What’s the #1 thing you MUST do in Bangkok? Of course, it’s eating Thai food!! Why? Because once you eat it, you’ll remember it for life!

I mean.. Who doesn’t crave the spicy and sour flavour of Tom Yum Goong and savouriness (and nuttiness) of Pad Thai?! I definitely do!

Now, you can have all the Thai food you like for less than $4 each – made by renowned Thai eateries (including one mentioned in Thailand’s Michelin guide) serving food from ALL OVER THAILAND!

PLUS, it’s only a 9 minutes walk from Pratunam Market. 😉

So where’s a better place to spend your brunch, lunch and dinner than at foodwOrld @ CentralWorld?!

Not sure what to get? Here are 8 dishes we think is a must-eat.

While the former offers Thai dishes (e.g. Pad Thai and Pan-fried Seafood Omelette), the latter offers Thai and Western seafood dishes like Vongole and Salmon Basil Rice with Omelette.

2. Enjoy Thai northern-style dishes right here in Bangkok – Northern Thai dishes

Don’t have the time to visit Chiang Mai? No worries. Now, you can enjoy the same food you would up North at Khao Soi Lam Duan Fa Ham Chiangmai. These include the famous Northern-style Curry Noodle Soup with Chicken (Khao Soi), Northern Food Appetizer Set and Pork Satay.

Price

• Khao Soi Lam Duan Fa Ham Chiangmai (ข้าวซอยลำดวนฟ้าฮ่าม เชียงใหม่): from 65 baht/ USD $2.12

3. Enjoy a dish full of pork meat (fried and/or stewed!) – Thai stewed pork dish

If you LOVE pork meat, nothing’s better than eating this Thai stewed pork dish! Not only do you get to choose between stewed and fried pork (or have both), you can also add braised intestines and braised or boiled egg. And when you eat it together with some preserved and cooked vegetables and a dash of yellow chilli sauce? It tastes AMAZING!

Price

• Kha Moo St. Louis (ขาหมูเซ็นต์หลุยส์): from 59 baht/ USD $1.92

4. Get your Thai food to your liking (spice and taste-wise) – Order-to-eat food

Don’t know any other Thai food except for Pad Thai and Tom Yum Goong? Then I’d highly urge you to buy from an order-to-eat food stall. Here, you’ll be able to find a wide range of Thai food, from standard dishes like Stir-fried Basil with Rice to tze char dishes like Hor Mok – perfect for those who don’t know what to eat.

Note: While Siam Kinnaree Thai Cuisine requires you order from a menu (whose food is cooked on the spot), Siam Cuisine lets you choose [already cooked] food from the rack.

Price

• Siam Kinnaree Thai Cuisine: from 60 baht/ USD $1.96

• Siam Cuisine: from 40 baht/ USD $1.30

5. Authentic beef burgers and steak from Farm Chokchai – Western food

Farm Chokchai’s restaurant, Chokchai Steakburger, is finally open at CentralWorld! Serving the well-known Chokchai Steakburger as well as Chokchai Steak and Meat Spaghetti, get your fill of high-quality meat dishes here!

Don’t forget to order a side of fries (from 50 baht/ USD $1.63) to perfect your meal! 😉

Price

• Chokchai Steakburger: from 120 baht/ USD $3.92

6. Love noodles? Take your pick between Sukiyaki, Yentafo & Tom Yum! – Noodles

Feel like enjoying a warm bowl of noodle soup? You’ll have plenty of choices here!

Want something sweet and spicy? I recommend Yentafo at Nai Uan Yentafo Sao Chingcha.

Spicy and sour noodle soup? Then Tom Yum noodles at Kuay Teow Tom Yam Khai Zaab Cha Chu is your best bet.

But if you’re looking for something in between (minus the sourness), I’d advise getting Sukiyaki at Baan Petcharat Suki-Krapow Pla.

PS: If you prefer sweet-flavoured noodle soup, get either boat noodles at Kuay Teow Reua Rayong or kuay jab (rolled noodles) at Kuayjab Samtum.

Price

• Kuay Teow Tom Yam Khai Zaab Cha Chu (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวต้มยำไข่แซ่บชาชู): from 65 baht/ USD $2.12

• Nai Uan Yentafo Sao Chingcha (นายอ้วน เย็นตาโฟเสาชิงช้า): from 65 baht/ USD $2.12

• Baan Petcharat Suki-Krapow Pla (บ้านเพ็ชรรัตน์ สุกี้-กระเพราะปลา): from 55 baht/ USD $1.80

• Kuay Teow Reua Rayong (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือระยอง): from 25 baht/ USD $0.81

• Kuayjab Samtum (ก๋วยจั๊บ สามทุ่ม): from 55 baht/ USD $1.80

7. Have something spicy, sour yet healthy! – Thai-style Salad

Going on a healthy diet? Then you’ll want Som Tum (Papaya Salad with Mixed Vegetable). At Pin Rim Khong, they not only have the all-time favourite regular Som Tum but also other Som Tum versions like the Spicy Cockel Salad Isan Style and Papaya Salad with Blue Crab. Perfect for those wanting something with a little more kick (albeit a healthier version) for their meal.

Tip: Ask the cook to use less chilli if you prefer your dish to be less spicy (it’ll still taste good though!).

Price

• Pin Rim Khong (พิณริมโขง): from 80 baht/ USD $2.61

8. Satiate your sweet tooth with Thai sweets – Dessert time

Who doesn’t love sweets, especially traditional ones?! Here, you’ll be able to find various traditional dessert options – from the world-famous Mango with Sweet Sticky Rice to Soy Bean Pudding in Ginger Soup (with small fried breadsticks).

My favourite though? Black Sesame Ball in Ginger Soup. 😀

Price

• Khanom Wan Baan Mor (ขนมหวานบ้านหม้อ): from 30 baht/ USD $0.98

• Taohuay Ped Daeng (เต้าฮวยเป็ดแดง): from 25 baht/ USD $0.81

Special Mention 1: Samosas or Chicken Tikka Masala for lunch & dinner! – Indian food

We’re including this as a special mention since it’s above $4, but its still a must-eat! If you’re bored of Thai or Western food, then opt for Indian food! A branch of a popular Indian restaurant, you can get some Vegetable Samosas, Chicken Biryani and even a Vegetarian Set Thali (amongst other dishes) here! All your favourite Indian dishes served only at Mrs Balbir’s Indian Cuisine. 🙂

Price

• Mrs Balbir’s Indian Cuisine: from 195 baht/ USD $6.35

Special Mention 2: Get famous Thai snacks and desserts for to-go or dine-in – Snacks

Although not a part of foodwOrld, you can also get popular Thai snacks and dessert at the stalls located in between the foodcourt and supermarket. (Note: these stalls only accept cash)

Some snacks that are a must-buy here include their sweet crepe, Foi Thong Cake, Khanom Krok (Thai coconut pudding) and Yaowarat’s famous toasted buns (there’s no long queues here!!!).

Price

• Sweet Crepe: from 12 baht/ USD $0.39

• Foi Thong Cake from Noi Bakery: from 55 baht/ USD $1.78

• Khanom Krok: from 40 baht/ USD $1.30

Wit so much delicious food, make sure to come to foodwOrld @ CentralWorld the next time you’re in town!

Tip: If there are no empty seats on the first floor (or if it’s too crowded), we recommend going to the second floor (there are usually seats available there). Also, don’t forget to refund your cash card once you’re done eating too!
