TOSSAKAN: Berlin's Thai Culinary Gem
30-Euro Volcanic Pork Ribs That Feed You for Two Meals! 📍 Restaurant: TOSSAKAN Thai Street Food Address: Oranienstraße 143, 10999 Berlin (2-minute walk from U8 Kottbusser Tor subway station) Why It's a Must-Visit: Hailed as the "authentic Northern Thai food standard" by Berlin foodies, the Leng Saap volcanic pork ribs arrive steaming like a mini volcano. Priced at just 30 euros, the portion is enough to fill two people to the brim—even Thai international students vouch for its authenticity 🔥 🍴 Ordering Guide: Hits and Misses (with Hidden Eating Tips) 🌋 Leng Saap Volcanic Pork Ribs (Nr. 42) Portion Shock: A cast-iron pot holds 6 meaty ribs, accompanied by cabbage, corn, and lemongrass, still boiling when served 🌶️ The ribs are marinated in Northern Thai herb sauce for 4 hours, stewed until the meat falls off the bone. The soup is tangy and spicy with a hint of coconut milk sweetness. Leftover Hack: Take the leftovers home and cook rice noodles (Vietnamese pho is recommended). The soup instantly becomes a spicy and sour noodle base, transforming into a new dish the next day! 🦐 Raw Marinated Shrimp Nr. 13 Gung Dong Sweet and Fresh Bomb: 5 palm-sized tiger shrimp, peeled and de-veined, soaked in a marinade of fish sauce, lemon, and bird's eye chili. The shrimp meat retains its oceanic sweetness, while the garlic and lemongrass in the marinade enhance the flavor 💥 It is recommended to pair with the complimentary lettuce leaves for a refreshing contrast. ❌ Avoid: Spicy and Sour Fried Fish Nr. 25 Plah Lui Suan Disappointing Review: The basa fish is fried as hard as potato chips, the sweet and sour sauce is too sweet and not spicy enough, and the fish loses all moisture 🥀 For fried fish, it's better to visit Larb Koi next door for their lemon fried fish, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. 💡 Insider Tips for Thai Food Aficionados Spiciness Code: Tell the server "Thai spiciness" for the original version with bird's eye chili, or "Chinese spiciness" for 30% less heat. Cost-Effective Formula: Two people can order 1 portion of volcanic pork ribs, 1 portion of raw marinated shrimp, and 2 Thai milk teas for just 25 euros per person—leaving you too full to walk!
