    Thanks for the culinary diversion but, personally, I'd take the street food any day. For what you paid that evening, you could probably eat for a month on the street. Absolutely love your channels!

    "Check out the #1 restaurant in Asia, baby!" said Chris and then added after turning off the camera: "Ok Haley, now let's go and have a proper meal"
    Jokes aside, i love your your channel, Chris. Keep it up.

    This reminds me of a cool spot I was in Bangkok at the roof top restaurant with awesome view called the Dome at Lebua. Where they film the Hangover 2. It cost $600.00 USD for two people. Worth it for the experience not worth it for the food. 😅

    Chris Come visit San Francisco, $125 is a bill for an average restaurant, ok for 3 people. A large Pizza will cost you $45 US. Dinner out at an average Thai restaurant will set you back $80 and you have to give a 20% tip on top, you will come out disgusted with what you got.
    So $125 for La Du is a darn good deal
