The last time I flew out of Don Mueang in Bangkok, I stayed at an airport hotel in a really pleasant neighborhood. Small cafés and local restaurants sat side by side, and there was life in the streets from early morning until late at night. I walked around for a bit, checking menus, before eventually stepping inside Madam Zabb.
Right by the entrance was a large wok where the food was being cooked. I stopped by in the early afternoon, in that quiet window between lunch and dinner, so the small restaurant wasn’t very busy. I ordered fried rice and asked if I could take a photo of the cooking. That was no problem at all, and I was even asked if I wanted to film it. Yes, please. Thank you!
Rice and eggs went into the wok, were tossed quickly, and a few minutes later the dish was served, topped with a little scallion, and served with cucumber slices and a lime wedge on the side. With a bit of the homemade chili sauce from the table, it tasted even better A good, inexpensive meal in a very local and genuinely cozy neighborhood.
