#SundayWellSpent: Exploring the Essentials of Soi Langsuan

We start with a restaurant that serves fusion Thai-Vietnamese cuisine that has a very welcoming ambience at the end of Soi Langsuan. Thang Long has been opened for the past 30 years and it is without a question one of those restaurants that after trying it for the first time, anyone would want to come back for another meal. The standout dishes include the Vietnamese Suki (THB 325), shrimp chạo tôm (THB 250), and grilled pork ribs and fried sticky rice (THB 220). The dessert menu also ensures that you can end your meal with a smile – try the lychee jelly (THB 95) which comes with tasty lychee sprinkled over a red jelly that perfectly combines sweet and sour. You can enjoy all of this in the spacious 2-floor restaurant that is decked out in wooden décor both in their indoors and outdoors seating areas.

If you are looking for a dessert place that can also cook up a mean savory dish then Crepes & Co should be your destination of choice. Whether it is the taste of the food, the ambience of the restaurant or the service by their staff Crepes & Co shows up in full. Standing in front of the restaurant you can feel the relaxing energy that the warm white building surrounded by greenery exudes. As you enter the restaurant itself, they contrast that external energy with a cool a chic feels through their décor, furniture, and orange lighting that elevates the restaurant and makes for an interesting dining experience. The menu composes of multiple Mediterranean influences. We recommend the Crepe Crumble (THB 280) a chocolate crepe served with homemade mixed berry crumbles and chocolate chip ice cream sprinkled with chocolate sauce to combine elements of sweetness with the tangy sourness of the berries.

Everyone says that Bangkok is the mecca of street food. No matter where you walk you is bound to find some cart selling some form of the local delicacy. Soi Langsuan may not be as busy as famed street food areas like Yaowarat, but it does have its fair share. Find yourself a full meal, some snacks, or dessert for cheap from the beginning to the end of the street. Of course, expect full-flavored meals just like you would typically get from these food carts in dishes like fermented Esarn Sausage, spicy salads, grilled pork sticks, or fried meatballs, available along the footpath.
