Inseongie, I just realized I made a typo of your name on my last post's title. Oops😂
I'll put a warning here! This post contains many pictures and description of food. If you're hungry then please turn away and come back later when ready!
Pad-thai was mentioned by you in Sanghyuk's fancafe post today, so I want to recommend a popular restaurant that sells Pad-thai in my city just in case you visit Bangkok... just in case.😂
The restaurant name is 'Northeast', located at Silom, Bangkok. They sell generic Thai food with good taste and reasonable price. Apparently it's quite popular among Korean tourists these days. While I'm on my way to work, there's a line of tourists queuing in front of the restaurant before 11 a.m. everyday. I searched and found a few Naver posts about this restaurant too.
As a local, I love to eat here too because as I said, the food taste really good. They also do delivery!!
It seems like Pad-thai and Watermelon smoothie are popular go-to menus, but I'd like to recommend what I and my friends like to order as locals.
First we have Mushroom Tomyum.(ต้มยำเห็ดน้ำข้น) Tomyum-goong is way more well known, this one taste just like that (Sour, salty, mildly sweet, with herbal aromatic and creaminess of coconut milk) but without shrimp and there were variety of mushroom added instead. The Tomyum here is not spicy at all, actually it was a bit too sweet for me, but it's very nice to be paired with the next menu.
The second one is Khai Jiao Goong. (Thai style omelet with shrimp/ไข่เจียวกุ้ง) It may look plain, but it's actually my favorite! The fried egg was crispy on the outside and still juicy on the inside with chunks of shrimps. It's a very nice combination to eat with Tomyum broth!
The third one is Bu pad pong curry .(Stirred fried soft shell crab with curry powder/ปูผัดผงกะหรี่) This one is a very popular menu among tourists too. The savory creaminess of the egg-curry sauce goes very well with umami taste of crab. No fuss about crab shell too! Just top it on hot jasmine rice, that's the best way to eat it.🤤
The fourth one is Stirred fried baby cabbage with crispy pork belly. (แขนงผัดหมูกรอบ) It's a very simple but delicious menu! The baby cabbages are crunchy, sauce is very light but coated all the cabbages with wok-hei flavor very well.
The fifth menu, Somtam-Thai. (Papaya salad with corn and marinated black crab) Somtum is a Laotian inspired dish from North-eastern region of Thailand. Signature of Somtam-Thai is it's sweet, spicy, salty and sour with many kinds of crunchy textures from different fresh vegetables(Green papaya, carrots, Raw yardlong beans and tomatoes) and peanuts. The Somtam here taste very fresh and very tourists-friendly, which I like.
Lastly, I recommend Fried Chicken Knuckles to go with beer too. This savory and crunchy snack goes well with cold beer and conversation with old friends.💛
(Also behind this restaurant is a popular coffee shop called F.I.X Coffee. Their medium roasted F.I.X blend 아아 is my fav!💛 It's nutty with slightly sour taste. The baristas are lovely too, they always write cute messages on my cup.🥰)
I saw another artists enjoyed their time in Bangkok and couldn't help but want you guys to experience that too (if you guys want to and have time, of course!).
I know the chance of world tour that include South-east Asia is very slim, but I won't lose hope any time soon.😊🌟✨
