Today Meeting Point is taking you to a Thai restaurant with excellent food: Ruean Lom Fang in Nakhon Nayok. If you are heading to Nakhon Nayok, this is one we really recommend: tasty, inexpensive and with a lovely atmosphere.
There are plenty of standout dishes here. The recipes have been served for more than 30 years, so you know they are good, and no dish contains MSG, which gives us confidence in both health and flavor, all carefully made. Once you are full, take a stroll in the garden behind the restaurant. It is shady, cool and relaxing, and it feels like eating at home.
Let's look at what we ate.
Seafood curry custard in a young coconut, 160 THB: coconut milk is stir-fried with red curry paste, then shrimp, squid and fish go in with Thai basil, young coconut meat and egg. It is cooked down, spooned into the coconut and steamed. The red curry paste is pounded in-house, so it is wonderfully fragrant with spices, mellow and smooth with coconut aroma. With hot jasmine rice it is fantastic, and it is beautifully presented.
Tom yum goong with young coconut, 200 THB: really spicy, with big fresh shrimp simmered in a bold, punchy tom yum broth. The young coconut adds a sweet, soft fragrance that blends perfectly with the heat. Delightful.
Spicy stir-fried crispy catfish: juicy and delicious. The fish has no muddy smell at all, and it is very moreish.
The restaurant has also opened a coffee shop, Tsai Secret by Ruean Lom Fang, so besides great food you can enjoy fresh coffee and other drinks.
