    His food description are a million times more insightful than any other food vloggers out there. No generic "oh wow" or "that melts in your mouth" with this guy.

      Helps having a trained palette as a chef. But yes I agree, Lucas is amazing in his descriptions and narration. I have really been enjoying this series, would love to continue seeing videos of him touring east asia (or elsewhere really!). Especially these small street-level places

      Lucas is the best, in another new episode. He visited a fruit shop in Bangkok that sells fruit dishes. And he addressed the young woman who was preparing the dish as "Chef". It nice to see stalls cooks being 'acknowledge' in that way

    Can confirm, Somsak Crab is the real deal. Sooo much flavour in the dish. For those who don't want to sit on the street, they also have another store a block away in an actual sit-down and more importantly air-conditioned restaurant.
