    Zong Peep

    This place is a bit of a hidden gem for khao soi, open late too which is a bonus if you’re craving a midnight snack. I got the beef version with the original noodles and it hit the spot—meat was tender enough to fall apart, though the broth wasn’t super rich compared to what I’ve had up north. If you’re vegetarian, they do an off-menu tofu option which is pretty cool. Oh, and don’t skip the sticky mango rice for dessert, it’s worth it. Just make sure to grab a seat under the fan or it gets warm in there pretty quick. Overall solid comfort food without any fuss.

    Visited Kampang on a weekday evening around 5pm, and while there were some tables available, it's clear this place is popular, so reservations are recommended. The grilled chicken was tasty but a bit tricky to eat as the meat stuck to the bone. The meat dishes, though flavorful, were a tad chewy. The vanilla jasmine lemon tea wasn't to my liking. Prices are on the higher side, and the staff seemed a bit slow in responding to customers.
