TV: Thai Style




My bro in law K-bo was performing in Bangkok and we decided to take a road trip and meet up.

One of the places we went was Ban Chiang, in the Silom area near the BTS. I was expecting locals, instead we saw tons of tourists. Your mind must be screaming "TRAP! TRAP!" But it was not. How was the food? I think it was outstanding.

Rated #8 in the trip advisor list of restaurants and recommended by both Fodors and Tatler. The service was outstanding. The food, specifically the darn coconut ice cream was fantastic. Probably the best I have had. Ever. And the pineapple fried rice was delectable, Tom Yum Soup which I was wish was slightly more spicy was already tremendous.

Everyone loved the meal. The deco is a comfortable and nostalgic, the servers were competent in their english and gave good recommendations. Sometimes when you travel to a foreign country, all you want is a place to eat genuine local food that is well cooked and loved by the locals.

The damage in total was about SGD $80 for 4 people. I think its on the high side but still worth a try.

If you're in Bangkok ever again... head to Kuppa, Sukumvit Soi 16. You'll like the place. Hang out there during a lazy afternoon.
