Kinnaree by Vanessa WU, a contemporary Thai restaurant on Sukhumvit Soi 8, convenient via BTS Nana. Great atmosphere. Standout dishes: fresh shrimp miang kham (320), perfectly balanced; deep-fried papaya salad loaded with seafood (300); tom yum with fresh grouper, seasoned really well (280/480/550).
Red curry with smoked grilled duck, rich and not too spicy (450); crispy soft-shell crab stir-fried in curry powder, rich and fragrant (450); large red tilapia fried three-flavor style, crispy outside and tender inside (520); fermented fish fried rice fully loaded, with clear signature of the chef's skill (260); and fragrant durian fried rice paired with crispy fried durian (300).
Cabbage with budu sauce and crispy shrimp, fragrant and pleasantly unusual (200). The palm sugar ice cream, lightly sweet and fragrant, paired with golden crispy rolls, is really delicious. Open daily, lunch 12-3 PM, dinner 6-11 PM.
