    *

    Why not treat yourself to a culinary elevation? This place is all about elevated Thai—with a twist that will make your taste buds do a happy dance.

    Start Your Fasting Adventure with a Wild Card: Tom Saap Beef Soup

    Get your fire on. The starter you’re looking for is the Tom Saap Beef Soup, priced at $24+—and trust us, it lives up to the hype. Picture bright cherry tomatoes, fragrant shallots, and tender beef chunks swirling together in a broth that’s hot enough to loosen your tie. The secret sauce? A pinch of Northern Thai toasted rice powder, thickening the mix into a libation of flavor.

    Why It’s Worth the Heat

    • Deliciously Addictive: One sip and you’ll be hooked.
    • Chef‑Made Finesse: This isn’t your grandma’s soup—this is culinary chemistry.

    Spice That Hits Like a Two‑Punch Combo

    Imagine a flavor kick that’s less “punch” and more “double‑uppercut.” That’s exactly the vibe you get from a dish packed with galangal, lime, and lemongrass. These bright, zesty notes don’t just pop—they keep you coming back the second time around.

    Crispy Kang Kong

    $13++ for a crispy @Kang Kong that brings the heat, but with a neat balance thanks to a softer tamarind‑chili sauce. The secret sauce? A splash of fish sauce mixed with a peppery harmony from the kang‑kong greens and juicy oyster mushrooms—an ideal match for the tangy chili that follows.

    • Fried Kang Kong noodles for that satisfying crunch
    • Gentle tamarind‑chili to cool the palate without dumbing down the punch
    • Fish sauce & pepper seasoning that command the dish’s flavor story

    Cha‑Om Crab Meat Fried Egg

    At $22++, this dish feels outright Thai, featuring cha‑om (a.k.a. the infamous acacia leaf that can be a bit of an acquired taste). The twist? Fry that resinous leaf inside a fluffy omelette and then dunk it in a homemade nam prik kapi—crafted from fermented shrimp paste. The result is an indulgent, savory splash that picks up every bite.

    Honestly, that sauce was the highlight—no doubt it stole the show.

    Got a craving for flavor that packs a punch? Let’s dive into Chiang Rai’s spicy crown jewels!

    1. Chiang Rai Style Stir‑Fried Basil Squid Kaprao£24++

    • Picture this: succulent squid, sizzling in your very own chili paste laboratory, where the aroma alone makes you want to toss your shoes.
    • It’s not just squid – fresh Thai basil, crisp long beans, and a daring slice of chili take the stage, turning every bite into a smoky, herb‑infused adventure.
    • And the sauce? It’s so robust that we happily pour the leftovers straight into the rice bowl. The result? Every grain of rice is soaked in pure bliss.

    2. Sun‑Dried Chicken with Green Chili£20++

    • Think chicken that practically grew under the sun. The recipe? Marinate those tender bites overnight in a delicious blend of palm sugar, pepper, and fish sauce.
    • After that “sun‑dry” treatment in a combi oven, we give it a quick deep‑fry for that golden crispness.
    • Its green chili dip is a tender touch to the palate, a pleasantly lighter companion to the blistering flavors that come before.

    3. Gaeng Som – The “Soup” of the Town£26++

    • Prepare for a soup‑like delight that’s not about being plain. Half‑ripened green papaya slices mingle with a sour seabass fish curry.
    • The base? A homemade yellow turmeric chili paste that paints the dish with an iconic orange hue and adds a surprising sweet kick to the zing.
    • It’s the perfect counterbalance after a lineup of heavy, spice‑laden plates.

    Feeling the heat? It’s all about stealing the spotlight at Chiang Rai. Happy tasting!
