PATTAYA STREET FOOD - List of Pattaya street food that you like

[vidgra]

hello,

 

New here, I would like to know where are located your favorites Thai street food restaurants ?

 

For example can you tell me where you like to eat KHAO MAN GAI ? Thai chicken with rice dish ?

I tried at some malls and they tasted awful, not fresh chicken of the day and rice not cooked in chicken soup it seems, not tasty, not oily as it should be.

 

And you ? where do you like to eat cheap and easy ? Thank you.

My favourite chicken rice is on soi Arunothai, that's all it does so know how to do it, From Klang turn right and it's a shack type place on the right about 200 yards.

 

My current favourite street food place is Soi 15 corner of Pattaya 2nd road, 30-50 baht

Street food is very unsanitary and not safe to eat. You could easily end up in the hospital with a serious case of diarrhea. I have known people that also get worms from eating street food.

Street Food or Restaurants?

the only time I've been ill with food is in restaurants, never with street food. I'm not sure why but flies stay away from street food, strange but true

BS. I have eaten street food here for 35+ years. I have taken friends out many a time as well, none of them ever got sick. I believe the Thai's to be very sanitary in the preparation, and Thailand is known throughout the world as a street food Haven.

The longer I live here the more selective I am. For many years I ate without a care at all street food places. I never got sick, just trying to eat healthier now. In the Malls it's Shabu or other buffet joints like Aka, the 600thb/person is pretty awesome.

arunotai is the soi on the right of bigc when facing it ?

[questionsreplies]

The best street food is at terminal 21 but annoying on purpose i guess that the food court is not at the basement.

[Havefunme]

Not in malls

Do you run a restaurant? This is the standard nonsense restaurant owners push so the naive will spend more in their shop.

 

Thai street food is better than many restaurants provide. Cooked right in front of you in many cases, while the restaurants have pots of who knows how old offerings.

 

I hope this thread has a long life.

I don't live in Pattaya, but pre-covid-19, me & Mrs MD visit Pattaya 6-7 time a year. Last time we visited was Dec 2021. My favourite street food is moo ping and I get it at night from a stall on the corner of Soi Lengkee / Soi Buakhao junction. Very tasty supper at 10 baht a skewer, washed down with a few small changs.

No. that sounds like Soi Yume.

Turn around, back to Big CX, entrance, narrow street to the left at the lights. (also to the left).

Some quality food preparation and hygiene in Thailand shown in this article.

 

 

I call BS on your 35 years eating food in Thailand and never ending up on the toilet, once.

Posting an article about sausages has nothing to do with what I said. I have not eaten a sausage of any type for years. Mystery meat to me. Stand by what I said and say to you. Just look at where you want to eat. Served me well. Oh yeah the wife and kids have never been sick either.  Kids now live and work in the states and miss Thai street food a lot. One caveat, I only eat barbecued meats from any Isaan street stall.

[MrJ2U]

Most street food is garbage. of gristly old meat, MSG, and sugar and salt.

 

Great in a pinch or if you're on a very limited budget.

 

You get what you pay for.

I've only been in Thailand for 22 years, not 35. And in fact, I did get a case of the G.I.Blues... ONCE... after eating at a very exclusive hotel restaurant in Bangkok. It lasted almost 4 hours, taken care of with two Imodium tablets. Four hours out of my 22-year existence in LOS, eating street foods often, everywhere I go. Even eating sausages of varying types often. Street foods and their vendors are an integral part of Thai Culture, and to avoid them is doing oneself an injustice. One only needs to be a bit observant and street-smart when choosing which vendor with whom to give your custom.

[pomchop]

Often the problem is not the food which is cooked or boiling hot...the problem is the plates and/or utensils which are washed in buckets of cold dirty type water.  Never gotten sick off of street food ever.

Not really, that's the idea of picking your favourite street food places, where i go the meat quality is good. A new one on soi 13\2 is bad, their idea of chicken is gristle and skin, of course hard to tell with msg salt and sugar but addition of good veg is a good sign. I'm not frightened of sugar salt and msg

There are certainly good ones also.

 

I don't want to put all street food in a bad light.

[questionsreplies]

What kind of street food is not greasy dirty fried Thai food? It seems to be all what they can do ! Maybe only soups are healthy, and even not sure..,

[EVENKEEL]

Got the runs once eating pad that was super greasy. I get the tourists living off the food carts in tourist markets. But if you're living here, honestly why would you frequent the cheapest food. I can get the same food and better quality in a restaurant for not much more.

Just avoid the deep fried chicken KFC type stuff also the soups with coconut is high in fat, once a week probably ok. I have thai food once a day usually

 

I used to eat noodle soup daily for years, good mixture of veg in there, pretty healthy

I posted a link that shows that not to be the case.

Is not Thai pork sausage "street food?"

 

Just what type of street food do you actually eat?

Is that not what street food is all about?

Seems like you only eat up market street food.  Can this truly be classified as street food?

Perhaps we need to clarify what exactly is street food, and what exactly is food poisoning?  

 

Some members may classify food poisoning as only needing medical treatment.  Others may classify it as self medicating with some imodium tablets, as you have mentioned.  

 

I classify it as being on the toilet not long after the meal.  Whether that progresses to self medication, and possibly then onto seeking medical treatment, is irrelevant.  

 

If I'm on the toilet after eating street food, then that's food poisoning to me.  

 

Mild, average, severe, it's all food poisoning.

If the one outside the closed Family Market on Lengkee itself he is very good.

I was wanting to get some dab tonight but unfortunately he wasn't there - or I was too early......
