Bangkok Michelin Food by Tuk Tuk - Hotel-pickup Lunch or Dinner

The pick-up time at your hotel is 4:30 pm. Your Tuk Tuk driver will come to your hotel and meet you in the lobby with a signboard with your name on it. You will then be transferred by tuk-tuk to the tour's starting point at one of Bangkok's landmarks, The Metal Castle (Loha presat temple).

You will meet your English English-speaking guide and get a briefing about the upcoming tour and then go sampling the amazing Michelin foods around Bangkok city by tuk tuk.

The First Michelin food stop will be at Kor Panich Mango Sticky Rice, open since 1932 and known for its delicious mango sticky rice dish. The shop originally served their unique dish and recipe to the Thai kings and queens. The shop was founded in 1932 by Kaap and his wife, and it was his wife who made the sticky rice. She followed the recipe her mother, who worked in the royal palace kitchen, had passed down.

As we dig into the perfectly ripe mangoes, we find them incredibly juicy. We then place them onto a bed of warm sticky rice, topped with creamy coconut milk lightly tinged with sugar and salt. Finally, we add a sprinkle of fried mung beans for an extra crunch, resulting in perfection. The restaurant is typical of this area. There are only a few tables, so we experience eating while sitting on a wooden chair by the roadside amid blaring cars and tuk-tuks passing by in front of us.

Our next stop is at the Pad Thai Fai Talu restaurant, which has been awarded a Michelin star for the past 5 years. We were welcomed with an impressive fire show from the kitchen's ring-burner. It is fascinating to watch the chef prepare the glass noodle dishes with all the fire and smoke. The unique cooking style offers a rich and smoky flavor, thanks to a well-balanced tamarind paste and the deep flavors of the smoky wok. The highlight of the menu is the Pad Thai with Berkshire pork neck, which was simply delicious. We enjoy the meal upstairs in the restaurant's unique setting.

Bangkok's Old Town, also known as Rattanakosin, is home to some of Bangkok's most breathtaking and revered landmarks. When traveling by tuk-tuk, you'll pass by beautiful monuments such as the Grand Palace, Giant Swing, Democracy Monument, and The Metal Castle.

This classic Thai kitchen, recommended by Michelin, is a hidden gem despite its simple exterior. The dishes are unique and feature the family's secret recipes, some of which have been served to patrons such as the Thai royal family. You get to try the stir-fried pork with bird's-eye chili is tender and bursting with herbal aromas. Additionally, try their signature yellow curry with large prawns and crispy lotus root strikes the perfect blend of sour, spicy, and sweet.

We proceed to Yaowarat, also known as Dragon Street, one of Bangkok's liveliest neighborhoods. Bangkok's sprawling Chinatown is full of energy and is one of the most fascinating places in the city.

This place is also a haven for tea lovers. Trying herbal tea here guarantees the best quality. Sample the Chrysanthemum tea, as it can refresh and cool your body.

We also stopped by a small stall called Pa Tong Go Savoey, which has been serving Thai fried donutsin Yaowarat for more than 4 decades and has earned a spot in the Michelin Guide. Taste this tango of a Chinese deep-fried dough with gooey sweet sauce. Apart from frying, they grill it to make the exterior crispy. We recommend you try and dip it in the delicious sweet pandan sauce.
*Please note all Mondays Chinatown is closed, and subsitute food tasting will be another place.

At the end of your Michelin food tasting and exploration, the tour concludes and your Tuk Tuk driver takes you safely back to your Bangkok hotel.
