I realise this is a bit late but we have some exciting things coming up soon at Soi 38 so I thought I should send out a little reminder about how delicious Thai noodle soups are. Especially the Sukhothai noodles sold at the Soi 38 stand at the recent Indonesian Festival at Queen Victoria Market.
The soup version of Sukhothai (nahm) was very popular and incredibly delicious. The pork crackle topping is so tasty, you can also see the picked turnip and chilli on the right side of the bowl. The combination of flavours and the sweetness of the palm sugar is really something special. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Pho who? Pho get it! Pho eey!!! It's a knockout win for Sukhothai from this judge.
While the soup verison of Sukhothai was superb, the dry version (haeng) was off the scale. Dream's Mum gave Melbourne a once in a lifetime opportunity to sample her family recipe and those who got lucky will long remember how amazing it was. I was instantly transported to Bankok on tasting my first mouthful, you could almost smell the durian in the air! We haven't been lucky enough to get to Thailand this year but tasting this dish was a nice way of getting a small fix of our favourite holiday destination.
Our good friend Nang Kwak (bottom left) obviously appreciated our offering of Sukhothai noodles and gave her special blessing to Soi 38.
Some of our very happy customers! Our good friends Kenny and Benny from Consider the Sauce were also very satisfied customers, you read their review here.
Those who missed the amazing Soi 38 Sukhothai noodles don't despair. We are rolling the cart out again very soon, and this time is going to even bigger! So keep your Friday nights in August free and start stockpiling those $5 notes!
