Authentic Thai Cuisine: Must-Try Krua Apsorn in Bangkok

Hello, everyone! This is travel blogger Jones Go. Today, I'm going to share with you a vivid review of the most memorable restaurant during my trip to Bangkok, Krua Apsorn (ครัวอัปษร). This place, called ครัวอัปษร in the local language, is said to be very famous among Thai people.

Also, this restaurant has other branches nearby, so please refer to them. I finished my meal at the main branch. This restaurant is awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand.

What kind of place is Krua Apsorn?

Krua Apsorn is a place where you can taste traditional Thai home cooking, and is especially famous for its yellow curry and omelette. I ate at the main branch among the many branches, and I was really satisfied because the taste was good and the atmosphere was nice.

I ordered yellow curry and omelette at this restaurant. I've always thought that I should definitely order these two menus because I've heard that they're famous. I haven't tried them yet, so I was curious about what they taste like.

I didn't know that these two were combined into one menu, but when I asked the waiter if I wanted to order these two menus, he said that it would be better to order the set menu since these two menus were available as a set menu and I could enjoy both flavors at the same time for a slightly cheaper price.

So I ordered the set menu that combined the two menus. The waiter was very kind and nice. I guess he thought that since the menu I ordered was popular, it would be better for the restaurant to sell it as a set menu.

Reviews of visiting various branches and the main branch

There are several branches of Croix Apson, but I ate at the main branch. The main branch is popular not only with locals but also with tourists, so there may be a wait during meal times. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to get a seat right away and eat.

Yellow curry and omelette, Must-Try Krua Apsorn in Bangkok

I ordered yellow curry and omelette here. In fact, I heard a lot that these two menus were famous, so I really wanted to try them. At first, I was going to order each dish separately, but the staff recommended that I order the set menu to enjoy it at a cheaper price, so I ordered the set menu.

When I finally saw the food that I had been waiting for, the visual was unbelievable. I ordered two of their signature menus and was impressed by their special taste.

The yellow curry tasted like the Korean kimchi stew that my mother made when I was young. The review said it was a little spicy, but I found it very spicy. And it tasted exactly like the kimchi stew made with canned tuna. At that time, the canned tuna tasted like the soup inside the canned tuna. I think they added fish sauce.

I was impressed by this taste. It was the taste of my memories. And what was special was that it was a type of vegetable that I had never seen before, and it had holes inside. And in my mouth, it felt like a soft sponge, but the vegetables were not too hard and crunchy.

I felt that the spiciness and these vegetables went really well together. Don't worry about the vegetables. There were plenty of them. Because I ate it alone, but it was so delicious that I was worried it would disappear quickly..! So don't worry!

A special combination that you can enjoy at a lower price with a set menu

When I ordered a set menu, I was able to taste yellow curry and omelette at the same time. The price was cheap and the portion was generous, so I was really satisfied.

An unforgettable taste, yellow curry that reminds me of Korean kimchi stew

Yellow curry had a really unique taste. The moment I took my first bite, it tasted like the kimchi stew my mother used to make when I was little. The reviews said it was a little spicy, but I personally thought it was quite spicy.

It tasted exactly like kimchi stew made with canned tuna, and I think it was because of the fish sauce added.

The charm of a soft omelette full of crab meat

The omelette was also really delicious. For me who loves crab meat, it was a really happy taste. There were large crab meats inside the soft egg, so my mouth was filled with happiness with every bite. Yellow curry, omelette, and even heart-shaped rice! Everything was a perfect combination. The omelette is not just any omelette.

It is not ordinary at all. As someone who loves crab meat, I regret not having discovered this dish until now. Crab meat and eggs go really well together. If you order an omelette at this restaurant, you will get an omelette with real crab meat inside. And all of this, along with yellow curry and heart rice, costs about $5. This restaurant reminds me of my childhood and gives me the special gift of a crab meat omelette.

A special experience that I regret eating alone in Authentic Thai Cuisine

For me, it was a restaurant that I regretted coming alone, and if I had visited with friends, I would have been able to taste more dishes. On the day I visited, I could see many families and friends sitting around the table. I enjoyed eating because the food at the restaurant was really delicious, but I also really liked the energy of the people sitting around the other tables and the lively atmosphere of the restaurant.

If you come to Thailand, be sure to visit this restaurant. Although I ate alone, I didn't feel lonely thanks to the laughter and lively atmosphere from the tables around me. It felt even more cozy because there were many families there.

Enjoying a meal in a lively atmosphere

I thought that Krua Apsorn was not just a place to eat delicious food, but a place to have fun with people.
