Pattaya, Thailand is a famous tourist destination that attracts tourists from all over the world to visit every year. Experiencing delicious food is the highlight of a trip to Pattaya. Eating in Pattaya has become a wonderful experience due to the restaurants and street food stalls scattered throughout the streets. This episode will explore some unmissable local cuisine, taking you to experience authentic Thai flavors.

Winter Yin Gong, Thai Hot and sour soup. Whether it's breakfast or preparing for lunch or dinner, Dongyingong soup is a traditional Thai soup worth trying. This is a Hot and sour soup boiled with shrimp. It is made of broth containing a lot of local herbs and spices. Fish sauce, crushed pepper, lime juice, lemon grass and lime leaves are also added, so the soup has a very strong flavor. In Pattaya, you may find different versions of soups made from shrimp, chicken, beef, or pork. Dongyin Gong is widely seen in Pattaya and Thailand, making it a representative food in Thailand and has become even more popular worldwide in recent years.

Coconut juice chicken soup is a famous soup in Pattaya, with a history of hundreds of years. Unlike Dongyin Gong, coconut milk chicken soup has a more fragrant and sweet taste. The rich coconut milk is mixed with red chili peppers, as well as chopped scallions, lemon grass, and tender chicken strips, neutralizing the spicy taste of pepper and ginger. Coconut juice chicken soup is sold at many street vendors in Pattaya and Thailand.

Lemongrass salt skin grilled fish is a very popular and delicious dish that involves stuffing a bundle of lemon grass sticks deep into the mouth of a tilapia and gently grilling it at the Pattaya market, especially when the fish appears a faint white color. The white color comes from the thick salt skin, which helps to maintain the juicy texture of the meat, while lemon grass injects a fruity and sour taste into the entire fish. Paired with garlic, chili, and seafood dipped in sauce, it is a popular dinner.

The last thing I have to mention is mango glutinous rice. This is a traditional Thai dessert made from glutinous rice, fresh mango, and coconut milk. The production process is very simple——Mango slices and a portion of glutinous rice are coated with a thick layer of coconut paste, with a subtle amount of salt. The fresher the ingredients, the stronger the taste. Mango glutinous rice is not only a common street snack in Thailand, but also a staple food. At first, it has the fresh aroma of mango. As coconut milk slides in, it can taste the creamy taste, and after chewing, it will leave the rice aroma in the mouth, which is truly a perfect match. You can also buy a mango rice and refrigerate it in the refrigerator for a while. It will taste even better as a cold drink.

The charm of Pattaya is vividly displayed on the tip of the tongue, and you only need to taste it to understand its beauty.
