Alaska Fairbanks Travel Guide β Food Edition
Alaska Fairbanks Travel Guide β Food Edition (Part 2) πβ¨ Siam Square (Thai Cuisine) β Located right next to the popular Japanese restaurant Ajimi π£. We originally planned to eat at Ajimi, but after entering, we realized it was a Japanese restaurant run by Koreans with Alaskan staff π§βπ³π©βπ³. The service was slow, and the menu didnβt look too impressive, so we quickly left πͺπ¨. Just 50 meters away, we found this cozy little spot with only one chef and a kind elderly lady serving π΅π. The grandma was super friendly and provided great service. Food Review: π Beef Tripe Pho (Pho Beef Combo): The broth seemed homemadeβrich and savory π². Plenty of beef, and the noodles were soft and chewy. I felt it was a tiny bit bland, but overall really good. The portion is hugeβdefinitely filling for one person! π π Spicy Fried Rice: Made with green peppers πΆοΈβhandle with caution! Even two people from Hunan found it quite spicy π₯π . Flavor was decent though. Consider ordering the non-spicy version if you prefer mild. π Thai-Style Fried Chicken: Freshly fried chicken chunks πβcrispy on the outside, juicy inside. Highly recommended! π Spring Rolls: Vietnamese-style, light and refreshing π₯π₯¬. Served with sweet chili sauce and filled with cucumber, bean sprouts, shrimp, and egg. A solid choice! π Small Buns (bottom right of the menu): Forgot the name, but tasted a bit like Costco steamed buns π₯. Served with vinegar and garlic sauceβportion of six was a bit small, but tasty. π Thai Milk Tea: Had a noticeable artificial sweetener taste π―, topped with thick cream. Not bad, but nothing special. π Hot Chocolate: Probably made with milk π₯βrich and creamy, also topped with whipped cream. Tasty and worth ordering! Average Cost: $35β40 per person π° #HiddenGemRestaurant#RestaurantRecommendations#ThaiFood#AlaskaFood#AlaskaTravel#AlaskaFoodGuide
