NAKHON SI THAMMARAT, THAILAND (นครศรีธรรมราช) - Welcome to southern Thailand, and one of my favorite provinces in all of Thailand - Nakhon Si Thammarat. The food is some of the best and spiciest that you’ll find in Thailand. Because of it’s tropical climate, Southern Thailand is home to many unique and interesting fruits and vegetables. Today, we’re eating nipa palm fruit (จาก jaak in Thai), which looks a lot like an alien spiky ball - or a wrecking ball!
In the Pak Phanang district of Nakhon Si Thammarat, in a wetlands area with mangroves we headed to the community center where they grow and produce products from the nipa palm tree. Along with the fruit, you can tap the sap, to make vinegar, alcohol, or nipa palm sugar. Basically every part of the nipa palm tree is useful somehow. But the fruit is perhaps one of the craziest looking fruits you’ll ever see.
In order to make the curry, you actually use the young nipa palm fruit, and not the jelly seeds, but rather the woody stem of each piece of fruit, sliced thin. It almost reminded me of young jackfruit or bamboo shoots, with an amazing meaty texture and fibrous. The curry was outstanding, so much pepper and spice, and with a delicious local chicken.
We also made khanom jaak (ขนมจาก), which is a very popular Thai sweet snack made with the nipa palm sugar syrup. They used rice flour, egg, and only nipa palm sugar, wrapped in nipa palm leaves and grilled over fire. You’ll find khanom jaak all over Thailand, but this was by far the best version I’ve ever had, mildly sweet, with such an intense fragrance from the syrup and nipa palm leaves.
It was an amazing day in Southern Thailand, learning about unique Thai food of Southern Thailand and the amazing nipa palm fruit!

I just love how common food wrapped in leaves are in southeast asia. I just love all the food wrapped in banana leaves, coconut leaves, pandan leaves, palm leaves, etc. So resourceful. No waste.
No plastic at all
Wrapping food in those leaves give the food distinct aroma.
Many foods in Puerto Rico is wrapped in leaves and for me they taste the best.
@@sudhapuntikura1046 the plastic and trash come from our western countries
Yeah..same here in the philippines we are also using coco leaf and a banana leaf
I have never seen anything like them, the world is truly an amazing place.
NO, YOU ARE AMAZING
@@vilashbiswas7168 All life in its different forms are amazing.
there’s a lot of those stuff in the Philippines, didnt know people eat them.
In India at Bengal it call golpata
Still science want to stay in Another planet like mars 🤣
His smile is so contagious and the way he's so passionate is adorable
I am amazed this is unbelievable. I come from an island but we avoid this Nipa palm trees. We don't even know its edible. Thank you for educating me
wow really? in my country we use it the same way like how they use it too..
Man, this guy always have positive aura. Giving excitement to viewers
Nothing is better than down home authentic cooking. Everything is fresh off the garden.

I never have seen this fruit before,I'm really suprised that it wasn't on food network on bizarre foods or any of the other food shows
And there is so much more we havent seen yet
I just crack it up with a knife, the fruit is dewy, not too sweet, i love this fruit..but i am amazed they processed that as syrup..now i want to cook that dessert myselft..going to nag my uncle to get fresh sap for me.😁
@@noneofyourbuizness You are doo doo
Hey I lost my nose
Never thought u can do anything abt the fruit, except the flesh (nit even a spoonful). Nectar frm the fruit stem is what our locals collects , bloody nice juice.(fresh that is) . keep it after few days 》 vinegar 》 potent moonshine 🤣🤭
God bless our elders all over the world from all communities.
Thnxs to all. May the Almighty Allah bless us all
I need the nipa vinegar for take taste. Can u pls carry one for me in Bangladesh Dhaka?

I have never seen such a plant in my life... so I wanted to learn more about it. I went to the wikipedia page for it and without recapping the whole page this is truly an amazing plant capable of providing food and carbon neutral fuel in the most marginal of environments. Wow! thank you for sharing.
I would like to eat with you one day sir. Please check out on my channel too.
Interesting. I'm Filipino and we build houses out of nipa palm, but never have I thought the fruit would be edible. That or being in a region where we eat spicy food everyday, we didn't necessarily need to eat the nipa palm. It's as much a revelation to me as when I realized we can eat coconut shoots like bamboo shoots!
We collect the young as buko and make a jam or candy in Surigao.
pre kinakain din ang bunga ng nipa sa pinas pag binuksan mo me puti yun na prang mukhang candy na hall per flat alam mo yung kaong diba ayun madalas sa salad natin yun. ginagamit din yung parang tuba.. yung sap pag tinabas yung fruit cocolectahin mo yung sap madalas gamit ng bamboo madami kasi a probisya namin lalo na sa panglao. tas pre ginagawa din sugar yan.
What does it taste like?
In Philippines thats what they called Macapuno.... from Nipa Tree.. or palm Tree.
I know ! We missed out on a lot of food sources tho it is all around us in bountiful amounts . I believe it is because we are separated from the Asian continent , we " didn't get the word". Raised in a rural area , my mother continously pregnant , my father unendingly gambling , HUNGER is a constant presence . Looking back , with knowledge of other food cultures , my grief and fury at how needless it all were. My parents and neighbors' ignorance, laziness , lack of initiative , lack of love for the children ( physically , verbally abusive ), lack of curiosity, lack of adventure --reasons I attribute to slow progress . We had such fertile soil yet everybody in our barrio had NO GARDEN ! As children we didn't know better. Dishes cooked are caveman style - boil water, salt it , drop the fish - done! Yet lemongrass , ginger , tamarind etc abounds . Nipa were all around, only used for roofing. Coconuts all around.
I'm still amazed I've come a long way.
I know an elderly couple who came to USA . We cooked our favorite dishes. Bought a coconut , manong did not know how to break it , manang poured a lot of water to a stir fry dish, para meron tayong sabaw. So we will have soup, she said .
Maybe we've learned to do better culinary wise but my relatives still snob curry , chilis
and they pour condensed milk unto spaghetti. Pizza dough is full of sugar.
Amazing how the human intellect develops food when discovered, grown and cooked for consumption over the centuries.

Hi justseb

czcams.com/video/glrdC8Ktc_It/video.html
I never saw Mark ever complain about about any food, regardless of what they taste like, he always adores eating all the food
that the issue, if the food is not nice ,he doesnt say it
@@sdqsdq6274 @
Oh so u didnt notice how he doesnt like the food. Watch more, youll find it.
Iv only ever seen a few times he didn't like it. You can tell by his face
Its a good food video. Only good food, i think
After watching Mark smile for 25 minutes, I realize my own cheeks hurt.
He was born smiling.
😂
Lol.. me too
@Smokey McBongwater come back in a few years and read your profile name, then tell us all again whats “pathetic”.
@EL_ Mengz 0l lo 9⁹
I am from India, but from watching Mark's videos I have become an expert in Thai cuisine.
This guy's face is always positive and warm
Ofc it is, he has Thai blood ;)
He always looks super excited
I saw his video he made in mexico and subscribed
Hahaha.... Girl yes...
i hate his face
almost fake
I'm always like "Hey Micah! Hey Ying!" I love this family...💜 Can you believe Micah's growing up so fast?
Mark's eyes brightening with joy, excitement and are fill with what comes next! I love this guy 🙏🏻
Another educational video without making anyone feel bored! You present all the traditions and cultural menu options perfectly. Your smile is so predictable because the meals are always delicious
Can we please appreciate how neatly uncle dressed for this?
hahahah yeah XD
Why? Maybe he dresses like this every day. Everyone else is dressed, why not uncle?
Not to mention his his straight back and get it done demeanor !
@@bernadettebailey5370 Yep I agree.

Mark, this is possibly the most fascinating video you've ever done! It truly is top notch, delivering something no one in the west experiences unless they come to Thailand themselves. I'm a big fan of Thai Curry, especially Massamun, but this napa pine fruit, the harvesting and cultural knowledge of growing it, all of it added up just makes it so entertaining. I truly appreciate your work on this video. Cheers!
Your approach is soo positive and heartwarming that keeps your viewers attached from start to end. And its easy to say almost nobody wants to skip any single minute. Love this kind of informative vlog you making. Keep it going.
Love from Bangladesh.
Lovely to see our elders helping and sharing their knowledge with the young. I miss this village life so much.
the nipah palm is very commonly found in the tropical swamps not only in southern Thailand but also Malaysia, mekong delta in vietnam, the carribean and central america. its seeds containing the jelly-like texture are edible and thus suitable in making desserts including ais kacang in Malaysia. however, the fruit must be in the middle age as the seeds get harder as they age. the roof made from durable leaves is called attap. the sap is also used to make a non-alcoholic drink called 'air nira' in Malaysia as well as toddy, the palm wine. i have never seen a very young nipah fruit used in making curries as in this video and thus it is very unique! the toy made from weaved young leaves given to Micah reminds me of the leaf weaving crafts done by the Mah Meri tribes at Carey Island in Malaysia, belonging to the aboriginal Senoi group. Of course, the syrup tastes a bit salty since it is grown close to the river estuary.
Wow thank you
Thank you for this very interesting comment! So is this palm found in Africa, as well?
Yeah dude you just copied it on the internet 😁
@@connielikens3415think so like nigeria
it also exists in Indonesia, especially in Borneo. The leaves of the nipah tree are usually used to make roofs
I am loving this video, so informative. Mark makes sure his viewers know what foods to try when visiting other places. Not overly expensive foods but are super yummy foods from different parts of Thailand
I'd never thought there is so many ways that nipa palm can do, we used to eat only the fruit inside of the brown little things and used the leaves as a hut and broom but i never thought we can make curry on it wow its so amazing. Feels like it brings my childhood memories back
It’s because of Mark Wiens that I have learnt a lot about different cultures and their foods. This guy is full of knowledge and positivity and it always makes my day when I see his beautiful smile and his humble nature. To have a friend like him would be a privilege ☺️
6:35 fruits, vegetables, plants and trees are never ending possibilities of learning around the world! I love this phrase so much! It is our life lesson I believe😍✨✨
You know its a tropical country when you see the coconut scrapers.
The spiky fruit is SO beautiful. A work of art.
I ate a nipa fruit, when I was kid I always went to the nature and I enjoyed explore the nipa palm trees.
for me this really reminds me with my childhood and how beautiful it is.
Mark, you are so blessed to eat all that organic fresh foods. I love your show too.
I would like to eat with you one day sir. Please check out on my channel too.
Awesome looking field. Satisfying sound when he was cutting the leaves from the stalk
Yes bro it was satisfying and the fruit arw really big
I wonder why that was satisfying to hear. I replayed it a few times

I love the way you talk Mark... Especially, when you smile...
so you must marry him now 😆😆😆🐥😁😍
@@kylezeroine_fyi yess she is thirsty ahahahh
I am so glad that you visit my home town. I really miss all of foods and desserts. It is not easy to fly to Thailand during the coronavirus pandemic.
I like this fruit, makes me remember my childhood going to the rice field and riverside to pick this fruit..
This is a new one for me .
Really new😍😍
Old things new too us though oh well
@@1tothe99 😍😍😍😍😊
Yess
People are not used to happiness anymore, so they criticize someone for smiling all the time..., sad😌
@Kanching Konthai Thailand is awesome!!!!!
smilling is the only free in the world...so i always buy as many as i could at zero cost😆😁 i dont care about the world might say...as long as IM happy doing it....I NEVER STOP😁 JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE... Philippines is also the LAND OF SMILE, LAUGHTER AND HAPPINESS. just like Thailand so i love thailand very much 😁😁😁 pimpichaya acharporn plumjit they are volley ball players of thailand right we are close to thailand 😍 thats why i know them 😁😆 what im trying to say thailand and philippines are somehow on the same boat speaking of culture...😁
@@kylezeroine_fyi Good to know in case I ever get a chance to travel to there.
Yeah never seen a person like that i thought it was just for the camera
I was born in this province and my grandparents were from in Pakpanang these plants remind me a lot about my childhood
Mark the mature fruit inside the nipa fruit is the one you called "white jelly bean" that you ate in the Amazing Snake salad episode. I like the ethnicity of this channel, so much to learn and so much yet to be seen.
What a beautiful place. I love the fact that everyone does their part. Awesome culture. The food looked so delish! Thank you Mark, Ying, and Micah!❤
Sawadee ka 🙏 Who loves Thailand here 🙋🏻♀️
Me too
I love Thailand, my parents country...I just dont like those evil and tiny mosquitoes 😤!
Mmmeeeeeeeee 😁
welcome to thailand krab
Meeeeeeee!!! I want to become a monk there 😌
The work this man puts into his videos for all of us to enjoy is pretty crazy.
Mark Weins is a youtuber whose Channel is not only to showcase different kinds of food but also educating us what are other Edible fruits and vegetables which never in our entire school life ever thought to us. Thanks to Mark Weins....a youtuber who loves to eat and loves food that you never saw him commenting or disliking a dish, he appreciates and respect food. My family love watching your videos.
Keep it going Mark! Love how you changed your content to also showing WHERE the food is coming from.
Me too..he is amazing 😍😍
Aye I’ve never seen that in my life ! Thanks for showing me !
Mark has an old soul. Humanity at its best.
Mark, you are like an enthusiastic kid playing with that Nipa fruit!
So much fun to watch you!
How can mark never puts on weight with all the food he's been eating all these years
its not superprocessed, all natural and good genes.
because his motto is "mai phed, mai kin" haha

Oh wow.. i appreciate how you travel and promote the culture of a certain region but what impressed me most is the respect you give to the people and their culture. God Bless you and may He keep you safe wherever you go...Love all the way from Canada
He is amazing 😍
trái dừa nước mà có thể nấu ăn như thế, lần đầu mới nhìn thấy luôn 💚👍
Phải chi ĐBSCL cũng tận dụng được loại cây này, khai thác từ nó như người Thái thì mình lại có thêm 1 đặc sản in dấu tuổi thơ rồi!!!
@@angminhkha8993 mình cũng không hiểu sao bà con mình không lấy đường từ cây dừa nước, những năm bao cấp đói khác có cục đường ăn là quý lắm 😁
@ vn có đường thốt nốt đó thôi. Chứ dừa nước khó lấy mật hơn thốt nốt nhiều, do nước lên nước xuống. Thời bao cấp thiếu thốn do nhà nước ngăn sông cấm chợ, k sản xuất, giao thương được. Mình người nam, ngày nhỏ vẫn ăn đường thẻ, đường thốt nốt. Bây giờ bắt đầu quay lại với các loại đường truyền thống thay vì đường trắng tinh luyện đây.

Nice decoration on letters
The old guy is very smooth with that Machette
great food video
Thank you!
Just imagine how hungry someone had to be to see the spiky volleyball and say LET ME COOK AND EAT THIS.
Imagine having to survive
I think about that sort of thing from every once in a while: who found out which berries & mushrooms are edible? Or that coconut contained food?
@@XOXCGEANE me too 🤭👍🏾
Marks smile alone could bring world piece. Mark so glad you are able to get back to what you do best.
Thank you for showing us the rich culture from around the world 😃🙌
I love how he smiles all the time. his smile is contagious
He just be looking happy to be there I love his energy😭😭😭
No wonder "uncle" is physically fit. Hitting that Alien fruit 50 times a day will do it ... 😅

Ioo
Haaahaaahaaa, alien fruit, that had me laughing!!

How satisfy of the leaves taking off😭❣️
Hello Mark, that looks like a Medieval weapon. I am loving your video.
Hey Mark you should make a t-shirt that says "oh wow" they would fly off the shelves!
Lol honestly
Love that idea!
@Mike Jones tilted to the side with his eyes rolling
His eyes as the o’s LOL
À
When he started chopping off the leaves…that was so satisfying
SEA countries can learn a lot from this. In our province, there are lots of nipa trees but the only part commonly used is leaves for roof. I never knew that the fruit is edible and we can make vinegar and sugar from its sap. Thanks for featuring this particular Nipa Palm Tree.
Im always an avid fan of yours.
from PH
The sweet snack looks just like a delicacy in Pangasinan, Philippines. It's called "tupig". Almost the same ingredients and process of cooking too.
I never knew you can eat those spiky things, usually in our town it is just used as decoration when there are fiestas. Amazing and informative video as always. Thanks for sharing :)
I'm learning something new tonight.

Mark Weins looks very slim ! You are back n im following you again like the country, primitive way of cooking. Im 61 yrs originally fr Phils. these type of food never seen, eaten before. Very different and unique foodies.
Thanks for showing that's Thailand have more famous and interesting country😊😊
Nice, it's remind me of my childhood in Myanmar, we used to eat alot of them
Mark you are so blessed to discover so many new things to eat with wonderful locals cooking and teaching us. Thanks
I would like to eat with you one day sir. Please check out on my channel too.
I am among numerous followers who are amazed at Micah’s growth. It’s so easy to remember him as an infant in arms.
I love the way Mark just loves good food 👌🏻He could be eating a Big Mac and he would just appreciate and enjoy the fact he’s eating some tasty food (of course what he does eat is much more interesting)
23:17 THAT is onother reason to love Mark Weins even more❤❤❤
Always such a great pleasure to be able to travel with you! I love your journeys! Thank so much!

This is so cool!! I love learning about new and different food. Wish i was there to try it...
soo wonderful i am from PHILIPPINES i went in Thailand i saw this if i amn not wrong Thai food really yummyumm thank you so much keep safe everyone small youtuber here
wow such an amazing dish. Thailand is full of surprises when it comes to food. :)
Welcome to Thailand love love ❤️ 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Mark good to know that you featured this type of food (natively known), that found only in some remote areas like this and i'm grateful what you have featured.
With this, i am highly recommended to go to our place in the Philippines particularly in Mindanao, Agusan Del Norte (Butuan City). Where you can feature some of our delicacies. We also have Sago trees that plenty of snack food could be made. And a lot more.
I would like to eat with you one day sir. Please check out on my channel too.
We call it "Gol" tree in Bangladesh. There's a kind of honey comes from that fruit as well. Natives use the leaf to build houses.
Speechless about God might generosity giving sustenance to his creation ❤️❤️
The snack that you’re eating called “Tupig” here in the Philippines. It is also a delicacy here
yup its really tupig but slightly diff ingredients.
I was gonna say the same thing,
That that sticky snack is literally tupig.
Last time ako bumili ng Tupig jan sa Alcala Pangasinan, hindi na Tupig, OnePig nalang. dahil sa sobrang nipis na... :(

We need the good "nipa palm fruit slices in the bag", along with this recipe in the US, I want to cook this dish.
You're always so happy grateful and thankful for your food as we all should be!
Wow, that is really good Mark! I hope to review that kind of foods too...
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. We cant wait to see you soon in Morocco. Much Love From Morocco ❤❤❤
I love Morocco. One of my best trip ever.
@@lukedavidson8055 welcome anytime
Thank you for exposing me to this fruit that I had no idea existed. Both the candy and the curry looks so good!
I wanna try cooking this...interesting...we never make this one a dish before...just vinegar from Nipa palm tree...thanks for sharing this one!

Over a million views on this one. Mark's channel is booming. Great work guys, love your videos.
Very fascinating, just beautiful ! Thanks for always sharing Mark.
Wow with all those dishes you have been showing us, I could eat a different meal every day and always have appetite the next day and never get tired of eating.........well you get what I'm saying.a 1000 thanks Mark.😎👍👍
5000 like for him 😍😍😍
Arroyy Mak!
I never tried that but I always eat the flesh of ripe nypa palm fruit...the taste like lychee but so juicy & little bit sweets..
I just came across your channel. You energy is amazingly contagious. I’m now subscribed. Stay safe and healthy. 😻
Amazing lesson, thank you so much. I used to get this sweet covered with leaves in alms round often but didn't know how it is made of. I like the nypa palm juice and sugar made from it thinking it is 100% organic.
