Description
After all these years, Eastwood gem Kanomwan is still one of the city’s best-kept secrets. It’s impossible to begin a meal here without sampling an order (or two) of the crisp eggrolls stuffed with chicken, vegetables, and clear noodles. Don’t miss the craveable, fragrant tom yum goong—its tangy spice, lemongrass, and shrimp make for something close to perfection. If your budget allows, splurge on the pla prew wan, deep-fried red snapper served with peppers, onion, tomatoes, and pineapple. In the mood for curry? Try the gang pah, a peppery red version with eggplant, bamboo, straw mushrooms, green beans, basil, and lime leaves.
