Amphoe Phon ) is a little town in Khon Kaen, where they are well known for their Thai Isaan style sausage called sai krok Isaan. Read all about it here: Located along the highway in Amphoe Phon, youll start to see numerous stall set up selling sausage, all dangling from the side of the road. I had actually been past quite a few times, but usually in a bus, so I wasnt able to stop. But seeing the strands of Thai sausage, I always knew I needed to come back. So we finally had the transportation to get there, and we went to a restaurants called Mam Yai Goong. Mam Yai Goong, like many of the other sellers in the area, specializes in two main types of Thai sausage: mam ) and sai krok Isaan. Sai krok Isaan ) is the most widely consumed sausage in Thailand, mostly just a pork based sausage, thats seasoned with salt and left to dry in the sun. The sausage is an extremely common snack that youll find in Bangkok, being sold from mobile carts throughout the city. Many people love to grab a stick for an afternoon snack. Mam ) sausage on the other hand is not available very often in Bangkok (Im actually not sure why, I think it should be available, and I actually might like it better than the sai krok Isaan. The majority of people that eat at Mam Yai Goong, often stop by in their cars and get some sausage to takeaway. If you go this route, you just basically choose your strands of sausage and they will vacuum seal them in a bag for you, and you can happily go on your way and eat your delicious Thai sausage whenever you please back at home. But at Mam Yai Goong ) there are also a few tables, so if you can also sit down and enjoy a full meal, with plenty of sausage, and a variety of other Isaan dishes to eat as well. We decided to eat there, and Im happy we did. When I saw ka prao mam ) on the menu, a dish of Thai mam sausage, sliced into bite sized pieces, and then fried with holy basil leaves, I could not resist ordering it Im not sure if anything could get better than that. It was sensational. The sausage was crispy and salty, and the flavor of the chilies, onions, and holy basil was incredibly delicious. For the sausage, I also ordered mam neua, the Thai mam sausage made with beef (but there was also a pork version which was very good as well. One of the things I love about mam neua ) is that its very lean. The recipe really is mostly meat, and theres a little liver in the mixture to give it its dark signature color and also to add a little bit of richness to the meat - but I couldnt really taste the liver in the sausage once its prepared and cooked. The sausage was sliced and then deep fried, though Im sure it would have also been incredible grilled over charcoal. The sai krok Isaan ) Thai sausage was also cut into bite sized pieces and then deep fried to a crispy. Unlike the mam, which is very lean, sai krok Isaan is very fatty, and therefore more moist, and this was probably some of the tastiest Thai sausage that Ive ever had. Because we were on such a meat mission, I also ordered neua dad deaw, strips of beef that were cured and then dried in the sun. Its sort of like Thai beef jerky, but just not quite as dry or as tough. It was excellent. I had a wonderful time eating at Mam Yai Goong. The food and her service were all incredible good, and that was definitely some of the best Isaan sausage Ive ever had in Thailand.

I've been watching your videos for about six months and I really love them. I am now living in Chiang Rai and just finished watching the videos you did from there. I have a silly question. How can you eat food as spicy as you do with a straight face? When I bite into one of the chilis, it's like my mouth is on fire and I often choke and cough. My eyes water, my nose runs, and I break out in a sweat even more than what is caused by the heat of the day. I've tried to build up my tolerance and do pretty good most times but the way you pile on the naam prik and the chilis blows me away. Anyway, keep it up, they're great.

Howzit Mark, Great video again The way I determine if its a good video is that even though I'm full from just eating, I immediately get hungry again watching you eat My wife would always ask me to stop when driving when she sees mum nuea but after I reffered it to doo doo on a string (sorry but that's what it looks like to me, she lost her appetite for it and stopped asking me to stop and buy it when we see someone selling it on the side of the road. Keep up the great job and thanks for putting out all these great Thai food videos

Wow I've passed that cafe lots of times on my way to Khon kaen Mark but I've never stopped to taste the sausages that look really delicious My Thai gf Isaree is the driver and I don't really have much chance of getting her to stop Hahaha. But I will certainly insist next time we are passing that she stop the car so I can indulge and enjoy those beautiful sausages dishes: ) Fantastic work as usual Mark, Thanks Ryan.

we have same sausage in philippines. some are sweet and little bit sour. and the dried beef i've seen we called it tapa. it is served with garlic fried rice and sunny side up egg. with vinegar, onion and garlic with chillies too as dipping sauce.

Actually its shallow fry and not deep fry, the entire sausage should be submerged in oil to call it deep fry. Shallow frying is not healthy as food when exposed to air while frying absorbs more oil. Deep frying is actually healthier than shallow frying

Wow, awesome food buddy I am already salivating just by watching this video. This seems similar to the chinese sausage la chang. Tried it in Hong Kong but I can't resist trying the thai version. Continue travelling and stay safe mark: )

Thank you Mark, for your lovely videos. I learned the art of Thai cooking in Chiang mai with chef Sompon Nabnian at the Chiang mai Thai Cookery School, which you will probably know. Kawp khun krap Khun Mark

Oh that oil looks nasty but I bet it's really delicious. Oh well, I love deep-fried food I don't think I could eat a fresh chili though. I feel like it would be the end of my taste buds. haha

I'm revisiting your older videos. It's fun to see how your style has evolved through time. Love to bloopers at the end, and that you show that you're still learning Thai years after moving there.
