OYO 822 Thai Sabai Hotel

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.

Don't let the name mislead you – "38" is a nod to the founder's lucky number. This porridge hotspot has been simmering since 1962, serving up porridge in its signature brass pots for three generations. Our favourite is the mixed rice porridge option.

Head to this unassuming yet charming restaurant for Thai home-style cooking in Bang Sue district. For over 40 years, diners have been relishing the cosy ambience and a Thai menu that favours seafood over meat. The crispy pork pairs up with a distinctive apple sauce; the tom yum coconut soup is enriched by the flesh of young coconut for a flavour that is a delightful deviation from the norm. Call ahead to nab a table at this neighbourhood gem.

This popular eatery has been serving Thai and Isan classics in a comfortable setting for over a decade. The diverse menu showcases traditional flavours from Hua Hin district, artfully blending classic Thai dishes with popular Isan favourites. Try the signature deep-fried pork belly glazed in a secret Lay Lao sauce with a rich caramelised aroma. Each plate celebrates the bold, zesty character of Thai cuisine. Ideal for discerning diners.

"Krua Sa Ros Jad" combines the owner's mother's name and a Thai phrase meaning "intense flavour" – an apt description of the boldly seasoned food made with fresh ingredients. Try the deep-fried fish in Choo Chee sauce, the robust, well-spiced flavour of which pairs well with the hot Tom Yum chicken soup with young tamarind leaves. The restaurant boasts a unique collection of Buddha statues and antique European ceramics, as the owner is an avid collector.
