At this rotisserie stall, they have spent over 50 years perfecting their signature dish of chicken (farmed or domestic) marinated in a secret peppery, herbal blend before it hits the spit. Juicy and tender, with a thin skin, the meat comes served with a sweet chilli dipping sauce.

For over 50 years, Granny Somphit has been crafting flavourful Isan cuisine daily, balancing local spices with Thai herbs.

In over 30 years serving the community, this humble spot has won local awards and built up a dedicated following. Expect a wait for their lovingly prepared dishes, which include deep-fried fish with thick noodles, and flavoursome crispy noodle stir-fry with holy basil.

This three-storey house with simple décor is family run and in its second generation.

Its sticky rice noodles are fresh and go really well with the sweet and sour sauce, fresh bean sprouts and chives. You can order the homemade curry puff for take away, with a variety of optional sides.
