with offal and a side of crispy pork belly ralph ordered the guay jub it’s a different kind of noodle love the soft textures playing off the crispy pork sam ordered the crispy pork belly with rice

at night better to go in the day time the exciting chaos of yaowarat road this chicken rice shop was recommended to us by the owner of billi’s so affordable for only 60 baht ($1.8 USD) nice, comforting bowl of chicken soup didn’t expect the chicken liver to be the star of the show the texture is deliciously creamy and it’s seasoned in a light soy sauce our tip: pick the boiled hainanese chicken instead of the fried one creamy liver good morning, chinatown today we’re using the ASAI Bangkok Chinatown guide chinatown is just huge sprawling there’s a lot of streets you can meander
