Gong Meng Chan Ba Mee Kiao — Restaurant in Samut Songkhram Province

I travel to Amphawa very often, like almost every month to spend a weekend there. And there are a number of shops in Amphawa which I will most definitely go on most of my visits. But one of my absolutely favorite of all time in Amphawa is actually gong meng chan noodles. It is my absolute MUST visit every single time when I travel to Amphawa. No excuses.

There are always people queuing on my every visit but thankfully the waiting time wasn't that long most times.

Its a traditional and unique shop that keep the noodles in a drawer.

On my every visit, I will only order dry noodles with bbq pork and dumplings, along with a hot bowl of dumpling soup. All of them upsize of course!

The bbq pork used in the noodles were very succulent, and perfectly moist unlike some other shops which I have been too were too dry. I can never get enough of their pork.

Pork dumplings was another highlight. Being in a bowl of really delicious hot broth, the dumplings were able to trap the sweet umami from the soup into the dumplings and ended up so flavorful that one bowl is almost never enough! Even with the hot broth, the dumplings doesn't split apart.

Authentic Thai Style Wonton noodles (60 baht) 🍜 the noodles are really chewy and minimal sauces really brings out the flavour of the handmade noodles. Alkaline smell is not very strong.

Lovely local place for a meal for an affordable price. I rate: 4/5 🌟

Iced Chai dam yan (15 baht) drink was really good and handmade as well! Super refreshing on a hot day 😍 I...

Another one from Gary Butler the Roaming Cook YouTuber. 100 year old hand made noodle shop just steps away from the Maeklong market rail station. This was worth the trip from Bangkok alone! The handmade noodles are tossed with garlic oil, Chinese sausage, and pork, some morning glory and spring onion. Get it with soup on the side and add if you like or enjoy on its own, it is sublime! We were the only farang in the shop just 50 meters from the market with hundreds of tourists, they don't know what they missed! Will be...
