For Chinese New Year today, I found some special Thai / Chinese Herbal Mutton Soup (Sup Pae) and Hainanese Noodles (kuay teow hailam / khanom jeen hai lam) at a shophouse restaurant called Hainanese Noodles – ขนมจีน ไหหลำ. As soon as I saw all the clay bubbling away on charcoal outside, I knew this was …
So, my friend Rosie had decided that she had to go to a place called the Rabbit Cafe, which as the name suggests, is a cafe full of rabbits. To say I wasn’t keen is an understatement, but eventually, I caved and found myself in a taxi, heading all the way out to Lad Prao, …
Talat Phlu Ocha is an old school, no frills shophouse restaurant selling excellent beef noodle soup, located on Lat Ya Road in Bangkok’s Khlong San area which is on the west side of the Chao Phraya River. If you’re staying on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, you have to check this place out, you’d be …
For me, there’s not too much in life that’s more comforting than good, home cooked Muslim Thai food so any time I have the opportunity to try somewhere new in Bangkok, I jump at the chance! My usual go to spot for Muslim-Thai cuisine is Muslim Restaurant on Charoen Krung in Bang Rak. That could …
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 …
Guay Teow Kua Gai wasn’t always my favourite fried Thai noodle dish. In fact, I didn’t even know what they were until I came to Bangkok. I, like most people, only knew about pad Thai and pad see-ew. Both of those dishes are mainstays on any Western Thai restaurants menu, and neither of which would …
If you ask where to go for khao mun gai in the Pratunam area, people will automatically point you in the direction of one of two places; either they will tell you that you have to go to the ‘pink shirts’ – Pratunam Chicken Rice or they will send you to the ‘green shirts’ – Kueng Heng. This …
Bangkok’s Chinatown is bursting with street food day and night, so if you don’t have an idea of where you’re going to eat, it can all get a bit overwhelming. Luckily while you’re trying to figure it all out, you don’t have to go hungry. If you’re heading to Chinatown on the Chaopraya Express Boat, …
(Edited 2018) Is there anything better than crispy, deep fried pork belly? I’m not so sure! Moo krob as it’s known in Thailand is sold all across Bangkok, but I keep hearing about the so called ‘crispiest pork in Bangkok, ‘ and I thought it was about time I went and checked it out for …
Now it’s not often I find myself walking down Bangkok’s Sukhumvit Road; it’s an exhausting exercise looking for decent food while trying to avoid the overzealous suit sellers and tuk-tuk drivers. If I’m being honest, I’m not a massive fan of this side of Bangkok. Sure, there are some lovely restaurants if you want to …
