Khanom Krok

Pad Thai was legit. The egg and nuts in this dish were really tasty.
Their coconut pancake is a must!!! Not overly sweet and had a very addictive coconut flavour to it.

The pad Thai is great but I’m not sold on the coconut pancakes. Yes, they’re good but after the first one it sorta taste like lotion.
There are two lines; one for pad Thai and the other for coconut pancakes and I definitely wouldn’t wait on the pancake one again. Just not worth it.

This little food stand sits among a sea of food stands serving quail eggs and coconut pancakes on one side and Pad Thai on the other. As the other Unilocal have vehemently advocated, the coconut pancakes are nothing like what i have ever tried. I like coconut flavoured desserts and i love coconut juice and milk, but to heat it up into a little piece of custard is the best idea ever. I loved that dessert to pieces and felt guilty for wolfing down four after trying the first one. I begged my boyfriend and my friend to eat the remaining three because i felt so guilty! Eight for 2.25 is not bad at all. If this place served the coconut pancakes alone, i’d give it five stars, but the issue is that that the line up is mostly for the pad thai and i can’t say i’m fan. I could hardly stomach it.
They offer three types of pad thai cooked on the spot, chicken pad thai, prawn pad thai, and chicken and prawn pad thai — the last being the most expensive of the three for 8.50. To start, the fish sauce smell is a bit overwhelming just standing in line and my boyfriend ran off to the other side of the market as i waited for the food. Once I got it, i was thoroughly disappointed. The chicken was super dry, there were maybe three pieces of prawn, but the worst part was that the flavour of the pad thai tasted like they spilled a jar of sugar into the wok. The rice noodle was chewy in a good way and soaked up the flavour as it should, but it’s unfortunate that the flavour is not right.
It’s five star for the coconut pancake, which is more like creamy bite-​size custards with a smoky nutty flavour, and two star for the pad thai, so i think three stars is fair. Get your main elsewhere in the market, but make sure you get the coconut pancakes!

Am I jumping on the bandwagon from Minnie M and Yinnie C’s review? Yes I am. Also the wonderful Yinnie showed me these stall after raving about it over coffee earlier.
Now Yinnie is a bit crazy with food, but she is SPOT ON with this little market stall of heaven! 10 for £3.50 (and they popped an extra 2 on for us… I like to think it’s because they saw our smiling faces, but it could also be that they saw our looks of pure poverty and pitied us. I don’t care, we got 2 extra!), these little bites of pancake are SO MOREISH. I actually want another one now. I might walk back.
This review to be continued when I’ve had 10 more in an hour: D

After Yinnie C’s review, I promptly visited the stall myself. 8 for £2.5? I might have ordered 16. And I might have eaten them all in one go. The sweet ladies manning the stall are adorable and smiley. Note that they are there Monday-​Wednesday.
The little pancakes are bite sized and contain various toppings in a coconut gelatin. TOO EASY TO EAT, my greedy eyes told my bulging stomach. They also sell mango with sticky rice, and baked quail eggs if you’re fancy pants.

OMYGOD. Thai street food. I LOVE thai street food, at least from what I’ve tried from Khanom Krok in Borough Market. It’s a rather new stall, I popped along one Wednesday afternoon before going to Brighton, because I had half hour to kill and I like to eat.
So it’s a bit hidden in the green market area, but by god, it smells and looks amazing. They were selling these cute little tiny pancakes and I like cute tiny foods. they make me smile and feel like a giant because I’m only 4ft11 and I need some comfort about my height. So initially, I wanted to buy a half portion but I wasn’t allowed and I can see why, about a minute later, all 8 mini pancakes were gone, devoured, and savoured. They’re like filled with heavenly coconut milk and it was light, creamy and JUST.SO.GOOD.
I want another portion of 8 now. I know coconut milk is bad for me, but SO GOOD.

(I think I also salivated on the train back from brighton, Sinja and Alex had to snap me out of it…)
