Yum Hoa Plee

A 'well-dressed, piquant salad' of banana flowers and prawns that 'tap dances out into the limelight,' served elegantly in the 'canoe embrace of a purple and white petal.'

These grilled pork belly skewers are served with an egg for dipping and benefit from a genuine charcoal grill; critics say the dish is 'just as good as it sounds.'

These "charred, cumin-dusted" skewers are the essential way to start the meal, with critics noting they "always order on arrival" and suggesting "it’s worth having two."

Lamb Shank Massaman

The undisputed star of the menu; a hefty, tender leg of braised lamb in a deeply fragrant, rich coconut curry.
