BBQ @ Bangkok

Street food is abundant in Bangkok and I particularly love their BBQ meats on skewer.

On the first day, we had lunch at Greyhound Cafe which we felt was just OK. Nothing was bad but nothing was outstanding either. Then dinner was at the multiple award winning restaurant Baan Khanita with the better half's boss. We thought it was HO HUM as well BUT then, the boss might have ordered the wrong stuff. Their website states the below as their popular dishes and we had none of it other than Tom Yam Khung(Lek Seafood's one was better!).

  • Kaeng Phed Ped Yang A-Ngun (Roast Duck Curry With Grapes)
  • Som Tam Song See (Spicy Papaya And Carrot Salad)
  • Tom Yam Khung (Spicy River Prawn Soup)
  • Yam Som O (Spicy Pomelo Salad With Shrimp And Chicken)
  • Khung Phad Sauce Makham (Deep Fried River Prawn With Tamarind Sauce)
  • Poo Nim Phad Prik Thai Dam (Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab Fried With Black Pepper Sauce)
  • Pla Krapong Phad Khee Mao (Stir-fried Sea Bass With Chili, Hot Basil, and Eggplant)
  • Plaa Khung Yang (Grilled River Prawn With Spicy Herb Salad)
So when we got out of our hotel on the second day, I was hungry for something tasty, something truly local and at it was right there at the corner. What can be better than greasy smoky sweet BBQ meat on skewers to tantalise the tastebuds? And I had the tastiest most delicious BBQ skewered chicken evaaah...

Then on the last day, I just needed more! Spied this cool fella telling me that there's something good at the end of the street.
