Aside for its cultural and shopping experience, Bangkok is also popular with their foods! There are varieties of foods that you should definitely try. And the happiest thing is they got so much cheap price for foods.  On this post, I will give you information and review about foods that I ate at Bangkok. So, here it is! Oh, and check my other culinary experience at Seoul and Busan :)

1. Fish Soup with Rice

Fish soup is a common food at Bangkok and you can find it easily anywhere. As its name, they serve rice with fish stock soup in a bowl. It has fish fillets, some mushrooms, carrots, and sprinkles it with celery. The soup was really fresh and had a clean feeling for your body. This fish soup taste mild and healthy for me. Adding some chili soy sauce would be perfect. I ate this soup near victory monument; I don’t really remember the name of the restaurant. That time, we were just hungry and decided to eat whatever food that attracts us. The one that I remember is it was a small and friendly restaurant. They didn’t even have English on their menu. So yes, I ordered by looking on the menu’s photos. 

2. Pad Thai

Pad Thai is one of the most popular foods at Bangkok and it is known internationally. It is basically a stir fry rice noodle. They use so many ingredients to cook this amazing dish such as chicken fillets, eggs, tofu, shrimp, bean sprouts, garlic chives, radishes and many more. Sometimes it also can contain other seafood ingredients like crab or squid. Then, Pad Thai will be served with chopped roasted peanuts. It has a little bit fresh sour taste from tamarind pulp. The one that I ate was Chicken Pad Thai and they sprinkled it with some dried prawn. I found this dish in one of many food stalls at Rod Fai Train Market. Same as fish soup, Pad Thai is also a very well known local dish from Thailand and you will find it easily anywhere at Bangkok. 

3. Salt Coated Grilled Fish

Pratunam (in front of Platinum Fashion Mall) is one of the famous street food and local restaurant area. You can find so many foods here. I went there and saw so many stalls along the way grilling on some kind of fish. They grilled it on the street while asking people to buy. It turned out to be a salt coated grilled fish. Then I bought it to filling my curiosity. I have to say that this dish was not my favorite. The fish was kind of smelly and so fishy. I thought it will be salty and savory but it just plain. However, for those who are grilled fish lovers you should try this. Maybe I was not on my luck that day.

4. Banana Pancake 

You know that we always have room for a dessert! Still at Pratunam area, there is one common sweet dish that called banana pancake. It is different from a usual pancake that we eat when breakfast. This dish actually similar with Martabak Telur however topped with banana. They will whisk some eggs then fried in butter while adding bananas. On top of that, they sprinkled some sugar and condensed milk. The taste is sweet because of caramelized bananas. I think it would be good to be eaten with a glass of hot coffee.

5. Coconut Ice Cream 

Coconut Ice Cream is a very well-known and famous dessert from Bangkok. As its name, they serve some ice cream inside a coconut bowl. Then, they will add the coconut meat itself and some jellies; last they will sprinkle it with some peanuts. This dessert really matches with Bangkok’s hot weather. It was sweet and refreshing. Coconut Ice cream can easily found at weekend or local market. There are also some mobile stalls that sell this sweet dish.

6. Mango Sticky Rice
