For more details about this incredidible Thai grilled fish, go here While I was in Udon Thani, a pretty decent sized city in the northeastern region of Thailand, I went to a restaurant called Udon Miang Pla Pao (. Pla pao ) in Thai is roasted or grilled fish, often covered in a thick layer of salt, then roasted over charcoal. If youre interested in making Thai style salt crusted grilled fish, heres my full recipe: Back to the restaurant, one of the things youll immediate notice as you walk into Udon Miang Pla Pao ( ) is how fresh their fish is. The fish is still alive and swimming in little containers of water, and they fish them out, take out their guts, and then stuff them with lemongrass, pandan leaves, and lemon basil, and then coat the fish in a thick layer of salt. The fish then go onto the grill, and roast over an indirect charcoal fire for about 15 minutes. One of the things I loved is that they stick a sticky down the fish, and the grill master removes the stick and judging by how wet the stick is, he can tell when the fish is fully cooked - thats how he can cook the fish perfectly without overcooking it. Miang ) is a word that means to wrap in leaves, and pla pao ) is roasted fish, so the combination is grilled fish wrapped in leaves and herbs and its even more glorious than that. At this awesome restaurant in Udon Thani, they served our grilled fish along with a basket of green leaves and vegetables that included lettuce, wild betel leaves, sweet basil, cilantro, dill, and Vietnamese coriander. On a separate plate, there were all sorts of sliced ingredients as well, including ginger, lemongrass, shallots, chilies, garlic, mustard greens, khanom jeen rice noodles, pork rinds, and a few more. Finally, this amazing Thai dish was served with not just one, but four different dipping sauces of different heats and flavors. All of them were tasty, but I liked the original garlic chili sauce, and the fermented fish sauce chili sauce. In order to eat miang pla pao ) you first grab one of the larger base leaves, fill it up with some grilled fish, then go crazy adding in as many of the sliced ingredient toppings as possible, and then add some sauce. Then wrap up the handheld treat, and eat it like a miniature taco. The fish, which was tilapia, was incredibly juicy and tender, and the meat was naturally sweet from being so fresh. Along with the miang pla pao, Ying and I also got miang pla tod, a deep fried fish. The same fish, a tilapia, was sliced up and hollowed inside out, then deep fried to a golden crisp. The fish was served with the same basket of green veggies and herbs and complementing ingredients. Instead of the juicy meat of the grilled fish, this was crunchy and crispy. Both were amazing, but overall I preferred the healthier version, the miang pla pao. Udon Miang Pla Pao ( ) is a wonderful restaurant in Udon Thani, Thailand. On top of serving delicious food, I also really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, sitting in nice private covered tables. It was a meal I wont forget, I loved it.

Are you planning to go to England any time soon Mark? If you are planning to go there, I STRONGLY suggest going to the Camden Market, which is really near London Borough Market, which was where you were in the summer. The food they do is from literally every country in the world. Is does Argentinian steaks, Italian pittas, chorizo tortilla's, , Turkish kebabs, Peruvian peri peri chicken, and also has lots of Malaysian and other asian, and mexican street food stalls with delicious tacos. These are made by people from their own countries as well. There are 30 different nations of street food made traditionally within the market

We just went out to dinner at this place with some old friends. I can attest that the food at this place was excellent. We ordered two fish hot pots, one grilled fish, and about 10 other dishes with cokes and bottle water. Feeding 7 people, we left paying 1600 baht = 46. What a deal and an excellent meal. Thanks you Mark and Ying for the recommendation and review.

I just love the way you roam around world and eat such yummy food and share with us. Only one concern I have, do you really get to taste real flavor of those food when you mix up with crazy amount of chili? as a chef, chili kills food flavor and all you taste is chili

If anyone watching this wonders how Mark stays so skinny, it's a combination of eating great healthy foods (notice how almost everything he eats is super fresh and lots of veggies) as well as all the CHILI he eats. Chili is scientifically proven to increase your metabolism.
