BANGKOK AMAZING GOURMET

Nostalgic palace cuisine
A few (Thai) restaurants named after the noble surname Chumsai (of Chumsai na Ayudhya), tend to classify themselves as palace cuisine. One remarkable "Chumsai" is the Krua Chumsai on Soi Ratchakru. The decor, the menu and even the clienteles are nostalgic (yes there we share joyful ambiance with big-hair noble ladies in groups chatting with friends of the same, and singing live band karaoke, songs from the 40's - 70's).
Thanks to the inherited palace recipes, food at Krua Chumsai is unparalleled delicious, some dishes serve at Krua Chumsai are (quite) exclusive.
1. spicy sausage; 2. dips of preserved crab in coconut milk
3. Thai hors d'oeuvres (they are good!)
4. wok-fried eggplants and crispy pork fat (so good very good!)
5. deep-fried sea bass in spicy and sweet mango dressing
6. spicy and sour chicken soup in blackened broth (pungent hot, yummy!)
7. four-color flour balls with hot-spring egg in coconut milk

This Palace Eatery sounds unique. Maybe I shall try once.
Songs in 40 to 70's fit me too.
Not sure if I passed by this one years ago when I once stayed at Ari area. There are indeed quite many nice restaurants in this area.
Awaiting for photos of palace cuisine.
