NamSing Restaurant

Nam Sing is one of the most reputable bird nest and sharks fin restaurant in Bangkok. From what I remember, it has outlets in MBK and Yaowarat Chinatown. I tried both and I thought I found the Yaowarat branch to be better.

You can enjoy a huge bowl of sharks fin for just 300 baht and if you feel abit richer, you can always choose a better quality sharks fin for 500 baht. I am someone who cannot really tell the differences between the grade, so usually I will just order the 300 baht bowl and save the money for other dishes.

The other must try is of course the birds nest soup. Once again there are different prices for different quality, the highest grade which is brownish red in colour cost 500 baht per bowl, but you can get normal birds nest for just 100baht a bowl. I tried the 500 baht grade under advice from my friend and once again, I could not tell the difference. Maybe I am better off eating cheap food. :p

If you think that sharks fin will not constitute to a proper meal, then you can probably consider ordering their pineapple fried rice which I find very nice also. Another dish worth a try also would be their steamed scallop with garlic.
