Khao San Road

February 17, 2014

Made my way to Khao San Road with sis and friend on a Wednesday night. By 5:45, it was already packed and super loud! Interesting decor - it's not traditional Thai at all; industrial feel with grey walls and wood tables, servers without uniform.

Thai Iced Tea
Not as sweet as I expected. Thick and creamy condensed milk~ highly addictive and huge portion, couldn't finish.

Squash Fritters
Super crispy without being oily, but couldn't taste squash.

Beef Khao Soi
I like the slightly sweet golden curry. Egg noodles are the flat type similar to the Chinese type, beef brisket was a bit tough for the larger pieces. Eat the crispy noodles before they get soggy.. but either way not a fan of them.



Massaman Curry ~ chicken, potatoes, onion, peanuts
The server described this as a sour curry - and it was indeed sour. The peanuts were whole, instead of crushed as I'd expected. Chicken was tender. Personally not a fan - I prefer green/red curry with more coconut milk taste but wanted to try something new. (haha - server described Penang as 'dry', this as 'sour', and red/green  as 'same but different colors')

Verdict: food didn't live up to its hype for me, but cool vibe.
