Kuakai Nimman has been a runaway success since it opened its doors serving sizzling plates of chicken noodly delights topped with gooey soft boiled eggs, fried squid and chicken skin. Kuakai Nimman’s vibrant and chatty owner, Sarinya ‘Mam’ Sriyarb has now opened a second branch of the restaurant under a new name: Mam Ktchen & Sarinya Café. Residents from further afield no longer have to battle Nimman’s traffic to find this restaurant, which has good parking spaces and more tables as well as a new bakery and café corner. Sarinya is proud of the fact that most of her ingredients are sourced from the Royal Projects and are organic. If you haven’t tried the famous sizzling chicken noodle plate, then that should be your first order of business, but if you are an old hand at Kuakai, try branching out and ordering the minced pork toast, a classic central Thai dish and the rich and creamy drumstick khao soy. Wash it all down with some refreshing lemon tea or freshly squeezed orange juice.
