MAE HONG SON (, THAILAND - Welcome to the beautiful province of Mae Hong Son in Northern Thailand, home to a large community of Shan, or a Thai Yai ( ) people. We had the privilege to spend a few days Muang Pon, a Shan village, where I learned so much about their culture, and especially the unique Shan food. This was actually my first full Shan meal, and I was blown away by the incredible flavors, spices, and ingredients used in their cooking. Shan / Thai Yai ( ) is very different from Thai food. Shan food is influenced by Burmese food, Southern Chinese food, and still its own cuisine. The Shan use something called tua nao or fermented soy beans in almost every dish. It s one of their main signature ingredients for flavoring boosting umami. For this incredible Shan food meal, we had a number of local dishes. One of the main dishes was a local Shan chicken curry, which was fantastic. Another dish they cooked was lung of Shan meatballs - which I think could be the best meatballs in the world. For these meatballs, they made them with frog and tons of spices and chilies. Although they didn t fully stick together, the taste was outstanding, the best meatballs I ve ever had. It was an amazing Shan food meal and an amazing experience to hang out in Muang Pon village

Hi Mark, I've been a fan for years, your content and video quality is always great but you yourself have become very very very repetitive to watch! Your food description is too much of a farce. I wish you brought a co-host, featuring someone else or bring more your wife into it. Or any other, a tour guide or something.

Thats the difference between learning languages. Someone speaking English as a second language with a strong accent will generally be understood and won't constantly be corrected. Other nationalities will look at you blankly if you slightly mispronounce a word and take joy in putting you right at every turn lol.

Every food you eat is individual. Actually you should mix rice with all curries well then. While mixing the food all your fingers should intact except thumb finger.

My favorite part was near the end where he just kinda let the camera run while he had a cute little exchange with the ladies! So good.
