Savours of the South
Life, Ung-Aang Talay, Published on 07/06/2013

» Last weekend a shared craving for Isan food sent Ung-aang Talay and some friends to Lat Phrao Soi 101, where there is a branch of the Tam Mua restaurant that had impressed a food-alert neighbour of U-a T's strongly enough to inspire him to mention it twice. It turned out to be an appealingly informal place with customers seated on square stools rather than chairs, simple decor, and the the kind of relaxed atmosphere amenable to long sessions of eating and talking.

And no wonder, because these dishes, plus a few others, define the boundaries as far as most Bangkok restaurants are concerned.
