Bangkok's Street Food Market outside CentralwOrld Shopping Centre in Bangkok [Thailand]

Unlike Singapore, you can find pop up street food everywhere in
Bangkok; therefore, it doesn't quite make sense to have a street food market right outside a popular mall when most tourists would have flocked to the night markets instead. 

Problem is, not all tourists have the energy to visit the night market every day and some would take comfort that this Bangkok's Street Food Market is within the capital's major shopping belt! We just had dinner and hence, was just looking around instead of actively searching for things to stuff our tummies with. 

I would, however, sacrifice my diet if the Thai durians were indeed 60 baht each pack. According to the sticker on each plastic film; the price was a lot higher but it was to be expected as the one I paid for at Or Tor Kor market was about S$20. 

Guess these were the Thai river prawns, with their large heads. I tried this on a number of occasions and while they were meaty, the meat wasn't as sweet and as crunchy as their saltwater cousins.

From the look of it, appeared to be exclusively thai fish cake. 
Business must be brisk! 

Cashew nuts with four different flavors! Tell you a secret, I used to get the ones with sesame seeds, and sprinkle a few teaspoons into my home salad. I forgot to buy a pack home recently. :(

I have never tried corn dog before; they seemed to be high in starch and if you compare between this and moo ping, it's obvious the latter appeals to me more. Way, way more. 

Thai style fried rice and noodle; latter of which is more commonly known as pad thai.  Expensive at about 160 baht but who knows; maybe it tastes heavenly?

This stall had a queue and I had to fight the temptation to check out further! As you can see, there's a halal logo. For Muslim friends, it's actually not hard finding halal food in Bangkok

I love food on skewers as they gave the impression you are not having a lot; just one stick. There are two concerns though; whether the food is fresh (given my sensitive stomach), and the risk of it turning out to be bad tasting. 

Moo Ping is generally quite safe in taste in Bangkok; we have almost one stick every day we were in the capital city and they were all from different stalls. In Singapore, I have had pretty bad ones and the best tasting so far was from the pasar malams. 

Drinks; I would strongly recommend trying the unique orange juice from the above plastic containers. You can find them along the streets and they cost generally between 20 to 50 baht, depending on the size. 

For those with deeper pockets, mango smoothie might be preferred. For older people, plain water would still be the most beneficial for our body. Thai drinks are generally too sweet!
