So, we went back to Chandrphen. Yes, this is the type of place I love! Again full house, lots of loud and outgoing locals, a lot of families. Small kids, grandparents.
We started off with small deep fried prawn rolls (tasty but a little heavy, prepacked from the freezer I think), and a spicy papaya salad. The salad was good, one of the best I had so far in BKK. A good balance between sweet, sour, spicy and tangy. They serve raw white cabbage and fresh morning glory with the papaya salad, I think to get some relief and ‘clean’ your mouth from the spiciness of the salad. It worked at least.
Next up, fried rice with prawns and Chinese spinach with garlic and chilli. The fried rice was excellent: it had that wok hei flavour, and the taste was very balanced, leaning more towards Cantonese versus how some Thai fried rice dishes can be bold and sweetish. The spinach was good, though I had preferred to have morning glory again but they were out.
And to top the meal off, we ordered Thai style bbq chicken and braised and then fried duck with plum sauce on top of it. The chicken was lovely, better than their famous bbq chicken I had earlier in the week. Succulent and juicy meat, and a treat with their homemade chili sauce.
The duck was excellent, and a new rendition to me, crispy and soft at the same, and then with a sweetish plum sauce. The food was so good that we finished it all at the end, even though we were already full and wanted to take leftovers back to the hotel.
The servers then suggested to look at the dessert menu. I did, and took vanilla/coconut ice cream in some sweet coconut sauce with these sweet pink thingies. Lol this was almost done before I remembered to take a pic, standout dessert.
The overall bill was 2200 baht, around 60 euro. We also had some young coconut juice with flesh, Chinese tea, and two pitchers of their draught beer. We may go back later this week as they have Peking duck, but only serve them whole (1200 baht). The service is excellent - they are kind and helpful. Great place!
