I went back to Kruang Tedd randomly last night with a late night khao soi craving. They are your only options oddly enough.
While I really wish they would put a whole drumstick in there or something, and the dish feels sort of skimpy on the chicken in general, the broth remains as addictive as ever. The instant noodles are still chewy and fun to eat as well. Actually might be one of the most enjoyable bowls of late night noodles you can get in LA.
I got some Isaan spareribs as well. Not sure what to think about them. They seemed to be unusually high-quality pork for Thai town standards (also cost like $12, when most places would probably charge closer to $7-8). The array of vegetables with them also seemed quite fresh, the cabbage was notably fresh and peppery where I sometimes feel like it is not thought about or maintained well for these types of plates. However, I didn’t get as much of a funk from them as from the fermented spareribs at Palin, so I don’t know if I would really order it again. It wasn’t terrible with some sake, but there must be better dishes.
I got the khao mok gai as well, but somehow forgot to take a picture it seems… damn… I forgot that I didn’t get photos the last time I went to KT, and now I am sad. It was still really good, although there seemed to be less crispy onions. Still, it is a grand dish of perfectly cooked chicken, and fragrant rice in a MASSIVE portion. Why can’t they get those perfect drumsticks in the khao soi?? =( Next time I need to ask them to do that…
