Good Morning Hat Sichon: Boats and Noodles
June 27th, 2009
Khanom Jiin Nam Prik Wan
Hat Sichon, Thailand – Early in the morning, I tried to find the Sichon market, but it looked like it was closed on Sundays or I had a miscommunication with my motorbike driver. In any event, I started looking for breakfast on my 3 km walk back to Hat Sichon. I passed over roadside khao tom (rice soup) stands and opted for khanom jiin (fermented rice noodles) instead. Khanom jiin is widely available in the south, seemingly with a greater array of sauces than found elsewhere in Thailand. I got a bowl of khanom jiin nam prik wan, which looked and almost tasted like a bowl of spaghetti and tomato sauce. The chile-based sauce was sweet and punctuated with beans, a soft and easy way to open the day if you don’t mind a little spice. Onto the shipyards before moving onto Songkhla.
