The reward for locating this hole-in-the-wall is a delicious plate of gŏo·ay đĕe·o kôo·a gài (flat rice noodles fried with garlic oil, chicken and egg). No English menu, no English signage. To find it, proceed north from the corner of Th Suapa and Th Luang, then turn right into the first side street; it's at the end of the alleyway.
