Ok so on usual days we ate Thai street food. I mean food so cheap n goos why must pay for high end dinner right?

However on our travels we usually indulge in one really good restaurant meal. I mean it need not be the most expensive place in town. But we will pull all the stops. We will try everything from starters, main courses n even desserts n drinks.

Last trip we tried Cabbages and Condoms, the famous place (which is also in sukhumvit)

This trip we decided (or rather I decided) on baan khanita on soi 26.

The place was packed with foreigners n locals n luxury cars complete with chauffeurs adorned the limited parking spaces.

Kinda feel under dressed n unkempt as earlier we had shopped till our last bahts in Platinum mall. So we were carrying huge ugly plastic bags into the restaurant

Us waiting for seats at their lobby ( reservations is highly recommended!!) we were lucky it was a late weeknight (8pm) n that was why they were able to accommodate us fairly quickly

Display area of their table wares, all handmade and cute!! But expensive

More decor stuff

Us t the table and the table settings

Soon our drinks arrived

Their drinks recommendations were spot on. Really refreshing and good

Before we move on to food, I must commend on the service here. I commented that my Tom yam is rather bland and immediately they cook a new portion.

The complimentary starter course. You are supposed to take a leaf, put each ingredients on it, wrap and eat!

Taste really really good. Too bad I didn’t catch the Thai name. But it was really popular among other Thai places too.

Pandan-wrapped chicken

Cute rice shape ( refillable for free!! )

Our main courses (Thai curry chicken) this one is really delicious

Some squid dish that was the chef’s special but it was not that good.

Ginger sauce with glutinous ball as dessert

Mango sticky rice!! Although price was 5x more than the price on the street. It was really good with the ice cream on the side, fresh coconut cream and the peanuts!! Really made a whole lot of difference to this simple dessert

Oh well bill came to about 2800baht or about $120

Definitely cheap considering the amount and quality ( some dishes not pictured cos I am too lazy to take the pic/ uploading too laborious)

All pics by iPhone so pardon the quality

Next up is lake kenyir/Trengganu trip or maybe I will do the east java trip first
Anyway stay tuned!
