Panchalee Vietnamese Restaurant |
Panchalee is a rather unassuming restaurant in a quite lane off trendy (and rather hectic) Nimmanhaemin Road, which is great because I can easily find parking! It's really nice to sit in the outdoor section - in fact, most of the diners opt to sit there, at least when I've been here for dinner. Bring your mosquito repellants though if you don't want to get eaten alive!
My favourites (so far) at Panchalee:
Kuay Jub (Vietnamese Noodle Soup) - 40 baht
Kuay Jub (Vietnamese Noodle Soup) |
Shrimp on Sugarcane (85 baht)

"Pak Mor" - Pork mixed with spring onion in steamed flour - 50 baht
The flour "skin" is amazing. Just the right consistency. Sticky and soft enough to hold everything together, but we are still able to break the "pak mor" easily with our spoon or fork. Tasty and aromatic filling. Topped with "moo yor" - sliced pork loaf. Really good when steaming hot!
These were just some of the dishes that I enjoyed. There are plenty more that I'd love to try.
Their herbal drinks are great too (and importantly - not sweet!).
As you can see I rather enjoyed the restaurant and the food here. Very clean, great (and inexpensive) food. Very friendly staff. They were so nice - we were the last customers sitting around and chatting till about 9pm and none of the staff made us feel like they were in a hurry to go home.

Just visited this place - in my opinion, its not real Vietnamese food.. rather its a Thai interpretation of what they think Vietnamese should taste like. =)
The Banh Cuon filling was not close to anything I had in Vietnam.. also most of the menu here looks like Thai food.
