34. Guay Teow Rhua

Guay teow rhua is known in Thai as "boat noodles," because the bowls of noodles used to be sold from boats.

The sweet pork blood broth in every bowl is sopped up by a choice of noodles sen yai (wide rice noodle), sen lek (medium rice noodle), sen mee (angel hair rice noodles) or wun sen (glass noodles).
A little bit of beef, pork, liver or pork balls, and a few sprigs of morning glory, are also added to the bowl.
What makes the noodles special is that the bowls are small at about three to five bites, and an average diner can eat many bowls. Tables sometimes compete to see who can stack their empty bowls the highest.
To experience the chaotic serving of boat noodles go to Sud Yod Guay Teow Rhua (Pa Yuk) ("Best Boat Noodle"), located at Victory Monument on the boat noodle alley, on the road heading towards Phahon Yothin. Open from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Tel: +66 (0)2 271 3178
