山窟迪!Yelp Elite discovered the most authentic Thai north of the bridge atBoThaiin Crows Nest. Owner Alex – the man behind Home Thai, the best-rated Thai restaurant on Yelp – has assembled a dream team of passionate staff that wowed guests with their enthusiasm and a veritable feast of flavoursome food. Former basketballer and Head Chef Komkrit Kheawwan (AKA “Aof”) kicked things off with a cooking demonstration of Som Tam and Po Taek, while maître d’ Anusara Pengpan (AKA “Hung”), who hailed from the famous lotus blossom lake in Udom Thani, made guests feel right at home with her infectious smile and a Thai language lesson.
What followed was a feast for the senses. Entrees consisted of delicious Thai street food Meing Kum (diced salmon and fresh lime served in a betel leaf), Royal Thai Prawn (served with creamy chilli sauce, a dish named after current King Bhumibol Adulyadej), and Cap Moo (pork crackers with spicy chicken mince). The main courses featured the signature Larb Lamb cutlets coated in a spicy crust, crowd favourite tempura-fried Morning Glory with tiger prawns topped with fresh salmon roe, Pu Nim Pad Poing Ka Ree (Soft Shell Crab flash fried in yellow curry paste), Nue Prik Thai Dum (Wagyu beef with garlic and black pepper), and curry fried rice and Pad Thai. Phew! The cherry on top was a dessert of Ta Koh (taro with coconut cream). Special thanks to Yardley, the hostess with the mostest, and to the BoThai team for their wonderful and charismatic hospitality. Check out thephotosandreviews!
