| - - I have tried so many Thai restaurants, including Khao San Road, I have to say Pai is my favourite so far. What I have tried:
+ Chef Nuit Pad Thai: omg this dish is AMAZING, so much better than the one at Khao San Rd. It is the most flavourful pad thai I have ever tried. I got it with beef, but the meat came out a bit dry, I would recommend it with chicken or maybe pork.
+ Gang Kiaw Wan in a coconut: basically green curry in coconut, I ordered it with fish since I never had curry with fish before. The curry was herby and so authentic. Other curries I have tried at different Thai restaurant are either salty or sweet. This curry gave a hint of coconut but not too strong, very savoury. The fish fillet was soft but there were not many pieces of fish :(
+ Pad Gra Prow: I ordered this just because it's so popular on yelp. However I have to say this dish was the biggest disappointment out of all I have tried. It's just rice and minced pork with a side of fish sauce (not even better than rice with grilled meat from Vietnamese restaurant). The fish sauce was so tasteless, I think it's because not all people can endure the smell of it. The pork had ok flavour, overall nothing about this dish impressed me.
- Portion: HUGE omg, don't be fooled by my picture, one dish can fill one person up. My bf and I thought the portion would be the same as Khao San so we went for three dishes and had struggle to walk in the end
- Price: a bit more on the pricey side but it's worth it, trust me you need to give it a try, you won't be disappointed
- Great and fast customer service. I reccommend to reserve the table on their website, otherwise you have to spend up to 1-2 hours lining up outside.
