CHIANG RAI, THAILAND – Today we’re traveling to the mountains of Chiang Rai and harvest, cook, and eat garlic chive roots – known in Thai as rak chu (กรากชู) with the Akha people – but before we arrive, we’ll enjoy a dish you can’t leave without trying.

Part 1) THAILAND’S HIDDEN DISHES, with Tourism Authority of Thailand – This is Part 1 of a series of 5 videos where we’re traveling across Thailand to eat 5 hidden dishes to support local communities and highlight their unique food. Today we’re in Chiang Rai (เชียงราย) to eat pork fried with garlic chive roots (หมูผัดรากชู).

Nam Ngiaw Mor Din Pa Aeed (น้ำเงี้ยวหม้อดิน ป้าอี๊ด) – https://maps.app.goo.gl/YJ6crY8nnEDfd5Ss9 – Immediately after landing in Chiang Rai, we got the rental car and drove straight to Nam Ngiaw Mor Din Pa Aeed (น้ำเงี้ยวหม้อดิน ป้าอี๊ด) to eat a bowl of nam ngiaw, a northern Thai dish including noodles and a tomato stew. It was as good as it always is. Something you don’t want to miss when you’re in Chiang Rai.

Pha Hee Coffee (กาแฟผาฮี้) – https://maps.app.goo.gl/gYCvVJ3dSYZA6zhd8 – The main destination was about an hour drive from Chiang Rai into the mountains to meet Pa Luang Aran, the head of the local Akha community. After a quick coffee we continued to harvest garlic chive roots and they made 3 different dishes, pork fried with garlic chive roots (หมูผัดรากชู), chili dip with garlic chives (น้ำพริกรากชู), and laab Akha (ลาบหมูอาข่า). It was an exceptional meal, everything fresh and dedicated to garlic chive roots.

Locus Native Food Lab (https://maps.app.goo.gl/8t4PYEd6CaG7up5Y8) – To complete this northern Thai food tour we went to the best gourmet northern Thai dining experience, led by Chef Kong of Locus Native Food Lab. Along with a full course of dishes, Chef Kong also cooked a dish using his own complete interpretation of garlic chive roots. An absolutely spectacular meal.

Part 1 / 5 Chiang Rai (เชียงราย), Stay tuned for Part 2 – 5.

    This creamy red pepper pasta is Arya’s favorite. She can eat this for every meal. It’s delicious with fresh ingredients and so easy to make.

    Noticed Ying is always happiest in her home country Thailand. Where she can understand the language and customs 100%.

    I don't know about those dried chilies when he says "your lips will burn" with those kinda crazy eyes…I like it when Thai food makes you break out into a sweat while eating, but I'm pretty sure I can't hang with Mr. Wien's here 🔥📛
