Siang Ki Khao Tom Pla (เซี่ยงกี่ข้าวต้มปลา) - For many years now I’ve wanted to eat at Bangkok’s Siang Ki Khao Tom Pla (เซี่ยงกี่ข้าวต้มปลา), an old Thai Chinese restaurants in Bangkok’s Chinatown that’s known for serving fish rice soup. One of the most notable aspects of the place is that it’s been in business in the same location for over 90 years, and the second generation is still cooking and in charge of the restaurant.
Unfortunately, I was pretty sad that they didn’t have oysters the day I went - the owner mentioned to me that they weren’t fresh so they weren’t going to sell them. But that also speaks highly of the restaurant - they won’t serve anything that’s not fresh.
Pomfret rice soup (ข้าวต้มปลาจาระเม็ด) - This is their signature Thai Chinese rice soup with pomfret fish. It’s perfect in every way, one of the most soothing bowls of food you can find.
Barramundi rice soup (ข้าวต้มปลากระพง) - Another version they make is fish rice soup with barramundi fish.
Pork rice soup (ข้าวต้มบะเต็ง) - Finally, something you have to order is their pork and rice, which is salty and delicious.
Siang Ki Khao Tom Pla (เซี่ยงกี่ข้าวต้มปลา) is quite expensive, but the quality is fantastic, and one of the best things about eating here is that you’re eating at a living museum, a piece of Bangkok culinary history
Total price - 940 THB ($28.78)
