Like the old days

» While fusing elements of Thai and other cuisines seem to be the norm of many restaurants these days (and there's nothing wrong with that), a new place called Yang Kao Kon chooses to stay faithful to recipes from the old days. This Thai restaurant is part of Frank & Release futsal field and has two levels. The indoor dining room on the first floor looks bland except for a few wooden cabinets filled with old stuff. There isn't much of a view through the tall windows unless you consider men kicking balls in a field to be a visual feast. The upper level offers outdoor dining with a view of the neighbours' roofs and antennae. You can tell from its look that Yang Kao Kon isn't the kind of place to go for a date (unless you two are on the 50th date) but should befit a low-key traditional meal. Their customers include futsal guys and white-collars in the area. Being a ma-and-pa place, their menu lists all dishes in Thai and without the accompaniment of saliva-inducing descriptions, but that doesn't mean their food is plain.
