Bangkok is a shoppers haven, but it is also a foodie's paradise. The place is so well loved for its amazing variety of food that you are stuck for choice at just about every street corner.
Juicy tender and succulent pieces of pork on a stick are what Moo Ping is all about. The charcoal grill adds loads of flavour to the meat which when cooking emanates the most heavenly flavours. There are many stalls specialising in this around the Pratunam Market while Moo Ping Hea Owen comes highly recommended by the locals.
Much tastier than those served at the fast food restaurants, this delicious Thai fried chicken when eaten on a street corner is going to be the best fried chicken you ever tasted. The secret is in the aromatic marinade and batter that renders the meat with a crispy golden brown.
Krata means quail eggs which denote the size of the balls. Bangkok is voted to be the best place for this tasty snack and remains unmatched anywhere else. Sweet potato balls are very crispy and golden coloured on the outside while the inside is a soft fluffy treat; definitely one of the best aspects of dining in Bangkok.
This snack is considered a more healthy option as it is not fried. Panda is a soft rubbery type of sweet that's spongy and pillowy. Eat it as soon as you purchase the sweet and flavours will be double.
A light crispy pancake or crepe Khanom Bueang is available as either a sweet or savoury snack. Do try the different variations and you will love the light fresh snack that is not too heavy or filling. Fillings will vary between shredded coconut, sweet corn, fried eggs and chopped or fried scallions. Widely available at Pratunam Market these delicious treats are not expensive and come in generous portions.
Head over to the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market not too far from AVANI Atrium Bangkok; there you can ask around for the secret stall that specialises in honey roast pork. The meat retains the exotic flavours that go into its marinate and is a soft juicy treat that has a lightly crispy golden exterior. The flavour is a mix of sweet and savoury that's just right. Order a bun with the meat and you have a hearty meal to enjoy.
This is a pancake that comes with a variety of toppings. Light and crispy the pancake comes with a richly sweet topping of condensed milk; if you prefer something else look at the listed menu on the cart. Other toppings include Nutella, honey, coconut, sugar and chocolate.
