Khanom Chin Hai Lam, or Thai-Hainan Pork Noodles
at Chao Mae Thapthim Shrine, Bangkok
A 200 year-old Chinese Shrine isn't necessarily the first place that you think of when you are in the mood for a hearty bowl of noodles, and yet a tiny shop at one of Bangkok's hidden gems serves a rich and filling bowl of "khanom chin hai lan" that makes the journey to the historic Dusit neighborhood more than worth it.
There is a small noodle shop called "Jae Nid" in the courtyard in front of the Chao Mae Thapthim Shrine along the river in Bangkok's Dusit neighborhood. The little local stall is famous in the neighborhood for its delicious "khanom chin hai lan", or Thai-Chinese Hainan noodles.

The noodles are "khanom chin", a type of thick and hearty rice noodle. The noodles are topped with a small amount of a very thick gravy and mixed with lots of black pepper and pickled bamboo shoots.
The noodles are topped in roasted peanuts, green onions, and sesame seeds, which give it a savory crunch. In my opinion, the peanuts themselves are what make the noodles so unique and unlike any I've had before.

Travel Tips
We visited the Chaomae Tubtim Shrine, where the local noodle shop is located, on a half-day tour of Bangkok's Old Town via electric scooter. It was a ton of fun! Even if you live in Bangkok, traveling around by e-scooter is a super fun way to see parts of the city that you might not have known about before.
