Chao Phra Ya Description:
Named for the river that flows through Bangkok, this small but elegant suburban Thai restaurant falls right in with the mainstream: It looks sleek and modern, with its Thainess coming not from Thai trinkets but from the swirling water patterns on the tables and walls. Very popular at lunch---dinners are less crowded---this restaurant offers the standard Thai menu, but the dishes are cooked with panache. Start with the combo sampler, a bargain method to taste the satay, spring rolls, shrimp balls, fried tofu and stuffed chicken wings. Then if you like to breathe fire, order the wild pork, a stir-fry of pork with red curry paste, green peppercorns and chilies. It’s sublime. We also recommend the crispy duck with basil and the above-average pad Thai. The kitchen will make up specials for you: We asked for stir-fried tofu and bean sprouts, something to cool the palate after the wild chilies.
