- In this video, we explore Chinatown in Bangkok, Thailand for the first time! Thailand is already known for its amazingly delicious street food - match that with the buzz of Chinatown, and you’re in for a real treat! Great smells, shining lights, and people around every corner! The REAL reason we came to Chinatown market was to try the renowned Michelin Plate awarded Pa Tong Go Savoey - which serves one thing and one thing only… Chinese doughnuts! On top of these delicious treats, we also try some other yummy Thai food as evening turns to night 😍

What's the name of the shop where u had pu aloy?
“ลูกชิ้นปลานายแปะ” you should try ,it very local and near Ekamai road
Oh nice! Thank you for the suggestion 🤗
@@2Passports1Dream what's the name of the shop of pu aloy (dessert)u had with tapioca balls?
Sorry we don’t remember the name! Not sure we even saw it 😅
I am Thai and I want to suggest if you have hot Thai Doughnuts (pa-tong-go) in the morning with black coffee, you will say wow!
That sounds perfect! We must find it in the morning 😍☕️
must dip it in to black coffee
Noticed.., you liked to say
'I am Thai' in every of comments. No need to do
that.
@@userlp66amn09cp Thank you, sir.
You’ve mentioned several times the unusual aromas. When I was in Thailand many, many years ago the aroma everywhere was to me almost overwhelming. As a young man from small town Ohio, I’d never been anywhere and the experience of Thailand was an adventure indeed! BTW, I LOVE your videos!
So true! They’re everywhere and so amazing 😍 the spirit of Thailand truly hangs in the air! Thank you so much for watching! 🤗
they use a lot of fermented fish products, one of the smell component is made of that i think
welcome to Thailand swasdee krub
What part of Ohio? I grew up in south of Columbus, just north of Circleville but in San Francisco now for about 6 years.
It's lovely to see you "Wai" the vendor. 🥰
But just only say "Thanks" or "Kob Kun Krub/Ka" or just nod and smile is OK. 😉👍☺️
Thank you for letting us know 🤗🙏🏼
You guys are making me so hungry at 2am!
When I lived in BKK I had pa-tong-go there all the time it was sooooo good! I miss Yaowarat so much!
Many people like to dip pa-tong-go in coffee or simply just sweetened condense milk but you might also notice at some places that sell rice porridge in the morning people like to dip the pa-tong-go in it too. May sound weird but you'd be surprised how good it is.
That sounds so amazing! Having it with coffee sounds perfect (we love coffee! 😍) Thailand is amazing for food, but being here for so long has allowed us to try some things that we normally wouldn’t come across on a short trip!
อันนี้จริง
Looks like things are really hopping now, thank God. Back to normal.
This looks so amazing! I have never been to Bangkok (just Chiang Mai), so now this is on my bucket list for the return.
You definitely must visit! It’s overwhelming at times but usually in the best way! 🙏🏼🤗😍
Always Enjoy watching your vdo
Thank you for always watching!! 😍
I’m growing up with Patongo dipping into hot milo or put it into congee. That’s so yummy. I love it when seeing you guys love bualoi because I love it so much while my french boyfriend who love Thai salty food but he never cared for Thai dessert at all 😂😂 it’s a bit annoying to me to know he doesn’t love thai dessert. By the way when you order bualoi you can ask for no egg. However, I prefer to have completely boiled egg instead of half-boiled egg. So most of the time I will ask for Kai-suk which means completely boiled egg. I don’t like when the yolk mixed with the coconut milk.
Moreover, there is another restaurant that they developed old school Patongo into modern fusion dessert by serving it with ice-cream. It’s so yummy too the restaurant name Patongo cafe and it’s located in Banglumpoo area nearby wat bowonniwet in old town area.
Amazing thank you so much for this comment! 😍🤗 It’s so interesting to hear other people’s ways of eating it! We just try it with a hot drink next time!! ☕️ Thank you for all the suggestions!! 🤗
I like half boiled egg in Bualoi. lol.
About Patongo or Chinese Dough I was surprised when my sister brought me to Cafe De Monde in New Orleans 30 years ago where I had a cup of coffee and French style Patongo! After my first bite I said "this is Patongo". I wonder who's the one who made this first but China has very long history so I guess it would be of Chinese origin. By the way, French Patongo from that Cafe De Monde in New Orleans' French Quarter tasted so good especially if you have it with Thai custard I think. They had the dough powder package for sale as well there and we actually bought some.
Oh wow what an unexpected but lovely place to find something like that 😍 Sounds super delicious! I’d be inclined to agree - it’s probably most likely that China did come first with it, but wow how fun to know this!
@@2Passports1Dream Yeah, my sis brought me there specifically to surprise me with French Patongo ha ha.
เริ่มพูดไทย เก่งแล้วค่ะ 🤩
🤗🙏🏼😄 thank you we are trying!
So much fun seeing you guys tasting those delicious looking foods by the road side, miss Bangkok so much!
Thanks for another thumbs up video.
Thank you so much for watching! We are so glad you liked it 😍 Plenty more to come!
ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทยครับ ..🙏🙏🙏..มีความสุขมากๆนะครับ .👍👍👍✨✨✨ปลาท่องโก๋ทานกับกาแฟร้อนตอนเช้าจะเข้ากันมากๆครับ...😋😋👏
Thank you very much! 🤗 Sounds yummy! 🙏🏼😍
Those corn fitter things are SO GOOD!, its impossible to eat only a few 😂 So nice to see Bangkok's hustle and bustle again. great video you guys!😍❤️
They bring Back such memories! Yea it was soooo busy there, quite overwhelming 😅! Thanks for watching!🥰
Thank you so much! 🤗❤️
😀
Thai-Chinese food and desserts are amazing. Watching you two having a good time in this video, I really miss eating MICHELIN Doughnuts dipping sweetened condensed milk with a cup of hot soy milk at local China Town with friends. I recommend you try eating MICHELIN Doughnuts with hot sweet drink like hot coffee, milk or soy milk (if you never try that before).
Thanks for your quality content! I hope to see more of your videos soon.
That sounds absolutely perfect… we love coffee and we loved these doughnuts! We were wondering why he was selling soy milk but now we understand! Next time we will make sure to combine the two 😍 Thank you so much for watching - there will be plenty more to come!
I absolutely agree. Alternatively, if you have Thai doughnuts with hot blended-rice soup (joke), you will say wow and wow.
50 years ago, I used to eat this donut(pathology) as coffee and beigenet in New Orleans, dipping the doughnuts in the coffee with milk. So good
In New Orleans? Wow that’s so far away. Are they the same as here?
Oh My gosh!! This place looks so amazing!! I must visit that doghnut place~~~ THank you for this video~! By the way I love this video colour!! I'm a big fan of you guys~
Thank you so much!! Oh yes it was super delicious 😍 so much food everywhere! Thank you - the evening lights looked so great on camera 🤗
I love Chinatown,so colourful,the foods,the craziness.
Great video and superb news on extending your visa’s 😎🤩
It’s absolutely so amazing and an overload of the senses! 😍 Thank you so much!! 🤗🤗

wonderful chinese district of bkk full of life and wonderful street food. I was pleased to see that you Dylan survived the spicy food (just kidding of course)😂😂😂😂🌋🌋🌋. I know I'm a bit boring in saying the same thing over and over again, but I really like your videos and you make me relive the wonderful moments I experienced in the past when I walked with Stefan many years ago just like you do in the Chinese district of bkk.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰💕😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much Antonella 😍❤️💛 It’s always so amazing to hear that you have been in these places with Pappa and we are exploring and he is here with us ❤️ Thank you so much! 🤗🤗
@@2Passports1Dream ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘
I’m in love with your wai 🙏🏻 when you were given doughnut, so cute 🥰 very Thai manner. Your Thai accent is superb.
We try to be polite to everyone 😀

Amazing Thanks for sharing
Welcome to Thailand
Did you love Thailand ?
We love Thailand so much 😍🙏🏼 Thank you!!

ขอบคุณมากสำหรับการติดตาม!
I love the opening music, I hope you keep it. Fun video with the outtake 😂
Hehe thank you, we thought it was very fitting! 🤗 Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your manner “ไหว้” (to give respect) when you pay and receive the things you’ve bought, so nice and pretty.
🙏🏼🤗❤️
Omg they look so good!!! 🤩 I thought it was pistachio cream 💚
Hahah that wound be the Italian version 😂😍 would have been delicious!
👍👍👍Great video, and make me missing my hometown so much, I'm Thai but I live in Sweden with Swedish husband now, thanks for sharing😊😊😊ขอบคุณมากค่ะ😀😀😀
That's so fun! Where in Sweden? Adriana is from Sweden 😍
@@2Passports1Dream That's nice, we live in Järna (Södertälje kommun).
Oh how lovely! 😍🤗
I watched your video and really enjoyed it.
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed the video 😊
This “pa-tong-go” is called the same as the ones you had at Burger King in Samui, but what you had at Burger King was the “bastardised”, or to be more polite, westernised. Whereas this one in Chinatown is authentic pa-tong-go.
This one was definitely better!!! By a long way 🤤
@@2Passports1Dream Can’t agree more!
Actually Pa tong go is wrong name too , It should call ew-ja-guay but in the past chinesefood vendors sale them together and thai people misunderstand that

Been waiting to go to Thailand again for 2 years now and this just makes me wanna go even more! wanna see my relatives and eat delicious food. *cries*
We really hope that you can return soon 🙏🏼🥰 we will eat some delicious food for you!
Hello i ve just started to watch your VDOs yesterday.
⚘🌝You both seem nice and polite. It s polite and implies that you re educated (even implies you come from good family), humble, respectful and good mannered to "🙏" elders. You d make them feel good.
For sellers they d feel good too but saying "kob khun krab /ka " is also polite enough.
In any circumstance if you re not sure whether you should 🙏 or not, even you 🙏 no one will mind. Better more than less. People should be kind if you are humble and respectful.
If someone "🙏" you, you re to 🙏 in return.
💐Thank you for loving Thailand, food, culture and people and showing positively to the world.
🌼Wishing you a happy stay in our home.
Thank you so much for watching! We try to be as polite as possible to everyone 🙏🏼😍
Whoa so many people!!
Ps. Mr. Pa Tong Go, he made them with the wide smile that shined through the mask! 😁
Oh yes! So many people around 🤗 He seemed to be soooo in the zone - he was great!
เพิ่งดูครั้งแรกเลยครับรายการนี้ ชอบมากครับ
Thank you very much kha 🙏🏼🤗

Good quality picture even in low light. Follow as always. 🇸🇪&🏴 in 🇹🇭.
Thank you so much ❤️🤗
That's interesting. So they gave you pandan flavored spreadable custard which I remember was used for dipping with plain bread. The donuts are usually dipped in sweetened condensed milk.
Yea they did! The ones in Samui were with condensed milk which is delicious, too!
Thank you very much. I am Thai. Welcome everyone to Thailand.
We love Chinatown!! Always so much to see and eat and always an overload of the senses. Those donuts however we have never seen or heard about so now we have to make it back again there soon! Unfortunately sweets are a weakness for me (Will) so this is right up my ally haha. Thanks for another great video you two ☺️
Thanks so much for watching guys! 😍🤗 soooo true, it’s really an overload of the senses 😍 I am the same (Adriana) - anything sweet and I must have it - we would definitely recommend these though so so yummy 😍🍩

Reminds me of fried dough that can be bought at the fair (in the states)
Looks so yummy
Oh yea! Any fried dough is usually a winner in our books 😍 it was delicious!
ดีใจนะครับที่ คุณทั้งสองคนชอบรสชาดอาหารไทย
We love it!
This looks like an awesome evening of street food 🤩🤤 so happy to Bangkok streets are bustling again!
Thank you for watching! Ah yes it was so amazing to see things pick up again 😍
Those donuts look so good😀🤙🏼
They were SO yummy 😍
another great video but I would just like to add that Pandan itself isnt sweet, it is sweetened using sugar. It is often added for its natural coloring and its fragrance.
That’s so interesting! We didn’t know that - thank you! It is so delicious (when sweetened 😍)
omg Dylan tell me how did you eat that spicy dish! ,,, I would be dead! I think afterwards you were also crying from your ears! you have been very brave. I would have done like Adriana.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👩🚒🧯🚒🧑🚒🔥🔥🔥
Hahahahha he was crying from everything 😂😂😂😂 luckily only for a short while and then he was back to normal! 😅🔥🌶

Hi there, have you guys been to Lupini park in Bangkok? You have the smaller version of the Kamoda dragon walking around in the park. You have to look around the water edge for them.
Also, if you go to the Red Cross Hospital in Bangkok, there they have a great snake show at 14h30. Not sure with covid if it is still on. Lupini park and Red Cross Hospital is very close to each other. It's about 400m apart.
Just a though, not many people know about it.
Wish I was in Thailand like you guys.
Enjoy
Hey! We've not been but we have seen the monitor lizards around Bangkok haha! Thanks for the suggestions!
Welcome to thailand

"Bua Loy" is Thai dessert. It is made of sticky rice flour kneaded with some other stuff like pumpkin or taro rolled into balls. The sticky rice balls are boiled in water and put into sweetened coconut milk. Some people put some egg in it too.
We love it!! 😍 it is so tasty! 🤗
Thank you..👍💙

Thank you so so much!! ❤️ only thing making it better is if it was shared with you 😍😍
Yes, I love going to Chinatown, the food is great.
Pathongko
Chinese snack that came to Thailand with the Chinese immigrants. In Mandarin it is called Youtiao, in Cantonese Youzhagui, literally means ‘oil-fried devil’ Due to a confusion with a different kind of dessert,
it should actually be called You Zha Guai in Teochew. It was previously sold together by street vendors who normally walked around and shouted both names out loud. However, Thai customers often mistakenly thought that the more popular You Zha Guai was Pathongko. Eventually, the real Pathongko disappeared from the market because of its unpopularity. In Thailand, Pathongko is also dipped into Thai Coconut Custard (Sangkaya) or condensed milk.
The legend of the snack:
During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), there was a famous and well-respected General, Yue Fei who had been known for his loyalty towards the kingdom and his Emperor. The Prime Minister of the time, Qin Gui had unusually resented Yue Fei. With the manipulative influence from his wife and to gain real power, he accused Yue Fei of a crime and executed him.
Although frustrated, there was nothing the public civilians could do. To relieve his anger, a baker thought of an idea of making bread in the shape of 2 people twisted together and deep-fried it in burning hot oil. The shape was to signify Qin Gui and his wife. Symbolically, they had burnt the Qin Gui couple in hot oil and eaten them up.
There are statues of Qin Hui and wife kneeling at Yue Fei gravestone in Yue Fei's shrine in Hangzhou.
Some visitors traditionally curse and spit on the statues.
Thank you so much for the info!
