Charged Price: THB85 per person without alcohol
Visited: 7 December 2015

Scale: [1=poor ---- 5=average/standard ---- 10=outstanding/exceptional]

Kuai Chap is a classic Chinese style noodle soup dish that I have been fallen in love with since I was a young boy. Kuai Chap is simply rice noodle soup with variety of pork organ. In brief, there are 2 types of Kuai Chap in Thailand: one with clear type of broth which yields in fresher result in palate and the other one with thicker type of broth which is packed with flavour. It surely depends on your style and different stores do offer its own style of broth. For Kuai Chap Mr. Joe, it is the former kind of broth.

If you are going to visit Kuai Chap Mr. Joe, forget for those public transports you may be aware of: local bus only otherwise just drive. There is no parking space available at this rather big store of street noodle. So use your luck to find a parking lot along the road. Surely you will find one as this road is not so jam. It is on Thanon Chan and is not far from Thanon Charoen Krung at all. During lunch time, please do expect to see queue but it usually won't take long. Staffs here work pretty much fast and efficient. Bare in mind that this Kuai Chap place only operates to around mid afternoon. So no dinner at this joint.

Kuai Chap Mr. Joe @ Chan Road, Bangkok

very busy lunch

the place was packed with foodie

another corner, this is a rather spacious noodle joint

For us, we did try both Kuai Chap (8/10) with and without soup. The one without soup gave nice flavour of fried garlic. Nice touch of noodle. Ingredients were fresh. For noodle soup, this was definitely more aromatic and refreshing. But personally it won't be so good on a hot hot day. We did also taste crispy pork belly (7/10). Wonderful texture: crisp skin, tender meat, and juicy.

In short, if you are a local, it won't be difficult for you to pay this place a visit. However, for traveller, it can be tedious to reach this Kuai Chap place. Unless you stop by during lunch on your way to Asiatique which is not far from this place. Anyway, it is good and is worth a visit.

Khanom Khrok Bai Toei @ Chan Road, Bangkok - ขนมครกใบเตย @ ถนนจันทน์ กรุงเทพฯ

Cuisine: Thai Dessert
Price: THB20 per box (what we paid for at the time)

Khanom Khrok Bai Toei or Khanom Khrok Singapore is a kind of Thai snack (not really sure where the word Singapore comes from) with pandan and coconut milk as the key ingredients. It would usually come in a bite size. The colour is green with beautiful aroma of pandan and soft texture. Khanom Khrok Bai Toei can be found widely. For Bangkokian, the most famous one would probably be the one at Siam Square.

The one in this blog is at Chan Road (near Soi Chan 44). Khamom Khrok Bai Toei here is delicious. It is a little different from others that the size of each one is really tiny. However, the aroma and texture are pretty nice. This is just a small stall. They do sell Khanom Khrok Bai Toei from morning until run out which can differ from day by day. At the I was there, only 3pm and they were done for the day but sometime they do sell until late evening. There are 3 flavours to be chosen from: the original pandan, chocolate, and melodorum scent (น้ำนมแมว). Apart from Khanom Khrok Bai Toei at Siam Square, I do also like this one at Chan Road. Even when it is cold, it is still nice and soft. Having it with tea is also a complement. If you happen to be around Chan Road, why not give it a try.
