Yim Yim — Restaurant in Samphanthawong Subdistrict

Located in the bustling streets of Yaowarat, we stumbled upon a hidden gem of a restaurant with a promising "Green Bowl" rating. Intrigued, we decided to take a chance, and it turned out to be a culinary revelation. The dish that stole my heart was the goose web noodles; a symphony of flavors that instantly catapulted it to the top of my list of Bangkok favorites.

However, my previous encounter with tough goose web at Somboon Seafood in Ratchadah had left me apprehensive. This delightful meal was a much-needed redemption.

For our party of four, we ordered the goose web noodles along with two bowls of shark fin soup. Each dish delivered a burst of authentic flavors that surpassed our expectations. The noodles, in particular, were a revelation, a perfect balance of texture and taste.

All the dishes were good! Not a regular tourist spot, but I made a reservation nevertheless.

Suckling pig is 2,200 baht. Not recommended if your group is only 2-3 pax. Order few different dishes to try as the cooking is good! We went in...
