Nong Jeng Breadmakers in Hua Hin

[buksida]

Thailand's cuisine boasts hundreds of delicious dishes, but most lose much of their appeal if there is no rice to go along with them. Similarly, most Western meals fall short of perfection if there is no bread on the table.

Most people tend to think of bread as something that is very ordinary, and their preference depends on personal taste. But anyone who has once tasted bread made by a master of the art will not willingly switch to the run of the mill variety.

Foreigners can be found year-round in Hua Hin, some as tourists and others as residents. There are as many restaurants that serve food from Western countries as there are Thai places. Some have become so famous internationally that foreign tourists arrive determined to visit them for a meal, and feel that if they don't dine there, they haven't really been to Hua Hin.

There is a small house in Soi Chomsin 15 (originally Soi Ang Nam 7/1), a narrow alley in a plain residential area some distance from the middle of town. There are no special decorations on the one-storey house, and although passers-by will notice the delectable smell of baking bread, there is nothing to identify it as a bakery.

But it is the home of Nong Jeng's Bread, where several kinds of bread are made, including French baguettes, white bread, hamburger rolls and round loaves to be eaten with soup. Its customers are almost exclusively foreign residents who live in Hua Hin, as well as restaurants and hotels. There are practically no walk-in customers.

Thought: Never knew this place existed, always get my bread from the Baguette.

Where would that be on the map? Is that on Chomsin west after crossing the railroad tracks near where Bamboo Grove used to have the bar?

Yep, Ang Nam 7 is the last one on the left, past BG on the other side: http://maphuahin.com/
