The World of Street Food

Tum Kor Moo Tod Mama by Somtum Der, Bangkok, Thailand Somtum Der is a Michelin award-winning Issan (northeastern Thai) restaurant that first earned its star in 2016. The original branch is located in Bangkok's Sala Daeng neighborhood with a second branch at Tha Tian in the city's old town, which is where I tried it for the first time. Somtum Der now has branches in Tokyo, Taipei, and even New York City . With such great success and global popularity, I knew that the food had to be good, so one afternoon after a nice walk in old town, I stopped in for lunch. deep fried pork neck served with spicy papaya salad and instant noodles
