Fans of Wong Kar Wai films just might squeal with delight when they walk into In the Mood for Love (화양연화), a restaurant full of allusions to the Hongkongese director famous for the 2000 film of the same name. From the Tiffany glass pendant lights to movie posters, and a large chunk of pineapple being (in reference to Chungking Express) served with the khao phat kaphrao (Thai fried rice), the restaurant is a lot of fun for Wong Kar Wai film buffs, but perhaps less appealing for those looking for authentic Thai cuisine. Win true fan points and also check out 2046 Pan Steak and Chungking Express, two nearby restaurants also affiliated with In the Mood for Love (and also named after Wong Kar Wai films).
