Thailand-s Paradise Island - Koh Surin: - 100% Real Durian Chips - Order Here: SURAT THANI, THAILAND - One day for lunch, when we weren-t filming a full street food tour video, I wanted to have a leisure family lunch at an old Thai Chinese food restaurant in Surat Thani, called Soon Hiang Restaurant -. #hotpot #Thailand #SuratThani I loved the look of the old restaurant, with retro and original decor. From the tables to the floor and the decoration, absolutely classic. We had a chance to talk with the owner and chef, from the restaurant's family, who was very friendly and explained that his food was Teochew Chinese style. Among the Thai Chinese Teochew dishes you can order, just about everyone who eats at Soon Hiang Restaurant -) must get the pomfret steamboat (also known as a charcoal hot pot. It was delicious, simple, and I love pomfret - every chance I get to eat it, I love it. In addition to the pomfret hot pot, what really stood out to me was the sauce used for the fish which was a perfect combination of fermented soy bean sauce, some kind of acidity, and ginger for flavor. Awesome restaurant, classic style, and delicious pomfret steamboat! Total price - 1, 450 THB (44. 77 USD) Soon Hiang Restaurant -)

You are so lucky to be living in one of the best food destination of the world. Kuala Lumpur/Singapore and Bangkok are high on my list in terms of food quality. I think LA offers the most diverse authentic experiences. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Persian, Israeli, Thai, Mexican, American, Ethiopian. Unfortunately the European food such as Italian in the US is not the best. To have a great delicious on par with Europe experience you have pay a lot of money.

As a Thai-Chinese. that Pomfret streamboat really hit my hungry meter hard.
That type of fish streamboat with taojiew ( fermented bean paste )
is very common among Thai-Chinese family who come from the southern China for 2 generation ago.
That sauce really go well with fresh boiled fish so anyone come here might try looking for old style Thai-Chinese restaurant ( not the laxury one in hotel as those are mainstream Chinese dish like Dimsum )

I am Hmong Lao, from the US. I encourage you to go to Laos, Viengtianne region at Namngerm Dam, and ask for father THAM he is one of my all-time favorite village CHEF. He can cook every Lao food you ask for, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I love fermented beans. I usually make it with birds eye chilli and garlic, roasted tomatoes. Crush them all and add fermented beans, salt to taste. Tasty -
