The Alien Spiky Ball is actually a Nipa Palm Fruit! 🎥 Giang Goose Egg Omelet: https://youtu.be/K82BcH2Bqdg 📌 ไร่จันทรังษี (https://goo.gl/maps/Zt1nFGtEjRTWJvHF8, Phone: 0857845321) NAKHON SI THAMMARAT, THAILAND (นครศรีธรรมราช) - Welcome to southern Thailand, and one of my favorite provinces in all of Thailand - Nakhon Si Thammarat. The food is some of the best and spiciest that you’ll find in Thailand. Because of it’s tropical climate, Southern Thailand is home to many unique and interesting fruits and vegetables. Today, we’re eating nipa palm fruit (จาก jaak in Thai), which looks a lot like an alien spiky ball - or a wrecking ball! In the Pak Phanang district of Nakhon Si Thammarat, in a wetlands area with mangroves we headed to the community center where they grow and produce products from the nipa palm tree. Along with the fruit, you can tap the sap, to make vinegar, alcohol, or nipa palm sugar. Basically every part of the nipa palm tree is useful somehow. But the fruit is perhaps one of the craziest looking fruits you’ll ever see. In order to make the curry, you actually use the young nipa palm fruit, and not the jelly seeds, but rather the woody stem of each piece of fruit, sliced thin. It almost reminded me of young jackfruit or bamboo shoots, with an amazing meaty texture and fibrous. The curry was outstanding, so much pepper and spice, and with a delicious local chicken. We also made khanom jaak (ขนมจาก), which is a very popular Thai sweet snack made with the nipa palm sugar syrup. They used rice flour, egg, and only nipa palm sugar, wrapped in nipa palm leaves and grilled over fire. You’ll find khanom jaak all over Thailand, but this was by far the best version I’ve ever had, mildly sweet, with such an intense fragrance from the syrup and nipa palm leaves. It was an amazing day in Southern Thailand, learning about unique Thai food of Southern Thailand and the amazing nipa palm fruit! 🎵MUSIC: https://goo.gl/HwVjdo —————————————————— 🍌100% Real Durian Chips - Order Here: http://pixelfy.me/uY4K5z 👕Get t-shirts and caps: https://migrationology.com/store/ —————————————————— 📱FOLLOW: Instagram: https://instagram.com/migrationology Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/migrationology
