Where to eat when in Bangkok? Som Tam Nua, Mango Tango, and Somboon

After our Floating Market tour, we went to Siam Square to go shopping. We saw from a far a stall with a small crowd waiting outside. It was Som Tam Nua, one of the CNN Go's best eats for 2010.

So even if we were still full from our brunch at the Floating Market, we decided to give it a try. We were on a waiting list, and was told to be back after 20-30 minutes. We strolled around and saw a cute mini food stall - Mango Tango.

As the name suggests, mangoes were all over the menu. I decided to try the mangoes + sticky rice + mango ice cream set.

Yummy sticky rice with mangoes

Though I am not a fan of sticky rice, I enjoyed this meal. It was actually great! :) But I think the Philippines' mango ice cream is still better than their ice cream.

Then we went back to Som Tam Nua to try their best seller: Thai Papaya Salad and Spicy Chicken Wings!

The papaya salad was also great! The chicken was also good but forgettable.


Our food trip for the day did not end there! After shopping around Siam and Pratanum, we had dinner at Somboon Restaurant to try out their fried curry crab.
