Time Out says

What is it? A Bib Gourmand from the MICHELIN Guide Thailand and quite possibly the place in Bangkok that takes khao chae most seriously. 2026 marks a decade of the restaurant's existence and the kitchen has expanded its condiment offering to ten items in deliberate reference to the anniversary – including signatures like the fried salted egg yolk balls and ma-uan, a stuffed horse-shaped side dish that regulars tend to order extras of.

Why we love it: Two new additions join the spread for 2026: prik hang bang chang tod, a dried chilli stuffed with smoked crispy fish, and pan sip jum laeng, a dumpling, reimagined for the dish. The rice itself goes through a multi-stage process – washed, cooked, polished, steamed and then smoked with scented candles – before meeting cool jasmine water.

Time Out tip: The set is priced at B1,890 for two and advance booking is required – don't attempt to walk in. Two branches are available if one is full.

Khao. Ekkamai 10 (also at Wireless Rd). Daily until May 31.
