Thai Tidbit

Leng or Spicy Pork Bones are a relatively new menu that is quickly gaining popularity across Thailand. Notorious for its spiciness, it is definitely not for the faint of heart! Though this menu can be found in many stalls and restaurants, the key is in the fragrant soup and the melt-in-your-mouth meat that is just barely clinging to the pork bones. Enjoy with rice and a cold drink, and be prepared to sweat! 

If you’re looking for super-hot and spicy, don’t miss the “Super Spicy Kod Leng Black Soup” at “Kod Leng” (pork bones in spicy soup) in Neon Market on Petchburi Road between Petchburi Soi 23 and 29.

The trick to the recipe of “Kod Leng” is in their “Black Soup” that is ordered by every table in the shop. The special black soup recipe yields a tasty broth with an abundance of spices with jumbo pork bones… with a mountain of chili! Taste the soup and you feel all the sensations at once, the heat, the spices, and the pork bones for you to scoop out the meat. The giant pork bones itself deserve a score of 10 out of 10.  

Apart from the Spicy Leng, the menu includes spicy omelet, salty chicken wings, fried pork, stir-fried morning glory, Kod Leng Tom Yum, Kod Leng Prawns with Vermicelli and other beverages to relieve the heat such as honey lemon and Ceylon iced tea.

Large chunks of pork bones are packed into the pot. 

You can choose from three levels of spiciness, from Spicy, Very Spicy, to Super Spicy. Try at your own risk.

The pork bones here are huge with more meat than other Leng shops, so we give them a score of 10/10.

A lot of pork bones.

Juicy meat.

Try it with hot steaming rice, it’s delicious…
