With help from Steph and Chris from Chinese Cooking Demystified, we visited Huay Khwang, a neighborhood in North Bangkok that's a Mandarin-speaking, baijiu-pounding, incredible-food-eating enclave of immigrants from China. Despite the hype around Yarowat, better known as "Chinatown", it's actually here that- for the first time since leaving- brought me back to the eleven years I spent living, cooking, and most of all, eating in China.
In this video, we rediscover old favorites like Lanzhou Noodles and Malatang, try to understand the rise-and-fall of immigrant communities, and explore the next phase of migration to Huay Khwang through an all-time feast at a restaurant run by members of the Wa Ethnic Group.
