyway!
By the way, if you ever have an opportunity to try Tangerine Chicken at a Chinese restaurant, take it! I've never understood the appeal of American Chinese Orange Chicken, but Tangerine Chicken was a revelation! It's not sugar sweet and is generally more subtle, yet also more complex than Orange Chicken. Plus, it's a little bit spicy, which perfectly balanced the other flavors.
@@O2life we have to be fair here. The Chinese are one of the nationalities that have populated the US the longest. Unlike others who came much later, the Chinese had to adapt to our tastes at the time to make money. The dishes they put out here may not be what you get from the mainland but it is every bit authentic as adaptations/ fusions go.
@@skyydancer67 I don't find the concept of authenticity particularly helpful in discussions about culture, which is why I framed my comment in terms of what is traditional in the countries of origin.
I completely agree that American Chinese food is a culinary culture all its own. I still think it's unfortunate that we Americans so often limit ourselves to the tastes we are most familiar with from home instead of seeking out dishes from a completely different cultural context.
@@skyydancer67 I think it's more that a lot of americans are not aware that they are eating american chinese food, which is certainly a food culture of its own. but they aren't even aware that it's off on its own because they think you'd be able to find all of it commonly in china which just isn't true a lot of the time. it's more about misrepresentation than american chinese food not being a legitimate thing, when it's used to represent china's food scene instead of the american one.
As a Thai person myself, I found that a lot of the dishes here in this video are different or a bit different from the original dishes in Thailand (for example, we NEVER put broccoli in Panang 😂) The color of the curry also seems pale, and the fish cakes in Thailand look more juicy than in the video.
Anyway, I am happy to know that our cuisine came across the world and those from far way can also enjoy them, and I am also happy to see that you enjoyed the food here, as well. 😁 This video makes me really hungry now LOL I really crave ยำปลาดุกฟู (the catfish spicy salad) so much!
The food all looks pretty bad. It seems like they toned down the spice levels. No galangal in the tom kha gai??? It's literally the name of the soup. The jungle curry looks weird. Not spicy enough, wierd veg, and the soup looks weirdly pale like a western chicken soup. The sausages and fish cake both looks dry. Panang was a wierd colour and had broccoli.
ดูไม่น่ากินสักนิด มากินที่เมืองไทยเถอะ
Also, kinda strange that she said the fish cake is "gingery" because I don't remember we (Thai) put ginger in mix for fish cake. Sai Krok Esan also looked like Sai Ua (ไส้อั่ว).
@@gebbypk8500 oh yes good point. I didn't catch that. None of this food looks or sounds like it should taste.
You took the words out of my mouth and I am not even native Thai, but this food doesn't represent the delicious meals I'm eating, looks like they cooked of some weird "Thai inspired" videos 😢
Okay, this is kind of a strange tangent but it's related! I knew Thai tradition meant using a fork and spoon, so when I tried Thai curry, I used the spoon to eat. Revelation time! I have facial paralysis (from Bell's Palsy, had it 3 times so far, fun!) and I have trouble using a fork, I spill alot amd I can't open my mouth very wide so eating is a challenge. Thai food made me realise that using a spoon to eat is FINE, it doesn't make me a failure as an adult. I also discovered the Korean style spoons which are perfectly sized, love them! So now I eat everything with a Korean spoon and chopsticks. Spaghetti, garden salad, casseroles, meatloaf, everything. I know it seems so silly, but I have struggled for 30 years with eating and being self conscious, I have stained every shirt I have owned. I think because I was 16 when it first happened, it is a childhood trauma. I still won't eat noodles in public though! :)
Doesn't sound silly at all! Good for you for figuring out what works best! Best of luck!
I eat everything with a spoon, just because I prefer the way it feels on my lips and in my mouth. Nothing wrong with that! 😊
My son has dexterity and sensory issues. He HATES using a fork. I don’t care if people judge a child his age eating everything with a spoon because whatever it takes to get him to eat!
Good for you! Spoons are amazing. Did you know that Thai people use the spoon in their right hand, and use the fork with their left to scrape food onto the spoon? Like how western countries use fork and knife.
@@RedMoon37 same with filipino food
That Isan (Northeastern) sausage looks more like the Northern sausage “sai-ua” rather than the actual Isan one.
That characteristic green colour from kaffir leaves, scallion, and cilantro is usually not seen in Isan sausage, which is brownish red. It’s also more common for Isan sausage to have either or both rice and glass noodle in them. I love both, though.
I caught that too!!
Aa!,! Hello! I’m Pat from the video :DD So happy to see this and see what the others recommended. Your reaction to the food just made my day 100 times better haha. Thanks Beryl again for this series and I hope you guys can feel encouraged to enjoy more of Thai cuisine 💗💗💗
Ps watched it again with mom and she thinks you might’ve got Geang Som instead of Geang Pa
My sister in law is Thai as well as a trained chef. Since she's come into the family we've been lucky enough to try so many Thai dishes (although none of the ones in the video I don't think). She cooks something new every time, so we're getting to discover a huge palette of this amazing culinary culture.
Wow what a great way to connect with family AND get to eat authentic ethnic food. It's worth having to do the dishes😃
@@Glim246 I know, we're very lucky. And she's in the middle of opening her own business (a Thai food truck). We're very excited to be her very first customers 😀
@@acmulhern Wow! Her food must be amazing if she is investing in the hard work of that business. Best of luck to her.
@@Glim246 thank you 😊
You is a lucky biotch! 🤤🤤
I was just complaining to a friend that there are cuisines I know I love the flavors of but never eat out for because I don't know how to handle the menus. Love this series and I hope you keep adding to it!
I always love to just close my eyes, spin my finger around, and order whatever it lands on haha
I'm currently eating in a Thai restaurant, and instead of the usual green curry, I ordered catfish salad instead because I remembered your video. It's really lovely. Thank you for the inspiration to try something new 😊
please try persian and turkish foods too, they are so unique and deliouce! btw thanks for your great work.
One of my best friends is Persian and she makes the best rice with a perfect tahdig. I’m getting hungry just thinking of a big pile of rice with saffron rice on the top, a pat of butter, koobideh, herbs and a glass of doogh.
Yes please
Balehhhh (aka yassssss) please try Persian dishes! *Disclaimer: I am not Iranian, but my tummy is hahaha
Oooh please Persian and like Persian bs regular Mediterranean
I'm Thai and would like to say Massaman curry has a Persian influence. Massaman comes from مسلمان (some sources say it comes from Malayu food ) and has evolved into a world class curry.
I am very proud that Thai ancestors are good at delicious food. and I love naming food to know its origin 🙏
Can we please do Mexican??? I’m so tired of ordering tacos and burritos lol 😂 I need help! Or Chinese!!!!!
Tacos and burritos are pretty much perfection 🤤
Try out pollo en mole, tamales veracruzanos, gorditas, pollo en crema de chipotle, pollo en achiote, pachucos, tortas, tlayudas, barbacoa, chalupas, pollo en rajas poblanas, menudo, pozole, chicharrón en salsa verde, chicharrón prensado, entomatadas, and costillas de puerco en salsa verde. Hope this list helps, also go to Mexican diners. They have more variety compared to taquerias
I like to go to my local Mexican convience store and using my limited Spanish language skills (know a lot of words, cannot for the life of me hold an actual conversation) randomly select something off the menu and see how close I was to what I thought it would be
pozole, chilaquiles, mole with chicken, and flautas are my favs!
I feel like pozole doesn’t get the love it deserves when people talk about Mexican food
Beryl!! I posted on twitter but I don't think you use it much -- I got a package from you yesterday and it *made my freakin' day!* Thank you so, so much. I absolutely devoured the red bead crackers and sakura cookie immediately. I can't wait to try the corn fungus especially!! Thank you for all that you do. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm having a meal with a friend, especially since I work from home and don't get to see people on the day-to-day (except hubby when he comes home from work!). Your food videos are always the first ones I am eager to watch when they pop up in my sub box~ You are amazing and I adore this community!
Also, this series is one of my absolute favorites ever. Feels good to see some of my go-to Thai dishes being recommended (panang curry is MVP) 😍🙌
omggggg yayyyyyy I'm so. glad it arrived!!!!!
@@BerylShereshewsky ….do you have a website to order from? Thanks!
@@matildabishops9196 It was a surprise for being a member of her Patreon!
@@BerylShereshewsky I got my package too! I love it! Thank you!!!
@@vanessafrey886 awwww yayyyyy
5am here in Isan Nth East Thailand 🇹🇭 ♥. I got a little time until my kids get up for school and watch this video.....and feel my heart fill with pride for the nation that adopted me 30 yrs ago. Thank you Beryl for triggering that feeling first thing in the morning, I never really thought how deep my love of this country and people is. This morning this single dad feels like he is one of the luckiest men on the planet. Thanks .....and eat more aharn Thai folks.
Broccoli!!! I like to call them "the mop of the food world." They are AMAZING in stir fry and curries for this very reason -- I'm so glad you got to experience the mop for yourself!
Yes!! They're so good at soaking up sauces and gravies...delicious
I couldn't agree more! I had two different past boysfriends over the years (separate times) that both said they hated broccoli. I took them to Thai food and had them try the Pad See Ew. They didn't want to eat the broccoli. I made them try a "no thank you bite" (a bite of something you haven't had before and think might be "disgusting"). Next thing I know they decide to fight me for the broccoli. 😂
My husband, who I never had to teach to like veggies or beg to try new things, is so much easier to deal with. 😅
Our go-to Thai food is panang curry and pad see ew! 🥰
But putting broccoli in Panaeng curry is an unforgivable sin.
I recently tried a fish cake on a whim and really loved it. The texture was a delightful suprise. Would love to see an order in Ethiopean food edition!!
Yes, I second Ethiopian!
Ethiopian food is so interesting cause of how when you eat it you don't use utensils but use that spongy bread they serve with the food as the utensil.
I came to vote for Ethopian as well!
Oh I forgot to add that it just seems more fun to enjoy.
@@tommystix87 Injera! It's made from a sort of sourdough batter from Teff, I believe the world's tiniest grain. It's delicious.
i love this series, i definitely have a tendency to always reorder the same dishes...ordering in feels like such a luxury that i don't wanna 'waste' money on something i might not like. but everything people ordered for you seems absolutely delicious!
Would love to see a Caribbean episode! Like Puerto Rican, Cuban, Jamaican
Ohhhh I personally would really benefit from this!
@@BerylShereshewsky absolutely :) all of the plantains in all of the forms lol
Might want to do some research on that. Each island does certain dishes better than others. Other than that, I agree and would live to see some Bajan food showcased, if possible.
Yeeeees 😍
You know the food is good when Beryls right eye closes 😜 the food looks so good I’ll definitely try some next time I’m craving Thai food! Thanks so much for giving us incredible insights and making the dishes, people and culture the stars in every video! ❤️
I adore that eye thing.
Tom Yum and Tom Kha are almost always on my orders. Both of them are so punchy and it clears my throat and sinuses in an instant. Me and my sister would secretly be happy when falling sick because we could then confidently request some tom yum soup.
Also you guys need to try Pad Kaprao. Holy Basil and Minced chicken/meat stir fry. Spicy, and even the holy basil is somewhat spicy or peppery. While i have seen holy basil being used for medicines and some herbal teas, i never thought to use it in a dish. I know this dish is also made with Thai Basil, but its quite different from holy basil.
omg tom yum is one of my sick soups too
Great series. The sponsor section of most UA-cam videos is almost always pretty dull or a bad fit, this is very well done and sits so well with your content.
Thank you!! I agree I love the way we made this work!
Would love to see you try Ethiopian food in this series. I’ve only had this cuisine a few times but loved what I tried. Would like some other recommendations from those in the know.
I'm chinese, but I love tom kah and tom yum soups. I make it regularly for my family and they love it. In mandarin, Galangal is called southern ginger.
Jungle curry is so underrated… 🤤
Ps. This is such a clever way to do sponsored content. Such a great channel and a beacon of light in a shitty world atm
I don’t think that’s jungle curry or gang pa. It’s more like gang som. Gang pa is quite similar to red curry without coconut. Gang som is the one that has sour taste in it.
@@mr.morrist4975 yes, if she ca taste tamarin in it. it need to be gang som. gang pa is more like a spcial chilipaste pounding with heabs. usually stir fried with meat and holy basil or jira and viggies
This was fantastic. You should try Vietnamese cuisine in an upcoming episode. Vietnamese food is fresh and clean and herbal, just amazing.
A friend of mine gave me the best advice about red or green curry-she saves and freezes the leftover sauce only to use in her own stir fry at a later date. Brilliant.
Yes! I do this all the time with any kind of take out. We just finished up some extra Chinese take out sauce and veggies over some cellophane noodles.
also i think you should do something like italian because im curious if Italians would order different dishes than the ones that are sort of the standard takeout routine
Thai food is the best! I lived there (Chiang Mai in the north) for six months, and stayed with several people from the hill tribe ethnic groups (Lahu, Ahka, etc.), and it's honestly my favorite food in the world.
Beryl - if you could feature an episode with foods from lesser known ethnic groups, that would be awesome, so other people can get to know their food which otherwise would not be known globally at all. (There are also so many sour foods in nothern Thailand!)
I think its really hard to find that for delivery!
@@BerylShereshewsky true- I've never seen these foods in restaurants but you could probably gather some of their ingredients and cook their recipes!
@@janellemilazzolau1288 Wow, if you used to live in Chiang Mai, you must really like Khao Soi, right? 😊
Northern Thailand There are many ethnic foods. because there are many ethnic groups living The popular dishes are "Kaeng Hang Lay", "Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao", "Khao Soi", "Northern Sausage", "Northern Larb", "Kang Ho", "Baton", "Nam Prik Noom", "Nam Prik Ong", "Kaeng Om", "Spicy bamboo shoot salad" " Jackfruit Salad" and many more.
You can reheat rice noodles, just make sure to add water before microwaving and make sure to break up the noodles as you go and mix the middle out.
Thai red coconut curry with chicken is one of my favorite meals to make for myself. So comforting.
I love this series, and I am so dang hungry now. Thai food is the best. I would love to see you try Persian food suggested by your Iranian viewers -- Persian is my absolute favorite.
Yaaas I agree
i absolutely love this concept!! i can’t wait to see the other cuisines you try!
This is such a great idea for a series. Can't wait to see more!
Yay !! So glad you made this episode about thai food!!
Loving the series!
Totally loving this series! Already taking notes for things to try!
Excellent new series! Loving it so far!
SO I LOVE WITH THIS SERIES!!!!
Thank you for this series - so many things to try!
Congrats on 500k!🎉🎉
I hope this series keeps going! Such a good idea 👍🏻 😊
I love this type of video! Please give me more!!!!
yesss finally second video of this series.....i loveeeee this serieesss
Love thai food!! Papaya salad, pad thai, tom kha, khao soi, and yellow curry are all my favorites.
I love this series. Keep them coming!
I leave Friday for 2 weeks in Thailand! So happy to see this episode!
this was a great one!
I love this series, dish wise that jungle curry seemed to be my favourite.
Really enjoying this video concept! Looking forward to more!
I need to try all of these!!
LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!! I wish I could try all these dishes!!
I just absolutely adore this channel and the community engagement ❤️
Oh lord, now I want Thai in the worst way. I only wish our Thai restaurants made half the dishes you got to try. We have very tourist style menus to choose from. I love that soup and will often do a green curry at home.
Hey Beryl, when you eat something really good your whole face lights up. When i cook for people i love when they smile like that.
I Love ❤️ this series!!
I appreciate and love how open she is to trying new dishes. Definitely need a whole series of this cause I need new foods to order lol Hope you have a filipino version of this but for the far out stuff we have, not just adobo/pancit. Homegrown love from nyc!
Love this series, such an awesome idea
Love this video! It's so nice to have friends who can introduce you to the foods you wouldn't try normally to expand your food horizons. All the foods here I would never have tried were it not for friendly recommendations. Next time I'm at Thai restaurant, I know what I'm ordering next!
Love this series! This’ll help me step up my takeout game!
Love this new series. It gives me more ideas on what to order because I'm the type that needs to know what I'm going to eat. And I always trust Beryl's comments on food. 😊
I love trying new dishes when I explore other cuisines so I’ve had all of these dishes except the catfish salad and that sounds riiiight up my alley!! I love this series. You should do one with Iranian food!
I’m so happy I found you. I’ve been watching the UA-cam shows & shorts now for a year & you’re literally the most inclusive, open, positive person. You’ve opened me up to new ideas (I thought I was pretty worldly myself) I love the art & the world community contributions. I feel dumb bc I just realized when I listen to your shows, it actually brings good positivity back into my weekly life. I’d love to see you grow onto bigger networks & be the person who spreads & encourages curiosity, community engagement, reading & arts.
I love these delivery videos...because how often do you just order your "go to" meals every time?! I am so going to try the penang curry and the catfish salad if I ever see it on a menu.
I love this series! It already inspired me to try something new when we ordered Indian the other day (aloo tikki) and both me and my partner LOVED IT!!
We just discovered the fish cakes at our local Thai spot, and they are sooo good! We got them to try something new and now we get them almost every time we order. I think they are flavored with lime leaves along with galangal and it's just lovely.
What a fun way to include people and make new friends. Great episode.
Awww, shucks! I just ordered Thai for dinner and wished I watched this video first. I’ll definitely be ordering again to try some of these dishes. I love that these video series of recommendations are coming from people who grew up/were born in country. Thanks Beryl, and thanks for the coupon!
I love these episodes ur completely right I order the same thing now you've given me some new things to try and putting a visual picture with the name
That salad sounds SO amazing!!
I remember Ben from the eggs video!!! He seems so sweet and a fun guy to hang out with!! 🥺💙✨
Thank you to everyone for sharing your favorite dishes!
Omg Tom Kha Gai is my favourite soup ever ❤️ glad that got picked!
I absolutely love when the contributors to these videos add in personal stories, or mention their family/childhood. It just makes me smile and think of my own childhood experiences with food, and how similar those feelings are no matter where someone is from.
Tofu and Veggie Penang Curry is one of my FAVORITE foods on the planet. In fact, I ordered some before seeing that this video was posted, and it's arriving in a few minutes!
I love this series! I feel much more empowered to branch out in my Thai food orders!
Love this series! Tried Indian dishes from your last episode that I never would’ve ordered before and genuinely liked most of them! Tom Kha soup is my go to every time I order Thai for my appetizer and I usually go between the Panang and Massaman curry! Will definitely be trying the catfish salad, sausage and jungle curry in my next order!
I have always looked sideways at the jungle curry, but never had the chance to order it before. Judging by the reaction, I'll order that as soon as possible. Super great series!
Love that you did this video, because I love Thai food! I got to see a lot of Thai that I either have not tried or didnt know about because they aren’t in the menus of my usual Thai restaurants. Spicy Basil stir fry and yellow curry are my go-to orders! The catfish salad was very enlightening to me. I’m from Louisiana, and whenever I see catfish on the Thai menus here, I always thought it was because its a fish that’s easily available in Louisiana/Gulf of Mexico area. I never stopped to consider that Thailand also had catfish. That fermented pork dish looked amazing, though, and I want to try it now too since everyone in the video was recommending it!
I love this series!!! I'm at a thai place right now referencing this so I can order some new stuff!!!
Yum! This episode had me drooling.
I loved this episode and I love Thai food. Five years ago I moved from Chicago to Miami and I miss the wonderful Thai restaurants in Chicago. Miami Thai does not hold a candle! Tod Mun Pla is also one of my favs. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out! Thanks Beryl, Love you channel!
Thai cuisine is one of my favorites in the world. I don't know how they make everything so good, maybe the flavors just suits my tastebuds very well (I'm not Thai, but still from Southeast Asia). Thank you for the video!
This channel is superb for anyone that loves trying foods from all around the world! I’m from the U.S., and tonight I was talking to a man from Cameroon that got me excited to try fufu!!!
I really love this series!!!! I will definitely look for sour curry now
Growing up in Boston Massachusetts, once a month my Father and I went to an international authentic cuisine restaurant. We each picked a dish and then 1 we never heard of before! Now I live in very rural Western Massachusetts and at least 45 minutes to any real international restaurants or food stores. I am so glad I had those experiences. I loved my childhood!
I love this. Ben is right, I always have skipped the salads, which I will not do in the future! Really nice to see some great looking new things to try! Drunken noodles is my go-to Thai food order, already, because it's just that good.
The creativity in each content and series!!! Gosh Beryl, you know we love it!!!!
BTW, Northern Thailand has amazing varieties of sausages... they are awesome!! I repeat, THEY ARE AWESOME!!! I am not Thai, but for those tourists going to Northern Thailand, you should try their sausages!! All kind you can find!!!
Love this video! More videos like this please!
Love this series!
Omg I wish I would've known about this! I would have loved to have taken part! 🤩🤩🤩
Wow you lived near an AMAZING Thai restaurant!! All of these are awesome recommendations that any one should really give them a shot. Thanks for this awesome series!
What a wholesome episode! I've been waiting for a Thai episode!! I've been studying Thai culinary arts, the language and culture for 7 years because i found their food so interesting and stimulating when i tried it for the first time. (we didn't have any Thai places where i grew up in 90's Finland, only one Chinese place) So when i actually got to try it... just the sheer volume of all the bold and exquisitely strong flavours balancing with each other in perfect harmony ticked all of my boxes. And once i flew there for a foodie holiday as an adult, man the food was like that you get in the western world times x1000. Even though you can opt for "Thai spicy" the food will nonetheless be A LOT tamer than what you get there because people running restaurants can't risk the dishes being returned and complained about.. Like drunken noodles. In Thailand it's almost intolerable on the spice level with the shit tons of Thai chillies and fresh green peppercorns thrown in but here in the western world it's like eating pat si-io with a few chillies thrown in. You know you're eating Thai-Thai food when you're crying, sweating and yet can't stop eating because it's so good.
Ugh, panang curry is my favorite! So excited to see it on the list. Ive made it at home twice. The first time was a fail but I was very proud the second time!
Tom Kha is my favourite food in the entire world. I literally special order the ingredients so I can make it at home. I am sooooo glad you tried it in this video!!!! It's definitely more of a savoury and spicy soup than it is sweet. While you did add a little sugar to it, in proportion with the lime leaves and the galangal and the lemongrass and the spices, the sweetness is so very subtle and the amount of coconut used is usually less than the amount of broth which helps to take balance out those sugars as well.
I was introduced to Thai food by a friend from Singapore. Went to a very traditional Thai restaurant with 4 other couples and she ordered various dishes served family style. We were able to sample a multiple dishes and discover such a wide range of flavors. That was probably twenty years ago and it’s still one of our favorite restaurants. If you ever have a chance to try the beef stew, do it! It’s nothing like the American version.
Love this video! Fish cakes, drunken noodles, and panang curry are my favorites to order.
Thai food is my favorite! I bought a Thai cookbook, but have been slightly intimidated in using it. Tom kha is one of my favorite soups and my go-to sick food. Its so comforting.
Awesome video! I love Thai food ❤️ love from Philippines!
I've been getting more into Thai food with a friend from work and the first time I tried those fish cakes, they were phenomenal!
Love the new series! I think you’re doing such a fantastic job with your videos. They’re always really fun and interesting to watch. Great job!
Thank you so much!
I am so grateful for this episode! There are a SLEW of Thai food restaurants in my area, but I never know what to order. As an experimental person, I've wanted to try different dishes besides the trademark pad thai (which I love). Also, I love this series!
Thank you Beryl and panel of costars for the suggestions !! 🎉 We do support our local Thai restaurant and always get the same dishes ( because we love them ) but, now will try these!!! ❤
