Kalpapruek (Centralworld)

There are plenty of resons why this bistro serving fuss-free Thai comfort food draws in such a crowd of hungry shoppers: authentic Thai flavors (even by the standards of its picky, local clientele), comfortable, relaxed seating, and decor that puts its shopping mall neighbors to shame. Whether it's a plate of kanom jeen, som tam with grilled pork or a simple plate of fried rice, the food is consistently delicious.
