Traffic in Bangkok can be a nightmare and even more so in popular areas like Yaowarat, also known as Chinatown. Despite that, no traffic congestion was ever going to stop me from having the amazing crispy fried Oyster Omelette in Chinatown that David Thompson's been raving about on his "Thai Street Food" TV series. I was very excited to try.
Nai Mong Hoi Thod, an unassuming shophouse in Bangkok's Chinatown is famed for their killer Oyster Omelette. I swear it is the most delicious oyster omelette I've ever had and it's to die for. For a mere 70 baht (as of 2017), you can have it either with oyster or mussels.
Bangkok is a city populated with good eats and here in Yaowarat is where you'll find some of the best street foods in Bangkok. You'll find all kinds of strange and wonderful goods here.
An ingredient you often see in expensive Chinese restaurants, sea cucumbers. It is usually braised with abalone, black seaweed and broccoli. Any Chinese dish with sea cucumbers in it is usually priced dearer.
You can have these pickled tiny fresh crabs with Som Tam also known as Thai Green Papaya Salad.
Chinese buns in different colour and sizes.
Sweet rice cakes and fried vegetable buns or "tsai bao".
A bird's nest soup stall.
Here in Yaowarat you'll find a fantastic lineup of Thai street food.
One of the dishes you must try is this hot dessert called sesame balls in sweet ginger soup.
This was one of the reasons why we went to Yaowarat.
I love that strong flavour of ginger. It was refreshing and wonderfully delicious.
