Sukhumvit Shark Fin, Bangkok

Sukhumvit Soi 55

A friend had chanced upon this hole-in-the-wall years ago and ever since, its become a “must eat” on our trips to Bangkok. The sharks’ fin here is served bubbling hot, in individual claypots, with a side dish of bean sprouts and coriander that you can throw into the soup. We noticed that the standards have been sliding and the amount of sharks’ fin in the soup getting less with each visit. Nevertheless its still tasty.
