Bangkok, Thailand|Mantis shrimp and Tom Yum Goong are both good to eat

Kang Ban Phe is a restaurant specializing in mantis shrimp. All the dishes in the restaurant are related to mantis shrimp, and the cooking methods range from steaming, stir-frying, boiling, deep-frying to sashimi. Combined with Thai cuisine, the deliciousness of mantis shrimp is brought out to the fullest. Seafood Tom Yum Noodle Soup is the signature dish here. The ingredients include shrimps, mantis shrimps, squid, fish balls, fish skin dumplings and fresh crab meat. The main character, the mantis shrimps, are thick and chewy, sweet and rich in shrimp paste, but there is only one shrimp, which makes people feel a little unsatisfied. The other main character should be the Tom Yum soup base. The soup made with mantis shrimps has a fresh taste with a creamy texture, and is sprinkled with coriander and crushed peanuts. It is very fragrant, and the sour and spicy taste is also authentic. The aftereffect of the little spicy is very sharp. Friends who love spicy food will enjoy it very much. With the golden-rimmed vermicelli that absorbs the soup, every bite is the stimulating taste of Tom Yum. Since it's a rare occasion here, of course I have to try other mantis shrimp dishes. I was greedy and ordered a large portion of Thai spicy and sour mantis shrimp sashimi (the small portion should be enough for one person). I estimated that the large portion had at least 6 large mantis shrimps cut in half. Normally, it would be quite awkward to peel the shells of mantis shrimps, but the shrimp shells here have been processed and can be peeled off easily. The ingredients of the cold salad are also very authentic, using Thai sour sauce, green and red peppers, raw garlic and mint leaves, which are both tasty and refreshing. The texture of mantis shrimp sashimi is a bit similar to lobster sashimi, soft and chewy, the shrimp meat and shrimp paste are crystal clear, and the taste is sweet and the shrimp paste is still very rich. Personally, I think that mantis shrimp of such quality can better highlight the freshness and taste of its shrimp meat and shrimp paste if cooked, but there should be few places to eat mantis shrimp sashimi, so friends who have never eaten it can try it.
