Street Food in Bangkok
Bangkok is a destination of colour, culture and most importantly cuisine. The heritage and the amalgamation of cultures in the city have ensured that the cuisine has developed into the wonderfully diverse mix of flavours and dishes it is today. The metropolis is famous for its nightlife as well as being a number one tourist destination. The food culture of the city is a tourist attraction by itself. From traditional food to dishes with an international influence, the food in Bangkok is a clear reflection of the heritage and culture of the country.
Street food scattered all over the winding boulevards of the city is a cultural dogma of its own. The meals are delicious and most of all, inexpensive, thereby is in line with anyone’s finances, be it a shoestring budget or if you are willing to spend a lot more. The food stalls are plentiful and there are high concentrations of them in busy areas. The vendors of these food stalls operate in groups and they are available around the clock, so whether you are looking for a mid afternoon snack after some thorough shopping or a bite to satisfy your hunger after a night out in the Bangkok club scene, food is always at hand for you at inexpensive rates. The stalls offer a wide variety of food. The most prominent are the noodle stalls, but you will also find made to order “curry on rice” stalls as well as many other options.
Unlike other major cities, Bangkok offers sanitary street food. The narrow cobbled streets are beautifully lined with ready-to-eat fresh fruit, snacks and cold drinks to soothe the most exhausted traveller under the topical sun. There are full scale food courts on some streets, curry houses and shop house restaurants for you to sit down and enjoy a meal. The cutlery is disposable and food is made to order, hence the sanitary and hygiene of the food available is ensured.
Bangkok street food vendors offer the customers the option of mixing one food with another in any ay to tickle one’s fancy. There are many different types of noodles, such as Sen Yai, Sen Mii, Sen Lek and Woon Sen; and all of these noodles can be eaten with steaming, flavoured broths or dry. Dishes like Phat Thai, Wonton Soup and Braised Pork are tourist favourites. Although there are many high end restaurants readily available in Bangkok, the street food experience in the country captures the true essence of the diverse and authentic cuisine.
If you are looking for a luxury hotel Bangkok that offers you the best of service and hospitality, then look no further that Anantara Bangkok Sathorn, a hotel that is conveniently located in the city to allow you ease of access to the streets teeming with food. This 5 star Bangkok hotel is an epitome of excellent service and accommodation.
