Hey everyone, this is Mark Wiens with Eating Thai Food dot com. Today I'm at one of the
ultimate vegetarian food courts in Bangkok, it's called Baan Suan Pai, also known as Banana
Family Park. Of course, if you're vegetarian or vegan you're going to absolutely love this
place, but the food is so good here, you'll want to eat here even if you're a carnivore.
To get to Baan Suan Pai take the BTS to Ari station, take exit number one and go down
the stairs to your left, walk along Phahon Yothin road for about one hundred meters until
you reach a sign that says welcome to banana family park. Turn right into the small cafe
alley way, walk all the way to the back past a few coffee shops and a few stores until
you can smell the delicious vegetarian food.
It's like a food court style, so you order your food here and then you go sit at a table.
As you can see, I went a little crazy, but the food all looked so good that you can easily
accumulate a bunch of different things. I'm going to go through the food right now and
show you exactly what I ordered.
I got a dish, it's a curry made with pumpkin.
Bitterness is an excellent flavor but it does take a little getting used to. Ohh, I love
that.
This is called puak tod, and this is taro ground up and then it's fried on the outside
into a loaf. Add some of this sauce.
Got a quick dish here called kuay teow lui suan, it's like a noodle wrapper filled with
lettuce, some herbs, I think there's some tofu and mushrooms in that. It's very fresh,
the sweet and sour and spicy sauce is fantastic.
This is probably my favorite thing at this whole restaurant, these beautiful skewers
of steak. No they're not steak actually, they are mushrooms.
I just wanted to mention the vegetarian Thai food guide. It's an eighty page ebook stuffed
with useful information and tips about how you can order and eat tastiest vegetarian
and vegan food that Thailand has to offer.
If you're vegetarian, if you're vegan, or even if you just want to start eating healthy
delicious Thai food, make sure you get your own copy of the vegetarian Thai food guide,
so you can take advantage of this awesome food, it's just incredible.
Anyways, as you can see, I still have a bunch of food left on the table, I'm about to dig
in and finish it all.
I finished off all of the food except for this last bite which is the last remaining
piece of het hom ping, the absolute sirloin kobe beef of all mushrooms and it's fully
vegetarian. It just melts in your mouth, it's juicy, it's tender, that will put a smile
on your face any day.
Thanks for watching this video, when you're in Thailand make sure you eat and sample all
kinds of delicious Thai vegetarian food and don't forget to check out the vegetarian Thai
food guide!
