Kru Absorn >> traditional Thai cooking in royal style

This small restaurant has a/c room offer seat around 50 seats for guest. Therefore, the big group tour must forget about this place. During lunch time, many  officers who work at Bangkok metropolitan occupy this place.

Tourist should visit there around 12.30-13.00  or before noon in order to get the seat.

This restaurant has 5 branches, the owner use to be a private chef for Her Highness Princess Jakree Sirinthorn. After retirement, she opens kru Absorn for keeping herself busy. Now it’s become a medium size business

Krua Absorn

Recommend Food : Crab meat in egg omelets (ไข่ฟูปู) , Keng luang bua lai or  sour soup with fish and lotus steam (แกงเหลือบัวไหล) , Meang Kana << Chinese broccoli  with herb and tamarind sauces  (เมี่ยงคะน้า), Koong Tood Kra team ( stir fried shrimp with garlic). All mouthwatering  menu that you should not miss which is not easy to find in shopping mall and restaurant.

Krua Absorn Samsen was reviewed and listed in Michelin Bib Gourmand . I went to both of them and the taste of food is very similar for both places.

Mit Ko Yuan ( มิตรโกหยวน)

60 years old and family run restaurant that you should not miss is at Mitkoyaun. A small restaurant is offering yummy food for local for many decades. If they are not good , they should not last this long . The restaurant is the basic dining place for local.

 

The place separate for 2 sections as a/c room and  non a/c in the front of the building. You feel like meeting old folk and always know what you think.
