ADDRESS

118 Suriwongse Rd, Bangkok 10500

SETTING

The restaurant is located in a recently-restored century-old house made of golden teak (Ruen Urai means 'house of gold') in the garden of the Rose Hotel.

FOOD

Ruen Urai offers foreigner-friendly Thai fare, although chilli levels can always be raised for the more adventurous. Start with an old reliable such as tod mun (fishcakes), tom yum goong (shrimp spicy soup), or the house speciality of stuffed chicken wings with vermicelli and mushrooms. As a main course, sea bass comes in at least eight incarnations, the best being with pungent namprik (chilli jam). Red meat connoisseurs may prefer sirloin steak with a spicy Isan sauce; chicken in tamarind sauce is also recommended. There is a good selection of Thai salads and curries as well. The dessert menu is small, but one of a dozen ice cream varieties should soothe any palates unused to local spices.
