FOOD:

For a non-spicy appetiser, start with tod mun kung (deep-fried shrimp cake) which is crispy on the outside but soft and warm within. Po teun is a speciality, a platter of succulent shrimps, squid and fish served in coconut milk soup seasoned with chilli paste. It tastes similar to panaeng, albeit with a sweeter flavour. Tom kha kai is a rich concoction of coconut soup with galangal, mushroom and chunky chicken fillet. Desserts include classic Thai selections subject to creative interpretations such as mango cheesecake topped with mango puree and served with mango slices.

SETTINGS:

Based around a Rama VI-period house, the spacious outdoor dining area includes a bar, while inside, dark wood panels create a warm ambience. Well-trained staff is polite, smart and keen to serve foreign guests, who make up a high proportion of the clientele at the Bangkok manifestation of this international brand.
