Description

Begin your journey with a pickup from One Bangkok. Head to Jueng Ung Luk, a long-established satay business whose Teochew Chinese roots are reflected in its traditional recipe, adapted with Thai ingredients over time. The current third-generation owner continues the family tradition.

Continue to Jang Kim Hua Tiang for traditional Chinese-style noodles, followed by Ji Jong Hwo, a Cantonese restaurant with a long history in Bangkok and now run by its third generation.

Next, enjoy traditional Thai-style coconut ice cream at Nuttaporn, a family business associated with Bangkok's historic old town and its multi-generation food tradition.

Finally, taste mango sticky rice from K. Panich, whose family has preserved its sticky-rice recipe for almost a century, with the knowledge passed from one generation to the next.

Through these dishes, discover a bigger story: how people came to Bangkok, built their lives, adapted to a new culture, and passed their memories on through food.
