I used to do a much better job keeping up with my former Thai students turned friends. This lady, Jeab, met me on one of my return visits to Bangkok. She invited me to join her and her friends to play badminton. Afterwards, we went to one of our favorite areas for street food in the city - the corner of Ratchadamri and Phetchburi Rds in Pratunam. There are food stalls and restaurants (shop house types) that remain very busy - pretty much all day long, but especially at night. Khao Man Gai (chicken rice), Moo Satay (grilled pork) and Khao Niaow Ma Muang (mango with sticky rice) were specialties. And although I found a food stall I really liked the best, one of the shop house restaurants nearby was very famous in Bangkok. You can see photos of it here. Just click and scroll.
The soup that came with it was always very good. The sauce was a type of sweet soy sauce that you'd pour over the chicken and rice. I would request the sweet and slightly spicy sauce instead. Also, your chicken and rice dish could be made extra special by adding chicken livers. I would do that! And to drink?! After a hot, sweaty day, an ice cold Coca-Cola always served me right.
