2 Siam Pandan (ขนมครกใบเตย)
Straight across from the Chulalongkorn University Building, this semi alfresco store entices passers-by with the scent of freshly cooked khanom krok (ขนมครก; traditional Thai pancakes). The full array includes meaty khanom kroks, small pancakes, pancake rolls with your choice of savoury or sweet fillings, and also pang jii (แป้งจี่; Thai style flapjacks). Treat your sense of smell to the warm fragrance of the batter melding with the flavourings to take on its solid-cooked form, and revel in the sizzle of butter greasing the hot cast-iron moulds. Outside of the afternoon, no matter the time of day you are visiting, rest assured that you will get to sink your teeth into a piping hot batch, as the cakelettes are made on-the-spot daily and non-stop.
