Food

Baan Khanitha is a good entry-level restaurant for Thai food novices: spicing is moderate, but not entirely absent. The sweetness quotient occasionally rises above the norm, which works for some dishes but not all; a dish of black pepper softshell crabs gets a lovely, sticky caramel tinge, but the citrussy sharpness one might expect from yum som-o is rather muted. Green chicken curry is excellent, the tender meat and crisp vegetables retaining their texture and identity. Tod mun kung (prawn cakes) scores highly on texture, but impresses less on flavour. Stir-fried kale with chilli is a nice, crunchy accompaniment. Fried bananas or mango with sticky rice make for a satisfying close. 69
