There are some new donut chains in town and I am spacing on the name of one of the ones I have tried - but today I made the mistake of trying Bapple. The new Malaysian chain that opened up in Siam Discovery.
Why a mistake?
They are tasty. They are super fresh - some even made to order it seems, not greasy and have many tasty concoctions. Today I tried the basic cake donut with white frosting that was then coated with black sesame seeds. I love black sesame seeds. I loved this donut. This is bad.
Experimenting with video for demonstrating the basics of the site. I am just learning the ropes on the whole screencasting thing but hopefully people will learn more about the site and I will get better at creating these.
KFC is not the answer. Maybe you know of a good street cart? Please add it for others to find. Thanks.
So when I am not looking for pizza I try to find the best fried chicken.
There are 2 places I swear by but they are both different.
The first one is near the Kampaeng Pet MRT in Chatuchak market. I think it is called the Dust Kitchen Floor in Thai.
Here is the link to it on durianseed.com. With the map you should be able to find it easily. This place has a simple menu, in English, and sticks to the basics of a few Isaa dishes, fried chicken, rice and drinks. It is all tasty, cheap and fresh. Place is always busy. The chicken alone is awesome but combined with the sauces it is even better. Simple recipe ensure juicy fried chicken. Amazing.
Second place is one of the joints in the Soi Polo area but actually on Soi Sanam Khli called Polo Fried Chicken. A different style of Chicken that is drowned in garlic before fried. Very tasty and a must if you enjoy garlic. This place also has a ton of other Thai food and is quite busy at lunch and early evening.
Two different styles of Fried Chicken but bother equally tasty.
We are currently experimenting with FaceBook Connect so that you can use your FB login to login into the blog and to durianseed.com. So excuse us for a bit while we work out the kinks. Once we get it going on the blog you will then see it on Durianseed as well.
Then we will add some other features like allowing you to share venues, reviews and blog posts on Facebook directly.
This is just the first wave of things we will be doing to allow you to use your favorite social network site alongside durianseed.
Such a controversial subject but someone must have an opinion on it - maybe even you. For me I am want a real deep-dish Chicago style pizza but I have to find one in Thailand.
However here are some options for good pizza in Bangkok - feel free to tell us what you think:
