Chew on this: Bangkok is the home of great grub
Bangkok has been declared the world’s "Foodiest City" and two of its prominent restaurants have been recognised for their signature dishes, according to the "Tastiest Fast Feasts" awards.
British culinary website Chowzter aims to uncover the best fast food served by locally owned establishments with locally sourced food.
Nominations were provided by local food experts and bloggers.
These were narrowed to 60 and tested by a team of Chowzter tasters. They cut across several categories including pizzas, vegetarian, bakery, rice and sandwiches.
Bangkok won in the "Foodiest City on Earth" category.
In Bangkok, the Phat Thai served at the Phat Thai Thip Samai restaurant won in the "Noodle" category, and the Garlic Fried Chicken at the Polo Fried Chicken restaurant was nominated in the "Tastiest Bird" category.
According to a review in the Asian Wall Street Journal: "In the Foodiest category, Bangkok bared forks with London, Lima, Singapore and Vancouver. But the city known for its vast array of food on the go and some of the freshest, flavour-packed offerings ultimately triumphed."
