Kub Kao' Kub Pla, Gaysorn Village

Bangkok, Kub Kao' Kub Pla, Gaysorn Village

We stumbled upon Kub Kao' Kub Pla while roaming about the new wing at Gaysorn (3rd Floor Gaysorn Tower, 999 Ploenchit Road, tel : +66 2 075 2661). I read that the restaurant started out as a cafe/dessert place in Thonglor. The food that they serve here are a mix of common and/or contemporary Thai dishes and Thai influenced western food.

One more local-ish lunch before we head back.

Bangkok, Kub Kao' Kub Pla, cowslip creepers

Even more cowslip creepers again. I did mention us liking them. This time, they're stir fried with glass noodles, egg, dried shrimp and cuttlefish. This was good with rice.

Bangkok, Kub Kao' Kub Pla, shrimp cakes

Kub Kao Kub Pla has a rendition of shrimp cakes of their own. They are deep fried with sliced almonds.

The innards of the shrimp cake were tender and pretty flavourful.

Bangkok, Kub Kao' Kub Pla, ox tongue stew

We had ox tongue stew which certainly wasn't a typical Thai thing. The tongue was tender and the stew was rich with the essence of red wine. Another dish for great pairing with rice.

Bangkok, Kub Kao' Kub Pla, crab balloon omelette

The menu called this crab balloon omelette.

Of course it's just a regular old crab omelette. I thought this nicely done but they very light handed with the salt. I suppose this allowed it to be paired better with their garlic chilli/fish sauce chilli/coriander lime dip.
