If there is one thing Bangkokians are not short of it’s food! There are restaurants, street vendors and gourmet-level food courts everywhere.

Pa Tong Ko – crisp and airy Thai donuts served with a coconut custard. These are oven-baked and not deep fried, yum!

Tang Yuan – sesame dumplings filled with a sweet, black sesame paste (it doesn’t sound too appetizing but was delicious).

Som Tam – green papaya salad. A Thai favourite served as a side dish with starters or main courses. It is a very aromatic salad with just a hint of chili.

Khao Niao Mamuang – Mango sticky rice. This is a traditional Thai dessert that typically consists of sticky rice cooked with coconut milk and served with fresh sliced mangoes on top and chopped soy beans for crunch. My favourite so far as it was so refreshing and light!
