Pa Te Shop, Ladprao, offers a variety of delicious dishes that have been open for over 10 years. The shop is located at Lat Phrao Intersection, next to MRT Phahon Yothin Station. You can walk to the shop from the train station without crossing the road because it is on the same side.
Sitting in the restaurant, listen to the music from the 60s through old but antique speakers, matching the retro style of the restaurant. The first dish is served without ordering, a peanut salad to eat as an appetizer, served free while waiting for food. Mix salt, fresh chili, and spring onions with peanuts, picking and chewing one or two at a time with pleasure. The food comes quickly if you go during less busy times.
On a relaxing holiday like this, start with salted fried bacon. The restaurant fries it a little crispy, guaranteed to be delicious and fragrant, with just the right amount of saltiness to cut the fat of the bacon skin. The portion is quite large compared to the price. The dipping sauce is slightly sour with vinegar, leaning towards German pork knuckle dipping sauce. Pouring or dipping to relieve the greasiness of the pork is also delicious in its own way.
The second menu item is Pa Te vegetable salad. I didn't switch to the vegetarian side, not inclined to eat vegetables and vegetarian food, because what I ordered was fresh shrimp salad (but it's boiled shrimp, not raw shrimp like shrimp in fish sauce) because sometimes I want to eat vegetables. The taste of the salad dressing is really good, sweet and delicious, so I want to ask for more salad dressing. The vegetables are fresh and crunchy. Two menus are enough to fill you up.
For the third dish, Hong Kong-style beef shank, Jaew dipping sauce with Hong Kong dipping sauce, served in the same set with Cantonese and boiled cabbage. This dish is very tender and delicious, fragrant with spices, crumbly. The Jaew dipping sauce is excellent, sour, salty, and well-rounded. The Hong Kong dipping sauce is sweet, matching the bursting fat of the meat, similar to sukiyaki dipping sauce, but with a specific Pa Te flavor. When scooping up a large piece of fatty meat, it's tender, crumbly, fragrant, and delicious.
Finally, free tea is provided without ordering, but served in a thick chicken-stamped ceramic teacup in the style of Lampang. The bill comes with a 10% service charge, adding value to the deliciousness.
For a satisfying holiday like this, always think of "Sookjai Holiday".
