Satisfy yourself with the best Thai street food!
Let me first tell you a true story… Before I ever came to Thailand, when I was in university, I sometimes went to a Thai restaurant in the US, and I would order green curry along with Thai sticky rice. I can’t remember exactly how I would eat it, but I think I would just take some of… [Read More]
If you follow EatingThaiFood.com, you might have noticed that I don’t eat khao man gai (rice with chicken) all that often. It’s not that I don’t like it, it can be good, it’s just that it’s not the most flavorful dish in Thailand, and I usually go for meals, like this or this, that have… [Read More]
You’ll know that you’re in the exact right place as soon as you see the lady in the cowboy hat – standing next to a mountain of golden pig legs – which have been slow stewed into tender perfection. If you ask me, it’s really quite an intelligent street food move, standing out with that… [Read More]
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… [Read More]
Jok (โจ๊ก, pronounced joke), or the Thai version of congee also known as rice porridge, is about as comforting as a Thai breakfast can come. While it’s available at some famous sit down restaurants like Jok Samyan, it’s more of a dish that people prefer to grab for takeaway. It’s a dish that makes one… [Read More]
Duck is a very special food. It is texturally attractive and most of all it is extremely flavorful. Though there are many ways to enjoy duck within Thai food, a few slices over a plate of rice (Khao Na Bpet ข้าวหน้าเป็ด) and drizzled with duck juice is high up on the list. Head to Rawanstar… [Read More]
It’s not one of Thailand’s most flavorful $1 dishes… but that’s alright. Sometimes you just need something comforting, a dish to cleanse the palate and something soothing on the mouth and stomach. When this situation arises, Khao Man Gai (ข้าวมันไก่), Thai style chicken and rice is always waiting right around a corner in Bangkok. Chicken… [Read More]
I started the meal off with something very very different from duck: Khanom Thuay ขนมถ้วย. Yup, temptingly sitting at every single table at Bpet Sai Gaew เป็ดไส้แก้ว is a platter of fresh (and good looking) little coconut milk sweets. What a brilliant idea, put little Thai desserts on every table at a duck restaurant! Their business strategy worked… [Read More]
I’ve been a devout fan of all forms of biryani and chicken or beef since my days of growing up in Africa. On the coast of the island of Zanzibar I would always look forward to eating a plate of luscious African style Zanzibari biryani (which still remains my favorite in the world)! Khao Mok Gai ข้าวหมกไก่ in… [Read More]
Location: Bangkok, Thailand I’m a bit addicted when it comes to Khao Kluk Kaphi, a dish that I think ranks as one of the top Thai $1 meals. The basic dish consists of fragrant shrimp paste coated rice topped with shredded green mango, red onions, diced green beans and chilies, and a selection of sliced… [Read More]
