Baannual Bangkok

in bangkok, thailand (june’24)

wow, finally made it to a shop i’ve been trying since 2021 as our last meal this trip. have been constantly dm-ing them to ask for seats and so lucky this trip i have found someone kind enough to take me with them.

run by chef yu and tommy, they are known to some as the top thai home kitchen and definitely one of if not the hardest table to score in bangkok. there are only 2 large tables so i was so privileged to finally dine here.

my favourite dishes tonight were the cabbage stem fried in salted fish which was so flavourful and the fried crab in chilli and beans. their signature spaghetti dish was very moreish, it had a creamy sauce made of prawn oil and fat and topped with ample large prawns. also really enjoyed the classic thai dishes like pork neck, fish sauce chicken wings and my favourite dish of the fried eagle fish in a slightly sweet sauce. their fried prawn with garlic was also incredibly massive in size drenched in more prawn oil, and their garlic pork liver texture was also cooked well. ended the meal with a banana samosa, untraditional but very satisfying ending. so glad to have finally tried this place, would like the come back for more dishes next time i’m in bangkok.

Owner Sittisak Sakornsin and Sister Yuwarat run this place which is housed in an old Thai house which reminds him of the house of his grand father. It only has 2 tables and up to 12 people. On e has to call ahead to order from the range of 50+ dishes so they can go and buy the ingredients necessary.
Yuwarat cooks everything in just two woks and it really tastes great. The outstanding dish of a great line up were the river prawns with the fried garlic. They cook it separately and then combine it on the plate. An incredibly dish. Less

My next stop in Bangkok was for some more traditional Thai food at Baannual where brother and sister team cook and serve for just two tables. But two tough tables to reserve with them being fully booked up to two months in advance. It’s certainly worth checking out though and the family style homely food is best enjoyed with a group of friends. .

Lunch last week at Baan Nual in Soi Sam Sen 2, Bangkok. Owner Sittisak Sakornsin takes care of the diners lucky enough to secure a reservation at one of his two tables in this small homely restaurant while his Sister Yuwarat cooks family style Thai dishes of the highest quality using ingredients procured from Trok Mor market each morning. It feels less like a restaurant and more like you are eating at your Grandmother’s house. This relatively new Bangkok eatery is fully booked up to 2 months in advance and it is easy to see why. The only way to enjoy this style of cooking is with a group of friends so get on IG or Line and book your table today, you won’t regret it. Less
