Every time I hear proper Thai pronunciation, I realize I would really like to learn the basics of the language. It's so distinctive. But I wouldn't get very far into it. That writing system is a beast.

P.S. the first Thai dish I ever tried was in Boston and I was only 18. I had no idea what I was ordering and got Pad Gaprow. It was so spicy for me at the time, that I was crying. Lol. And I've been in love with Thai food ever since.

Hi Pailin. I'm subscribed for almost 2 years now an enjoying this channel ever since. Picturesque, explicitly, knowledgeable, useful, practical and nicely presented. Uncle Roger also referred to your expertise when mocking Jamie Olver’s green curry. It was something like …”If you want to learn to cook green curry, go watch Hot Thai Kitchen” As for this particular video, could you please supplement the description with the Tier List in written, rather than only graphical form with no dish names in the body of the video. This will be useful as a quick ref when going to a Thai restaurant. Thank you.

One of my favourite Laotian/ Thai places in Paris got complaints because their Papaya salad was too spicy, the new waitress apologised to us before she served it, it was pretty mild. I'm fed up with these people who ruin dishes for the rest of us. Don't be so sure about Pad kra pao, I recently ordered one at a new place and they forgot to put any chilli in it at all..... or any basil.
@edwarddeatley1117

In regards to papaya salad, it’s really just a matter of telling the waiter how spicy you like it. No spice, foreigner spice, or Thai style. Also, I’ve had really delicious mango sticky rice here in Northern California during the summer months. My favorite is Lao/issan style with the dark little crab pounded into the dish.

My experience in Thailand and throughout Isaarn was when you order som tahm, you specify how hot/sour you want it. pet-piew, for 'hot & sour' or pet-pet piew-piew for 'really spicy and really sour.' Also a more specific qualifier by specifying by how many chili peppers you want pounded into your papaya salad - maximum in Bangkok usually about 8 chili peppers, but in Isaarn specifying 15 chili peppers not uncommon (and my personal maximum in the old days). Since it's made to order by dish it should be easy to be specific as to how spicy and tart you want it. Should be this way in North American Thai restaurants, but it is not always so, unless you are familiar with the staff and owners.

Completely agree with you. The same occurs with Drunken Noodles. One gets served a plate of greasy wide noodles with 3 bean sprouts and we're supposed to rave about it? SO disappointing! And if a restaurant does that to me, I don't go back. My brother and I found a wonderful Drunken Noodle dish in Boston in a little hole in the wall spot with LOTS of vegg, spice, etc. It is heaven and every Drunken Noodle dish is compared to that one. I'm tired of spending good money for a boring plate of greasy noodles - don't go back!

I'm Thai and I want to confirm about Som Tum (Papaya salad). Thai people want to eat Som Tum when they want something spicy, really spicy. For me it should done with 20+ bird eye chilis or dry red chilis. If Thai people order Som tum and it turn out it is not spicy enough, we have to do it again another day to fix it, to make ourself sweaty so we satisfy. กินส้มตำไม่เผ็ดแล้วมันคาใจ 😆

As a Hmong person, I also agree. When I want papaya salad, I want to hurt a little and satisfy my umami funky spicy cravings. When I make it, I don’t count how many peppers I use, I just grab handfuls. 😁

I really like Pailin’s attitude and approach to this tier list because she made it in a way that optimizes the best Thai experience one could get, in her opinion. This is reflective on the entire channel, which is why I love watching it so much, because it feels like a celebration to Thai culture and how Pailin guides the audience through Thai cuisine with her own experience and highlights the best aspects of it. 🎉

It's interesting to see this list play out because I'm looking at it from a restaurateur perspective. When my parents had their restaurants, Pad Thai was easily the most popular dish ever. There wasn't a single day out of the 13 years my parents opened that restaurant that we didn't sell Pad Thai. Interestingly enough, Lad Na was a dish we featured in the second restaurant in an Asian majority area and by far the people who ordered that the most were Thai people themselves. We served boat noodles in both the white majority and Asian majority area restaurants and that proved to be very popular among everyone.

What an awesome video. This was so fun to watch!! I’m so grateful to live in Minneapolis/St Paul Minnesota. We have Thai restaurants run by people from various ethnicities (Thai, Karen, Isan, Hmong) and have large southeast Asian populations (Thai, Hmong, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Lao) that help drive demand for quality food and quality restaurants. I’ve tried dozens of Thai restaurants over my lifetime here and of course some haven’t been great, but some are really great and I find they seem to really excel at a few dishes. Some of my favorite dishes are nam thok kor moo yang (only one restaurant here serves it), nam khao, papaya salad (HOT and sour as it should be), laab of course, sour sausage, and I love pad kana moo grop!!
@Krossfyre
@Krossfyre 5 месяцев назад
The thing I kind of disagree on is any dish that's stir fried, if they're using a wok and a big burner they can achieve wok hei much more easily than you can. That's an element that's hard to capture at home, unless you're cooking in batches like Kenji recommends, but then you're cooking in batches, which is a bit of a pain. I don't think it really changes the rankings, but it does mean that if their ingredients are decent then they're often a step above what you can achieve at home without more effort.😊

Cheaper as well. A thai curry can be 12-15€ where I lieve but for that price, you can eat curry for a week if you make it at home! I would try a restaurant curry if it has duck since that's more expensive to purchase.

This was one of the funnest cooking videos I have seen in a very long time. Such a clever topic and so well produced. I lived and worked in Thailand for five years, and the only thing I really miss is the food. I also would consider papaya salad to be the national dish of Thailand, hands down.

Looking at what ended up on the S-tier, the lesson seems to be "don't go to bad Thai restaurants". 😄 Where I live, stir fried noodle dishes are something you should never order, because none of the restaurants bother frying the noodles. Curries, salads and stir fries tend to be good.

Hi Pailin. Love your channel! Thai food is our favourite hands down. We have eaten in the top Thai restaurants in Paris, London, NYC, Las Vegas (unfortunately never been to Thailand) but our favourite restaurant is a small place out in Pitt Meadows called Pad Thai. Have you heard of it? I believe two sisters from southern Thailand run it and they are fantastic. The food is delicious and I would love to hear a comparison to the real Thai cuisine. Their Thai fried rice is so good I dream about it. We also love the Pad Thai and the Green Curry Chicken is a must. Love to hear your opinion. Thanks and Happy New Year

So. Much. Fun. To watch this! I do have your mail addy from another comment I made. For turn of the year I wanna make fishcake. In a slightly different way. But it reminds me of making my goulash. Nothing in common with the original from Hungary. *My* goulash. Breaking almost every rule. Every time I visit the US: I have to cook it at least once. But I wanna try out restaurants, following your advice. (And look up some more of your recipes.) A good experience we had: asking our waiter about his favourite dishes. That one turned out fantastic! (At a mexican restaurant in Ponca City. I'm german. I had no idea about what to order. My wife lived there. Even she was over the moon. She had never ordered these.) If a waitress/waiter can't answer that question: better leave that place. Instantly. Happy new year 2024!

These are good and accurate ratings. I am not Thai but had the pleasure of having Thai friends who would graciously invite me to their homes for amazing and authentic Thai food. Having tasted those I too get angry and disappointed by the cloyingly sweet junk that is served by so many Thai restaurants to please the American or Western palate. It is unfortunate that these restaurants choose to do that when the authentic flavors are so mind blowingly delicious!

I've been following your videos since forever and you have turned me into a pretty decent Thai cook. Of course living in Bangkok for 14 years makes sourcing ingredients fairly easy. I happen to be Pad Siew addict and your recipe, broken down into individual portions, is some of the best I've had here. I'm a street food person, rarely going to "farang' restaurants as they try to tone things down way to much, that is except the prices. Keep up the good work and show some more pictures of Tiger! With Metta!

Thank you for this quite intriguing list. These are a few more dishes I definitely want to try in the future. I was especially glad about your insights on pad thai. I had it two times before, first in a thai restaurant in Budapest, and second at home, prepared according to the recipe on your site (although I used brown sugar instead of palm sugar). And yes, the one in the restaurant was rather too sweet for me, and even the guy in the restaurant said this is how it's eaten in Thailand. Well, it's strange, I told to myself, but if you say so... I also had a Tom Yum soup before the pad thai. That was definitely better. As for my version, it was rather a bit on the sour side (not too much), probably not on par with pad thai prepared in Thailand, but it was more enjoyable for me than the sweet version.

This was really well done Pailin! I've always loved Japanese/Thai/Chinese/Korean/any Southeast Asian food but it's only in the last few years after retiring that I've actually started trying to make it myself instead going out to get it. I can do the typical dishes, sweet n sour/teriyaki anything, anything in a wonton or eggroll wrapper (even make my own wrappers :), and rice/fried rice/sushi rice (after years of trying to make good sushi I still can't do it, inari yes sushi nope :( Your channel has been an inspiration thank you!

There used to be a place here in Paris that did the most legit Pad Thai I've ever had outside of Thailand. The irony was that this was at least 15 years ago when Thai restaurants were almost non existent in this city and most people's idea here of Thai food was a completely fake version served in Chinese restaurants that had "Chinese/Thai/Vietnamese" written on their signage (those terrible faux Asian restaurants still exist here btw). Anyway, we only discovered this good place because a friend who worked at L'Oréal head office had a colleague from Thailand who told her about this restaurant and vouched for the Thai chef there. Everything on the menu was at least very good, and the dishes that weren't just good were excellent. The Pad Thai was phenomenal right down to the presentation, with different elements arranged around the noodles like a little pinch of salt, a little pile of tiny dried shrimp and all the other trimmings. Sad this restaurant's no longer around, we have a lot more Thai in Paris now but some (not all) of it is more on the trendy side than the good side.

Good ‘Pad Thai’ are only find in specialty restaurants that only cook ‘Pad Thai’ (or has Pad See Ew along with it) rather than general places that has Pad Thai on the menu, even in Thailand. Same with ‘Rad Na’, I think it requires time and patience to cook the gravy to get the right thickness texture and flavors. If it isn’t a specialty place for Rad Na and have it with other type of Thai dishes, they often rush the process to get the order in time so most of the time it comes out too watery or lack of flavors. Added: First time in Sydney, I surprised by broccoli(some places even added carrots) in Pad Kraprao, which is an unusual experience for a Thai person.

Great list! Pad Thai is A-Tier here in Seattle. Lots of places do it right, though you do still find some restaurants serving the gloopy and vile ketchup-based variant. I need to find a place that has some of the specialty items you mentioned to go and try! Last thing; delivery and dine in are two different experiences, and I tend to avoid ordering certain foods (e.g. fried things) for delivery that I would otherwise order when we go out. You almost need two lists!

I much prefer to eat at home…and trying your recipes. I even got a Kirk mortar and pestle to retry out more dishes. Generally I can find the ingredients in Asian store in San Jose better for Thai, Vietnamese ingredients.

There's a Chinese restaurant here in Cleveland called Siam Cafe. They do a few Thai and Vietnamese dishes as well as Chinese. When they opened years ago, Thai food was just making big inroads, so they called it Siam Cafe! In any case, their version of this which they call "Hot Basil Grounded Pork" is the best of their Thai dishes. Properly spicy.

The best Thai dessert I have ever had is fried banana in Wanton with coconut Shredded coconut With a honey red chili sauce Dipping sauce. It is fantastic you take a piece of banana wrap it up in a piece of one ton with some sweetened coconut shredded coconut With the banana Wrap it up deep pet fry it And then let it drain on some paper towels For a couple of minutes And in the mean time you get your honeysauce or you get your honey Hey get your red chili paste Sometimes they have a red chili like jelly It's almost like a jelly you can use either one of those and it's got the flakes of the red pepper and the seeds in it and you mix that in with the honey then you take your pieces and you dip it into that and you eat it It is fantastic one of the best worldwide desserts I have ever had. hands down it's on par with Baklava and cheesecake In its deliciousness

This is such a great and in depth video! I will say that there was one time I went to try boat noodles at a thai place before because I wanted to get something new, and I was really disappointed. It felt like bland broth and sauteed vegetables with noodles, very nondescript and just didn't taste good. I thought since I hadn't seen it on the menu before that it would be distinctly good. Now I know I wanna try it somewhere else when I see it again!

That's b/c it is a specialized dish and most places that serve it (here and in Thailand) --only-- serve that dish . Most places that have it as part of a large menu don't do it right. If you're in Portland, def. try Nong's Khao Man Gai.
@Kwippy
@Kwippy 5 месяцев назад
There are numerous RU-vid recipes for khao man gai. Nearly all will not mention MSG. In SE Asia, this dish is always made with liberal amounts of MSG. You can make it without MSG but it will not taste like you get in Singapore and Thailand.
