Random in BKK

Street food

Fried Flowers

The packs above make these purple drinks below…

Traditional food you’ll find at Thai Weddings

At BKK - the locals’ way…

Location unknown. Was brought here by our thai friend for a simple lunch…

with our level of hungriness, it didn’t took us long to settle down and order… in fact, we were just glad that the busy buzzing flies were kind enough to give up their seats to us and in return, we shared our food with them… Nah, not really.

Just like our chinese meat balls but with thai sauce dipping

Clear soup fish ball noodle

The dried version with sugar… sugar?

Another clear soup one but with broad noodles

Personally I prefer this… Spicy thai style fish ball noodle

Both of these, top and bottom were made from egg yolk. The above is call Kanom Foy Tong. It is strands of sugary cooked egg yolk made from drizzling it through fine sieve.

This is the Luk-chup that I always thought will be extremely sweet. But I’m glad this didn’t turn me off and surprisingly I don’t hate it. Don’t forget to take the ceramic boat home with you cos you’ve paid for it together with the luk-chup.

Cheap food, natural ventilation, local ambience, and most importantly, not a single tourist. I like.

Typical eats in BKK

Tom Yam Kung – Hot & sour soup with prawn

Pineapple rice

Kao Niao Ma Muang – Thai Mango with sticky rice

Out of BKK…

Who will know its a restaurant?

This boat is what they used to transport rice in olden days

Thai fish cake Asparagus with meat from the giant prawn legs

Seafood soup

Creamy coconut base soup

Fried rice with creamy crab roe

Grilled fresh water giant prawn – must try!

I failed miserably to take down the address or even the food names but least I remembered to take photos. This restaurant is near the Summer Palace but you do need your own transport to get here. Good food!
