MAE HONG SON (แม่ฮ่องสอน), THAILAND – Welcome to Mae Hong Son province in northern Thailand, one of the most relaxed and beautiful provinces in Thailand. I love the mountains, and the mix of cultures that are represented in Mae Hong Son. During our trip, we had a chance to stay at a home-stay (โฮมสเตย์ป้าคำหลู่บ้านโบราณร้อยปี) in a village called Ban Muang Pon. The village is home to a Shan, or a Thai Yai (ไทใหญ่) community. Along with a few spectacular Shan food meals, one day some of the expert cooking Aunty’s from the community cooked 50 kilos of Gaeng Hang Lay (แกงฮังเล), a Burmese pork curry!

As the story goes, Gaeng Hang Lay (แกงฮังเล) is a strong pork curry that originated in Burma, with the help of Indian curry spices. The Shan people are the ones who brought the dish to Thailand, and now you’ll find Gaeng Hang Lay (แกงฮังเล) as one of the most common and popular dishes in Northern Thai food. The original version of this Burmese pork curry that the Shan make in this village is still made on special occasions, and for big communal gathering like a wedding or celebration.

We woke up early in the morning to get started, and some of the Aunty’s from the community had already gathered to start the cooking process. First they chopped up the pork, peeled potatoes, shallots, garlic, and ginger.

The pork was braised down in a curry paste of chilies, lemongrass, shallots, garlic, and ginger, and cooked in its own juices and melted fat. It’s important to note that there’s not written recipe for this dish – it’s just passed down by knowledge, judged by ratios in the head cooks head, and by experience. They added in dark soy sauce, tamarind, ginger, and Burmese masala, similar to an Indian masala powder.

The Burmese pork curry simmered over the fire until it reached the fall apart tender stage. It was outrageously tasty, packed with garlic, fresh slices of ginger, a tartness from tamarind and sweet.

Without a doubt, this was the best Gaeng Hang Lay (แกงฮังเล) I’ve ever had anywhere in Thailand – and I’ve had it many places. The balance of flavors, and sweet and sourness, was delicious. It was a Shan / Thai Yai meal experience in Mae Hong Son to never forget.

? They arranged this food experience at this Homestay in Muang Pon village (https://goo.gl/maps/i4HsXTQDEzJdnHQa6). You can contact them to stay there and cook meals for you here: https://www.facebook.com/ecbykroopui/

Highly recommended, an amazing place to learn about the culture of the Shan people, stay in a 100 year old traditional Shan house, and eat delicious Shan food!

People say to me that a person being a Mark Wiens is Impossible and I'm fckng retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful and full of great foods. I'm having a plastic surgeon install short black hair, sociopath eyes and a 5/10 Asian wife to follow me around.

Thank you for being so understanding.

  12. Please visit Karen Village ( Kariang in Thai ). One of the ethnic hill tribe mostly northern Thailand, ex: Mae Hong Son, Tak, Chiang Mai.

  13. 8:25 I know very well what she put to chilli and so I would not eat that with meat as well, I know the taste, i know the smell.Here in my state, some of the villagers used to it to fry or boil with meat, most of the people in my state didn't like it.

  14. It is like our “humba” here in the Philippines?? (w/o the potatoes). Best paired w/some chili sauce or some slices of chili.
