Where to eat when in Bangkok? Krua Apsorn

Hungry after our Grand Palace tour, we decided to eat somewhere near. We haven't tried riding the Chao Phraya River Express Boat so we looked for a Thai restaurant along Chao Phraya River. We found Krua Apsorn, near Tha Tewet (N15) station, 5 stations away from the Grand Palace.

It's a simple restaurant, but I've read a lot of rave reviews about it. It was even awarded as Bangkok's Best Restaurant by the Bangkok Post on 2006. 

Few local diners on a Monday afternoon (2pm)

Some articles published about Krua Apsorn at the back of their menu 

One of the recommended dishes is the Fried Curry Crab. But we already tasted that one at Somboon Restaurant (read the entry here) so we opted for stir-fried crab meat in yellow chilies and green beans. It has a mild spice to it, and it tastes good!

Another specialty that we ordered was stir fried mussels in fish sauce with basil and chili.

For our veggies, meat with asparagus. Another simple looking but great tasting dish! :)

And for our dessert, coconut sorbet. I am not really in love with this one. It's just frozen coconut juice with some coconut flesh.

Again, our stomachs were so full with great tasting Thai food! :)
