Kao Tom Salmon & A Poached Egg - High in Omega-3’s, this dish contains salmon, ginger, and celery leaf in a flavourful broth. The celery leaf does the magic - just a few stirs of your spoon will infuse its earthy, fragrant, and onion-like tang into the soup. 15.5

Verdict? Simple and hearty fare with comforting Thai flavours. The service was friendly and attentive, and the environment was fun, spacious and comfortable. I'd be keen to see more Thai breakfast dishes on the menu.
