Review of Famous Stewed Pork Leg Rice in Bangkok ● Kha Mu Charoensang Silom

Stewed pork leg in Thailand is like chicken rice in Singapore - they are everywhere and I have not yet come across a really bad one since I first tasted fell in love with it in the 1980s. Good stewed pork leg stalls are everywhere in Bangkok and Kha Mu Charoensang Silom is one of the best that I have tasted so far.

Review of Pang's Satay @ Chinatown Complex Food Centre ● Hainanese Satay in Singapore

I am always on the lookout for places that make their own satay as most stalls now use factory made satay that taste uniformly flat 🤷‍♂️ So, I am grateful to buddy Ben who alerted me to Pang's Satay in Chinatown Complex Food Centre.
