Guay Jub Chang Moi Tat Mai — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

It breaks my heart to say that this was the blandest thing I have tasted in Chiang Mai apart from bottled water. The shop was not bad at all. People working here seemed nice and they helped me get a seat in no time. It looked just like a typical old Thai restaurant so it should be noted that some foreigners may not be familiar with the vibe or feel welcomed. It is something people need to understand. Back to the food, I ordered Guay Jub Piset (Special Guay Jub) which I think was 10-15 baht more expensive than the regular one. The soup is so bland. I couldn’t feel any essence of broth or stock. It was blander than soup with Knorr or other kind of MSG. The noodle was just sufficient for you to know that there were some in the bowl. It was not a very well made noodle so I think they didn’t make it in-house. Moo Krob (Crispy Pork) is the best thing in the bowl, but not exclusively amazing or exceeding my expectation. If you have had a good Moo Krob before you would notice that this restaurant’s was not on par with other places. They offered you a number of condiments which I guessed was to substitute for the emptiness of flavor in the soup. So, I was not very impressed but if you are someone looking for a quick meal in Chiang Mai while shopping around Tha Pae gate, this would...

I had an absolutely delightful experience at this local eatery! The traditional dishes they offered were incredibly delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised by the delightful flavors.

The Crispy Pork was a standout dish. It was cooked to perfection, with a crispy outer layer that wasn't greasy at all. The meat inside was tender and succulent, making each bite a true pleasure. I found myself savoring every morsel of this delectable dish.

The Rice Cake Soup was equally impressive. The bowl was filled with generous portions of ingredients, creating a satisfying and hearty meal. The broth was rich and flavorful, perfectly complementing the rice cakes and other ingredients. It was a bowl of comfort that left me feeling content and satisfied.

One thing that made the experience even more enjoyable was the reasonable pricing. Despite the high-quality and delicious food, the prices were quite affordable, making it a great option for both locals and visitors alike.

Moreover, the owner's warm and friendly demeanor added a special touch to the dining experience. Their hospitality made me feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer, making the whole visit even...

50 years old Michelin Guide kuay jaab in a little soi of a neighborhood shophouse. I didn’t know it was Michelin guide shop but I could see why.

Nice history with a good taste and unique twist to back up the claim. It’s the first time I’ve had a kuay jaab (a Thai Chinese twisted noodle in a pork based broth containing several kind of pork, egg, and innards (make sure to tell them no innards if that’s not your thing).

The normal size dish is only 70 THB (about $2.2 USD). Their twist is the addition of a fermented northern sausage with a MIH my pungent taste to it. Crispy pork done well.

The shop also offers kuay teaw lord and Thai fresh spring roll. The former is a more difficult food to find nowadays. I’ll return to try it.

Just across is a moo satay place. It’s very nice and many people will order from there to eat in the restaurant. Since the 2 vendors have a cordial relationship you can just pay for it along with what you eat in the shop...
