- Yaowarat Toasted Bread. Yaowarat Toasted Bread is always seen with a long queue, patronised by both locals and tourists. Its buttered toast is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Kway Chap Auan Pochana. This Kway Chap is different from Singapore’s version. The soup is peppery and comes with rice noodle rolls and pig innards. The Thai pepper makes the peppery soup so popular that locals keep coming back to eat it.
- Grilled Squid. This grilled squid is currently the best I have tried. The squid is grilled to perfection, not too hard nor too soft. If you can take spicy food, make sure you add in the chilli sauce because it makes it even more delicious.
- Bird’s Nest. You can find Bird’s Nest almost in every corner of Yaowarat. I like coming to this shop called Xing Li. It starts from 300 baht per bowl, and I prefer having the hot version so that your bird nest will not be mixed with ice bits.
