Sweet, spicy, thick and strong on flavour, what’s not to like about khao soi from northern Thailand? The meaty curried noodle dish is a Thai staple and now Khao So-I, the iconic eatery originally established in The Rose of the North, has opened a second branch in Bangkok, serving up this classic at a new outlet in Siam Paragon.
Located on the ground floor of the upmarket mall, the restaurant sports traditional Thai-style wooden décor very much in keeping with the original flavours of its time-honoured signature dish. Their strong broth is a winner, blending familiar sweet and spicy flavours that complement delicious egg and crispy-fried noodles.
To celebrate the latest branch, Khao So-I also presents two new dishes featuring Australian wagyu beef. Go big with five meaty slices in the Ultimate Khao Soi (B599), or try a standard bowl of juicy Beef Tongue Khao Soi (B199). You also have the option of pimping up your bowl with extra toppings of braised beef (B59) and scallops (B129). Pork, chicken and seafood iterations of wonderful khao soi are also on the menu.
Check out this northern delight by hopping on the BTS Skytrain to Siam station.
