Taw Baw Pla Pao ) is one of the best restaurants in Udon Thani. Get more details here: Udon Thani has quite a food good local restaurants, including an amazing restaurant that serves beef, and when it comes to fish, Taw Baw Pla Pao ) is one of the absolute best options. They specialize and are known throughout Udon Thani for serving some of the freshest fish available in the city. The restaurant is located near the Udon Thani airport, so every now and then a plane will fly overhead. You can either choose to sit at one of the tables, or you can sit in a private relaxing bungalow - thats what we decided to do - how could you give up the chance to recline while eating a meal? The menu at Taw Baw Pla Pao ) includes all Isaan northeastern Thai dishes, and also some local specialties as well, but everything is focused on tilapia, which in Thai is known as pla nin. Something many people order at the restaurant is a whole salt crusted and roasted fish, known as pla pao, but since I had been eating pla pao frequently while in Udon Thani, I decided to try some of the dishes on their menu that are harder to find. We started with a dish called pla luak jim, slices of fish, boiled with a trio of herbs including lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. The fish was dished out onto a plate, garnished with cabbage, and topped with a handful of toasted fried garlic. The pla luak jim ) was served with a side dipping sauce, similar to an Isaan style seafood sauce, that included lots of fresh garlic, chilies, and a perfect blend of fish sauce and lime juice. It was an excellent way to start our meal. The next dish that came was a plate of som tam Laos, green papaya salad doused in fermented fish sauce, chilies, and with a Laos olive inside. It was fantastic, always one of my favorite dishes at any Isaan restaurant in Thailand, and in Udon Thani, they make no mistakes when it comes to som tam. But the dish that was the most outstanding was the laab pla, a minced fish salad, that was stashed full of all the delicious laab ingredients like fish sauce, lime juice, toasted sticky rice powder, chili flakes, and herbs like cilantro and mint. The fish was oily and moist, and absolutely beautiful. I loved it so much that I ended up buying two extra bags for takeaway after we finished out meal, to eat for dinner that same day. Finally, the last dish we had at Taw Baw Pla Pao ) was bon pla, a recommendation we got from the waitress. It was my first time to see bon pla ) on a menu, so I wasnt sure what to expect. It turned out to be similar to a fish nam prik, a type of chili sauce. The bowl included minced fish, with shallots, diced chilies, cilantro, and a broth that tasted to me like fish stock mixed with a bit of pla ra - fermented fish sauce. The bon pla ) was served with a plate of boiled vegetables to dip. It was excellent. Taw Baw Pla Pao ) is one of the best restaurants in Udon Thani that I ate at during my stay. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the freshness of their fish is what really stood out. If you are in Udon Thani, Taw Baw Pla Pao ) is one of the top restaurants to eat at for fish.

your videos are great but you should start asking yourself where all this food /seefood, fish. meat comes from or bread/cultivated in Thalland or wherever you travel, I wonder how much gemical/ antibiotics is in your body you should go for organic food so please start conserning your intrest more in this respect. Malasia has organic farms you should get interested infact I fear for your health

Mark, another enjoyable video. just a thought; perhaps in the future you can show some receipts for some of those great sauces I recall using a powder like hot seasoning on my food there. kind of had a texture of sugar. cinnamon color. and pretty hot. Used a lot on my Chow Pot( maybe spelled differently. Craig from Texas. Thanks

Mark, I absolutely love your videos. This video is one of my favorites that I love to rewatch over n over. It's so comforting, satisfying, and miserable at the same time. It makes me miss my dad's cooking. I love your videos. I love very spicy food as well. I'm going to go make fish laab and sticky rice now.

You should travel to eat street food in Korea or other countries you don't usually go to. You should also just do some videos of eating in unique restaurants in the Unites States. Good luck and have fun traveling and enjoying mouthwatering dishes I don't get to eat; D

Thanks Mark for doing my traveling for me so I am able to stay home and garden some of those vegetables you use and eat. The food you show is fantastic. I take some recipes and make them my own. With your help we are eating more fish. Thumbs up Mark

this can be seriously sold at fancy resturants in the West for over 18 without tax+ tip. so many food in asia is very cheap relative to its quality. I mean they put some good/ diverse ingredients and sauce into their food and taste amazing.

That was Awesome Fish and seafood are my top favorite foods. Unfortunately, I'm in a landlocked state, so fresh fish is either imported, or found in high priced restaurants. I hope you do more on seafood dishes Keep up the good work
