Sor Rungroj

Few visitors to Bangkok make it over to the Nang Loeng market area, but its a local foodie paradise, with some of the best value cheap eats in town. There are a slew of famous single dish vendors inside the old covered market, but Sor Rungroj is an actual sit-down shop, complete with air con. They've been in business since the 1960s, when they started out as a duck noodle street stall, but have since upgraded a bit. The roast pork is good here, but most diners come for the boiled duck with Chinese herbs, or else braised duck served with egg noodles. At around $1.50 a bowl, the price and tender stewed meat may have you ordering a second serving.
