webfact Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Popular Hua Hin bun seller packing them in! "Yai Muay" swears by charcoal Picture: Talknewsonline Talknewsonline reported that there were large queues of people waiting for delicious steamed buns at the stall of a very popular Hua Hin grannie. The cool season was making life particularly busy for Suikim Sae-Ngow better known to locals as "Yai Muay" who is still going strong in her 81st year. She sells the buns - known as "Salapao" in Thai - at the downtown Chatchai market. She said that she was brought up in the Hua Hin area after her mother emigrated from China. She has been selling buns since she was a young woman - well over 40 years. She remembers she used to sell them for 5 baht each - now they are 20 baht. Picture: Talknewsonline They are stuffed with minced pork and her children have helped adjust the flavor to a popular modern day taste. She sells 300 - 400 a day always doing a roaring trade. And her secret of success? She shuns the use of gas reckoning that everything tastes better by using traditional charcoal.

mwbrown Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 When I read the headline, I knew it was this lady. Her sidewalk "shop" is 20 meters down from my condo. Whenever I walk in that direction I go on the other side of the street due to the terrible smoke coming off her charcoal fire. She does have a crowd most days, but I won't be partaking.
