This family run stall is located at Soi Kraisi, very near to Khao San. Once you are at Soi Krasi, you won't miss this stall as there's always a long queue in front of the stall.
From my observation, it looked like Uncle handled the tom yum goong and most of the salads, while Aunty handled the stir fried and deep fried dishes.
The first time I went, I was aiming only for the tom yum goong. Little did I know, they are actually the king of wok! No joke, the "wok hei" here was amazing. Every single dishes that we ordered was outstanding. They really have excellence control of the "fire" (火候).
First, of course, we have to talk about their tom yum goong. Of course I haven't tried every single Tom Yum Goong in Thailand yet. But I am sure, this must be one of the best!
Their broth was extremely rich and buttery, with layered of flavours, and wonderfully aromatic. All that creamy fatty butteriness came from the freshwater shrimp. Their freshwater shrimp cooked just nice. A few seconds longer will be overcooked and a few seconds shorter will be undercooked. Really. They must have run the hell of Design Of Experiments to get this perfect texture and juiciness.
While I love every dishes here, still, I have to highlight their omelet. How do you make something so simple so incredible tasty? Crispy outside, tender inside. Yes, some complaint that it is oily, but come on, please bring your "healthy standards" some where else, don't come judge and spoil these rare authentic food.
Did I tell you that their crispy pork is very good too? You can order just as it is, or you can ask them to use this to stir fry various types of vegetables.
They served very good Thai salad dishes. I think it is mainly due to the freshness of their raw material, and how they ingeniously mix all the difference spices so well.
Also, order anything stir fried. You won't regret. Their "wok hei" guaranteed the quality!
There's also a small stand just right in front of Tom Yum Goong Banglamphu. They sell very good fish cakes and prawn cakes. You are allow to order and eat at Tom Yum Goong Banglamphu while waiting for your food to be served.
Another stall that I have to mention, is the fruit juice stall right opposite of Tom Yum Goong Banglamphu. They have very big menu with all kinds of fruits, and also all sorts of combinations. Very reasonable price. These juice go extremely well with the food at Tom Yum Goong Banglamphu.
