Of all the roadside restaurants in the Rangnam area near the Pullman Bangkok King Power Mall, we chose to eat at Grandmom's Noodle which is just across the Streetfood stalls I featured earlier.
I don't know if this sign attracted us, but I ate here again later that evening and this sign attracted my friend.
As we enter the restaurant, we see the lady making the noodles.
We entered in the little foodhouse and saw many students and some tourists.

From Wikipedia:
Tom yum or tom yam (Lao: ຕົ້ມຍຳ [tôm ɲam]; Thai: ต้มยำ, [tôm jam])
is a spicy clear soup typical in Laos andThailand. Tom yum is
widely served in neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, and has been popularised
around the world.
Literally, the words "tom yum" are
derived from two Tai words: "tom" and
"yam". "Tom" refers to boiling process (soup, in this
case). "Yam" refers to a kind of Lao and Thai spicy and
sour salad. Thus, "tom yum" is a Lao and Thai hot and sour
soup. Indeed, tom yum is characterised by its distinct hot and sour flavours,
with fragrant herbs generously used in the broth. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemon grass, kaffir limeleaves, galangal, lime juice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers.

We loved the food here and I got used to the Thai spicy taste!
I think I ate here three times during our stay.
I guess it was the most presentable place in the area, too.
And, as I always say "The food always taste better with good company!"
