SIGNATURE DISHES

Yum pla salid Taling Pling Chicken in pandanus leaf Fishcake roll Beef green curry with roti Tom yum goong with coconut

SETTING: The decor is bright and modern with colourful cushions and interesting photographs of old Bangkok.

FOOD: The menu offers authentic Thai cuisine with a number of home-style dishes providing an interesting diversion from the commonplace. No Thai meal is complete without soup and tom yum goong should not be missed; the incorporation of slices of young coconut is a welcome textural addition. House speciality beef green curry is wonderfully spicy, but beware of the hot green chillies lurking within. Here the curry is served with roti, a flat, pancake-like bread. Another house speciality, roast duck panaeng, is rich and flavoursome, the preparation somewhat drier than the green curry. Numerous vegetable dishes are available to complement the curries, perhaps the most interesting being gourd leaves with oyster sauce. To round off the meal, try sinfully sweet and creamy banoffee pie.

WINE: A small selection of red, white and sparkling wines from around the world.

SERVICE: The staff is polite and attentive without being overbearing.

PRICE: A meal for two comes to about 1,000 baht, without wine.
