The largest grilled squid stall in Bangkok's Chinatown and the most lined up. The visual impact is quite strong. The squid that is almost half a person's height is piled up by the grill. The squid is divided into 7 parts and sold separately, and the price is also from 20 to

For 100 baht, the squids are stacked with ice, so there are no flies flying around.

Smelling the charcoal grilled by the charcoal fire, I waited for about two or three words. After roasting, it will be cut into small pieces, served with the unique red and green chili sauce in Thailand, and mixed with coriander in a bowl. The squid meat looks very thick, the surface is slightly burnt and the refreshing fragrance of the chili sauce is mixed, the meat is crisp and chewy, and the squid mouth is more chewy than the squid whiskers, which is a bit tedious. The most surprising thing is the crispy squid bone, similar to chicken cartilage, with some soft and glutinous in the crispy shell, but the sauce is really spicy.
