Seng!

Simply use this word "Seng" to express your irritated mood from a disappointment. For example, you've spent good 30 minutes queuing for your afternoon tea break.. and then when it's your turn, the bloody scone (which were the reason why you queued at the first place) was sold out! That's when you say Seng Woi!!

Kanom Pang Wan, sweet bread

Look closely under the pink ice you'll find sliced breads that will later absorb the syrup very well. Great snacks on a hot day.

This one is quite special though as any other vendor will only roughly crush the ice and top with syrup, followed by sweet condensed milk.  This one blended the ice with syrup, packed it in this shape..

Kuay Chap Nam Sai

There're 2 kinds of Kuay Chap, nam sai is this one with clear soup.  The other Nam Kon is in brown soup and that's nice too..

Kuay Chap is made of flat noodle.. but the flat noodle is rolled like a thick straw.. I don't know how they do it. The soup is really peppery hot and tastes very, very gooood!!!  Normally this noodle soup will serve with all kinds of meats (intestines, liver, heart, lungs) but if you're not the fan of the inside organs, ask for pork only..  Here we have crispy pork (Moo Grob) and normal pork meat.. 

This is how the shop looks like..

Kuay Chap Nai Ake

The place is in China Town.. and there're other shops selling the same thing.  They're all nice.

Hoy Tod Pang Krob, crispy oyster pancake

Inside is lots of oysters.. in the back is another type of fried noodle but they made it crispy here so both look the same. This looks close to the original Hoy Tod at least.. Hoy is shell by the way.


Food is really good here. Don't let the shop location bother you.. this is Bangkok!!


Don't take him wrong either :) He was serious about his job and a seriously good cook!!

Kuay Teaw Lord, Chinese style flat noodle

Great for mid-day or late-night snacks as this is quite light.

The noodle is mixed with the brown, Chinese light sauce, bean sprouts, tofu, mushrooms, sometimes intestines (but I swear you can't tell it's an intestine because in the sauce everything tastes the same.. no smell).. and lots of crispy, chopped garlic

The orange bits on the flat noodle are actually dried shrimp.


Noodles are kept in little baskets.. thin noodle is also an option


My dish.. the gold pot has all the stuff


Another shop selling the same thing


Little baskets and stuff in the bowl to put on your noodle


These are in China Town (Yaowarat) by the way. The dish costed me about 30-40 Baht which was quite expensive.. anywhere else should be 20-30 Baht.

Ponlamai, fruits

From the top, clockwise.. Sap-pa-rot (pineapple), Tang Mo (watermelon), Ka-noon (jack fruit), Chom Poo (rose apple), Som O (pomelo), and then Ma-nao, lime, to put on Ma-la-kor (papaya) or Sap-pa-rot.


Ma Fuang, star fruit


Som O, pomelo -- Thais look at this as a kind of orange (Som)


Kaew Mang-korn, dragon fruit


Farang, guava..
Thais also call caucasian foreigners as Farang as well, by the way:)

Tam Sua: mixed salad (only for the brave!!) :D

It's hard to describe this.. but in essence it's really a mixed salad for the brave. This is a variation of Som Tam adding some crabs (the black bits), cold rice noodle and smelly fish.. hard core stuff!
