DB Plus 2

This cosy halal spot run by a Thai-Muslim family brings the Peranakan influences of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani provinces to Bangkok. Cooked to order, the dishes – rooted in family recipes – are worth the short wait. Standouts include red sticky rice with fried fish and coconut, punchy seabass with herbs, and la sae, a hard-to-find Narathiwat noodle dish. The space is done out in warm tones, with Southern-Thai touches such as golden Yan Da-O leaves.
