Noodles with Lump Crab Meat and Shrimp Wontons at Or Tor Kor Market, Bangkok, Thailand

Noodles with Crab Meat and Shrimp Wontons

at Or Tor Kor Market, Bangkok, Thailand

200 baht (around $6) sounds expensive for a bowl of noodles in Bangkok, Thailand, and while I normally don't try to overpay on local food, I found this dish to be totally worth the extra baht. 

The savory broth was served over a base of bami egg noodles and topped with huge pieces of sweet, juicy crab meat and giant prawn wontons, which are exactly what they sound like - beautifully cooked Thai prawns wrapped in thin Chinese wonton sheets. The noodles are also served with chopped Chinese kale and topped with crispy fried garlic. The dish is also served with a small cup of spicy chili sauce to give the soup extra flavor and a nice, red color.

The noodles were delicious, but if you are looking for something a little less rich but equally filling, why not order a bowl of crab meat, roasted pork, fish balls, and wontons from the same shop? These noodles are a bit cheaper, at 100 baht, and the bowl is stuffed full of a variety of delicious ingredients. The roasted pork gives the dish its smoky, meaty flavor, and the wontons in particular were excellent.
