Double Dogs Tea Room

Tea lovers rejoice. This hidden gem has the best tea selection of Bangkok. Just picking a tea from the menu shows the wide array of varieties available. First the teas are split by country of origin and then roughly by colour. Picking a Chinese tea seems like an obvious choice, but there are also Japanese, Sri Lankan and Taiwanese varieties available. Ask the staff for a recommendation. It has a wonderfully serene atmosphere with a relaxing tune on the background, a culture shock with the happenings just outside. It is fully air conditioned. Tea packs can be bought for home use. Prices are higher than elsewhere, but that's understandable considering the high quality of the products involved.

Hua Seng Hong
ร้านอาหาร ฮั่ว เซ่ง ฮง
The typical messy place you would expect around Yaowarat with fresh crabs and king prawns hanging out front. Inside it is a plain long hall and it is usually packed. Order the Chinese dishes, particularly the crab is worth it. Stir-fried crab with yellow curry powder is around 1,000 baht, but you can also go for cheaper dishes like braised goosefeet or roasted duck. There's also ample choice of dim sum that will be served on multiple small plates.

Tang Jai Yoo
ภัตตาคารตั้งใจอยู่
As featured in Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" television programme, this open-air restaurant is a must-try for some culinary delights. They only have Chinese Chaozhou-style seafood dishes. Their speciality is roasted baby pig skin, very crispy and delicious. When you've finished the skin, the pig will be brought back to the kitchen and its meat will be used for your main dish.

Kuay Jab Nai Ek
One of the famous places to get kuay jab (ก๋วยจั๊บน้ำใส), a roll-like rice noodle with crispy pork belly, blood and intestines served in clear soup. Sounds delicious, doesn't it? It looks just like any other simple budget eatery, but insiders hail the freshness of the ingredients here. The locals flock to this place, so if you're coming in the early evening, you may have to wait in line.

Plaeng Nam Road
ถนนแปลงนาม
This small commercial road feels like a time machine set for 1914. Residents and retailers have crossed ways here for more than one hundred years. Local merchants here sell products in daily use by Chinese households, such as kitchen equipment, Chinese medicine and medicinal herbs. You can also find local shops selling traditional Chinese musical instruments, as well as lanterns and kerosene-fuelled stoves. These stores did have to adapt somewhat to changing times. The store selling Chinese musical instruments now repairs old instruments and sells equipment for use in shrines. The shops that sell lanterns and kerosene stoves now repair these items brought in by collectors. Commerce at this road never comes to a standstill as dining facilities serve food around the clock.
