The 17 Essential Restaurants in Udon Thani, Thailand
"Khao Piak Sen has a couple of branches specializing in its eponymous Vietnamese Laotian rice noodle soup, which is reminiscent of Japanese udon, but the most famous (and most popular) location is the original shophouse-turned-restaurant. You’ll find every possible iteration of khao piek. The standard version is a deeply comforting jumble of starchy noodles topped with Vietnamese-style steamed pork and deep-fried shallots, but for something a bit more fun, try the khao piak sen gang, made with glass noodles topped with steamed pork, deep-fried garlic, and a generous cube of duck blood. Don’t miss the Vietnamese coffee, served with the requisite condensed milk." - Chawadee Nualkhair
