Today Meeting Point is taking you to Bang Saen. When people think of Bang Saen, they think of the sea and seafood, right? So today we're going for spicy, fresh seafood. Coming all this way without eating it would be like not coming at all.
Ang Sila is known for fresh, tasty seafood and is popular with visitors to Bang Saen, including us at Meeting Point. Every time we're here, we stop to eat around this area. If you've ever driven along the Ang Sila to Bang Saen road, you'll have seen a long line of seafood restaurants, from famous old-timers to newly opened spots.
Most of the restaurants along the Ang Sila waterfront are simple, local-style places with sea views. Walk into whichever one catches your eye. The long-established ones with lots of reviews get busy, so you may have to queue. This time we tried somewhere a little less hyped: Krua Chomphu, a seafood restaurant with great food, a nice view and a balcony that juts out over the water.
This is our pick of the day: Krua Chomphu Seafood Ang Sila, tasty and fresh, and one we'd really recommend. It's on Ang Sila Road and serves fresh seafood with a big, varied menu. We're telling you, once you try it you'll be hooked. Prawns, squid, shellfish: it's all a hit.
What we ate
Grilled squid: Tender, lightly smoky, with no fishy smell, and not tough or too chewy. With seafood dipping sauce, it's the best.
Freshly steamed crab: Firm, fresh crab meat that's hard to stop eating. With seafood sauce and hot steamed rice, it's pure comfort.
Papaya salad with pickled crab and pla ra: A must at every meal, wherever you are. Spicy and savoury, and the spicier the better. With freshly served hot seafood, one plate isn't enough. Sip the pla ra dressing and wow, it's fiery!
If you're registered for government schemes, you could use the co-payment scheme (Khon La Khrueng) or the We Travel Together scheme here too. Great value, so you can eat your fill.
The staff are lovely and kind, always happy to give directions. Most importantly, prices aren't too steep, so you can eat well at Krua Chomphu without fuss. Give it a try.
