Charoen Saeng Silom – Bangkok’s Best Braised Pork Knuckle

Address: 492/6 Soi Charoen Krung 49
How to get there: Take the sky train to BTS Saphan Taksin Station, and walk from there (an 8 min walk).
Opening hours: 07:30 – 13:30



Charoen Saeng Silom has been serving their famous and delicious braised pork (Khao Kha Moo) in Bangkok since 1959, and they sure know how to cook the perfect braised pork knuckle! It is served with steamed rice and tasty, rich soy and vinegar-based sauce with many Chinese spices and herbs that go hand in hand with the tender and soft pork meat. The meat is so soft that it melts in the mouth.

In December 2017, they were even mentioned in the Michelin Guide for 2018!

This is not a fancy place. It is basic and about as authentic as you can get when it comes to a Bangkok street food restaurant. Everyone from school girls to posh business people in suits driving fancy cars eats here.

You can choose to sit outside at a table on the street or inside (no aircon). The place is super popular, but the queue is elegantly handled by the old cheerful guy that owns the place, so there is not much waiting. Due to its popularity, you might have to share a table with other people, but hey, that is a great opportunity to chat with some Thais and get some more local tips about places to eat and things to see.
