Bangkok 2013 - Nara Thai Cuisine at CentralWorld

Nestled on the top dining floor of CentralWorld, Nara at CentralWorld is the 2nd branch of a popular up-market Thai restaurant that has received consistently good reviews in the media. The decor is quite posh with dark wood paneling and period furniture, giving out a retro-chic vibe. The menu is mostly traditional Thai dishes. They are famous for their boat noodles and coconut ice cream.

Their Appetizer Platter is beautifully presented and comes with 5 popular small bites - mini crispy spring rolls, fish cakes, deep-fried wantons, chicken satays and pomelo salad.

We ordered extra fish cakes as they were very good. 

The Pomelo Salad was also very tasty. 

Chicken with coconut milk - a lighter version of the usual Thai curry.

One of my favourite Thai dishes - Kuey Teaw Ratna. Here they serve the rice noodles separately from the sauce. I love the eat the crispy rice noodles on its own.

On the whole, the food at Nara is very tasty and well-executed. The spiciness may have been toned down a couple of notches, but that is welcome rather than have your taste buds battered and numbed. This is a restaurant I do not mind to make repeat visits.
