📍Location: Bangkok, Thailand

This time, I came to eat Northern Thai cuisine recommended by my colleague at Lay Lao, a Michelin-recommended restaurant. It originally was just an unnoticeable small stall, but recently moved to a larger and more beautiful location next to the MRT station. The indoor environment is quite nice with strong air conditioning, making it suitable for group dining. On a weekday afternoon, there were still seats available without a reservation, and you can bring drinks inside to enjoy while eating, and the staff did not stop us.

Some of the photos taken don't look very appealing as we devoured the food like hungry ghosts in a few moments 😂, but I tried my best to show the overall picture. Basically, the dishes consist of common Thai dishes, with detailed descriptions in the photos. Overall, I found the food tasty but not particularly amazing; I think it could reach the standard of many street-side Thai eateries.

If there's any special advantage, it's that the restaurant is very new and beautiful, and it's conveniently located, so the food should be relatively hygienic and safe to eat. However, I personally have a decent stomach, so I prefer to enjoy cheap and delicious street food instead. I would only choose this place for group dining when there are many people. Perhaps the higher the expectations, the higher the standards! After various assessments, I give it 3.5 stars 🌟, which means it's fairly good and a place I would consider returning to—sorry, Michelin 🙏.

Fresh prawn sashimi The large raw prawns are the most special dish among these. A slice of raw garlic is placed on the shrimp meat, and when dipped in the green sauce in the middle, it has a taste that is both spicy and sweet and sour, which is very delicious. It's very fresh and does not have any fishy taste. I can assure everyone that no one has had any stomach issues, so you can eat with peace of mind.

Grilled pork neck is quite tender and delicious, but the seasoning is a bit mild, so it's better to dip it in sauce for more flavor. It's sliced very thin; it would be better if it were a bit thicker.
Fried rice with crab meat The crab meat fried rice recommended online is, in my opinion, average. It's tasty but doesn't particularly wow me; it feels like a roadside stall could make it just as well 😂 But it's still worth ordering!
Stir-fried Cabbage with Creamy Omelette This is another dish that I really like and think is quite special. I never thought that stir-fried cabbage could go well with an omelette! The egg mixture is half-cooked and mixed with the cabbage, which is really delicious 😋 I feel like I can try making this at home afterwards, definitely a must-try 👍
Deep fried mixed seafood The fried seafood is coated quite thickly, and the crust is pretty crispy. I remember it being delicious, but I got really full afterward, so I didn't eat many pieces. It's quite a large plate, so if there are many people, you can share it and order more; otherwise, it takes up a lot of stomach space.
Deep fried squid Although it's called deep-fried squid, it actually tastes more like grilled squid. It's quite chewy and not bad at all.
Stir-fried mixed vegetables: A standard stir-fry of vegetables that is neither exceptional nor poor; it is just a typical stir-fried vegetable dish.
