KHAO KHAO URBAN THAI – Jakarta

Have you been to Khao-Khao? It is an Urban Thai restaurant located in Neo Soho Central Park Mall and WTC Sudirman. Me and Mr. Jajan are super glad to find out that Khao-Khao’s concept is more on casual dining concept, anyone even solo diner can enjoy Thai food without over ordering.

The portion at Khao-Khao is not too big, it comes in affordable pricing as well. But how about the taste? Does it taste good? That was our first concern, well can can easily say that the food at Khao-Khao exceeded our expectations, tasty and packed with flavors, we got super excited when trying it. Here are some of the recommended dishes:

Kai Pad Prik Klea IDR 49k
Honestly we had very low expectations for this menu, but we’re glad that we decided to give it a try. It is a Thai style blackpepper chicken rice bowl and it turned out to be very TASTY!! The chicken was fried and then sauteed with blackpepper seasoning, very fragrant with nice charred aroma, salty with subtle hint of sweet, too good you have to give it a try!! It’s perfect for quick lunch option.👍🏻👌🏻

Tom Yam Noodle Soup IDR 54k
Mr. Jajan confirms will reorder this dish on our next visit. Spicy hot and sour tom yam soup with flavorful noodle served with shrimp and fish ball. Since the soup is very rich and flavorful, it is served separately from noodle so you can adjust the amount of soup according to your liking. Springy noodle, bold spicy and sour flavor, super addictive and appetizing.

Thai Tea IDR 21k & Coffee IDR 23k

Thai Suki IDR 95k
Mixed of seafood in Thai suki broth with a choice of Tom Yam / Tom Kha / Keng Jed soup. We tried Tom Yam soup, compared to the Tom Yam Noodle dish above, this one has lighter broth but just as nice with all the flavors we expected. Spicy sour with festive ingredients and the huge portion.

Khao Op Saperot IDR 49k & Kwetiaw Pad Thai Shrimp IDR 51k
It won’t be complete having Thai food without ordering their fried rice & Pad Thai, so we ordered Khao Op Saperot (Pineapple fried rice served with chicken) & Kwetiaw Pad Thai Shrimp (Thai style stir fried noodles with yellow tofu, shrimp, ground peanuts, and fresh bean sprouts). Both were well made, enjoyable and not laking of any seasoning at all.

Phesom Yang IDR 65k
These combination simply can’t go wrong. A mixed of beef, chicken, and fish ball cooked in traditional Thai barbeque with warm rice. The beef and chicken were well marinated, best when dipped into their Thai sauce with spicy tangy kick.

Nam Kang Sai IDR 31k
To end our meal, we has this festive Thai mixed shaved ice with cincau, jackfruit, coconut, bread, etc. It was sweet and refreshing.
