Ban Thai, Shinjuku (film)
Photos taken on 22nd May, 2010.
Kodak Super Gold 400. Canon EOS 300 camera.
These are from last Saturday. My friends and I had Thai food at Ban Thai in Shinjuku. The restaurant is heavily decorated with wood carvings…totally love it :)
I love their krapow but opted for a bowl of beef noodle instead coz’ I had krapow 3 times last week *laugh Oh….sorry for the out of focus photo…
My friend tried their kraprow but it was too spicy for her :o I guess most Japanese can’t take spicy stuff. I love kraprow!!!
Bubble tea. At first I thought this will be very sweet but it turned out great. yummy…arhh.. another out of focus photo…It’s kinda difficult to get a clear shot of the object when the lighting is very dim indoor…
* Love their wood table with carvings. *

There’s a lot of pretty good Thai restaurant in Tokyo and I’ve been to quite a few. I’ll blog about them some time.

I’ve never seen someone post about Thai restaurant in Japan (even if someone did).
That 4th picture, we call in full “Kraprow Gai (if chicken) Kai Dao (with egg)” If you order pork we call Kraprow Moo.
^^
Hi! Thank you for letting me know the correct names :) I learnt something new today. btw. Does “Gai” means chicken and “Moo” means pork? I love Thai food! & I’m really glad that there’s a lot of Thai restaurant in Tokyo!
Ha ha, I also love Korean and Japanese food.
Gai means chicken and Moo means pork, in Thai. Oh and Kraprow is basil.
Thanks :) I’ve learnt 3 Thai words today! “Gai”, “Moo” & “Kraprow”! Teach me more pls!
One word. Drool.
hehehe :) All your food pictures make me drool too!
these are really nice pictures, MK! That fried egg on top of the rice is making me drool..
Thank you Allison :) Ryoko mentioned that there’s good Thai food in Seattle too. Have you try?
There’s a ban thai here as well! I always have masaman curry, but I’ll have to try kraprow next time!
Oh. I think there’s a lot of Thai restaurant with the name of “Ban Thai” or “Barn Thai”…I’m not sure why… masaman curry sounds Indian though…Take some pictures when you’re there next time…would love to see how’s the Thai food like over there.
I’m in love with this!!! Thanks for sharing a bit of Ban Thai
