Tim Ho Wan - Bangkok

Tim Ho Wan

Even though this place may seem a bit pricey and not much variety compared to other Dim Sum places, I'd say this place is worth it. Tim Ho Wan would eventually earn a Michelin star of its own in the 2010 Hong Kong and Macau Guide, a distinction which some have stated was a move in response to the criticism that the Michelin Guide was "elitist" and "out of touch with local tastes. In 2015, its Sham Shui Po, North Point and Tai Kok Tsui branches had all received one Michelin star. Since then, the restaurant has been dubbed as "the world's cheapest Michelin-star restaurant".    

Finally we got to try one of their branches in Bangkok, Thailand. Located at Terminal 21, Tim Ho Wan arrived in Bangkok in August 2015. The restaurant setup was very clean and up to date fixtures. The menu all had pictures so you know exactly what you are ordering. Their dimsum highlight such as:

Baked Bun with BBQ Pork

They are soft but crispy on the outside; tearing it open releases a tiny flood of sauce and a gush of mouth-watering fragrance. Within the sauce swims soft and savoury pieces of barbecued pork. Sinking your teeth into anyone of them and you will find yourself asking for more.       

Beancurd Skin with Pork and Shrimp

This dish will first welcome you with its nice chewy skin. And when you get through that flavoursome skin, you reach the juicy pork & shrimp on the inside. A flavourful and juicy dish.    

Vermicelli Roll with BBQ Pork

Classics that taste great with the quality ingredients and culinary skills that Tim Ho Wan has to offer. A must order dimsum here.

Congee

Smooth and silky porridge served with pork, century and salted egg,

Steam Spinach Dumpling

A see through clear skin into the greenery inside is something that will catch your attention. A bite into these dumplings will reveal the crunchy prawn fillings and a taste of the healthy greens inside.

Braised Chicken Feet

A dish that will keep your mouth busy and leave your tastebuds enjoying the sweet flavours of abalone in the chicken feet. Stewed to achieve that flavoufull taste in every bite.

I'm very satisfied with their dimsum and great service. Tim Ho Wan has officially become my favorite dimsum restaurant chain.

Bangkok Street Food

Bangkok is famous for their street food, delicious and cheap it's one of the purest ways to get in touch with the local culture. You can easily find any kind of street food especially at night.

For the first timer in Bangkok, then we suggest you to go to this 2 night market:

Yaowarat Night Market.

Open from 5pm until 11 pm, as known as Bangkok's Chinatown.

This one right here, you can choose whatever you like, then they will dip in their special sauce and grilled it for you. It taste amazing-ly good.

Same as before, this they use different method which is fried.

The pork is heaven-ly good. They sell it per gram for 20 Bath, which is very cheap. They sell various type of pork with a same price.

Our favorite goes to their pork belly. And you can mix the pork as well.

 This one is chicken thighs. Nothing special about it, and taste wise.

In here you can find lots of fried seafood as well.

Khaosan Road

Khaosan Road is one of the famous night market in Thailand for expat and tourist. Here, they sell a lot of delicious street food.

Mango sticky rice, is well known in Bangkok. You can easily find it in every spot of the street. The mango taste so sweet and goes along with the sticky rice.

Martabak with banana and milk. One of the favorite in Khaosan Road as well.

Kebab, usually they sell it from beginning of the road until the end of the road. This one is live cooking, and one of my favorite food in Bangkok.

For the first timer in Bangkok, this food you should not miss. You can use taxi ( Yellow or Blue Color ) to get to this two night market.
