Savor spicy basil chicken over jasmine rice, Issan-style grilled pork with sticky rice, shrimp dumplings, steamed buns filled with red pork, papaya salad, pork knuckle with rice, pandan custard doughnuts, crispy Thai pancakes and much more. Along the way, discover family-run stalls and markets where recipes are passed down through generations, and end on a sweet note with black sesame dumplings in warm ginger tea.
