Recently, I discovered a new restaurant in the Bang Lamphu area, located behind Wat Sangwet Wichayaram School. I had a delightful lunch there and was so impressed that I brought a friend back for dinner. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the restaurant's decor is clean and stylish, making it a perfect place to relax and take some great photos.

Nestled in the heart of Samsen 1 Alley, also known as Wat Sangwet School Alley, lies a quaint little shop named "Yuing Siam." The interior design is dominated by the pristine white color, adorned with Louis-style furniture and an array of small framed photographs depicting European houses, arranged in clusters on the walls.

Upon entering the establishment, we were promptly greeted by the service staff who escorted us to our seats and presented us with a menu. The menu offered a diverse selection of both Thai and Western cuisine. For this particular visit, we opted for Thai dishes.

Spicy Glass Noodle Salad

Note: This translation assumes the original text is in Thai and refers to a specific dish called "Yum Woon Sen," a spicy glass noodle salad.

The first dish served was a colorful appetizer, the glass noodle salad. The noodles were chewy, the ingredients were plentiful, and most importantly, the taste was delicious. The glass noodle salad was a delight for glass noodle lovers, with a sour leading flavor followed by a sweet and salty aftertaste. The fresh vegetables added a burst of flavor, without being bland or diluted by the vegetable juice that was released, blending perfectly with the dressing.

Sour Curry with Round Scad

This translates the Thai phrase "ต้มส้มปลากระบอก" to English, specifically identifying the dish as "Sour Curry with Round Scad."

The next dish was a sour soup with mackerel. It is a rare dish to find these days. The taste was refreshing and perfect for whetting the appetite. The sourness of the tamarind juice made it even more enjoyable to sip. The large pieces of fish were firm and meaty, with no need to worry about bones.

Fried Sea Bass with Garlic

This dish features fresh sea bass, cut into pieces, marinated, and deep-fried until crispy. It is topped with crispy garlic and served with a tangy and spicy seafood dipping sauce.

Tom Yum Goong (Spicy Prawn Soup with Coconut Milk)

This dish is a classic go-to option when you're unsure what to order. However, it's also a dish that can be difficult to master. If the tom yum goong isn't delicious, you can forget about the rest of the menu. This restaurant, however, excels in its preparation. The broth is rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness, coconut creaminess, and fragrant chili and curry paste. The vibrant color, enhanced by a touch of chili oil, adds to the visual appeal. Served in a small brass pan, this tom yum goong is a delightful and satisfying experience.

Green Curry Stuffed Squid

This dish is rarely found elsewhere, as most people opt for simpler options like green curry with beef or chicken. However, this establishment offers a unique green curry with stuffed squid, boasting fragrant curry paste, fresh coconut milk, and a variety of fresh vegetables. The rich curry pairs perfectly with rice noodles or hot steamed rice, making for a truly satisfying meal.

Pineapple Fried Rice

This dish is vibrantly colorful, served in a whole pineapple, and fragrant with spices. The fresh shrimp is sweet and accompanied by crunchy cashew nuts.

Iced Coconut Milk Tub Tim and Lime Juice

This dessert, recommended by the restaurant, features beautifully colored lodeh, perfectly sized, fragrant with pandan leaves, and infused with the aroma of coconut milk simmered over a smoky candle. Before eating, pour fresh cream to add a creamy texture and a touch of sweetness. A glass of chilled lime juice cleanses the palate, adding a refreshing touch to a sweltering day.

This meal is quite extravagant.

Very full, I must say.

In summary, the restaurant boasts beautiful decor, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. The food is consistently delicious, with some dishes being rare and requiring skilled preparation. The service is excellent, with friendly and welcoming staff. The only drawback is the lack of on-site parking. However, customers can park their vehicles at the adjacent Wat Sangwet temple. Overall, the experience was highly enjoyable, and a return visit is definitely in order.
