Khanom Jeen Soi Suan Plu is a small restaurant with just a few tables serving some of the best rice flour noodles in the city. You will find it on the left side of the road as you walk along Soi Suan Plu from Sathorn Street. If you see the Suanplu market on the other side of the road you have gone too far. There are a couple of large tables with the Khanom Jeen condiments set out so you should spot it easily enough.They serve the delicious noodles with four interesting sauces. There is a strong fish intestine curry (ask for gaeng tai plaa which roughly translates as "curry insides fish") that is our favourite. This is a standout with great depth of flavour and which lingers long on the palate. From watching the locals who were placing their orders it seems that it is a clear favourite of everyone. There is also a mild fish ball in coconut curry (namya plaa), and a classic green chicken curry (gaeng kiaow wan gai). We like them all.You sit at one of the shared tables which are covered in small bowl of 'extras' that you add to your khanom jeen plate. There are beautiful herbs, lovely pickles and lots of chopped vegetables. Make sure you add a selection of these condiments also take a boiled egg (which costs extra).And this beautiful breakfast that has been cooked with such skill will set you back around 35 baht which is the princely sum of US$1.
