Restaurant Review: Hua Seng Hong Seafood (ฮั่วเซ่งฮง)

24 April 2012 by Mark Wiens

One of my favorite reasons for being such a Thai food connoisseur is that I can eat seafood for just about every meal if I choose. While I was growing up, it was only on special occasions that I’d get to eat shrimp, squid or even fish. But in Thailand, things are different. I eat [...]
