Sawang Bami Kam Pu (Si Phraya) - Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant

Bangkok - Went to this Michelin Thai Chinese Wan Ton mee restaurant, now run by 3rd generation in a nondescript shop house. It was a small shop but luckily for us, it was not crowded. This restaurant is famous for Thai wanton noodles with crab claws.

Address: 264 Si Phraya Road, Maha Phruttharam, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500, Thailand

at Sawang Bami Kam Pu

Signature dish - crab claw noodle

It tasted delicious but each plate is very small, so you had to have at least 2 plates each to satisfy you. The crab claw is fresh and delicious and also the roasted pork is tender and satisfying.

Char siew noodle

Wan ton soup

Wan ton BBQ pork soup

Crab meat noodle

Each char siew noodle cost around Baht100 (about SGD4). All the dishes cost us around SGD35. This restaurant only accept Thai Baht and we only had Singapore dollar, so we paid them in SGD.

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded. Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect. I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared. My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup. Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off. I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup. I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
