What the creator captured
Mark Wiens explored the historic streets of Bangkok's Chinatown to showcase five iconic dishes, starting his morning with a century-old recipe for Kuay jab. He was particularly impressed by the rich, soothing pork broth and the expertly cooked offal that melted in his mouth. Despite the 6 a.m. humidity and heat, he found the experience of sweating through a bowl of peppery noodles to be the sign of a perfect day.
