TOM YUM is the must-order soup. Add P35 for noodles. Prepare to pair chili spiced dishes with ICED THAI MILK TEA, and have a scoopful of the MANGO-APPLE SALAD WITH CANDIED DRIED FISH. CINNAMON PORK with greens. GREEN CURRY SALAD is so-so. But the RED CURRY, and CRISPY, SWEET PORK BELLY, oh, delish!
