Bangkok 2nd Trip - Day 5 - Somboon Restaurant

Destination of the Night : Somboon Restaurant at Surawong

How to go there : Get out of Silom BTS station. Turn right when you see a street of pub. Walk till end and turn left. Continue down the road. If you see Le Meridien hotel on your right, you are on the right track.
Or
Get out of Chong Nonsi BTS Station and head back from the way of BTS that come. Walk straight and you will reach the restaurant. This way is less crowded and easier to walk but I find the road is quiet and the shop is closed. So if you are alone take care.

Somboon Restaurant is a highly famed restaurant in Bangkok. Even the ex Japan Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi have visit the restaurant.

Famous dish here is their Fried Curry Crab. Other dish here is not bad too.

Below are the dish that we ordered. We just choose one dish each of us. It does not mean other dish in the restaurant not worth to try. Like their tom yam soup should taste very good too but most of us feel bored with tom yam soup on dining table.

4 type of vege with special oyster sauce.

Fried Curry Crab. Personally I feel Malaysia fried crab taste better but the crab here is quite huge. Hard to find similar size crab at other place.

Salt baked fish. The skin of the fish is covered with large amount of salt. The skin is basically too salty to be eaten this way.

To eat this fish, you need to peel open the skin and eat the meat beneath the skin. The meat is succulent with juicy flavor. Add some extra chili for extra flavoring.
