Bangkok’s street stalls kick ass. The only problem is deciding which one to patronize. Every month Bangkokrecorder will traipse around town to find the most stand-out street food in the city… This time: Mr. Moo Ping.

Dining out in fancy schmancy venues is all well and good, but sometimes you just need a little street food to keep you grounded in reality. Late night street stalls are perfect for drunken revelers physically and emotionally spent after a toxic night about town. It’s been scientifically proven that eating something after drinking and before crashing will help relieve hangovers. Or was it drinking water before sleeping that helps the morning after? Anyway, eating late at night when you’re drunk always seems like a great idea at the time. So dig in, boozers!
It’s clear this country has an unhealthy fixation with pork in all its glorious varieties: moo satay, moo yong and moo ping (pork stick or kebab).

The most famous moo ping vendor, serving arguably the best drunk food in Bangkok, is P’Ouan, who operates a food stall on the corner of Silom Road and soi Convent. P’Ouan, which roughly translates into English as “fatso,” has been frying up swine at the same location for 17 years. And business appears to be booming. According to P‘Ouan, his little venture churns out 1,000 moo ping a night. At 5 baht a pop, you do the math. That’s roughly 35 kilos of hog meat a day. It’s a vegetarian’s nightmare but great news for the rest of us carnivorous drunks.

You can catch Fatso from 10.30pm to 3am every night on the corner of Silom and Convent roads.
