Bangkok is the best city to experience shopping, nightlife, sightseeing, and food. The food in Bangkok is second to no other, and the street food joints are a delightful addition. These food stalls and small restaurants not only serve you steaming hot Thai dishes but also a variety of other cuisines as well. Here are some of the crowd-favourite restaurants and food joints in Bangkok.
Always bustling with a queue, Thipsamai Pad Thai is where you can hunt for the best Pad Thai in the city. Not only it is popular for their Pad Thai, but for the 2 varieties of how it's served, wrapped in egg, or without. You can pair their tangerine juice for a mouthwatering combo of a wholesome meal. If you're staying in any apartments near Chao Phraya River, such as the Somerset Riverside Bangkok, it's only a 15-minute ride for you to get here.
Jay Fai is a renowned chef in the world who launched the Raan Jay Fai where you will get to taste some of the best signature dishes in your lifetime. Her specialities such as the crab omelette, stir-fried prawns, yellow curry crabs and the drunker noodles will take you to a foodie heaven. It is a must-visit Bangkok restaurant where you'll have no regrets.
If fine dining is what you wish for, Suan Bua Thai restaurant gives you the ambience paired with the best menu for a great experience. You can try their river prawn in lotus leaves, tom goong yang prung sod Rama V (a mouthful to pronounce), or the Phuket sea snail curry as they are some of the best dishes in this restaurant.
Soei is where you can find the best appetizer to tantalise your tastebuds. The signature kaem pla too tod is fried Indian mackerel cheeks paired with chilli sauce. You can also encounter some more mackerel dishes such as chu chee pla too, mackerel cooked in coconut milk. If you pair these with rice, it will instantly become the most wholesome meal you can have!
Nhon Rim Khlong is possibly the best street food stall in Bangkok where you can expect a few minutes of waiting due to its popularity. Pad kee mao crab, stir-fried chunks of crab mixed with vegetables, onion, garlic, ginger, basil, and chilli is the most famous dish here. You can also test galalm bee pad nam pla neua boo, stir-fried crab meat and shrimp with cabbages.
As the name suggests, Pe Aor is the best place for you to try a succulent tom yum goong with the most authentic taste in town. The rich tom yum broth is creamy in texture due to the non-fat milk they use for the broth. The soup is also infused with fat shrimp heads to give a hint of taste. You can also try their kuay teow tom yum goong nam khon during your visit.
