Pe Aor Tom Yum Kung Noodle
About
Pe Aor Tom Yum Kung Noodle is a shophouse noodle shop on Phetchaburi Soi 5 that does one thing above all: noodles in a hot and sour tom yum broth with prawns. The shop's own tagline calls its tom yum made with shrimp fat legendary, and the owner, Pe Aor, speaks for the shop herself on its Facebook page, which has more than 280,000 followers.
It suits travelers who plan meals around a single famous dish and are happy to wait for it, and it is a natural lunch stop for anyone staying in Ratchathewi, just north of the Siam shopping district. Come hungry and with time in hand, since the shop regularly runs a queue.
The bowl
Tom yum kung is the hot and sour soup that Thailand is known for, flavored with lemongrass, lime and chili and built around prawns. Here it becomes a noodle dish, and the shop leans on its shrimp-fat broth as the signature. Bowls range from a simple prawn noodle to bigger seafood versions, so it is worth looking at what the next table ordered before you choose.
Plan for the queue
Pe Aor has posted about handing out queue cards in the middle of the afternoon, when many other shops are quiet, and about the shop staying busy on rainy evenings and weekend afternoons. The shop also offers pickup, which helps if you only want to take a bowl back to your hotel.
Finding it
The shop is in Ratchathewi, on Soi 5 off Phetchaburi Road, and the owner herself notes that the soi is very small. It is easiest to arrive by taxi or ride-hailing app with the address in Thai, or on foot from Phetchaburi Road. Look for the green awning and the menu boards outside.
