Pad Thai

Sampling Pad Thai is a quintessential culinary experience here be it at streetside eateries or when dining at accommodation providers like Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel. This stir-fried noodle dish is the perfect harmony of sweet, spicy, sour, and umami. It features egg, bean sprouts, spring onion, and crushed peanuts, with your choice of shrimp, chicken, pork, or tofu. Pro tip: Squeeze some lime over it for that extra zing!

Tod Mun Pla
Think of these as Thai-style fish cakes with a serious flavour punch. Tod Mun Pla is made with minced fish mixed with red curry paste along with the addition of chilli and kaffir lime leaves, all deep-fried to crispy perfection. Dipping them in a sweet, sour, and spicy chilli sauce and savouring them as you enjoy the fun things to do around Bangkok is utterly rewarding!

Moo Ping
If you smell something smoky and delicious wafting through the air on your foodie adventures, it’s probably Moo Ping. These grilled pork skewers are marinated in a sweet, savoury glaze and charred over charcoal, making them gloriously tender and flavourful. Order a few skewers and have them with sticky rice for a Thai street snack that you can enjoy day or night!

Kanom Krok
Sweet, crispy, and wonderfully creamy, Kanom Krok are little coconut pancakes cooked in a special pan with round moulds. The outside is crisp, while the inside is warm and custardy with yummy coconut cream topped with corn, taro, or other sweet ingredients that street food vendors try out. Fair warning, you may start with one… and then suddenly realise you have eaten half a dozen!
