For this "Delicious Ayutthaya" feature, "Sookjai Weekend" takes you to taste Thai cuisine at Tik Gang Pa. This legendary restaurant has been in business for many years. They recently moved from Pom Phet to a new location on Naresuan Road, near The Avail Hotel, on the way to Wat Mahathat and Wat Ratchaburana.
Let's try the first dish: Salted Beef Fried Rice. The rice is fried until fragrant with a beautiful color, a sign of expert cooking. The salted beef is served separately, accompanied by carrots and sliced spring onions. The Jasmine rice is fried so tender it's almost effortless to eat. The salted beef pairs perfectly with jungle curry—it's truly a great match.
How about a bowl of Pork Jungle Curry (Gang Pa Moo)? The first sip is instantly satisfying. The gentle aroma of fingerroot comes through first, followed by the savory saltiness of shrimp paste. Note that the curry paste at this shop is extremely spicy; those who cannot handle heat should definitely inform them beforehand.
