Run by the same family for over 20 years, this restaurant is something of a hidden gem for spice-lovers. Their signature dish, jungle curry soup with hand-minced fish, provides suitably lip-smacking flavours using ingredients like red chilli, fingerroot and turkey berry. An outdoor area embraces nature, with curved tree trunk tables and an arboretum. Herbs and spices from the forest are used as seasoning, often with game meats – the succulent stir-fried deer with cumin leaves is a must.

Despite its quirky name and simple interior, Beer Hima offers so much more. The family’s seafood recipes from Nakhon Si Thammarat province are loaded with flavour. The southern Thai sour curry with grouper is packed with turmeric and chilli and delivers the perfect harmony of sour and spicy, while the rich, aromatic shrimp paste in the stir-fried prawns with bitter beans awakens the senses. There’s ample parking and a private room large enough for 30 guests.

Banya, or ‘Grandma’s house’ in Thai, embodies this maternal spirit. The menu, conceived by acclaimed culinary teacher Rachadapa Amatayakul, comprises typical Thai fare, some rarer recipes and their famous homely signature – Khao Chae. Also popular is the homemade spotted knifefish with green curry; the tender fish is an umami pleasure in an intense mix of herbs broiled in rich Thai curry. No wonder this place is always crowded with locals and foreigners.
