Hungry Thirsty

Hungry Thirsty breathes new life into the space formerly occupied by the popular Ugly Baby and now draws lines of its own for its standout southern Thai cooking. From the bright yellow facade to the orange walls and blue-and-green bar, this place doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to bold design, and the vibe is equally upbeat. And then there’s the food, with a range of likeable dishes like salads, curries, stir-fries and sides turned out by Chef Prasert “Tee” Kanghae. Pla Kra Pong Tod Nam Pla is a beautiful, fried branzino served with dipping sauce that impresses with each bite, and thirteen eggs, a plate of soy sauce-marinated eggs, is a worthy accompaniment. For dessert, a coconut houses jelly with strips of sweetened coconut flesh for an intriguing ending.
