So one of my favorite things about Bangkok is the plethora of delicious, cheap international food. From street food to restaurants, there are so many options.
These photos are from
MK, a Thai restaurant chain that capitalizes on suki- boiling vegetables and meats instead of frying them. It is often compared to both the Japanese shabu shabu and the Chinese steamboat dishes.
It's large-group friendly because at the table, there are large pots of broth where you boil your selected foods. This allows you to experiment and be adventurous and suit the tastes of whoever is with you. We had a group of 6, with some vegetarians and non-vegetarians, so we just separated the food into 2 pots. We also ordered specialty dishes that aren't boiled. Here's what we chose!
 |
| tofu, 2 types of mushrooms, corn, carrots, etc |
 |
You can choose which boiled items to put in your bowl,
allowing for different flavor combinations. |
 |
| Roast duck w/ cucumber and ginger. Delicious. |
 |
| shrimp dim sum |
 |
| shrimp and pork dim sum |
 |
| We didn't order this, but I was amused. |

I really enjoyed the food here, and at about 10 USD a person, I'm definitely coming back!
