"Moo ping is the restaurant's signature skewer, marinated and seared pork collar from local producer Lan-Roc Farms. Thirakomen says that's the move for an after-school snack in Thailand. The award for "you won't find this anywhere else" undoubtedly goes to the larb mac salad. Light and creamy but also deeply seasoned and fairly spicy, it's a side dish with the personality of a main."
"The best way to approach small plate places like this is to make a night of it: Order a couple of beers, some skewers, and graze for a while. Most of the skewers arrive with a dipping sauce and not much else, but the gai satay comes with both the aforementioned satay toast and a tangy cucumber relish that could double as a salad in a pinch."
The Pantorium Building on SE Belmont and SE 33rd was once a laundromat for drapes and now houses Bangkok Belly, owned by Kat Thirakomen and David Fiske. The menu blends Thai street-food classics with American innovation and offers a range of vegetarian and vegan options. Moo ping, marinated and seared pork collar from Lan-Roc Farms, is the signature skewer. The larb mac salad is light, creamy, deeply seasoned and fairly spicy, with the presence of a main. Satay toast are toasted milk bread strips served with decadent satay peanut sauce. Small plates are best shared with beers; gai satay includes satay toast and a tangy cucumber relish, and pairing it with the mac salad creates a flavorful combo for under $15.
