Kanabnam, on Chao Phrya River, Bangkok

Think this is the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to. Getting there isn't difficult. Just take the orange color boat from Sathorn Pier and get off at the Krung Thon Bridge stop and the restaurant is after the bridge next to it. Thanks to Thailand Club who brought me and my sisters' families there. All the food are so nice there and my no. 1 recommendation for local Thai food! Also taking the boat is another good ride and to avoid paying those B500 longtail boat for touring. You just need to pay B17 (HK$4). Then take a taxi back to the hotel or your next destination, as the boat service stops at 7pm.
1. The restaurant. 2. me and my sisters' families.

3. view to Krung Thon Bridge. 4. crokle (not sure the exact spelling).

5.Yum Shrimp salad - excellent lemon grass crunchy and sweet/sour taste with the shrimp. 6. stir fried bitter gourd leaves - very good stir frying. High heat quick stir frying!

7. oyster omelette - the best I have ever tried! Crispy outside and juicy inside! 8. a must for this river prawn - see at the bottom of this section for how to make it.

9. fried fish in Kiang Leiung soup. Very nice match and soup! 10. though it's not a free range chicken, it's marinated quite well and also grilling in a nice way to keep the juice of the meat.

11. stir fried morning glory. 12. seabass grilled in rock salt.

13. Pad Thai - very nice one! Like I told before, there are a few things I often want to have in order to tell how good the restaurant is. So I have a Pad Thai ordered. They use some very nice dried shrimp and it's a very nice quick stir frying. It's just some little details that makes the dish a whole lot different! Most of the so-called famous Pad Thai are either like a factory-made food or something with heavy gravy, but this one is not. It's made to your oder and the ingredients are nicely picked. 14. my favourite somtam - also very nice!

15. even the Tom Kha Kai is nice! 16. see how this cheerful madam grill the chicken with charcoal.

17. see how the prawn got cooked. 18. the chef poured some oil in it and made it a 2 floor flame like a mini-volcano. I already adjusted this photo to 100% reduced exposure but the flame was too explosive. Even if you are 10 feet away, you may get a bit sun burned. Advise putting on some SPF 30 sun tan lotion. :)

19. Then it's done and served on the table. Interesting the chef put some parsley in it and made it so aromatic! Bravo for the show and 2 thumbs up for whole concept of cooking!
