00:00Noodles are a staple in Thailand.
00:02There's various varieties for you to try to explore,
00:05but one that you cannot miss out on
00:07and you have to try when you come to Thailand
00:09is boat noodles.
00:10These noodles originated when Thais
00:12mostly traveled along canals with their boats
00:15and the vendors would sell noodles
00:17directly from their boats, hence the name boat noodle.
00:20So what makes them so special?
00:22First, the portion size.
00:23Boat noodles are served in small bowls,
00:25making them much cheaper than regular sized portions.
00:29Don't be surprised if you end up ordering
00:31four or five servings in one sitting.
00:33Second, the broth.
00:35It's made with pig's blood mixed with salt,
00:37which might sound intimidating, but trust me,
00:40you won't taste or smell the blood.
00:42It just adds a rich, savory depth to the flavor.
00:45But here's a pro tip.
00:46Don't leave without trying khanom tuay,
00:48which is steamed coconut and pandan dessert.
00:51I mean, after you have something that savory,
00:54you have to end it and end that meal
00:56with something sweet, right?
