Kura thai Restaurant & Bar<\/strong><\/p>

Thai culinary brings satiety<\/p>

Thamel has long been realized as a main tourist hub of Kathmandu valley. It is a fundamental inclusion in almost every Nepal visitor\u2019s itinerary. Whether for shopping, dining or simply taking in the inherent sights, it is a perfectly fascinating place that impels every visitor to drink life to the lees. The locale itself is sonorous with tourists, rickshaws, hawkers, diners and shops selling almost everything from books and postcards to antiques and adornments that weave the colorful tapestry of Thamel. And right in the midst of all this cacophony is a simple but sublime place – the Krua Thai Restaurant & Bar.<\/p>

Built with a lush garden that cocoons you in downright privacy, the restaurant for the first sight appears deceptively small. However, coming down to the actual capacity, it can easily accommodate 300 people at a time. Besides, it has its own spacious parking zone, terrace, rooftop seating arrangements, separate bar, and above all a newly built dining hall big enough with superb finishing touches that might double the taste of your dessertspoon by endowing congenial atmosphere. Magnificent Thai decor elegantly accentuates the Southeast Asian flavor, whereas the food served in traditional Thai dishes adds the exotic touch.<\/p>

The menu, intriguingly woven by Mr. Wichai Kamnerdtan, the restaurant\u2019s Executive Thai chef, is undoubtedly immense. From a whole range of munchy appetizers to soups to Thai curries, noodles, rice and vegetable preparations, the restaurant has umpteen to offer every visitor. Superb if you start with Yam Kai (boiled chicken salad) or Som Tam Thai (a tangy salad made from shredded young papaya & dried shrimps). Then you can get your way to soups like Tom Yam Koong (the world renowned Thai hot & sour prawn soup with lemon grass) or Tom Yam Kai (spicy and sour chicken soup with lemon grass) or even Kang Jued Tao Hoo Moo Sub, Kai Sub (bean curd soup with minced pork or minced chicken and vegetable).<\/p>

Again, you can fairly enjoy your select from an incredible range of noodle preparations such as Pad Thai Woon Sen (stir fried vermicelli Thai style with dried shrimps and eggs), Pad See Iew Kai Pla Meuk (fried noodle with chicken and squid) and others to rice dishes like Khao Pad Koong (fried rice with prawn and egg) or fried variety of different sorts. The menu runs rife with exotic Thai curries like Kang Khiew Wan Pak (vegetable green curry) and Kang Karee Pak (vegetable Thai style) to name but a few. For those who really crave for fried variety, there are great many options to pick out.<\/p>

Needless to say, Krua Thai is not just a place for meat connoisseurs, it is equally excellent for vegetarians. There are Yam Woon sen Pak (vermicelli salad with vegetable), the mouth watering Som Tam Thai Pak (shredded young papaya salad) and a host of other delectable goodies for them.<\/p>

Though essentially a Thai specialty restaurant, Krua Thai also provides a selective continental menu if you prefer not to indulge in the hot and tangy world of it. The continental preparations are just as good, if not better, as those from the Thai kitchen. So, you can have a choice of desserts round off a perfectly perfect Thai meal. You can also order wines and drinks from the bar which stocks both of local and foreign brands. Last but not least, Krua Thai is the perfect rendezvous for get-togethers, family outings or for casual meals. Yet, the only way to hit this wonderful asset of the restaurant is to check it out.
