The World of Street Food

Viet-Thai Fusion Cuisine by Long Doux, Bangkok, Thailand Although Thailand and Vietnam are geographically close, their cuisines are quite distinct, with minimal overlap. Thai cuisine shares many similarities with Laotian food, while Cambodian cuisine has notable connections to Vietnamese food. However, Thailand and Vietnam are each celebrated for their unique culinary traditions. There are some places in Thailand, though, that serve a sort of Viet-Thai fusion. The northeastern city of Udon Thani in particular is known for its vibrant Vietnamese-Thai community and their delicious fusion cuisine. This week I visited a popular restaurant in Bangkok's busy Chatuchak neighborhood called Long Doux. The restaurant serves up some of the city's best traditional Vietnamese fare with a bit of a Thai twist. grilled pork with rice noodles, spicy dressing, and crushed peanuts
