| - I have to admit that I really liked Khao San Road. I would have missed it and not known it was a restaurant if my friend didn't take me there. It's a small restaurant and there's no sign in the front.
The restaurant seems to have poor circulation. I think it's due to the amount of people and the low AC.
If you do go on a hot day, I'd recommend their Cha nom yen. It's a thai style milk iced tea. It's really good, but it can get too sweet. If you find it a bit too sweet, just wait a bit and let the ice melt and dilute it before you drink it.
Gra Bong is a dish I'd recommend for sharing. There's something about fried squash fritters that made me wanted to try it. And I'm glad I did. It's fried where outside is not too crispy, and inside is nice, soft and hot. And the spices they use on it is just right.
I tried the Gaeng Kaew Wan (green curry). It was good, but if you're sensitive to spicy food like I am, you'll feel your tongue burning after a few spoonsfuls with rice. But the flavors are all there, and you wanna continue even though your tongue is burning from the heat.
My friend got the Khao Soi. I tried a bit from hers, and I am definitely ordering that when I go next time. It's like a bowl of tasty curry soup with noodles. so good.
I'd say take a chance and try this out. It's worth it, but just a heads up that it's really busy Friday and weekend nights, especially since the place is small, so expect a line up!
