My wife Ying is originally from Krabi, and one of the restaurants she ate at frequently when she was a kid going to school is Khanom Jeen Badom (ขนมจีนป้าต้อม), a long standing restaurant serving a variety of different curries with soft rice noodles known in Thai as khanom jeen (ขนมจีน).

In Krabi, khanom jeen (ขนมจีน) is typically eaten for breakfast or early lunch, and so we headed to the restaurant in the morning for breakfast. The restaurant was busy and hectic as always, and luckily we found some seats at a shared table and ordered.

Here’s what we had:

Khanom jeen nam ya kati (ขนมจีนน้ำยากะทิ) - This is one of the main types of curry noodles, made with coconut milk and deboned pureed fish, and curry paste. The noodles also came with an egg on the side. It was overall quite good, but not too spicy. I enjoyed eating it with some extra deep fried crispy chilies on top!

Khanom jeen gaeng tai pla (ขนมจีนแกงไตปลา) - One of my personal favorites types of southern Thai curry is khanom jeen gaeng tai pla (ขนมจีนแกงไตปลา), a type of curry made with fermented fish viscera. It doesn’t sound too appealing, but I really love it - the pungent salty flavor. This version wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was still pretty good.

Gai tod (ไก่ทอด ชิ้นละ) - Khanom Jeen Badom (ขนมจีนป้าต้อม) is not only known for their Thai curry noodles, but also for their fried chicken, and the combination of curry noodles and fried chicken goes so well together.

Hor mok (ห่อหมก) - Finally, sitting on our table and begging to be eating were little banana leaf packets of hor mok (ห่อหมก), steamed seafood custard. It was pretty good, again, not the best I’ve ever had, but pretty decent.

Khanom Jeen Badom (ขนมจีนป้าต้อม) is a good restaurant in Krabi. The food is overall a little mild, but still good and pretty budget, and it’s a good local Krabi atmosphere.
