| - Went there for lunch with a girl friend. Arrived at 12pm, expecting the place to be emptied, but there were actually a good amount of patrons in there! My friend's Thai, and I'm Taiwanese (yes, we are from different countries). Anyways, this was the first time for both of us there, so we had the waiter give us some recommendations for what to order. As soon as he told us the crab fried rice was good, we both glared at him and give him the "oh come on, do you want to just show us where the nearest panda express is?" So after he embarrassingly apologized, and my friend started to speak Thai, he recommended something, and that was when my friend got very excited, which got me excited (although I really have no clue why). My friend said they got some kind of squid with spicy dipping sauce, and it's really good. So we put in the order, along with some kind of specialty beef noodle soup and an order of mixed vegetable. In all honesty, my friend put in the order, and I was just going along for the ride! I am the Thai food apprentice =)
When the squid was served, my jaw almost dropped! And the reason was, on the plate were two giant grilled squid. And why my jaw dropped? Because this is the first place I've ever been to that served grilled squid like the way you find it from street carts in Asia! The squid were grilled to perfection, slices into rings, tentacles and all! The dipping sauce was good, and the only way I can describe it is a thick kind of spicy fish sauce. YummmmOOOOO!
The beef noodle was excellent too (after my friend mod it to the spiciness of our preference). Its a none creamy sweet and spicy dark broth with green veggies, beef meat balls, beef tendons and steaks, and bean thread noodles. The bowl is huuuuge, enough to serve 2 to 3.
The most mediocre thing we ordered was the stir-friend mix veggies. Its just your everyday stir-fried mix veggies with chili peppers. But we gotta get those veggies in somehow =) The order was kinda small comparing to the other dishes.
For dessert, we ordered Roti (Indian pancake) with condensed milk drizzled all over. You can never go wrong with that! We also got the fried bananas. We were expecting it to be egg-roll wrapped then fried. Instead, its thickly battered and fried. The batter also had shredded coconut in it, the aroma was nice, and the taste was good, but overall just taste like banana in a giant donut hole. If you're not into fried food, like we weren't, don't order it.
All in all, we'll definitely come back again, especially for that grilled squid!!
We heart Krung Siam!
