Bok Kia Thadindaeng 潮州清湯冰甜品 — Restaurant in Somdet Chao Phraya Subdistrict

Never knew such a simple dessert would appear in the Michelin Bib Gourmand list. It might be one of the cheapest dishes to be in that list. What's more surprising is that a Chinese dessert could actually be in that list! Decided to try and see what is so good about it, and there was already quite a long wait at the stall. As a foreigner it is not easy to take an order because everything is in Thai, and I was standing there waiting for help while some people already cut me in the queue and placed order. It's not easy ordering because you have to write the order yourself on a piece of paper and pass it to one of the aunties there. Finally one of the aunties came to my rescue and I had to point at what I wanted. She showed me the ingredient list and I told her which one I didn't one and she started preparing it for me. What's so special was that there was this item inside which looks like the thin noodles, I think its probably noodles but I kept denying the fact because I have the impression noodles won't taste nice in desserts. In fact, I really enjoyed it and I almost wanted to order more! It just ticks all the boxes: simple, cheap, good, enjoyable. Definitely one of the best desserts eaten so...

This Michelin Bib Gourmand dessert shop only opens at 3.30pm and closed by 8pm. So please take note before you set off for a visit.

For the new customers like me, it was quite confusing. There was a crowd outside the small shop with only one guy eating inside the shop. A makeshift barrier was blocking the entrance. Just step up to the stall owner (see pic attached- the one in blue trousers and wearing an apron). Tell her in English you wish to dine in and number of pax. She will remove the barrier and arrange a table for you to sit down. There is no English menu. Just point at the first item on the menu which is their signature - a mixture of everything.

When my bowl of ice shavings came, I was surprised with the number of items in it. There was corn, sweet potato, water chestnut, red beans, Chinese herbal jelly or chin chow, slices of fresh coconut, glutinous rice wedges, slivers of jackfruit, lotus seeds and noodles. Yes! Noodles!

But the concoction was so delicious. Not too sweet and definitely the stuff made for cooling you down on a hot summer day.

Well deserved Michelin Bib Gourmand nod. Strongly...

This Michelin-starred Thai shaved ice dessert, honored for six consecutive years from 2019 to 2025, is a true masterpiece of flavors and textures—all for just 35 baht.

Tender red beans and soft coconut meat pair seamlessly with chewy noodles and silky glass jelly, while sweet bursts of corn and fragrant jackfruit complement the satisfying crunch of fresh water chestnuts.

Served over fluffy shaved ice, it’s a refreshing and perfectly balanced dessert that proves simple ingredients can create...
