The Somtum Nua at Central Embassy is a more elegant and more hygienic branch (at least from what we see) of the famous somtum eatery in Siam Square. The space comes alive with potted plants and an art-splattered wall.
Somtum Nua is the ideal spot if you like Bangkok-style papaya salad. Try the tum sading, a sweet variation that comes with fermented fish sauce and nutty kratin seeds, and is served with khanom jeen and pork crackling.
