Frommer's Highly Recommended

The lunch crowd at this attractive Thai restaurant consists of shoppers and tourists, while dinner is quieter. The food is excellent, with polished presentations and expert renditions of classics like pad Thai, satay, curry, and glazed duck. The starters often sound as good as the entrees. Consider making a grazing meal of house specialties like "gold bags" (minced pork, vegetables, glass noodles, and herbs wrapped in crispy rice paper and served with earthy plum sauce) or prawns with yellow curry lobster sauce; the crispy calamari is flavored with tamarind and chili sauces. The romantically lit covered front patio has a secluded garden feel, and inside tables also have indirect lighting. Despite the passage of time, this all-around satisfier remains something of an insider's secret.
