3. Prachak Roasted Duck
đź“Ť 1415, Charoen Krung Road | Silom, Bangkok 10500, Thailand
It is no surprise that the most popular dish here is the roasted duck. In front of the food stall, you can see freshly roasted duck hanging outside. The skin of the duck is golden and crispy with meat so tender and juicy it falls off the bone. The duck itself is a stand-alone item but together with their sauce, it takes it to a whole new level. It is both rich and savory and is poured over the duck. You can order yourself a bowl with egg noodles or get yourself a bowl of rice to eat with the sauce.
4. Thip Samai Pad Thai
đź“Ť 313-315 Maha Chai Rd, Bangkok 10200, Thailand
Serving Thai foods since 1966, Thip Samai’s Pad Thai has been passed down from generations.
