MAE HONG SON (แม่ฮ่องสอน), THAILAND – Welcome to the beautiful province of Mae Hong Son in Northern Thailand, home to a large community of Shan, or a Thai Yai (ไทใหญ่) people. We had the privilege to spend a few days Muang Pon, a Shan village, where I learned so much about their culture, and especially the unique Shan food.

This was actually my first full Shan meal, and I was blown away by the incredible flavors, spices, and ingredients used in their cooking. Shan / Thai Yai (ไทใหญ่) is very different from Thai food. Shan food is influenced by Burmese food, Southern Chinese food, and still its own cuisine. The Shan use something called “tua nao” or fermented soy beans in almost every dish. It’s one of their main signature ingredients for flavoring boosting umami. For this incredible Shan food meal, we had a number of local dishes. One of the main dishes was a local Shan chicken curry, which was fantastic. Another dish they cooked was “lung” of Shan meatballs – which I think could be the best meatballs in the world. For these meatballs, they made them with frog and tons of spices and chilies. Although they didn’t fully stick together, the taste was outstanding, the best meatballs I’ve ever had.

It was an amazing Shan food meal and an amazing experience to hang out in Muang Pon village.

  1. I love the community feeling, how everyone respects the other person and how they have such a great sense of humor. I love the Aunties and Uncles. Thank you for sharing it was wonderful.

  2. Everytime I watch you eating, I get hungry Man. It’s a treat to watch you.
    Btw I love cooking myself and would be honoured if I could serve my delicacies to you someday and see if I can achieve your signature expression in return.

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

  4. So nice to watch them, how they are cooking! I love the tribes people, they are normally so natural friendly and open and funny! I had the big pleasure to spend 3 days with Tai people in Northern Vietnam, it was amazing!
