I was in Bangkok recently and this time, a friend and his wife as also in town and my wife and I invited them for dinner. We brought them to Somboon Seafood (a very popular seafood restaurant famous for its fried chlli curry crabs). As my friend also heard about the roast pig, we had a fairly light dinner (but I did not take any pictures) and then moved on to the roast pig.
There are a 3 such restaurants near Narathiwat Road, off Sathorn Road and we normally frequent this restaurants. We have been coming here for years and they now have a variety of serving the roast pigs. We normally have them 2 styles i.e. first just the skin and then cooked again. The second time, our favorite is deep fried with garlic.
I did not take a lot of photos that day. We also ordered some other light food (being our second dinner), Thod man pla (fried fishcake) and Som Tam (papaya salad). The restaurant actually have an extensive menu and also seafood...shown here.
The next day, I had to go to Chonburi province very near to Pattaya and nearby there is a very popular crab meatmall shop. They used to have a restaurant but apparently the owner is getting old and decided to only sell the frozen ones (before frying). You can just defrost and fry them up...super delicious.
They are now sold along this stretch of snack shops and restaurants on the way back from Pattaya to Bangkok.
I saw this bottle in the shop and upon nearer look, it is actually very small clams (still with its shell) soaked in fish sauce. Apparently it is very good with kao tom (boiled rice). I will remember to try this the next time.
Until the next time, cheers.
