Chiang Mai / London: Thailänderin gewinnt größten Kochwettbewerb von BBC

Eine Thailänderin, die im ländlichen Chiang Mai das Kochen am offenen Feuer gelernt hat, hat den größten Kochwettbewerb des britischen Fernsehens gewonnen. Chariya Khattiyot, 40, widmete ihren Master Chef Erfolg dem verstorbenen Großvater, der ihr das Kochen beibrachte, als er sie alleine großzog. „Das ist unglaublich. Für mich bedeutet es die Welt, die Sonne, den Mond und alles. Ich glaube nicht, dass irgendetwas das übertreffen kann“, sagte sie, nachdem sie ihre Trophäe von den Richtern John Torode und Gregg Wallace entgegengenommen hatte. „Ich bin so glücklich. Das beweist nur, dass man es erreichen kann, wenn man etwas träumt, wirklich hart arbeitet und niemals aufgibt. Das hat mein Opa zu mir gesagt: Gib niemals auf. Er wäre so stolz auf mich“, betonte sie.

Eine Thailänderin, die im ländlichen Chiang Mai das Kochen am offenen Feuer gelernt hat, hat den größten Kochwettbewerb des britischen Fernsehens gewonnen. Chariya Khattiyot, 40, widmete ihren Master Chef Erfolg dem verstorbenen Großvater, der ihr das Kochen beibrachte, als er sie alleine großzog. „Wir hatten nicht viel Geld. Früher tat ich so, als hätte ich ein eigenes Restaurant und kochte am offenen Feuer. Mein Opa war mein einziger Kunde.“ Chariya setzte sich im achtwöchigen BBC One Wettbewerb gegen 44 andere Teilnehmer durch, darunter die Finalisten Anurag Aggarwal und Omar Foster. Ihr Gewinnermenü im Finale am 1. Juni begann mit einer thailändischen Lotus-Tuille gefüllt mit Kokosgelee, gebratenen Riesengarnelen und Pampelmusensalat, gewürzt mit Honig, Palmzucker und Kokosnuss. Ihr Hauptgericht war eine traditionelle nordthailändische Khantoke-Platte mit Wagyu-Lendensteak in Hung-Lay-Currysauce, gehacktem Lammfleisch in einer würzigen Tomaten-Garnelen-Paste, Jackfrucht-Jakobsmuschel-Salat, Klebreis und knusprigen Jakobsmuschel-Crackern. Für ihr Dessert komponierte sie ihre eigene Version von Erdbeeren und Sahne – einen Erdbeergelee-Vanille-Creux-Ring, gefüllt mit mazerierten Erdbeeren in Erdbeerlikör, Pistazienbiskuit, Erdbeersplittern und einer Erdbeer-Thai-Basilikum-Sauce. Nachdem sie in Chiang Mai aufgewachsen war, zog Chariya mit 22 Jahren nach Japan, um Japanisch zu lernen. Dort lernte sie ihren britischen Freund Adam kennen und zog nach Großbritannien. Sie leben jetzt in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Nach ihrem Umzug nach Großbritannien arbeitete sie sieben Jahre lang als Bezirksleiterin für eine Coffeeshop-Kette, bevor sie 2016 ihre eigene Kaffeerösterei gründete und Meisterröster wurde. Chariya legt großen Wert darauf, die nordthailändische Küche nach Großbritannien zu bringen und dabei lokale Zutaten zu verwenden. „Thailändisches Essen besteht nicht nur aus Tom Yam und Pad Thai. Es hat so viele Aromen, Schichten und Texturen und das ist phänomenal. „In vielerlei Hinsicht sind meine Gerichte eine Mischung aus südostasiatischer und westlicher Küche“, sagte sie. „Ich werde auf jeden Fall ein paar Restaurants eröffnen – das ist sicher.“ MasterChef-Richter Torode sagte, Chariyas Essen sei „immer ehrlich und von Herzen gekommen.“ Es ist immer aufregend, es ist immer ungewöhnlich und es war immer schön und macht süchtig. Und nicht nur die ausdrucksstarken, aufregenden thailändischen Aromen, die wir zu Beginn gesehen haben, sondern auch die außergewöhnliche, innovative und aufregende Technik bis zum Ende. Ein richtiger Meister.“ Mitjuror Wallace fügte hinzu: „Chariya ist herausragend und eine der besten MasterChef Kandidaten, an die ich mich erinnern kann. Chariya hat mich gleichermaßen begeistert und erstaunt“. „Einige ihrer Kreationen sind absolut wunderschön – fast mit einer künstlerischen Note. Sie ist eine der kreativsten und geschicktesten Köchinnen, die ich seit langem bei MasterChef gesehen habe.“ / Pattaya News Read the full article

Week 11: Thailand!

This week at UNSW was flex week where we have a week off — kind of like spring break (even thought its fall here now). For flex week, my friends and I wanted to take advantage of the time off and go somewhere father away, so we chose Thailand! Thailand is about a 9.5 hour direct flight from Sydney (or 14 hours with layovers in Malaysia if you want to save some money like us!)

We left on Friday night on our red eye to Bangkok, stopping in Kuala Lumpur on the way. We were all pretty exhausted and slept most of the flights as well as during our layover so we could be wide awake by the time we reached Bangkok in the morning.

In Bangkok, we explored markets, temples, lots of street food, and the infamous nightlife. The markets and stalls on the streets near our hostel were absolutely unreal — we got such a great taste of the culture the second we arrived. We ate tons of amazing food I had never even seen before! We also bargained a ton in street stalls. I bought pants, a skirt, a dress, and got pad thai all for less than USD$20! Things are very cheap in Thailand — a US dollar is equivalent to 35 thai bhat and most things are less than 150 bhat. 

After checking into our hostel the first day, we went to the big buddha, a huge gold structure of buddha in a temple where so many locals were coming to pray. Buddhism is very similar to Hinduism, which is what I practice, so it was awesome to see and to compare the similarities. Then we went to Wat Pho, which is a huge, beautiful temple complex. There were so many ornate structures and the sun was shining so beautifully on all the gold. Afterwards, we went to the Chinatown markets where there was a ton of street food. Later, we explored the clubs on Khao San road with some of our new hostel friends! It was so fun to explore the nightlife, which is pretty big in Bangkok. The next day in Bangkok we went to the Grand Palace, the Chatuchak weekend markets which is a huge area with 15,000+ stalls, and we went out at night again. We rode in tuk tuks (rickshaw taxi’s) everywhere we went which was also really fun. 

The next day we woke up at 4am for our flight to Chiang Mai, which is up north in the mountains. We were so lucky at the airport and got a great taxi driver, Mr. Pee, who gave us his contact information so we could get him to drive us while in Chiang Mai. After resting for a bit, we got picked up and stopped at a local spot for Khao Soi, Chiang Mai’s famous dish! It was so spicy, flavorful, and yummy. Then, we continued to the Tiger Kingdom where we got to see tigers! Afterwards, we made our way up a windy road in the mountains to a temple. Later, we got drinks at a local bar where most people traveling go to meet each other. 

On our second day in Chiang Mai, we had a half-day Thai cooking class! We saw local markets and got a tour of the farm, then we got to make our very own spring rolls, pad thai/fried rice, curry paste, curry, and soup. I made pad thai, massaman curry and its paste, and tom yum soup. All of it was so yummy and easy to cook! When we got back, we got thai massages which were not what we expected but definitely much needed after all the walking. At night, we went to Thai Khantoke, which is a cultural dinner with lots of little dishes brought out to the table and a cultural dance/performance going on on the side. It was so cool to experience Thai culture. 

Our last day in Chiang Mai was my favorite — the elephant sanctuary! Mr. Pee has a secret, close relationship with a private jungle in the mountains which is meant to protect the elephants. This sanctuary is nowhere to be seen online in order to protect the elephants from tourism, but we were lucky to have Mr. Pee’s connection. We were so happy to be at such an ethical sanctuary, since so many are harmful to the animals. We got up close with all the elephants, including a baby elephant which loved to play with us! It got all of us very dirty, but it was worth it. We also got to walk with the elephants through the jungle, feed them, and bathe with them in the water. It was an amazing, intimate experience with just me and my friends and the elephants which I will never forget. On our way back, we stopped for lunch at a local spot Mr. Pee knows for amazing pad thai and fried rice. Then, we had our evening flight to Phuket. 

From Phuket, we had an early morning ferry to Koh Phi Phi, which is a small island in the south. It was absolutely stunning and so nice to be by the water after the city and mountains. We did a little coastal walk and then spent the day at the beach. The water was super clear and we saw so many fish swimming right next to us! After a while, we got a water taxi boat back to our hostel and got ready to go out. At night, our hostel became a party hostel. The whole strip of the beach our hostel was on was lit up and there were clubs and bars everywhere. There were also fire shows and face painting — it felt almost like a beach festival. On the second day in Koh Phi Phi, we had a boat party through our hostel where we saw monkey beach, maya bay national park, and got to jump into the wide open ocean and paddleboard/snorkel/swim. It was so cool to meet so many traveling friends from all over the world and spend the day on the boat with them. 

Unfortunately, that night I got sick from what we think might have been a stomach bug or food poisoning. Luckily, it was our last night in Koh Phi Phi. The next day, we took the ferry back to Phuket, and everyone ended up being sick together all day. After a long 24 hours of sickness, we began our travels back to Sydney. Since we had all been so run down by sickness, we were very happy to be back. 

Whew! Thanks for reading this very long post of the best week ever!

What is the best Asian food that you must eat?

Traveling and exploring places in Aisa is always incomplete without trying lip-smacking Asian dishes, all decked up with spices, herbs, and condiments. Let's take your taste buds to cloud nine with some of the most popular and signature dishes of Asian Countries. Come and experience the most drool-worthy dishes that you must try when visiting these Asian nations:

1.Khantoke Dinner, Thailand : "Khantoke“ is the term used to describe haunch-high, round tables around which diners feast. Dinners are usually accompanied by traditional dance, performances, and local liquor. It's a traditional Northern Thai feast that is a medley of the region's Lanna food. Bite into this flavorsome cuisine to relish chili dips, spicy sausage, Northern-style curries, and the staple rice. Experience this Northern Thai food served on a red pedestal tray at the Old Chiangmai Cultural Center, a major tourist attraction.

2.Kaldereta, Philippines : Relish this Filipino meat stew traditionally served with a side of white rice. Three centuries of Spanish colonization contributed to the dish's origin, and its name comes from the Spanish word caldereta, which means pot or cauldron. This flavorsome dish has a medley of ingredients like mashed liver and tomato sauce seasoned with onion, salt, pepper, and garlic to enhance the taste. If you're in this Asian country, don't forget to savor this Filipino dish.

3.Ebi Furai, Japan : Bite into one of the signature dishes of Aisa from Nagoya, Japan. Ebi Furai is large prawns dipped in egg white, daubed in panko breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to give your taste buds a scrumptious delight. It's one of the western-inspired yōshoku dishes that originated in the Meiji Restoration between the 1860s and the early 1900s. In addition to being a kawari-age food, which is breaded and deep-fried, Ebi Furai is also considered a meibutsu food, which relates to regional cuisine.

4.Manti, Turkey : Spiced up with ground meat and onions and filled with flavors, these traditional Turkish dumplings dipped in a sauce made from yogurt and garlic will make you crave more. Named after a dish originating in Central Asia, Manti is derived from the word mantu for dumplings and was introduced to Turkey by nomadic Turkish tribes around the 13th century. You'll find these lip-smacking Manti dumplings throughout Turkey as this dish has garnered popularity for great taste.

5.Nasi Padang, Indonesia : This Indonesian dish got its name from its place of origin, nasi Pandang. A combination of rice (nasi) and a medley of traditional Pandang dishes. In Indonesia, nasi Padang, which is more of a style of eating than a dish, can be served as hidangor (in which a server brings rice and many types of foods) or as pesan (in which customers are served rice and then choose the dishes they want on top). You get to choose from an array of finger-licking dishes to accompany rice, including gulai curries and beef rendang, boiled, fried, or grilled dishes. Moreover, you get a variety of snacks seasoned with spices and herbs to add flavors.

Read 3 Ways to Enjoy Your Thailand Culinary Tours

Thailand is a wonderful travel destination that is home to amazing attractions and superb sights. Rich in culture, history and natural beauty, food tours in Thailand are made special not only by the subtle flavors of Thai food but also by the different cultural and historic resonance that each dish, ingredient, cooking technique or place of purchase displays.

Here are 3 fantastic ways you can make the most of your culinary Thailand Tour Package:

Explore the floating markets:

The floating markets of Thailand are famous the world over. Apart from being a centre of commercial activity, these floating markets also enable you to enjoy cuisine in a novel way. You can dig into freshly cooked lobster, crab legs, roasted prawns, hot pork noodle soup and more, bought straight from vendors in boats. Sit back in your own tiny boat as it meanders through various stalls selling some of the freshest produce you've ever seen as you tuck into your boat-bought treats.

Learn the tricks of the trade in street markets:

One of the most exciting experiences on any Thailand culinary tours is to shop for fresh produce from the street markets to be used later in your cooking sessions. The street markets are filled with luscious fruits and vegetables, fresh seafood, local ingredients and delicious sweets. Accompanying a local helps you learn how to select items at the right time, best stalls to visit and of course, how to haggle successfully - which is not just accepted, but expected and quite a useful skill to have tucked under your sleeve when you visit street markets.

Relish a traditional Khantoke dinner:

A meal comprising a series of courses, indulging in a Khantaoke dinner is an authentic Thai experience you simply must have during your Thailand tours. Expect to tuck into spicy salads, aromatic soups, marinated fish wrapped in banana leaves and a special dessert of lemongrass ice cream. The flavors of a Khantoke dinner are subtle but the harmonious mix of sweet, sour, hot and salty elements will provide a true treat for your taste buds and have you reaching out for seconds with every single dish.

As you can see food travel in Thailand is all about experiencing the traditional, even if in a modern setting, to enjoy the simple pleasures in life such as delighting in flavors and tastes and truly getting under the skin of a place with the help of locals to gain insight into the country's rich culture.

Chiang Mai – A Trip Unexpected In Many Ways
