Buri Tara – Bangkok Dining

Last year my local Thai friend took me to this great little restaurant called Buri Tara down on Rama III Rd by the river. I had no idea where it was located and the friend that took me had since moved to Dubai so I had no way of finding it again. By coincidence I came across a review of the place in a local food guide and bingo – there was the address!

My second visit to Buri Tara was just as good. This place is hidden away behind a carpark and other restaurants and is hard to find with no directions. It is very stylish, nice modern decor and frequented mostly by Thais (always a good sign). They serve great Thai food but I noticed they had added a whole heap of western dishes, most notably pasta. It seems many Thai establishments are adding Italian to their menus due to younger Thais thinking pasta is the ‘cool’ western food to eat. Great, now Thailand will get fat too. But I digress. I had some great fried rice, chicken curry and the best Pad Thai Goong ever (Pad Thai with prawn). Here are some pics…check out the prawn with my pad thai!
