Baan Mai Rim Nam, Delicious Ayutthaya, another popular spot among the residents of the old capital. With a view of the Chao Phraya River, the main river that surrounds the Ayutthaya island city. They definitely have river prawns here, but "Sookjai Weekend" didn't get to taste them because I came alone. As for river prawns, they are 1,200 Baht per kilogram, while farmed prawns are 900 Baht per kilogram. I'll ask to order something else first, haha.
The reason I have to write about the dishes I didn't taste is because I want to whisper a secret: their river prawns are very famous. Just in case any of you come in a group, you can order them to share, "American share" style.
Just order it: Shrimp Fried Rice. The small portion is only 50 Baht. It's hotel-grade fried rice; the aroma is wonderful, and it's packed with shrimp. Even at 50 Baht per plate, they serve it.
As for the Mixed Seafood Salad (Yum Ruam Mit), this shop is unique because it includes fish, mussels, crab, and squid. It stands out with a savory and sour dressing, not sweet at all, and doesn't use pickled garlic—or if it does, it's very little.
Another big menu item: Snakehead Fish in Sour Soup (Pae Sa Pla Chon). It's 250 Baht per pot. The fish is very large—so much so that I couldn't finish it. The sour soup is spicy and zesty, with tamarind that hits the back of the tongue. It's a scream for those who love sour flavors! The snakehead fish meat is soft, white, and truly delicious. The skin is fried crispy and is very crunchy. It turned out I could only eat half the fish—I was perfectly full.
Highly recommended as another spot for large meals in our Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. This place is popular with both locals and tourists. It gets crowded in the evenings. The restaurant also offers boat trips to see various riverside temples, with food served on the boat as well.
