Bangkok Gila

This eatery has been around for more than 100 years and withstand 4 generations apparently. Queue wasn’t as bad. Wait is quite long. I ordered: Roast Platter (100baht) with roast duck, mixed pork sausage, Chinese sausage, siew yoke, char siew; duck neck, duck gizzard liver and one I don’t know. Egg noodles was springy, but dry and tasteless (no sauce nothing), mixed pork sausage was good, others were really just unimpressive. I think KL has way better roast platters and egg noodles, anytime.

The only food served in PiJiu Bar, and I think this is genius! Sadly the pork ham is not available. The platter features Smoked Duck Breast - soft and yummy, normal lapcheong- sweet and salty Chinese sausage, liver lapcheong, and ba gua with coriander seeds, which is unique and spicy. The platter goes surprising well with the beer, especially the stronger ones.

Stumbled upon another cute little beer bar serving craft beers from all over the world in bottles / draught. Ranging from 190baht to 250baht. My only issue was they serve only 1 Thai craft beer, which was quite sad.

Intimate, well curated list of gin cocktails such as Thai Tea and Chrysanthemums (340baht) or their affordable daily mix A and B (280 baht and 300 Baht) which is a surprise element. Nice playlist, no EDM junk, friendly staff, small bar, tables are limited (can fit 20 pax max) so get ready to squeeze when the night gets late.

The peppery soup here is addictive and uhhmayzing. It’s like pepper pork stomach soup with Thais koay chap, which is quite similar to chee cheong fun but more dense and meaty. Mixed with different parts of pork organs and siew yoke, the ingredients are super fresh and the soup is delicious. In love. Approx 30-50 baht per bowl.

One of the very few operating food places in Kudeejeen, a quiet alley famed for Portuguese settlements. I had to find something local to eat to see the difference between Malaysian Portuguese and Thai Portuguese. Quite similar in terms of spices and flavor. But still something different from the usual Thai food. 39 baht for a plate.
