We love kui chai too. Kui Chai Ban Na by Kru Tim is one of the famous spots around Ban Na that we'd wanted to try for ages but never had the chance. Today we finally did, and it was so satisfying.
What we ate
- Mixed fillings: Chive, taro, bamboo shoot and jicama. The dough is just right, a little thicker at the folds, and shaped like gyoza. The chive filling is saltier than at other shops but very savoury. The sauce is sweet first, then sour, with a strong flavour. As good as the shop promises.
- Fried kui chai: Crispy outside and soft inside, even better hot. Dip it in the house sauce and we guarantee you'll order more.
