SARAS$
INDIAN
(

;
Soi 20, Th Sukhumvit; mains 90-200B; 8.30am-10.30pm; ; Sukhumvit exit 2,
Asok exit 4)
Order at the counter to be rewarded with crispy dosai, regional set meals or rich
curries (dishes are brought to your table). There are shelves of Punjabi sweets and
chaat
(sweet and savoury snacks), and perhaps most endearingly, chai is served in earthenware
cups. We wish all fast food could be this satisfying.
BHARANI$
THAI
(Sansab Boat Noodle; 96/14 Soi 23, Th Sukhumvit; mains 50-200B; 11am-10pm; ; Sukhumvit exit 2,
Asok exit 3)
This cozy Thai restaurant dabbles in a bit of everything, from ox-tongue stew to
rice fried with shrimp paste, but the real reason to come is for the rich, meaty 'boat
noodles' - so called because they used to be sold from boats plying the
klorng
(canals; also
spelt
khlong
) of Ayuthaya.
BOON TONG KIAT SINGAPORE
HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE$
(440/5 Soi 55 (Thong Lor), Th Sukhumvit; mains 60-150B; 10am-10pm; ; Thong Lo exit 3 & taxi)
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
(spicy/sour fruit
'salad') which is referred to here tongue-in-cheek as 'Sing- apore Som Tam'.
