The street side restaurant perched on the side of the bustling Rachtawithi Road near Bangkok’s Victory Monument is abuzz with enthusiastic eaters during lunch time hours.

It’s a tough task to walk past without devouring a quick bowl when the broth hits your nose and  bathes you in a beefy aromatherapy.

Rice noodles are delicately prepared in a long handled basket before being lowered into the boiling broth for a few seconds of cooking and then piled into a bowl.

Some pork skin and oil, a toss of green onions and parsley, a few signature pork balls, and a handful of ultra tender beef is spread onto the steaming noodles.

A ladle of broth laced with exciting flavors of beef, coriander, onions, and ginger, forces the pork balls and all other buoyant materials to float to the top of the bowl, mixing all flavors perfectly.

A personal scoop of chili, a squirt of fish sauce, and a sprinkle of vinegar, and the Thai style beef noodles are ready to please me again for a great lunch.
