Krua Porn Lamai
Krua Porn Lamai is a typical street food shack for those who enjoy eating like locals, and by that, we mean 'really local'.
The humble cooking station is on one side of the street and the tables are on the other, lined against a sooty wall so the waiters have to constantly cross the busy street with boiling hot plates. Despite its shabby appearance, and just like most restaurants in Bangkok Chinatown, Krua Porn Lamai is always full, but for the first-timer, it takes a bit of courage to pick this place (don't expect an illustrated English menu, all you have is a shortlist written in Thai above the cart).
Famous for its sizzling hoy tod (mussels and bean sprouts omelette served on a cast iron plate) and for its even more sizzling rad na. Rad na is a mix of prawns, squid, chicken and vegetables also brought on an iron dish. Other recommended specialities are guay taew kua krob (stir-fried crispy noodles) and taro kua (stir-fried taro snacks).
