Bird's nest and shark fin soup in Chinatown, Bangkok

Before I left for my holiday trip to Bangkok, I promised my husband I'll treat him to bird's nest and shark fin soup in Bangkok. Well, we tried both but the bird's nest was a bit on the sweet side so I'm not used to the taste. The shark fin soup is so nice - words are not enough to describe the taste. It's cooked in claypot and you can see it's the better quality by the whole piece of fish fin you find in the pot. It's cooked with a variety of mushrooms and balls of crab meat. Just imagine - big chunky pieces and big glassy needles of shark fin by the mouthful entering your mouth.

I ordered the lowest quality of bird's nest at 300 baht per bowl and second grade shark fin at 500 baht. Cheap and saliva dripping goodness!!!
