In the scorching heat of Hat Yai, Thailand, the Chopstick Travel team embarks on a culinary adventure starting at a legendary Bakut restaurant near the Malaysian border. This eatery boasts a premium version of Bakut with abalone, offering a flavorful herbal broth packed with garlic, anise, and cinnamon. The team dives into the tender pork ribs cooked for hours in clay pots, savoring the complex flavors and unique twist of Bakut with abalone. The experience is elevated by soaking rice in the rich broth, a true testament to the fusion of Chinese, Thai, and Malay influences in Hat Yai's cuisine scene.
Next, the team explores a popular dessert stall, indulging in a refreshing red bean and jobs tears dessert with coconut milk, perfect for cooling down in the sweltering April heat. The fast-paced preparation under a banyan tree showcases the locals' love for this unique treat. Moving on to Mina's Fried Chicken, the team discovers the epitome of juicy, crispy fried chicken topped with fried shallots on aromatic biryani rice. This Malay-influenced dish, paired with pickled cucumbers and sweet chili sauce, proves that Hat Yai's fried chicken scene rivals the best in the world.
Despite the intense heat and humidity, the team immerses themselves in the vibrant flavors of Hat Yai, declaring the Thai-style fried chicken a true contender for the fried chicken crown. Mina's Fried Chicken stands out as a must-visit spot in the bustling Kimyong Market, offering a sensory explosion with each bite. As they reminisce about Mink's childhood love for fried chicken and brave the scorching temperatures, the team's culinary journey through Hat Yai showcases the city's rich food culture and the unwavering passion of its local vendors.
