TATLER TIPS
Start with tord man gung or lightly spiced shrimp cakes fried to perfection, or yam pla duk foo, a crispy catfish salad with green mango and cashews. The gaeng khieo wan gai or green curry chicken has a balanced blend of sweet and spicy, which makes a joyous pairing with the fragrant jasmine rice. Have some delicious seafood or meat fresh off the wok such as the phad bai kaprao, a dish enlivened by garlic, onion, chilli, and basil. Reward yourself with little parcels of happiness with the tako dessert of water chestnut with coconut and tapioca pearl pudding.
