Read about this restaurant here: Mit Ko Yuan ) is an excellent old school restaurant in the old part of Bangkok, located along Thanon Dinso, just down the road from Democracy Monument. Its a restaurant I had been wanting to eat at for a long time, and one day when Ying and I were in the area, we stopped in for a late lunch. The food, which included some classic Thai dishes, was fantastic, and I especially enjoyed the tom yum goong. We started our meal with a bowl of tom yum goong, which came in a bowl with a nice layer of red oil on top and some creaminess - all of which came from the creamy oils of the shrimp liver, as opposed to any milk or evaporated milk in the mix. The tom yum goong was some of the best that Ive had in Bangkok - a beautiful balance of flavor and the prawns were delicious. They were soft and tender without being rubbery at all. One of the best versions of tom yum goong Ive had in Bangkok in a long time. At Mit Ko Yuan ) we also had hoy lawd pad cha, a type of razor clam stir fried with fingerroot, basil, and plenty of chilies and peppercorns. Pad cha is one of my favorite Thai dishes - I love the earthy taste of the spices and vegetables, and their version with the razor clams was extremely fragrant and well balanced. In addition to these classic authentic Thai dishes, I also had a plate of sadoo lin wooah, Thai beef stew made with beef tongue - a fusion of Thai and Western cooking. You know a restaurant is old school in Bangkok when its a local restaurant yet they have a few Western style dishes on their menu - a tribute to the time when Westerners were invited into the kitchens of the Royal courts of Thailand and shared their dishes. The stew was a little on the sweet side, kind of sweet and tangy, but it was pretty good, and I especially enjoyed the big pieces of tender tongue in the dish. Finally, we ordered a plate of yawd fak maew pad nam man hoy, stir fried chayote leaves. And although it sounds very simple, it was extremely well done. The leaves were stir fried so they were crisp and fresh, with a wonderful fragrance of garlic

Wow they all look so authentic and fresh Yes there is nothing better than eating local foods in old school restaurants; ) Tom Yum looks like Caldo Michi in Mexico, very hearty seafood soup, you would love it too We have Chayotes but I have never seen chayote leaves in store here, look so delicious and fresh. Razoe clams look a bit scary lol I am only u sed to round shaped clams Must be amazing, cooked nicely with peppercorns. I guess the main thing in good seaood is not to overcook them and cook them just right, which would take a lot of experiences for sure I try to make Caldo Michi soon and show it to you on twitter x

One thing I just have to say is that so many of the dishes you show are universal. My fathers family are from Finland and Yugoslavia, yet I grew up taking left over tongue sandwiches to school for lunch. My mothers family are from Ireland and settled here in North Carolina so stir fried greens or boiled greens were always around. It was cheap easy food full of nutrition to feed the family. And that shrimp dish made my mouth water lol. Great video as usual Mark, Julia

I really enjoy eating tom yum. Took one of my friends to Thailand several years ago, his first time back since the Vietnam war. He had never had Tom Yum as far as he could remember. He said Tom Yum was hotter then he could imagine hot (spicy) being. He still liked it and kept eating it but with a lot of rice. Thanks for all your hard work, really enjoy your videos. Jon

Hi Mark, I have been watching your videos for a few years now and I loved all of them. I think I can see you becoming a celebrity soon. My request to you would be not to change in what you are doing. You are amazing at it and a great inspiration for many. Thank you for your beautiful moments and wish you all the success in the world.

Another vicariously delicious video, thank you. You've mentioned old school cooking before. Is this in a specifically Thai context or a broader Asian context? Old school implies something new, and I'd love to learn about the differences between old and new and about the cultural, market, and culinary forces behind the new foods. Thanks.

Hi Mark, thanks for sharing I love these unpretentious restaurants in bangkok where you can eat extremely flavorful and good quality dishes for a couple of bucks each. Hope you can post more of them soon, since in Feb it's gonna be my fifth time in BKK and I need new restaurants to visit: -) have a great day. Gabriele

Ying is quite patient. Mark is very lucky. I wouldn't be able to film my husband eat first all the time and then on top of that eating majority of the better dishes in humongous bites. Maybe next time he could film while she eats and talk about the various dishes. It would be a nice little change. Food for thought: )

First time I saw her razor clams that were not in the shell I was very very amazed to see this also the vegetable that you had is a Chinese dish but then this is Thailand so they call it a Thai dish very very good but you need to give more of an address of where to find these places thank you

Love razor clams. At a very popular fish market in Brussels, Belgium, razor clams are 6 for 6, 00. Not bad. On the other hand, in New York, USA, I had an appetizer of razor clams in the shell (10 count) for 18. 00. Great video as usual Mark.
