Im thai, I cook. And I can say that these food are authentic. We cook them exactly like he did (except more chili) even his pronunciation of the menu is also very correct. Good job!

[Yadahl]

I'm Thai and I think he's good at cooking. he's not only know the recipes, but also knows why we do it like that, which is amazing.

[jamescassar]

"the rice is not secondary". The respect he shows to each individual item is remarkable. Truly a great chef

[phaitun]

This guy knows exactly how Thai food is cooked. He's done it in the correct way. He even makes his own chilli paste which not every Thai person would. Good job.

I stand and clap my hands for Derek at the moment when I see his sticky rice basket (หวดนึ่งข้าวเหนียว)
My grandmother is a chef, she has been working in the kitchen more than 50 years and I learned a lot from her.
As her grandson, I can tell you that "Khun" Derek has made every dish in the traditional way of Thai food, his accents for the menu and ingredients are also excellent!

I grew up in Thailand. The chef cooked everything authentically and perfectly just like how my mom would! Loved it 😍

[junie]

As a Thai, this is my first time seeing farang cooked Thai foods that looked truest to local's. Well done.

[rogerramjet]

You can tell by the comments how much everyone loved this video. This chef knows how to cook Thai!

[ทวิชสกุลธร]

Wow. Two Thumbs up. I am Thai. I appreciate what you guys have done. The first time I have seen foreigners cook real Thai food.

[jakkrapanjirajaruwes]

I am Thai. I am really appreciated by the food you cooked. I can say “That is a real Thai style of cooking”. Well done guys. You know all techniques and which one should be put first and next.

[AlyssaAKL]

Finally, someone who truly honors Thai cuisine. 👏👏👏

[kittisiri]

I'm Thai, and I've been to many Thai restaurants in many corners of the world, especially Europe. Most of them make western-style Thai food, which is not what we Thai people actually eat.

But Derek... Damn. That's real authentic Thai food right there.
Great one.

The hardest part of Thai food is the ingredients though. If you don't get them right, you don't get the REAL Thai food.

[beenapapon]

I'm Thai and have been cooking for 30+ years, I really respect how Derek is cooking Thai foods this authentic way. He was using Thai fish sauce more than I was cooking here in US. And Thank you for calling everything right. I am enjoying watching this a lot. Khop Khun Kaa. Thank you so much. Loved it.

[paonitiphat]

I've never seen a foreigner cook Thai food so deliciously before. He’s so nice. 👍👍

[mugdawanh]

I am a wife, a mother and a grandmother from Thailand.
Every dish looks fabulous. You make me happy to see Thai food cooked the way it really is.
Thank you.

[orngejoos]

After being a chef in a Mexican restaurant for 7 years, I chose to dabble in Thai cuisine after the pandemic shuttered my restaurant. I have to say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The food is endlessly interesting and delicious.

[Austinmaxwe]

Seeing Derek getting this amount of respect in the comments makes me wanna cry. He deserves every bit

[chonlakarno.]

guy just cooked it like he was born and raised in Thailand!!! Kudos 👏 💐 never expected this authentic way of cooking Thai dishes from a Western YouTube channel though, very impressive. 🙂

[dew]

As a traditional Thai person. I am so impressed with your cooking and surprisingly your pronunciation. Thank you very much for demonstrating an authentic Thai recipe. TBH, your skill is far better than lots of native Thais.

[toeytoey]

I'm Thai. I feel good to see foreigners eat Thai food. You make Thai food very tasty. FC from Thailand.
