Krung Thep exudes a cool vibe with an elegant open kitchen with bar seating, where you can watch the chefs cook your meal over charcoal embers. The kitchen is helmed by Chef Gug from North East Thailand, who takes pride in preparing his sauces, pastes and dips from scratch and by using the finest freshest ingredients to give diners the most authentic Thai dining experience.
Krung Thep is a noodle bar by day, serving 8 types of noodles and small plates as well as a selection of delicious desserts.
Hubby's favourite was the Kao Soi Gai (RM28), a Northern Thai chicken curry rice noodles dish, topped with crunchy pickled Chiang Mai mustard greens. The flavorful, vibrant broth is thick, creamy and spicy, beautifully balanced by the pickled greens and a squeeze of lime.
For vegetarians, there is Wun Sen Pat Dtao Huu Yui (RM23), stir fried glass noodles with beancurd and mushroom. Even a meat lover like me loved this dish - so appetizing, and plenty of wok hei!
Of course you must also have the Tom Yam Pla Gra Pong Daeng (RM38), a clear hot and sour soup with huge chunks of snapper fish. This spicy soup will definitely awaken your senses.
Another must-try is the Kai Ceiw Pu (RM25), fluffy duck egg omelette with crab meat, served with a homemade Sriracha sauce.
Lemongrass cooler (lemongrass, lemon, sencha -RM15) and Princess Pandan (Tanqueray Gin, pandan, earl grey - RM30)
For desserts, we went for the classic mango sticky rice, however to our pleasant surprise, Krung Thep's version uses black glutinous rice which gives it a delicious, nutty flavour. This also comes with fresh mango, fresh coconut slices and coconut milk.
Khao Niaow Dam Ma Muang (RM22)
Even the Tub Tim Krob (RM20) here is served differently - red rubies, jackfruit, coconut syrup and toasted peanuts is served with a scoop of luscious coconut ice cream. Perfect treat for a hot day!

Oh! The place with the pulut hitam mango dessert. We tried that at home, not a great idea, not a good combination. It has to be with the regular pulut...and pulut hitam has its own place as a really nice dessert with coconut cream!
