My friends and I have been here and we had the peanuts, the pork belly and the chicken too. I liked the pork belly (I always like pork belly ), but I wasn’t so thrilled by the peanuts, though.
When we went, we made it just before the long line started to form. It’s a pretty hip place. I like your ensemble description, very accurate.

All the dish look very delicious but the one that’s kind of intriguing to me is the Siamese peanuts with shrimp paste. I like shrimp paste and of course I like peanuts but the combination is very interesting. Thank you for sharing this post Carolyn! I Hope you’re enjoying your week.

You NEED to try the kao mun gai (poached chicken over rice.) I’d second the recommendation on the Isaan sausage. The pork belly was OK.

Overall, I like Hawker Fare much more than Commis (which I thought was over-rated when I went for dinner in April.)

I’m with you all the way, Carolyn. I’ve been twice and can’t wait for #3.
