#1 Fried Chicken (Gai Tod)
This Thai Fried Chicken is out of the world. It’s even better and more addictive than the ones you get in fast food restaurants! The secret is in the marinade and batter and one will definitely not be enough.
Where > Street Food places such as Pratunam, outside Central World, Silom.
#2 Sweet Potato Balls (Kanom Kai Nok Krata)
It is lightly crisp on the outside and airily soft on the inside. Has the description enticed you yet? It’s so delicious that you can’t stop at just one ball. Till date, I have not found one in Singapore which matches it. The only place to get it is in Bangkok.
Where > Pratunam, outside Central World, Silom
#3 Fried Banana Pancake (Roti Gluay)
Thais love their food sweet and hence, their Banana Prata is topped with condensed milk. If you don’t like condensed milk, they also have options such as honey, nutella, chocolate, coconut, sugar and much more. If you want to add an egg to it, it is no issue as well. Do look out for the menu at the food cart and order something to your preference. The final product presented will be really appealing. Light, crispy and delicious.
Where > Street Food places, Pratunam, Khao San, Silom.
#4 Crepes (Kanom Bueang)
Crispy, soft, hot and cold crepes, with a variety of toppings. Singaporeans love it because it’s so much cheaper in Bangkok and the portion is big. You can get this easily in Pratunam Market but the one I recommend is “Yummy Crepe” as to me, the packaging makes it more convenient to eat and it won’t leave a mess!
Where > Palladium World Shopping G Floor (Pratunam), The One Park next to Central Ladprao, Asiatique The Riverfront or other brand of crepes at Pratunam Market and Platinum Fashion Mall.
#5 Waffle
Whenever I pass by BTS stations, I will be attracted to these waffles. They are small and hence easy to eat. It is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can choose fillings such as chocolate, cream or maple. It’s so simple yet so delicious. The aroma will attract you to buy it.
Where > The Waffle located at various BTS Stations and basement of Platinum Fashion Mall.
#6 Thai Fried Noodles (Pad Thai)
Whenever I pass by BTS stations, I will be attracted to these waffles. They are small and hence easy to eat. It is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can choose fillings such as chocolate, cream or maple. It’s so simple yet so delicious. The aroma will attract you to buy it.
Where > The Waffle located at various BTS Stations and basement of Platinum Fashion Mall.
#7 Tom Yam Goong Noodles
Tom Yum Goong is the national soup of Thailand and mixing it together with the popular Thai Rice Noodles, it becomes a double-hit combo. You can probably find this in many restaurants but the best is at Pee’Aor. Why? The Tom Yum is authentic, rich and creamy at the right level. Prawns used here are huge fresh prawns that is of quality.
Where > Pee’Aor, 68/51 Soi Phetchaburi 5, Between Soi 5 – 7, Phaya Thai, Ratchathewi. Opens Daily, 10am to 10pm, but I recommend you to call them before going down.
#8 Boat Noodles (Kway Teow Rua)
Where can you get traditional Thai Noodles, formerly sold on boats, at just 10 baht (S$0.40) per bowl? I guarantee you won’t stop at just one bowl as the portion is indeed small. You will see bowls stacked on every table. Come and experience for yourself! The place to get Boat Noodles is at Victory Monument. Which exact outlet? More information in the full post of Boat Noodles! Probably the easiest way to ask for directions is to show this picture to the locals.
Where > Sutyot Kuetiau Lua Payak, Victory Monument. Opens Daily, 11am to 9pm.
#9 Duck Rice
You can get Duck Rice / Noodles easily in Bangkok. But this one at Prachak Pet Yang , established since 1909 , has incredible roasted duck. This is also the place where I had the best Roasted Duck and Char Siew (Pork) Rice in my entire life! The duck and pork are marinated and roasted to perfection with every piece of meat so soft and tender. The special sauce that goes along with it just makes everything heavenly. It is a sweet and savoury mix of sauces with certain herbs and spices. Absolutely delicious.
Where > Prachak Pet Yang, 1415 Thanon Charoen Krung, Silom. Opens Daily, 8am to 8pm.
#10 Wanton Noodles
I guess this needs no further introduction since it’s now extremely popular and almost every other blogger is blogging about this place.
Where > SabX2 Wanton Noodles, 4/32-33 Soi Petchburi 19, Pratunam. Opens Daily 9:30am – 5:30pm.
#11 MK Restaurants
MK Restaurants are famous for their suki (steamboat). Ingredients wise, there is nothing to shout about but what makes it delicious is its chilli sauce provided. Dipping your cooked food into the sauce will make it more delicious.
Where > Major shopping centres such as Central World, Siam Paragon, Siam Square, Union Mall, etc. Opens Daily, 10am to 10pm.
#12 T&K Seafood
This is the place to go if you want cheap and good seafood. Seafood here is really cheap and the food is delicious. However, it may not be the most comfortable place for you to dine. There is outdoor dining by the roadside which has the most seats. The indoor dining is usually packed and it is extremely squeezy inside.
Where > T&K Seafood, 49-51 Soi Phading Dao, Yaowarat Road. Opens Daily, 4:30pm to 2am.
#13 Som Tum Nua
Another restaurant which perhaps needs no introduction as well. As the name suggests, they are famous for their Som Tum which is Papaya Salad. They have different varieties of Som Tum to suit you. They also serve other favourites such as their Chicken Wings which you definitely have to try!
Where > Som Tum Nua – Siam Square Soi 5 or Siam Centre Level 3. Opens Daily 11am to 9:30pm.
#14 Somboon Seafood
In Thailand, they are famous for their Curry Crab. The well known establishment for this dish is Somboon Seafood. For those who don’t want to dirty their hands, you can order crab meat in their curry sauce. The curry sauce goes extremely well with rice and almost every table licked their plates clean of the curry sauce.
Where > Somboon Seafood – Soi Chula 8, Surawong, Ratchada, UdomSuk, Sam Yan.
#15 After You Dessert Cafe
After You is famous for its Thick Toast and the bestseller is Shibuya Honey Toast. It has a crispy exterior but the secret is inside. The fluffy and soft centre absorbs the melted butter which is evenly spread, making it soft as a pillow. It is served with Vanilla Ice Cream and whipped cream.
Where > After You – Thonglor Soi 13 J Avenue, Silom Complex, Siam Paragon, Central World, Central Plaza Ladprao.
#16 Pandan Kuey
A snack which is more healthy as it’s not fried. This pandan kueh is warm, soft and chewy with a sponge-like pillow texture. You must eat this immediately after purchasing to understand how yummy it is.
Where > Siam Square (beside Novotel Siam Square), Wang Lang Market
#17 Crispy Pancake (Kanom Bueang)
A thin and crispy snack, it is just nice if you want something light without having to make yourself full! There are variations to this crispy pancake as they come in sweet or savoury fillings/toppings such as shredded coconut, chopped scallions or fried eggs / egg yolks.
Where > MBK Level 4, Talad Rot Fai Srinakarin, Asiatique.
#18 Mango Sticky Rice
There are many places in Bangkok selling Mango Sticky Rice. If you are lazy to travel, you can even get it at the food courts in major shopping centres, such as Platinum Fashion Mall, MBK and Terminal 21.
Where> 5 Must Try Mango Sticky Rice in Bangkok.
1. Mae Varee Mango Sticky Rice
2. Sukhumvit Soi 38
3. Boonsap Thai Desserts
4. Pratunam Sticky Rice (Beside Kaiton Chicken Rice)

#19 Thai Tea Crepe Cake
f you love Thai Tea, then you won’t want to miss out Thai Tea Crepe Cake from Audrey Café and Bistro. At Audrey, you dine in style as it is a stylish place with great ambiance and good food.
Where > Audrey and Petite Audrey. Opens Daily 11am to 10pm.
#20 Coconut Ice Cream
It is also something which you will never regret buying, unless you don’t take coconut. There are several stalls selling Coconut Ice Cream but the one I’m recommending is served in a coconut husk. You should be able to spot this store easily as it is always crowded.
Where > Chatuchak Weekend Market , entrance of Section 2, near Kamphaeng Phet MRT station.
#21 Thai Desserts
You will like Thai Desserts in Bangkok because you can practically choose what you want in your bowl. They don’t have pre-selected ingredients like Ice Kachang or Chendol. Ingredients are laid out before you, you select what you want to eat. Feel free to mix and match!
Where > Sukhumvit Soi 38, Rama 4 Road, Yaowarat Chinatown.
#22 Thai milk Tea
Thai Milk Tea (Cha Yen) is the national drink of Thailand, so if you have not drunk it, you can’t leave the country! Thai Milk Tea if done correctly should be sweet, milky and silky with a mixture of both tea and milk flavours. In Bangkok, chances are even the road side carts make good Milk Tea. But if you want the original, look for Number One Brand.
#23 Coconut Shake
After ordering, the juice, pulp and ice goes into the blender and is then poured into a bottle with the cap being punctured to have the straw inserted. And there you have your coconut shake, which you can enjoy with convenience.
Where > Siam Square Soi 3, just outside the side entrance of Digital Gateway. Opens Daily, 1pm to 8pm.
#24 Mont Nom Sod
At Mont, they are famous for their toast and milk. Thais are known for making simple food staples like bread into delicacies, using the simplest ingredients. Their best selling toast flavour is Original Coconut Custard and Condensed Milk. In fact, the coconut custard is similar to “Kaya”, just that it has a stronger coconut taste and is less sweet as compared to Kaya. The bread is also crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.
Where > MBK Level 2. Opens Daily, 11am to 9pm.
#25 Ice Manias
ou can choose your ice cream flavour, toppings and syrup. It’s so delicious and you can still taste some bits of oreo and banana even after it is crushed. Initially, I thought this would taste like cheap ice cream, but I was wrong. It’s good!
Where > Siam Square One, Asiatique. Opens Daily, 11am to 9pm.

#26 Grilled Honey Roast Pork (Moo Yang)
This is a hidden shop in Chatuchak Weekend Market. It is the best honey roasted pork chop I have ever eaten. All the flavours are retained in the meat, making it sweet, soft and tender. You can even order a bun to go with it.
Where > Moo Yang Nam Peung, Chatuchak Weekend Market, Area 22, Soi 4.
#27 Grilled Pork (Moo Ping)
The end product of this Moo Ping is a sweet, succulent and tender piece of meat on a stick. This particular stall, Moo Ping Hea Owen is recommended by many locals but you can still find good ones around even in Pratunam Market.
Where > Silom Soi Convent, Central Embassy or other Street Food places.
#28 A&W
This is one of the fast food restaurants that many would want to visit to bring back some good old memories when A&W was still in Singapore. What are the missed items? Waffles, Curly Fries, Coney Dog and definitely A&W Rootbeer!
Where > Pantip Plaza, Siam Square, Union Mall. Opens Daily , 8am to 9pm. Union Mall opens only at 11am.
