Khua Kling Pak Sod | Bangkok
BURN YOUR MOUTH IN THE SOUTH
On the dankness meter, this restaurant sits up top. There are few places in Bangkok where you'll get southern food as tasty and diverse as here. Don't go to the Sathorn Branch, but come to the Thong Lo temple, and reserve a table if you're not prepared to wait.
Their signature pork dish was fiery as hell, salty, umami laden and downright delicious.
The fried fish rice is apparently Gaggan Anands favourite dish, and we're seeing why. Funky and spicy and crispy and delicious all in one, this plate was killer.
The shrimp were plump, fresh and tangy. Spicy to the afterglow, but not aggressively so.
These greens, one of the house specialties, were fire.
I don't know, sometimes when you order multiple dishes one or two of them are forgotten. I honestly can't remember that much about this bowl of curry, so I guess it didn't change my life.
All in all tho, Khua Kling is a place you come to share plates with people you love and look them in the eye when they spoon some goodness into their mouths.
It's unmissable in Bangkok, unmissable.
