I'm an American and I love food made fresh like this. ^_^ Yes, I agree that Americans do have the idea that food stalls, such as the one in the video, are disgusting and unclean. But, I love eating food like this. In fact, I eat like from stalls/booths whenever it's New Year's. Lots of food made fresh! Yum. It's better to "see" what is going in your food and the conditions they are cooked in than not knowing. I have been food poisoned by Subway, before, too. TT..TT
This pad thai looks DELICIOUS...I'm always looking for a Thai restaurant that can make the best pad thai. There are some good pad thai within my city but so far, I rate E-San of Portland, Oregon with the best pad thai. It has this dried, fired pepper taste...it's definitely of that skilled cook. I wished I can teleport to E-San whenever I want their pad thai...haha.
Best rule of thumb when eating street food, is if the locals eat there it is probably safe, as this is repeat custom for the vendor. but you have to remember locals are acclimatized for the food and region.
@commie39 The problem is in america everything is so molly coddled that we have weakened our immune and digestive system. All these rules regs etc etc they keep us from eating how we should be. Bunch of cry babies running this country if you ask me.
awe man. tht looks tummy and this vendor actually made the food presentable and gave u lime and greens on the side...i'd give him a tip for that <3 :) most vendors don't do that...
@bazzatheblue grapow/kapow is a minced meat dish with oyster sauce,chili ,and the big ingredient, lots of Basil ,it is better with a fried egg on top also and is served with rice,is quite spicy and pungent to smell and taste.Som tum is the papaya salad ,also very hot.
@MASTERNCS i used to think street food ruled too ....until i got food poisoned in mexico trust me the shit looked delicious but the diarreah lasted for days i was so fucked up after that day everything i ate turn into diarreah until i went to the doctor to get me some almost toxic medicine to fix me right up .....since then im very picky about what i eat on the streets
@MRX31605 LOL been there done that. I have a simple when it comes to taking risks eating st. food, pick the places with the most traffic when possible. Common sense also should tell you that if the shit looks good but my gut instinct tells me other wise, move on move on. LOL glade that you recovered well from the experience.
@MASTERNCS i sure did now when i eat street foods i tell the cook ....or have someone translate for me .....i want it WELL DONE PLZ lol .....i hate raw meat or chicken thanks
@MRX31605 Yes indeed, You almost have to nuke the damn meat when ever you are eating abroad, plus it's good practice to make sure that whatever you ate does not come back and pay you a revisit later on.
@rap1dcs Oh please. Americans in particular seem to have this idea that anything that isn't sealed inside of a plastic capsule must be crawling with cholera. These guys' livelihoods depend on people continuing to buy their food and living to tell about it. A food stall that gives people food poisoning isn't likely to stay in business for very long. I got a stomach flu last year, you know where I got it? Fucking Subway.
@rap1dcs It doesn't matter, it's still a very American mindset. Notice that I said "Americans in particular." not "exclusively Americans and nobody else."
@yerk3 Those Americans are just deluding themselves cuz they are assuming their oh-so-healthy happy meals are prepared with gloves and in sterilized kitchen. Remember rat infested KFC chain captured on video?One time I caught a KFC staff putting shredded vegeis in burrito with BARE HAND!
Totally agreed...my family and I got stomach flu from KFC and Pizza Hut before. So beware and aware that food not prepare by you will likely be unclean.
@yerk3 Fried flies and insect shit is still fried flies and insect shit no matter if you get sick or not. Plus you foreign creeps never have soap in the bathroom. Why is that?
@madisonelectronic Where, in this video, are there "fried flies and insect crap?" Some food stalls in Thailand do have fried grasshoppers, and they are mainly frequented by tourists looking to gross each other out and take clichéd photos. Real Thai food, the stuff the locals eat, is much more varied, and much more delicious, than you could imagine.
@sherparob1 you can choose the meat in pad thai, pork > chicken > prawn or just tofu...if you don't like it sweet then you hv to tell the cooker "mai waan" (not too sweet) then you will get what you waiting for ... ^_^
oh i did not know the person can choose what to put in pad thai but i knew mai waan means not sweet. im going to thailand in january so thanks for your info:) maybe i can eat something else instead of pad krapow all the time.lol
i don't know the real taste of pad thai in thailand but in malaysia it taste good.we call it kuey teow.its really delicious.
