healthcaretaker Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 During my last visit, as I was coming back from the pub and cafe area, a few lanes of them very near to Kad Suan Keaw. Towards the left of the main road if you are coming out of Kad Suan Keaw. There must be a turn into one of the lane. I foirgot about it as I explore several lanes there and I found this outdoor eating place that cook very well Thai dishes. I was alone so I did not order much but I see many locals eat there, mostly in groups after work. Here are some hints and descriptions. a) Walking distance back to Kad Suan Keaw' It's outdoor, beside the lane or a junction. c) The cooking is done at a corner visible from the customers tables. d) Tables are all wooden, seats are wooden too. e) The lady taking the order can speak English, slim looking and quite young, look around mid or late 20s. f) Not far further up after Kad Suan Keaw(on the left) if you are coming from the city along the left side into a lane/road. g) I think the egg fried with crabs or soft crabs is one of their speciality.

junglechef Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 maybe your talking about "gangali poo", like a mild yellow curry w/scrambled eggs, but sorry don't know the place since I'm new here but if that the same dish it's very popular from where I came from in Southern Thailand (Hua Hin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Must have been love at first sight Was it a street stand kind of thing? There's one just past the first traffic light. I don't know what they have but it's always busy and my wife thinks it looks very good (she can somehow tell whether a place is good by looking at it - don't know how but she's always right when it comes to food) Near sirimangkalajarn rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else is in this gangali poo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what they have but it's always busy and my wife thinks it looks very good (she can somehow tell whether a place is good by looking at it - don't know how but she's always right when it comes to food) Near sirimangkalajarn rd It was not "just' love at first sight. Beside the basil leaves fried with minced meat and the tom yom soup I ate and found them to be goodf. I have been observing the food my next table ordered. There are a group of nearly 10 people all like office workers after work. They had about 8 dishes and all look good. Ok. This one past the first traffic light, and then ? Need to turn to the left ? The one I saw is much bigger than a street stand. There are at least 6 tables of minimum 4 seats each. I remember there is a divider beside where I sit seprating from the lane or road. It looks like a permament old stall to me. Prices are cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've had it made with yellow curry, scallion (green onion or spring onion), garlic, egg and hard shell crabs and other times with onions , but as in most cuisines there can be regional differences and I've found here that they can even make a dish different next door due to family recipes. Try Googling "Thai Crab with Yellow Curry" or "Boo Paht Pong Karee" (or Poo Pad Pong Gari etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moetownblues Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I think I know the one you mean, If you come out of Kad Suan Kaew turn left walk down about 50 metres you will see a bank directly opposite the Royal Orchid hotel. Go down the laneway beside the bank towards the YMCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
