Stink beans are one of my favorite things to eat in the entire world. To me, they are little beans of joy – little morsels of power and flavor, packed with vitamins, and both their taste and texture excites me like I’m a little kid on a roller coaster. Alright, anyway, you probably have guessed that […]
Khua kling (คั่วกลิ้ง) is one of the pillars of southern Thai cuisine, a dish that you’ll find throughout the south of Thailand, and in every restaurant serving southern Thai food within Thailand. It’s basically a dry meat curry, and though I’ll be making this recipe with pork, you can really use any type of meat you’d like […]
Located on the peaceful east side of Chiang Rai, is Roti Pa Yai (ร้านโรตีป้าใหญ่), a Muslim halal restaurant. In this part of town, although it’s quiet and has a much more calm and country feel to it (despite being just 5 minutes by bike or car from Chiang Rai city center), there happens to be a […]
In a beautiful location, with a river-view, Lu Lam (ร้านหลู้ลำ) is one of the more well known restaurants in Chiang Rai. It’s located on the quieter side of the city, the same general area as many other good restaurants. The hotel I was staying at, Amarin Resort*, was actually located just a 5 minute walk from Lu […]
Loong Thai Khao Gaeng (ลุงไทยข้าวแกง (เพชรบุรี) is a fine restaurant in Chiang Mai and serves northern Thai style rice and curry. Their dishes are insanely spiced with chilies, and my meal made me cry tears of joy, but it was so incredibly delicious.
Throughout Bangkok you’ll find tons and tons of local khao gaeng (rice and curry ข้าวแกง) restaurants. While I like to eat noodles occasionally, I’m more of a rice and curry kind of guy most of the time – so I’m always on the hunt for good restaurants like this. Located on Chula Soi 11, within […]
In Chiang Mai there are a number of well known restaurants that specialize in northern Thai food (Lanna cuisine). Tong Tem Toh (ต๋อง เต็ม โต๊ะ) is sort of a trendy type of Thai restaurant. They’ve upgraded from normal Thai street food or classic restaurants with the Pepsi or Maggi tablecloths, and instead they have dark wooden […]
It’s 4 pm. Down a side soi in Yaowarat, just off Charoen Krung, there are already a few hungry men waiting. They may have even brought their own chairs (I can’t verify this, but it looked like it). Khao Gaeng Jake Puey ข้าวแกงเจ๊กปุ้ย (เจ้เฉี๋ย), a serious Bangkok street food stall, is beginning to unfold down the […]
While Terminal 21 food court offers some decent food for great prices in Bangkok, there are many other dining options in the Asoke area. Just a 10 minute walk from Terminal 21, and across the street is Ran Krua Tong Mai (ร้านครัวทองใหม่), a Thai restaurant that serves both khao gaeng (ข้าวแกง) and chicken soup noodles. At lunch, […]
Throughout my entire life, I’ve been a little more than obsessed with all forms or Japanese food, and while I absolutely love sashimi, I’m also a huge fan of Japanese curry. Luckily in Bangkok there are a few places to get Japanese curry, Gold Curry Bangkok, being one I ate at a few months back. […]
