Fans of spicy food and seafood will love this one: Muek Lung Dej (Uncle Dej's Squid), the hottest street food stall in the Ngamwongwan area right now. Everyone who comes stops for a taste, and it has been selling for more than 16 years.

How it works
Muek Lung Dej is a stall at an evening market, so there is no seating. There is only the front counter, serving customers who buy food to take home. At the back is the charcoal grill area where the squid is cooked, and at the front is a display of squid where customers can pick whatever they like, so everyone queues at the front. The stall is open from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. (or until sold out).
Menu and prices
The only thing on the menu is grilled squid, but there are many different parts and cuts, so you can choose what you like. Prices are 20, 30, 80, 90 and 100 baht per skewer. The squid is seasoned with the stall's secret recipe so the flavour really gets into the meat, then grilled over a fierce charcoal fire for that signature smoky aroma. Service is quick and efficient, so you won't wait as long as you might think.
The star: a three-flavour dipping sauce
The thing customers keep coming back for is the three-flavour dipping sauce, punchy and perfectly balanced between spicy, sour and sweet. If you don't like it too hot, there is a sweet sauce as well. Besides the full flavour, the sauce comes with sides like garlic and coriander, and you can ask for as much as you want! Sauce lovers will be in heaven. You can also choose to have the sauce on the side or poured over. With everything this good, you should stop by if you get the chance.
