the actual food i have to say that nothing makes me more excited and gives me more energy about food than a chef who is as passionate as friendly and as cool as shots you can tell he just puts 100 of his love into the food he's actually opening right now he's putting the sign up we got here a little bit this is earlier incredibly cool um but again this is i love this shop it's a shop house open-air patio restaurant um and it is street food but he's just elevated it to the next level with that plating the quality of ingredients and just the ultimate knowledge and experience about cooking the different fire the different uh heat levels wow okay i can't wait i'm gonna quickly start with this dish because it's right in front of me which is which is a squid with a ton of garlic and fresh chilies in it and he just deep fried this so it was actually a flashy fry so fast a little bit of flour in here to make it extra crispy yeah okay awesome awesome awesome nice to meet you very nice do you come here do you come here often yeah yeah to this restaurant i have been eating here um up to 10 years so far oh wow awesome ah [Music] very cool oh the pepper the chilies the crispy caramelized garlic the tender squid it's all there on that plate oh that's extraordinary you finish your whole plate of rice already yeah wow you can house the food it's very good that tells you how good the food is next up the dish i have to try this is the gangbang which is this fish curry and again unfortunately you didn't have the crab curry today but that's okay this he said is incredible um he added coconut milk here the curry paste shrimp paste he the whole steak filet of the blamong fish um and then kaffir lime leaves break off these steak slices this has to be on the rice what a perfect dish to break into the rice with and just load it up with more of that curry sauce drench it the balance of flavor from slightly sweet to a little bit spicy that's almost like a penang curry but southern thai style and then just that fresh fish oh that's incredible oh just simple flavorful citrusy bright and poppy the fish just melts in your mouth okay next up for the tom yum which is a seafood yum yum you added in fish you added in shrimp so many shallots there's so much lemongrass and galangal in here it's just loaded and he added in uh we got namkon which is the the milk broth so we added in some some milk in here it's just a balance of flavor just like a curry it's sweet it's sour it's slightly spicy it's so fragrant you can really taste the lemongrass and that balance of galangal and in southern thailand often tomatoes are used in tom yum to give it kind of an umami a balance uh an extra tartness as well in the galangal he really sliced it thin so you can actually eat oh i love to eat the slices of bologna too that's just soothing it's wonderful and the next dish we got is gum which is shrimp but a bunch of minced pork in here and these are huge stink beans look at the size of that massive stink beans uh you smell the shrimp paste you added in onions and he fried this in literally a cloud of smoke look at the size of that stinking that stinking is huge it takes up the whole spoon that might be one of the biggest single stink beans i've ever seen it was so smoky like one second longer in that wok and it would have been burnt he let that just fire roar he let the smoke build up like a cloud and all of that flavor ended up in that sauce in the shrimp in the minced pork and in those crunchy stink beans that's not spicy but it's just so fragrant incredibly aromatic and that umami from the shrimp paste okay and then the last dish actually that we got is fried rice so there's pieces of crab in here there's egg and again he fried it so dry so smoky you can actually smell you can see the smokiness with your eyes get a little bit more of that crab and i gotta immediately add a bit of chilies and fish sauce to this [Music] little bit of chili on there oh squeeze them you have to hit that with a squeeze of lime as well that's part of the reason why kappa blue or or stir fried uh crab fried rice is so good the chilis and the lime juice in addition to the crab of course oh and the nuggets of crab in there again that wok smokiness is what makes it and the dry just individual grains of rice the texture of it the fish sauce and chilis and then the nuggets of crab really every dish is superb every dish cooked with so much passion so much love the squid is absolutely awesome and the way he scored it so that the texture has so many different textures and there is so much garlic in here that squid is mappable and there's so much garlic in there that the entire dish is actually sticky it's sticky from garlic and the peppers you keep on chewing you start your tongue actually tingles a little bit from how much peppers in there and again like food is awesome but when the chef is as cool as him it takes it to the next level that passion and love is a huge part of this restaurant those are some of the smokiest stink beans i've ever had and because you fried it on such a high fire just very lightly very almost just wilted and remain really crisp on the inside i think that squid is actually one of the best dishes it's so incredibly addictive wow it's tasty [Music] and that just wraps up a well-rounded delicious friendly one of the happiest chefs that you will ever meet some of that caramelized garlic ha ha ha ha ha ha english name danny dan okay chef danny chef danny awesome it was a an honor to be here thank you so much very much amazing food laid back it's fun delicious food and just great fantastic experience and so that completes lunch at jacques restaurant by chef danny highly recommended he's so cool he will take care of you uh the only thing i'm disappointed about is that we didn't get to try his crab curry but that's all right that means i'll have to come back to try it next time it's also so cool to see that he's been recognized in the michelin guide um and he's a local favorite and i want to say a big thank you to you for watching this video please remember to give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it leave a comment
