Two Siblings Kanom Buang has passed down their mother's recipe, preserving a consistent flavor. The secret to their crispiness is waiting 7 minutes per crepe—taking a little longer but guaranteeing deliciousness.
In Wat Si Khun Muang Alley, within Nong Khai Municipality, there is a small roadside Vietnamese crepe shop that has hidden legendary flavors for over three decades. Known locally as Two Siblings Kanom Buang, this is the place residents come to enjoy traditional Vietnamese crepes with crispy batter, generous fillings, and authentic taste.
What makes Two Siblings Kanom Buang special is the careful heat control during cooking. The elderly owner gently pours a secret batter recipe into the pan, swirling it evenly into a thin circle, enhances the flavor with an egg, and stuffs it with seasoned minced pork mixed with bamboo shoots, fragranced with a subtle curry powder unique to the shop. Each crepe takes 5-7 minutes to cook slowly, allowing the batter to crisp from the edges inward. The result is a fully crunchy crepe, balanced with a sweet-sour dipping sauce containing cucumber and freshly roasted peanuts—a perfect combination that has won loyal customers for over 30 years.
Starting from the mother's generation, selling each crepe for only 5-10 baht, the elderly owner maintains standards and affordable prices despite rising ingredient costs. The plain version without egg costs 25 baht, and with egg, 30 baht. Since each crepe is handmade individually, customers should expect some waiting time. To avoid missing out, it is recommended to call ahead at 084-600-1755 or visit Wat Si Khun Muang Alley in Nong Khai Municipality, Mueang District, Nong Khai Province. The shop is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
