Sheetz might also be a good comparison for Asian 7-11. Maybe. We don't have Buccee's in Ohio so I'm not sure of even the American comparisons lol. But I'll go out to Sheetz at 2am for an Arizona and some made to order tacos or something. Go there more for meals then gas, but I have one only 10 minutes from my house.
I've wanted to try tanghulu for quite awhile now!!m always nervous w boiling sugar, I think I told you that when I did those candied cranberries last yr, but yup, still no candy thermometer, and yup, still scared!!😂
I grew up on this food what she really needs try is tum mak hoong which in English is papaya salad. It’s like a extremely common dish that’s typically ate on the side with a protein and sticky rice. Personally I just also like eating it by itself with raw Cabbage still filling. Low calories too if she actually tries to go for more authentic.
Not gonna lie.. the grilled cheese looks so good! Just to try it, but with all the delicious native food there, I’d feel guilty eating hot dogs and grilled cheese.
Fun fact- when you are eating shrimp, the exoskeleton is actually rich of antioksidant.. stronger one that contains in algae so be sure to eat them don't waste it away.
I’d love to see her do a floating restaurant & I’d love to see a basic walk down a true street food area. A lot of people make their livelihood off a specialty dish they make up ingredients for and sell off the side of the road. A good place for her to go see good ideas would be “Dancing Bacon” 🥓 channel because one of the people in the couple behind the camera is Thai. They often feature cool and unique foods and markets. The drink Salah got I think is Milo. She should explain Milo and Milo flavoured foods. Very Thai. Also, I’d love to play in the 7/11 & checking out ramens and chip flavours and ready to heat and eat foods… Fruit salad, fresh fruit cutting stands, candy booths, fresh Thai booths, night markets have fun games and game booths to win foods or other prizes … So soo soooo Much! I’d never have stepped foot in a wax museum of western culture while in such a fun country.
according to the Greyhound Cafe at the Siam Center she had "mixed crispy ravioli" for 200 baht (5.66 USD).. she could have ordered fried tofu noodles for 190 thb instead for example..
Thank you for doing this. It was killing me that her 'Foodie' blogs had zero research or explanation to these very basic forms of Thai street food. ETA, What's actually considered the 'national' dish of Bangkok is Pad Krapao, which is ground meat stirfried with Thai basil and the larger milder chilies, seasoned with garlic, oyster sauce and fish sauce and served with rice and an optional fried egg on top. It kicks Pad Thai's arse up and down the street! 😂
There are a couple of dishes I had in Thailand that I still think about. One was a braised pig knuckles (pork feet?) and it was incredibly tender and flavorful with the sauce. The other dish was a rice dish topped with perfectly crispy duck. We would top that with mounds of chilis, sauce, and herbs. Amazing! There is so much delicious food in Bangkok, I think she's missing out if she sticks with tourist ravioli and 7-11 grilled cheese.
I love how she doesn't like sweets, yet needs to drink massive sized pitchers of sweet tea. And then she congratulates herself on not drinking the entire thing at once, and putting some of it away in the fridge after drinking probably 16oz of it already in one go.
That pad Thai looks like it has little pieces of bbq pork in it (the meat pieces with the red outside – usually a bbq pork coating they put on when they cook it) 🫣 rip Chantal’s Muslim arc lmao
Can’t believe they’re in Thailand, amazing cheap food everywhere and they’re eating at the 7-11! It’s like eating at the corner store that sells nothing but junk for kids.
It bugs the crap out of me how she alwaysss adds whatever ramekin of sauce or extras she is given before tasting her meal.. Pack on those needless calories Foodie!
I am an absolute sucker for Thai food, especially since it works so well with a lot of my dietary restrictions. Hard pass on seeing Chantal eat anything with sticky rice with her hands, though. That may put me off Thai for too long and I don't want that!
The green papaya salad in Bangkok is absolutely delicious. Every single time my husband and I go to Bangkok, I order that every single day that we’re there. I make it at home but something about having it in Bangkok, makes it tastes all the more better haha
I can’t believe they traveled and are eating in a cafeteria setting with disposable dishes. Go to a nice, reputable restaurant, and spend some coin FFS!
It's weird they didn't show him eat the noodles. I don't know why She thinks that every food review needs to be a positive one. Everything she puts in her mouth is her "favourite.' Eat it, say you don't like it and move on. Makes you sound more credible as a food reviewer, Unless he gagged and spit it up like a child…. which he probably did
I don't know why Foodie insists on making Salah try food he doesn't like, and then this video has a caption essentially criticizing him for not wanting to try it. And anyway pad Thai is not anything unique and this was just mall food. Why is it so wrong for him to just say no? If something doesn't look appetizing to someone, it's perfectly fine to not eat it. Sheesh.
Thank you for this Sansa, you are such a treasure. One of my favorite memories of thai food was red rice quite a few years ago, but I couldn't find it where I was living at the time. Off to Google, thanks for the reminder!
Thank you ~ new sub ❤
Sansational! Thanks for the video!
My god she’s a) broke and b) boring AF – exaggerated yawn aaaand sleep 😂🤣😂🤣!
None for me thank you. None of it. Just a Cranky Turtle in WV with “non-adventurous” tastebuds.
☕️🐢💙💛
What’s with the Mark Weins reactions?

Don't feel bad, Salah, I don't like pad Thai either!!🚫💀😂

i was replaying the part when she asked for fish sauce cause i thought it was just me that saw the lady didn't give her any lol
I saw the pad Thai portion and thought that will never fill foodie up alone
Not gonna lie.. the grilled cheese looks so good! Just to try it, but with all the delicious native food there, I’d feel guilty eating hot dogs and grilled cheese.

You forgot the 3 dishes they had when they first arrived at the hotel! The shrimp dish and the other 2 fried meat dishes. 🙂
I’d love to see her do a floating restaurant & I’d love to see a basic walk down a true street food area.

She looks like a friggin clown with that hat and her flower top.

As an Italian- thats not a ravioli- maybe a wonton/ rangoon….definitely not an Italian ravioli.
You have the best videos about the food they eat! So interesting…thanks😊
That pad Thai looks like it has little pieces of bbq pork in it (the meat pieces with the red outside – usually a bbq pork coating they put on when they cook it) 🫣 rip Chantal’s Muslim arc lmao
2:45 she sure didn’t give any sauce🤭 – maybe if miss thang would quit being so uneasy while recording or in public she would’ve noticed lol
I saw that about the shrimp sauce! lol One little pepper fell off the spoon that was it!! I watched it 3x What is she talking about? 🤣
Oh wow i love the way the (nonexistent) fish sauce tastes!!
🙄🙄
So much for her eating only with her right hand.

Thai tea has no spices and hainanese chicken rice are not from china despite the name… WHY Americans are so DUMB🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Salah will be glad to return to Kuwait as he's not keen on Thai food 😊

my fave is pad see ew or tom ka gai soup 🍲
At 2:45, the Thai lady doesn’t actually put fish sauce on her plate! Watch, she just drops a piece of one crumb of something! 😂
I find it hilarious that chantals favorite place to eat in Thailand is thw 7 ,11. But of course it would be. Thank you sweetheart 💜😘
I don't think she actually tastes any of the food. Just scoops and swallows.
❤

She brought him to a Chinese restaurant, I believe prior which is the same flavor, and he didn't like it.

I thought you’d added the ominous music as she was eating for a second there 🤣
Thank you for this Sansa, you are such a treasure. One of my favorite memories of thai food was red rice quite a few years ago, but I couldn't find it where I was living at the time. Off to Google, thanks for the reminder!
My favorites are tom kha gai soup, som tom (with salted duck egg if they have it), and khua kling curry (especially with pork). Now I want Thai food!
Salah acts like he’s above this culture. It’s really disrespectful.
