in bangkok, thailand (june’24)
my annual visit to my favourite se asian country, so so happy to be back to visit good friends and have the best street food. first dinner of the trip was at a very local isaan style shabu-shabu. sourcing local thai cows for their beef as well as cooked beef dishes which were both equally good and addictively spicy.
for starters, we got some local roast beef, beef tongue, raw shrimp and grilled pork neck. all served together with 2 dipping sauces, a salty spicier one and a sweeter one. the roast beef and beef tongue were really good, lean and tender with rich beefy flavour without being gamey. the raw prawn though spicy, dressed in a fish sauce chilli and garlic concoction was also a must order. (sorry for the poor photos, lost mine alongside my phone)
they serve two types of beef for the main hotpot, a type of beef shank and a chuck flap. both meats are extremely thin cut compared to shops in hong kong, leaving the shank with a unique crunchy texture and the chuck flap noticeably more tender. the broth was quite light, mild aromatics and a lot of chilli. they don’t top up with water or broth along the meal so the chilli concentration increases through the meal. a very unique spot and beginner experience into thai beef, recommend coming with a local for the best experience, thank you so much to the best host @luxebelly as always.
