Bangkok Local Som Boon Seafood | Local Poo Pad Pong Curry Restaurant | Menu Recommendation
#ThailandTravel
Hello:)
During my last vacation in Bangkok,
I visited a local Poo Pad Pong Curry restaurant
and started writing to leave it as content!
It was so impressive..
In fact, both my husband and I
chose it as the most delicious meal during our trip to Bangkok!
The Somboon Seafood that I'm introducing today
is located a little bit away from the MBK Ma Boon Kong Center in Bangkok.
It's about 1.2km,
so it takes about 15 minutes if you walk slowly,
or about 5 minutes by Grab😉
(Assuming there's no traffic 😅)
A local Poo Pad Pong Curry restaurant in Bangkok
Somboon Seafood
On Google Maps, it had over 3,000 reviews
and a 4.3 star rating.
I went there because my husband's friend recommended it
and I really didn't regret it!
As you can see in the picture, the restaurant is large
and it's not a shabby restaurant
but it's a bit pricey for a Southeast Asian restaurant 😅
It seemed like a place where locals
go when they go out for a group meal or have a gathering
at another table.
It says 'Som Boon Seafood' under this cute sign.
In front of the restaurant, there was a lot of seafood
as if it was a market.
The menu itself was so big and there were so many vendors😢
I couldn't take pictures of everything
so I took a screenshot from Google Maps.
I brought the menus that we ordered.
First, we ordered the seasoned fried sea bass
and today's main dish, the famous Bangkok Som Boon Seafood,
Poo Pad Pong Curry.
We ordered size M, but the portion was bigger than we thought..
My husband and I ordered 3 menus for 2 people
and ordered a large size, so we were really.. full 🤣
And now, somehow, we ordered the stir-fried morning glory (hollow-hearted vegetable) that became the reason we came to Thailand.
I thought it would be disappointing if the portion was small, so I
ordered size L,
and I don't regret it👍
Morning glory that is so satisfying no matter how much you eat!!
They said you have to order ice separately.
We ordered a large size.
Even though we only ordered cola,
we received excessive service
where they poured cola on ice..
The first menu was morning glory!
I was so happy because the portion was large because it was size L🤤

The one with whole garlic was also so delicious.
Next is the main menu of Bangkok Som Boon Seafood!
Poo Pad Pong Curry is here👍
There was a Poo Pad Pong Curry menu at Som Bun Seafood,
but we ordered the Poo Pad Pong Curry made only with crab meat.
Can you see the round crab meat🤤
The crab meat version, not the crispy fried one,
was really soft and delicious!
When you eat crab meat, if it were frozen, it would fall apart,
but looking at the soft texture, you could tell right away that they used fresh crab meat!
The sweet taste of crab meat was a bonus👍
Next, the fried sea bass came out.
It looked like it had a lot of spicy peppers in the seasoning,
but it wasn't spicy at all!
I took apart the meat inside🧐
Soft meat inside!
The seasoning went really well with it.
The fried part on the outside was crispy,
but the inside was soft,
and the salty seasoning was just right.

This photo makes me feel like my stomach is going to burst😅
