If you are given a chance to eat whatever you want in one night, what
will you eat? Delicious appetizers? Mouth-watering main courses? Or unlimited
desserts? So hard to decide, right?! It happened to me when I was in Bangkok. Thailand
Tourism Board along with Yuk Makan invited me to have a culinary journey in
Thailand. I stayed in the old part of the city, which only 5 mins walk away
from Yaowarat Road – the biggest Chinatown in Bangkok! If you are used to eat
Thailand dishes like Pad Thai or Tom Yum, Yaowarat will bring a special Chinese-Thai
fusion cuisines. Along the way, there are hundreds of hawkers, selling
different types of dishes. I was overwhelmed! Kudos to my super kind Thai bestfriends,
we are up to something awesome. So, what
to eat in Yaowarat??
1st Stop: Fish Maw Soup (Kra Pro Pla Nam Dang)
2nd Stop: Wonton Cha Siew Noodle at Mangkon Khao Stalls
3rd Stop: Thai-Chinese Rice Noodle (Kao Kai) at Kao Kai Ka
Tra Tong Lung Stall
When I came there, the chef yelled at me and disallowed me to take photos.
They also had rule that each person must order minimum 1 plate, if not than ‘Sorry-you-cannot-sit-with-us’
quote will go after you. The hawker itself was located in a shady alley in back
part of Chinatown. While the food was being served on the table, I was tad
shocked. It was very small and it could be finished in 4 bites! Despite its
size, after I chewed it… OMG, it was such a joyful experience! Salty rice
noodle mixed with iceberg lettuce and egg was never been that good. It was a
very simple dishes, but a very hearty meal and you can feel the sincerity on
it. The texture was al dente, and I
felt like I could eat plenty more of this. Lovely experience!
4th Stop: Thai Traditional Ice Dessert (Mam Kang Sai)
5th Stop: Pa Tong Go
After all the delectable dishes, I felt so full yet so mesmerized. I did
not expect that a food market like Yaowarat had many unrevealed culinary top
secrets! Yum yum! My friends also told me the durian stall and one fried bread
stalls in Yaowarat were one of the most famous hawkers ever. I wish I could eat
all of them without being fat. *Sighs* So, now you know what to eat (read:
must-eat!) in Yaowarat Chinatown. Let’s travel & eat together! Yuk Makan!
XOXO,
