For devoted street food lovers, it's well known that truly delicious eateries often hide within ordinary neighborhoods. A clear sign of quality is when customers line up even before the vendors have finished setting up their stalls.
Thairath Online takes you to check in at the Khlong Luang area in Pathum Thani Province to get acquainted with a restaurant.“Apple Traditional Recipe Pork Noodles with Tom Yum and Pork Blood Soup.”A legendary spot hidden in Pruksa Village 12/1, offering generous portions and high quality at very affordable prices.
From a Bangkok legend to a popular Pathum Thani eatery, the success of this place is no accident. Samruay Thongopas, the 61-year-old owner, said the secret recipes were passed down from his father, who ran a noodle shop in Bangkok for many decades.
Although the original shop closed, having assisted his father closely, Samruay memorized the traditional recipes by heart. After settling in Pathum Thani, he revived his father’s special recipes and opened the shop just over a year ago. The response has been overwhelming, making it a regular favorite among locals.
Chinese herb stewed pork noodles and stewed pork rice.
The specialty lies in stewing the pork with Chinese herbs overnight, allowing the broth to deeply infuse the meat. When ordered, the shop reheats the pork bowl by bowl to serve tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork fragrant with herbs.
Traditional pork blood soup (highlighting giant offal pieces).
Offal lovers will be amazed as large chunks of pig’s lung, stomach, and liver nearly palm-sized are cut fresh here. The shop meticulously cleans all offal to eliminate any odor. The pork blood is boiled with pandan leaves and ginger to remove its distinct smell, making the broth refreshing to sip.
Traditional tom yum pork noodles.
The key is the bold seasoning with.“real lime juice.”Its aroma is striking, served alongside the shop’s special marinated pork that is tender and bouncy. Almost every customer who tries it becomes a fan.
“Chili vinegar sauce.”This shows the shop’s professionalism by carefully preparing the chili vinegar condiment. They boil the vinegar before seasoning it, which kills germs and helps prevent customers from getting sick. This means the food is not only delicious but also safe.
Those wanting to follow this trail of rich, flavorful dishes starting at only 50 baht can visit at Pruksa Village 12/1, Moo 2, Khlong Sam Subdistrict, Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani. The shop is open mornings from 07:30 to 13:30 and evenings from 17:00 to 20:00.
