Generally the portion of Thai food is small compared to Malaysian food and the price is cheap too, especially hawker food.
From a restaurant called I-taste cafe
My sister's Thai colleague bought us to this cafe near Standard Chartered Bank. I can't remember which street but it's where all the local people frequently visits. We also found out that after being served, most of the pretty 'waitresses' in the restaurant are actually 'waiters' when they said "Sawatdeekaa".
Prices are reasonable. For 3 of us, the total bill came to 600 baht on these foods ...
Tom yam kung (nice)
Green curry chicken (heavy on coconut flavor but lack spiciness)
Fried calamari (dip with their special chili sauce ... yummy)
Pineapple fried rice (delicious with chunks of pineapple pieces, shrimp, cashew nuts, egg and ham)
Stir-fried veg with pork salad (this is good stuff)
Thai tea (too sweet for me)
From MBK Food Court
Daily coupon system. If you are having dinner there, make sure you get your refund before 9.00 pm as the counters will be closed after the specific time and you can't get your money back the next day. We nearly miss the timing by 5 mins!
Pad Thai with shrimp (can't eat much because of the sweetness in the noodle ... my cousin sister had Pad Thai for 2 days in a row and end up having the "Pad Thai feeling" stuck in her throat!)
Pork noodle (not sure what they use for the soup but it's so good)
From Chatuchak Weekend Market
There are a lot of flies in the food court area because of the presence of fish sauce on every table (very irritating). We had to use the batteries-operated fan to chase them away! Most of the food vendors can't speak English, so we communicated using international sign language!
Beef noodle - 20 baht
Mini pancakes - 20 baht for 1 box
From Damnoen Saduak floating market
You can buy the food from the boat or dine on specific areas on the platform.
Pork noodle - 20 baht (so so only ... the soup tasted like plain water but luckily also because then we will know that they didn't use the water from the Chao Phraya river as main ingredient)
Grilled chicken wing - 10 baht each (absolutely delicious)
Spring rolls - 20 baht (surprisingly good)
Mango with sticky rice top with coconut milk - 30 baht (the mango is so delicious and sweet)
Coconut with cream pancake - 20 baht for 4 pc
Fresh coconut - 10 baht each
We didn't have 5 meals in a day as we are more keen on shopping.
This is my last entry on the Bangkok trip. Overall we had a fantastic time and highly recommend Bangkok as an economic and fun holiday destination.
