Within the realm of Thai cuisine are many different variations of noodles, both in fried and soup form. Along with boat noodles and tom yum noodles, one of the most local Thai popular types of soup noodles is known as Yen Ta Fo (เย็นตาโฟ). The noodles dish is uniquely pink in color which distinguishes it from most of the other noodle dishes in Thailand.
So what makes Yen Ta Fo (เย็นตาโฟ) Thai noodles so pink? Well the main ingredients that makes it this color is a tofu based fermented soy bean paste. Why is it pink though? To be honest I'm really not sure, and if you do have the answer, please share it with me in the comments below!
Anyway, Yen Ta Fo (เย็นตาโฟ) is a very popular Thai noodle soup that is usually served with sen yai, which are the wide flat rice noodles. The noodles are blanched in hot soup like other noodle soup in Thailand, along with a few sprigs of water morning glory before going in the bowl. Then the noodles are topped with all sorts of flavorful ingredients and seasonings. But the best part of a Yen Ta Fo (เย็นตาโฟ) in my opinion is all the little meatballs and porky goodies that accompany a bowl. Fish balls, pork balls, fried pork fritters, tofu pieces, and even some pieces of pork meat, and also chunks of squid, are all added to complete a bowl. The result is a very meaty bowl of noodles that tastes a little bit sweet, almost floral, from the fermented bean paste. I like to garnish my noodles with a few spoonfuls of chili flakes and a few spoons of chili vinegar. This sort of offsets the sweetness and makes the broth both sour and spicy along with the natural sweetness.
Yen Ta Fo (เย็นตาโฟ) is not my absolute favorite Thai noodle dish to eat in Bangkok, but nevertheless, it is a very popular choice and many locals love it. This particular restaurant is located near Bangkok's giant red swing near Yaowarat Chinatown. It's a long standing restaurant that serves up a pretty decent bowl.

I'll have to check that out, thanks for the recommendation. I'm sure I'll miss it.
tuyet v ngon thank
I love the wide noodles
Thai dish very nice😋👍💯
good video mark👍😍💖
i prepared my own pink noodle myself today. it's yum yum but I bought pink sauce from Macro Supermarket in Thailand.
Boring food that was…….lol
Tried this today. At THIS restaurant! Good stuff! Left the blood for my wife, cos she's Chinese and she doesn't find it gross. The other stuff was all awesome though. Neat to see young Mark!
i had yantafo in Thailand in July
This is what I eat in Thailand,I travel in Thailand last year,I had that in street vendor,and that is yummy!
the sauce is made from fermented tofu/(bean curd.) the tofu is fermented with a specific kind of yeast which turns it red. they also add food coloring on the street vendor ones to make it more appealing :p
YOU NEVER SHOW HOW to make thank
I also love yentafo. by the way, there is one thing I like in Bkk which is the room game called the escapehunt experience this place is so fun and full of friendly staffs. One you try to play their game you will like it ^^
I think the thing you eating at 1.58 min. is ลูกชิ้นแคะ. I don't know how to call it in english but you can ask your wife to read it.
อร่อยมากๆครับ
that looks disgusting, id rather eat vomit
