If you're looking for Tom Yum Goong Noodles in a creamy soup, you'll find pure delight at P'Aor. Here are the details: Tom yum goong is one of Thailand's most popular dishes. In fact you might remember a video I did awhile ago about the easy recipe for tom yum goong But along with just the soup, noodles in tom yum soup is also an extremely common dish throughout restaurants and the streets of Bangkok. There are two kinds of tom yum soup, one is the clear version, and one is the creamy version (normally made creamy by the addition of condensed milk. Now on the streets of Bangkok you'll find infinite stalls hawking clear tom yum soup noodles, but it's rare to find noodles with the creamy tom yum goong soup. except if you head over to the famous P'Aor ) restaurant where you'll find a seriously epic bowl of shrimp tom yum goong noodles. Just off Petchaburi Soi 5 is P'Aor. I was super psyched to be eating and as soon as we sat down, we ordered a number of dishes. The first dish was the Khao Goong Rad Sauce Man Boo. It began with a plate of white rice which was topped with a huge jumbo prawn before being covered in thick creamy oily juices from the head or a crab. The sauce was immaculate, lightly sweet from the crab and spiced with a light curry. It was seriously amazing, especially if you really enjoy seafood. Next I ordered Ba Mee Yok Neau Ob ) which is egg noodles topped in oven baked beef. Yet again, P'Aor ) absolutely hammered it home with this dish, it was exquisite. The egg noodles, while normally yellow in color, are made green for this dish but really have no taste difference than the normal yellow egg noodles. Finally it was time to take my first bite of what could easily be the best and definitely the most epic bowl of kuay Kuay Teow Tom Yum Goong Nam Khon ) in Bangkok. The duo of jumbo prawns sitting on top of the soup was quite a sight to behold. They were meaty monsters, and the first step to eating any bowl of this soup would be to peel off the shell, dip the body of the prawn into the tom yum soup and devour it. And of course, don't forget to suck out all the marvelous buttery juices from the head of the shrimp. The noodles were remarkable, sponging up all the insanely flavorful creamy broth. While I'm sure they did make the soup creamy with some condensed milk, they also used a generous amount of shrimp head juices and oils in the soup to create the intensely rich flavor. Another thing I loved about their soup was that it was nicely spiced with herbs and lemongrass and the galangal could really be felt. If you're looking for perhaps the best tom yum soup noodles in Bangkok, you most definitely need to go to P'Aor ) restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand

Hey Mark. How are you doing? I am doing well and I just want you to know I am now your big fan in this youtube in Bangkok, Thailand. I am so grateful that you have taught me lot things going on in Thailand. I have learn that there are so many good place to visit to eat and seems like you have always enjoy most of your visit. Speaking of Tom Yum. is it spicy? and how do you handle the Prawn to get off the shell. Is it possible that I can ask the cooker to remove shell before serving?

Mark Wiens Based on your review I went to check the place a few weeks ago with my GF. We are Thai food lovers. First of all the address was not right on Trip advisor and it took us quite some time to eventually find it. Luckily I speak a little Thai. Tom Yum is extremely sour and not even remotely creamy. At least the shrimps were big. Some of the other food found on the menu was mediocre at best. I guess we expected too much. Don't get fooled by this video review(3/5)

well I thought the fetus comment was funny. I have often thought fetuses and shrimp look alike. And I want that soup Bangkok is on my bucket list and I WILL eat there Roaches be damned I would like to know how to get there (Cheaply) and what time of year to go where the weather is not too rainy, not too hot. etc. Once I get there, I know things are inexpensive. It is just getting there and when to get there that I am clueless about.

wow - you are getting some really mean comments Mark. Good for you for not changing anything. People who are genuinely interested in the food and the info probably wont care enough to be mean in the comments. But it would be good if you could include some other info - like what type of oil Thai, Korean or Vietnamese restaurants generally use - what to do if you have allergies - food poisoning caution etc.

Mark, we were there last week and the river prawns they served were no where as big or fresh as the ones in your video. They were limp I'm from SE Asia and we know our seafood and Tom yum goong. My 70 year old mom was so excited to go to P'Aor after watching your videos but she was bitterly disappointed. Such a let down

Hey Mark, how can I find the place, I searched in google map (Petchaburi Soi 5) but I am not exactly sure the place that showed was the right one. Can you post a link with the exact point where is located? That would be great. Thanks a lot.

Been to Bangkok a few times, but don't really into Thai food, as most of the time, I go for western food instead. But for my this coming Bangkok trip in October, I make sure I will tried all the Thai specialties recommend by you Awesome

I ate at that place twice 1. 5 years back. Last week I went there again and this time the quality seemed to have dropped. For a small bowl with a prawn costing 60 Baht is a bit steep; worse is the prawn - it wasnt fresh and it wasnt big
