attractions around Sao Ching Cha Published caption : Choices of food are plentiful in the old community of Sam Phraeng. One of the famous shops is Khanom Buang Phraeng Nara whose owner, Somsri Hiranwathit, has learned how to make this khanom buang (crispy crepe) from her mother-in-law, who worked in the royal kitchen of Prince Narathip during the reign of King Rama V. The shop has been open for 80 years, and she belongs to the second generation. Her khanom buang has two choices of filling. One is sweet, with dried fruits and foi thong (sweet golden treads made of egg yolks), while the other is salty, with chopped shrimp, grated coconut flesh and chopped coriander leaves. A short walk from the dessert shop on Phraeng Nara Road is a grilled-pork-ball stall famous for its good-looking vendor. On Phraeng Phuthon Road, there is the coconut ice cream of a Nattaporn shop that’s been open 70 years. Picking a main course in Sam Phraeng is tough because of the mouthwatering selection. Among the choices are Udom Phochana, which for more than 70 years has been selling crispy pork and rice with beef curry; Bami Phraeng Phuthon, which has offered an eggnoodle dish for 60 years; and the Nai Mak fish-noodle shop, which has been open for 50 years.
