good food in Chiang mai

sick of tourist polluted places in chiang mai? tired of the man coming up to you when you just standing outside the shop reading the menu? want to find reasonable priced (local priced) and clean food? menu in English available!!


this restaurant is run by a thai chinese madam. it used to be at the night bazaar, because of the high rental increase, she could either raise up the price of the food or move to a better location and stick on her price. situated at Chiangmai Land, restaurant name is HOITOD SHAWLAE. they are famous for the omelette oysters and omelette stuff.
we decided to have a proper meal, not knowing about their famous dish. we ordered the usual frying cabbage(chinese style) and the Steam Seabass in thai style, spicy and sour! fresh!! proper dinner... rice and fish! the fish in the plate was boiling. the garlic and lime with chili padi was sweating our foreheads! it was even better than the same dish in our wedding dinner, prepared by Tong Lok (famous singapore restaurant). this is how the fish looks like:

sorry guys. i thought it was just a normal restraruant but ended up... we finished everything! i seldom smear the fish head because of it's smell and sometimes slimey but for this, i dug out every piece of edible spare parts i can find in this fish and put into my mouth! this is how nice and fresh the fish is!




most important, my wife says: ALOY!!! with thumbs up!
just for 190B (less then S$8), 3 rice, 1 fish, one vege and a bottle of mineral water fills our day!!! they will not 'ketop' or treat u like Miss Carrot nor Mr Robert because they are out of the tourist area and nice owner!!

err.... how to get there?

from the pantip plaza at night bazaar, hit south towards chiangmai land area, 5mins taxi/tuktuk ride, or refer to the name card given to us attached below!
