Chalong Has Become My New Favorite Thai Spot in New York! 🥰

Baerng Golae $16 Promise me you’ll order this appetizer! 🥺 The crispy coconut shell encases shrimp cooked in southern Thai curry—fresh, bouncy, and bursting with flavor. The layers of texture and taste are just amazing! 🌟 Crab Curry $28 🦀️ Soft-shell crab curry with a spiciness level of two stars (it’s really a bit spicy 🥵), but the curry over rice is just heavenly! I had to restrain myself from ordering another bowl of rice and remind myself to be disciplined (the main reason for restraint was the heat). Mee Pum Riang $24 Coconut curry-flavored fried rice noodles helped me cool down from the spice, especially when paired with Thai iced tea. Thank you! 🙏 This place is perfect for a meal after watching a Broadway show! Highly recommended! I genuinely love this spot! Just a heads-up: the spiciness level here is no joke—two stars really means it’s spicy! 🔥 📍Chalong 749 9th Ave, New York, NY 10019 🏙️ #Chalong#NewYorkThaiCuisine 🍜
