Today Meeting Point Thailand is taking you to Aep Aroi Soi Wat Si. The name means "secretly delicious", but there's nothing secret about how good it is. Every dish is loaded with toppings and the quality is solid. If you get the chance to visit Nakhon Nayok, eat here and you won't be disappointed.
Nakhon Nayok is a province not far from Bangkok, quick to get to and packed with great places to eat, like this one. Portions are generous and loaded. There's only one auntie cooking, so if you come around lunchtime you may have to wait a bit.
Some people say the place is quirky because it's run out of the owner's own house, ha ha. We think it's simply down-to-earth, which makes it feel relaxed, like eating at a friend's place. Most importantly, the owner is really kind. It's a simple shop, but the food is really delicious.
Dishes start at just 35 baht, and side dishes to share start at 60 baht.
What we ate
Seafood rad na was our pick, and we ordered a second plate because one wasn't enough. It's that good. The rad na here has its own character: the noodles carry a smoky wok aroma. If you like that style, you'll love it. The portions are big, too.
There are plenty of other dishes as well:
- Yen ta fo: pork or seafood
- Fried rice: pork or seafood
- Kaprao (holy basil stir-fry): offal, sliced pork, minced pork, crispy pork, seafood or beef
- Stir-fried Chinese kale: pork or crispy pork
- Pad see ew: pork or seafood
- Rad na: pork or seafood (seriously good, loaded with toppings, with smoky wok-fried noodles)
- Suki: pork or seafood
There are many more dishes on the menu, more than we could remember.
If you don't want one-plate meals, you can order side dishes to share at 60 baht a plate. The auntie is lovely and really looks after her customers. Just tell her what you do or don't eat and she'll happily adjust, which is great for picky eaters like us. This is proper made-to-order food. If you're nearby, you can also call ahead to order.
