Wonderful dining experience in heritage building A dinner at Potong takes you through the culinary mind of chef Pam, who has taken over an old 5 story building from her family in Chinatown. A meal here is equally entertaining, exciting and delicious. The duck served as a sharing plate was my highlight of the meal.

This joint is minimal, beautiful and layered with good vibes. Simply stunning food and menu in all: four dishes, three drinks. That’s it. A benchmark for restaurant basix in all, without nonsense, excessiveness, pretending or any protocol. Rolled rice noodles in peppery broth with crispy pork and -offal was sublime. Crispy pork itself was so good, we ordered more. One of my fave moments was when taking the initial order from us the waiting person shouted kindly tje order to chef and first dish arrived immediately, without any wait. If You have a short slot in BKK — this is the meal You need to have here.

Delicious crisp and soft oyster omelet in Yaowarat. A simple street kitchen with seating in the street and indoors. The place is one of the most famous oyster omelet restaurants in town. Both omelets are great, so have a small size of each of them.

Great Chinese in a very cool Chinese house and décor A very good Northern Chinese restaurant in a charming house next to the river. Really cool decor. Try the dim sungs, waguy tenderloin or deep fried giant shrimps in light wasabi sauce. A bit disappointing wine list.
