MaiMai Eatery, a gourmet restaurant in Bangkok, is the latest reward for this trip back home. My friend said, "There is a restaurant recommended by Michelin. Let me tell you about its dishes and desserts..." (in a tone of excitement and recommendation), because these friends who are traveling in Thailand can always discover it. The food is super delicious, so I went there with high expectations. The brand-new store decoration is beautiful and bright, and the old mother’s craftsmanship is inherited. I have to say that it is super delicious. From salads to meals, desserts, and drinks, I really want to go there again! (How delicious? Just read on)

Authentic Thai cuisine and a comfortable dining environment!
Under the enthusiastic guidance of our friends, we finished ordering all the signs in the store. During the cooking process, the aroma of wok gas occasionally came from the food, but it was not the big aroma of a quick-fried restaurant, which is enough to make people hungry. After a while, the service staff first served drinks to quench your thirst, and then served various meals in order. In order to make it easier for you to follow the example, the following dishes are organized as follows. The taste has been evaluated by you. There is no excessive seasoning with MSG, and some are full of MSG. Layers of Thai spices and the crispy taste of fresh ingredients!
- Popsicle Sparkling Drink: Popsicles made from kiwi, pineapple, watermelon, and strawberry. Add it to the sparkling drink and drink it very refreshingly!
- Fried Tofu and Taro: Fried tofu and taro sticks have a bit of oily aroma. They must be paired with the boss’s special sauce. It is salty and a little sweet, a perfect match.
- Stir-fried prawns and beef with eggs: The aroma of wok gas comes from this dish. The size of the beef and prawns is no joke. The meat is tender and elastic.
- Chive pancake: Wrap leek segments in pancake skin, pan-fry and serve out. Eat it alone to taste the original flavor of the food. You can also pour some soy sauce on it. It’s delicious.
- Fried pork rinds: This is a common street snack, and I like it very much. I didn’t expect the fried pork rinds from the boss’s family to be more delicious. The oil is forced out by repeated deep-frying, but there is no smell of oil after entering the mouth, and only the aroma lingers.
- Cold Assorted Seafood and Glass Noodles: The spicy and sour flavor has peanuts and garlic to enhance the flavor. Prawns and flower branches are rolled into the glass noodles and go well with rice (again, the ingredients are very large)
- Shredded crab meat fried cakes: Moon shrimp cakes or money shrimp cakes are commonly seen, but this is the first time we tried it. It is made of crab meat and is like a ball. When you peel it off, you can see the real ingredients. It is the favorite dish of Little Hamburger (this kid) Know how to eat!)
- Shrimp and Pumpkin Rice Noodles: It’s a bit similar to Taiwan’s Pumpkin Rice Noodles. This is because the proprietress and the others are of Chaozhou descent. As soon as you taste it, you will feel the familiarity of your mother’s cooking. You can’t help but eat several more bowls.
- Satay: It is also a common dish in Thai restaurants, but the chicken they cook has a slightly burnt aroma and is not spicy at all. I like to eat it with onion sweet sauce (usually two sauces are given, the transparent one is highly recommended)
- Thai pho: In addition to peanut powder, the store also provides Thai chili powder. For those who like spicy food, be sure to mix it all in. The Q-bomb pho has a soy sauce and chili aroma, which is very powerful.
- Northeastern grilled chicken: This must be pretty good. The chicken skin is salty and sweet, the chicken is soft and tender, and it is paired with special spicy sauce. It is Wendy’s favorite dish.
- Cold green papaya shreds: Compared with other commercially available products in Thailand, the sauce and ingredients are almost the same, but there are more peanuts and garlic. I personally like to eat peanuts mixed with green papaya shreds. The portion is sufficient and no need to add extra. !
- Stir-fried prawns with eggs and mimosa: The bottom layer is a kind of green vegetable "mimosa" that is common in traditional Thai markets. It is a large handful of dark green. The store picks the tender ends, which tastes not astringent and nutritious.
- Classic Boat Noodles: The boat noodle soup made by the boss lady is slightly fragrant with Chinese medicinal materials, and it uses large pieces of pork to reward the gourmets who come from afar without mercy. It is suitable for people who do not eat beef.
- Fried rice with seabass fillet: After reading all the previous dishes, we must say that we can eat it very much. Finally, we added a fried rice. The seabass fillet was soft and served with slightly spicy rice. It was so full that we couldn’t stop eating it.
- Honey Banana: This dessert amazes me. The banana is soaked in honey and appears slightly transparent. Cut a small bite to eat it full of honey and banana flavor.
- Coconut roasted pudding: This is highly recommended by friends. It is the store’s signature dessert. The coconut meat is dug out to make the pudding filling, and then put back into the coconut and grilled. The pudding has the refreshing taste of coconut meat and is super delicious.

✅Comprehensive evaluation: The taste of hometown mom recommended by Michelin in 2021
We got a lot of delicious food during this trip to Bangkok. When I posted the news on my Facebook account, my little sister even questioned, "Why didn't you take us to eat at this restaurant?" At that time, I first took them to eat at another chain Thai restaurant, MaiMai Eatery. Later, I forced my friends to hand over the list of delicious food, so I promised to take them to eat in the future. After all, if I want to find a hotel with air-conditioning, beautiful environment, reasonable unit price and wonderful food, it must be them!
