Sweet Boiled Mackerel
Sweet Boiled Mackerel (Pla Too Tom Wan or Tom Khem) is a signature dish at Khlong Lat Mayom, and Pan Sap is one of its most renowned purveyors. The magic lies in the use of large, fresh mackerel simmered in coconut sugar and a medley of spices until the bones soften to the point of being entirely edible. The flavor profile is a harmonious blend of sweet and savory notes. Typically sold in packs (ranging from 100-180 THB depending on size and quantity), it's a perfect accompaniment to hot steamed rice or a delightful souvenir. Look out for the shop's large simmering pots, releasing an enticing aroma, alongside their equally tempting Boiled Javanese Barb (Pla Tapian).
