Khao Kha Moo, Charoen Saeng Silom

Price: From USD $1.50-2 / approx. 40-50 Baht (The whole pork leg costs USD $8 / 240 Baht)
Address: 492/6 Charoenkrung Soi 49, Charoenkrung Rd, Bangrak, Bangkok 10500. Coordinate here
Getting there: Charoen Saeng Silom is in the alley (Soi 49), across State Tower Silom close to intersection between Silom Rd and Charoen Krung Rd. Nearest BTS station is Saphan Taksin Station.
Contact: 02-234-8036, 02-234-4602
Opening hours: Daily from 8.30am to 1.30pm



This legendary food stall has served hungry locals for over 50 years. What makes people keep coming back to Charoen Saeng Silom, is the size of pork trotters and a very unique sweet taste of the meat and broth.
Each pork trotter weighs about 2kg and is braised in the combination of Chinese herbs and spices for over 4 hours daily. So every bite that you take, the meat practically melts in your mouth.

Apart from the trotter, you can also order the pig knuckle (Kha-Ki) which has more crunchiness. It’s considered a delicacy and usually runs out in the first hour. You can also order pig’s small intestines, tendons, heart and tongue.

Voted the best Moo Grob (crispy pork belly) for many years for its famous super crispy skin, the Moo Grob here is so crispy that every time you take a bite, you can hear that shattering crisp sound in your ears.

Conveniently located next to Ari BTS Station, it’s hard to miss because you’ll notice a row of delicious-looking crispy pork belly hanging in front of the restaurant.

The popular dish is Kho Moo Grob which serves crispy pork belly over rice, douched with sweet gravy sauce and the sides of a half soft boiled egg and Chinese sausages.

Lim Lao Ngow – old-school fishball soup

Address: Songsawat Rd., Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100.
Telephone: +66 081 640 4750
Opening Hours: 7PM-11PM



Lim Lao Ngow has been selling its famous “bouncy” fishball noodles in Yaowarat for over 80 years. Their Fishball Noodles with Soup (฿40, ~USD1.30) comes with several options for noodles, such as flat rice noodles and egg noodles.

One topping we enjoyed was the slices of fried hue kueh, or fried Chinese fish sausage. It was flavourful and went nicely with the noodles. In fact, their toppings were so good we decided to order them separately for ฿50 (~USD1.70).

Another dish to try is their Dry Egg Noodles with Fishballs (฿40, ~USD1.30). This is prepared with a dash of Chinese black vinegar, which adds a nice sour tang to the dish. Also, the egg noodles are chewy and springy, without having any overly floury taste.

Thai regulars usually order a plate of crispy Moo Grob as an appetiser, which comes with dark sweet soy sauce for dipping while waiting for the noodles.
This is by far, one of the crispiest pork belly you will find in Bangkok.

Looking for something to tantalise your taste buds? You’ll love the intense peppery flavour of the soup at Mr. JO. It’s served with curly rice noodles as well as pork innards that you can choose.

And of course it’ll come with slices of crispy pork belly. Surprisingly, the skin stays crispy even after it’s soaked in the soup!

Location: Soi Texas, Yaowarat, Bangkok
Opening Hours: Tue-Sun: 6:30PM-0:30AM (closed on Mondays)

Nestled within Soi Texas is Pa Jin, where you can get fresh cockles to feast on. A plate costs ฿100, and you can choose to have them either raw or boiled.

Dipping these morsels in the shop’s special sauces is a must!

The boiled cockles were slightly more tender and mild as compared to the raw ones, which we preferred.

KRUA PORN LAMAI

Open: Tue-Sun 6 pm – 2 am
Phone: 099-249-5414
Address: Food stall outside 62 Plaeng Nam Rd (Plang Nam Rd)
How to get there: There is no Skytrain (BTS) or underground (MRT) in Chinatown, but they are building one in Charoen Krung close to Yaowarat Road. That doesn’t really help you today, so until then, one option is to take the Metro to Hua Lamphong, 6 metro stops and 12 minutes away from MRT Sukhumvit station, which also interlink the BTS station Asoke (Terminal 21 shopping centre). If you take the BTS Silom line you can change at Silom and take the MRT from there, 2 stations heading west. If you take a taxi from Hua Lamphong, insist on using the meter (as elswhere in Bangkok). Walking to Yaowarat road is 7-8 minutes. It’s another 3 minute walk from the hotel Shanghai Mansion in Yaowarat road. Just turn right when you get to the intersection Yaowarat Road/Plaeng Nam Road coming from the Hua Lamphong direction and you will see Krua Porn Lamai with the kitchen on the left side.

An option is the river express (Chao Phraya River Express), if you want to avoid the traffic. Get off at the Ratchawong Pier, and walk up from Ratchawong Road to Sampeng Lane and Yaowarat Road. A third option are buses – look for the number 1, 7, 8, 37, 49 and 75.



Porn Lamai is a legendary street food vendor. A volcanic hot plate is put in front of you before they start pouring the gravy over a stir-fried egg where it all continues to cook. It’s fancy, it looks good and the rad na phu khao fai tastes great. In addition, Porn Lamai is a rather atmospheric spot.
Top dishes are rad na phu khao fai (gravy noodles cooked on a volcanic hot-plate), sukiyaki, Hoy Tod (mussel/oyster omelet) and taro kua (stir-fried fish snacks). The plates starts at B60 and ends around B100. Porn Lamai is still mostly visited by Thai’s, with some tourist occasionally joining in. An English menu is a wish that doesn’t come true, so be prepared before coming here, or use the finger and point to someone’s plate on one of the other tables that looks attractive.
You might be turn off by the look of the stall and the food laid out in the open kitchen, but don’t worry. They have a good turnover, and any bacteria that might be present is definitively sent to the eternal hunting ground by the smoking hot iron plate. Porn Lamai has been like this for decades and if Gordon Ramsey can eat here, so can you.

The Radna is a mix of prawns, squid, chicken and vegetables brought to you on the before mentioned iron plate. When the cook pour the gravy over the food and the burning hot iron plate, it gets smokey, it becomes cool and it tastes damn good. Don’t even think about touching it. The vegetables are al dente and crunchy, and makes you almost feel healthy. You actually feel well taken care of here at Porn Lamai, not very typical for a street food vendor that base it’s business on hight turn overs to keep prices low.

Krua Porn Lamai is a street food shack, but not a typical one. Porn Lamai is actually quite atmospheric with tables on both side of the street. I would call it a good spot to impress your food addicted darling as an insider of the local scene, if you have one. The preparations takes place on a small station on the side walk of the street. The waiters are constantly crossing the street withe smoking hot plates and smiles.

Eating here is getting as local as it gets in Bangkok. The spot is almost always full due to it’s goodness served all evening. They are famous for their sizzling hoy tod and Rad na. The st

Situated in Wang Lang area (near Siriraj Hospital) , Southern Thai natives who came to Bangkok congregated and made themselves feel at home in the area. Now it’s well-known for a place to go for good and affordable Southern dishes.

Pak Tai Ruam Tai has been serving the neighbourhood for over 30 years with over 50 menu options daily with some non-Southern dishes included.
There are many kinds of curry, but be warned, it’s SPICY. Apart from the must-eat Yellow Curry and Stink Beans with Prawn Stir Fry, Kau Kling Moo (Pan Roasted Ground Pork with Dry Curry) is great too.

The ground pork is mixed and cooked in dry curry and kaffir lime leaves that provides an excellent taste and aroma.
