Zaap! (inside Duangrat's Oriental Food Mart)


Recommended Posts

A spicy sesame chili oil noodle recipe in the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2022/04/10/sesame-chile-oil-noodles-recipe/) inspired me to go to Duangrat's Oriental Food Mart in search of a few ingredients. Afterwards, I ate at Zaap!, their Thai street food mart inside.

Zaap! appears to share the same kitchen as Rabieng Thai Restaurant, but has its own menu: https://gallery.mailchimp.com/71d3d16db2dd18ff85ff097e2/files/d1cf78b4-d0df-438a-a55c-c8da66d07821/zaap_2020.pdf

I ordered the Moo Krob Kaprow (crispy pork belly) but they were out. :( So I went with the Gai Kaprow + Kai Dao (ground chicken basil and fried egg w/ jasmine rice) pictured below. Despite the two chili peppers next to the name, the spice was more warming than full-on sweaty but it was very good. I didn't intend to eat it all, but did. The server took one look at my empty bowl and said it would make the chef's day. If that's all that's required, I could make the chef's day any day.

FYI -- the homemade spicy sesame chili oil noodles for dinner were good too.
