Charmgang

My new favorite in Bangkok. So good. So flavorful. So much textures. So balanced. So many feelings. The place itself was beautifully designed, colorful yet moody. I was obsessed with the following: 1) Thai plum soda - perfectly tart balanced with a but of saltiness 2) Smoked Duck Wafer with black witch grapes - perfect way to whet your appetite 3) Sugar Cane Smoked Pork Jowl Salad with Southern Sour Mango - can’t get enough of this. This was incredibly flavorful and balanced. 4) Crab Omelet - looks like a simple omelet. It doesn’t even look fancy at all, but wow the flavors really do come through and the crab meat was chunkyyyy 5) Noi-Nha Custard Apple in Coconut Syrup with Crispy Coconut - IT WAS OVER WITH THIS DESSERT. It was similar to a Philippine halo halo experience (where you mix different elements all together) but also reminiscent of cereal (there’s more liquid / milk, then portions of crunchy, chunky bits). It was a new and familiar experience! The flavors and textures were so good and mindblowingly simple to me and at the same time it felt new and nostalgic. Best feeling. I love this restaurant. 5) Thai canele - they fave this as a complimentary bite. Ugh it was good too. It reminded us of Philippine kakanin called calamay, but with a burnt exterior that it crunchy but chewy on the inside.
