Thai Food is Made to SHARE!
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
Frequently in Bangkok you stumble into a street food cart that’s so deliciously attractive you simply can’t pass without stopping. Along the Bangkok street food haven of Petchaburi Soi 5 is a man who sells moo dad deaw (หมูแดดเดียว), a Thai street meat that any carnivore will appreciate. His cart looks like it’s been rolled […]
