Bang Bo Bird Curry Recipe: A hometown flavor you must try

When talking about local dishes with unique characteristics that tell the story of the lifestyle of Bang Bo people in Samut Prakan province, many might think of the famous salted fish known nationwide. But for me, mr.hotsia, another dish that cannot be overlooked isBang Bo Bird Curry Recipewhich has been passed down from families and the community along the Samrong Canal.

The bird curry in my style is not an ordinary bird curry easily found in common restaurants. It is a curry made with bird meat and bones carefully prepared, with a rich and balanced flavor from freshly ground curry paste, enhanced with Thai spices and herbs such as kaffir lime peel, kaffir lime leaves, and bird's eye chili. All combined to give an aroma that truly reflects the lifestyle and culture of the Bang Bo villagers.

Taste the bird curry from my hometown

I, mr.hotsia, grew up by Ban Rakas Canal, a tributary of Samrong Canal in Bang Bo district, a water source that not only nurtures the famous salted fish but also provides fresh food that locals have lived closely with for generations. My childhood memories are filled with images of floating markets, rowing boats to buy fresh ingredients, and tasting fresh local dishes from the water, just like this bird curry recipe my parents have made since I was a child.

The Bang Bo bird curry uses bird meat and bones that are thoroughly cleaned and prepared, then simmered with a spicy curry paste ground by hand, making the bird meat tender and deeply infused with the spices' flavors. When I eat this curry, I feel like I'm transported back to the 150-year-old Bang Phli Old Market nearby my home.Bang Phli Old Marketwhich still preserves the atmosphere of the old floating market with antique wooden shops and the lifestyle of villagers closely connected to the canal.
