This is by far the best Goong Ob Woon Sen (กุ้งอบวุ้นเส้น) I’ve ever had. For more picture and information about this Bangkok street food stall, click here – http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2013/07/thai-seafood-somsak-pu-ob-bangkok/
Goong Ob Woon Sen (กุ้งอบวุ้นเส้น) is a popular Thai dish that includes just a few ingredients. If it’s cooked poorly, meaning the vermicelli noodles and the shrimp are overcooked and mushy, then it’s a terrible dish. But if it’s cooked correctly, like at Somsak Pu Ob (สมศักดิ์ ปูอบ), it’s absolutely outstanding! The best thing about this extremely famous Bangkok street food stall is that they only serve a few dishes. The menu is actually just taped to the tables as soon as you walk up, and there are only about 5 items you can choose from.
The most famous Thai dish is a dish known as Pu Ob Woon Sen (ปูเนื้ออบวุ้นเส้น). The vendor starts by throwing the crab along with some fresh ingredients and herbs like coriander root, and lots of black pepper into the bottom of a single bowl skillet. Expertly, he lights the fire on an intense flame, cooking the ingredients with a scorch. When the crab has finished cooking, the vendor that tosses in a mixture of glass rice vermicelli noodle sand puts the lid on for a few more seconds. Finally some chives are thrown on top to complete the dish and it’s served. But while the Pu Ob Woon Sen (ปูเนื้ออบวุ้นเส้น) at Somsak Pu Ob (สมศักดิ์ ปูอบ) is the most famous, I preferred the Goong Ob Woon Sen (กุ้งอบวุ้นเส้น). It’s essentially the same thing, but instead of crab, jumbo prawns are used.
One thing I love most about Thai Bangkok street food is the vendors that specialized and become extreme experts in cooking just a single or a very few dishes. The cook at Somsak Pu Ob (สมศักดิ์ ปูอบ) didn’t work all that fast, but he did everything to exact precision, making sure he didn’t overcook anything or make any mistakes. This Thai street food strives for excellence, and though they are extremely popular with local Thais and get plenty of business each evening, they have maintained their standard of high quality!

Mark Wiens you’re our favorite and we really appreciate the passion you have for Thai food. We have been following you from the get go because your videos relieve my homesick feeling.
Shrimp not devein is very dangerous, i wouldn't eat this even given for free. I have never ever eaten seafood in any restaurants or from street food. Because they never clean the fish and shrimps well. Precaution is better then cure. I cook seafood myself and i make sure the fish or shrimp are thoroughly cleaned. Im very very picky about cleanliness and hygiene.
I love watching your videos never miss them , and this is is so wrong in so many ways , but I wish you wouldn't smack , again I apologize
oh my god, look at the guy is sitting behind mark, he is picking his finger in nose,lolllllllllllllllllllllllll
