My number one food love…khao soi

• 

I have a confession. A few months after moving to Bangkok I fell completely, deeply in love. The objects of my affection? Khao soi.

Khao soi is a curry soup-like dish with egg noodles and chicken. It’s topped with deep fried, crispy noodles, as well as pickled greens, shallots and lime which you add to suit your taste. It’s the best. If you haven’t tried it yet, I strongly urge you to go out now and give it a go!

I’m lucky enough to live 100 metres away from one of the best places to get a khao soi fix in Bangkok (Ong Tong in Ari). However, Khao soi is from northern Thailand and is the most famous dish of Chiang Mai. Having spent the last few days in this chilled city, I decided to go on a khao soi hunt….
