Thai Street Food, Restaurants, and Recipes | Eating Thai Food
Satisfy yourself with the best Thai street food!
In my opinion, the Thai way of grilling a whole fish, is one of the best methods I’ve seen anywhere. A thick layer of salt crust covers the whole fish so the flesh inside keeps moist and succulent throughout the grilling process. And along, when eaten along with a garlic chili seafood dipping sauce, a […]
As soon as I walked up to take a photo of the roasted golden ducks hanging in the street food cabinet, I knew we were in for some grumpiness… … the owner, and duck hunter himself (well at least he roasts and slices them up), isn’t the friendliest street food vendor you’ll meet in Bangkok. […]
I’m really not joking… The grill at Bangkok’s “Dee Moo Satay” (ตี๋หมูสะเต๊ะ), is quite honestly the longest grill I’ve ever seen in my life, and it’s probably longer than the bus you took to school when you were a kid. The photo above shows less than half of the full grill, it’s that long! When […]
A few weeks ago I posted a video about pad see ew (ผัดซีอิ๊ว). Since the video was taken at just a tiny neighborhood restaurant, I didn’t publish the location. However, after the video, I received a number of requests about how to find that pad see ew. Here’s the video if you missed it… So I […]
I walked into Krua Aroy Aroy (ครัวอร๊อยอร่อย) with high expectations… It’s a very well known Bangkok local restaurant, in a very prime location, just south of downtown Silom, and directly across the Soi from Sri Maha Mariamman Hindu Temple (Wat Khaek). The restaurant has practically been written up in every major media outlet. Finally I was […]
All over the streets of Bangkok you’ll find mobile carts selling a fishy (more like squiddy) snack known as pla meuk ping (ปลาหมึกปิ้ง). Similar to moo dad deaw, it’s often hanging on a food clothesline, displayed for passerby’s to acknowledge, while at the same time air drying in that wonderful Bangkok air. Pinned up, you […]
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 […]
Khao kluk kapi (ข้าวคลุกกะปิ) is one of the finest and freshest single plate Thai dishes available. But unlike khao moo daeng or khao man gai that are available at countless restaurants throughout Bangkok, khao kluk kapi (ข้าวคลุกกะปิ) remains a little harder to find, often being sold in markets for takeaway consumption (rather than at sit down […]
55 Pochana (ห้าสิบห้าโภชนา), located just a short distance from Thong Lo BTS station, is a long standing Thai Chinese restaurant with a great reputation. Similar to Yong Lee, one of the best Thai restaurants we chose for 2012, 55 Pochana serves rich and dangerously flavorful dishes – and I’m quite sure there’s a lot of […]
While oftentimes Thai street food comes at very affordable prices, other rare times it can be expensive (relatively). But let me tell you, if you’re paying top prices for Thai street food, your money isn’t going towards the nice ambiance or the perfect service, you’re paying for high quality ingredients. Located just a 5 minute […]
