There is plenty of Thai food you rarely see on the menu in Europe or the US. The very tasty Suki Haeng comes high on that list. Don’t ask me why, it’s a puzzle I don’t have the answer to. Suki Haeng is the “dry” fried version of Sukiyaki (hot pot), basically [Read more]

Once upon a time the two noodle stalls next to each other, 150 meters into Sukhumvit Soi 26, used to be one stand. When the original owner died, his two sons took over and expanded the place.

The kuay jab nam sai (noodles in broth) restaurant in Soi Rang Nam has more than 10 years on it’s back. The soup has a peppery spiciness and a rich garlicky aroma.

Khao Moo Daeng Pathom Lert Rod

I have to admit that I tend to like some of these smaller vendors far into the more narrow streets (Soi) in Bangkok. Pathom Lert Rod is one of them, serving delicious Khao Moo Daeng (rice with barbecued red pork). On top they throw in pieces of delicious chinese sausage (kun chiang). And this [Read more]

The boat noodles (kaui ciao) at Doy Kuai Tiao Neua is amazingly good, packed with flavors. I guarantee it will surpass even your wildest expectations.

Thai Charoen in Chinatown serves delicious home made food

September 12, 2016 // 0 Comments

Thai Charoen was another one of those coincidences. I walked around in Chinatown, along Charoen Krung Road, and spotted some colorful squids on display. Of course I got curious, as I love squid, but the strange thing is that I have walked the road plenty of times. I have no idea why I [Read more]
