Thai Street Hawker Makes Restaurant-Style Omakase For As Cheap As US$0.60 | Lunch With Us: Bangkok

Описание: Cancer patient Chuntana introduces us to a one-of-a-kind street hawker in Bangkok, who serves not only humble pork noodles, but also restaurant-standard omakase meals from his van.

Customers name the price – anywhere from 20 baht (US$0.60) to his most lavish order yet,10,000 baht (US$298) -- and Chatree Suksumit, better known as Chef Ah, creates his special menu. It’s all cooked out of his humble modified food van, and can be tailored to special dietary needs.

Chef Ah was at Suphapong Alley 1 in Nong Bon when we met him – but the metropolitan authorities’ clean-up of Bangkok’s streets is threatening hawkers like him, who have been forced to move.
