hahah i feel too. Living in Spain now its so hard to find authetnic asian sauces and coconut milk too! i tried the coconut milk in spanish grocery stores and it taste nothing like coconut milk . in fact its rubbery and gross.

“Oh no all my vegetables!” 😂😂😂 Omg, this is so good.

Best part is, that statement is actually factual Carrot in Thai is just literally called carrot (แครอต) and button mushrooms are called through its french name (I think, idk) Broccoli is just บรอคโคลี่ (same with carrots, no Thai name)

I have so thankful to have seen you on a Canadian cooking show, then to find your channel. You may feel like you are swimming upstream compared to magazines and the Jamie Oliver’s of the world, but after making your recipes, I would never go back to non or pseudo Thai recipes again. Hands down, your recipes are infinitely better. Keep doing a great job introducing great and authentic food. Cheers!!👏

Talk about taking one for the team. Pai, you are patience personified!

Two most important things I learned from this channel : 1. Most Thai people don't make their own curry paste using a mortar and pestle! I now make really awesome curry because I buy a great quality product at the Asian market and the rest is pretty easy. 2: I finally know how to properly treat rice noodles. I love them but have had terrible luck trying to cook them according to package directions or by winging it. Now my noodles are perfect, not a starchy mess. I haven't watched the video yet. Some frozen foreign dishes can be pretty good, like Indian, but I haven't had good luck with Thai. Noodles are never good in a frozen dinner but rice usually does OK.

Thanks Pai. Very entertaining. I am glad that we make our own Thai food at home from scratch and don't have to suffer these "packaged" imitations.

Pailin, unlike the variety of instant “pad Thai” you reviewed, your videos are never disappointing. Definitely one that is going to be a Hot Thai Kitchen classic!

Loved this! I'm American and find store-bought pad thai WAAAY too sweet! Your reactions to these were too funny!

As a Southeast Asian myself whose country is actually pretty close to Thailand, and having had Thai food both in Thailand and in other Western countries eg Australia, I'd say that the Thai food overseas is almost always much sweeter than the real thing.. for some reason. Also in some cases they use coconut cream instead of coconut milk which makes the curries gloopier, and makes dishes fattier, heavier and more surfeiting.

Uncle Roger would approve of you dissing Jamie Oliver. So would I!

Loved this episode. "Cilantro - NO!" It's funny about how some of the brands added non-authentic ingredients. Reminds me of some episodes of America's Test Kitchen when they are preparing some foreign food, but they modify some of the key ingredients to make it very non-authentic. I'm fortunate to live in a city with several good Thai restaurants and a couple of decent Asian markets that sell authentic ingredients for Thai food.

This was really fun to watch!!!! Thank you as always, love from Japan!

You’re not mad Aunty at all. All you said is valid. Do more vids like this pls. We need your taste bud to authenticate the originality of Thai foods!

I love love love this series! Please make more of these.

I greatly appreciate your high standards and devotion to authenticity and quality. You are always my 'go to' when it comes to all things Thai cuisine. In fact, I made your coconut water fruit cubes and your mango/coconut fruit cake this weekend for my daughter and granddaughter, who are both vegan. They were gone in 24 hours and received rave reviews!

Nice job Pai; I knew it that nothing beats the homemade preps. Thanks for trying it for us.

This video was so much fun to watch you review! I laughed so hard when you reviewed the Chinese box one- where the noodles shot straight in the box! 🤣 Your expression was so funny and I couldn't believe the process for that one to cook either!!

I am so obsessed with you. Your integrity and warmth and love for food is so engaging.

I’ve always liked the ‘A Taste of Thai’ products. I can’t speak for their authenticity but their peanut noodles stopped me from starving to death in college many a time.

Thank you Auntie Pai! So glad you include a link to your Pad Thai recipe (although I have two of your cookbooks).

Love this video. Thank you so much for taking 1 for the team. I always try to make mine authentic except vegan version.. ❤❤❤

There’s no better than home cooking and specially your pad Thai recipes 🥰🥰🥰

It seemed so much like you were trying to give them the benefit of the doubt when they didn't deserve it. Your recipes are so much better. I SO like your videos!

This was an absolute treat. Funny and very entertaining. I just started cooking your recipes, and OMG my mouth is exploding with flavors. I am running out of space to store all those ingredients though. ❤❤

This vdo got me laughing. My family enjoyed both of your books and vdo. Even though, we have your weeks, we typically follow your vdo. Thank you for staying true to Thai cuisine and making it simple. We especially love how you explained the reason for the methods

As a fellow Thai living overseas I felt your pain deeply 🤣

looool the commentary for the first product was the best

I just watched the very first video on your channel, 13 years ago! You've come a long way. Congratulations on your success. Whenever I eat a dish at a Thai restaurant that I really like I come to your channel to see if you made it and to get an idea what ingredients are in it, etc.

The moment Pailin said "Thai recipes from Jamie Oliver"..a voice in the back of my head went "HAIYAAAAA" 🤣

I really love this, and it's so true. You can buy/eat "thai" food in so many ways. You can find a recipe and follow every step, even buy it at a local "thai" restaurant. But it ends up almost every time in something that doesn't compare with how it actually tastes when you sit down to eat in Thailand. My favourite is Pad med mamuang, and now after some years watching your videos and get help from my thai friends, I've actually came close the real thing. :)

This is so much fun to watch! I couldn't stop laughing throughout.

I'm now awaiting the "Mad Aunty" brand of instant Thai foods.. Lol

Hi Pailin, much thanks for the reviews. Loved your slippery lime slips! 🤣💜

0:26 i hope Uncle Roger dont hear this, he will definitely come for you if he does 😂 god bless you..

This was fun! I love your delivery and the actual reviews. The idea of a Thai-inspired Welsh-Swedish-fusion "Pad Thai" will live with me (and give me nightmares) forever. Thanks, mad auntie

Pailin, As usual your thorough presentation inspired me to seek for your recommended Thai Pad Thai. Thank you!

Thanks for the video, im in the mood for some proper Pad Thai. Love your content

1) I LOVE you going over the instant stuff 2) I'm so glad you showed up on my feed. I've been trying to branch out into more Korean and Thai cooking. So I'm happy to find someone who makes authentic food to learn from!

SO glad you did this! Much like you, I've written off any and all instant pad thai from the stores. When you've had really good authentic pad Thai, it's hard to expect the same quality and flavor from anything else. You've just proven our "Asian auntie assumptions". LOL!

The way I cackled when I saw the thumbnail 😂😂😂😂 such a good idea! It's a good thing that I'm going to be making Pai's authentic pad thai tonight for dinner 🤗🤗🤗🤗

This is going to be an entertaining watch. 😅 Thanks, love seeing this kind of dress down bad products videos. I remember going to this one fusion takeaway years ago that had a very lovely noodle dish, that while delicious; was absolutely NOT pad thai beyond the peanuts. It's as if they couldnt think of a better name.

First time watching your show. You are fantastic! Will be following your show from now onwards. Thanks.

Weird thing is almost everywhere I go pad Thai is served with carrots and cabbage on the side. I’m Thai and never thought that was weird until I actually went to Thailand.

I love this channel!!!! i lived in Thailand 4 years and I miss the food. I'm back in Canada and its sometimes hard to find the right ingredients

This is like watching a comedy, so funny how you presented the whole thing 🤣

Lived in Thailand for 7-8 years and I give you credit for being brave enough to even try this! I can't even stand to east restaurant Pad Thai outside of Thailand. They had an exclusively Pad Thai soi side restaurant near my home that was always lined up all night busy as heck because that Pad Thai was thee BEST and mostly frequented by the local Thais. I really miss it. They made it right in front of us, so they got to know their customers and what they liked. We had so many choices of what we could get in our Pad Thai!

As a father to a Korean and Chinese daughter who really try to cook authentic, as much as possible, I loved your sense of humor.

Thanks to Pai: I am now growing my own makrut lime leaves, shallots, garlic chives, and lemon grass. I still haven't made Pai's pad thai recipe but I just found some dried shrimp so I'm almost there. The sweet preserved radish may be too tough to find, but that's OK.

Spot on review. There's a "pad thai-ish" version of Pad Thai in the midwest, and I feel like these products emulate that flavor. It's always too sweet and often lacking any umami from fish sauce and shrimp paste. I miss eating thai food back in Los Angeles. :(

Your faces with those first three boxes were priceless. I like mushy noodles so that brand wouldn't be a problem for me.

You are one incredible lady and chef. I will never forgive myself for only discovering you 6 months ago.

Love this! This should be a series!!

I agree with you re: the amount of sugar some manufacturers put in their prepared products. I once tried a Trader Joe's marinara pasta sauce that was so sweet that it tasted like a dessert it was so sweet. I threw it away. A little sugar, for recipe balance, can be a good thing. The sweet taste can be addicting and lead to serious sugar-eating problems. Thankfully we have your good taste and good cooking to follow. This was a fun video and thank you for 'going there' so that the rest of us don't have to!! haha!

I thank you for your Thai recipes, I have made a few of them😊

your videos r always fun to watch :)

Just watching the faces you made with the first ones was well worth my time. Now, I will go back to making my own Pad Thai.

Thanks for a very entertaining video. Perhaps not unexpected. Having said that many supposed “Thai” Restaurants also produce disappointing Pad Thai. I always use your recipe and all the family loves it. Cheers

This was giving such aunty energy and I was here for it 😂 I’ve basically just assumed that if it came from the grocery store chain it will not be right (or good for that matter).

Hi, Khun Pai! Great timing on your part ´cause I planned on making Pad Thai for dinner tonight. Of course an original according to a Hot Thai Kitchen recipe! I already bought shrimps, bean sprouts and tofu for this one. However, I hope you don´t mind me adding some broccolli as an experiment, but no cilantro will find its way in there, I promise😉.

Thanks for taking one for the authentic Thai food team. The 2nd one from Costco my local Costco has too. One of my family was tempted to buy it until I said no way. Love the in-video text comments (e.g. three out of ten...thousand) 🤣

Hard for me to imagine that no one in thailand ever used some leaves of cilantro in pad thai or that it completely offend someones taste😂 but i will take care when combining it, due to possible weird reactions or police calling people😅 very funny video, love your recipes, always turned out the most authentic😊

Pai, thank you for making this video review! I was thinking that it would be nice to see some reviews on Pai Thai instant mead before buying and wasting money so this definitely helps!! Please do more reviews on Thai instant dishes in the future!

I have been having an urge for pad Thai recently and I wanted to make my own. I found your recipe on the internet and made that. For a first timer it turned out pretty good. I found most of the ingredients at a local Asian market. And followed the directions fairly closely. My one mistake was to think that the noodles were going to need some more water, which you said might happen. I added just a splash and realized that I should have just cooked my noodles for a little longer until they were dryer. The second time I did not add the extra water and was much closer to the desired product. I will be repeating it, hopefully with dried shrimp and pickled daikon. Than you so much.

Thanks for even baring your tonsils to these meals, so we don't have to. If I want to eat a decent Thai meal, I either have to go to a decent Thai restaurant or follow your excellent video recipes Pailin. Long term follower and Thai food maniac 😋 Love from North Wales, UK.

Omg 😂 Your expressions 😅 I am an Italian Canadian and I love this channel. You are the real deal ✅ I loved One World Kitchen 🌏

loved this! thank youuuu!

Love this and would LOVE to see it as a series! At least until all the pseudo-thai packages are reviewed, though I'm gradually developing my own palate based on your (and Marion's😉) recipes. I live in Africa but fortunately there are enough Asians in the area who are serious about their food so imported sauces(especially fish), seasonings, even curry pastes are a thing! What I can't often find is tamarind, but I get that hand-carried from whomever can find it for me! I have garlic chives and scallions in my courtyard, and fresh roasted peanuts a block away...I've even found tofu at an anonymous Asian grocery market....All is good!

So happy to have stumbled upon your channel! I enjoyed watching this and look forward to checking out your other content. This has me really craving some authentic Thai cuisine. While I enjoy eating Pad Thai and will probably start there you have inspired me to learn more and begin trying to prepare some of these amazing meals myself. I really hope to be able to create some of the authentic flavors that Thai food is centered around! On a side note relating to the products featured in your video I am conflicted on the existence of these products and those targeting other cultures as well. On one hand their continued existence and wide variety indicates that many are willing to branch out and experience new foods and they have potential to spread a general knowledge of them while making it more accessible. However as you have clearly demonstrated these products seem to do little in regards to actually make an affordable and ready to eat version of the food they are 'representing'. Had they just left it as Thai inspired it might be better than going out and misrepresenting it Pad Thai when you have substituted half the important ingredients. I appreciate you sharing your insight as a mad Auntie! :)
