Salungkham Restaurant

[worgeordie]

I live in Chiang Mai, and yesterday I bought some very good smoked bacon,

a really nice oak flavor,and it did not shrivel up when fried as most Thai

bacon does,maybe the best bacon I have had in Thailand.

On the lable it states it is made by Salungkham Restaurant ,Chiang Rai,

I have a daughter at M.F.U. ,so I visit Chiang Rai regularly ,and I am always

looking for decent places to eat,while I am up there,

So I would be grateful if anyone who knows Salungkham Restaurant and

has eaten there ,could give a report on type of food they serve and the

quality, as I am only going on how good their bacon is,

Last time I was up there, I followed the recommendation of this forum and

tried the Teak Cafe near to M.F.U. ,and pleased to report it was very good

food and value for money.

Thanks for your time,and if you can recommend any other good places

to eat in Chiang Rai ,I would be grateful. regards Worgeordie

Thanks Worgeordie for your question! I was rather surprised to hear this excellent

restaurant, at least its meat products, mentioned by a foreigner. The Salungkham

can not be compared to the Teak House, it is a different style. But I would not

be surprised if those who can appreciate the good taste of the Teak House will

also be able to enjoy this specific culinary adventure.

The Salungkham Restaurant is situated next to the Catholic Church of Chiang Rai.

For more information, also about the exact location, please find my answer in

the restaurant thread of this forum:

PS: rather funny that I explained the location of the Catholic church five years ago

by referring to this restaurant:

"The big wooden roofed entry to the premises is next to Saloon Kham, one of the best

Thai barbeque restaurants in town". Helps a lot

I suppose that the difference in spelling isn't relevant.

Even then the restaurant (and its meatshop) is worth a visit!
