PAD THAI: We drove about an hour and a half outside of Bangkok to a province in Central Thailand called Ang Thong (อ่างทอง). We came to search out a lady who has been making Pad Thai for over 45 years, and she’s now over 85 years old. #PadThai #ThaiFood #streetfood
Pad Thai Ba Lek (ผัดไทยป้าเล็ก) goo.gl/maps/EMGbeKx8ovb7SVC4A - I loved the shop and the laid back atmosphere, in the countryside, surrounded by rice fields. As soon as we arrived and I started watching Ba Lek make her pad Thai, I could see there were many differences from the pad Thai normally cooked modern style in Bangkok. Her version didn’t included any shrimp or tofu (but instead tons of duck eggs), and it was a totally different school and method of cooking. Instead of being a dry stir fry, it was more of a wet juicy fry, or a simmer in palm sugar syrup and tamarind.
It was an honor to watch Ba Lek make pad Thai, her expertise, skill, and knowledge of how to cook it, was astounding.
I ordered the bigger sizes plate which included two duck eggs. Overall, the taste was extremely rich from the duck eggs and the amount of lard she used to fry it. It was very sweet, but then again, it wasn’t a sharp sweetness because she used only palm sugar, but it was balanced by the saltiness and tartness of the tamarind. The duck yolks and lard made it so filling and rich. Price - 35 THB ($1.13)
An amazing experience, and she’s a true hero of Pad Thai in Thailand.

The best cooks are the grannies. They have the experience and also knows the classic ingredients. I miss my grandma
Me too

So true and same.

I miss your grandma~~~
*mark:* the way she masters the majestic fine art of gently dancing the noodles around the pan, a technique of which took her 45 years to learn
*Lady:* I just stir da noodle
😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!
🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
haha
@Michael Lito Verallo yeah, Mark is very polite. But I think just because someone is old and has done this dish 45 years you should not lie like Mark did. If you don't like it don't hype it too much... he could have done quick section about this woman and eat something else.
@@MultiJejje you can tell he does like it... he's just a VERY OTT person
Mark, your appreciation for food,people and your smile have actually had a direct impact in my culinary career.
I remember my first lead position in a kitchen when I was 21, I was a bitch. Super hard on people's mistakes, and felt constantly like I was on edge.
One night after a busy Saturday I went home, smoked a bowl, and watched a video of you in Cancun with ceviche I think.
Something clicked for me watching you so happy with such simplicity.
It made me step back, look at myself, and ask myself questions.
I grew a lot faster in my field (mentally) the following months.
Thank you Mark. ❤️
I'm Thai and this dish of Padthai looks amazing, I personally love thicky sauce like this.
อันนี่แหละครับของแท้ๆ หอมแดงเจียวน้ำมันหมู ส้มมะขาม น้ำตาลปีบน้ำปลาเคี่ยวจนงวดแล้วใส่เส้น ให้ดีต้องเส้นจันท์ ผัดจดเส้นเหนียวนุ่ม แล้วที่สำคัญผัดไทย อ่างทองต้องไข่เป็ดเลย สุดยอด ถ้าจะให้ดีต้องมีมะเฟืองหั่นบางๆ เห็นแล้วนึกถึงสมัยเด็กๆ เลยแม่ใหญ่ทำให้กิน อร่อยที่สุด เลยครับ สุดยอดเลย คนอ่างทองครับ
เห็นไข่อยุ่ในกะทะ น้ำลายไหล
แปลกมากสำหรับผม หากินแถวบ้าน มีแต่น้ำปลาเป็นส่วนผสมหลัก ... หอมแดงเจียวเอย ส้มมะขามเอย น้ำมันหมูเอย ไข่เป็ดเอย ยิ่งมะเฟืองยิ่งแล้ว ไม่เคยเห็นเลย ต้องหาโอกาสมาชิมให้ได้
Ngomong opo e??
น่ากินมากค่ะ
เห็นแล้วอยากทานมากค่ะ
Love the origin story of Pad Thai. You’re a natural storyteller Mark!
John and Malie imagine him writing a childrens book about the history of Pad Thai 😍☺️☺️
Mad
I’m sorry but that pad Thai look hella nasty. Pad Thai is suppose to be dry stir fried like lo mein not all in juices like that. The yolks are just cracked in, wth, at least cook the egg separate then as it in.
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN to each its own
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN you clearly have no idea what you are talking about....someone that has been making the same dish day in and day out clearly knows what she's doing...so you can go eat some dry pad Thai,I know what I'd have.
Mark is the director, editor, and host of his channel (with Yings awesome help). I feel if he got his own Netflix show it will not be as authentic. Keep going Mark! We appreciate your hard work and passion for what you do ❤️
Definitely, I get tired of packing and then unpacking just a couple weeks vacation per per. Mark has to do this many times every month, looks tiring but he is rewarded very well with money and good food!
When he explains about the food, he's like a 10 years old kid. He looks very excited and makes an innocent smile. I love it. As we get older, life could no longer be an exciting world. He's passion for food is amazing. What a beautiful life, Mark!
I couldn’t disagree more. It’s as we age that we gain an appreciation for the intricate and interesting things in our world. Food, art, culture, music, etc.
Respect to the beautiful lady....for serving people with her Pad Thai delicacy...God Bless you for another more 100 years...Beautiful vid Mark
85 and still strong, good for her!
Amazing, total respect. I hope she passed it on to the next generation.
Pad Thai is my all-time favorite dish, watching this makes me want to go.
God Bless this Grandma, watching her cooking pad thai really inspires me to always keep going in life. If I ever make it to Thailand one day, I will definitely visit her restaurant - her pad thai looks amazingly saucy which I prefer. Thank you for the video, Mark!
Amazing...great brief history of Pad Thai and the different version of it. Thanks Mark!
*it is always interesting to hear a little bit history about the food we eat.*
GUNNER Travel and Event yes it truly is!!!!!!!
But cinfusing when he said changed the name from Thailand to Thailand. I think it maybe Siam to Thailand
@Culture Freedom I thought it was invented by the Japanese (Bridge of the river Kwai era ) in order to cut down the consumption of Rice!
Mark's enthusiasm in commenting on his food experiences are always great to watch. I love pad thai noodles, but would love it more in this setting from the 85-year old master chef. Mahalo from Hawaiʻi.
I like Pad Thai but when I see how it is actually carefully made and how it is eaten with banana blossom and green mango, and learning about the history of pad thai, totally different. Mark, your channel definitely isn't only about being introduced to where to eat, but also the history. I love that you're taking us on this journey. Thank you!
I am Thai.
And I never seen Pad Thai serves with green mango before.
Would like to try it so much.
Mark I love you bro!! I’ve watch every episode since u been vlogging! Keep up the great work! God bless u and the family!
What I like about Mark is that you get BOTH the History as well as what the food is like. Wish you were my History teacher back in the day. Now, if we can just invent smellovision and the Transporter from Star Trek to beamed this to me, life would be great!!!😂
I love the balance of flavors and textures achieved in Thai food. It's a real art.
Almost at 5 million subscribers. Congrats mark!
I get excited every time I see new video from Mark Wiens!
Love how you’re smiling 24/7
I wish i could just spend one of my vacation with Mark Wiens. Just one week with him exploring the world eating different food from different cultures is one of my dreams now after watching Mark Wiens. I love the hard work and dedication you put in your videos. I could never see that side of the world. And watching these videos let's me feel like im their with you. Thanks so much and god bless you on your future journeys.
It's amazing how in shape mark is with all the food eating your truly blessed dude
he eats a lot of healthy food and does a lot of walking around/traveling so that burns a lot of calories.
Legend has it that one day he is going to eat a meal so good my man is going to lean all the the way out of the frame
Fall over maybe. That woud be a blooper for sure.
😂😂good one
🤣🤣
Or get stuck, like the 'leaning Tower of Pisa'! 😂
Hahahhaa nice one
Thanks Mark, can’t even begin to formulate into words how much positivity you bring
How interesting learning the history behind one of my favorite dishes😋! Thanks Mark!
Man, I seem to watch your videos just before dinner time as always. Thanks for waking up my appetite! 감사합니다! :) Korean-Canadian from Toronto.
Bless these hard working women. 😊🙏🏻❤️
For some reason the way he speaks reminds me of the enthusiasm of a sports commentator. So energetic!
She started cooking in her 40's!! An amazing gal.
I learned something new today about my favorite thai dish. Thanks mark wiens!
His reaction when eating dramatic but effective makes me jealous n mouth watery!
Look at the women she is 85 still cooking that pad thai,its all about passion and love....
or cause.. u know.. poverty?
The level of excitement in his face makes me laugh with a big smile. I love it.
I love pad thai hope will visit thailand sooooon ❤️ God Bless your family in an amazing way ❤️
From hawaii with love ❤️
Small youtuber here ❤️
Welcomed!
That has to be one of the sauciest Pad Thai we’ve ever seen! It’s almost as though all those noodles have sucked up all the liquid. Can only imagine how much flavour is in that dish. We love that Pad Thai is the only dish she serves - if you’ve been serving one dish for over 40 years, it’s bound to be one of the best of it’s kind. So lucky of you Mark!
Hey John and Malie, I agree, very different from the pad Thai often found nowadays. The noodles were full of sauce!
Mark Wiens Thanks for the reply. Hope to meet you one day on your travels! Have a great day 🙂
I love that Mark's channel has almost 5 million subscribers, he is so dedicated and puts his all into his work, Bravo Mark and family.
Jenny Eshed yes. i adore him
Just really love everything about your videos, Mark!! Even when you describe the beautiful little details of your surrounding! Well done 👍👍
Mark, your presentation skills have become so good. You have strong knowledge about the ingredients and how the food is prepared, the history and culture. You say when you like something and when you don't. You're close to a TV series with all of your experience. I don't know if that is what you want but the Food Channel could really use your style of show.
Mark I live in London and have an extremely hectic life. Your videos mellow me out. I envy your life. A truly wonderful person. Thank you for your insight and beautiful videos.
I agree but why my mom in-law so love to live there and insulting Asia??
Pad Thai is my all time fave dish. I would LOVE to try this one! The green mango added looks amazing! 🤤

I am not a huge fan of very sweet pad thai, but the additions of the pork fat, duck eggs, and green mango sound amazing.
grenoble11 The original Pad Thai isn’t very sweet actually 😉
poychange true. It depends on the restaurants’ recipes. Like this restaurant uses duck eggs instead of chicken eggs. I’ve not sweet-tooth so when i found pad thai that is too sweet..just put some sauces like fish and lime sauces (which always comes with pad thai) to lowering the sweetness.
@@poychange When I took a cooking class in Chiang Mai, the Pad Thai was perfect. It's hard to find a restaurant near me that has a balanced Pad Thai that isn't super sweet. I actually made a version last weekend with palm sugar syrup after reading the latest issue of SAVEUR!
@@theuniqueblue Yeah, the next time I may request for it to be less sweet. Fish sauce is usually not served with the pad thai in my neighborhood. I don't know why but I have a personal preference of not adding raw fish sauce to my meal. I like it heated at some point. I don't know whether it mellows out the flavor or I have a phobia that bacteria is growing in bottles in warm kitchens...
Good👍👍🇰🇷🇰🇷🙏🙏
Thanks for explaining what is pad Thai because I never knew exactly what it was.
Dude, wow! I love this video - you explain all the things I want to know, it's almost like you think like me. I love that you give the etymology of all the things that are added to the dish! Great job! Keep it up!
How am I just now finding your CZcams channel?! Your Insta always makes my day better!
How the hell. Hi uncle Ben. What a coincidence to stumble upon you here.
Nikolaj Christensen hahaha I like things that are nice!
Two heroes at the same place! Mark Wiens and Uncle Ben. Damn.
@@eralundberg928 haha hey man!!!!
I love pad Thai, I am dying for this right now. ❤️😋
What a great history from that wonderful old lady.....wow 85 !!
Love all your videos Mark. You've definitely inspired us to travel to some spots we wouldn't normally think of. Would love to see you tour Egypt!
Thank you for sharing, love this and reminds me why I need to come back to this beautiful country with their delicious food
This is original pad thai, we used tamarind sauce not tomato sauce.
@@sabaidee5587 pud thai saucefrom tamarind not oil
@@sabaidee5587 What are you talking about? Pad Thai uses tamarind juice for its sourness and sweetness, just like lime, lemon, pineapple, tomato, or other fruits in other food recipes. It's just a juice from tamarind, there is no oil in the juice.
Pad Thai has oil when she first fries dried chilly, shallot, garlic, and probably some mixed in other ingredients. She adds water (to soften the noodle) and tamarind juice, the liquid you saw is not oil (but probably has some mixed in there).
Then keep stirring to reduce the water and let the noodle absorb all flavors until they all dry.
@@sabaidee5587
I already did mention "probably some mixed in other ingredients" in my earlier comment. Yeah, I mean oil is typically mixed in other ingredients as well.
Anyway, I really don't care about your taste nor your favorite food. I just clear up the fact that "tamarind juice" is not "tamarind oil".
Because you say "tamarind with oil" that sounds like canned tuna that has tuna in olive oil.
It is just like Ketchup or Tomato sauce/paste used in Pasta / Pizza.
you guys are literaly fighting for some noodles. which I found childish
I am sorry, I think I went too far as well.
My intention was to clear things up, but let's just forget about it this time.
Hey Mark, you're awesome buddy I really enjoy your vlogs.
I’m so happy that you visited the place where me and my family lives!!
Fascinating! Thank you for the history! 🙏🏼
I realized its not the food that makes me crave its how mark describes how the food is made
He is very passionate, for sure!
Is mark gay?
@@melekey ofcourse not
If you watch mark wiens videos you learn so many adjectives to characterize the taste of a food :D
Its still lockdown in Australia i am unable to do my 6 monthly trip to Thailand and im immensely jealous of mark wiens now 😂
This means the world to me, helps me alot while fighting multiple sclerosis @2YRE now i can day dream about places i want to visit and people i want to meet when i'm better.
I had Pad Thai for the first time during my trip to Thailand, but it was so delicious that I ate every day during my trip to Thailand.😄👍💙💙
Love Pad Thai, but I definitely need the heat to cut through it as well. Side note, your son is getting huge. It has been really cool seeing your family grow and travel with you while watching the last several years.
Another amazing video! I love how you honour her skills and achievements.
Aloha Mark! My husband's mom is from Thailand and we want to travel there one day. Your video makes me want to visit this place to experience pad thai here. For now, I will be making my Thai noodles on my wok on my lanai. If anyone has the recipe for this version of pad thai, I would love it!
Pad thai looks amazing, thanks granny..😁😁🙏🙏
That pad thai looks absolutely amazing. And that old lady is so cute. I want to go!!!!!!!
Simply great to watch Mark enjoy his food.
Hi Mr. Mark Wiens, watching from Illinois USA. Pad Thai looks so yummy, my husband favorite food. Wow She is amazing chief. We are always watching your videos and even we went to our favorite Thai restaurant here, they are playing your videos. We learning a lot of different kinds of foods all over the world and I saw one of your video, you have been in my country Philippines and so happy you try our foods.
That's so awesome Mark!! Pad Thai is my #1 favorite dish! I like chicken Pad Thai without tofu. I don't like tofu. If only I was able to reach into the screen and try that woman's cooking, it looks sooooo good!! Thanks for sharing!! I'm really hungry for Pad Thai now!!
Thank you, awesome to hear that Tracy.
Love how I see your channel grow from nothing to something unimaginable. Great success more to come to you and your family.
Just loving the way of your travelling around the world 🌎.... Wonderful..........
I adore the love and respect this man! He loves life, culture, and food. Amigo Keep 😃 smiling.
This is the REAL PAD THAI ❤
The way you smile 😊. I hope to be as happy in my life as this man is in his videos.
The hands of that lady are worth more value to me than any "Food Insider" host's opinion.
Omg this looks amazing! Mark, I also miss your cooking episodes where you show us your take on certain dishes. It would be awesome to see your version of pad Thai dish ❤️
Thank you Kalia. I'm hoping to sometime soon start doing more recipes, possibly on a new recipes only channel.
@@MarkWiens I am a new subscriber. Seeing the world from your eyes is awesome....keep the videos coming....
I’m sorry but that pad Thai look hella nasty. Pad Thai is suppose to be dry stir fried like lo mein not all in juices like that. Eggs should be cooked separately not cracked in then sloshed around.
Casey think I'll trust the 85 y/o Thai lady to be doing an authentic pad Thai over Casey off youtubes opinion
nnniiiaaallllll I’m an 86 year old. Ty
Mark got so excited about the pad thai, he accidentally stepped on the poor dogs tail..lol. Just kidding!😂
I love the way he over explains all the dishes, he's soo enthusiastic about good food, a man after my own heart.
I really do enjoy watching him and his families food explorations. For years now I've traveled through Marks eyes. God bless him, Ying and Micah.
loooks amazingly delicious!I love love love pad thai-I ate it all the time when I was in Thailand!!
Love your channel dude! One of my favorite things on the internet
I love pad Thai, hopefully one day I can come and try hers out
I also thought Pad Thai (and Southeast Asian cuisine in general) was too sweet for my taste, so now I always order it without any sugar, and it still tastes delicious. Lots of my relatives have diabetes, so I think reducing the sugar is also good for my health. I hope I'm not insulting the Thai culture by not putting the sugar.
Actually original Thai Food is not too sweet, but combination of taste instead. Unfortunately, it's quite hard finding the good restaurant with the right taste of Thai food. Almost street food now make it with lots of sugar. Anyway, you can ask the chef to reduce the sugar or salt or oil etc. as you want, but still keeping thye good taste. For Pad Thai, you can make a good taste by yourself by adding vinegar or sugar or fish sauce or chilli. You can do it as Master Chef!
Agreed!!!
This looks amazing 😋
I’m watching this again and again over the years everytime i’m eating my pad thai😂🥰😍 thanks Mark!
All foods if they made above the charcoal are always super yummy. Primitive technology works.
Mark you should try Mien food, salad and kinfin for your show...
Jimmy saechao Heeey my husband is Mienh he’s a saechao too
I wish to try this pad Thai! 😋
Thanks Mark, you always open our eyes! 😘
Because of him I love thai food...
I’ve been to this shop for more than 5 times and I can say that they make the best pad Thai in Thailand for me.
Nice Country, I like that you always smiling and positive. I’m still in love with your trip to Lebanon, and it’s my favourite so far.
I love this guy's energy :)
Mark you have done such an amazing job with you and your family. Traveling places around the world pretty much. The food looks so good and yummy. Every place is so friendly. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
She is a LEGEND. She is so active. Hats off 🙏🙏. I will definitely try when I go to Bangkok.
I eat pad thai almost everyday when i visited Bangkok last year 😁
Every time he takes a bite I anticipate his reaction. 😂😭
