Google Rating 4.8: Thai Chicken Soup I'd Call a Winter Must-Eat

Feeling a bit bored with Thai street food, I blindly picked a nearby Thai restaurant based on Google ratings. It's just a few blocks from home in Midtown, close to K-Town. The moment I walked in, my expectations were met and exceeded by the dishes. 💫 Tom Kha Confit Chicken & Grilled Artichoke Heart Bring your bestie or partner to order this chicken soup! It's been a long time since I've had a meal in New York that I felt compelled to recommend to every single person dining here. The rich coconut flavor, aromatic broth, and the perfect addition of galangal and a hint of chili make this soup truly special. The chicken is so flavorful and tender that the large pieces of chicken leg fall apart with just a gentle pull. The interplay of the meat's sweetness and the broth's lightness is delightful. A few sips and the winter chill is gone. ⚠️ For just $26, you get a huge portion that feels like an amazing deal. 💫 MUEK YANG (Marinated Baby Squid) Another highly recommended appetizer, the squid is perfectly seasoned and pairs beautifully with a touch of lime sauce. The slight acidity enhances the squid's natural sweetness. Served with shredded pear and candied nuts, it's a complex yet harmonious flavor combination. 💫 Crispy Chive Sticks This dish is hard to translate but similar to Sichuan-style mugwort cakes, only with less oil. The chives and glutinous rice are wrapped together and pan-fried. The exterior is crispy while the inside is chewy, served with a sweet soy sauce. It's magical, appetizing, and delicious. 😋 The Pad Thai and Ka Prow Peking Duck (spicy stir-fried roast duck) were also very satisfying, with generous portions and impeccable flavors. The first dish, the chicken soup, was so impressive that even after finishing our meal, my friend and I were still talking about it and planning to come back the next day. 📍 Kraam #NYCLife #NewYork #NYCEatingDrinkingAndFun #ThaiCuisine #RestaurantRecommendation #ThaiFood #NYCExploration #NewYork
