healthcaretaker Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 This is a very popular restaurant near the 3 Kings Monument & Art & Cultural Museum. They serve a lot of crispy pork and mixed pork ingredients soup, served with rice or a type of noodle(looks like kuoy thew in peices). Most people order crispy pork served on their rice or a seperate bowl of soup with crispy pork and other pork ingredients. The restaurant is in a single storey shop but inside it's narrow and long with many tables all the way in, very crowded during lunch hour. They have easily 10 to 20 young staffs in uniform. Exact location - if you are facing the Art & Cultural Museum's front entrance(where the 3 Kings status is placed), walk to the right, turn left along the first road, go straight(now the museum will be on your left); the shop is now far from there across the road. I need to know their business hours urgently, open and close what time roughly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 This place right? http://g.co/maps/zmydf It seems likely they're morning & afternoon only. But I don't know for a fact, and the opening times don't seem to be indicated on the sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what time they normally close in open in the open and close in the afternoon. I need to leave early tomorrow and and back to Chiang Mai late afternoon; will try to adjust my times if possible. Their crispy pork and the soup combined is the best I ever had in Thailand. Discover them by chance during the last visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It's that urgent to find pork at the 3 Kings? There are 1,000+ places in C.M. that serve the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildpikey Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It's that urgent to find pork at the 3 Kings? There are 1,000+ places in C.M. that serve the same thing! Seems fairly obvious that it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthcaretaker Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Winnie, I think that's the place if any description fits mine. elektrified, I guess you won't understand why some places are more touristy or why some girls won beauty queen titles. You must have good taste to understand my OP. wildpikey, Obviously what ??? That some business competitors are unhappy of my OP ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Why doesnt the OP just go there and bloody well ask them; instead of writing all these cryptic messages, that to be honest are sounding more sinister than anything....10-20 young staff indeed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthcaretaker Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Why doesnt the OP just go there and bloody well ask them; instead of writing all these cryptic messages, that to be honest are sounding more sinister than anything....10-20 young staff indeed? Yes, 10 to 20 staffs. Don't believe ? At anytime, you can see more than 10. Mostly don't understand any English, they served me wrongly. I managed to be there at 12 noon. This is my 2nd visit. I don't see any other restaurant that display more crispy pork than this place, can even see a lot more inside beside an oven, ready to sell on the same day. Their crispy pork is thick and chunky, unlike most Thai's style. Here it's like between Thai & Chinese style roast pork. I ordered a plate of rice with a lot of crispy pork, a half pc of boiled egg, some cucumbers, and sauce for 50 baht and a seperate bowl of soup(pepper based) with intestines, liver slices and crispy pork which I believe is also 50 baht, since I am charged a total of 100 baht; a little higher than other places but well worth it since they provide free plain water as well as Chinese tea and some onion stalks on the table. They also the soup with a strange type of noodle inside which look weird. They also have a type of thick white looking sausages which also look weird to me. The place is actually just beside the 3 Kings monument Art Museum, so my description in the OP went too far. The songtheaw driver who took me there know the place, the food is call "kuay chap". By 12.40 pm when I leave, all the tables(min 15 to 20) are already occupied. They open 8 am to 3 pm only. All Thai-looking customers, not a single foreigners; lets see which guidebook will put in first; but I think they will not entertain any guidebook. To the last poster, I ask to confirm their operating hours because I don't want to waste 30 mins and other sacrifices, can't I ?

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 All: It is indeed a good place for Kuay Jab and crispy pork dishes. Not the cheapest, but okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know quite a a few stalls in Bangkok but not in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Another well-known place for kuay jab is on Tung Hotel road near the Railway Station. You seem to be in that area a lot, so could be worth a try: http://g.co/maps/amyrn If it's just the crispy pork dishes then those places are everywhere; I visit one at 89 Plaza a lot, and just yesterday found a new one because my tire blew up almost right in front of it and I was stuck there for 30 minutes while some tire shop dude fixed it. A bit out of town though, but nice Chinese guy there who reminded me a little bit of Kung <deleted> Panda's stepfather in his demeanor and total focus on serving good food. (Also has Chinese duck dishes and dim sum): http://g.co/maps/wmxn6 And then I liked the crispy pork in Sarapee, just past the police station on the other side of the road. But that could also be because of the neon-orange sauce that came with it, kind of turned it into Fukushima Pork, which would be a great name for a dish. Or a rock band.

No, I hardly go to the Railway station area and I prefer taking buses compared to trains; but I will attempt to try the food you mentioned there in my next visit. I went to the Railway Station last time because of going to the Royal Flora; and yes the crusty pie in a cafe there is great. The lady claimed they supply to Suckbucks everyday.

naboo Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Probably a good time to let everyone know that mispronouncing "kuay jab" might lead to a few troubles. Best to perfect if before asking for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
