At the end of the year, the Bangkok delegation wanted to know about the novelties that are currently being developed, and they are currently studying in Bangkok.Good friend victorHelp, take us to this Northeastern Thai cuisine restaurant at BTS Saladaeng Station, and taste the most authentic Thai cuisine in Bangkok.
Transportation: How to get to the Somtum Der store in Bangkok?
First, take the BTS Silom Line of Bangkok Skytrain to Sala Daeng Station. After exiting the station, walk along Silom Road, then turn to Saladaeng Road, and walk for about 500 meters and 5-7 minutes. Arrive at the restaurant introduced in this article-Somtum Der.
A brief introduction to Somtum Der
Authentic Thai cuisine can be divided into four types of cuisines: Northern Thailand, Northeastern Thailand, Central and Southern Thailand. The most common Thai restaurants in Taiwan are Taiwanese improved versions. Not if the local features are sour, spicy or sweet, of course, moon shrimp cakes are even more nonsense. Thai cuisine, and currently every time there is a gourmet cuisine vote in Bangkok, the northeastern Thai cuisine always wins, mainly because the taste is more sour and spicy than the cuisine of central Bangkok, which fits the tastes of Thai people.
Northeastern Thai cuisine is also called Issan or Isan. Because of its geographical location close to Laos and geographical relations (not by the sea), it is the most famous dish of green papaya salad, looking at Bangkok. Local stalls sell this dish, and the sour, spicy, and lettuce are one of the common elements of Northeastern Thai cuisine. The Somtum der I will introduce here is the emerging Northeastern Thai restaurant in Bangkok.
The owner originally opened a restaurant in Northeast Thailand, hoping to bring Issan Thai Northeastern cuisine to Bangkok, so that more people can eat authentic delicacies. He also often researches and develops new dishes with his partners in the store. New dishes will be announced in the restaurant every month. On the fan club, its refreshing and non-greasy made me eat Northeastern Thai cuisine for the second time, and I really fell in love with it.A website selected this restaurant as one of the top 2012 Bangkok gourmet restaurants in 10 if you don’t eat it. Although I think this title is very sensational, my friends say that he will often come to eat after class or when he has time, and he will be full of customers when he leaves. It is really recommended.

Somtum Der dining experience sharing
There is no space for about 45 people inside and outside the seats. The overall decoration is white and red, with a small part of black. It is a split storey on the upper and lower floors.The boss offers Happy Hours every day from XNUMX to XNUMX in the afternoon. There is a beer time to complement the delicious food (Singha beer).
The dishes we ordered this time are based on the store’s signature dishes, such as cold green papaya shreds, roast pork, fried chicken, etc., supplemented by the staple food of Northeastern cuisine, glutinous rice and pho, and the rice of Northeastern cuisine is not as good as the jasmine flavor that is often eaten. Rice, but glutinous rice.The authentic way of eating is to grab glutinous rice with sauce, and eat it with lettuce. I think it tastes really good. After that, I slowly chewed out the chewiness of glutinous rice, the fragrance of sauce and the crispness of green vegetables. .Recommended for those who are already a Thai food glutton and want to try fresh.
The three of us had dinner here and then transferred to other renewal stalls. Although it was a treat by friends, I remember that the overall meal cost was about a few hundred baht. In fact, it was not expensive and the portion was moderate. It also changed my original impression of Northeastern Thai cuisine. Next time I come to Bangkok, I will visit Somtum der and eat more authentic Thai dishes.
