Glass noodles and prawns. Doesn’t sound exciting. And at 250 baht a bowl, it’s kinda expensive for Bangkok street food. But believe me, you just have to come and eat here.
One downside is the slightly long wait – around 40 minutes (at least when I went). So, if you’re wondering why it takes so long, check out the streetside kitchen and you’ll see why. One chef, four burners. Every move by this man is so precise and deliberate – and it shows in the food.
Result: Huge, ridiculously fresh prawns oozing with sea-sweetness, cooked to perfection. Glass noodles cooked al-dente complemented by the richness of pork fat, the heat of baby garlic, the tingle of Szechuan peppercorns and the freshness of spring onions.
My tip: let the sizzling pan in which you’re served this seafood delight cool, so that you can really enjoy the flavours. Then mix up and dig in.
You can also get the crab version: I will be back for this.
Address: Thanon Charoen Rat Soi 1, Khlong San, Bangkok
Opening hours: Mon – Sat 5pm – 10pm, Sun 4pm – 10pm (be warned: they sell out early!)

This place isn’t too hard to find. Go to Wongwian Yai BTS station, and exit towards Saraphi 3. Walk straight up Saraphi 3 for 5 minutes and you’ll hit Charoen Rat Soi 1.
