Let’s just pick one reason this laid-back, tucked-away place is treasured by those who know it: the fresh curries. Red, green, yellow, pineapple, panang, pumpkin, massamun, jungle. Vegetarian or with chicken, duck, seafood. Best sopped up by the most robust brown rice in town (be sure to request it). And if you need more convincing, we can move on to the soups, like the hot pots of sour-sweet, spicy-salty, coconut-creamy tom kha kai. But you don’t need convincing. You already know.
