Thang Loong, Langsuan, Bangkok, Thailand

Thang Loong in Vietnamese means flying dragon and it's the ancient name of the current Vietnam's Capital city Hanoi. The first time I tried Center Point Langsuan was dated back to the year of 1999. It was also the time I got brought to a condo named PST as well as to this Vietnamese restaurant Thang Loong. Later on whenever I passed by this restaurant, it just brought back some memory of those good old time I stayed in Langsuan. It was an evening of 4th April, 2010. I decided to visit this restaurant again.

1. these 2 sauces are still the same. 2. Steamed rice roll wrap. Pretty nice texture with balanced ingredients like minced pork, diced water chestnut and black fungus...etc.

3. Stir fried morning glory. Quite hot though. 4. Shrimp paste on cane. Fresh shrimp paste and deep fried very well.

5. veggie to go with your meal. This place has been serving some very nice and fresh veggies. Seldom have I found some rotten veggie. Something not significant but it is an index for how the kitchen is managed. 6. grilled beef. Not bad either. 7. deep fried fish with lemon grass. Still pretty good. Crispy and dry on the coating, but the fish chunks are not cut in average size.
8. Stuffed squid with minced pork. 9. the restaurant setting used to be all white with a high ceiling from the 2nd floor on one side so that in the afternoon the sun light could come in to make the room so clean and bright. Now the decoration tends to be very dim with more green and wooden color.

10. this was what the high ceiling area. 11. the 2nd floor is good for some functions like private party.
12. the entrance.

This Vietnamese looks quite expensive and fancy. The portion is small.

The price ranges from THB120 to 400. The above plus one more repeated order of steamed roll is at THB1,400. BTW, note that small curl of rice noodle. It's very nice to go with the meal and no need to order rice.

Yes the curly rice noodle looks unique.
