Pa Tong Go Savoey

Another Bangkok Michelin gem quest. First time I tried this one called Pa Tong Go here, turns out it called "cakwe" in my hometown. A striking difference is that pa tong go is served with its signature green coconut-pandan custard custard. And in my opinion, the two are inseparable. There's another stall nearby using the same name but this particular one really stands out and eye-catching, thanks to the captivating attraction of the preparation process, the long queues of customers and the crowds surrounding. Personally, tastewise, I really enjoyed it while it's still hot. Fluffy, crispy outside yet soft and melting inside. The sweetness of the custard pairs perfectly with the salty and savory notes. The service is fast, rush but bit unfriendly. Price is affordable, small set is enough for two person. Recommended.

This *youtiao* (fried dough stick) stall in Bangkok's Chinatown is a highly popular street food spot, beloved by both tourists and local food enthusiasts.Deep-fried until golden and crispy,and served with a rich, aromatic pandan-coconut custard—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a perfect blend of salty and sweet flavors. Recommended to tried it when you are thetre.

This fried dough shop is one of my favorite places to visit whenever I’m in Bangkok. I’ve eaten here many times, but only now am I finally posting a review. The photos are from one of my previous visits. I really love the pandan dipping sauce—it’s fragrant, creamy, and pairs perfectly with the freshly fried dough. It’s the main reason I keep coming back. The only downside for me is that the fried dough is a little too oily, but it still tastes great overall. If you’re visiting Bangkok and looking for a popular local snack, I think this place is definitely worth trying.

This popular shop in Chinatown Yaowarat is super crowded and orders can take sometime. I found an outlet at the Emsphere basement street food court. The queue is shorter and one can eat at a more pleasant aircon place . Also the food prep area is cleaner and one can see how your food is done. The best flavour is the 3 combination mix where the fried baby fritters are served with condensed milk , sesame seed ,fresh coconut meat n green kaya on request. Heavenly snack that goes well with hot Thai tea . There is another snack stall next to it that sells yummy coconut cream filled love letters . So delicious when freshly baked , as crispy and so flavourful that one can just pop a box of 5 pieces . The wafer thin love letters comes with different toppings and one can pick when buying . Another creative delicious food for those with sweet tooth.

I had a very uncomfortable experience here because of how differently the employee treated Asian tourists compared with white tourists. The middle-aged man making the Chinese donuts barely acknowledged me when I approached. He glanced at me but didn’t greet me or say anything. When it was my turn to order, he asked what i wanted, i answered, but he didn’t respond or engage with me at all. He eventually handed me the food and took the money without saying anything further. Keep in mind when I approached the stall I greeted him with a hello and with a smile on my face as I do anywhere else. At first I thought this was just his way of doing business which was fine because I don’t think service workers need to always be smiley and happy. they are people too afterall and we all get tired. I don’t need kindess from every single person I come across. However… What really stood out was how differently he treated white tourists. I watched him greet them with “sawasdee kráp,” smile warmly, ask what they wanted, and make small talk with them. He was noticeably friendly and engaging with them, while his entire interaction with us was cold and dismissive. I approached him with a smile and I am a native English speaker, so there was no language barrier that could explain the difference. I can’t say for certain what was going through his mind, but the difference in treatment was very noticeable and uncomfortable. I expected the same basic courtesy that he showed other customers, regardless of their race or appearance. oh and the food was very mediocre. I went because I saw their shop went viral on tiktok but it was just a fried donut… fellow Asians, skip this place please!
