Moomgapao is a must-visit spot if you're a fan of Thai basil stir-fry (กะเพรา). Located on the 4th floor of Mercury Ville Chidlom, the restaurant offers a variety of creative twists on the classic กะเพรา dish. You can choose from different proteins like crispy pork, chicken, beef, or even seafood, with customizable spiciness levels.
The portions are generous, and the flavors are bold and authentic. The stir-fry is aromatic, with a good balance of basil, garlic, and chili. The crispy fried egg on top is the perfect finishing touch.
The atmosphere is casual, and service is generally quick, but be prepared for a longer wait during lunchtime as it can get quite busy. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and location.
Overall, Moomgapao is a great place to satisfy your กะเพรา cravings in the heart of Bangkok, just be mindful of peak hours if...
Read moreExcellent kaphrao, always. I stop by often as I live nearby. Some interesting variations offered, including my favorite, กะเพราเปิดพะโล้/kaphraopet phalo/stewed duck in chilli and holy basil. Some folks like a dry kaphrao, others like it saucy/juicy, but I like it right in between the extremes, and Moom Gapao gets it just right. Chilli level at medium is perfect. They also ask you whether you want a soft or well-done yolk on your fried egg topper. Or a small omelet if preferred.
Way better than the Mark Weins place in Sukhumvit. Not as good as my favorite street vendor on Lang Suan but her hours are extremely limited, it's takeaway only and the wait time is very long. So this is my go-to for kaphrao in the neighborhood despite it's shopping...
Read moreNice joint for quick Gapow rice (Thai Spicy dish with basil) located on 4th floor of Mercury Ville Chidlom. Provide good service with ideal Thai fast food dish. This place highly focused on Gapow dish, and they only have 2 options on their menu for you to select between Chicken or Pork Gapow.
Overall dining experience here is ok. It’s nice to have Thai fast food dish in nice and quiet environment.
Warning : it’s spicy!! Make sure you can handle one.
