Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
T-shirts: Thai Food Guides: Krabi is known throughout Thailand for being one of the major producer of cashew nuts and cashews happen to be one of my favorite snacks in the world. So when Ying and I were in Krabi the last time, we rented a car for a couple days, and I decided we needed to go get some cashew from the cashew factory. From Krabi Town we drove to a small town called Neau Khlong ) and then went to a cashew nut roasting factory called Ma Taeng. They roasted the cashew nuts, right there, and they actually dont just roast them lightly, but actually set them on fire, then extinguish them. Cashew nuts are from the cashew fruit, and the nuts come from the seeds of the fruit. Once roasted and blackened, the outer crust is pounded off, revealing the beautiful cashew nut. It was pretty interesting to see the cashews being roasted on fire. But definitely my favorite part of visiting Ma Taeng ) was buying freshly roasted cashews, and then eating them on spot. They were so good and so fresh. I visited this small cashew nut roastery, called Ma Taeng, near the small town of Neau Khlong, about a 30 minute drive from Krabi Town. Address: 53 Moo 1 Neau Khlong, Krabi 81130

Mark, you failed to mention that the cashew nut in its natural form is enclosed in an outer shell which contains a very poisonous substance that must not come in contact with human skin. It is similar to the resinous oil in poison oak, poison ivy, and poison sumac, and will cause extreme contact dermatitis. Even the smoke from the cashew roasting process is dangerous. I have eaten many cashew apples. They are available in frozen form here in our area where there are Mexican food stores, and in Spanish are called maranon. They are very juicy, sweet, and fibrous, but they have a peculiar odor that you have to accustom yourself to. I like them frozen and eaten like a popsicle, using the attached nutshell as a handle. They are found in a reddish blush color, and plain yellow. I find the yellow ones sweeter.

Thank you Mark for making my wife and have a deeper understanding of cuisine around the world, my wife is from the Philippines and the first episode we watched was the Buffet in Manila, since then we have been hooked on your food vlogs. We now follow the vlogs regularly and we eagerly await your next food adventure. My personal favorite episode is in Kobe, Japan, it looked as though that may have been your favorite place in your adventures as well based on your awesome reactions. My wife and I are foodies, and now when we try a new place, I ask her if the food is good, and she would say yes, i would then reply But is it Mark Weins good? if its that good she will do the Mark Weins trademark moveits deliscous head and shoulder roll. you're awesome Mark, thanks: )

hello Mark. I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina, little country in Europe. But i am great fun of Asia food, especially of Thai food. I fell in love with Thai dishes when i was in Thailand before 20 years. Since then I have spent my time learning to cook Thai food. I met some people from Thailand who taught me how to make some Thai dishes. Now i have my own restaurant where i cook some of Thai food, among other things. So, I would be thankful if you find some time to watch my videos and leave a comment or give me some suggestions about cooking. Best regards

Fascinating and the production is interesting, a little home made business surviving on their wits and work, which has been robbed from us in the UK, and everyone joins in to produce the wonderful Cashew nuts. I had the pleasure of some Cashew nuts from Thailand recently, do not know exactly where they came from, but they were magnificent. But to be able to eat them freshly roasted-WOWHowever, this jaunt through Thailand is fantastic, throwing up so much I did not know of the country SIGHAs always more please from a dreary, cold London in December.

I'm so glad that there are compilations of your face's reactions on YouTube. You really do have the best expressions, Mark. At first I thought it was practiced and just for the camera; however, while I'm sure you play it up a little bit, I can tell that the majority of your reactions are instantaneous and genuine. I love Cashews. They are my favorite nuts second to Almonds.

Hey Mark Loving your videos. When was this trip to Krabi? Did you also make vlogs of this trip? And when will your Bangkok or Bhutan vlogs be live? Waiting to watch them. I always go back to your Old vlogs from Taipei, Osaka, Manila and many more. Love them. A good mix of food and travel.

Cashews really are, at least to me, the best nut. The creaminess, sweetness, the crunch. In Trinidad, we used to roast it over open fire, watch out for the crackling, bubbling hot oil coming off the nut shells, those were the best, no need for salt or other additives.

you can actually eat the cashew leaves as an appetiser with spicy chilli paste. cashew leaves are one of the most popular ulam or appetiser in malay throughout south east asia. it really reminds on the sale in a malaysian border town called padang besar.
