My First Bite of Fermented Salmon: Bangkok's Best Kept Secret!
For the first time, I dove into fermented salmon soaked in soy sauce—even though I'm the type who steers clear of raw food!
Discovering Thai Dong Kha on Bustling Banthat Thong Street
"Thai Dong Kha 发酵生 腌海鲜" – right on the lively Banthat Thong road. At first, I thought I couldn't handle it. I imagined it being fishy, cold, and kinda scary since the spot specializes in fresh seafood marinated and fermented. It blends Thai sour-spicy flavors with the sweet freshness of salmon. But that legendary dipping sauce changed everything! The salmon is so sweet, fatty, and spicy... Now, just writing this, I wanna time-travel back for more 😋😋
Super Affordable Portions You Can't Resist
Grab takeout from the front line where you queue up. For dine-in, head straight inside and order small plates straight from the menu (I snapped pics!).
- 20 baht = 3 pieces of salmon
- 20 baht = 3 super fresh, crunchy-sweet shrimp
- And tons more—20 baht portions let you devour the whole menu!
Where to Find It & Why It's a Must
Check the address in the pics below—they've got multiple branches, so hit up the one near you! For me, it's the best dish in Bangkok. I went back twice before heading back to Saigon 🤣🤣
Khop khun kha for reading, everyone!
