Khao ka moo, or pork leg stew is my ultimate Thai comfort food. I eat it at least once a week if not more. Slow cooked pork leg, simmered in five spice infused broth for hours until it’s falling off the bone. Served on top of steamed Jasmine rice with boiled eggs, which take on …
As the straight to the point name suggests, Muslim Restaurant is a place serving Islamic food in Bangkok. This no-frills restaurant in Bang Rak, right around the corner from Bangkok’s Lebua State Tower serves up some of the best Indian/Thai food in the city. Situated on Charoen Krung, Bangkok’s first paved road, Muslim Restaurant has …
If I had to pick the most eaten dish by the local residents of Bangkok, I’d have to go with boat noodles. For all of you that aren’t familiar with what boat noodles are, I’ll explain: Boat noodles or kuay teow reua as they’re known in Thailand are a noodle soup dish that contains both …
Last week in Bangkok, my friend Sine gave me some food that her mum Tar had prepared in Chiang Mai, and sent down to Bangkok frozen. This included Pad Thai, my all time favourite Thai dish of Khao Soi and another dish that’s very hard to find in Bangkok which is Lanna laap. The food …
My go to place for satay in Bangkok is usually Pratunam Kuang Heng Chicken Rice as I get dragged to Central world on a regular basis when my girlfriend wants to shop (which is a lot!). I go there not for the chicken rice as the name would suggest but for their awesome pork …

Sai ua or Chiang Mai sausage could be the best sausage you’ve never had! I acquired my love (or obsession depending on how you look at it) with Thai food when I landed in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand for the first time back in 2009. I’d never heard of Chiang Mai before I booked my …
I love wandering around Bangkok’s Western suburb of Wongwian Yai. It has yet to see any real number of tourists as up until a couple of years ago it had no BTS Skytrain station. Since the government extended the Silom train line out to Bang Wa, Wongwian Yai has become a lot more accessible. It …
Growing up in a North West London suburb with a large Asian community, authentic Indian food was never hard to come by. I have grown up surrounded by Indian restaurants, Indian sweet shops and cash and carries selling snacks, spices and fresh fruit and veg. In fact, I never realised how much I took for …
I decided to make the trip up to Chiang Mai this week with my friend Craig who’d been visiting us in Bangkok. He’s been up there a while and knows a lot of people so I thought I’d see if he could get me in with anyone cooking up there. Imagine my delight when …
