STREET TREATS

Khanom tokyo is a Thai street snack of thin crispy pancakes rolled around a sweet or savoury filling. To our best knowledge, its origin has nothing to do with Japan. Some say it was adapted from dorakayi first sold in Bangkok at the now-defunct ThaiDaimaru department store.

Your average khanom tokyo vendor has maybe four or five fillings to choose from, but Racha Khanom Tokyo (fb.com/tokyo2517) has 10 (B6-B18) in total, including chicken steak, bacon-wrapped sausage and fish sticks with cheese. It was founded by Phet more than 40 years ago. There are currently eight motorised Racha Kanom Tokyo carts rolling around Bangkok.
