$100 Thai Street Food Challenge in Bangkok!! Expensive Bird Nest Soup!!

in this video i will attempt to spend 100 on street food here in bangkok thailand right now i'm in bangkok's famous chinatown the chinese food they have here is a fusion of chinese food and thai food so you're going to find unique food here that you won't find anywhere else in the world even in actual china in my last couple attempts to spend 100 on street food i failed miserably but today no matter what it takes i am going to spend 100 on street food even if i have to get my stomach pumped halfway through we've come to our first location right here where they're serving something called have you ever been in bangkok and someone offered to take you to a pong pong show i'm pretty sure this is what they meant anyways pong pong is a delicious dessert and what's amazing about it is it uses this bread it looks very mediocre cheap nothing special like how could this be part of a great dessert we've got the bread right here it looks like there's already some butter inside she just simply puts it over fire they're going to stuff that bread with a number of fillings right here you can stuff it with chili but then you can also stuff it with a green custard pandan once the bread has been toasted it's going to be thrown inside of a paper bag but not before being loaded up with custard this is the pandan custard right here and then this should be the chili filling it looks like chili oil boom and that one is also ready to go [Music] oh not recommended really salty it tastes like something that you would find in a hot pot rather than in a bun it tastes just like gochujang a korean chili face not my favorite texture is nice so wait is there a foreigner in the shop people are gonna think that there's like other people here who come here on planes they fly here they do tours i don't know what people think that this is my asian fantasy okay oh god there's some more coming they're everywhere wait wait this one right here pandan custard super yummy it is like the chinese or thai equivalent of a jelly filled donut back home this is like picnic bread but when they toast it just right and then they put the pandan in there i mean it is creamy it's sweet and there's a lot of pandan flavor it's a very unique flavor that is hard to explain it's like a little grassy no burby it tastes like a botanical garden a very slow start for the day we gotta get going [Music] our next restaurant here this is a noodle soup something a little bit more substantial this is a michelin rated restaurant 2019 2020 2021 somehow even though everybody was at home with the pandemic they were still out here slaying noodles i guess so here it starts we have the rolled noodles we've got pork belly we've got pork liver and other internal organs look at all these organs just bins and bins of different organs just like a serial killer's house i ordered an egg extra and now that famous pepper broth going inside that looks delectable and it smells even [Music] mmm better delicious it tastes like a very deep bone broth very peppery on the side in case that's not enough for you there's like chili powder or is it sugar or msg or salt or meth it's one of those four probably meth that's why everyone's so thin here that is a good bite roll noodles pork belly broth end of story the skin keeps its texture remarkably very crunchy the meat still has a nice bite to it i'm trying to figure out these noodles because they're pretty soft especially compared to a crunchy pork skin they soak up a lot of broth but still very satisfying and it's a cool shape right here we've got some organs pancreas the endoplasmic reticulum there's some cartilage but so stop cut that egg in half and get the ultimate bite going oh some meat noodle and egg delicious the only problem is this is so affordable it is roughly three dollars i'm gonna have to change the game up i love all the meaty bits they put in here it's all the greatest hits from that pig [Applause] things are heating up as the day progresses here a very famous raw seafood stall right on the sidewalk and they have so many different options to choose from from chilead raw mussels over here then over here we have the mantis shrimp those are the shrimp that will punch a hole through your finger this is the owner over here hello santikov very sweet lady we were here about four years ago and she still remembers me i wonder why what did she say you're a handsome guy okay can i have two of these black crabs two blue crabs 1080 baht that's already 30 dollars what's going on these are those beautiful raw shrimpies she puts her signature sauce on top those are the chili mussels they look super spicy we have three courses of seafood right here on the sidewalk this is the shrimp it is pickled they put garlic on top chilies [Music] i love that flavor it's almost a little bit fatty inside it's a very different texture eating it raw especially big plump ones like this it's veiny it's girthy seafood number two these are the mussels i think it's red because of chili powder and chilies themselves i'm told you're supposed to mix it with ginger and lemongrass so that's what i'm doing here that is a unique smell and flavor [Music] that is so so sour it's fascinating it's almost like the ginger and lemongrass are there to counteract the sourness there's too much to bear brining salty super super strong flavors and the surprising part not spicy at all i don't even know why the chilies are in there maybe just a little cool and red of course number three two types of crab i was told don't eat it with just the fish sauce that's inside of there add the seafood sauce which is what i got right here oh gosh there's so many spices it's gonna murder me spicy the orange part you might have figured it out already that is the crab row you're supposed to have a wide variety of colors in your diets maybe bright orange is one of them the slime factor is on fleek are people saying that to them they aren't no they're not okay the eggs are just briny and weird that's the only way i can categorize it the flavors are outstanding because the thai seafood sauce is one of the best sauces in the world citrusy spicy a little bit sour here all you can really do with all these body parts is suck on it and squeeze out the meat look at that little claw muscle it's goopy whatever i'm sucking out seems to be working pretty well for me i'm enjoying this it is very addictive i'll becoming a good pro number one sucker [Music] seafood eater dang it editor don't use that that is a blue crab my guess is that it's going to taste very similar give it a little bit of a suck [Music] that is a hip joint the crab has so many hips imagine if it needed a hip replacement oh yeah i would say the blue meat a little bit more dense not as soft certainly no eggs in there i love them both i've had it before with all the salad and stuff forget it give me the meat give me the sauce and let me suck away that is awesome we spent some serious money and we are on our way to 100 let's check out the money meter right now boom over 40 dollars almost halfway there let's keep eating right here a seafood cart with all kinds of grilled goodies some unique foods that you won't find at any seafood carts i don't know i've not been around a lot of seafood carts i like this one though here squid that's obvious but this this is the squid teeth that is what helps control the beak the beak is what's located right there in that area these are some tiny octopuses these are some bigger octopuses that is from the planet zargon and then these are eggs oh i know what you're thinking fish roe who cares that's cute no these are squid eggs when they dissect the squid they rip it open that egg sack is in there i'm gonna try it now mix a sweet plum sauce and then a seafood sauce [Applause] same sauce combination sweet plum sweet seafood [Music] kind of tastes like how an aquarium smells it does feel like the seafood has been hanging out for a while doing its thing in the sun which is not ideal it's got a little fun to it i like the sauce a lot i like how it looks more than anything but the way it tastes the texture it's just okay squid eggs this is deceiving because it looks like a little bread bun [Music] wow so the outside is actually quite leathery inside very soft and there's some strange squiddy taste in there i don't know i have a love hate relationship with this i can't decide the whole thing so not bad that's a pretty good bite if you gave that to someone they would never guess that they're eating just a squid egg sack it's one of those foods if somebody tells you what it is you start over analyzing it as you're eating it and you get in your head a little bit you need to get less in your head and get this more in your stomach the food train continues to plug along we are not at a hundred dollars yet we are not at half of that yet but still we must move forward our next wood this is fisherman soup the fish maw is the air bladder inside of the fish you know like if you go scuba diving you have an air bladder that helps control your height in the water that's what that does for a fish i assume i did no research but that's what would make sense to me here is the fish ma master you can see tons and tons of chunks of the maw inside the air bladder for some reason is this really prized part of the fish it gets taken out it gets dried it gets rehydrated it gets put in a soup like this oh and then they're putting in some noodles then they're putting in the chicken quail egg and then some crab on top that looks awesome check it out first of all there's a viscous probably corn starchy broth in there look at these noodles just soaking up that sauce that's a yummy flavor it's some kind of a soy based sauce all that is very pleasant but i am here for the ma oh here it is it's such a weird spongy shape after they do what they do to it [Music] oh it's very hot i get why people like it but the texture there's no texture like it the closest thing would be some kind of like a fried and stewed tofu it's spongy it's absorbed all that savory broth the broth is savory nothing better than being in bangkok when it's 90 degrees but it feels like 110 eating soup so hot is burning the inside of your mouth off i wish i was in like russia in winter time right now around a campfire just weather-wise weather-wise here is the deal i am 10 foods in right now but i spent only about 51 dollars i'm a long ways away so i'm throwing an audible behind me a bird nest restaurant bird nest it's a very lavish ingredient why wouldn't it be it's made out of bird spit bird nests right here so it is in these small containers i'm gonna get two different kinds this is a very clear looking one she's gonna rinse it with this hot water now that first one is factory made i'm told the second one is natural they say that's why it's brown a little bit of a sugary syrup being put inside right here we have our final meal of the day i thought at first when people ate bird nests they were eating like sticks and stuff well it turns out sparrows make a nest from saliva it's kind of bumpy and clumpy and that's because they create strands of saliva which in turn create a structure for their nest to exist it's very jelly like the nest has virtually no flavor a little sweet from the sugar of course and it is like an overcooked glass noodle the only part that's weird is if you think about the fact that you're eating bird spits but try not to think of it that way try to think of it like you're eating some other kind of spit that you enjoy more these are made in a factory it means they have buildings out in the countryside where they're playing bird calls and then they hope that the birds will populate the building with tons of nests that is the factory version now this one i've never seen before this is the natural one so this is something that would be found in caves or on cliffs wow this is a bizarre experience it's a different texture some bits are more chewy than in the clear version it tastes like there's little tiny traces of some impure cheese i couldn't tell you what that is exactly part of me wants to say it tastes almost woody what am i just making that up because birds live in trees so that is bird nest a very popular item here in chinatown all the buildings are advertising bird nest and shark fin and i didn't want to get canceled this time so i'm going to get shark fin next time that is 12 foods in a row fantastic amazing did we get over 100
