Som Tam Nua @ Siam Square Soi 5, Bangkok

Food Highlights for my Bangkok trip!

Blessed with cheap air flights, how can we not take the opportunity to visit other countries right? And so, with the right price and right timing, we secured our flight tickets for a 5 days and 4 nights Bangkok trip earlier this year. We tried many delicious Thai food to your hearts’ content. Looking forward to visit Bangkok again!

This is their signature green papaya salad is a must-try. Dressed in an exclusive sauce that combines just-the-right-amount of sweetness, sourness, saltiness and spiciness and is topped with an abundance of peanut crumbs. The cripsy pork skin does wonders to enhance the fragance of this appetizer.

Fried chicken wings in a basket. It’s well marinated and crispy on the outside. These juicy wings are especially recommended for garlic lovers. The chicken was so good that sauce served for dipping wasn’t required.

Som Tam Nua offers both sticky and normal steamed rice. We opted for steamed rice. The fragrant rice is high grade Thai jasmine rice, and is a perfect match with the rest of the dishes.

This blog is a platform to share what I love in life: food (eat), travel (play), photography (art) and life (thoughts and ideas). With passion for food, I share my foodie adventures and indulgences here. “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”

Traveling makes us a better human being as we recognise the similarities and celebrate the differences of cultures between where we travel to and where we come from. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Photography do more than just capturing the best moments in our lives; they also help us tell our life stories. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
