Chanthaburi is a town in Thailand that hasn't got the reputation it deserves when it comes to Thai cuisine. The place serves some epic dishes and here are some of them:
Well, it is a must to try all things "noodles' when in Asia. To your delight, in Chanthaburi, you'll be served with one of the best versions of it. When you order a bowl of Liang Pork noodles, you can expect a sight truly fabulous. With its rich broth and herbs, your taste buds will be asking you for more! The best part is, you can purchase a bowl for about 40 Baht. It's a steal!
If you're looking for a signature dish that will best describe Chanthaburi's food scene, the Moo Chamuang is one place you can go for and is very popular in East Thailand. People do wonder, why the popularity hasn't reached other parts, as it's that good! This dish is made out of sweet curry based on pork and served in leaves of the cha Muang tree. This tree is, in fact, found only these parts. The incorporation of the leaves gives the dish a fine texture making it crispy and crunchy. Some good restaurants sell the Moo Chamuang for about 12 Baht.
How about incorporating the best of seafood with noodles? Well then, Chanthaburi has crab fried noodles which assure the best version of the two, seafood and noodles. The tiny crabs are fried till they are deemed crispy and the noodles, on the other hand, are boiled in a special paste and it is sweet in taste. Furthermore, bean sprouts, garlic chives and other ingredients are added to add a boost to its flavours. If you're looking for a Chanthaburi restaurant to try these foods, you can check out properties the likes of Chatrium Golf Resort Soidao for a good dining experience.
The Tom Yam Seafood Noodles is another top pick that will make it into the list due to its absolutely flavoursome taste. The dish is made from leaves of kaffir lime, lemongrass, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions, all mixed with rice vermicelli noodles. With such ingredients added to the dish, can you imagine the taste of it? It goes above and beyond to 'wow' you. Rest assured, this might be one of your favourite dishes in this country! That's how good the flavour is.
This is a vibrantly coloured noodle dish which is another must try when in these regions. This is, in fact, a very popular noodle soup dish here and deserves to be tasted. What more? It has its own fan base too, the bright pink noodles. The best part of this dish is its toppings. The soup is added with squid, tofu, fish balls, pork, coagulated blood, and so on and the flavour is just sublime. That's not it though, they also add chillies, vinegar, soybeans paste, peppers, and fish sauces too! You can get a bowl for about 100 baht.
