Travel4food goes to a Thai restaurant : Kin Khao : San Francisco I’ll be honest, I rarely go out for Thai food as I have family and friends who make excellent home cooked Thai (and Lao) food I can’t get in any restaurant. However, I thought I’d play nice and join my friends at Kin Khao, recently opened by Pim Techamuanvivit, who originally hails from Bangkok. Pim was ever the gracious hostess, answering the various questions our table had about the dishes on the menu. She was honest in stating that the dishes and more importantly to me, the seasoning and spicing, was to her personal taste and she wasn’t trying to cater to some notion of “Thai” cuisine, whether that be Bangkok or other regional Thai styles.
I have to say I appreciated that perspective, although I can’t necessarily say I share her palate. What I did love about the food was that it really was an honest and very personal translation of Thai cuisine. My takeaway? Savannah restaurant recommendations? NYC Summer 2014 : MOMA.
