Khao Soi Samerjai

I specifically searched online for some local snacks and restaurants that locals recommend, either from IG or Xiaohongshu. This place might be attracting attention because of its Michelin status, as some people on Xiaohongshu have recommended it. So I was also drawn to this seemingly unremarkable little restaurant!

The owner inside was very friendly, but actually, their English wasn't very good. After we entered, a local customer told us that we could just take the menu in and order. Otherwise, we might not even have noticed where the menu was! In the end, we ordered our dishes using photos. We ordered…

❤️ Pork 🐷 Curry Noodles
I think it might just be a matter of habit; people here are used to cooking their noodles very soft, so I wasn't quite used to it. I felt the noodles didn't have much chewiness, and if left too long, they'd get even softer. What's special is that they add a bit of fried noodles on top, so with each bite, you get two different textures! The curry flavor is relatively mild, with a bit of spiciness 🌶️ and a hint of sweetness, and the taste was fairly standard, without too many surprises!

❤️ Fried Spring Rolls
This dish was actually better than the noodles. The outer skin was crispy, and the filling had some vegetables, but the seasoning was quite special! I felt this dish was overall more enjoyable!

Overall, I wouldn't specifically go back to this little restaurant again. If I happened to pass by, I might just grab a spring roll, but I probably wouldn't even go back to that area!
