Khao Soi Khun Yai

THAI STREET FOOD

Noticeably different from most Khao Sois, it had an added depth and sourness to it. It really reminded me of Boat Noodles in Bangkok, so I asked the owner if they use pork blood but she said they don't and I wasn't able to find out where the sour taste was coming from.

Sadly they don't have a tofu version; only pork (35B), chicken (35B) and beef (40B). I had the pork as they didn't have chicken (presumably they'd run out). I don't think the pieces of meat add anything to the dish, so I usually get tofu.

"My favourite, though, was Khao Soi Khun Yai, a small cart-and-tables set-up on a patch of waste-ground beside Wat Kuan Kama. The broth is glorious: fragrant but subtle, rich but not oily, and the perfect balance between spicy, sour and sweet."
