As the name suggests, Chalawan Khao Man Gai – จารุวรรณข้าวมันไก่ is known locally for their excellent Hainanese chicken rice but today I’m here to try their duck noodle soup. Duck noodle soup definitely isn’t a rare dish in Bangkok, in fact, on Charoen Nakhon Road alone, I can name a few shops off the top of my …
My wife, Helen, keeps telling me that I don’t post enough sweet things on my blog and social media. Since I now live by the motto ‘happy wife, happy life’ I thought I’d better listen. The reason I don’t write about many desserts is that I don’t have a sweet tooth. Therefore I don’t eat …
Over the Songkran holiday, we were lucky enough to try some fantastic home style cooking at a new riverside restaurant in Bangkok Noi. The restaurant’s name is Imm, which of course, translates to ‘full’ in Thai and that is precisely how we ended up leaving – absolutely stuffed! Imm is part of a beautiful new …

At least once a week, (sometimes more if I’m taking people on a food tour) you can find me scoffing roast duck at the Bangkok famous Prachak Roasted Duck on Bang Rak’s Charoen Krung Road. It’s my favourite place in the city for roast barbecue duck. Anytime I eat duck anywhere else, I’m generally disappointed …
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 …
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 …
