On a corner side street, just barely a stones throw from the bustling Asoke intersection, is an Uncle who has been making Thai basil stir fry (ผัดกะเพรา pad kaprao) for over 47 years.

Now that’s experience.

It’s in a spot where you can easily walk past, just down the road from the infamous Soi Cowboy, and surrounding by luxurious international restaurants.

He makes a variety of different quick stir fry dishes, but among his specialties is Thai basil stir fry with your choice of either pork or chicken, and either minced meat or sliced meat.

Uncle cooks with such expertise, he’s the type of experienced cook that could make Thai food with his eyes closed.

You know from the beginning it’s going to be tasty, just from watching him work the wok and handle the ingredients.

It’s nothing fancy, just a corner building, a few tables and stools, both inside and outside, with a concrete finish.

The menu is written in Thai – he does offer a few other single plate dishes like Thai fried rice and radna.
