I wasn’t going to ever write about Cuisine Bangkok, the Thai place on the 3rd floor food court in the constantly-renovating Faubourg. It’s not because I didn’t think it didn't deserve it, but but because it would be like writing “Schwartz’s – Best Smoked Meat.”

Yeah. Duh.

But it was recently brought to my (appalled) attention that not everyone does know about Cuisine Bangkok, and so while this will probably be quite repetitive for many, hopefully it inspires the few who haven’t had the joy of eating Bangkok’s food to head downtown and get the best Thai around.

With the exception of maybe one or two Thai restaurants, Bangkok offers the best Thai in the city. Considering their low, low prices and quick service, it’s rare that I eat anywhere else Thai but here. My favourite dish is their infamous phad thai. The seafood option comes with (a) shrimp, mussels, squid, tofu, egg and enough noodles to fill two people. Its sauce is just perfect, and I appreciate that you can order the food to contain the amount of spiciness you want (though my pleas to have it made as spicy as possible often seem to be ignored).

Their menu is massive. Other top dishes of mine are the green curry, the garlic broccoli and beef chili paste. But to be honest, I haven’t had a dish I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed there (though it’s rare I step outside of the phad thai addiction). Prices range from $5 - $8 for mains, and you can get it all take-out (for those at-home movie nights, there isn’t a better food option.)

Short and sweet for those of you not in the Bangkok-Know. Do not let another day go by!
