Sanguan Sri
$
THAI
This restaurant, essentially a concrete bunker filled with furniture circa 1973, can afford to
remain decidedly cher-i (old-fashioned) simply because of its reputation. Mimic the area's

gaang pèt Ъèt yâhng
,
red curry with grilled duck breast served over snowy white rice noodles. No roman-script
sign.

formerly humble bowl of beef noodles. Choose your cut of beef - including Kobe beef
from Japan - enjoy the rich broth and cool air-con, and quickly forget about the good old

Gaggan
$$$
The white, refurbished villa that houses Gaggan seems more appropriate for an English-
themed teahouse than a restaurant serving self-proclaimed 'progressive Indian', but Gag-
gan is all about incongruity. The set menu here spans 10 courses, ranging from the daring
