Chatuchak Market

After our huge meal last night, we decided to eat a quick and light lunch at the Chatuchak Weekend Market. There was nothing specific that stood out about the stall, but we needed a break from the crowds and the shopping, so sat down at the first one we saw.


Here's what we ate:


T ordered this one. It was medium-thickness rice noodles with pork and other goodies/no soup (sen lek haeng moo) -- we're learning Thai :-) The noodles were chewy. The pork was very tender, but not very flavorful. Once T added some vinegar with chilies, thick soy sauce, and two spoons of ground red chili, it livened the dish, complimenting, not overpowering, the pork and fishballs.

Verdict: T= An adequate lunch. 

J got pork and sausage over rice (khao moo daeng???). The meats were not very distinct by themselves and the very sweet and peanuty sauce easily dominated the dish's flavor. The rice was soggy.

Verdict: J= Okay, but too sweet... and, really, how hard is it to cook rice?!
