I wasn't hunting for food when I walked down Thanon Ratchawong. But the framed newspaper cuttings hung on the small pushcart of "ก๋วยเตี๋ยวปู 2491" caught my attention and there, I stopped to take a look at this roadside vendor which serves crab meat noodles. The setup looks clean and they were really busy. I didn't exactly know what to order, so I told them I wanted a bowl of noodle soup and insisted that it must come with crab meat. And voila, few minutes later my order came. The noodle soup was accompanied by char siew (หมูแดง / roasted red pork), wonton (เกี๊ยว), shredded chicken, fresh veg and most importantly, crab meat. Well, the combo looks great but I find the noodles a tad too tough and the soup was also rather mild. I also had a Thai Oliang (Iced Black Coffee) which is, typically, very sweet.

My verdict: The jumbo ingredients were an eye-opener but the noodles can be more tender.

Table for two: THB50 for my noodle combo. THB12 for the Oliang.

Getting there ...
Take Chao Phraya Express boat to Ratchawong Pier. Exit the pier to Ratchawong Road. About 5 minutes down the road, the pushcart is on your right-hand-side where Ratchawong Road meets Soi Phalittaphon (see map below).

About THAIoholic

THAIoholic, the blog, is setup with the initial intention of keepsake. As time goes by, I find it harder and harder for my gray cells (of what left) to remember traces of great places we have been to, good foods we savored but missed, details that I should remember but they slipped away unknowingly.

Then, we have also friends and folks asking little details I thought I should blog them here, because my pea brain is simply no good at recollections.

My partner is a devoted Buddhist, his religion forbids him, and therefore me, from taking beef. As such, it's unlikely that there will be any info about beef dish found in this blog.

Unknown said...: So basically, crab meats are garnish of a bowl of noodle. Kinda disappointed. Crab Meats Noodles so I thought there must be a lot of crab meats on the bowl of noodle but I guess I was wrong. What are inside of wonton? and there are some meats what kind of meats. I might try; June 19, 2016 at 3:07 AM
