all right welcome back to the channel guys today i am back in bangkok as you know if you follow
this channel i've been in phuket town for a few days with mr paddy doyle and i also stopped for a
little family getaway in sila ja but now i'm back in bangkok first video back in a week so i thought
you know what i was going to go to a really touristy area like ceylon or sukhumville and
show you around there but i thought no actually i'll show you what i do every time i get back to
bangkok i'm going to take you to my favorite stir fry restaurant in bangkok grandma's no name sookie
let's go alright guys but before i start the video i just want to say a big thank you to sid
and nij amir oh yeah thank you very much for supporting this channel financially couldn't do
it without you guys so this video is for you okay so some of you will have been here before we're a
two three minute walk away from mrt bangla or bts bangla depending on what mode of transport you're
taking here it's a busy road called petka sim road we're just stopping in a little non-descript
no name sucky restaurant and when i say no name i mean it has no name i asked her last time i was
here i told her i'd put it onto google for her said what should we call it she said nature no
name don't have a name so it's called major sookie on google maps if you want to look it up now this
restaurant will be familiar to any of you that have been following me for over the last couple of
years some of you might i've gone back and watched this restaurant but i thought you know what
now i've got so many more subscribers than when i put up the first video it would be criminal
it would be criminal for you guys not to know about this restaurant so
we're gonna go and grab the best sookie hang i've had anywhere in the whole entire world
we're also gonna be getting some incredible pad crispy pork belly with chinese kale
and
i've been thrown off a little bit because we haven't got much uh
we haven't got much we haven't got much crispy pork left guys
and this is what happens if like me you're an idiot and you turn up to places you know at 2
p.m when you should have turned up at 9 00 am um but anyway she's got a few bits for me
i wish you could smell this guys like unbelievable she's just finished
my sookie and now it's just a quick clean of the wok and we're into the moocrab
i wish i could just press a button and you could smell this guys unreal
all right guys so i know saying that something is the best in bangkok makes me
sound like an absolute idiot and i always tell you do not listen to youtubers telling
you this and that is the best thing they've ever eaten in thailand but guys
i have eaten pakka namu crop everywhere anywhere they sell it everywhere i've been in thailand
everywhere especially in bangkok i've eaten this dish i used to eat this dish at least once a week
for a year when i got here shooky hang one of my favorite stir-fried noodles in the world
and this is by far the best place i've ever had it she also does a mean package
so don't miss that if you do come down here but i'm gonna struggle to finish both these plates
let me show you though exactly what i've ordered all right guys i can't even begin
to explain to you how good these stir fries are let me show you the smooth crop see i thought
there was only a little bit but that just shows how greedy i am because actually there's quite a
fat load of crispy pork in here but let's look at the let's get closer
look at the fatty middle to the crispy crunchy
outside absolutely laced in chili and garlic and oyster sauce the freshest
the freshest pakka chinese broccoli gailan you will ever feast your eyes on
and wait till i tell you the price you won't get your head around it guys so
yeah loads of chili loads of garlic perfectly cooked
perfectly cooked rice i'm gonna have to get a little bit of everything
i mean this is an important tip for anyone cooking this at home right i don't know if you can see but
there's kind of lines going down the pack canal this one's probably a better one to show you
so prior to cooking you've actually got to like use a peeler and just get the outer
hard layer off i've got a few people asking me why there was why their pet canal was
so tough oh look we've got some sprouts as well it's like sprouting broccoli but it's
right and then we have what i claimed to be the best sookie in the whole world ever didn't i
like quick disclaimer i haven't eaten all the sookies in bangua let alone
the world but anyway so we got perfectly cooked squid
the freshest prawns we've got some more chin some sliced pork with a little bit of cabbage
then vegetable ways we've got morning glory pak bong water spinach
and chinese cabbage we've got some chicken as well in there some chicken breast
the
the wounsen noodles we've got some scrambled egg going through there
oh and that sucky sauce high heat cooking just the way we like it all right let's
try and get a little bit of everything we'll start off with some squid let's go
it never gets old that is absolutely ridiculous the softest squid
i've had in any stir fry i think in bangkok cooked to absolute perfection
the sauce because she makes it
so it's homemade she makes the sauce everyday secret recipe i know a little bit about what's
in it um you can really taste the difference between this and a shot bought one so she uses
loads and loads and loads of cured red bean curds so like red tofu and it's like you pound it up
with garlic chilies sesame seeds vinegar sugar and when you get the tofu which is quite like once
you pound up it goes quite pasty mixed with the crushed up sesame seeds which are like you know
tahini once they're ground up you get this real like creamy rich mouthfeel now usually sookie's
far too sweet for me this isn't very sweet usually sookie isn't spicy enough me i have to add a bit
more of the sauce on there is no extra sauce because this is spice that's absolute perfection
right i get one of them prawns
now the smokiness of that broth makes you think that it would have to be overcooked
because you couldn't get that much flavor frying a prawn and get it that soft
i know the seafood comes in fresh every day because that's what first drew me to this
place they were peeling the prawns i saw the delivery coming in the morning and they're
all there like cleaning them devein in the prawns and since then sat down i was absolutely
hooked this is incredible the sauce as i said the way it's caught is kind of like
it's hard for me to explain what it is but it's creamy sort of coats your whole mouth that tops
with the egg which is also giving it richness it's got sesame seeds and sesame oil in which are two
of my favorite things in the whole world then that crunchy crispy veg and perfectly cooked seafood
right now on to the mukherov now sometimes the pakhana the chinese cow is like a bit crusty
and not the best here is always bright bright green and always they've got these little like
broccoli florets on it an interesting fact broccolini or tender stem broccoli was actually
made by breeding broccoli with canar with chinese kale that's where you get the little florets
again no sweetness to it she's added a little bit of sugar
just to sort of lift it but very very soy sauce heavy a bit of oyster sauce
loads of chili and some of the best
most crispy most crop crispy pork
so this was done in a matter of seconds she literally
gets the already cooked crispy pork the kanna put some chilli some garlic on top
and just cooks it fried egg so just throws it into a very very high heat wok all flames up
literally a minute later it's out same with the sookie that was cooked in a matter of like a
minute and a half two minutes flames everywhere this lady is absolutely incredible she must be
i'm guessing i don't want to be rude so i don't like guessing uh women's ages but i'd say she's
70s and she's still out here every single day just slamming dish off the dish after this
it's a family affair all her daughters work here as well they're all really friendly
always accommodating don't be put off by the place because you would just walk past this place
doesn't even look like there's anywhere to sit down there's tables but you walk
past you're not sure whether you can even come in or it's just a takeaway place but come in
it all adds to the ambience and for me this is what being in bangkok is all about which is why
this is the first place that i usually come every time i get back to bangkok
oh yeah i forgot to say it tom yum don't forget the tom yum epic
giveana
bye-bye
and guys i know what you must be thinking sometimes you're thinking is he going over the top
just for the sake of being on camera and doing a video because i think the same thing i see
people on youtube and i think no no no no no no no you're putting that on for the camera but i
am genuinely when i'm eating something like that it doesn't matter how many times i've eaten it
i'll react in the same way if i'm sitting there by myself because sometimes i catch myself doing
it i'll be like talking to myself and shaking my head and everyone thinks that i'm a proper weirdo
but in that instance there i'm sitting there just thinking what have i done to deserve this
what did i do right in life that has brought me to the point of sitting in this restaurant
eating this food for a hundred baht for two dishes ah i want you to experience this for
yourselves guys so please get down to bts as i said there's so much more stuff around here
to do than they used to be so come down check it out come down check out grandma's no name shooky
