Farida Fatornee - Halal restaurant in Bangkok

Click on map to enlarge.

Farida Fatornee Restaurant is located on Phetchaburi Road, between Soi 7 and Phayathai Road. It takes about five minutes to walk from Rachathewi BTS Station (Exit 3) and also not very far from Masjid Darul Aman ( Phetchaburi Soi 7).



If you go shopping at Pratunam, take a cab or tuk-tuk from Platinum Mall or Panthip Plaza. Taking either the cab or tuk-tuk will cost you not more than THB 50 to get here as it's about 1km only from Pratunam.

Khun Faridah, the owner, hails from Southern Thai and speaks Malay. Her other half cooks very delicious Southern Thai delicacies. You shouldn't miss his deep fried ox tongue (lin thot) and deep fried mutton (pe' thot). Both are finger licking good!!! Try the ox tail soup (sup hang wua), too. If you cant take spicy food like me, don't forget to say 'phet nit noy' ( a little spicy) or simply say 'mai sai prik' means no chilies at all. Their degree of 'mai phet' (not spicy) could still be very spicy to some of us, he,he,he.

I feel very much at home here though it's much smaller compared to the ones back home in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. The 'Pasar Ramadhan' operates from 3 till 6+pm. Once the Azan Maghrib is on air, all the vendors disperse and leave for home. To get here, take the BTS towards Mo Chit station and alight at Ratchathewi station(N1). Soi 7 is about 300metres away from the station.
