Little Saigon Big Bangkok

Together with my new teammates, we went to Little Saigon Big Bangkok on a very humid noon. We first planned to go to the original location in Banawa but we found out they closed their first home and the one in Paseo One in Banilad remains.

So, we went to the place and thought at first that it was closed. Well who wouldn't when this greets you?



Thankfully, a waitress came out and confirmed they were indeed operating this very hour. We later found out that there were customers already but preferred to dine inside the air-conditioned room, which we also did.

Little Saigon Big Bangkok has this "Fresh Asian Street Food" tagline which kind of raised my expectations considering that I've been to Bangkok and experienced their food culture too.



We ordered and filled those "waiting" moments with stories, bullying and laughter. We were so hungry when the dishes were served.

First up is Tom Yang, a popular Thai soup. I love how hot and spicy it was. 

Then, Goi Con, a fresh Vietnamese spring rolls and Cha Gio, the fried version. Not that enticing for me. 



We also had Thai barbecue termed "Satay". It's different from a pinoy barbecue since it's not covered with the usual orangey sauce and tastes kinda different too. See this.


Then we tried the 2 fried rice dishes they have (no pictures) - Smoked Pork and Seafoods I enjoyed the former though the latter is not bad really. There was this Thai Fried Chicken as well and my favorite, the Thai Chicken in Mango Salsa.



We never really thought that mangoes blend with onions. So, we kinda enjoyed eating this dish.

All in all, we were so full. We enjoyed every dish as well as each other's company. 



I think the ambiance would be much better at night. I would love to come back and experience it.


Here's a glimpse of their menu:


You can also choose dishes from their daily board too.
