The Baker goes BKK: Ban Khun Mae

Last came here 3 years back when I was in Bangkok, and visited this place twice because I liked the food here. Located opposite the Novotel hotel at Siam Square, I'm back again this time.

Inside the setting is rather traditional; some of the tables are made of old-fashioned sewing machines.


Well, we were so hungry, we dug in without taking a shot first, so here's a half eaten Tom Yum Goong. Full of seafood; and the spiciness was just right.


Green curry with chicken. The curry was creamy, and you can taste the sinful aroma of coconut milk. The chicken pieces were tender enough. I always love green curry with rice; makes you eat the rice non-stop.


Otah fishcake. These were pretty good. It was soft on the inside and pretty tasty.


Prawns steamed in coconut milk.


Fried mixed vegetables. Pretty normal stuff here.


Pad Thai. I think this was good. You don't get the queasy feeling like that from the Thai Express version, which can be a little too sweet sometimes. The noodles were thin and soft, but not overcooked.


Pineapple rice. The rice was a little dry in my opinion, but as usual, the nuts gave it additional flavours.


Desserts are a must here, as they are pretty authentic, and way better than what you get in Singapore. The red ruby here are practically large pieces of chestnuts covered thinly with the chewy exterior.


Thai Tapioca. Slightly too sweet, but the whole piece was very soft. Sinfully good.
