In-Depth Information
After taking in the exceedingly detailed and ambitious chicken rice manifesto written on
the walls, order a plate of the restaurant's namesake and witness how a dish can be so
simple, yet so delicious. And while you're there, you'd be daft not to order
rojak
, the
spicy/sour fruit 'salad', which is cheekily referred to here as 'Singapore Som Tam'.

Nasir Al-Masri
$$
Part restaurant, part shrine to the glories of stainless-steel furnishings, this popular Egyp-
tian joint simply can't be missed. This is Muslim food, with the emphasis on meat, but the
kitchen also pulls off some brilliant veggie meze as well. Aid your postprandial digestion
with a puff on the hookah in the streetside patio area.

KOREAN
Located on the ground floor of Sukhumvit Plaza (the multistorey complex also known as
Korean Town), this restaurant is the city's best destination for authentic Seoul food. Go
for the tasty prepared dishes or, if you've got a bit more time, the excellent, DIY Korean-
style barbecue.

Tenkaichi Yakiton Nagiya
$
Originating in Tokyo, this equal parts cosy and hectic eatery is one of Bangkok's best and
most popular
izakayas
, or Japanese tavern-style restaurants. The highlights here are the
warming
nabe
(do-it-yourself hotpots) and the smokey
yakitoshi
(grilled skewers of
meat). Expect lots of Japanese-style welcoming - some might call it shouting - by the
staff, and on weekends, a queue.
