Floating on Bangkok C.B.D.
If you don't mind going a little rustic, Lek's food is great. In fact Lek is almost the only place in the area you find fresh seafood cooked in decent Thai style with a good price.
People may argue if those side walk seafood hawkers on Silom and Surawong Road are also good! I will not counter such pledge only if they insist stale and fishy seafood are good, with bonus that hygiene is never in the vendors mind. Remind you that those side walk seafood joints are not necessary cheaper in price though.
1. spicy cockles salad with mint and chilies (yum hoy krang)
2. crispy fish maw salad (yum sam krob)
3. fried river prawn in tamarind sauce (goong phad sauce makham)

So this is a floating seafood restaurant then.
If those people cook and shop in the market, they should know more about those sidewalk vendors' seafood quality. There were times I was "kidnapped" to those kinds of sidewalk vendors' for seafood. I just acted like "oh, so full, so full, after taking some veggie.". :) Of course, with high sodium seasoning and chilli/sugar/fat, anything can be "tasty".
no Stella, floating is only our palate, not the restaurant :)
Thanks TC.
$30 US for 2 people is cheap for tourists but not that cheap for local people.
You had a very nice touch up on the photo of the shop. :) Is it a new shop beneath Chongnonsi BTS? Seems like it's new but maybe not as I might treat it as a shop selling local fast food.
Stella, seafood shall never cheap, so $30 for local is still a cheap deal
Sea, this is not a new shop (at least 10 years already)
btw Stella, THB 800 is only $25 (not $30) even the US$ keep diving
Thank you TC.
hope the US$ is scuba diving. :)
I mean not more than scuba diving. :)
